It will bo found on examination that
most of tho largo products In husbandry
aro obtained by farmors who aro ncius
tomed to read and think, nud who aro
not only wlso enough to profit by read
ing but who select the best part of their
material fiom books and papera do vol--od
to tholr Interests, and In which
they find recorded tho facts and ox
iporlonco of successful men.
Lot not tho tlllorsor tho soil, (bore
foro, blindly Imaglno that phyolcal
devoloimient alone Is sufllclcnt to Be-
euro iiuixlnium crops and u margin of
profit. Lot thorn boar In mind that a
still higher poworhas its boat In tho
brain, from which physical develop
ment derives all Its value; that tho
silent onergy of thought Is quietly do
Ing Its work over tho continent, from
weok to week and from year to year,
and that this freo, earnest and un-eltlsh
thought, whllo continually achieving
growl results, Is also continually put
ting thorn on record for tho benellt of
all.
Thus It Is that whllo vo discover on
ono handa grand army of thoughtful
workers every whoro Intent on dovel
oplngnownnd original facts awl now
fruits of experience, wo may also llnd
in tho background of tho picture an
other army of workers, who aro also
thinkers of the highest type a count
less army of vigorous awl enterprising
journals, alwayfa ready and eager to
sol.e and appropriate, to expound and
Improve, theso now and va'.uablo re
sults of practical farming, and then to
scatter them broadcast through tho
land to shed light In dark places and
ipour uew fertility Into sterllo soIU.
So cearly and palpably have tho
Journals of this class demonstrated
their valuo that It Is often posslblo
In passing through a rural district,
to discover by no unmistakublo
signs, tho farms nt which such papers
-aro taken and whero they have found
a welcome homo, and It Is easy to see
that In tho pretenco of theso sheets of
useful knowledge, the wholo aspect of
tho farm Is changed awl all tho results
improved. Manures and fertilizers aro
ruoro etllclont, as well as more abun
dant, tho latest and best methods aro
.adopted, n now Impulso is given to
vegetation, the very roots of the crop
striko tkoncr and spread wldor than
before, anil even tlic nicntlows nssumu
a brighter shade of green and llio
corral grains a deeper Hugo of goltl.
And finally, as a crowning evidence of
what N hero claimed for the Inlluonco
of the pret, along with this new vigor
of vegetation aud more abundant yield
we alo llnd n redni'tlon of eot that U
! -'vn ll",lt' Important than all the rest.

Tho timidity shown by some In np
plying a sum so ridiculous as $'J or $0 to
obtain thoprlcclosskunulcdgoon which
depend tho whole valuo and Until pro lit
of their business Is moro than surpris
ing. Tho trilling sums often lavished
without a thought m objects compara
tively of no value, If applied to Mich a
purpose as this would bo Milllclent to
supply n variety of Journals and valu
able books that would at onco create a
new atmosphere of thought In tho
house, ami while (litis rounding nut the
etiiicaiioii oi ino lamiiy, would ais
enlarge tho yield and the prollt of har
vests to come.
Does It not then, farmers, clearly de
volve on you to oncourago and sustain
tho generous elforts ofn press that Is
everywhere working in our Interest
and lighting up our future with the
experience of the past? I know that
many ol you so regartl it. Hut what
shall wo Miy to thoso who excuse them
selves by (lulling fault with tho dofects
of (ho press, aud who allege that, amid
so munv Imperfections, they do not
know what paper (o tako?
To all Hiich, let mo frankly siy that
this Is not a reason, but simply an eva
sion. You do not expect perfection in
anything human; then why oxact it In
tho caso of n farmer's paper? If you
could (lwl an Ideal Journal absolutely
faultless and perfect, it would bo cheap
at $10 a year, whllo tho prosont rango
of prices Is from $1 to S'-J.oO; and it is
safo to say that, taking (hem as wo
now ilntl them, thoro Is hardly ono in
tho wholo number that Is not worth
many times Its cost, If rightly used.
It would bo easy to show that If tho
suggestion of Jlr. Dodgo wero carried
out by doubling tho total product of our
farms, If even ouo-half that Increase
were attained, the result would be suf
ficient to support tho population of tho
globo for an entire year. It will bo an
Immense stride In this direction whom
ever tho farmers of the country shall
rally to sustain, tho pres. which is tho
vory Illo blood of their prosperity, and
glvo to lis circulation such an In
crcaso ns its importance demands.

ed ulno-tonths of tho grangers In

tho social, moral and financial standing
of tho peoplo would bo greatly bone
(It ted by oxtondlng tho right of fran

Women have as high a souse of honor

moro regard for home, which Is tho
foundation of all good government.
Whorever the family is considered tho
most Miered of institutions, wherover
home lllo Is reserved, nud real, not

exists between tho degeneracy of men
In public llfo during tho last twonty
years awl the decay of homo llfo.
That marrlago has becomo year by

ly avoided by tho young men of
America Is ono of tho worst signs of
the times. Women are tho natural
preservers of the family relation tho
high priestesses In tho sacred temple

of the church, tho promoters of educa

CONCERNING SHEEP.
The San Francisco Journal of Com
merce estimates the number of sheep
In tho world to be about GOO.OOO.OOO.
Of these, tho United States has about
JKi.OOO.OOO, and Great Ilrltnln the same
iiumbor.
Tho produce of wool In tho United
3tales, from n very small beginning
enrly In llio present century, has reach
ed about 1100,000,000 pounds of un
secured wool, an average of about four
I ounds to tho llcece, tho yield being
mostly from Merino sheep, of which
tiono at all aro bred in Great Britain.
California produces about ono-fourth of
this quantity, and tho Paclllc slopo al
most one-third. Tho interior of (ho
continent is favorably adapted for sheep
raising of tho Spanish Merinos, that do
not requiro so much care ns the British
long wools.
Not only California, but Oregon nnd
Washington, Now Mexico Arizonn,
Moulaua, Idaho, Wyoming nnd Dako
ta territories aro all well adapted for
sheep, awl nothing hut tho hostility of
cattle herders prevents them from in
creasing very rapidly there.
The total wool clip of tho world in
1877 was estimated at about 1,197,600.-
000 pounds, worth $150,000,000. This
when scoured, would yield about 852,-
000,000 pounds of clean wool. Tho
lleccooftho Merino sheep, the breed
most raised in tho United .States, is of
viuious qualities, according to its locu
tion on tho body of the animals nnd Is
adapted to vory wldelyidlirerent pur
poses. Thoso porsons whoso business
It is to sort out tho various sorts of
wool in a fleece, aro known to tho
trado as staplers. Theso men pull tho
llecco to plocos awl sort it out in tho
following proportions forsovon differ-
out qualltloi of wools! (l.) Super for
coarso flannels, blankots, etc., 1 o..; (2.)
nvey, for coarso army, navy nnd
prison cioth, loz.; (').) gray tegg, for

Sheop-breedlug has decreased very
rapidly In tho Northwest, whllo hogs
have very largely Incroasod. Now
(hut hog cholera Is so prevalent, and
so vory destructive and apparently In-
curauie, wnno mo price or nog pro
ducts havo declined so much that hog
breeding Is now a very projarlous busi
ness, It is likely that sheep will com
mawl moro nttontion than thoy havo
for tho past llfteon years. Every good,
careful farmer should diversify his pro
ducts as fur as they can bo properly
adapted to climate awl soil. Thoro aro
probably very few farms among the
millions north of tho Ohio river nnd
west of Luke Erio that could not profit
ably support a flock of ono hundred or
moro sheep. For locations near cities,
where flesh food Is In demand, tho long
wools will probably bo most profitable.
Ono breeder In Canada has bred Cots
wold wethers weighing considerably
moro than 300 pounds, whllo tho Mer
inos scarcely avorago 80 pounds.
