Teace o BLooDED STOCK.—The stk brdeders of the United States and England have managed to sell shert-borms and other cattle at enoramous prices. A few years ago a shorthorn ogw sold for $40,000; and reﬁs eme brought at auction $27,000! Tiis, deciaves an exchange, is no test of Their real value, as the purchasers «ouid not, T think, be said to be compos wetis. “The intrinsic value of a first : sherthorn cow or bull is not wowver [sloo. They are fine for beef, wmd eccasionally a cow of this breed sives from 20 to 25 quarts of milk a

‘e tismes their value. Atisome of the pesiliry fairs, last season, | trios of certwin weeds| sold for $7B to sBo—two yullets and a-cock! Farmers should muerely Jook on and see the fools part with their money for st‘?}ck at the sove rates; and then look around =nd God grade animals at a fair price

DamylNG A BENEFIT TOLAND.—In mosi seciioms of the coumtry, farms =re muck improved by dairying. Those “hat are Tun down can be made fertile s a dairy of as many cows as can be =yt mpon them. For instance, take the fine dairy district of Central New ¥ork, as Herkimer county, where the plow is but little used on many dairy farms, after becoming in good condition, their owners depending entireIx on their butter and cheese to suppeot their families.; The great quantity of manure made on these farms, szys &4n exchange, enables their proyrietors to heavily fertilize any field thst they desire to plow up, on, which ther grow one or two crops, and Tesead it; and in a few years they have' their! entive farms in splendid condition, and worth double or treble =l they were when the dairy business was commenced upon them. My advice to farmers evel%ywher,e-is, keep =il the cows you can profitably. Not » bwmay at first; but to obtain a Sew inery choice omes, and raise your own daity by degrees. Don’t besradge the original extra expense that superior stock may cost. It may muke you feel that you have made a mistale in paying from $7O to, $lOO abead for a'few cows that give 20 yuarts. of milk a day; but with the Tight ball, you will soon l;léve all’ your mones coming back to you in the splendid young stock that you will saon Lave.

Cmear DrAlNs.—Good drains may i» made, by sinking the ditches three Jeet deep, and one foot wide at the Hoisem, and then filling in with small stomes, packing them in with asmany spenipgs between them as possible, Lt thee m be about a foot deep, Then take grass, straw, or sods, and coyer the stones a few inches thick. s covering will' prefv,eklt the earth Fremm Sliing up and allow:the waterto run between the stones. ‘Another way Is o lay a tier of stones on ‘each sidle of the drain, leaving an open suace between them of three or four mches, then cover with flat stones, if 27 are 10 be had, and then put on il grass turf or straw, and fill up with earth. Such drains, where stomes are abundant, are the cheapest thai can be made, and they last a sreai many years. ‘ln no case should ihe stones or the covering come near&r than 13 or 14 inches of the surface «f the ground, so as not to interfere with plowing, and not afford a harbor for rats and mice. Thedistance apart 1o put the drains must depend on the wondition of the lands as regards

moeisture. Some fields may require them from 35 to 30 feet apart. Anoth«r way, where no stones exist, is to dig the ditches down about two feet, with asurface diameter at the bottom of one foot; and then to go down about eight inches deeper, leaving a shoulder on each side wide enough to hold up a board one foot wide. The lywer section of the ditch should be dug out on a bevel, or angle, 0 as to prevent the earth caving in. After ering with a board, pack a little m straw along the sides; and then §ll up with earth. Hemlock Woards will last a great many years when placed two feet below the surfave of the ground; but pine boards would last much longer. Making drains with tile is more expensive; =nd farmers must choose the method geperally which suits the contents of

Lace ox FowwLs—Lice are the great pest of the poultry house, and are the primary cause of sickness and loss where they infest fowls in large mumbers, unless speedily destroyed. It 3s mot possible to have hens prdfitable when they are covered with vermin, and no man should attempt to kesp pouliry, especially in large mumbers, unless he snfficiently underthe business to keep them free m It is' not enough to take measures to dt:t)y these vermin when fowls and their roosting houses are Mby them; butg means 'should be used to prevent their breeding on the premises. Lice generate in the cracks and crevices of poultry houses; then they -infest the perches, and from the perches they find their ‘way %o the hens; and nothing short of thorough extermination will remove

the evil. The remedies are: first, dont crowd 100 fowls into 4 roosting ‘house large envugh for only 50; give &hem ample space and good ventilaSion, and when they are first put into

the building see that they are free from lice. Mix lard, flour of sulphur and kerosene oil together to the consistency of a soft paste, and rub a little under the fowls” wings, and also on the, tops of their heads. ‘Then dust them all over among their feathers with dry flour of sulphur. . This should be done for several days till all the lice disappear. -To exterminate the lice in a fowl house when badly infested, close the house as tightly as possible, then take an iron kettle, in which burn a few rounds of rosin and sulphur. Or you Hay-sponge the roosts with kerosene éil ;> whitewash every part of the hous€, and sprinkle flour of sulphur in the cracks: connected with the pérches, also the hay or straw in their nests. Provide an ample dusting box under cever, in which place two bushels of ashes mixed with two pounds of flour of sulphur, and if these rules be thoroughly acted on, you will ‘not be troubled with many lice on your fowls. :

i Cure for Sleeplessness. . - Thousands suffér from this weakness who are otherwise in good health. To some of them this becomes a habit, and too often a growing one. Some resort to soporific ‘drugs, and this is how the opium crave is often initiated.i Others find wine or spirits occasion-’ ally effectual, and are thus induced to take alcohol every night, and not a few, it is to be feared, have in this ‘way laid the foundation of intemperance. There have, however, never been wanting people who have found a’way of going to sleep without resort to such measures. -The mesmer--Ists at one time were popular, and from them a host of people learned. that looking at any fixed point steadily would often succeed in inducing sleep. In the dark, however, this is not so easy; but this difficulty was not felt in Braidism, which consisted merely ‘of closing the eyes and trying to think they were watching attentively the stream of . air entering and leaving the nostrils. It was asserted that whoever would will to see this ‘stream as if it were visible would infallibly soon fall asleep.. We have known the plan to succeed, and it is evidently the same in prineciple as fixing the attention on any single visible object. “Angther plan has just reached us, proposed by an American physician, Dr. Cooké, who tells us that in numerous cases of sleeplessness it is only necessary to breathe very slowly and quietly for a few moments to secure a refreshing sleep. He ‘thinks that most eases depend on hyperzmia of the brain, and that in this slow breathing the blood supply is lessened sufficiently to make an impression, Certainly when the mind is uncontrollably " active; and -so preventing. sleep, we have ascertained from patients whose observation was waxth trusting that the breathing was quick and short; and they have found they became more disposed .to sleep by breathing slowly.. This supports Dr. Cooke’s practice, but at other times his plan quite failed. Itis certainly worth anyone’s while who is occasionally sleepless to give it a trial. In doing so they should breathe very quietly,rather deeply and at long intervals; but not long enough to cause the least feeling of uneasiness. In. fine, they should imitate a person sleeping,and do it steadily for, several minutes.—Medical Examineér. \ i

Bureau of Railroad Statistics. Charles. Frances Adams; jr., who has probably given more attention tothe subject of railway management in their relations to the public than any other person in this country, favors the creation of a government bureau of railroad statistics, to include two officers, one an accountant and statistician, and the othera railroad expert and engineer. The first, he says, “should collect and put in shape for reference the vast amount of information connected with the interior commerce of the country, which is nowpractically inaccessible. The last should make a study of all railroad accidents, and himself specially investigate these which present unusual features, or the cause of which is difficult of ascertainment.” Under this arrangement Mr. Adams thinks that the railway management of the country could be rendered much more uniform and satisfactory to the people, while the cause of accidents could, in most cases, be definitely ascertained and their frequency greatly lessened. In Great Britain/during the last year, though twice as many travelers were carried on the railroads as were in this country, only. seventeen' were killed, while at least ten times that number were killed during the same period in the United States.

The New York Sun gives alengthy account of the accident to the roof of the Grand Central Depot about ten days since. By reason of the vast accumulation of snow the supports gave way, and a large section of the great glass roof was broken. IHeavy chunks of ice and millions of pieces of shivered glass, some two or three feet square, othess no larger than a penny, showered through the ‘broken roof and fell to the pavement, railroad tracks, and passengers’ concrete platforms, sixty feet below. Glittering slivers of glass rebounded and fell all over the east side of the depot like a shower of needles. Beneath the rent part .of the roef, which is between 400 and 500 feet long by about five feet wide, the floor of the depot is covered with a heap of broken glass several inches deep. A singular feature of the accident is stated‘to be that in one place a chunk of ice broke a hole through a pane of glass, cutting a perfect profile of Commodore Vanderbilt. The likéness was recognized by many of the railroad employes. It may very safely be stated that the ice and glass would not'have.conspired to have done. this thing had. Commodore’ Vanderbilt been ‘- a poor man. Ice and glass, cold and unfeeling as they are, nevertheless have great respect for millions. : s

Disease Grows Apace, Like an ill wind, and cannot be mastered too early. What is a trifling attack of sickness to-day may, if unattended to, become.a serious case in a week. Smail _ailments should be nipped in the bud bifore they blossom into full-blown maladies. If this advice- were attended to, many a heavy bill for medical attendance might be avoided. When the liver is disorderedxk the stomach foul, the bowels obstruected, or the nerves disturbed, resort should at once be had to that supreme remedy, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a few doses of which will restore healthy action‘and put the sys: tem in perfect order. It is.a ‘wise precaution fo keep this incomparable preventivein the house, since it checks with unrivaled promptitude disorders which breed others far more dangerous, and in their latest developments are themselves often fatal. 41-4 w

The present hard times is made the reason for persons in our State to mermorialize our State ILegislature to ask Congress for the passage of a:bill denating to-any duly qualified citizen of the United States a guarter section of any of the unoccupied lands of the United -States, under proper restrictions, in fee simple, and that the equivalent of six hundred dollars be appropriated to every such person or persons 8o taking land, to enable them to take possession, plant and secure the first ‘crops on said land, and that the money 8o advanced be returned to the United States Treasury without. interest, payable annually in 10 per cent. installments, beginning five yedrs from the dateofloan.

The annual circular of the Mercantile Agency of R. G. Dun & Co. says the business failures in the United States for 1876 were 9,092 against 7,740 in 1875. The total liabilities of these failures were, in 1876, $191,117,786; in 1875, $201,080,353. ; . Some weeks ago a man named Crouch, living near Sackett’s Harbor, N. Y., deserted his wife and child, the latter eighteen months old, leaving them indestitute circumstances. The mother and child suffered great privations, and have been supported by charity since. About two weeks ago Mrs. Crouch gave birth to another child, which she burned.to death in a stove. She has been declared insane.

© Miss Gail Hamilton says gayly that her experience with free passes has been of the most short, slender, and spasmodic kind, but so far as it has extended it hasbeen one of unalloyed delight. “It has always seemed a waste,” she says candidly, “to pay money for going from place to place, because you want all your money to spend when you get there. 1 have never yet refused arailroad pass, and, heaven helping me, I never will!” It.comes quite natural for the republican press to hop onto Mr. P. S. B. Pinchback with such terms of brotherly endearment as “sneak,” “traitor,” “d—d nigger,” “political trickster,” d4nd so on. In a few days Morton. will be ready to swear he never was elected to the United States Senate and didn’t sleep with Morton while at Washington. - There is such a world of difference whether the “colored man and brother” is on your side or not.—South Bend Herald.

- Thirty years ago Texas entered the Union as a State with 142,000 population—white, black and Mexican. Today she has 1,750,000 population. At this rate of ,increase, she would have in thirty years hence half' as many people as are now in the United States, The Territory is 274,000 square miles; larger than“ France, Belginm, Holland, Switzerland and? Portugal combined, and better capable of supporting seventy millions of peoplethan are those countries, for her soil is richer and her climate better.

WE are pleased to see that our Legislature is being aroused to the importance of taking some action in regard to the preservation and propagation of food fishes in Indiana waters, and' that several important bills,- for a State Board of Fish Commissioners, for the enforcement of the laws already on the statute books, for the construction of fish ladders, (this last, by the way, being introduced by Rep-| resentive Leeper of this county,) and other good ‘measures. Indiana is way behind Michigan and some other States in this respect, and the success which has crowned the ' efforts of Fish Commissioners in these other States, although thkeir usefulness is yet in its infancy, is sufficient guarantee of the benefits which may accrue to.our citizens if the proper steps be taken, The successful propagation of the best varieties of game and feed fishes is no longer a theory, but an established fact. We hope our Legislature will see to it that something important will result from these numerous bills introduced.—Mishawaka Enterprise. : i
