ALI women who are in the habit Of

warned against the careless habit oil
leaving any tea in the teapot to be

deal of mischief. A little weak tea new

Short-lzorn Ca.tfe in Nevada.

ShOrt-IzOrn &c. sic Al NcYada.
| One Of our Nevada subscribers
says the Live Stock Journal. w. J
Marsh, in letter to the Register
Inyo, Cal, gives his experience viii,
some Shors-horn steers as follows
! There is general feeling among
farmers and stockmen that to pay
more than $50 for a sire is the pre-
clude to financial rum. They go
on supplying three-year old beef
steers to the butchers that weigh
J0Gfbs., and arc elated If a few
reach 550lbs., and fail to see that
by the expenditure of 5000 to 5000
! for sire that is purely bred, and
worth something to their herds,
they could sell two-year-olds as
heavy as their three-year-olds now
average, saving a year in time, and
the cost of keeping and all attend
ant risks for year. ! recently
sold thirty beef steers, all three
year Odds but six, which were four
year olds. Among them was one
half Short horn steer, three years
old, and in no way superior to the
average Short horn steer, that
weighed alive, after driving twenty
SIX miles in one day, ,294fbs. Tie
other Twenty-Five made an average
live weight of l ,l9Sfbs., and dressed
only 80 per cent. of live weight,
He dressed 80 lbs more than the
bes. fouryear-old, and 20G lbs more
than the twenty-Einc head averaged.
This steer ranged in the mountains
with the others aud fed with them,
showing his contempt for tie stale
and false notion that Short-horns
cannot rustic for living, and prov
ing their ability to out-srow other
animals under equal conditions.
All this is SIMPLY the result of us
ing a pure Short-horn sire. This |
steer did not cost me any more |
than the others. and on the butch |
ar's block brought me over SD |
more than they did. Now | would |
like to ask such of your readers as
think they cannot afford to buy |
thoroughbred sires, how many half |
breed Short horn steers it viii take |
to pay for even a $500 bull, out of |
the extra pounds Of meat they will |
dress over and above the animals
they are now raising? The first !
forty steers raised will cover the
price. When there are forty steers
there will be forty heifers that will
be worth 81 80 head more than
their mothers as 4 foundation fer
further improvements. To ali in
.ents the sire is half the herd in
tie force for good or
vii within it. No breeder Of cat
lie can afford to use a common
ire. To do SO is a bad type Of
penny wise and pound
eolish practice. The man who
!oes not improve his stock will get
eft. Breed from the best forever.

An Instance of Bird Wisdom,

A correspondent of the I london Ag-
ricuItural Gazette relates the following
incident of bird wisdom, and points a
moral between the lines, applicable to
American as well as English thrushes;
Last Sunday 1 spent few hours at
country mansion. The rain had evil
IDENTIFY brought out the snails. For
some time we noticed from the windows
that several thrushes were busily at
work. At short intervals they arrived
with snails and tapped them in the walk,
and then went out for others. In one
of the walks bordering the lawn and
near to the dining room window piece
of rock abutted The thrushes had
found this and used it breaking the
shells of the snails in order to get at
the contents. We counted the remains
of fifteen snail shells, and doubtless the
Strawberries, etc., will be more numer-
Gus from their death.

A correspondent asks: Does it pay
to cook or steam feed for fattening hogs
and brood sows, if we have to pay from
$50 to $50 for cooker? In reply we
would say that it will pay to use more
time and care in the preparation of
food products for swine and other
stock. 1t should be either cooked or
proper elements should be incorpo-
rated or mixed together.-LiUe Stock
Journal.
Exposure to cold, says the Rural
Neeo YORKER, causes suffering. Suffer-
ing is at the expense of the vital forces
and wastes flesh. Flesh is wholly put
on and maintained by the consumption
of food, and anything that wastes flesh
wastes food. Food, whether grown or
purchased, represents the products of
the farm, and on its proper consump-
ton depends the profits of farming.
The farmer, therefore, who compels
his stock to run out of doors and en-
dure the cold, does not understand the
first principles of animal life, or of the
conversion of food into valuable prod
ucts.

A WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Some Carefully Compiled Statistics of
General Interest Relative to the Rapid
Increase in Population and Wealth Of
the More Northern Portions of the
Great Northwest.
The late reports from the Executive
officials of the great States and Terri
tories of the Northwest show a sur
prising growth in population and
wealth. This important region COM
prises the rich agricultural and grazing
States and Territories of Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon.
MINNESOTA.
The returns from the Minnesota GEN.
sus taken in May, 1885, show popu-
lation in the State of LILY, 1893. In
1880 it was 780,773. The assessed valu-
alton of property in Minnesota is $401,-
OPS, 587; in 1880 it was $258, 055, 543; in
crease, $142, 973,044.
The cities of st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, the largest and most important
business metropolis of the State, and in
fact of the entire Northwest, show an
unprecedented growth. They are sit
uated 20 near each other that their cor
porate limits now join, and form a
great commercial center. They are
about equal in size, and their combined
population by the census of May, 1885,
was 240, 597; in 1880 it was $4,000, in
crease, 1857. The capacity of the
Touring mills is $4,000 barrels of flour
a day. Wheat received last year, 49,
43S, 222 bushels; elevator capacity,
$500, 900 bushels; cut of lumber, $780,
724, 379 feet; new buildings erected,
4,S4S; real estate sales, $29, 435, $50.
Duluth and Superior, at the head of
Lake Superior, separated only by the
Bay of St. Louis, form an important
commercial metropolis. Their popula-
ton is upwards of 10000, and next to
Chicago they are the greatest shipping
points for wheat in the West, having an
elevator capacity of 100000 bushels.
DAKOTA.
Dakota shows remarkable growth
in population, and by the development
of only a small portion of its great agri-
cultural resources shows large in
crease in the number of farms, products
of the soil and live stock The returns Of
the Territorial census taken in June,
1885, and the report of Governor Pierce
to the Secretary of the interior for 1885,
compared with the census of 1880, show
the growth of the Territory:

Is Every Body Drunk.

Among the many stories Lincoln used to
relate was the following: Trudging along
a lonely road one morning on my way to
the. county seat, Judge overlook me
with his wagon and invited me to seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon
began to wobble. Said J.: Judge, think
your coachman has taken drop too much :"
Putting his head out of the window, the
judge shouted: "Why, you internal scoun-
del, you are drunk"
Turning round with great gravity, the
coachman said; "Be dad but that's the
frs ,rightful s'cision your HonorIs giv'n N
tweP month";
fpeople knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink a drop" They
are the victims of sleeplessness, of drowsy
days, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more-they will drop dead, just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy useless professional attendance, and by
use of the wonderful Warmers safe cure
neutralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the drunkenness in the
blood. 1.-THE american Rurdl Home.
