PROFESSOR GOLFERS REMovAL.-Pro.
fessor Collier, chief chemist of the agri
cultural department, about whom a GOOD
deal has been said in Vermont, frs,
and last. has been summarily removed
and Prof Tyler of Indiana has been
appointed in his stead. 1t is understood
that there have long been differences
between Professor Collier and the com
missioner of agriculture as to the impor
tance of the sorghum sugar industry.
One correspondent says that if Professor
Collier could have his way he wculd
devote the entire appropriation of III,

sugar.

The remark of lone correspondent il

his valuable investigations with very
moderate appropriation, and asked for no
increase. But Commissioner Loring, in
order 10 break up what he called Golfers
"dam. ed foolishness," sent word to the

But the talsiier's rely upon neither editors

REVIVAL OF ANCIENT FARMING INDUS.

sheep raising, which industry has been
sadly neglected among our farmers since
the days OF their fathers and grandfathers
This delcine in what was once profitable
branch of New England farming is owing,
in a great measure, to :he ravages of sheep
killing dogs, which nave resulted in great
loss to the farmers. Last July the Mass
achusetts society for the promotion of
agriculture imported 81 choice rams at a
cost OF 500 each, which itafterward leased
to the farmers in different sections of the
commonweall llh as result of that impor.
tation about 1000 high grade lambs will
be bred in the state the present spring.
Next June the same society will import
100 thoroughbred ewes and after calling
in all the leased rams, both these ard the
ewes will be sold at public auction for the
benefit of all who may desire TO purchase;

week he shipped one to market which
was but 10 days old. weighing 27 pounds

how quickly can get rich by so doing,
and how many such concerns they have

AS the best butter is worth say 40 cents II

less, do not think that the farmer of the

beguiled by these advertisers and aduter-

PETER COoPER's ILLUSTRATION OF
UsURY.-Mr. Cooper was always careful
and prudent business man. He was always
opposed to the methods of many merchants,
who launched out into ex,ravagant enter
pri,es on borrowed money for which thev
paid exorbtant rates of interest. Once,
while talking about project with an
acquaintance, the latter sad he would
have to borrow the money for six months
paving interest at the rate of per cent
"Wny do you borrow for 80 short timee'
Mr.. Cooper asked. because the broker,
vii not negotiate ills for longer" "Well.
if you WISH" said Mr.. Cooper, II will
discount your note at that rate for three
years" "Are you in earnestp" asked the
would-be borrower. Certainly I am. l
will discount your note for $4,000 for
three years at that rate. Will you do IT.?
"Of course WILL" said the merchant.
Very well.' said Mr.. Cooper; 'just
sign this note for $4,000, payable in
three years, and give me your check for
$500. and the transaction is complete. !"
but where is the money for mep' asked
the astonished merchant You don't get
any Money" was the reply. Your inter-
est for SO months, at per centum per
month, amounts to 108 per centum, or
$40 800; therefore your check for $500
Just makes US even." The force of this
practical illustration of the folly of paying
such an exorbitant price for the use Of
money was such that the merchant deter
mined never to borrow at such ruinous
rates, and he frequently used to say that
nothing could have so fully convinced him
as this rather humorous proposal by Mr..
Cooper-Mw York Evening Post.

I The EARTH STRUCK BY A COMET
This occurred some thirty thousand years
ago, if we are able to believe Mr.. Ignatius
Donnelly, who has written a book to
prove that the earth must have passed
| through the tail of the comet, not only
once, but many times; and he claims there
is abundant evidence on the surface of our
globe to prove that this catastrophe really
occurred. The great deposits of unstrati
| fed clay which are found in so many
quarters, especially in the northern hemis-
phere, the author we are quoting believes
came from substances in the tail of the
comet through which the earth passed
Nearly every one is familiar with the
erosions found on tops of hills and noun
tains, running uniformly from the north
east TO the southwest. This has been
larger portion of the earth was covered
with water, and great iceburgs. carrying
rocks and stones in their bottoms, swept
oyer the highest hills, making the marks
now visible on so many mountain and hill
tops. Mr.. Donnelly does not deny that
ice was formed in great quantities after
the earth was struck by the tail Of The
comet. but he claims that the cosmic mat
ter of which the tail was composed
embraced clay dust as we'll as stones.
powders, and even rocks. When the earth
passed through the comets tail, like a
bullet through board, intense heat would
| be gener ted; seas, rivers, and even
oceans would be vaporized. Some por-
tions of the earth would become floods OF
molten fire. and finally. the sudden refrig.
GRAFTON would form enormous masses OF
ice in the polar regions, which it would
take thousands of years TO liquefy. Comets
| abound in our solar system. Humboldt
in his time, supposed there might be
III 100000 of them, and still later astron.
omers put the number at 500.0O0,000
without counting those which reach us
! FROM other solar systems. The surprising
| thing is that the earth snot oftener struck
by comets than 1t is. Halley's comet was
l50. 600 900 miles in length, from the
end of the tail. Hence, with its head in
the sun, it might have reached 60,000,000
of miles beyond the orbit of the earth. In
the year 1879, Lexell's comet approached
the earth so closely that 1t would have
increased the sideral year by three hours,
if its mass had been equal to that Of the
earth. 1t finally became entangled in the
moons of Jupiter, and lost great portion
of it tail. Mr.. Donnclly suspects that
some such catastrophe must have happen
ed to that planet and its satellites, as that
from which the earth suffered previous to
the so.called glacial era. All this is very
interesting and ingenious, but astl onomers
as yet have not accepted Mr.. Donnellys
views. Indeed, all recent geologists have
been trying to account for the appearance
of the earth without allowing for any
catastrophe. Given time enough, and one
can account for mountains. oceans, and
the enormous professions Of the diff renl
orders of animals which have appeared at
different intervals on this globe.-Demor-

TEACH THEM TO BE PoLITE.-Train
your children to be polite at home, and
you will never have cause TO blush at
their rudeness abroad. The rosy. checked
boy and girl and a strong and vigorous
young man who sit in their comfortable
seats in crowded cars, while grey haired
grandfathers and grandmolhers tug at the
straps, are poor commentaries on home
training. Nothing is cheaper than polite
ness, and nothing pays better. 1t should
be taught not because it pays, hut from
principle. The young man who is negli,
gent TO his mother and sister at home, or
the sister who is selfish or unthoughtful
will be no blessing to any other home
into which they are engrafted, until they
"unlearn what they have learned amiss."
This is often difficult and annoying and
robs life of its sweetest hours and richest
gifts. Train your children in politeness
and unse'fishness in all little things, and
the greater will come without effort.
