" DOctOred" MerinOs,


The Augusta (Maine) Home Farm has
the following; at is no secret that in Yer
mont and some other states where Merino
sheep are Bred breeders and those who deal
in them resort to a method of doctoring
them for the market, which, to say the least,
is disreputable and unjust. If the rams
and ewes sold are thoroughbred sheep of
undoubted purity, there may not be so much
crime in 'dootoring them for sale as in
case of grade or inferior bred sheep; be-
cause it is generally allowable to fit show an
imals for exhibition, and to trim, fit or
prepare animals for sale. A sleek, well-fed,
clean animal will sell better than rough
and scurvy one; and deception may be
practiced upon the buyer by such course,
But where grade animal of any class is
sold for thoroughbred, or an inferior one
80 trimmed as to cover up its defects, such
transfer is not mere trick of the trade -
it becomes crime, and should be punish
able offence. Untold injury is done to a
good cause, and gross injustice practiced
upon innocent and unsuspectiDg persons by
such course. The sooner it is shown up
and farmers put on their guard against ire
sponsible jockeys in such stock, the true
cause of breeding will be served the more
readily thereby"

Yick,s Illustrated MONTHLY.

In the enforced contraction of our agricul-
tural department during the legislative ses-
sion, one of the things that has been neg
lected is to notice the receipt, from the
publishers, of set of four very beautifully
bound volumes of the above magazine.
Every gardener in America knew and es-
teemed James Wick thousands, indeed,
loved him like personal friend and hardly
the murdered Garfield was more heartily
mourned in the homes of the people than
was this noble and generous horticulturist,
whose work, in these volumes, we have re-
ceived and read with sincerest pleasure.
The business of the lamented Wick is still
continued by his sons, under the old name
of james Vick," and not only the Annual
Guide, but also the Monthly Magazine, is
maintained in full vigor, and under the
ablest editorship. Those who have the last
report of our Board of Agriculture will see
there, as frontispiece, one of the lovely
colored plates that monthly adorn Vick's
Magazine, which, in addition, is fully illus
trated in every department by fine wood
cuts. The price is sl.5O year, or in clubs
of five, only $l00 Address James Wick,

A Keen Rebuke.

He was commercial traveller on his way
from Bowling Green to Hopkinsville, Ky.
There was a wait of three hours at Guthrie,
and party of young ladies, with lively
young married persons acting as matrons,
made the station ring with merriment.
They were going to visit Mammoth Cave.
The face of one of them is a study-a per-
feet oval, yet with that rich, warm brunette
tint that you see more often in the Latin
races than in the Anglo-Saxon Her eyes
looked out from under the broad brim of a
Gainesborough hat, through halfclosed lids,
wonderfully tantalizing in their subdued
mirth, coquetry and love of life, lightly
yelled with the laziness of good breeding.
The brassy and dapper little wretch of
drummer has been watching the girls as
cat would bevy of frolicsome and unso-
phisticated mice. Hastily seizing and re-
turning handkerchief accidentally dropped
by the Gainesborough beauty, he seeks, with
the audscity of his class, to open the con-
yersation. "a very gay party you have,
miss" "Yes," says she, quietly bowing
acknowledgment of the handkerchief and
letting her laughing eyes drift slowly over
him; "but then, you see, We know each
other" A very keen remark, keen as a Da-
mascus blade, but perfectly lady-like in its
unrutflsd good temper. The drummer

Seeding to Grass.

in note to the Farmer, gives his process of
seeding to grass, which our readers will
recognize as the same as that frequently
advised in these columns. Mr.. Shaw says
My soil is light loan. plow in the
fall. In the spring, as soon as can work
the soil, haul my manure and spread on
from fifteen to twenty loads to the acre, and
then run three-tooth cultivator as much
as can across the furrow. | then let it
stand one or two days for the ground to dry,
and then it is ready for the harrow. SOW

Did He, or Didn't He 7

The Brdnleboro Phenir prints this para
graph at the head of its agricultural depart
ment:
The National Grange, at its recent session held
at Indianapolis passed resolutions condemning
Commissioner Loring for suppressing the re-
port OF committee OF eminent chemists in re-
lation to the investigation of DR.. Peter Collier,
chemist Of the department Of agriculture on the
capabilities OF sorghum as sugar producing
plant The resolutions ask for the immediate
publication Of the complete report, for the aid OF
farmers in a new industry strangely neglected
by an officer who has apparently for many months
been unmindful OF public duty"
This charge was brought against the com
missioner by large number of newspapers
before being thus noticed by the National
Grange, and we have in these columns stated
it, on such good authority, as fact. But
in the last Maine Farmer we find the follow
ing:
DR.. Loring, commissioner OF agriculture, in his
report just published, says that the report Of the
committee OF the National academy of science on
sorghum culture and the work of the department
of agriculture was withdrawn by the committee
after 1t presented but has since been returned
and will be issued in volume by itself. He says
it is valuable report, giving history OF cane
sugar production in this country and compare
tive value Of the diffe varieties Of sorghum
for sugar production.
Now, while we regard DR.. Loring as hav-
ing greatly abused the trust confded in him,
as commissioner, in regard to the sorghum
business, we do not mean to do him the
slightest injustice, and if he is really not
guilty of suppressing that report we are glad
to know it, and to make it known. But
there is something not quite clear about it
yet, and we hope to have the matter more
fully explained.

Feeding Cotton Seed Meal.

A correspondent of the Journal of A gricul
ture says; "After long experience, find
the safest ration to be one quart cottonseed
meal, one quart of corn meal and one of
bran, given twice a day, for COW in full
milk. The effect of cottonseed meal on the
butter is to harden it, to give it good
texture, and fine nutty flavor. l must
advise all to pay great attention to their
COWS, while on this meal they should never
have it within two months of calving, or
within ten days afterwards, and it should
be given in small quantities at first, grad
ually increasing until the animal gets used
to it. The best plan is to mix one ton of
corn meal, one ton of bran, and one ton of
cottonseed meal, on floor, and then your
men will not be able to use too much of the
last material, as they are very apt to do if
they get chance; seeing how much good a
small quantity does, they are naturally in
clined to try doubling it."

more to me than any grain l could have
raised on the same land, and my stock was
not half killed out by lodged grain, 80
have good healthy stock for next year. l
know of some that have plowed in the ma
nure to stock down who have had to plow
up the manure and stock over to get the
benefit of their manure. Some stock in fall,
but they often lose all the clover. have
the best luck stocking in spring. think
that many farmers might double their hay
crop if they would manage this way in
stocking their land. know of many farm
ers that will manure their land we'll and
then plant it. The next year they SOW it to
some kind of grain, and stock it they have
cropped so much that it leaves the ground in
poor condition to hold out long, and they
wonder why their grass crop don't hold out
better. My reason for working my manure
on the surface of the soil is that the grass
roots will get more vigorous start, and it
lasts longer. When manure is plowed in,
it will take the grass a long time to start
and the dry and hot weather will dry it up
so that will hurt it for crop the first year !;
and great many roots will never reach the
manure, so will not produce as good root
as it will when worked in with the manure"

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.

The children kept coming, one by one,
TIL the boys were nve and the girls were three,
And the big brown house was alive with fun
From the basement floor to the old roof tree;
Like garden flowers tho little ones grew,
. Nurtured and trained with the tenderest carei
Warmed by loves sunshine, bathed In its dew,
They bloomed into beauty, like roses rare.
But one Of the boys grew weary one day,
And leaning his head on his mothers breast
lie said 81 am tired and cannot play;
Let me all awhile on your knee and rest"
She Graded him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him TO sleep with her sweetest song,
And rapturous love still lighted his face
When his spirit had Joined the heavenly throng
Then the eldest girl with her thoughtful eyes
Who stood where the brook and the river meet"
Stole softly away into Paradise
Ere the river" had reached her slender feet.
While the fathers eyes on the graves are bent
The mother looked upward beyond the sklesi
" Our treasures" she whispered, were only lent
Our darngs were angels in earth's disguise"
The years flew by, and the children began
with longing to think Of the world optsldei
And as each, in bis turn, became man.
The boys proudly went from the fathers aide.
The girls were women 80 gentle and fair
That lovers were speedy TO WOO and wlni
And, with orange blossoms in braided'har,
The old home was left, new homes begin. {
So, one by one, the children have gone--
The boys were Ave and the girls were ihreei
And the big brown house ia gloomy and lone, \
With but two old folks for IL company.
They talk to each other about the past
As they ait together at eventlde,
And say" All the children we keep at last
Are the boy and girl who in childhood died"

How He Did 1t.

The Providence (Rhode Island) Press is
publishing some very severe criticisms upon
Commissioner Loring's conduct in regard to
the sorghum experiments, and makes the
following statement as to the alleged with
drawal of the national academy committees
report, which was put forward by the COM
missioner as his excuse for not printing it.
Z" From the day of DIR. Lorings appoint
every obstacle which his ingenuity could
invent and his jealous meanness conceive to
hinder the success of experiments under
way and to prevent the making of new ones.
He asked the National Academy of Science
to investigate and report upon the expert
ments of DR.. Collier with the evident hope
and expectation that the report would be
unfavorable; and when it was received he
denounced it as a defense of my chemist
Then he set about trying to suppress it, and
by cajolery and Misrepresentation at last
succeeded in having it withdrawn and in
ducing Senator Window not to insist upon
his resolution directing that copy be sent
to the senate. Now that the report of the
academy has been sent in again, without
the expunging of a single material word or
statement which it at first contained, and
and with stronger endorsement than be-
fore of DR.. Golfers methods and conclu,
sions, Loring has been compelled by public
sentiment to allow an abstract of it to
reach the public, accompanied by tardy
promise that the whole shall be published.
In this he bowed to necessity, for he was
made aware of the fact that the national
academy would insist on the publication /;
but even now the commissioner, unable to
resist his tendency to Misrepresentation, has
procured the publication of an untrue state
ment in the Boston Journal, to the effect
that the original report was suppressed
by the national academy until it could be
carefully revised and its misstatements
corrected"

of Suitings and Remnants on
hand, which we are anxious
to dispose of before getting
in our Spring Goods for 1888.
We purpose keeping our help
at work during the dull sea-

disposed of by order will be
made up in our best manner
and sold at a great reduction
on former prices. Any one
wishing to get a good gar

NOT A MERRY WAR"
Opera :7anaSers Who are Fighting Each
Other shovel and longs

OIh~r siiuvei and Tonss.
The quarrel between the two companies
WHO are advertised to sing the new comic
opera OF g Ioianthe " in this city has as
| S'imed the most bitter intensity. TIE facts
of the case wele given in our edition of
yesterday, but last evening the kice party
resOrted to q measure that served most
etfcctually TO arouse the ire of their rivals,
add winch regarded from the standpoint of
common fairness is hardly to be applauded
as in accordance with the ethics OF
Operatic management AS is known, the
Snyder Il Grau people advertise to produce
the opera here to night, the 10Th large
number of seats have been sold, and many
people shaped their purposes so as.to be-
able to attend this performance. Mir.
Rlce's representative, who arrived upon
the scene yesterday, and who claims that
the Snyder Il Grau patty have no right to
give the opera, sinca the management
represented by himself had paid liberal
sum for the privilege, finding himself
unable to dissuale or frighten the
rival organization from their al
legged unwarrantable position. last
evening caused to be circulated a small
handbill, bearing in conspicuous letters the
ola change of date" and
that "1Jlanthe' was "not coming until
Wednesday,, january "a" the latter being
the date for the Rice performance. This
action coming to the knowledge of the
of Messrs. Snyder & Grau,
vino had dropped into town to look after
the interests of his company, resulted in
getting the agents mad up, and he
promptly countered on the coup of his
adversary, by having another circular
printed with the glaring headline of
g Fraud" in big white letters on back
ground of black. These have been thrown
over the town, and the declaration is made
that the announcement of a postponement
was the act of some unscruplous person,
and wholly without foundation, and that |
the Snyder & Grau opera company will |
positively produce ''Iolanthe FRIDAY
'Oeaeng, Junuary 10, which is to night.
AS there are no indications of resort |
% legal measures restraining to-night's |
performance, there is no reason to believe |
hat the production Of the opera will |
utter any interruption, and as the quarrel |
las only served to whet the appetite of |
he impartial public, it is likely that each
company will receive its share of patron
ige in proportion to it's merits irrespec-
i've of the supposed grievances of man
'gers Or of any other consideration.
