Kaening Sheen

An English breeder of sheep who had
succeeded in bringing his Southdown up
to high point of excellence, upon being
asked how he obtained such uniformity
of character, replied: 81 started with a
definite idea of the sheep | wished to
breed; ! kept that in view, and
that is the secret of the uni
formity of character in my sheep, and
to some extent the secret of my success.
| am one of those who think it is not
well to be always jumping about to diff
fercnt places, simply because sheep of
different characters may happen to be in
fashion at particular season. think
if you mean to be successful, you must
have pretty correct idea of what you
want at the beginning, and, never mind
what any one thinks, stick to it. When
| began | was not so successful as | have
been within the last few years; but if
one got commended, or second or even
third prize, it was something to begin
with"
This is one great secret of success in
breeding any kind of stock. The breeder
must have adefnite object in view-must
have his ideal, 50 to speak-and then
must bend all his energies to his practi
cal creation. If he understands the
principles of the work he is engaged in,
he will succeed but whether improve
ment ensues will depend upon the cor
rectness of his ideal Practical Farmer.

THE FUTURE.
ny EDGAR FAwCETT.

How vast is that mysterious land
That no conjecture yet hath SPAWNED,
Filled always with its boundless band
OF varied possibilities,
Wrought bat of insubstantial shade
TO distance does it broadly fade,
With awful crag or woody glade
Or high superb tranquilities.
And here throng of roaming ghosts
Walk, in immense unnumbered hosts,
Der misty hills, by dreamy coasts,
Forever widely wandering.
Here dwell great thinkers, yet unborn,
Reformers twhom their day shall scorn,)
Ana lordly statesmen, seryice-worn,
Deep problems grayely pondering
Here dwell rare poets who shall claim
The laurels of transcendent fame,
Orators that with shining name
Shall grace unwritten histories
Here all those lofty minds abide.
The hope of nations and their pride,
Who cheer the mighty throngs they guide
Through times majestic mysteries.
But here dread shapes of shadow meet,
Spirits with black intents replete,
Who vearn to set their pleasured feet
In sins most dark obliquities.
Here languish, amid fierce unrest,
War, famine, massacre, and pest,
Audaeious tyrannieS unblest,
And hatred's worst iniquities
And yet perchance in that weird land,
A race unutterably grand
Beholds all earthly evils planned,
All crimes, all wrongs unmerited.
And through slow ages big with doom,
Perchanee in patience and in gloom,
Waits the white god-like race by whom
Our world shall be inherited!

Sailing Hay.

There is a great diversity of opinion
with regard to sailing hay. Some claim
that it Injuries the hay by retaining the
moisture in it, and that it turns it black !;
others believing it will preserve green
hay in better condition that it could be
kept without it. | am not satisfied my
self whether it helps to preserve it or
not, but | Ike to use little on all my
hay, because it keeps it from becoming
as dry as itotherwise would Sailed hay
will spend better, stock will do better on
it, and, if sold, it will not dry up so bad
ly when moved as unsalted, and, conse-
quently, will weigh better. With an
experiment in view, made year ago, [
can not believe it will turn hay black
and musty if applied when green. l cut
little over a ton of hay, very early, and
put it on a scaffold in an old unused barn,
in a partially dried condition, and APP
piled peck of salt to it, leaving the hay
as light as possible, being careful not to
tread it at all. 1t was so very green | had
fears it would be quite smoky, but it
came cut quite the brightest ton of hay l
ever saw, ali of it retaining its bright
green color, This shows that salt will
not injured. the color of hay, but it does
not prove but that the scafold of hay
would not be kept just as well without
the salt. There was good circulation of
air through it, but it was sailed pretty
heavy, one peck to the toni ". p,

the ocean: "The ocean is generally
called the see and sometimes the ragin
name ships sale ON the ocean and
when tornado blowsa hole throu them
they are cassed away and then they are
called racks. 1t is more dangerus to sale

roots are good subsoiling agent, they
mellow and enrich the ground, and give
it porosity.
To eradicate quack roots, pillow twice
before planting, and the roots will be so
cut up that an ordinary horse will have
no difficulty in pulling the cultivator,
without rider to keep it down.
THERE is no better remedy for the
coddling moth than to pasture hogs in
the orchards, to eat the wor1ny apples
and the worms therein. If the orchards
are too large for the number of hogs
kept, sheep are turned in.
In transplanting young raspberries
when only six or seven inches high, and
in full growth, in the early part of the
summer, take pail to hold the plants
while digging them; take up with fork,
so as to save large part of the cross
roots; mud the roots well, and set out
near evening or on cloudy day. The
mudded roots, packed in moss, may be
sent long distances by express.
JOHN WENTWORTH, in the Prairie
Farmer, calls the attention of the authori-
ties to their legal duties in regard to the
Canada thistles, saying: ''Cut them
close to the ground and cover to the
depth of one quarter of an inch with fine
salt. A few dollars expended this month
before they go to seed will save the ex-
penditure of thousands hereafter. Salt
is cheap and so is labor"
Nor every farmer can afford barns of
sufficient size to contain his harvest, nor
can he at present prices use waterproof
canvas, or other materials as protection
for his stacks; but it is evident to all
thinking farmers that the time will come
when there will be some kind of cover
ing produced that will accomplish the de-
sired purpose. A good stack cover must
be absolutely waterproof, light enough
to be easily handled, and of sufficient
firmness to resist frequent storms of wind.

Saddle-Gall.

To prevent saddle-galls, the saddle
should be lined with some smooth, hard
substance. Flannel or wooden cloth is
bad. A hard, finished, smooth rawhide
lining, similar to those of the military
saddles, is preferable. Then, if the sad.
die is properly fitted to the horses back
there will be no gals unless the horse is
very hardly used. Calls should be
washed with soap and water, and then
with a solution of three grains of COD
peras or blue vitrol to one tablespoonful
of water, which will harden the surface
and help to restore the growth of the
skin. White hairs growing upon the
CALLED spots cannot be prevented.-Ne-

Important Legal Decision.

The Supreme Court of Vermont, in
session at Montpelier, rendered a decis-
ion, last week on Tuesday, in the i'm
paltant case of the Central Vermont
Railway Managers VS.. the Vermont and
Canada road, on petition of the Cen
trail Vermont company to sell both roads
to pay the trust debt and other debts of
the management. The opinion in the
case, which was rendered by Judge
Barrett, is of great length and occupied
two hours and half in its reading.
According to the Geographic summary
of its main points, the decision denies
the prayer of the petitioners for the sale
of the Vermont Central and Vermont
and Canada Railroads, on the ground
that no power rests in the Court to or
der such sale in the present form of APP
plication. The Court also decided that
the decree of 1864 changed the charac-
ter of the receivership from that ap-
pointed by the Court under the decree
of 1861 to a receivership constituted
under an agreement of all parties, and
whatever has been done by the various
DEGREES of the Court since that date has
been done with the consent and appro-
baton of the parties themselves, and
that all the parties were in subsection
to it. The decision covers great many
points relating to the situation of the
roads, which can only be stated with
precision on the publication of the Opin-
ion in full, which will be made in few
DAYS.

The EVangelists.

Mr.. Moody closed his work at Bur-
lingtOn last Thursday. In the after
noon of that day he preached from Ro-
mans Ia: 4. The sermon embraced add
vice to the young converts how to hold
out in the Christian life. Rev. Mr.. SAT-
ford made a feeling address of farewell
to Mr.. Moody; and his closing words,
as he and Mr.. Moody clasped hands,
were especially impressive. The meet
ing closed with the benedictiOn by Mr..
Moody, the choir singing "The Sweet
Bye-and bye" as the great congrega
ton passed from the church. An in
quiry meeting followed, at the Baptist
church, which was very numerously at
tended. and Mr.. Moody was engaged
constantly in conversation and prayer
with inquirers, in the pastors room, till
seven o'clock, when he left for the de-
pot, taking the cars at 7.20 for Am
herst, Mass, where Mrs. Moody is stay
ing. He began his work at Manches-
ter, N. H., on Sunday.
Messrs. Whittle and McGranahan
closed their labOrs at Rutland the same
day, and left for Portsmouth, N. H.
The last meeting was attended by near
ly 1000 persons. During the services
there was an alarm of fire, which came
near creating serious panic within the
church. Hundreds sprang to their feet,
and one woman tainted but the ushers
and others succeeded in quieting the
audience. Nearly a hundred new in
quirers rose for prayers. The meetings
will be continued by local gospel work

1900 persons IN the church who were
wildly excited for few minutes until
they were quieted by Maj. Whittle and
others.
Lucius Robinson of Newport, di-
rector of the Passumpsic railroad, is re-
ported to have become involved in a
questionable transaction. The story is
that he acquired an interest in new
locomotive on the Montreal, Portland
and Boston railroad on condition that
he should not take it from the road.
He put it in the repair shops at Lyn-
donville, changed its furnace from a
coal to a wood burner, repaired it and
changed it's name, and put it on the line
between Lyndonville and White River
Junction. The engine has been seized
by the government authorities, and
Robinson is likely to be arrested for
smuggling, the penalty being forfeiture
of the property, fine of three times its
value and imprisonment.

has enveloped the fate of this daring
nobleman and his followers may be
cleared away. The story of their loss
while in search of the northwest passage
is too well known to be repeated here.
Thousands of dollars have been expend
ed in the search, and, while from time
to time have come rumors of success,
they have either proved only partially
true (such as the finding of unimportant
relics) or faded away entirely when
subjected to the test of a relief expe-
dition.
Now it is claimed that positive in

glefield, an Esquimaux settlement some
900 miles inland-a spot not yet reach

crest have been discovered in the pos
session of natives at Marble Island, and
from these people have been gathered

of a successful trace at last.

rounding her husbands fate, is now
beyond the hopes, the fears and the dis
appointments which encompassed her
in this world; yet, should the search
now being instituted prove successful
there must in every heart be a lingering
sense of disappointment that this lonely
woman did not live to see the consum-
nation of her life's work.
The yearning sympathy for suffering
which prompted our noble American
women to their many good works dur
ing our own war, has not died out dur
ing ten years and more of peace. An
association of ladies of this city has
been formed, under the name of the
Society of the Crescent and Cross, for
the purpose of aiding in the relief of
the wounded soldiers of both the Turk
ish and Russian armies, now in conflict
in the East. Another association has
also been formed, under the title of
''The Society of the Red Cross" but
with more restricted object, it's in
tended benticiaries being the wounded

The George Tragedy.---Death of the
Victim.

The death of Ellen A. George, at
London, N. H., last week, is the final
act in one of the most fearful and mon
strous crimes ever perpetrated-the
murder of Miss Ball, the young school
teacher at st. Adams, and the Lang
maid girl al Pembroke, being merciful
dispensatiOns in comparison. The case
of the George girl is briefly this /: Nearly
three years ago. in January, 1875, Chas.
Stevens, disreputable fellow, went to
the home of Mrs. George, a widow. and
representing himself to be a farmer,
living two miles away, engaged her
daughter, very pretty girl of sixteen,
to work in his family. The same day
the mother accompanied the girl to the
house of her employer and left her. A
few hours afterward she learned of
Stevens desperate character, and re-
turned with her oldest son to take her
daughter away. She found her daugh
ter had gone with Stevens, Ostensibly
to prayer meeting. Search was made,
the neighborhood reused, and about
nine in the evening, as Mr.. Stone and
others were approaching barn, just
over the line in Canterbury, and located
half a mile from any house, they heard
issuing from the building means and
cries of "murder" and ''save me, save
me-" They shouted back, and as they
reached the barn the girl ran out crazed
and deliriOus with fear, and cOnsidera-
BILE of her clothing torn from her body.
She was taken into the building about
six in the evening, and the shocking
barbarities to which she was subjected
during the three hours that elapsed be-
fore her rescue, were too terrible to be
related. From what Stevens said to
the girl there can be no doubt but that
if he had not been discovered he would
have murdered his victim, and then
burned the barn with the intent to have
destroyed the evidence of his crime.
After being rescued the George girl
was taken home delirious, aud for weeks
she seemed, as it were, just between
life and death. In her deliriums the
brutalities to which she had been sub
jected, all came to her and she had to
be held in bed, for she imagined that
Stevens was coming for her again. Al
one time she eluded those around hel
and fled from the house far into the
woods before she was found. At times
she would appear stronger and more
cheerful, but she was all the time grad.

years old, and had wife and children
ut the time. He is now serving out {

thus speaks of our Gov. Hendee, who
heads the list of Republicans on the
District of Columbia committee: "He
has already served with it one term,
and no member of the old committee
gave the interests of the District more
conscientious attention. He made only
one mistake during his last years SER
vice, and that was to investigate the
Star, to endeavor to find out how it
succeeded in distancing its competitors
