The 20 vols. complete, containing over

A New Sheep Breeders Association.

There has been for some time grow
ing dissatisfaction in the Vermont Me-
rino Sheep Breeders Association, aris-
ing chiefly from The admission to its
register of sheep outside of Vermont I;
and in part from the admission of sheep
which ought not to have been admitted.
of those disafiected at the Addison
House in Middlebury August II, at
which such men as Colonel L. IS. Stow
ell and r. j. Jones of Cornwall, Charles
Sanford and Geo. Hall of Orwell, Geo.
Hammond, Middlebury, F. G. Barton,
Waltham, Henry Thorp, Charlotte, s.
G.. Holyoke, st. Adams, Henry Cham
berlin, Grand Isle, and many others,
were present. ts
After pretty full canvass of the mat
ter. they took action in the formation of
a "Vermont Atwood Merino sheep
breeders club" of which E. s. Stowell
was chosen president and Geo. Ham
mond secretary. The club propose to
confine their membership strictly 10
Vermont.
The sheep business is on the flood
tide again. Quite recently on the west
side we heard of such prices as two
thousand, dollars being offered and re-
fused for single buck, and fifteen hun.
dred dollars paid fol, a half interest, in
another, and such prices were by. nc
means infrequent. .t4.s

Mountain Freeman, published at Mont
pelier, was published by the authority
of the gentlemen named, and if the rca

that with ruminants fat Is not
from either starch or sugar.
Now. where can two men be found IN
the world more capable of Judging IN
regard to this question than thew And
vet, we are told that chemists agree In
the opposite view.
That starch and sugar have an i'm
portant work to perform In the animal
economy, have more than once shown.
They protect the fat from destruction
and stop the decomposition Of The al
lbuminoids ut the point where they have
been changed into fat; but tia larger
quantity is given in the food than is
necessary for this. protection, 1t is an
absolute waste-it goes to produce heat
hat is not needed, aud which the AMI
NAL gets rid of by drinking an extra
quantity of water. II is claimed by
Volt that with mich cows the quantity
of starch furnished in the ration should
be less than that required for the fullest
protective Influence, because with sc
! much deposit of flesh and fat in the
system at large is favored which il
prejudicial to milk production.
The evidence, therefore, is altogether
against view, put forth so positively,
that starch and sugar may be converted
by COWS into butter. II is one of those
cases, of which we find by far too many
in our current livestock literature, in
which farmers are taught to base theil

The Dignity OF ONCE.

A Detroiter, who was rusticating in
one of the wilderness counties of Mich.
igan, was one day out hunting, when
he came upon hamlet consisting of 9
saw-miil, two houses, and a log barn
The sign of Postoffice" greeted his
vision over door in one of the houses,
and he investigated. The Office was ali
eight-by-ten room, and the boxes fol
mail matter numbered just four. A
written sign OH the wall announced thai
the mail arrived and departed once 9
week, and the postmaster sat behind @
pine table reading the Postal Guide y
and chewing sassafras root.
"Any letter for John -?" asked
the Detroiter, as he looked around.
The postmaster didn't shake his head
and crush the inquirer's hope all al
once, as some officials do, but slowly
arose, looked carefully into each one OF
the four empty boxes, peered into an
old cigar box on the window-sill, and
then answered:
al don't see anything Just now, but
it is only four days to the next mail"
Is this q money-order Officer" con-
tinued the stranger.
Well, no, not exactly, though we
handle considerable money here"
"Can l get dollars worth of threes? P"
asked the Detroiter, after a pause.
Well, no not exactly" replied the
official, looking into his wallet. 81
guess l can spare you five or six now
and the rest next week."
There was another pause as the post
master vainly tried to make change for
a quarter, and the Detroiter finally re-
marked: ....
"This isn't rated as fiji st.class post
office, is it?" nIfoatNA .-lf.ss.
=" Well, no, not exactly" twas the con-
fidential reply. (" Fact is, we don't do
very rushing business here, and some
times / think 1t would pay me better to
60 back to the farm"

year here, do your" - ,..,-..v...,.. /
" Well, no, not exactly; but / don't
look at that altogether. The position
that it'gives us in society here must be
taken into. consideration, you know"
