DIR. Lanahan, the Assistant Agent of
the Methodist Book Concern, believing
that he had disco vefed fraud and mis-
management IN the affairs of that estab-
Ilishment, made his discoveries public
and called for some action on the part
of the authorities Aof the church. A
partial investion was undertaken by a
Committee, which presented "a report
that satisfied nobody. Further induir-
les were then proposed, and Dr. Lana
han undertook the collection of evil
dence' to sdbstantiate his charges. In
the course of these proceedings the per-
sonal relations between the Assistant
Agent and his Immediate superior had
naturally become unpleasant. DIR.
Lanahan was opposed at every step of
his researches. lie was denied access
to the books, and driven to apply. to
the courts for q .mandanlus to compeI
the exhibition of accounts which it is
natural to suppose the Concern ought
to have been anxious to show In its
own vindication.- Hereupon the Book
Committee, without ascertaining what
foundation there was for DIR. Lanahan's
charges, put himson trial for making
them. He has been found guilty and
recommended to the bishops for re-
moval from Office. d. 5if
The result of their action is obvious.
| No employee of the Book Concern who
discovers anything wrong hereafter will
tell of it if he values his place. The
cardinal rule of business in that estab-
! lishment is to keep things quiet, and
the worst offense that an agent or as
sistant agent can commit is to let any

Committee that there shall be no gen

mental to the Concern. =, There is a
large body of laymen interested in the
welfare of this great Methodist institu-
ton, and to them it appears that the
Concern is suffering detriment not half
so much from the charges of DR.. Lam

mittee to smother the charges instead

HOW TO HAVE GOOD cows.
:243:

To-day-26th May-in conversation with
one of our subscribers, who is also one of the
best farmers in Kennebec county, he remark
ed, q" feed my COWS now, every day, on hay
and meal" 1t was not necessary to ask if
his cows were in good condition, and if they
gave good yields of milk this was matter
of course. Any farmer who, after his cows
have been at pasture three weeks, still con-
tinues daily feed of hay and meal, will not
be disappointed at the result. As the pas
lures come to their height of feed it can be
discontinued and the flow of milk kept up
until fodder corn comes into play again rs
the dry weather of midsummer scorches the
natural heritage. How different this course
from that of the farmer (?) who pinches his
cows through the winter to prevent buying
hay, and turns them to pasture us soon us
there is II spre of grass to be seen; his cows,
we venture, don't pay. But feeding well
pays anywhere, and good feed makes good
cows.-Maine Farmer.

HOG WISDOM.

A Chester county, Pa, correspondent of
the Southern Planter says: No animals de-
teriorate faster than swine. The trough is
great element in the character of hog; he
is amazingly like Il dandy. To keep him in
first rate trim, he soon eats his head of, yet
if he has to hunt his food, even with the
slightest effort, he soon becomes too enter
prising to be II fine specimen. As soon as u
pig becomes enterprising, he ceases to be n
"Chester County White" Dame Nature
soon fits him to his "new order of things -
his nose lengthens, his legs grow longer, his
sides flatten, his hams lose their plumpness
and in one or two generations he is match
for any ordinary hog If you want to keep
up the breed of good hogs, keep no more
than you can keep so lazy that they will not
grunt.

There is one or two features in regard to the
thoroughbred stock worthy of mention. We
think it is not generally understood tn this
section, that those purely thoroughbred,
strongly resemble our old Morgan horses to II
great extent. They have FULL heavy tails,
and are more compact in their build, than is
generally supposed, varying in this particu-
lar, more rangy, longer necks and finer
heads. In selecting these horses, the commit
tee paid quite us much attention to the stock
of the several horses. As to the horses
themselves, there is no doubt they will do
our Vermonters good, us they not only pos
sess fine breeding, but have fine size, bone
