- Are dreaming of bugles and drums,
He cuts through the snow like ship through
While the white flakes around him whirl;
VINO tells MIN know not, but he findeth the
OF each good little boy and girl.
His sleigh it is long, and deep, and wide:
1t will carry host of things,
while dozens OF drums hang round on the
sides,
With the sticks sticking under the strings.
And yet, not the sound Of drum is heard,
Not bugle-blast is blown,
AS ne mounts to the chimney top like bird,
And pops down In like stone.
The little red stocking he silently fills,
Till the stockings will hold no more:
The bright little sleds for the great snow hills
Are quickly let down to the fioOr.
Then Santa Claus mounts to the roof like q
bird,
And glides to his seat in the sleigh;
Not the sound of a bugle or drum is heard
As he noiselessly drives away.
He rides to the east, he rides to the west,
OF his goodies he touches not one; r
He eateth the crumbs of the Christmas feast
When the dear little folks are done.
He dOeth for us whatever he can;
This beautiful mission is his;

tackled the Department of Agriculture
at Washington. 1t was q disgrace to
the Nation, he remarked, and its scien-
tiic researches were far inferior to
those of many private societies. Moth
ing short of q radical change in its
character and scope would make it USE
full. The farming community had had.
SO tar, no voice in the appointment
of its head. Agriculture, being
non-sectional and non-political, the
Department should be independent of
politics. Heads of Department Bureaus
should be men competent to act as a
National Advisory Board, with suffi-
Gent power and means to carry on in
vestigations in connection with the
Faculties of Agricultural colleges. Re-
forms in the Department would result
in real saving to the Government. Pro-
lessor Riley was in favor of the bill
now before the House for the establish
ment OF National Agricultural Board.
The establishment of such a Commits
sion would serve to increase the eff
cheney of the Department of Agricult-
ure. relieve the Commissioner from too
much responsibility, and prevent un-
wise individual action.
P. j. Quinn, Secretary of the New
Jersey State Board of Agriculture. in
seconding the motion to publish Pro-
lessor Riley's paper, said. among other
things, that the Department Of Agri-
culture was an entirely useless institu-
ton.
The question of pleuro-pneumonia as
a cattle disease was discussed by Robert
j. Dodge, Vice-President of the Farm
ers' Club, and Mr.. Gentry, of Missouri;
and committee was appointed to draft
a memorial to Congress with view to
enlisting the aid of the Government in
preventing the ravages of the disease.
