Common stock Cows.


ss We. hear much abont pure breed and
the papers, generally give the idea that
no other eowa are of any value in COM
parison with these. Il is y fact that for
certain puFposss some breods have been
cultivated tp.ayery high condition. so
that for butter, aud cheese aud milk. or
for beef, the respective breeds can readily
% named. a.sq OIL 10 s.ta3 pa. "a, )
For one, II have, never doubted the
fact that by q continued, course Of tho
most skillful treatment. and the neces-,
snry continued selection, almost any
quantity can be brought into promi-
nence-Iwhether in cattle or flock, But
this does not convert the fact, that in
my mind, TIE common and every y-day
COW may be brough. into this condition
by judicious feeding and care III
1t is on this account that I advise my
farmer friends to pick out their best
common stock cows before spending very
large sums Of money III purchasing fa-,
nous members OF famous herds -
Take any promising COW, feed her
properly, treat her tenderly. pet her and
call her frequently by name, comb and
handle her freely, and you can make a
prize COW of her. The actual increase
in her produce will be wonderful indeed
both as to quality and quantity.
am not writing this to oppose pure
bred COWS but they are facts which I
state to encourage those farmers who do
not feel, able to expend large sums of
money in those depressed times for
very few animals. They can bring num-
bers of their herd up to that point where
they will equal or surpass the very best
registered stock.
The COW is an animal that likes es-
pecially to be treated in an affectiouate
and gentle manner and to such treat
mcnt she will respond promptly and to
remarkable degree Her ear is attuned
to sweet sounds and soothing, caressing
words and she appreciates all kindness
you can bestow upon her,
Pure bred cows are accustomed to all
these things. while the common stock
arc left to take their chances. If tho
reverse Of this was practiced for short
time it would soon appear that the COM
mon stock stood high up and the pure
bred stock was mparatively low in the
most desirable points. Neglect will tell
every time in failure Of the stock; and
so on tho other hand attention to its
comfort will equally tell in its pros
pcrity M. IN the american Farmer.

How the Money Com es Back.

The bank note or treasury note that
goes forth from the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, looking so bright and
handsome, comes back in time, perhaps
ragged. dirty and torn. like some old
tramp, to end its career there. Every
day or two one will see closed van,
looking like big safe on wheels, drawn
through the streets from tho Treasury
Department to the Bureau, attended
usually by three or four men. This
contains the old paper money that has
come back to the Treasury for redemp-
tion. II is taken to q room in the rear
Of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. In the floor Of this room arc two
circular holes, about two feet in diane
ter. Looking down one of these holes
into the dark depths below one can SEQ
a part Of the surface Of q hugo iron cyl
indcr. The cylinder can be opened by
means of round lid or cover. When the
old money is brought in it is dumped
down funnel into one Of these cylin-
ders. A committee, comprising repre-
sentatives of tho different branches OF
the Treasury Departmentinterested be-
sides one representative, in theory. al
least, of the general public, who gravelJ
watches the operation. When all the
money has been dumped and mixed witt
the chemicals used in the process o
maceraton, the cylinder lid is CLOSED
and locked with several padlocks Eaci
member Of the committee takes the keI
Of one Of the padlocks. The cylinder il
then set to revolving, and turns anc
turns until the committeeman come th'
next day and open the lid. If they
find that the mass has been reduced to
pulp and lost all sem blance and trace o
its original character the cylinder i
emptied. If maceration is not com
pleted the cylinder is set in motiol
again. From 100 to 1000 pounds 0
old notes, aggregating millions OF dol
lars, are placed in cylinder at time
and what would constitute prin:el

British and American Wheat Growing.

The English economists are puzzled
by the problem presented by wheat cul-
tivation in India, To that they ascribe
many of their woes and many of the un-
certaintics of the future. The first ex-
port of wheat from India was in 1868,
and the quantity was $4,000 bushels.
There was slow increase for few
years until 1876, when the amount was
4, ,697 900 bushels. In 1881 tho amount
was 13, ,896, ,167, bushels, For the six
years, 18S2-87, the average export has
been 35, $50 900 bushels. In tho earlier
years most of this wheat went to Great
Britain, at least four-ffths of it; but
utterly, say 1882 to 1887, the propor
ton has been less than one-balf. The
price of India wheat at the place Of ex-
port has been few cents less than that
of our wheat, but the ocean freigbts
have been about as much in favor Of tho
American product, and on arrival the
latter is found to be cleaner and better,
and is not prejudiced for best uses by the
India grain. Much has been said and
written concerning the possible rivalry
between the wheat product Of India and
that of the United States, and the pos
sible expulsion of the latter from the
market of Europe This possibility may
be regarded as very remote for various
reasons, such as the imperfect methods
of culture and harvesting in India, the
cost of interior transportation, the in
ferior quality Of the grain, the necessity
of irrigation, etc.
India raises ono bushel to a head Of
the population, the United States seven
India has one mile Of railroad to 10000
people, the United States one to 435.-
The people of India require by far the
largest proportion Of their wheat pro-
