IFHOM THE BEE'S MNCOI.V ncnr.An. | The seventh nnmml report of tlio stnlo fish commission was submitted to the Kovcrnor yesterday. It consists princi pally ot n detailed report by Supcrin- tcmlonl O'lirion of the work tlono at tlio Jtatchcry during 1885 , with special chap ters by the commissioners showing how mid where tlio product was distributed. Up to December JH , 1885 , 121,000 brook trout , 8,000 California trout , ( i05 black bass , 8,745 German carp , and 5,575,000 wall-eyed pike weru raised al tlio hatch- ry and planted in waters in various parts of tlio state. Of Iheso food fish tlio commissioners appear to bo of tlio opin ion that the car ) ) , bass and pike can bo most successfully bandied in this state , nnd special directions nro given for preparing ponds for raising tlio former. Thorn should bo firstly a con tinuous supply of pure water to insure : iK ltii > l ncfidmits from long droughts. ficepago , and other causes , and to guard against a solid freezing the pond should bo for at least one-quarter of its area fully four feet deep. This other three- quarters should 1m Shallow to allow ntiuatio plants and weeds to grow so that the carp may have feeding and spawning grounds. A pipe for drawing oil' till the water when ile&ired , should bo laid , and tlio end in tlio pond should be lilted with a tliimblu Khaped \ \ - \ screen \ to prevent tlio young lish being drawn in by tlio .suction. The sides of the pond must bo compact and of suf- licient breadth at the water line to bo safe from breaking through If the bottom tom is well pulverized with a. harrow before - fore the water is lot in , it will the moro readily become impervious to water , and leakage bo prevented. All this done , tlio overllow gate should bo screened , and then the pond is ready for the introduc tion of the ilsh. Carp feed largely on the animalculto that inhabit the bottom of ponds , or plants that grow there , but tin occasional feed of cooked grains or veg etables , excepting onions , is advisable. The financial statement of the com mission for some unknown reason is pro- Rented in two insjallnients. The first is brought up to April 1 , 188.1 and is charged against the old appropriation.

A CHANCE FOU fil'KCUI.ATOIIS. At thir meeting of the board of public lands ycsloida.y a resolution was adopted ordering the Gillcspio property to bo ad vertised for sale at public auction on the usual terms. This property , which con sists of a number of lots near thc'capitol building , came into the possession of the state some years back , being turned over by Mr. Gillcspio in settling his accounts as auditor , at a valuation of $ 1.000. The building up of the city has worked a rapid increase in value , and to-day the lowest estimate placed , on the tract if $15,000. It is one of the best situated and most desirable pieces of real estate in Lincoln , and the bidding at the sale will probably be very spirited Tlio pur- elm.sor will bo required to pay one-tenth of tlio accepted bid down , and will bo given twenty years time at 0 per cent on the remainder. 11UIEP MENTION.

As wo are constantly receiving inqui ries from parties desirous to know our opinion as to the future prices of tlio dif ferent corcnlsj and prospective demand for each , and what will likely bo the most remunerative- to plant the comintr season , etc. , wo take this means of not only answering these inquiries , but also of giving our ideas to all who may bo in terested in such matters , which , of course , arc of very great importance , directly or indirectly , to nearly all branches of trade. The present low price of wheat will no doubt have a tendency to reduce the acreage planted of this grain quite mate rially for 1880. Then , if llicro results a partial failure in Kuropc , nnd also in sec tions of this country , quite nn advance of present prices would easily bo obtained , especially since the present light stock In our country will nearly all bo exported or consumed at home before the next crop comes to market. The noted weath er prophets predict an early spring , very favorable tor the planting of wheat , oats , barley and rye ; a late frost , the injurious results of which cannot bo foretold , an exceptionally cohl summer , unfavorable for maturing corn. Wo do not think it wise to stake our fortune ? on scientific predictions , although usually they may hit the mark. What to plant is certainly with farmers , the srrcat and all-absorbing question of tlio hour , as the season is fast approach ing. Taking everything into considera tion , wo tulviso as follows : That CO per cent of the tillable soil be planted with corn , 25 per cent with wheat and S.r . > per cent with oats , barley and rye. We do not advise the raising of llax , us an over production would bo quite an easy mat ter , the demand for it being quite limited , and the indications are for lower prices in this product. Wo think a general in. reuse in the production of oats , rye and jarloy quite safe. The wise farmer will ) lant moro or less of all kinds of grain. t is reasonable to suppose that fair prices yill be obtained for some kinds , if not 'or all. As this open letter will likely bo read by a largo number of our thinking farm- ; rs , gram dealers , and business men , and is you all may wonder at tlio present low > rices of corn compared with last year , especially since seaboard prices have been anil are still ruling about the same "or the best grades as last season , wo will , ako this opportunity of giving the reas- jus for the difference , which are simply these : The freight on corn from Chicago and all Mississippi river pointsto the sea board is 10 to 12 cents per 100 Higher tha - ast season ; and tlio difference in Urn aluo of our corn on account of its ine .crior quality is at least 2 cents po- bushel on the average less , which tor gcllier makes the corn worth about - cents per bushel less al the initial poln t han last season. These are facts which vyill stand tlior- oujrh investigation , and will certainly go ilong ways towards shielding all Nebras ka railroads from very mueli censure as o being the cause of present low prices of corn in our state. Hoping these suggestions may be of lomo benefit , we are very respectfully our friends , HIMCB.VUGH & MUIIUUM. March 4 , 1880. Itccoiumcmlctl Fruits.

From the Sportsman : The full grown horse possesses twouty.four back teeth , that is. six in each side of each jaw ; those are called molars or grinders. Ho lias twelve front tcetli , that I * , six in each jaw. Marcs have ; no tushes. The foal lias either at his birth , or shortly after ward eight milk teeth , that Is , four in each jaw : nt about 12 m nths two moro milk teeth come in each jaw. These re main unchanged till lie Is U years old. The mouth of the yearlings and 2 year olds cannot bo confounded. The year ling mouth shows no signs of use , and the corner teeth are shells onlyat2years ; old those teeth are strong and well crown nnd tlio corner tooth iilled up. A little bcforo 8 years old the center teeth of each jaw fall out and r.ro replaced by permanent tooth. A jittlo before 4 the two teeth on each side of the center teeth are replaced by permanent ones. A little before 5 the two remaining teeth are shed , nnd in their place comu perma nent ones. The upper milk tooth usual ly fall out first. Thus the mouth is complete as to its front tcoth ; tlio corner tooth , howo'vor , Is but imperfectly developed , being ai present a shell only ; this shell at six years old hni lilleil up , and is a complete tooth. This is tlio dilforonco between a live and six-year-old. . The tushes ap pear between three and ono-htvlf years mid four years old , and they take nearly two years to arrive at their full growth. Those teeth , ns the horse grows older , got blunter and shorter , ami so to an ox- pcricnccd judge tire a sure indication of uge. Up to six years old the mouth is in a distinct and periodical state of struct ural change. There is no dlllicully in determining the ago up to that date , After that tno ago must ho judged by the shape of the mouth and the appearance of tlio tcoth called the mark. At six years of ago tlio cups leave two center teotli above , at seven the next two above , and at eight the outer or corner teeth above. At nine tlio two center teeth below lose the cups , at ten the next two below , and at eleven the outer or corner teeth bolow. Alter a little practice tlio close observer can scarcely make a mistake. The changes that occur are the same In all horsed , or nearly so. Cows for General Purposes. In selecting cows for general purposes everything depends upon tlio farm itself and the nature of the crops grown upon it. What may bo a general mimosa cow on ono farm may ho considered a very "uferior cow on another. The fanner .vho . keeps cattle for beef will prefer a cow that rapidly converts food intoj beef , uul if she also gives a fair proportion of milk and butter ho will consider her a oneral purpose cow so far as his preferences are concerned. Another 'armor wlio e specialty may ho that of soiling milk directly to consumers will 'magiue a general purpose cow to bo one .hat yields much milk and which may lie readily turned off for the block when r usefulness as a milker if ended. Ho who does not Sell milk , but uses the jream in making'butter ' , will look upon : ho fats of the milk as more profitable or his purpose ? His ideal cow will boone ono that produces : i largo amount of butter in proportion to food consumed , and should she possess any other good qualities will bo to him a general pur pose cow. There is another class , and a nunerous one , that practices a system from which sucji tanners are slow to .tepart. They turn the cows on the pasture , or in the woods , to pick up their food , and to tlienl such cows as can live in tliis way are best for general pur poses. The general purpose cow is only imag inaryEacli individual forms his own opinions , as to what should constitute a general purposa.cow'nnd looks over the lioidfrom his own standpoint. Yet , it cannot be denied that some cows come nearer to the qualification of being gen eral purpose than others The fact must not bo overlooked that tlio general pur pose cow must bo produced on the farm. Happily for the farmers of this country there are quite n largo number of breeds from wliicn to select for the purpose. Each has its own lixed characteristics , and each possesses predominant traits peculiar to itself which enable the farm er to blond them by a system of crossing and breeding through several channels , tints assisting him to accomplish results which cannot bo reached in any other manner. Should the farmer desire a general purpose - pose cow which excels in producing calves that can bo cheaply raised for beef ( provided ho does not overlook the inllu- enco of the male ) , ho can produce her by breeding through the Shorthorn. Hero- fonj or Scotch polled cattle. With the use of the latter ho can deprive her of horns. Ho can secure size and great yields of milk by resorting to the Hoi- Htein , and ho can impart milk : production with active habits from tlio Ayrshire. Ho has the Jerseys , Guernseys tuid Holsloins as examples for the production of butter , and with so many good breeds from whhth to select ho can produce any grade of cows ho prefers. As stated , however , the farm itself must bo considered. A poor farm will not properly support a herd of choice cows , As the farmer begins to grade up his cows he must also endeavor to adapt the farm to the cows , or ho must reverse the conditions and adapt the cows to the farm , The heavy feeders cannot afford to work for a living by traveling great distances to secure food , nor can they climb steep hillsides. The farm intend ed for profitable animals must not only contain the best pasturage or other food , but care and attention must also bo be stowed upon the stock. Hints and Suggestions. A young orchard is frequently treated to a Kind of savagery to which most other farm productions would succumb. It is often planted in a light soil , either nat ural or made so by constant tillage and kept in a crop , because most people think sowing or planting must follow plowing , and ( lie farmer , in most neighborhoods , who would manure a young orchard and not grow n crop on tlio strength of it would ho considered a crank in farming , or at least very improvident. All who have kept ihccp and watched thorn know that thoy"must bo regularly and well fed , givmg the lambs a separ ated rack for rovren1 and grain , in ono corner ot the pen , into which no ewe must bo alowed ! aeness , but where the lambs should at all'times ' find grain and rowon. No cotton scad meal should over bo given to lambs till they are faovornl years old , ns it is rich ami heavy grain and is very apt to produce fits in a bhort time after being s.wallowed. The proper time to market lambs Is when they will dress from twenty-livo to thirty pounds , and iff of tlio right breed and well fed tnatwolght , ought to be ob tained when si.\tylays ( old u not older no lamb over fiovmily-livo days old is lit to bo eaten as lanvu , uml on this point I want to urge with these breeders who are in the habit of keeping their lambs till tly will dross over thirty-live pound ! . I grant that the butchers , hotel btowards and purchasers of that class like to get a heavy quarter for their money , but the persons who eat the meat know very quickly the dilference between a lamb of proper ago and ono over three months old. At this time ot year the work of tree pruning goes iorwnril with great vigor and the hearts of those who love the natural beauty of objects nro &orely tried at seeing the reckless way in whioh the trees in the streets are destroyed. For some j-cason It is now the fashion , when the shade from a row of trees becomes too dense , instead of cutting out some of the trues entirely or judiciously thinning out thoRiipertlous branches , to lop otl'tlio whole head of cadi ono , with the result tlmt wo sco a row of brooms , all the branches out to n oven length. Noth ing could bo moro absurd or more hideous. A tree , if allowed its natural growth , is almost Invariably a beautiful object , nnd the maples , of which wo have BO many in our streets , nearly always develop in time a truly beautiful form. But maimed and mutilated by ignorant gardeners they become truly hideous ; better far cut them out entirely. Wo want few trees in our streets , but such ns wo have we should have in tlieir native beauty of form. The purpose of ventilating collars is to make them cool and dry. They nro of ten ventilated so as to bo warm and damp. This is done when the air admit ted to thoin from without is considerably wanner than the air within them , Coin ing into the cooler cellar , this air , wliilo it raises the temperature of the cellar air , itself is cooled , and deposits its moisture , which soon becomes evident ns visible or palpable dampness. Therefore , all the ventilation of cellars in warm weather should bo dotio al night , and the collar should bo kept closed between sunrise and sunset. The fattening value of grains depends largely upon.tlio free oil or fat contained in them , with their sugar , starch , etc. One per cent of oil is considered equal to moro than 2 per cent of sugar and starch. At these estimates sixty-nine pounds of corn equal sovonty-riglil pounds of bar ley , but the barley Is richer in albumin oids and is > , therefore , moro valuable than corn for the development of llesh.

It happened after this fashion : Mr. K. M. Morriinan , president of Ilia Pucllia Express company , had ar ranged to go east by the afternoon train. Just about the time he was leaving his office ho remembered that ho had left his traveling-bag at his residence in the north part of the city , and going down into the local ollico , gave order. * for ono of the express wagon drivers to go anil bring it post luislu , saying ho would await his return in the express ollleo at the dopot. It so happened that the driver who was dis patched for thu desired article had never seen Mr. Mori-man to know' him. Alter a hard ride tlio driver arrived at tlio de pot with just a minute to spare , anil all breathless ho rushed up to a gentleman standing in the express olllcn door and asked , "Where's the old man ? " The gentleman was Mr. Morsman , and tak ing in the situation instantly , ho replied that ho didn't know where the old man was. The driver , a little vexed nt not finding him , throw down his charge with the exclamation , "Well , there's his d d old grip. " Picking up the grip Mr. Mors- man said , "Thanks , kindly. " and made oll'for tiio train , leaving the poor driver glued to the lloor.
