Wool Balalsis.
Speaking of the capacity ol this country lor the
economical production or wool, In the lace of which
we are large Importers. The New York Indicator
Bays: "England and Wales contain B8,3M square
mile', Ireland 31,874,and Scotland 3JVS5; total, 120-
8 9 square miles. The State of Texas contains 274 3ojS
square miles, and yet Britain and Ireland produce
very neatly as mnch marketable wool as the
whole ol the United States. With a practically unlimited area, any part of which is available
for sheep growing, we yet are large lmportersof foreign wool, over 60,000,Ojsj pounds having been Imported during the last year, as against about 3*»t_00,-
000 the year previous, notwithstanding there Is a
heavy import duty. In view of these facts, Is It not
a II.tie surprising tbat capital does not flow in the
direction of wool growing? The production of wool
seems to haa very Important factor In national Independence; and In other countries, particularly ln
Great Britain, ls considered an essential part of
nearly every person's business. The risks ln sheep
farmiug'are few In immense tracts of land of th's
country, and the business Is attractive from its comparative ireedom irom tbe excessive toil and anxiety consequent upon other agricultural pursuits."
Iul876 the shipments amounted to 22 500, nearly
all dressed carcasses. Iu 1877 the number had
reach ed 60,000, of which number one quarter were
live cattle. In 1878 the shipments were 95 flM, of
which 30.000 were live catt>. In 1679 the number
reacher 10.1,324. of which amount 33,296 were live cattle, and 72,029 dressed carcasses. For 1880, from January up to the first two weeks of August, the shipments were 64.843 live catile, and 53,53,. carcasses of
beef-a total oflls.376.

Secretary Fi-jher of the Illinois department of agriculture, in commenting upon the last State assessment ot sheep, soon t>» appear lu the report of tbe
department, bays:
The interest ln sheep husbaniry has been growing
far Bome years, and the assessments for 1880 show a
larger number of sheep ln this State than in any
year since 1874, and more than in any previous year,
excepting the period Intervening between 1873 and
1874. The ratio of the Increase In the number of
sheep during the past-six years has not been uniform, but the profits of the industry, ot late years,
nave been satisfactory, and the future prospects for
remunerative prices for wool and mutton are such
as to inspire confidence In the future of sheep-breeding. The assessment this sesson shows 961,696 head
of sheep, an Increase otll7.B9> head over that of the
previous year
The proportion of sheep heretofore fatted for market each year, accordiug to previous estimates ot
authorities, is about 20 per cent, of the total number
of sheep assessed, and this rate has been used In determining the num.ber of fal sheep that will be
marketed during the presant year. In 1879 there
were 174,313 head of fat sheep marketed ln this State.
There will be 192,959 fat sheep prepared for market
this season, an Increase of IS 628 over that ofthe previous year.
The Bheep marketed of late are said to be heavier,
ot better quallty,and more profitable -fbr the fecde:*

preferably a "razor-back" type, with bristles and

may not be wise to run to porcine extremes. In

avoid extremes by breeding off the extremities; on
the other, the cultivation or legs may prove a legacy

marked: The one has more ol spirit, the other of

of inertia; the asile type has more of energy and
health, the sedentary hog has possibly more ol scrofula. If the latter ls not fit to eat, the former is fit
for nothing else. The "pig of the period" should not
resemble an exclamation point.

time, pampering and overleedmg to excessive fat,
contravene in equal degree the same economic law,

The extension of "ckolera" is coeval with th's Improvement and overfeeding with corn to the exclusion of grass and the wholesome variety demanded
by this omnivorous animal. Let the breeder have

will prove alike satisfactory to pocket and palate:—

The recent sailing of five ocean steamers laden
with cattle from New. York city in one day, all belonging to or chartered by one firm, caused the New
York Tribune to make special Inquiry with regard
to the present extent ofthe trade and the manner In
which lt is carried on. It appears that, in spite of
the restrictions upon the movement of American
cattle ln England, the exportation of live is superseding that of dressed meat. The shipments last
season were 105,324 head; thus far this year the number ha* been 118,000. Besides these many shiploads
are sent by way of Canada. New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Portland,and Montreal are
the ports of shipment. New York leads; Boston
ships two-thirds as many as New York; Philadelphia and Baltimore rank next, and both exceed
Portland.   The aRgregate  trade,  including sheep,

er that the trade ln live cattle opened about fonr
IbsIIis . Horsea.
To determine the capacity of horses to undergo
the privations Incident to a state ef siege, a series of
experiments were made with these animals in Paris,
some years'ago. The experiments proved (1) that
a horse can hold out for twenty-five days without
any solid nurlshment, provided it is supplied with
sufHcIent and good drinking water. (2) A horse can
barely hold ont for Ave days without water. (3) If a
horse Is well fed for ten days, but Insufficiently provided with watsr throughout the same perlod.lt
will not outlive the elevent***May. One horse, from
which wa'er has been entirely withheld for three
days, drank on the fourth day sixty liters of water
within three minutes.   A horse which received no
years ago. The trade ln dressed beef began in 1875,
and six months later the live cattle trade. The low
freights on live cattle give that branch of the trade
a decided advantage, notwithstanding the restrictions on the other side. Owing to the discrimination
in favor of Canadian cattle, large numbers from the
States are shipped by way ol Montreal. Those go to
the'North of England, and are sent to the southern
districts as Scotch cattle.brlnglng the highest prices.
The same cattle sent from New York or B iston are
not allowed to go out of the receiving depot, and
must be slaughtered within seven days. The exported cattle come principally from Ohio, Kentucky,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado. There are some cattle brought from Texas,
but usually they are not so large or fl ne as tbe others.
They are all slaughtered here and sent to Europe as
dressed beef. Only the largest and finest animals
are sent alive. The live cattle bring here Irom 9>i to
10 cents a pound for good shipments. Different dealers give prices ranging between |75 and |i00 a head.
The selling price on the other side was placed as
high as 15 cents a pound
The trade began experimentally In 1875, and no
record was kept of the number exported. The
growth of the bo a in ess since then l» shown in the
following figures:
