The Mead Farm.

While attending meeting Of the state
board OF agriculture at West Rutland, No.
vember 90 aud 80, was fortunate enough
to stay over night with the hleads And
one thing seems very unusual the farm
has been owned by Mead ever since Col
James Mead first settled in the town Of
Rutland in 1863. lie aud his wife were
the first white people that settled in Rut.
land. The farm has been in possession Of
the Mead family ever since, and is now oc.
cupied by Abner j.. aud his soa John ii,
Mead. The latter is tho fifth generation
that have lived on this farm.
At the time of the battle of Hubbardston
Col Mead's wife caught stallion tho men
could not catch, aud put on un old.iashiODed
piliou, aud rode him to Bennington in one
day, carrying one child in her arms, and one
before and one behind her on the horse.
The farm contains 22O acres. The stock
kept last winter was IL head of cattle, 100
Merino sheep and three horses. John II.
Mead, now about ~ years OF age, began to
breed McrinO sheep when about ten years of
age aud has kept at it ever since. He has
a natural liking for Merinos, and has been
very successful as breeder. His aocks
have taken several premiums, both at the
county aud state fairs. The flock average
ten pounds, unwashed, and rams have sheAred
as high as 30 pounds, and ewes III pounds
The flock show good constitution aud good
breeding. The sheep stables are very con.
venent with the exception that the water
does not come into the stable, but into the
yards. Wood cuts Of celebrated Merino
rams and ewes ar. plenty, the walls of the
sheep stables being well lined with them,
Mr. Mead has made sales Of sheep to 60 to
nearly every state in the Union where Me.

%, at the call Of DIR G, ldmith, to c'Dsider
the subject Of a proper representation OF
Vermont at tue centennial Hon. William
r. Sanford was elocted chairman and Henry
Clark secretary, when the opinion was eK-
pressed by all that Vermont should have
head quarters at the centennial, where Yer.
monters could 6nd each other and to give
character to Vermont among her sister states
at the centennial. And the question arose
how the necessary funds should be provided.
Hon NJ. s. Colburn maintained that there
should be a special session Of the Legislature
to make an appropriation for the purpose.
Others were of opinion that the necessary
funds could be raised by subscription. DIR
Goldsmith stated that although the tune for
applying for space had already expired,
there would be room enough. A committee
of 6ve persons were chosen to net as execu.
tive committee and have charge of arOusing
the interests of the people aud raising funds,

That Sick Heifer.

have consulted all whom | have seen
about my heifer, ever since she was taken
sick, and all said IL was some trouble with
the gall and liver. / doctorsd for il ell the
time, and stiII she grew worse, until thought
she could never get well and, as she did
not eat or drink anything for ten days, l had
her killed. Her liver and gall were as per-
feet as any creatures all we could 6ud out
Of 6x was her third stomach, which was SO
decayed that it would tear like piece of
vet, brown paper, and all the food ia it was
completely baked up, 80 that II was hard.
The folds of the stomach, aud the stomach
itself, were all turned black, and decayed.
call it inflammation of the stomach. If
that is not right, will some one tell me what
it was, and If there was any cure for it and
If SO, what it was, and l will be greatly
obliged, and il may be help to others.
Yours truly, d. w. ROBERTS.
West Hartford, Dec 10.
1t is possible that the strange condition
OF the stomach was the result of disease
Alone-inAammation, perhaps, occasioued by
excessive eating or drinking and it may have
been occasioned by some poison taken with
the food, or even by drugs administered. 1t
is never safe to use medicine much at ran.

Comparative Value Of Hay and Meal.

Seeing the question asked in the FARMER
of December 3, il "ten bushels Of corn would
save ton Of hay" l thought would say
q word, or give bit of my experience.
Three years ago was short Of hay, and
had thirty cows and a span of horses.
Knowing that | must buy hay or meal, l
chose the meal. commenced, the last of
January, to feed two quarts day per COW,
in place of noon feed of hay, saving one
third of hay, and watching closely for the
result. l soon became satisfied that my
COWS were doing quite as we'll, if not better,
than when having the noon feed Of hay.
About the first Of March | increased the
meal to four quarts, essening the hay by SO
much, finding, by weighing hay and meal,
that meal was the cheaper food l have no
doubt they would have eaten nearly, or
quite, as much hay, had il been given them.
My object was to save hay. Now for the
results.
1 never had my cows do better on coming
10, or make more butter during the spring
aud ou going out to pasture. But for mileh
cows should mix with meal an equal guam
tity of wheat bran or shorts. @. A. COBB.

was all sown with Swedish turnips, and No

the following result in pounds per imperial

(tnat received nothipg,) 3440. Deducting
the number Of pounls produced by the non.
fertilized plot, there remain 800 pounds that
must have been produced by the application
Of charcoal. Whether these 800 pOuLd,
we're produced mainly by the charcoal itself,
or whether by the absorption Of gaseous sub
stances in the atmosphere, and their delivery
to the plants on demand, the charcoal did
not act most effectually, may, perhaps, be
questionable. am inclined to the latter
opinion.
Al examination Of the plots shows that
eight plots in the % yielded less than the
charcoal plot. Among these are those treat
ed with wood ashes, gypsum, quick lime and
bone dust. In this experiment natural gu.
ano aud bone dust gave the largest return.
