Receipts were light and demand for

markets were strong at shade higher
prices than last Monday all along the line.
The supply of cattle consisted Of 1888 head,
nearly all of which were from Chicago. In
the offerings there were no prime heavy
beeVes. Drovers claim that there is no money
in this grade Of cattle in our markets. Bu'ch-
ers here, it is claimed, are unwilling to pay
more than Chicago prices on prime heavy cat
tie, and hence none Of this grade have been Of
fered of late. The best offered weighing from

There is no profit to US in sheep and lambs,
and has not been for week or two past. We
paid for carload of lambs from Chicago to-

cost to him at Chicago was s6 30 per cwt, so
that he had little margin of profit when freight
and shrinkage are considered. 1 would be glad

Horse Breeding Heavy and Light.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
In common with many others, l
had supposed the horse-breeding
booms, both heavy and light weights,
had reach d its largest development
some time ago but the demand tbise
spring for horses of all classes and
prices paid for them go to show that
the supply is not equal to the demand
and that the market for good horses
is not likely to be glutted for some
years. 1t is still the heavy weights
and the dappled greys that bring the
best prices, though the owner of a
good, sound stylish driver, can hardly
go mile and not be importuned to
sell in fact, it is nearly impossible to
keep really good horse in the coun-
try, so loud is the call to meet the
city demand.
Perhaps one of the greatest obsta-
Giles the breeder of horses for fast,
light and hard work, have to con-
tend against in prairie Illinois, is the
state of the roads at certain seasons of
the year which prevent that measure
of exercise, training and driving, alb
sOlutely essential for the horses, pair
or single, that are to command good
price. With the draft horse the case
is different; little more has to be
done after he has been trimmed and
halter-broken, than to stuff him with
grass, hay and grain until he is three
years old, when having acquired the
weight and condition of good ex.
port steer, and costing no more, he is
sold for from two and a half to three
times as much per pound, live weight

diana, but the losses from azoturis
have been so many that stabling anC
stall feeding are not practiced as zeal
ously as formerly. AS for the winter
ing of work horses, it is found by ex.
perience, that if they are not stabbed
and get only such food as stalk field
winter pasture and hay stack t
run to, afford through the cold season
when put to the plow, and fed thu
usual rations of corn and oats, they
gain right along, while grain fed anC
, stabbed horses fall away under tn,
pressure of moderate work and ris
ing temperature.

shrubs are generally destroyed by
being cut at this time, though very
persistent in growth if cut at any
other time of the year; moving
them now generally kills or reduces
their vitality to the lowest point.
Cutting these bushes at this time of
the year, and then if they start up at
all, through some dry weeds or BUSH
es on their stubs, setting fire to them
when the new sprouts have made
their appearance, has generally
ample effect to destroy them. In
this way, with small labor, the farm
will be freed of its inconvenience,
and the cleared fields and woodlands
will stand seperate and in their prop
er places. J.F.

Bushes and Weeds on the Farm.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
1t seems very strange thing that
our farmers should allow so many
bushes, shrubs, and weeds to be
growing along public highways and
in other conspicuous places on their
farms. What a bad effect it has on
the appearance of mans farm! So
small an expense would be required
in removing them all Can it be
that some farmers want their farms
to revert to wilds? They all the
time receive no profit from them, but
they have TO pay taxes on them. |
cannot see why it is that farmers
sometimes increase the acreage of
their land. They do not see the eX-
tent of land which might, with large
profits, be brought under control,
and produce more on small area
with less labor, and without extra
taxes and cost.
Farmers are careless, and try to do
a great deal without doing it well.
If they had only considered it in
time, they woSld have been the first
to exclaim against the folly of re-
framing from doing a thing which
could be done so easily, and which
was of so much importance.
All will agree with me when say
that if the highway is simply moved
every year clear up to the fence, nc
weeds will grow there as general
thing, but good grass, on the other
hand, will take their place, and
cause as beneficial supply as any
part of the farm. Every one knows
too well for me to express it, that
weeds and bushes cannot live where
they are regularly moved every
year. Every one who has any sense
of propriety will be struck with the
folly of so moving a field that when
the central part is cut for harvest, q
streak will be left along the fence
which is not moved. Let me say to
every farmer who has not mown uI
to his fences fully this year, or who
has bushes and coarse weeds growing
along them, which are the conse
quence of that space not having beer
mown in years back, to do so thi;
year; NOW every one of those weeds
and bushes, and do not fail to do this
every year, and in few years hi
will have no bushes along his fences
and every inch of his farm will pay
and look better.
At the time of haying is the propel
season of the year to cut these coarse
weeds and bushes, and if cut every
year at this time they are sure to b
killed. All the larger bushes ant

into the field, examined the wheat,
and declared it to be four times as
good as his, which had been plowed
with the old fashioned scooter, and
no clover turned under. Still he
chung to his former doctrine for sever
al years, that the world was made
right side up. Finally, a son of the
old man married a daughter of this
young man. After the marriage, his
father said to him chat years before
he had told this young man he was a
fool to work against God; "but, my
son, by sowing clover and using the
turning pillow, 1 have increased my
wheat crop four-fold; 60 and do as
your father-in-law says on the
farm" Now, we see daily examples
like this. The men who read, make
improvements, get good tools, etc.,
and the others, eventually seeing the
benefits, adopt them, but lose many
years of hard work, which might
have been very well utilizd if they
had only read and found out the
great benefits before.
The want OF information causes our
farmers many millions of dollars
loss, which they might save and
grow rich, if they only would change
their ways. The excessive rains this
spring have cost our farmers hun
dreds and thousands of acres of land
for wheat, which if tiled and drained
would have been worth millions to
them. A piece of land which is well
drained this year, that will make SO
or 60 bushels per acre, adjoins some
equally as good, which, for want Of
drainage will not make one bushel
per acre, and still the owner of the
drained land is laughed at by the
owner of the wet land, merely be-
cause he found the way of drying hi;
land and enhancing its fertility, by
reading an agricultural paper. A few
months ago / heard one Of the neigh
bors of this man say he would not LET
a man put pipes in his land to dry it.
as he would need the water in sum
mer. An examination of the two
fields adjoining each other today
shows the great contrast derived only
by the beneficial effects of "bool
farming"
Itis time for our people to abandon
such ideas.and change their tactics
Let us all strive to encourage the cir
culation and reading Of agriculture
journals, and / have no doubt
brighter future will dawn on us il
the way of better crops and bette
farming. w. H. BONNER.

THE anii-mormon plank of the Re- publican platform is one Of the most lying, infamous connections of words ever put into sentences. No gather ing of men ever met together and gave vent to their feelings against the murderous Apaches in more venomous terms than are couched in the lan- guage against the Mormons. And yet what pleasure it is to see party not hide it's light under a bushel. Ii man transgresses the laws, the law reaches him. If the Mormons are transgressing the laws of the land, why are they not accorded the same courtesy as an accused thief or mur- derer and allowed to prove their inno- cenee of any crime against the rules of society. Are the men who voted for this clause in an otherwise clean platform, as willing to have their records barred to the public gaze as the men are whom they accuse of be- ing outlaws2 Mormonism, Catholic ism, and Protestantism may have .i.c:= las:i.s ;:. >. .ie :ihe e;-ees q aa cfPcSi- ton party; the Czar Of Russia in the expulsion of the Jews from that coun- try, is guilty of no more un-Americsn spirit than that shown by society of Americans who will accept the money of Mormon with one hand. while he stabs him with the other.
