WE do not give credence to the story
that the English Government refused to
ransom Generals Gordon and Stewart 1t
is probable that FL Mahdi, early in the
siege of Khartoum, made some offer in the
nature of proposition to England TO pay
him money for immunity for Gordon in
ease the latter fell into his hands But
that he had the ability to carry out such
contract, or that he had khartoum so at
his mercy, no one believed up to the time
of the loss Of iil-fated Stewart. If Eng
land refused after the capture and murder
of that officer, when the Mahdi had DEM
onstrated his power to crush the city, the
late Government Is deserving Of unlimited
censure. 1t issaid that the False Prophet,
when he first made the proposition, did
not ask for the payment of the money
until Gordon should be delivered Here,
it must be admitted, there was difficulty.
How could it be shown to the world that
FL Mahdi had permitted his escape? How
could it be established that the Prophet
certainly would have taken Khartom D.?
Had the English Cabinet agreed to pay FL
Mahdi $4,000 on the arrival of General
Gordon within the English lines, it would
have been without proof positive of ina
bility to rescue him, such a confession of
inability as to have made England the
laughing stock Of the world. But if, as we
have said ii is shown clearly that the offer
was renewed after the loss of Stewart, and
when FL Mahdi had proven his ability to
take Khartoum at any moment, and if
England then refused to negotiate for the
surrender of Gordon-then to all intents
and purposesa prisoner of war-the nation
will he a target of shame for the scorn of
the world.

mining business. and finds in it no COM
pensation whatever for the injury done by
it, nor does it find that the hardships
likely to result on its cessation are of a
character to warrant the risk Of permitting
a continuance of the destructive industry.
That conclusion has long ago been reached.
1t has been the judgment of all well-in-
formed minds not blinded by prejudice
and local interests that hydraulic miners
must not be permitted to carry on their
business to the injury of navigable and
valley interests. No one in the valley
cares what methods the hydraulic miners
may adopt to secure the harmless end, so
long as the plan is not new menace to
the rivers and low lands Against miners
that do not do damage, that neither ell
the streams nor injure agricultural lands,
there has been and viii be no complaint.
When the CaHsays that the river cannot
for many years he free from matter
coming from the old deposits, it simply
states the case as it will be after new con-
tributions to the stream from 10th new and
old deposits shall have been prevented.
Until then the river will not only not be
freed, but-and we call the attention of
our contemporary to the testimony of

here about $50 o'clock this morning for
fire in a grain field, half mile from town,
near the Slaughter house. Henry Wetrous
barn and dwelling and stock of hay and
straw were consumed. The damage is
about $500; covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire is not known.
a shooting affair took place about P. ~

which Scott, barkeeper, fired four shots
at bricklayer named Mike Dell The
latters clothing was cut in several places
by bullets, but no wounds were inflicted
upon his person. The quarrel originated

The Future of Fine Stock.
Spirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
The drift ofprogress in the business
of breeding fine stock points to posi-
bic time-we might almost say posi-
tive time-says the National Stockman,
when some Of the conditions now ex>
isting will be very much changed.
One of these changes undoubtedly will
be the building up of a trade in the
expectation of breeding stock, as well
as animals for food purposes. The
lavish expenditure Of money among
the herds and flocks and on the breed.
ing farms of the old world is fast trans.
ferring to our shores the very cream of
the breeds. Nearly every special
breed, in the introduction of which
vast sums are being expended has its
headquarters beyond the Atlantic in
diminutive district hardly larger than
some of our counties. These districts
are being drawn upon constantly, and
many of them in an increasing ratio,
for the very best animals they can fur
nish. 1t is we'll known that there are
already more registered animals of
some breeds in this country than the
countries from which they are impor-
ted. 1t is also true that we have some
of the very best specimens of some of
the breeds to be found anywhere. And
still our stockmen are buying and inn
ported with a freedom and liberality
which shows that what they do not all
ready have they will have if money
can get it. To what does all this
point? Can it mean anything else
than that this country will ultimately
be the headquarters for nearly every
choice breed known to agriculture
An occasional choice animal now goes
eastward across the Atlantic to grace q
flock or herd in Europe; and we be-
lieve it is not too much to say the time
will come when this will be the main
source of supply of Holsteins for Hol
land, Jerseys for the Channel Islands,
Shorthorns, Devons and Herefords fol
England, as we'll as Ayrshires and
Polls for Scotland. Is it not reasona'
bic to suppose that the shipments Of
draught horses from America will
some day be as heavy as they are now
on our shores There is now an un
questionable tendency toward these
things.

Food for Great Butter Yields.

National Livestock journal.
The Jersey breeders are doing very
praise. worthy work in testing their
COWS for milk and butter. The Jersey
is to be priced, especially as yielder
of excellent butter, and to develop her
capacity for this is the very mission of
the Jersey breeders, They are now
doing the sensible thing-holding all
fancy points in allegiance, while they
show what she is really good for, and
how much she is good for. The tests
are, some of them, so very extraordi.
nary that it is difficult to place limit
to her capacity. The hitherto four
pounds of butter per day limit is too
modest to be considered.
All the rations that we have exams
ined, of cows yielding large amount
OF butter, have shown an apparent
waste of food--that is, great excess
of food beyond what science would
show to be necessary for this produc>
ton of butter. But there has been
very little pains taken, as yet, to study
the most important question Of food in
those tests. The COW should be accu-
rately weighed before the experiment
begins, and again at the end of the
test. We want to see what becomes
of this great excess of food. If the
COW gains three pounds per day in
weight, that would account for a part
of the excess of food. If the COW takes
exercise, we want TO know how much,
and what, for this consumes food. The
owners of these remarkable butter
cows will soon find that they have been
neglectihg this question of food too
long. Careful experiments should be
made with these cows, with different
amounts of food, for it may prove that
smaller ration would produce the
same yield of butter.

Corn Exports.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
Notwithstanding our large crop of
corn, the exports are not so large as
last year, showing falling off since
the first of September Of about $780,
600 bushels to England and the Conti>
nent. We can find a use for all our
corn at home, and it pays better to
turn it into hogs, cattle and whisky.
A Western correspondent of the Jour-
nal says: "The movement in corn for
an eighteen hundred million crop, so
far has been very small. With corn
now in Illinois, at all interior receiving
points, at from 80 to 30 cents, there is
no glut at local receiving points. Far
mers do not seem any more inclined to
sell their corn in Illinois, since the adj
vance, than they we're when it was
worth from 20 to % cents per bushel.
The real truth is that the great bulk of
our corn crop is now converted into
hogs and cattle, and it is only the rent
er, and poor, shiftless farmer that sells
a bushel OF corn in its raw state.
Iowa is also a great home consumer of
corn, and presume you would smile
when l make the statement that Iowa,
in many localities, did not grow, in
1884, more corn than she will need
before another corn crop can be made.
With hogs cdming to Chicago at the
rate of from twenty to fifty thousand
per day, it is no wonder that our corn
ceceipts have been so small"

Abominable Meanness.

The Times.Democrat says that re,
Gently a Pullman car, containing a
millionaire and his family and friends,

tuously every day and had a glorious
time generally. On their return
trip the train was stopped by two rag
ged urchins waving shreds of white
cloth, just before it reached place
where a bridge had been washed away.
On the spot and in sight of the terrible
chasm that yawned for their destruc
ton, and from which the boys had
saved them, a purse was made up TO
reward the saviors of their lives.

If it had been Mr.. Vanderbilt he would
have placed both those boys at school,
and after they had been educated he
would have given them positions of
pay and trust. Besides he would have
made the mother and father and family
comfortable by competency. The
cabin would have given place to nice
dwelling. There is a difference in
men. Look at Vanderbillts generosi
ty to his fellow man in many instances,

Remedy for Chicken Cholera.

Spirit of the Farm.
The Department of Agriculture pub
fishes the following remedy, recon-
mended by DR.. Salmon, for preventing
this destructive disease that annually
carries off SO many thousand fowls:
For this disease very cheap and
most effective disinfectant is a solution
made by adding three pounds of sui,
phuric acid to forty gallons of water
Tor one,fourth pound of sulphuric acid
to three and half gallons of water)
mixing evenly by agitating or stirring.
This may be applied to small surfaces
with small watering pot, or in larger
grounds with a barrel mounted on
wheels and arranged like a street
sprinkler. In disinfecting poultry
houses, the manure must be first thor.
oughly scraped up and removed be-
yond the reach of fowls, slight sprink.
ling is not sufficient, but the floors and
roosts and grounds must be thoroughly
saturated with solution, so that no
particle of dust, however small, escapes
being wet. 1t is impossible to thor
oughly disenfect if the manure is not
removed from the roosting places.
Sulphuric acid is very cheap, costing
at retail not more than % cents a
pound, and at wholesale but 5 or 6
cents. The barrel of disinfecting solu-
ton can, therefore, be made for less
than 81, and should be thoroughly ap'
piled. 1t must be remembered, too,
that sulphuric acid is dangerous drug
to handle, as, when undiluted, it de-
stroys clothing and cauterizes the flesh
whenever it touches.

carried per team, we could, on the
basis of fifteen miles per day for load

But the commercial view is not the
only one, nor, indeed, the most imporN
tant. Good roads are as necessary to
comfortable living as good houses, or
good suits of clothes, or a thousand
other things which our civilization de-
mands, and which cannot be measured

But while it stands as a fact in his
tory that the character of country roads
is one of the most certain indications of
the civilization of any people, there are
persons who will be more influenced by
an appeal to the pocket, and therefore
