We are satisfi ad that the United
States has never hadjietter. material
prospects than it lias this year, says
t';e S;in Francisco Journal of Com
merce. Every dispatch that comes
from the East speaks in better terms
of both wheat and corn crops. The
former will, it is now thought, reach
500,000,000 bushels, which is 20,000,
000 bushels more than was produced
in 1880; while the corn crop iias been
so benefitted by the recent rains,
that one thousand, three hundred
million bushels is given as the prob
able outcome. This-, though not so
much as the great year of 1880, is
about 200,000,000 bushels, or twenty
per cent, more than last year. Other
crops, contrary to expectation, are
t luning out finely too, and it j,seems
as if nature was resolved to be more
than usually favorable to the people
of tne Union this year. We will
have cheap bread, cheap meat, and
though some people do not appreci
ate, cheaper whisky than it seemed
that we would have, for corn in
abundance means cheap pork and
cheap spirits.
The great strike about closing, in
itself was an indication of prosperity
in industrial pursuits, for people do
not strike when work is scarce, labor
abundant and demand light.
The great crops are calling foH
more and more transportation facili
ties, and new lines of railroad are be
ing built with unprecedented rapid
ity. It is thought that fully ten
thousand miles will have been con
structed by Jan. 1, 1883. Such a
number ot miles of road were never
built in any year, or in any country
before.
Immigration'seems turning to our
shores still with ceaseless stream,
and doubtless, a million woikers of
the btst blood ot Europe will have
been added to our working forces ere
another fiscal year has passed by.
The prairie is being changed to
cultivated fields every year by this
vast army of industry; the growth
of cities and towns iromoted, whil.i
the great heart of the nation beas
with stronger throbs and its pulses
play more vigorously day by day.
The horn of plenty has been poured
out over the land; industry is active;
food will be cheap, and wages good,
while commerce will flourish more
than ever.
procured trom the woods; but it
twines its woody stems so closely
around the trunks of trees, it is not
easily separated from them. It
glossy leaves, sometimes variegated
with cream color, are very handsome,
and although its flowers are very
inconspicuous, its brilliant berries
are ornamental in the autumn and
winter, and they are much sought
for Christmas decorations. The vine
will bear any situation, and grow iu
grace and beauty.
The Chinese wistaria is doubtless
well known to all our readers, and
there is a native wistaria now found
in West Virginia and farther south,
wh en climbs high upon the trees and
forms a beautiful vine, as its foliage
is very handsome, its leaves being
pinnate in shape, with nine to fifteen
small leaflets: The flowers appear in
May and June, and are of a delicate
snaue oi mac ana parole, with a
slight fragrance. Another variety
has pure while flowers in long ra
cemes like those of the Chinese
wistaria.
For a rapid growing, deciduous
vine, the Virginia creeper or wood
bine is the most desirable, as it re
quires no railing or tying, and it will
cover the side of a house in a few
years. It fastens itself to the wall
by means ot tendrils, and when grow
ing upon a smooth surface the tip of
the tendril will expand into a tiny
sucker and adhere closely to'the wall.
In the autumn its dark green, five
lobed leaves turn into bright shades
of crimson and scarlet, making it
very ornamental.

Climbing Vines.
It is often a matter of surprise
when traveling through the country,
the utter indifference shown by the
majority of farmers to the matter of
beautifying their homes and sur
roundings, when by a small outlay
of lime and money, ihe unsightly
out-buildins, weather-worn and
discolored, might be made, if not
things of beauty and joys forever, at
least temporarily to fulfil that mis
sion. We print this week from the
Springfield Republican a description
of a lew climbers, which cannot fail
to interest and instruct any who may
need it:
The clematis, or ."traveler's joy,"
is a very pretty vine for cultivation
where one wishes to shade porches
or piazzas, or to cover a trellis work.
It is not particular as to its food, and
though it delights in a rich, moi st
soil, and will flourish luxuriantly
when planted at the outlet of a sink
spout or drain, yet it will climb fif
teen or twenty feet in it sunny, ex
posed situation. I have one grow
ing over my porch which dies nearly
to i he ground every winter, but
spnnga up in good season to make
excellent growth every summer, and
in August it is completely covered
with clusters of creamy white, fra
grant flowers which contrast with its
rich, dark foliage. Cultivation, how
ever, seems to rob the clematis of the
tufts of feathery seeds with w,hieli
the vines are covered in the wild
state. The clematis grows plenti
fully along the tenses and roadsides
of New England, and the vines
transplant easily when they are a
foot or two in height, if they are
planted at nightfall.
The bittersweet is a shrubby vine
that covers small trees in the forests.
As it grows readily from seeds, it can
be raised from the orange-crimson
berries of last season, or roots' can be
Agricultural Lands in Arizona.
The Tombstone Republican claims
that most erroneous and damaging
impressions exist abroad in relation
to tne agricultural ana grazing ca
pacity of the southern and eastern
portions of Arizona. Men who have
read of the Gila and Mohave deserts
naturally conclude that those arid
plains constitute a large portion of
the whole Territory. Nothing, says
the Republican, could be wider ol
the mark than such a conclusion
Willie there are tracks ot large ex
tent covered with oacti and prickly
brush and insufficiently watered
there are other tracks infinitely lar
ger that are free from all such ob
structions, and covered with a thick
growth of rich, nutritious, perennial
grasses, with either flowing water,
springs or subterranean water .at
from 6 to 50 ft. from the surface.
Even much of the brush land is well
grassed, with water easily accessible
to stock. No'anly is such the case
for nearly the whole length of the
San Pedro river. There are in Coc
hise county three large valleys, which
cover an area of several millions ot
acres of as fine grazing and agricul
tural land hs can be found in almost
any country. These are the San
Pedro Sulphur Springs and San
Simon valleys. Independent of these
valleys, there are immense tracts of
level or gently undulating mesa that
skirts the base of the various ranges
of mountains in this country, that
constitute vast natural pastures and
meadows, and which, by the intro
duction of water fof irrigation, are
susceptible of the highest state of,
cultivation and productiveness.
That broad belt along the eastern
slope of the Huachucas, which ex
tends in unbroken continuity for the
whole length of the range, a distance
of 25 or 30 miles, is an example of
this sort ot land. Mowers were run
over hundreds of acres of it last year
and hundreds of tons ot hay put up
for winter use.
STOCK DEPARTMENT,
Oats to Feed Pigs. The value
of oats as food for young pigs from
the time they first begin to eit un
til winter, and even after, is not duly
appreciated by many western far
mers ho adhere strictly to a corn
diet, upon the presumption that iu
ordinary limes corn is the cheaper
feed. The truth is, for the best de
velopment of the pig in all its ap
pointments, corn is the most unsuit
able feed that can be given it.
While it is the best known for fat
tening, after the animal is sufficient
ly developed in frame for this pro
cess to be carried on, it is the one
grain that is the most deficient in
natural elements for building up
that frame ready to receive the flesh
that is grown, while ot all the grains
which flourish in our usual hot and
arid summers, oats are best adapted
to the wants of the incipient porker.
Charcoal for Pi gs. Give char
coal to pigs occasionally; they eat it
greedily, and it would be well to sift
wood ashes to get charcoal for that
purpose. Ashes on so many farms
are leached for lye, and then spread
upon land from which pigs are ex
cluded, that swine seldom get char
coal. Both charcoal and ashes are
antidotes for fermentation in the sto
mach, and are specially beneficial
and important while pigs are grow
ing or being fattened.
For Cows on Clover. Give-
them good, dry feed before turning
then on the clover; then the clover
will not hurt them; or should they
swell give each cow one thimbleful
of gunpowder mixed in half a tea
spoonful of melted lard. If necessary
repeat the same. Cincinnati Ga
zette. Cotton-seed Meai. for Cattle
The American Dairy Association
reports that one bushel of cotton
seed meal will produce as much milk
as two bushels of any other lood yet
tried. The department of Agricul
ture at Washington City, bears tes
timony that it is one of the most val
uable of all kinds of food for cattle
and that the meal in consequence
of having been separated from the
hulls, cooked, and the oil pressed
from it is more than twice the value
of t!:e whole raw seed as a stock
food.
Breeding ine "stock. A man
who onue gets thoroughly into the
work of breeding fine slock is sel
dom willing lo abandon it for some
other pursuit, no matter how lucra
tive the new venture may be. The
field it offers for the study of scien
tific physiology, the possibilities of
combination and development, and
the broad opportunities for experi
ment, are afforded iw no other busi
ness. There is a fascination in the
production of fine stock which no
other industry can claim.
Cayenne Pepper as a Preven
tative. A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman, has found cay
enne pepper an effectual preventative
against cows sucking themselves.
After milking (both morning and
uight, if necessary), make a paste of
the pepper with a little milk, and
put it on (over the whole teat,- at
Wist), and it will remain until the
next milking. Iess and less will
answer, after a few days, and the
cow will discontinue the habit per
haps only temporarily at first, but if
she relapses the application can be
renewed until a complete cure is affec
ted. HP: -
Slaking Vinegar.
In a large orchard, the best use to
make of wind-falls, is to convert
them into vinegar. We know an
orchardist in a Western State, who
makes a large share of his crop into
vinegar; he finds it to his profit to
look after the wind-falls. He keeps
a portable or hand-mill for the pur
pose, and by collecting, grinding,
and pressing the fallen fruit, adds
materially to his vinegar crop in the
course of the season. He does not
mention tbefact to those who bay
his Vinegar, but,- tells its that this
practice goes far to keep (be Cod

Cattle" For Beef or Dairy.
For milk for making butter there.are
individual Shorthorn cows which

Jersey or Guernsey; fof quantity of
milk, there are families whichjlqual
the boasted Holstem at 0b same
time the qnaritity is not inferior to
that of Ayrshire for bothcheese and

profit and advantage of the Short
horn cow over olherSj that when
given op for the dairy and dried off
she fattens most rapidly and econom
ically of any. and her beef turns Out
of superior quality.
Shor'.horn steers mature earlier
than those of other breeds; they grow
the largest size, and when elaught-
ered not the most prime meat tor the,
food consumed in rearing od fat
tening them; and I have yet to leard
what cattle may excel in the parr
ticulars. United, then, to the above
merits, possessing the grandest and
handsomest of forms, and a mixture
of the brightest and most beautiful
of colors, it is not to be wondered
that they have become so popular
and take precedence at the highest;
prices. In crossing on native cbwV
no breed equals them in making so'
improved a class of stock either fof
beef or an increased quantity of milk;
Next to Ihe Shorthorn in size, and
nearly as early to mature afid profit
able in rearing, and for beef of as
good a quality, Come the HefefOrds:
The Hereford cows are rarely great
milkers; but being of a rich quality,
it is usually found sufficient to raise
their calves well till old enough to"
be weaned, and then able to get si
good living from pasture. While on
grass alone, Hereford steers are said
to fatten more rapidly than, diner'
cattle under the same circumstances,
and for this purpose, solely of feeding
are, perhaps, to be preferred. The
bu!l makes an excellent Cross' On na
tive cows, especially those running
wild on the great western5 plains.
The Devon, for beef and milk, is"
like the Hereford, but much finer
and more blood-like in all points,'
and not so large Usually by one
fourth to one-fifth. This last is art
advantage when placed on short
pastures, or on rough and hilly
ground. Here, being the most active
of all cattle, he thrives mere rapidly
than they are able to do. Being of
a quicker pace also, they make the"
best of working oxen, and for this
purpose are not inferior to the horse.-
Their pure, bright red color, and
long lofty horns give them a fine,
airy, upheaded appearance in the'
yoke, and make them 'greatly ad
mired. Like the thoroughbred
horse, they are superior in bone, mus
cle and action. No cattle are more
hardy or thrifty, and the Shorthorn
alone matures any earlier. The beef
of the Devou is first in quality, either
slaughtered as a young steer or .fat
tened after working in the yoke to
seven years of age or more. Some
of their families are great milkers,-
others very rich in quality. A. B.

American Pork in France. Ad
American physician in Paris Writes
the Chicago Times an") interesting'
letter on the pork situation' there.
At a scientific discussion Prof. Wurtzy
an eminent chemist, and member off
the Senate, presented a report rela
tive to American pork and trichina.
He recommended warmly the impor
tation of American pork, stfbjec'iih'g'
t only to certain tests of general ap-
pearance,Jodor and firmness, claim
ing that the French cooking and an
efficient salting was as absolute a
guarantee as could be. obtained for
any article ot diet; that the Ameri
can pork was less subject to' trichina
than the indigenous variety, and
that if the Government undertook
the microscopical inspection of meats"
for the safety of the people it wa
quite as obligatory to institute also
an examination of the home article;
The lecturer, M. Gibier, who hr

mitted that large hams, even during
prolonged boiling, do not or may not
in the center acquire a temperature
sufficiently high to destroy the para
site, but that it has lately been dis
covered that trichina are mOre easi-"

cold, and that when subjected to thia
influence they become perfectly barmy

One of his tests was as followsr
