Profit Of stock Raising.

Stock raising ought to be regarded as
the most certainly profitable of any
branch of farming in this country.
Breeding has been reduced to such a
science that the animal itself has been
brought into a condition of availability,
that, under intelligent care, insures the
fullest possible results. We have CON
structed q piece of living mechanism
which is delicately sensitive to every
touch of kindness, and will respond
profitably to all that we judiciouslyfeed
It. Our beef and pork producing ami
mails could not we'll be better fitted for
the accomplishment of the object for
which they are bred. They are fully
equipped by nature and careful breed
ing to turn valuable feed into greater
and more easily handled value, and to
convert much that is found upon every
farm, and that is comparatively worth
less in its natural state, into solid profit.
The means, the machinery, the prime
beginning of making this branch of
agriculture profitable, therefore, are at
hand, and only need to be utilized; and
if they are utilized, we are further en-
couraged by.a knowledge that there is
naturally a good, steady profit and
growing demand for our products. Com
binations and monopolies, stock yards,
railroads and dishonesty among middle
men, often divert the general course Of
the markets, and inflict loss, compare
tive or complete, upon the stock raiser.
But it is believed that the common sense
and a consciousness of the right and
duty of self-protection among the
American people, will ultimately result
in measures Of relief from all such in
justice, and leave the meat producer
free to supply the demands OF
consumption upon the legitimate
basis Of supply and demand. And
when that Is done there can
be no question of the increased profita-
bleness of beef, pork and mutton produc-
ton. The people not only of this, but
of other countries, are vast meat con-
sumers, too much so, doubtless, for
their own good. But our business is
not to reform the world in its habits Of

Another Pole Maniac.

O"SJ"S VA W0AnAGA
away upon his proposed expedition by
balloons to the North Pole. 1t is stated
that he has three committees working in
his interests in Canada, three in the
United States, and one in London, and
there is imminent danger that he may
be successful in raising the necessary
funds to equip his expedition.
Commander Cheyne's proposition in
brief is to go by steamer to Smiths
Sound, on the west shore of Greenland,
which is about five hundred miles away
from the pole, and winter there. In
the spring he will make the rest of the
distance in balloons, three of them, each
with a capacity Of two and a half tons,
carrying his whole party, materials.
provisions, dogs and men, provided the
dogs; who have considerable sense, do
not refuse to go. Why he needs dogs
if he is going by balloon he has not
stated. He has perfect faith that he
will make these five hundred miles in
twenty-four hours, and tie himself to
the pole by his trail ropes, his theory
being that the wind blows around the
pole in curves, and that as soon as the
balloons strike these curves they
will whirl round like tops, gradually
narrowing their circuits until at last
they settle upon the exact spot. Being
then in the very core Of a lively wind
maelstrom, he does not show us how he
will disembark OF how he will secure
his balloons in snch a raging cave Of
Boreas. There is a great deal of I'M
certainty about the capabilities Of the
pole as a hitching-post. If the winds
blow in curves of continually diminish
ing size, all concentrating upon the
pole, how is he to take the back track!
Suppose, again, that the force of grav7
ity should not work we'll in the apex,
what is to hinder the whole crowd from
being whirled off the world altogether
into the illimitable limbo Of space,
where no searching party "a go after
themp Innumerable contingencies pre-
sent themselves which suggest that
Commander Cheyne, wen il he should
get there, will never come back again.
As it has been over and over again
demonstrated that no one car get to the
pole, as it would be of no practical con
Sequence to a human soul if any one
should get there, and as the relief expe-
ditions which are continually hunting up
these pole maniacs are much more ex-
pensive than the expeditions they are
hunting for, Commander Cheyne
should be required to sign a paper to the
effect that if he does not return no one
shall go in search Of him. II he does
return, all right. No one will begrudge
him his fame. No one will question his
word if he says he has discovered the
pole and climbed it, OIL hitched his flag
to it, as no one cares a button for it one
way or the other. He may claim it as
his own property and no n will dis
pute the title to it. But if he does not
return he should be required to release
all mankind from the necessity of hunt
ing him up Chicago Tribune.

An Enthusiastic silk.Culturist.

Cannot girls raise silk as well as boysp
eyes, BETTER" says a girl who ought
to know, for she has been raising silk
herself for two years. ''Of course, boys
can feed the worms as well as girls; but
when it m to handling the delicate
fbers, for reeling or other purposes, the
girls deft fingers give them the advan-
tage."
This particular girl began raising
silk when she was thirteen years old;
and now she has become so interested
in silk that she devotes all her time to
the subject.
AS her family lived in the heart of the
city, where there were no null
berry trees, she and her father used to
start out at four o'clock every morning
in the feeding-season and walk to the
park, to gather fresh leaves for her
worms.
This little girls father helped her
very kindly. He made frames for her
to v with nets for her feeding-trays;
and, after awhile, actually moved to q
house nearer the park, so that she
would not have so far to go for the null
berry leaves. So now they have only q
mile to go, and need not start on their
morning walk till about five o'clock.
"Where do you feed your worms in
the rearing season." we asked.
Fright here in this room,' she re-
piled. But as they grow we have to
spread them out over three rooms,
though our frames are five stories high
that is, there are five tiers Of trays. (
raise SO many worms now that my
father and two brothers have to help me
carry home leaves for them every
morning. and sometimes the boys have
to go again in the evening. But it 10
only for a few days that the worms eat
SO much.-C. NJ. st. Dcnys, in st.

IT Is difficult thing for some men to get
credit for good action. The New York
papers are ac ually laughing at Jay Gould
for taking night train off the elevated
road because its tendency is to increase dis
sipation and debauchery. Mr.. Gould finds
that the patrons of that particular train are
patrons also of gin-mills and other name
less establishments, and that public morals
wi be benefited by not making the path
easy for young men to stay down town very
la at night. He doubtless thinks that
those who remain down ON legitimate busi-
ness ought to be willing to sacrifice their
convenience to the general good. 1t is true
that this view of The case falls in exactly
with the pecuniary interests of the elevated
road, but that does not prove anything nee
essarily. The lack of confidence some peo-
pie have in human nature is one of the most
discouraging signs of tie times.

The Congressional Apportionment.

Many suggestions have been made 10 re-
gard to the new Congressional apportion-
ment In this State, most of them well worth
considering. We have seen none better than
the plan of redstricting that Senator Nc
Laugblin of Cumberland purposes to submit
to the committee having the matter in
charge. The plan is given in our Augusta
sisting of York and Cumberland counties, is
unchanged. The Second District, now COM
posed Of the counties of Androscoggin, OK
ford, Franklin, and Sagadahoc, is changed,
Franklin being thrown into the new Third
District. while Lincoln is taken from the old
Third, and Knox from the old Third and
Fifth. The old Third embraced Kennebec.
Somerset, Lincoln, and portion Of Knox.
The proposed new Third consists of Frank
lin, Somerset, Kennebec, Waldo and Ham
cock The new Fourth differs from the old
Fourth only by the addition of Washington,
which falls in from the extinguished Fifth
District, and as proposed will consist of Pc
nobscot, Piscataquis, Aroostook, and Wash
ington. OF what was once the Fifth Dis
trict, Waldo and Hancock are placed in the
Third, Washington in the Fourth, and the
seven towns Of Knox in the Second.
By this plan no county is divided. A
glance at the map will show that the terri
tory embraced in each District is compact,
that equality in population is preserved SO
far as can be done without disregard of
hot <bo hou
the smaller population are those that are
reasonably expected to increase the most
rapidly during the present decade. The
plan has certainly many advantages and no
disadvantages obvious to us. Whether it be
the best plan is for the Legislature in its
wisdom to determine. 1t assuredly merits
the most careful consideration.

himself Emperor at the open grave of bis

fill good many graves, and, unless all the
signs are false, there will he many more
graves opened before the sacred festival is
finished at Moscow.
