Jas. A. Jackson, Council Bluffe, and Capt. Pegram, St. Louis, disposed of tbeir herd of abont 6,6*0*0 head of cattle and received f 140,000. A small early maturing hog is much more valuable than a large one, as no more food will be required to raise two good quick-growing ones than it will for a large but slow all-lard hog. Statistics recently published ahow tbat of 243,681 animals shipped to England from the United States and Canada during the twelve months' ending last February, no less than 10,163 were lost, Mb. It, C Cobwihb, stock artist, has sent us a photograph of a drawing made by him of Mr. A. C. Flak, Maple Park, Cold Water, Mich., and hia superb stallion, Masterlode, or Eambeltonian Star. The drawing ia as fine as any of the kind we have aeen, and proves Mr. Corwlne to be one of the best artists of hia class in the country. sm Thk stock shipments from the West are Just beginning to the Chicago market. The cattle have been held back on account of the extremely hot weather. They, are now in excellent condition, much better than last year, it is expected that the stock shipments this year will run up to 10,000 cars over the Union Pacific, which will be more than last year. ZZ Normandy Horses Imported. . A train of twenty-one cars, containing Normandy horses direct from Frano»,pass- ed through.the city on Tuesday, 16lh. Their destination was Dillon's stock-farm, Bloomington, 111. The horses wereln good condition, taking into consideration their : long ride. The I., B. and W. road took tbe train from this point as a special, expecting to reach Bloomington in six hours Mr. Dillion being in baste to get his valuable cargo landed. These horses are the large, powerful draught horses seldom seen in this oountry except at State fairs. Tbey are in oommon use in Paris, and are rapidly being lntroduoe into this country. . ■» m Big Flooks. Statistics published by the Colonies and India give some idea of the great amount of work entailed by the ownership of a quarter of a million of aheep, the proprietors ln tbls case being Messrs. Edols, at one of their stations, Burrawang, near Forbes, New South Wales. The shearing laat November and December afforded employment lor 101 shearers, 50 "roustabouts," and 20 musterers, at an expense of saj f 10,- 000. The yield was a wonderfully good one, averaging nearly five pounds per head, lambs Included. The gross weight, estimate d at 1,180,804 ponnds was made up into 2,811 bales, snd hauled to the railroad on 150 wagons, and tbey must have been large wagons as tbey are spelled with two it's. The total value of the clip waa reckoned at ^300,000. Sheep Husbandry West. A correspondent writing from Ooloiado sheep grazing regions says: "Alfalfa baa proven to the Colorado ranchman tbat more sheep can be kept on a given area ot land tban was ever dreamed ot by tbe most enthusiastic ranchman of the plains. This plan may be considered by some aa visionary and Impracticable. It is the only way te meet the continual emergencies now arising in Texas, Colorado, and many other sections now suffering from lack of sufficient feed and shelter; these two are the only locking essentials of the Texas—Missouri country, and they have to be met somehow. Thousands of sheep will be driven next fall to cheap corn in Kansas and Missouri for wintering, snd back again to summer pasturage in otber states. Large capitalists are preparing cattle ranches upon a more secure method for future handling. With sheep lt ls more Imperative, practical, and cheaply done. This will necessitate the owning of the lands and establishing of homes, where comforts and culture may surround the owners or attendants ol the flocks. It ls the right way, and the sooner adopted by the wool-growers of the South and West the better. It has been evident to observers that flocks and herds have had to go further out, year by year, to find pasturage. Some ranges are left as untenable, but subdued and ready for fencing and tame grasses, that, with another system of handling, would support more and better Improved flocks than the wild grasses ever did." a ■» *. Lean and Fat Fork. A recent English writer Insists that the ooarest Berkshire that can be found, If well fed and nursed for three months and allowed to develop muscle in a pasture or straw yard, as the season suits, and then properly fed, may be brought to a weight of 160 pounds in eight or nine months, and in such pigs both lean and fat will be of the finest quality and when properly cured command the top of the market. It is claimed that to-day the highest prices paid in London are for long-nosed Irish pigs of the coarsest quality an Judged by popular sbowyard standards. There are curious facts stated ln illustration of this point. A noted breeder sent to the Royal Agricultural Society's exhibition two old boars, one of tbe fashionable type, the other a specimen of the pore old Berkshire stock. Tbe former took tbe premium, of course, and the owner straightway sold him and bred from the other for commercial purposes. The most famous caterers of Landon do not buy prize pigs or of their stock. The fancy bacon curers also avoid the dumpy and excessively fat and fashionable style. A visitor examining the Smith- field Club awards with a member of a popular firm of bacon curers, said: "Now we will take you to a prize pig worth considering." Arriving there the man of bacon opened his note book and read. "The worst pig in the show." His -companion displayed his own notes and recited; "The worst pig ln the hall." It was an animal that would have delighted tbe premium givers of many a ahow of the moat highly "improved" pigs ln this oountry. Improved "within an inch of their Uvea!" a — » _ Foiled Cattle. Mr. W. S. Miller contributes to the Live Stock Journal his views respecting this breed of cattle now ooming into favor in many localities: "About ten yean ago I bought several ot the best red native polled cows I oould find, and bred them to a Short-horn bull. Their descendants I have been breeding to thoroughbred bull', and bave now a herd of red polled cattle, some of wbich have all the points of the finest bred Short-horns, (1 ) I have been watching and learning all I could about the polled cattle of England and Scotland, and I think the black breeds, though they L\m t "wo*, ( Imports* Clydesdale) Horae.. Owned by fowrll Broa., Kpilngboro, Fa. have proved to be hardy, good feeders, and have won some of the highest pilzes ln ln stock shows, will never become popular ln tbla country on account of their color. (2.) The Norfolk and Suffolk reds appear to be flne-boned and small, not very profitable as beef cattle, though better for the dairy than tbe black breeds. (3 ) Polled cattle bave many advantages over oattle with horns. They never gore each other or any otber stock, are as iiulet and can be yarded as safely as sbeep, and for winter quarters can be kept together ln a stab without any fastenings; and by keepin^ their stable well littered, a large amount of the best of manure can be made, that does not need to be handled but once, and tbat when lt is hauled to the field. I understand something ot tbe difficulties of attempting to establish a new breed of cattle, and do not expect to accomplish much in tbat direction, but I believe polled cattle are tbe coming cattle of America. (4 ) I have undertaken this for my own pleasure and satisfaction, and am so well pleased with my success, so far, that I am confident that anyone who has had a herd of polled cattle oould not be indued to breed cattle with horns." whites remain the only local names. Large White and Small White breeds, ditto ditto black; are the distinctive names of all the classes except the Berkshires. Nothing has done so much in substitution for unprofitable slow-growing pigs, early mature and well-shaped ones as agricultural ihows, assisted, it must be added, by pig-rearing tquires and pig- investing Yorkshire mechanics. 'Sctennarge Live Stook in England. The London Live Stock Journal notes the phases of live stock at the late Royal Show at Derby as follow.: "The influence of the Royal Society has been rather diffusive than creative. The beef, the mutton, the pork are not better than they were even sixty years ago; but sixty years ago the quantity was small, and the consumption of the best Joints confined to the rich—laborers ate so fresh meat, mechanics very little. The Srxdety's great work has been ln difluslng the principles of selections, by which tbe best tribes in each breed have been created; and by collecting, by competition, the best examples of the best brt eds. "In cattle,the most stiklng feature of this second show at Derby, Is the admitted preponderance of the Sbort-horn; whose superiority as a beef-making animal, wherever sufficient food can be provided in pastures and stalls, ls now undisputed. Aa a beast of draught, ln those countries where oxen are required for tbe plow and tbe wagon, it has many superior*. As a dairy-cow, several tribes are equal, some superior; but in manufacturing, by crosses with otber tribes, beef for the million, lt hsa no equals. Even tbe famous black Polled Scotch oxen, which hold the top plaoe lo tbe London market, are supposed to owe something in their weight tb an occasional cross ot the Short-horn. "The Devons Btand Jnst where they did 40 years ago—exoellent for their own locality —often profitable to feed, seldom to breed, out ol the Hereford district of England, but favorites with rich men, real ornaments to their parka and pleasure grounds, and able to finish by presenting flrst-class beef on the table. The first Earl of Lsloester said, fifty yeara ago, that to breed Devons and pure South-Downs in Norfork would ruin any tenant farmer. "It Is sometimes -complained that the prlzss of the society have led rather to the cultivation of quality, to the sacrifice of weight, in the Devoa classes. The oldest member ofthe Council, Mr. George Turner, of Great Bowley, near Tiverton (he was elected ln 1845), breed quite as good Devons in 1843 as are bred now; but there are a great many more sent to market fat from tbe North Deron hills, their original home, elnoe railways opened up to the breeders tbere the markets of Birmingham, Bristol, an--), above all, London. Before the railway extension they were sold as stores. "The show of Herefords was not large, the site of the show being out of the great green pastures; where thia beef-making ox thrives. As an ox the best specimens cannot be beat; it la as a cross or a cow that the the suVJcct of the Immortal Bakewell's experiments, is now beaten out of the field of trade. His long-wooled sheep on the other hand, shares the triumph of the Sbort-horn, as a general improver of tbe mutton-making tribe. See Bewick's •Quadrupeds," a book no i quire's library should be without, for what farm stock was seventy years ago. The most marked difference ln the cattle classes between 1843 and 1881 is ln those i ffored for the dairy breeds—Jerseys and Guernseys—to which so much attention has, within the lact quarter of a century, been paid. As cattle for the dairy, for private use, as well as where there ls a first-class demand at waterlnp-plaoes, like Brighton, these bold the flrst plaoe. "The recent attention paid to improvements iL" dairying by the Royal Society naturally increases the interests ln these really cream-producing oows of the Channel Islands. Fancy has divided them Into two tribes by their color. If there any practical difference between the grey and yellow trlbesT at any rate, there was a famous show of the greys at Derby; the yellows not so numerous. "In sheep, forty yeara have created one new tribe, In the Oxford-Downs; at least, if not created, have kept it up by careful, constant crosses, and supplied a combination of quantity and quality; also very useful rams. They have conquered classes both ln breeding-stock and tat stock shows. Although only bred within a limited erea by a few well known names, Oxford-Downs may have existed, but certainly were not known to the public in 1S43. "Within the same space of time the improvement and increase in the Bnmber o) breeders of Shorpshlre sheep has been enormous. What they were originally is a much-disputed point, but at present careful selection, with or without crossing, has made the rams one of the most popular for crossing, especially for breeding lambs for market. It bas for many years been admitted that cross-bred sheep are the most profitable to the tenant farmer, whether his flock bq short-wooled or long- wooled, according to his soil, climate and market, and Shrops are a very favorite cross. The South- Downs were out of their district in Derby, and consequently limited ln number. At the 1813 sho w, Jonas Webb the greatest breeder of his day, had already Herefords falls short of the Short-horn—a point mnch disputed forty yeara ago; not in the least now unless by the patriotic Mr. Duckworth. The Sussex are to the butcher big Devons, and the classes for them a concession to modern Improvements. The Long-horns, although they are in their own district, can only be looked upon as curiosities—the beet-makers of the past; Improved, on his Cambridge-shire farm, the size of the Sussex sheep without loosing any of the quality of the best mutton ln the world. The South-Down out of Sussex aud the south coast still remains the gentleman's sheep par excellence, invaluable to cross ether Downs, as well as certain long-wools. For quantity there is nothing like it, and South-Down rams have ln an opposite direction, like Short- hom*, been used to cross for mutton all over Europe. "Leicesters hold their^stereotyped plaoe where Bakewell placed them, and Lincolns retain favor for size and constitution. Other breeds of sheep beyond those named are seldom heard of out of their counties except ln Royal ahows. In Pigs—see again Bewick's pictures— the transformation made by the Society has been a revolution. AU the personal names have disappeared, early maturity accompanied by constitutional activity, are points aimed at and obtained by all breeders of note. We hear no more of Radnor or Prince Albert, or Norfolk or Sussex breeds; Hampshire exists but does not show; Berkshire blacks and Yorkshire This department la edited by Dr. John N.

A recent travelerin Mexico thus describes the ride from "Vera Cruz to the oity of Mexico, over the Mexico and Vera Cruz railroad: "The railroad to Mexico is one of the most remarkable pieces of engineering I have ever seen. It took twenty years to build it, cost 130,000,000, and is 263 miles in length. The mountain portion of the track, about 60 miles, ia carried at a gradient of about 133 feet to tbe mile, until it reaches a height of 8,000 feet above the level of the sea. This ascent, across ravines, over torrents, through tunnels and around curves, winding over itself like a coiled snake, discloses a variety and beauty, a granduer and sublimity, of scenery that surpasses any description I can give you. All the while the mighty Orizaba, nearly three times as high as Mt. "Washington, is in sight. In the courte of this ride the great double engines, each doing twice the work of our heaviest locomotives, take us up the steep grade at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. The climate, as we go up, varies from 100° to 55°, and plantations of oranges, pine-apples, bananas, cocoanuts, coflee, rice, sugar-cane and tobacco display their luxuriant growth on either hand in bewildering profusion. And then the flowers, growing in perfect tangles each side ot the road, orchards in wondrous beauty, oleanders 40 feet high morning glories climbing and completely covering trees Jike the largest elms, so tbat the morning sun lights up a bouquet 50 teet in diameter, whose stem is the tree trunk, and whose colors rival the raiisbow; and in all this fragrant scene art flitting birds of gay plumage. Fairyland could offer no more delightful combination of charms, nor Paradise itself display more beauties to delight the eye." He who is great in his own estimation, is li&e a man standing on a mountain ; all men seem Uttle to him from abov*", and he, Heaven knows, Ioooks little from below.—Shakespeare. Novel Bat Trap. "Before housing my new crop of oorn I built a box in one corner of my barn of thick plank ten inches wide, eight or ten feet long, and made another the same length small enough to slip into it from the outside ofthe barn by cutting a place large enough to insert it. I bored two-inch auger holes in the side of the boxes at intervals so that they would exactly meet when the inside box was slipped to its place. I housed my new crop on it and in a few days I drew out my coxandfoundtherewereratsinit. Istop- ped the auger holes and carried it out in the field and called a old negro man to help me kill them. I got a stick, set the box on an end, opened the bottom hole and at it we went, and when we got through we counted up and had thirty-five grown rats. So I returned the box to its place and continued my operatiocs until I had effectually thm- ned out the rat crop." You see they would always flnd the box under the corn and adept it as a denning place. Cor. American Farmer. I : II
