FRED A. SEIDERs.
State of Maine Knox County, IS. Noyem-
Der 1S, 1879. Then personally appeared the
above named Fred A. Seiders and made oath
to the truth of the above affidavit by him sub
scribed.
Before me- d. ?. ROSE,
Justice of the Peace.
Mr.. Seiders backs up his own affidavit with
three others from citizens of Union. These
affidavits show that Linscott has denounced
the charge that he sold his vote as d ID lie;
that he has given as his reason for voting the
Republican ticket that his father so voted; and
that he has asserted that he had tried TO
prevail upon others to vote the Republican
ticket, declaring d week before the alleged
conversat on with Soldiers that he should do
his best to carry the vote in favor OF the Re-
publicans. 1t would seem that Linscott is
monumental fraud.

Before me, JOHN c. FRIEND,
Trial Justice.
Following the lead of the Rockland Opinion,
a paper of unsavory reputation, the Boston
Globe recently published an affidavit purport
ing to be signed by one Elbridge D. Linscott
of Union, in which Linscott alleged that Mr..
Fred A. Soldiers of that town offered him 81 to
vote the Republican ticket; that he rejected
the offer and that then Soldiers for whom he
was at work, threatened to discharge him If he
did not vote the Republican ticket; that to
avoid being discharged he consented and rode
with Seiders to the polls and there voted as
directed by the latter. Mr.. Soldiers, who is
one of the most respected men in Union,
makes answer to these accusations as follows:
I. Fred A. Seiders, of Union, Maine, do
hereby depose and say that the statements in
the affidavit of Elbridge ID. Linscott, publish
ed in the Rockland Opinion of the 14th inst,
alleging that offered to pay and did pay him
the sum of two dollars to induce him to vote
the Republican ticket, that l told him he
could not work for me if he voted the Green
back ticket, and that he had got to vote the
Republican ticket or / would discharge him,
are false in every particular: that there is no
foundation in fact for the statement that ]
ever in any manner or at any time attempted
to improperly influence him in the matter of
voting; and that no such conversation as he
therein states, or anything even substantially
or approximately like it, ever occurred between
us.
1t is true that said Linscott was at work for
me at the time of last September election, that
he harnessed the horse for me and rode with
me to the town hall, and remained with me
while there.

at any time offered to pay or did pay any sum
of money to said Linscott to influence his vote,

Republican ticket; that [ never in any way

Shelter for Stock.

Good shelter of some kind
should be provided for all stock.
Stock cannot thrive if left ex-
posed to the storms of winter.
With much more food given
them when exposed, they will
come out in spring in poorer
condition. The old saying that
shelter is food is a good one.
The meaning Of it is, that ami
mails require less food if they
have warm shelters. 1t matters
not whether they are tied up in
stables or have an abundance of
shed room with plenty of straw
for bedding. To get pay for the
food eaten they must have e.
nough to keep growing, thriving.
If they have neither gain or loss
of flesh, all the feed that is given
them brings no return, only to
carry them through winter in
the same condition they entered
it. If there is a gain of flesh
there is a return for what has
been fed them, and the more gain
the better the return.

Cut Worms.

A writer gives this plan of
destroying the cut worm:-"Last
year | caught thousands, and the
present season | have had no need
to dig them out, as was necessa-
ry previously, on hand and knees.
The plan is to procure two half
barrels. Set these in the garden
or field. Put foot of water in
each tub and pour a thin film of
kerosene oil over the water
Put brick or stone in the water,
and stand a common lantern up
on this at night, through July
and August. The moths will
fly to the light and will drop in
to the water and oil, a touch of
the latter being fatal. The loss
from the rayagesof these insects is
becoming ruinous to many farm
ers; some Of them spending 500
yearly in replanting alone what
has been destroyed"
