Wood ashes are said to be valuable fertilizer
for onions.
Two thousand blooded bulls were taken upon
the cattle ranges of Arizona las year.
A great many cattle are reported to have been
frozen to death in western Kansas during the
cold weather, and the severity of the winter is
said to have done good deal of damage among
the fiocks and herds of Texas.

Live Stock and Prosperity.

chicago Tribune.
English agricultural journals. while praising
crops of that country, are constantly urging the
extension of livestock breeding. The great
average yields of grain in Great Britain are only
possible by the liberal use not only of barnyard
manure. but of commercial fertilizers in connec-
ton with the most precise cultivation. The En-
glish have also brought the breeding of animals
to the highest perfection-a perfection nowhere
else reached except in the United States and
Canada.
The reason why the English press so urgently
advise the extension of live stock is. that in the
cultivation of cereal grain. even with the obsta-
cles thrown about the importation of foreign
products. the profits growing less and less
year by year. In this the English landlords are
in the same category are those of countries
where the price of land is too high for the cult
walton of the coarser grains The soil must be
used for special crops, else rents must fall It is
we'll known that this has been the case of late
years, and during the last year concessions have
been made to the extent of from IS to 30 Der
cent on rents not only IN Ireland, but in Eng
land
Live stock is the basis of successful agricult-
ure in all countries. since without manure there
can be no crops unless on virgin soil; and the
higher the cultivation the better the manure
pays. 1t would seem that England had already
carried the breeding and feeding of live stock to
the full capacity of the country. England buys
largely also OF our coarse grains and oilcake to
feed to animals. If the live stock industry is
still further increased England must call upon
US still for feeding stuff To this our farmers
will not object, of course LII England and the
continental countries see fit to throw OBJ
stacles in the way of sending live
stock and meats to their countries. well and
good. We cannot help ourselves. except that by
common consent we can refuse TO buy gewgaws
of them. In the meantime there can be good
reason why not only England, hut every other
country should push it's live stock interests the
utmost. That is what Western farmers certain
ly should do It is cheaper to send the manu-
rial, and the manure is worth as much 10 West
ern farmers as to any other land No farmer
ever got rich raising the coarseP grains for mar
ket. and only in very limited degree can they
be used. Feed the grain on the farm and sell
the stock.
