Fancy Stock.


Our experience seems to prove that nc

For instance in sheep, cross between
Merinos and Cotswolds will give good sized
mutton and good superdne quality Of wool
much better for practical use in New England
than either the iull-blooded Merino or Cots.
void.
Again, in horses, each different breed has
various good points, but are lacking in other
desirable ones. A good horse for farmer
should possess all the good points,
SO in cattle. Probably it would be I'M
possible to find single animal Of any par
ticular breed, which would show all the good
points requisite for use on our New England
farms One Of the best mich cows the
writer ever knew was a cross of Devon with
Native Another superior one was half
Dutch part Ayrshire and Native. Most
people acquainted with the different breeds
are aware that the Devon are not great milk
ers though the oxen are handsome and good
workers, but not so good for beef as the Dur
hams, while the Durhams are not noted as
great mixers. The Dutch are good mixers.

not take on flesh so rapidly as more com.

would think of taking the Jerseys for stall.
feeding.
People are often disappointed in new or
fancy breeds Of cattle or sheep, for the reason
that such fancy breeds have been kept in a
fancy manner, aud often their superiority
consists mainly in their having been reared
aud kept upon the best the land affords. and
they usually fall away and dwindlo to insig-
nitcance when treated as native breeds have
been. Many farmers in Vermont aud New
Hampshire have been sadly disappointed with
fancy Merino sheep which have cost them
fancy prices. In many cases these sheen
have dwndled and died when treated as the
Native sheep are usually.
Having examined different herds of superi.
or Durham cattle, owned by noted breeders
IN Vermont and Canada, have invariably

grain were fed to such stock the year round

return is received by the sale Of an animal at
fancy price.
In some cases, doubtless, the breeders Of
fancy cattle may confer q benefit to the coun-
try, but usually the parties purchasing such
cattle for practical use lose by the operation,
for the reason that with common feed they
are sure to depreciate. We are aware that
it would well pay most farmers to take better
care Of their stock, and feed better than they
do at present but until they conclude TO
take fancy care of their animals, they had
better not purchase fancy stock Of any kind.

whore outside Of useful work. Ii has never

The PARAGUAYAN WAR.-The Buenos
Ayres Standard says that the war in
Paraguay is, according to the opinion Of
some, drawing to close, as it is utterly
impossible to surround or to cffectually
attack Lopez position in the mountains.
Attempts to do so have utterly failed. 1t
says that, recently, General Mena Baretto,
who made such successful raid into the
enemy's country, liberating some twelve
thousand women and children, was attack
ed while deiling through difficult pass
in the mountains twenty-one miles long
most desperate fight ensued. The Bra
zilians formed as we'll as the defile would
admit. but the Paraguayans had battery
mounted on ar eminence, which raked the
pass, and the rear of the Brazilians was
completely cut of. Hundreds of the
unfortunate families perished, being be-
tween two fires, and the two cavalry regi-
ments which wound up the rear were
completely cut of. All the Brazilian cav>
airy, with the exception Of about fifty
men, escaped back by night and Joined
the bulk of the forces under the command
of General Baretto; but from the many
accounts received, the engagement was
one of the most sanguinary and desper-
ate fights since this memorable war be-
gun.

CHARLES SUMNER.--On the 4th of July
1908, Charles P. Sumner, father of the
present Senator from Massachusetts deliy.
cred an oration before the Young Repub-
licans Of Boston, in which occurs the
following passage:
'There is indeed no diversity of inter-
est between the people of the North and
the people Of tie South; and they are no
friends to either pho endearor to stimulate
and embitter the one against the other.
What if the sons of Massachusetts, rank
high on the roll Of revolutionary fame
The wisdom and heroism for which they
have been distinguished, will never permit
them to indulge in inglorious boast. The
independence and liberty we possess are
the result of joint counsels and joint
efforts-of common dangers, suferings,
and success;' and God forbid that those
who lnive every motive of sympathy and
interest to act in concert, should ever be-
come the prey of party chickering's among
themselves.

A Nashville dispatch gives Senter's

counties to be heard from. As those

Legislature will stand as follows: SEN
ate, Is members in all, Fl conservatives

50 conservatives. 9 radicals and 6 con-
servative Republicans, with two districts
to hear from. Horace Greeley express
ed the hope the other day that the two
branches of the Republican party would
unite in opposition to Andrew johnson
or any other man of that stripe, but it
will be seen that the Republicans, if
united, would be an Insignificant minor

FEMALE CLERKS,

FEMALE CLERKS.
A Washington correspondent, writing
OF morals in the departments where fe-
male clerks are employed, tells the follow
ing .4 S&At II.
A gust of wind will sometimess make
queer revelations. It will lift veil, and
show you hideously marked face, or a
skirt, and exhibit deformed limb.
Sweeping through the forest it will lift an
autum leaf from the earth, and disclose
under 1T nest of horrible, noxious ver-
min. 1t has been shown that it will un-
cover as curious moral deformities. One
day there came whiting breeze around
the corner of government department.
not far from the interior, sweeping in be-
hind the massive colonades, and carried a
letter lying on the table of female clerk
through the open window. The lady
clerk had read the letter, and had gone
hastily indignant from the room to con-
suit the gentlemanly chief of the bureau
upon its contents. The letter was writ>
ten by sister clerk in an adjoining room,
who had jast made the startling discovery
that the person to whom it was addressed
was rival in an unlawful intimacy with
the chief Of the bureau. The letter. in
its turn, had just maddened the receiver
by a similarly surprising developement.
Meanwhile, newsbov-the gamin Of the
Washington strcets-had caught the hut-
tering letter out of the window, and re-
turned it to the room from which it came.
1t was received there into the general
possession of the lady occupants of the
room. Another of them catching its con-
tents was shocked by doubly exaspera-
ting surprise, but prudently withheld the
letter from further observation. The own
er, returning, accused her of the theft;
and, under mutual recriminations, there
transpired the trinity of secrets. The
breeze had discovered three mistresses in
a single department, to its chief.

Thirty hands are employed. The woods
