THE EVILS OF XKAKSI OKTATIU.
Hew Cattle Are Brnued and Injured In the
Transit from the West.
The St Leuis Railuay Register says :
" The buaicess of raising cattle en the
great plains of the West has grown enor
mously daring the last ten years, yet the
supply of beef for the markets of the East
has net kept pace with the demand. The
price has steadily advanced until this nec
essary article of feed is almost beyond the
means of the poorer classes. There have
been evils connected with the transporta
tion of cattle from the West te the East
which are great and have attracted the
attention of humanitarians and con-
sumers.

te strage noises, braised by sadden halts
and starts, terrified by their proximity
and unusual surroundings, when they
reach their journey's end are sick, lame
and feverish. In this condition they are
slaughtered for feed. The idea of killing
the cattle near the place of their growth
and transporting the dressed meat te mar
ket iu refrigerator cars was a bright one
and has steadily grown in favor. The ad
vantages of the plan are obvious, for it is
open te none of the objections urged
against the old method. It is understood
however, or at least it is claimed, that the
Onus and companies, who have large capi
tal invested in the live stock business,
and the railroads which have provided
cars and yards for its accommodation, are
opposed te an innovation and propeso te
"fight" all attempts te revolutionize the
old way.
Commenting en the abeve the Harris
burg Telearaiili says : " There are reasons
why beef slaughtered iu the West will
never be permitted a monopoly of the
Eastern markets. It would place us at
the mercy of a few gigantic firms or cor cer cor
eorationswho would, when their mono
poly was confirmed by the extirpation of
the Eastern butcher, and the total des
truction of the Eastern ' plants ' engaged
in the business, supply our market with
an inferior article, charge what they
pleased, and be se secure net only against
competition but against our criminal laws,
as te be entirely regardless of censcquen
ccs. It would be the gieatest and most
dangerous monopoly ever established en
this continent. But there are ethor eco
nomical reasons, tee numerous te mention
here, why the dressed beef busi
ness will never de a complete
success. The truth is, the dressed
beef experiment, new in the bands of a
very few men, and supply ing only a sec
ond class article, is only one expression of
the natural pretest against the present
barbarous, cruel and wasteful methods of
live stock transportation, and the conse
quent high price of beef, mutton and perk.
The losses by shrinkage, by death and by
bruising amount te many millions of del
lars in n year's business, and the torments
of the dumb auimals are terrible beyond
belief by these who have never given the
subject attention. Beef brought forward
in this way cannot be reliable ; it is, in
fact, ofteu unlit te be fed te a deg. Be
sides the shameful extortion of the cattle
yards, swindles for ieed, yardage and
handling, a process gene through with
several times bctween Chicago and New
Yerk adds enormously te the value of
the article en the butchers' stalls. It is
quite probable, as the Railway Register
asserts, that the railroads de net intend
the proposed dressed beef monopoly te be
established aud they have seuud reasons
for that determination. But they must
impreve their own methods ; they must
suppress the cattle yards extortion ; they
must abate the sutt'eriugs of the ani
mals ; they must deliver stock lit for
slaughter ; they must save te the .shipper
shrinkage, death and bruising ; aud they
must give the public a rcwouable guaran
tee of seuud meat. This cau be done only
by the iutroductieu of a car iu which cat
teo cau be fed and watered in transit, and
can be carried at any rate of speed with
out being thrown down te be trampled te
death, or hurled against the sides of the
car, te contract buiisss and ulcsrs whore whero
by many pounds of the best portions of
the beef are rendered unfit for use, and
must; be cut from the carcass and cast
away. Sucti cats could ba run through
in euc-tbird the time new required ; they
would se far clca- the tiacks of the reads
for ether business ; they would destroy
the cattle yard swindle ; they would save
in every possible direction ; they would
secure- the dumb beast from suffering ;
and they would give the consumer sound
beef. This is the method of the future. It
is inevitable. It must come, aud the
sooner the railroads get ready for it the
better it will be for all concerned'
FARM HINTS.
Transplanting in ury Weather
(jenn.intewn Telegraph.
This question which has become one of
decided interest, should ba well inquired
into, and when it is once well understood
it will be found te possess far mere im
portance than any ene would at first be be
eove. It has been only a short time when
it was the rule te wait for a rain .before
setting out plants ; aud as seen after
a smart shower as possible all hands would
get te work te de their transplanting ;
and new, these who have posted them
selves well up in the matter, would rather
set out their plants iu dry weather than
after a rain. Net a great many years age
many peeple would wait for certaiu signs
of the moon before sewing their seeds ;
but as we have come te altogether disre
gard such an illusion, we shall equally
disregard the idea that we can transplant
only after a shower, and go right en and
de it at any time, only observing due care.
The way, therefore, people new de who
understand hew things can ba done, is te
go ever the ground where the plants are
te be set, and make the necessary holes
deep down in the soil with a dibble, where
the plants are te grew, and fill these holes
with water. This will seen 'soak away,
leaving the ground in a hulf dry, half wet
condition. The plants te set out are taken
from the seed bed and the roots doused in
a vessel of water, and then only eue by
ene are taken out and put into the holes,
pressed firmly, and the work is done.
They need no mere water, will wilt very
little, and go right en te grew, and far
better than when half a bucket of water is
poured around each plant when set out
and then let alone for a time, at least.
Should dry weather fellow, the plants
must of course be again watered, but nut
in the old way of peuiing around each
plant a gallon, only te run away and de
no service ? A little of the earth is re
moved from the plauts by a bee, se as te
form a sort of basic about it, a moderate
quantity of water is perred into the basin
and in a few minutes, the water having all
soaked away about the roots, the earth is
restored around the plants, and the sur
faces is as before. This prevents the water
from running away, and the sun from
baking the earth, add the wet soil under
neath will be retained, and net mere than
two such waterings will be required te
continue the steady growth of the plants
uuriag any ury speu or even prolonged
drought.
If this hint is taken up and properly
panned, ic will net only save a great deal
of hard labor, but it will insure a geed
and satisfactory crop ; and we suggest
that it be tried the present season by these
wne "iiveieiearn," ana desire te reap
the best harvest from whatever may be
sewn.
The Value or Insectivorous Birds.
Qermantewn Telegraph.
The difference of opinion that formerly
existed as te the usefulness of birds upon
our premises is gradually disappearing, at
least se far as it relates te the value of
most of our birds which subsist upon
insects, some eight months out of the
twelve. There are a few the robin for
instance whieh cauuet in justice be
claimed as insectivorous, neither is it
granivoreus, but lives almost wholly
upon fruit, except in the latter half of the
month of March, when it first arrives, up
te May, during which peried it makes out
badly enough and finds a very precarious
living about the house and from the
angle-werm turned up in the plowed
fields, &c. Still, altogether our insectivo
rous birds are very useful in fact; their
value is almost beyond estimation for if
it were net for the myriads of insects
which these birds destroy, it would be
perfectly useless te try te raise grain or
fruit at all. New, when we leek at these
facts the kind hearted are very apt te
decide that the peer thiugs are entitled te
some of the fruits which, without them,
we could net have at all. But the trouble
is that in many cases they take all the
crop, and under these circumstances one
is net apt te caremuch whether they eat
insects ler the rest of the year or net.
In this conflict of facts the wise man is
he who ignores none, but adapts things
te circumstances. We must have birds,
and they should be encouraged, and te
have fruits we must guard them from
birds who will take mero than their share.
Farmers and gardeneis tell us that in
Europe, where the birds are infinitely
mero numerous than they are here, they
suffer very little from insects. The birds
keep the noxious insects pretty well down,
but when the grain fields are sewn, or the
fruit about te ripen, children are hired
who with clappers walk about the fields,
gardens aud orchards, and by that means
keep the birds away. By thus spending
a triile for a few weeks they have no diffi
culty in having full crops in spite of the
great numbers of feathered tribes. Our
true policy must be a similar ene, te en
courage the birds and protect the crops ;
and the mero we leek into the matter the
mero we will be convinced that such is the
fact.
