Our stockmen are sterdily and persistently improving the quality of cattle, and that so young a state as Kansas should have a larger per cent, of high-grade cattle than the country at large, clearly indicates that the business is being conducted by intelligent and progressive men. The loss in the United States among sheep was 8 per and for Kansas was the same. The want of appropriate shelter in western Kansas contributed largely to this result. The business of sheep husbandry is prolitable in this state, when conducted with care, and the annual loss from exposure and neglect is rapidly declining. The loss among swine in Kansas last year was but 3 per while the average loss in the United States was 8.6 per cent.

This small loss can be attributed to the abundance of good food and the natural adaptability of the state to this industry. Kansas ranks seventh among the states in numbers of swine. Altogether, tho showing of the department is very nattering to Kansas. Being one of the younger members of the Union of States, the high rank obtained thus early, clearly indicates a bright and promising future. Fable Illustrated.

The news is now flashed throughout the wprld that General Grant has met with peculiar misfortune. Had he recklessly speculated and lost, there would have been little sympathy for him, although even that infirmity could not have dimmed the grandeur of his military fame; but he has suffered by a father's natural trust in his children, and they have suffered by failing to learn that even a great name is unequal to the task of protecting reckless or rotten business direction.
