Shelter fob. Stock. Many farmers still
neglect their animals in winter, feeding them
from the stock-yard in the open air. This
practice is not only barbarous, bnt is very ex
pensive. It takes a third more of hay to car
ry a cow through the winter by thi3 method,
and with the best of hay, she will not come
cub in trood condition. Warm stables arc a
eubstitnte for fodder, and an animal sheltered
fn them, is much more easily kept iu higl
flesh. Then, by stabling animals, wo can save
all the manure, which is quite too large an item
lor farmers iu this ago to throw away. Many
who have large farms, and do not wish to build
a barn loTg enough to hold all the hay and
feir&Iiij build several small barns in diflerent
meadows. These save the carting, both of hay
and of manures. In no case "should hay be
foddered out to cattle without some kind of
shelter. A hovel opening to the south can be
made very cheaply, atd with light walls and
thatched roof, it will keep cattle quite comfor
table. They will save the cost of building in
a single winter. Now is the time to put
them up.

riAO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS.
X A FARM WITHINTIIE REACH OF
EVERY MAX.
THE K I DO WAY FARM COMPANY has made ar-
raneemcnts bv which nil who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil of the most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
TLe property is located in Elk County. Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10.0IH). Tho climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the best quality of Coal
ami Iron. The price to buy it out is from S3 to
Z" per acre. pnynMe in instalments, to oe located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 2A acres
entitling to locate the same for :imi, payabln So
rer mouth or acres payable 'f-l per niocth.
Discount for every sum of 'SltHiaud under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed
and for over SloO discount of 10 per cent.
f n considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the following arc presented :
First The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity
Second It is the centre of the great North est
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business place? in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market, (according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in tho Union.) It
has five workable veines of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22.0110 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur-ve3-
W the land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore ami the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Sunbnry and Erie Railroad
gives us a market forourooal to the Lakes it runs
from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of this
road has leen finished, and is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards oar land in the western direction, the means
for the completion of which hag been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the
West. '
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which has already taken place.
There is no opportunity eqnal to it now offered
to tho man who wants to provide himself a home
iu an easy way. and make a settlement where ho
can live iu prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having been known to oe
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to the
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollcrant
people, whero there is no so':ity. churches, or
schools, whs-re the price of land is high, and where
the emigranr-. after being used to the healthiest
climate ia the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
lauiiiy. But here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels.
Stores, saw mills, griat mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash market at hand. The lum
ber trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories w ill soon
be started ; they live at present starting- them ex
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, the payments are such that they
can easily hny a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence

rjAHE NEW YORK TRIBUXE, 1S57-8.
J..' lho Tribune was first issued as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1841. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y ar ; its
Semi-Weekly in May, ISto. It was the first daily
in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at
a low price, Bnd it has kept at least even with tho
foremost of its rivals in the rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, v hich the great extension
of Railroads, and the establishment of the Tele
graph system have crowded into these lastsixtccn
oventfui years. No larger jourunl is afforded at
so low a price in any quarter of the world; none
in America, no matter at what price issued, pays
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellec
tual labor. It employs correspondents regularly
in tho leading capitals of Europe, and at the most
important' points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writors and reporters at home, regarding
full, carl v anil accurate information as the first ob
ject of a 'Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation tfiereol as toe cnici cnu oi us i.uuo
rials. In that spirit. "The Tribune" has been and
w ill be conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old with the New World
by the magnetic wire prove successful. we shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a corresponding advantage to oui readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceeding day's
occurrences throughout Europe, Northern Africa
and Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects
Of hither Europe. With a good atlas beside him
and his daily paper on his fireside table, the A
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughout the day preced
ing ; and it seems hardly possible that any who
can read, but especially ne who has children to
educate, will longcrdeny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. ' The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland : though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or e
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune deals with questions of Political
Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual, Moral,
Social and Physical well be.ng of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
is the honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
sphere or capacity, and the consequent elevatiou
of the Laboring class iu knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in tho defense of Country and Liberty against
actual invasion, and to every form of (lambling.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Trutlio
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a diserimiuatirg
Tariff "a policy which tends to increase the price
of tirain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance a
cross which their respective products are exchang
ed and. of course, reducing the cost of their trans
for. Kegardirg Fillibustcrism in all its phases.
ai;l every form and device of National eovetous-nc.-s.
with unqualified abhorrence as tho bane of
Republics and in their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every, means to woo
and win the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
devclopcmcnt and beneficence at home, foremost
among which wc rank a Railroad through the
heart of our territory to connect the waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the good's of this life are not yet fairly distributed,
and that no one ready to work should ever famish
in unwilling idleness, it lends au open ear to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which docs
not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
qni red. whose denial must sink mnnkirid into the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be
othtr (iu the main) than needy and wretched, it
bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that thechild trained up in
the way ho should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that a true Education Religious, Moral
anil Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our race. Recognising in the most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark whichshould
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out, wc have charity for all forms of evil but those
which seek personal advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. Tho champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter impulses and aspirations, tho barlonger of
general concord letween Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions haAU thrown iuto unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary once observed that he never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate -The Tribune,' nor a generous, large-souled,
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
Attestation.
The circulation of The Tribune is nt this time

copies; Semi-Weekly. 16.000 copies; California
and European. G,(lt'0 copies; Total, 230,8Ut) copies.
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to be exceeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that of the Daily falls behind that
of some of our cotemporaries. Dad our hostility
to Human Slavery and tho Liquor Traffic besn
more guarded and politic, our laily issues would
now be some thousands heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative; but of our patronage gen
erally we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the influence
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraiut, while a
large number, wc are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all. Still, we have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capneity would have
Stooped have been relied on tojustify the stoppage
of our papers within reach of their subscribers and
rightful owners, and their retention in the Post
Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
them living on their self-proclaimed ability .to
serve as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote nt our expense tho di.
semmiuatiou of gaieties of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, but we do not affect in
difference to it. In tho open field of discussion,
we fear nothing; but in the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Posniaster cau in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to take the jour
nal he rccomnicuds.wc have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor
anu t rce .-oil throughout the land to take care
that (his official warfare on our circulation be not
prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no
travelling agtnU, for we will not oonscnt to have
the publiu harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in our behalf. We strike the name of each
subscriber to our Weekly anij Semi-Weekly fro.a
our books as soon as his term has expired, for w
w ill not haunt cur patrons with duns for arrears
which they may say tiiey never intended to incur,
lor papers which perhaps they never rend ; we
