WOOL The history of the growth of wool is
very curious. Fifty years ago not pound of fine
wool was raised in the United States, in Great
Britain, or many other country except Spain in
the latter country the hocks- were owned by the
nobility or by the crown. In 1894, small flock
was sent to the Eector of Saxony as present
for the King of Spain, whence the entire product
of SaXony wool, now of such immense value. Be-
fore the breaking out of the last war between this
country and Great Britain, Col. Humphreys sue
eeeded in getting a few merno sheep brought out
Of Spain, though their expectation was prohibited
under the penalty of being sent to the gaIleys for
life.
In 800, during the second invasion of Spain by
the French, some of the valuable Grown focks
were sold to raise money. Our Consul at Lisbon,
Mr.. Jarvis, purchased fourteen hundred head and
sent them to this country. Previously, however,
Mr.. Livingston obtained few sheep of the Span
ish breed as a present, in 1892. A portion of the
pure unmixcd merlno blood from these flocks is to
be found in Vermont at this time. Such was the
origin of the immense tlocks of fine wooded sheep
in the United States and Great Britain. Galena

Mode Of Increasing the GroDM Of Potatoes.--
The flowers being cut off as they appeared on the
plants, the number of potatoes, produced was
much greater than where the blossoms had re-
NAMED untouched Early in October, the stems
and leaves Of the plants which had not borne flow
ers were strong and green-the other yellow and
in state Of decay. The plants which had been
stripped of flowers produced Con the same space
of ground) about four times the weight of large
potatoes, very few small ones being found. Those
on which the flowers and fruit were left, produced
but small number of middle sized potatoes, with
great number of lutte ones, from the size of a
common tilbert to that of a walnut.

We find in an old paper the following good advice
to dairy mads:-" In churning for butter always
have an open space for the air to have free
to the cream. If you stop up the orfce as it is
customary to prevent the cream spashng out, you
may churn hours and hours in vain! Butter is
prodced by the union of oxygen with the cream,
and more will be made, and quicker and of a finer
flavor, if you have your churn sufficiently open,
than you have no aperture ofproper size. One
experiment will convince you of this"

HOW TO DO II

A friend recently placed the tract entitled, " In
fluence of the slave power" in the hands of an in

he was surprised at its disclosures and should
henceforth vote the liberty ticket. The same
tract was given to another man, and with the same
results. Circulate the documents.-Lib STAT,

For the Green Mountain Freemaa.
Liberty Appeal.
BY E. G. STILES

BY L. G. STILES.
Arouse Arouse for Liberty,
Ye men Of freedom now;
And let us have a thrilling shout,
Although they say we're few.
o let us wake to Freedoms cause,
And stand among the brave,
That we may give a just rebuke
To all who hate the slave.
Do you profess to be man.
And can you be so base
As not to weep for others woes
Because they'er not your race:
Oh hear the victim as he calls
Upon you fol relief,
And proys you'll humble tone
To hear his tale fgref
But nay: Ineed not strive to paint
His suh'rings and his tears;
Alas 'tWould far surpass my power
To picture forth his fears.
Lift up your heads, sad Airic's race,
For you shall yet be free:
Then every mount and every dell
Shall ring with LIBERTY!
But ah! say you the time is near
And naught can it prolong,
When Texas shall to us be joined,
And make our letters strong.
0 God forbid from heaven above,
In thunders wilt thou speak,
And swear by thy almighty power
Texas from us to keep.
Voters, lay to your helping hand,
Your shoulder to the wheel,
And let US see if we can make
The tyrant's power yield.
