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. The items

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.

that nine-tenths of all the Physicians of
the country prescribe whiskey In their

Physicians : that nearly all the whiskey
BO consumed , until a recent period , has
contained poisonous Ingredients , such as
fusel oil , vitriol , catechu , etc. , as is shown
by analyses In sufficient quantities to poi
son the system ; that the fatal dose ot
fusel oil , Is stilted by Rabuteau to bo 1.4
to 1.0 grains ; that thousands to-day are

FIELD AND FARM.
To Grain Dealers nnd Partners of Ne
braska.
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 ,

Good llulcs Tor TcliltiR Horses' ARCS.
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.
"The GUI Man. "
Omaha Railway News : A Railway
News man heard of nn amusing incident
that occurred at the Union Pacillc , depot
not long since , in which a high express
ollieial figured. 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.
A New York oleo facolry boast's that it
employs the highest talent in its labora
tory , having secured the services of the
French chemist who bleached the famous
sacred elephant. A man who can coun
terfeit an elephant ought to do fairly
well counterfeiting butter

The number or lunatics in district and
privaio asylums last year in Ireland was
1-4,033. The cost per capita was about
the same ns that of paupers in tlio work
houses. In twenty years , the govern
ment inspector boasts , only ono notion
was brought for illegal detention , and
failed.
