Boy Farmers IN Maine.

The boy farmers are eXcelling the old
er heads in farming. They have i'm
mensely more enthusiasm, more go-ahead
and it begins 70 look as though they know
more about raising large crops than theil
fathers do. 1t will he remembered that
over six hundred of our Maine boys last
year competed for tie Allcn corn prizes.
and that the larger part Of them report
ed having raised at the rate of over lW
bushels OF shellcd corn per acre, while
many raised over 80 bushels. Il few 2OC
bushels, and one 240 bushels.
Now we have reports published in the
New England Farmer, what the Vermont
farmer boys ysaccomplished last year in com
peting for prizes for corn and potato rails
ing offered by the trustees of the Vermont
Agricultural college. One hundred and
two boys sent in reports of their corn cro[
on one-eighth of an acre. OF these, 81
raised over 80 bushels Of shelled corn PEI
acre thirty -four raised at the rate Of l0(
or more bushels, twelve. no bushels
five raised at the rates respectively OF
ia, II1, Il9, I2i and i22 bushels. These
figures, when compared with the average
yield OF corn. in the state of ermont
which was ;}@ bushels per acre in 1873
make favorable showing in favor of the
boy farmers us compared with the men
farmers
lnp0tato raising, one hundred and five
boys reported the yield of one eighth o.
an acre Of Early Rose potatoes. OF these
forty nine raised at the rate Of 300 OF
more bushels per acre, while five who
won the prizes, raised at the rate Of 443
Al, $50, 457, and $50 bushels per acre
The average yield ofpotatoes, in Vermont
in 1878, was l40 bushels per acre.
These figures speak well for the enter
prise and skill Of the boy farmers in Yer.

have shown that they have enthusiasm

How Long to Keep Sheep.

Maj. /. c. Bryan, of Georgia, writes in
bis Southern Farmers Monthly, that there
are few animals kept on the farm which,
ID their prime, pay as well as do sheep,
and there are very few if any others, upon
whom old age has such a damaging eff
leet. AS the sheep is much shorter lived
lhan any other of our domestic animals,
IL Is not strange that many farmers at
Tempt to keep them too long. At ten
Years Of age horse is in his prime, and
q COW is as good as ever, with the pros
pect of remaining so several years longer,
Gut the sheep is very old when it reaches
the age Of ten, the natural limit of the
Term Of its life. After reaching this age,
Sineep are very likely to be injured by the
sight exposures which would do young
ANIMALS no harm. They are more liable
10 be attacked by disease, and if they live
they will be likely to produce less wool
ana smaller lambs than they have done
previously. We do not think it pays, eX-
gyept, perhaps, in special instances, to
Keep sheep after they are six or seven
Years old.

A Pleasing Incident.

The National Republican Washington contains
the following relative to 4 meeting Of GG-t,oy.
Connor OF Maine with lady who had rendered
him service while he was sufferer from his
wounds in the hospital:
Nearly twenty years ago, when the dark cloud
of war hung over the land, and Washington was
one great military camp, with a number of hospi-
tails in various parts of the city crowded with sick,
| suffering and dying men, some noble kind heart
ed ladies were in the habit of visiting these hospi-
tails daily, and by cheerful words or a smiling
face or the gift of some decacy helped to tighten
the sutferings of those they found there Among
these ladies was Miss Ransom the gifted artist,
now so well known III the city. She was engaged
at that time ID painting the port ant of Judge Chase
and the portraits of other distl sushed men, and
her time was very valuable, but she never allowed
anything to interfere with her visit of two hours
each day to the suffering soldiers In hospital
on | street there was young officer OF a Maine
regiment whose leg had been amputated The
operation a severe one and the bleeding very
protusc. Too weak to bear the taking up of the
artery, the only hope for his life was by having
| some one remain beside him with the finger press
ed on the artery. His father equal to the task
and by his devotion saved the life of his son
Miss Ransom saw him while so i'll, and assisted
him in whatever way she could, and spoke words
of encouragement to him. but finally lost sight of
him. and supposed he had died, and one more had
been added to the roll of honor A few evenings
since, while spending a social evening with Mrs
Garfield at the White House she noticed tall
line looking gentleman observing her very closely
but, as she did not remember ever having seen him
before, paid little attention to it. AS she was
| leaving the room to return to her home the gen
tleman came up to her and asked, is this Miss
Ransom , She smilingly replied it was, but l DO
not remember YOU The gentleman then asked
her if she remembered Douglas Hospital, and her
visits to the sufferers there, and particularly the
case OF the young man whose life was prolonged
| by his fathers devotion Yes, she remembered it,
Well, he replied i was that patient, and have
never forgotten your kindness, and when | saw
your face tonight | felt | must speak to you.
The speaker was Ex-Governor Connor, of Maine,
and the meeting was a pleasant incident in the
life of Miss Ransom and to have earned the graft
tude of even one individual repaid her for all the
sacrifices she had ever made.

of ahs0lbents. They have quite a number
