Oh, he was a Bowery bootblack bold.
And hia years they numbered nine;
Rouh and unpolished was he, albeit
He constantly aimed to shine.
As proud as a king on a box he sat,
Munching; an apple red.
While the boys of his set looked wistfully on,
And "Give us a bite!" they said.
But the bootblack smiled a lordly smile;
"No free bites here!" he cried.
Then the boys they sadly walked away,
Save one who stood at his side.
"Bill, give us the core," he whispered low.
That bootblack smiled once more,
And a mischevious dimple grew in his cheek
"There ain't goin' to be no core!"

The Com Crop.
It appears that we are not only to
have a great" wheal crop, but a great
corn crop aa well. The Com
mercial Price Current has the fol
lowing: "Throughout a large part of the
corn producing sections the weather
has been favorable in the recent
past, an'l there has been a steady
and gratifying improvement in the
condition and prospect of the crop,
and in a general way the outlook
may now be considered flattering,
the only apprehension of significance
being in reference to the possibility
of damaging frosts in September in
the northern portion of the corn dis
tricts. The crop is generally 10 to
15 days later in growth than a year
ago in most sections, and. would be
seriously injured by early hard
frost. The late
ness and drawbacks of the planting
season awakened considerable of
apprehension in regard to the crop,
especially so in view of the shortage
last year and the depletion of stocks
and reserves in the country. But
that the possibilities, and even prob
abilities of i he season, now favor a
crop of 50 per cent, greater propor
tions than that of 1881, and greater
than the yield of any previeus year,
must ne plain to any one that will
carefully peruse and analyze the in
formation herewith given
The Census returns show the corn
crop of 1S79 to have been 1,155,000,
000 bushelw, and the Agricultural
Bureau reports have shown 1,717,
000,000 bushels for 18S0, and a re
duction to 1,195,000,000 bushels for
1881. The special reports furnished
to the Cincinnati Price Current for
12 of the prominent corn producing
RtateH, indicate a total of 1,295,000,
000 bushels for these states, agains1
890,000,000 in 1881, 1,278,000,000 in
1880 and 1,399.000,000 in 1879.
Estimates from reliable sources for
other sections of the country bring
the prospective crop tor 1882 up to
an aggregate of 1,800,000,000 bushels.
: ducted at the west. It is only there
that extensive ranges can be had for
grrat herds. But the fear of Indians
and the ignorance of the Eastern
people of the profits arising from
stock raising have prevented many
from going into the business. There
is no longer any serious fear of In
dian outbreaks except in Arizona,
and the railroads stretching through
the territories offer every facility for
the transportation of cattle to mar
ket. The business of stock raising
is carried on by comparatively few
people, who do not desire to see it
extended. The stories of dangers to
be encountered originate with them.
It costs them a mere trifle to raise
cattle, and the returns are so large
that they are doing- all that lie in
their power to prevent competition.
The cattle run out all winter, and no
shelter or food is required for them
except that which nature provides.
In conclusion, the writer says that
there are cattle enough at this time
to meet at reasonable rates the needs
of consumers, and that prices have
been driven up by a combination of
speculators. The retail dealers and
butchers, of course, are no moie re
sponsible for the high prices than
the consumers. They must pay
what thp speculators demand or stop
their business. New York Shipping

Tie Cattle Trade.
The price of beef cattle, though
somewhat lower than it has been for
some months, is still relatively high,
and like" y to so continue for an in
definite period. A well-informed
correspondent, writing from Mon
tana, states that the present supply
'n the chief cattle ranges of the West
is ample, bnt that it does not increase
in proportion to the increase of pop
ulation and the European demand
"The beef famine," he says, "is mere
ly a panic and will soon be over; but
it is a warning of what may really
occur if we do not take pains to raise
more beef." Last year we had in
the whole United States 33,000,000
cattle, 39,000,000 sheep, and 34,000,
000 swine.
This is regarded by the writer as
inadequate to the demand of 50.000,
000 people, increasing at the rate of
a million a year from natural causes
and by the addition of another mil
lion from foreign emigration. Mak
ing allowance for the consumption
of mutton and pork, he says: "We
are raising beef for 40,000,000 of peo
ple, whereas we should be raising
beef for 80,000,000, in view of the
steadily progressive increase of popu
lation and the European demand,
bearing in mind that 976,480 cattle
were shipped to Europe in 1881.
Our ability to raise cattle to an al
most indefinite extent is demonstra
ted by the official surveys. They
show that the whole United States
contains 3,003,884 square miles, ot
which 1,500,000 square miles are
set down as grazing lands.
The grazing lands on the Platte,
Powder and Tongue rivers alone
amount to over 12,000,000 acres ot
the very best. The business of stock
raising must, of necessity, be con-

The San Francisco Jbitrnal of

thority, gives the wheat yield of the
United States, for 1832, as follows:
Ohio 40,500,000

Indiana 46,000,000
Kentucky 16.000,000

This is about fifty million bushels
less than the estimate of the 'Now
York Commercial Bulletin; but our
authority does not give it. as1 final
and promises a further review when
the results of threshing throughout
the country are known.
The figures for California and
those for Oregon and Washington
Territory, are those of the S. F.
Journal of Commerce, with the odd
hundred of thousands of bushels left
off. They show California as the
banner wheat State of the Union, a
fact put forward months ago by this
journal. It is true that Illinois ap
pears in the table for 51,500,000
bushels, or a million and a half more
than California; but this is an excep
tional year for Illinois, and only a
moderate one for California. Had
every acre planted in this state yield
ed as it did in 1880, we would have
had this year 56,000,000 buhels,
while California, in 1880, produced
four million bushels more than Illi
nois has done this year.
Even with the season against Cal
ifornia, she has done better than any
other state outside of Illinois; has
produced one fourth more than all
the Middle states, New York, Penn
sylvania etc.; indeed, exceeds the
whole yield of the Southern states
by a million bushels, and produces
nearly forty times the yield, of all
New England.
All this shows the great and grow
ing importance of California as a
wheat producing state.
Fattening and Care of Cattle.
Prot. Brown, of the Ontario Agri
cultural College, has recently put
himself on record in regard to cattle
raising. Some of his points or sug
gestions are open to criticism, al
thongh nearly all of his deductions
will meet the approval of the ma
jority of breeders. The Professor
says the purpose of cattle fattening
is:
1. To obtain the largest quantity
of the best quality of beef at the
least cost under 3 years of age.
2. To aim at breeding, raising,
jmd fattening one cattle beast from
every ten cultivated acres of the
province. v
3. To grow all the food required
for these purposes within ourselves.
4. The tinimafs to weigh alive not
less than 1,500 pounds each.
5. The net cost of production, giv
ing credit for manure, not to exceed
five cents per pound, live weight.
6. To obtain one ton of manure per
month from each cattle beast over
2 years old when stabled to finish
the fattening process.
7. The value ol such manure, un
der the best management, to be
made worth $2 50 per ton.
In any class it is desirable to have:
8. Purity of sire.
9. A certain age and sex.
10. A quiet disposition.
11. Quality as indicated by fine
head and ears fine bone, horn, tail,
and a medium thick skin, having
plenty'of fine, soft, silky hair, with
mellowness.
12. A weight carrying frame.
13. Such a breed as will mature,
or premature, from 2 to 3 years of
age.
14. Having the charter of doing
best upon Ontario pastures.
15. Giving the best quality of flesh
with least offal.
17. Sure breeders and good nurses.
17. The Shorthorn grade is best
for weight, early maturity and stall
feeding.
18. The Heroferd grade is best for
hardiness and grazing disposition.
19. The Aberdeen Poll grade is the
best for an even average of all re
quirements. 20. The Galloway grade ' is the
best for extreme hardiness and qualr
ity of flesh.
21. The Devon grade is the best
for nursing and sure breeding.
The use of the food of fattening
cattle is to
22. Keep up animal hea of life.
23. Repair the waste.
24. Increase growth,.
25. Produce flesh and fat.
Its value is affected by
26. The particular bieed.
27. Age of the animal.
28. Individual character.
29. Conditions of life, such as tem
pe ratiire.
30. Management.
33. Chemically we can calculate
upon getting ona pound of flesh from !
any food that has ten part of dry
substances in its composition; thus
100 pounds of Swede turnips, having
as much as ninety parts of water,
will only give the pound of flesh,
while 100 pounds of corn, having
only thirteen parts of water, will
give ten pounds of flesh.
40. From birth to the time a cattle
beast is ripe the daily rate of increase
on an average should not be less
than one and one-half pounds; thus,
a 3-year-dld should? iveigh 1000
pounds; a 21-2-year-old 1,360; and
a 2-year-old 1,100 pounds alive.
41. But, in fact, the daily rate of
increase is more up to 2 years than
at any time afterwards. A 2-year-old
well done to will weigh 1,400,
if carried on to 3 years will not scale
less than 1,800 pounds.
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Utilizing Stalk Bread. Thin
slices of bread dipped in tomato
sauce, and then fried in butter until
they are brown, take the place of
an omlet. This is a good way to
utilize stale bread.
Gingerbread. Good plain gin
gerbread is made of two pounds of
flour, half a pound of butter, half a
pound of sugar, two tablespoonfuls
each of cinnamon and ginger, one
pint of molasses, a teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in a half a cup of
sweet milk; if yon have sour milk,
use that, and add half a teaspoonful
more of the soda; bake in very thin
layers; mark each layer with a fork
in lines an inch apart. The oven
should be hot when the gingerbread
is put in.
Potatoes ala Ductiessk. These
are now the most fashionable, and if
a really good potato is capable of
being improved, perhaps this is the
best method. Take cold, well-seasoned
mashed potatoes, roll out and
form into little biscuit-shaped cakes
(a little flour may be used to form
them, but do not mix flour with the
potato); arrange cakes on a pie-plate
glaze them over with beaten egg?,
and bake to a delicate brown.
Lemon Shortcake. Lemon short'
cake requires a rich and very
crust; it must hot be too thick, either;
when baked; cut it open and spread
butter on the upper and under pSrtsj
then pnt in a filling made of the rind,
juice and pulp of two lemons, oner
heaping cup of sugar, snrS one cup of
cream; if you eatittft procure cremrt
make a filling as for lemon jelly cake
with water thickened with corn!
starch in place of cream; cook in a
basin set in a pan of boiling wnterr
Grape Jelly. Jelly made front
unripe grapes, just before they
change from green to purple, is "very
delicate. Wash the grapes, after
picking them from the stems, Jn sev-
eral waters, then pitt them in a porce
lain kettle; wash them before putting'
them on the stove, as then you wilt
not need to put arty water with them
and of course the less water the less
time it will take to boi! the juice.
Pnt the grapes when sufficiently
cooked in a bag made of firm flannel;,
add let the juice drain out without
squeezing if possible.
Lamb Chops are excellent cooked
in this way: Pnt them in a frying
pan, with very little water, so little
that it will boil away by the time"
the meat is tender; then put iu lumps
of butter with the neaf . and let it
brown Blowly; there will be a brow.,,
crisp surface, with a line flavor.
Serve for breakfast with potatoes?
cooked thus: Choose smalPones, and
let them boil till they are tender;'
drain off the water, and pour over
them, while still in the kettle, at least
one teacupful of cream; mash them
smooth in this.
Souffle of Different Fruits.
With fruits of a soft and juicy na
ture, such as peaches, apricots, plums,
bananas, etc., proceed in this manner:
Remove the kernels and press tho
fruit through a sieve; put wha you
have thus obtiined in a bowl, adding
one-half a pound of powdered sngar
and the whites of three eggs; beat
well, and add a little kirschwasser
or maraschino as flavoring. Then
take the whites of six or seven egg
and beat them into a Stiff froth. Mix
well together, put this on a dish in si
well-heated oven for four or six
minutes before serving. Sprinkle
powdered sugar on top.
Peach Pyramid. Cut n dozen
peaches in halves, peel and take out
stones, crack half the seeds, and
blanch the kernels; maltc a clear boil

Tonato Soup. Always use cold
water in making all soup; skim well,
especially during the first hour. There
is great necessity for thorough skim
ming, and to help the scum rise,
pour in a little cold water now and
then, and as the soup reaches the
boiling point, skim it off. Use salt
at first sparingly, and season with
salt and pepper;allow one quart of
soup to three or four persons. For
tomato soup allow one gallon ot stock
made from nice fresh beef to three
quarts of fresh tomatoes; remove tho
skin and cut out the hard center; put
through a fine sieve- and add to the
stock; make a paste of butter and
flour, and when the stock begins to
boil, stir in half a teacup of the paste,
taking care not to have it lumpy;
boil twenty minntes, seasoning with
salt and pepper to taste. Two
quarts of the canned tomatoes will
answer.
The first sign of anything wron;
in a cow is the failing in milk, a re
fusal to feed, standing apart front
other cattle in tbe field; the feces
becomes hard and dry, emaciation
follows, vhe animal passes bloody
urine, and in a very few days death
ensues. By post mortem we find
enlarged spleen and liver, with cists
and abcesses, frequently, and the
liver having a peculiar yellow or
brownish appearance. In a number
of cattle that we examined we found
the same appearance generally. The
flesh takes on a black, yellowish ap
pearance, caused by an excess of the
coloring matter of the gall, and in
every case becoming putrid in a
short time as the result of conges
tion. This is Texas fever.
