rich pasture In Leicestershire pro-dtiei-d .) lnniuds of increase lu the weiyhtof fattening oxen In six months gracing. It required pounds of clover hay, l.Hoo pounds of corn or oil cake and pound of Hwedes to produce the same increase. This fodder was considered equal to three and one-half tons of English hay. Neither suil nor climate in this country are favorable for the maintenance of such pasture here. A great many sheep have been driven from California to the uortii-west within the last year or two, the entire journey being made on foot and consuming several months.

There Is prospects that this business will continue as long as California sheep hold out, as it seems to be one of the best methods of getting rid of a klud of stock which in that country has seen its best days. It Is customary to hold these sheep over a season for grazing in Wynmlng, aud then drive them down into Nebraska to be fed and ripened for the market, In reply to an inquiry as to what variety of quinces are best the 'imnri Uiiitlijium advises the planting of the old, well tried Orange quince, Ilea's has succeeded admirably for some years in the few localities where It has been fully tested', and there will be little risk "in planting it. The newer champion is line in appearance and excellent in quality, but needs further testing. It may be too late in some localities and possibly it may be more subject to blight than the others. It is a very promising sort, and time will tlx its position.

In a late address Professor Wiley gave the result of his investigations to decide the question, low far north may tile sorghum sugar industry extend?" lie believes that the success of the sorghum sugar industry will not be found so lar north as many of his friends had hoped aud many of its devotees prophesied. It is yet early to give a definite answer, but at present he inclines to the opinion that the Isothermal Hues for September, October and November that pass through Cape May, N. should be considered tiie northern boundaries of successful sugar culture. The enormous size to which many of the better specimen of the bronze turkey attain was something exceptional for a few years after they commenced to be disseminated, but at the present time, so marked and special has this valuable trait of size proved that thousands of monster gobblers of the bronze turkey variety are distributed iu all parts of the United States. The ground color of the bronze turkey is mostly black, variegated upon ings and tail with brown, white and gray, while nearly the whole pluntageshows retlections, in a bright light, of the most beautiful bronze.

Some agricultural writer figures on muck iu this way Ten tons of wet muck contain, at, fifty cents a ton five dollars worth of nitrogen. These ten tons wet weigh only three tons when air dry. These three tons would take up six or seven tons of liquid manure before saturation. It then stands thus Three tons of airdry muck, live dollars; six tons of liquid manure (urine) at five dollars a ton, thirty dollars, making a total value of thirty-five dollars. This would make the value per tou ot air dry muck eleven dollars sixty-seven cents, ten dollars of which would lu all probability have been wasted had not the ton of air dry muck been used as an absorbent." The potato possesses the property of eouvertimr a very much larger portion of the manure ingredients of the soil Into human food than any of thecereul grain crops.

For Instance, to every bushel of wheat about 100 pounds of straw are growD, while the haulm of when dry is so light that in experiiueii.liig we do not think worth wliiL- to weigh it. These properties, hen combined with a suitable climate, enable the cultivator to produce upou a given area of ground a much larger amount of human food from the potato-thau from any of the cereal grain crops. The Stockman truly remarks that no other domestic animal seems to possess so strong an instinct for seeking the shade as does the sheep. Whatever shelter from the sun may be available in the pasture is sure to be sought aud occupied by the flock Some of the Curious Animals nd Incidents That Have Come to the Surface. Head of Dog and Tail of Calf.

West Point i'rotfrt A all-amt all curiosity made its debut on Herold's farm last week. The foro part of the animal has the form and feautrea of a bulldog, rud the hind part a calf. Wilse Geist is trying to got it for his museum. A Productive Heifer. t'tic Keeord.

M. Cross, who lives on Henry Clover's farm, baa a heifer which has' played a Ireas 01 nature rather uncommon." The heifer was 1 wo yearB old last November and hna given birth to two calves; the first will te a year old in May and the second is now two weeks old. It auy-hody can trot out anything in the stock line that beats this we would like to have him come to ths front. An Eye Too Many, Rlntiilt City Independent. A euriosiiy iu tne shape of a pig was on exhibition at Thelen's drug store yesterday.

The animal was possessed of a pair of mouths and threseyes. and proved quite an attraction to the sightseer. Such au American hog, full growu and skipped to Germany, wonld have occasioned the disgruuted Bismarck to retire from swlce diplomacy into the mellow haze of an eternal summertime. A Curious Pet. North Loup Herald.

A lady well known in North Loup, living on Mira creek, has for a pet an Infant alligator from tne everglade of Florida. The reptile shows a strong affection for its mistress, and will take food from no other hand. Upou the approach of the lady the strange pet manifests great delight, and iu time will be taught several useful and amusing tricks, such as working a corn stioller, smoking a pipe, etc. This may appear like a strong allegation, but the alligator will do it only give it time. Ah Adopted Family.

York Times. Louis Merchant, living eight miles north of this place, has a cat, who, having the misfortune to: lose her kittens, took the novel way of supplying their place by adopting live small rabbits, bringing them to the house and caring for them as though they were her own kittens and feeding them wHu the lacteal fluid in the usual way. She feels very proud of them, and if any one moves them from their bed, she brings them back again and watches over theui uutil everything is still aud she feels safe in leaving them. We assure the pubiio that this is no fiction, as any one can se them who wishes. A Double Pig.

Tccumneli Chieftain. Landis Hellman drew our attention one day this week to a freak ot nature which goes to prove that wonders in the animal kingdom never cease. The object in question was a young pig, or rat her two pigs, for there were two naturally formed bodies, legs and feet, with but one perfectly formed head. Tbe pig was born on the farm of Theodore Smith and being struck with the natural phenomenon be brought it in and it is now in pickle. Not brine pickle, but alcohol.

Theodore has, as we have recently shown, been very successful as a farmer in Johnson county, but this latest attempt to raise two pigs for one, is liable tocieato jealousy among the neighbors and lead to a glut in the pig market. A Pig With a Trunk. Bazille Mills Times. We were shown a monstrosity the other day, in the way of an infant pig, which, had it been born alive, would have made Barnum torn green with envy until it was owned by him. It was one of a litter dropped by a sow belong ing to uouruana fenaieton, tne nrstoi tne week, it was possessed ot a protuberance, two inches or more in length, which projected from its forehead, reaching nearly to tha snout proper, aud giving it the appearance of au elephant's trunk.

Both tho upper and under jaws had much tha same appearance, giving tbe mouth something the resemblance of a lish'B. In the center of the lore-head, and just under the base of the trunk, was a solitary eye, of large proportions. The moutli was disproportionately large for the rest of the body, and it was barren of hair, bnt otherwise well developed. A Water Salamander. Palmyra Pilot.

Saturday afternoou Mr. O. M. Merwin plowed up a reptile which is certainly a little the strangest thin we ever saw. It is about twelve inches long, has four short legs, the fore feet having four toes and the hind feet five toes the hind feet greatly resembling, in shape, a man's hand.

In color it is black, with orange colored spots ou iti back and sides and on its breast the spots are of a greenish tint. It has a rather large round head, with small eyes, large mouth and fangs in the upper jaw, The tail is long and Hat. It would swim In water like a flsh, and when placed in a bottle of alcohol, for preservation.it lived and moved around for fifteen minutes. We can find no description of anything resembling It. and if any of our readers eversaw anything of the kind we would like to hear from tbera.

It can now be seen at the drug store of Walter Theobald fc Co. Since writing the above E. Martin showed ns a description of it, by Darwin. It is a "Triton, a genius of water-salamanders belougiug to the second section of the order urodeia." Silk Stolen. Beatrice Express.

Warner Gates are among those who suffered from tbe work of the circus-day thieves. In the afternoon four men came into the store about the same time and engaged iu looking at goods. They were in various psrta of the store, and engaged the attention of the proprietors and clerks. Tbey examined goods for a time and then went out. Shortly afterward two bolts of silk, cost value over $125, were missing.

The alleged customers were at once suspected. The authorities were notified, and a search was made for thn parties. One of them was followed to the circus grounds, but there his "shadow" lost sight ot him. Yes terday an officer went to Lincoln, believing that he had obtained a clue to the persons wanted. The robbery was well planned and boldly executed.

At this time the thieves are still at large. Seemn to yield evorjr time to treatment with Swirt'11 Specific. Spartanbvho, March 13, lss4.

To secure these ends, the after eultiva-tiou should never bo deep as to seriously disturb this bed of buried vei-etjiUoii, After deep lirettkliiB ttie soil should be thoroughly by the roller or olod crusher mid harrow. This can he done better before planting than after; aud all the labor of pulverizing tin- soil at this HtttK1' I more than that much saved in the after cultivation. The ipiesiion of planting whether in hiils or in drilled rows, will he decided by the condition of the ground. If this'irt foul with weeds or juhhh, It will require cross pfowimr to cultivate It properly. Hut if the field Is clean, It will be economy to drill in rows about four feet apart.

If planted In hills, the distance apart will depend much 011 the variety of cultivated, and must be sroveriied by tha judciuent of the farmer, Tliu first and second plowinsrs may be done with a two horse cultivator, Imt the after cultivation should bo shallow. To break the few roots that may lmva exteuded into the space between the rows at this early stage ol growth will do no harm, or it may, a has been contended, cause them to multiply but after the stalks are ten itiehe high the roots are numerous and widely distributed, and them at this singe cannot full to seriously interfere with the growth. A lijrht, shallow, one horse cultivator, or spriiitr tooth harrow, should finish the cultivation, leaving the surface quite level. In cultivating the corn oropou our western soil, we have fortunately escaped from the drudgery of hand labor, which was the only condition that could secure a corn crop forty years ago. Our Improved farm tools enable one man and team to cultivate a crop four times large as he could when the hoe was an indispensable factor in the work.

Many gray-halved men yet live that have unpleasant recollections of the long rows of corn to be hoed, that tested their boyish courage on a hot June day. The iinoortaoee and value of the corn crop are constantly incrensini; and there can be but little doubt that it will maintain its supremacy as the American crop. For feeding and fattening stock of all kinds it has 110 i rival. The census of IS-iO puts the value ot the corn crop at while the wheat crop vas but The consumption of corn by distillers will, under the pressure of a healthy public eeutiment, dimiuiuh materially in tha near future, without much doubt, yet the increased nuimi-faeture of starch and glucose will more than compensate for this reduction, and the foreign demand will be constantly aufrmented, as the real merit of the grain Is better understood abroad, Australia and India nitty crowd American wheat out of the European but we are secure ju an increasing com market there, Spring Management of Bees, Kansas City Journal. The farmer who has few stands of bees will not take it amis if a few words are said for his benefit.

Tttemau who is thoroughly posted and has all the appliances necessary to a well equipped apariary, giving it his undivided attention, will be on the lookout for all lbs wants and incidents. To the man who Is so far back In bee culture as to have the old box hive, we would say get rid of the box by driving the bees into a movable frame hive, A few colonies In these hives will supply a large family with the beat of honey for table use and for some cooking purposes. The preat trouble with, a few hives is, they are apt to be neglected. Now, before spring work demands all the time, the bees should be looked after. If, in cold weather, or other cause, they have perished, the comb should be taken out and the clean and white hung away out of reach of mice, while the black, heavy comb should be melted into wax.

the white comb will he of more value give to a new swarm when it comes oil from a surviving stand, than it would to be in wax. It must be remembered that when a pound of comb is given, to a swarm it is equivalent in its saving of bee labor to gathering from twenty to twenty-four pounds of honey, for it would take just that much beo labor to manufacture It. This, the practical bee keeper understands, and hence the great value oftheboney extractor. In the midst of a rich honey harvest, when the comb is filled, he lifts out the frame, places it in the extractor, throws out tbe honey and places the frame brick -In the hive. Instead of consuming the value of sy twenty pounds of honey in building one pound of new ilic l.ees i to work and refill the old comb.

When the board of county commissioners decided to stop work on tbe artesian well at the court house, they further ordered that the casing be drawn up from all that portion of the well below where the flow was struck that was considered sutlicient to supply ibe wants of the building and fountains.

The commissioners were in session yesterday, attending to routine business, when Professor Brinker appeared and said he would like to have the attention of the board for a few minutes. Permission was willingly given and the learned gentleman then imparted the somewhat pleasant and surprising information that the water coming from the 900 foot vein possessed tiie same properties as those ot the famous Spa water in Germany. Professor Hayden testllied that he had made a preliminary analysis and discovered that what was supposed to be sulphur water was in reality what is known as spa water. It is impregnated with carbonate of iron and carbonic, acid. It la free from all organic Impurities, and contains further many of the most famous qualities ol ourative wators, A oomplote and thorough analysis has not yet been made as suiliuient time had not yet been allowed.

When the oomtnissioners were thus enlightened they atoneesent for Contractor T. F. Hughes, and thou and there decided to allow the easing to remnin in place. They will erect a fountain specially for this water and keep it separate from the main How. Contractor Hughes says that tbe water flows at the rate of 2,100 gallons por diom but its pressure shows, tlmt it can be raised in a pipe to thn height of 120 feet above the surface.

The main How yields ft. 000 gallons per diem and enn be raised 71 feet above thn surbiee of the earth. Mexican agents sre persuading Cuban tobacco planters to movs to Mexico. Hevetity-two have decided to go. The magnificent fund of 31 has been raised at Lordsburg, N.

An authority nu butter making says: The keeping quality of butter depends more than upon any other one thlnir, upon the entire removal fiom the butter of the buttermilk and what the buttermilk contains, liuttor is mainly a (at, which fat, purllled of everything foreign, will keep without salt if protected from the air. would not help it to keep. Indeed, the two things, butter-fat arid salt, have no chemical affinity to each other. On the other hand, buttermilk contains a considerable proportion of solid matter of a membraneous or cticous matter, upon which salt lias gome preservative effect. Ilutter, as pure as it can be made by the beat-Is no wu process, will contain more or lens of tills membraneous and other foreign matter.

It will require, at the licet, as much salt as would lie desirable for the sake of entinft quality, to act us a preservative of what foreign matter is Inevitable. If an undue luantitv of the foreign mutter lie left I11 the butter, more salt would be required than would be pood for the taste, or eating quality, of the butter. Moreover, while butter, even without wilt, is slow to take injury from the air, or become rancid, the foreitru mat-tor in butter is quick to spoil or become putrid, ami salt in any quantity will only keep back the spoiling for a time. Kroiu this it will be Heen that if butter is made to contain an undue proportion of foreign matter, it will require, in order to preserve it, so much salt lhat the tasle will be injured, and even then its time of keeping will he limited, because of the presence of the foreign matter. Its life will be shorter, indeed, than that of other and purer butter, lens salted, or not sailed at all.

Tha Texas Cattle Supply, San Antonio Express. Homo of the papers iu other states, aud a great many buyers from eastern slates, owing to the extremely heavy out put of Texas cattle this spring, are Indulging in the fancy that before two more seasons will have rolled around there will he no demand for them, and prices will be down to per head. These papers and individuals are deluding themselves, and show how little they know of Texas cattle, and the territories which for years to come draw on this state for ranch stock. Texas this spring scuds beyond her borders upwards of 375,000 head of oh ng stock, and though thin is the largest out put in her history, there will be left in the' state more young stock than was ever before held over. From (Sau Antonio south, and around Victoria, Goliad, and all the way to the coast, thousands upon thousands of cattle are yet on hand, and can be bought, but fS will not move a single hoof.

Formerly Kansas and the nation got the bulk of the Texas young stock, but now we are stocking ranges in New Mexico, Ari zona, Montana, Wyoming, and far oil Idaho. Our work in those territories has hardly commenced, and will not reach its height for several years yet. It is not a question as to Texiw finding a market for her horn mock, imt whether she will be equal to the task of stocking the ranches of the unde veloped west and northwest as fast as they settle up. Sorghum Raising Pays. lurtltn Firmer.

I plowed the ground as soon as the frost was out, very shallow, then hauled twenty-one loads of slaked anhesand stable manure on he ground, for hich 1 paid It 7o. I then harrowed it well, aud let it lay till I was ready to plant. I then plowed it aijnln, very deep, turning the manure and all under. I then sowed one and bushels of salt on the piece, for which I paid seventy-live cents then harrowed again aud laid off both wavs three feet apart. I dropped the seed ty hand, about ten to the hiil, awl covered with a hoe.

My object for twice plowing was to get the manure down tar enough for the male roots to reach it, and thus give strength to the plant, for the cane plants, when they first shoot through the ground, are very minute aud tender. And again, by plowing the second time you get all the foulness to the bottom, ami bv sp routing he seed before planting and covering shallow, in loose sou, they get a start before the weeds. As soon asall the plants were through I began to cultivate, aud let all grow till about tour inches high, then thinned them to five ina hill. It was so wet that my plants did not do well for some time, but when the dry weather set in the salt served to hold the moisture, and my plants grew rapidly and were nne specimens. I paid $1.00 for seed.

When the time came to harvest the cane arrived 1 hired a boy at seventy-live cents per day. We were two days stripping. We pulled off the blades and put them between the stems, where I let them cure. We took oil' the tops and put them in heaps, and while the dew was 011 bound the leaves In bundles, then cut the cane and bound it up. I hauled my tops and fodder to the barn.

My cane made me gallons, for which! paid to for making. I sold my syrup for 1117.80. it wan a fine sample. This is not all the gain. I had forty-three bead of sheep, which weighed sixty-four pounds per head I fed them on the tons and fodder four months, then weighed them, and found they had gained 0,8 pounds.

I sold at four cents ner pound, which made me a head for mv feed. Of interest to Farmers. A writer in the llurat Xnc Yorker contends that by rlantlng corn at the earliest possible moment we not only increase the chances that he crop wiil receive the necessary number of degrees of accumulated heal during the warm season hut the number of hours of eunshlne as well aud, what is of nearly as much importance, we advance the epoch of blossoming several days and by so doing hasten maturity jy several weeks. This is a new and surprising stalcment to many, but it is, nevertheless, a correct one. An fxperiment made by Dr.

The instinctshould teach the shepherd to provide shade of some kind, hich can be easily readied and is always available. The trees are the shade which nature affords, but it is sometimes better to erect sheds. The common sense of the shepherd is the best guide in this matter. lteports of An experiment made by the State Agricultural college of Michigan, on their farm, with sowing land plaster on grass, claim that two bushels of plaster produces over two-thirds as much increase as twenty loads of horse manure.

Speaking of plaster, the late George Oeddes (once president of the New York State Agricultural society), used to say that the proper time to apply it to clover was after the plants had made some growth say after the wheat harvest on clover sown in the spring. lie thought the plaster acted directly on the leaf ou which it was sprinkled. The Spring Drive. Texas Live 8uck Journal. The spring drive from Texas already on the move gives substantial evidence that the demand forstocking western ranges Is on the increase, ami the number of young cattle that will leave the states of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, New Mexico and Arizona will, when returns are 'all in, foot up a much larger exodus than most reports have estimated.

There is one marked feature about the movement that is gratifying to the drover and also to the holder of young stock in Texas. It is found iu this, that nearly all cattle driven are to fill con tracts, ana consequently few herds will boon the open markets at the northern trade centers. Visits will yet have to be made and supplies secured by men and companies requir ing stock to fill their ranges in the localities above named, and it requires no son of a prophet to tell them that they will have to pay more for their delay. Texas lias plenty of cheap range and mote grazing territory thau her home herds can utilize, and a re tention within her own borders of ail her breeding cattle cannot prove hurt ful. Feeding Pigs.
