The Wrinkle Question.

The latest number of the 1mericdn
Sheep BreeIey and Wool GrOWer, Chi
cago, claimed editorially that wrinkles
on Merino sheep are rapidly declining
in popularity in some Of the leading
fine-wool sections of the country. A
correspo udent of the Mcbig0n FU1mel
takes up the other side of the question
and discusses it at some length. In the
course of his remarks he says: "This
question of wrinkles is one of those
that come up every little while, and is
q good thing to theorize over; but all
the same the very best breeders, and
those who have achieved reputation
for their stock, are very careful to avoid
plain sheep. Most of them nave had
some experience with plain sheep, and
we have yet to find one whose expert
ence was such as to induce him to con-
time breeding them. AS rule, no
matter how wrinkly the buck is, the
ewes never show an undue proportion
of wrinkles. Wrinkles, in their proper
place, are one of the most desirable
characteristics of the American Meri.
no." This is one of those vexed ques-
tons which discussion is not likely TO
settle. The perpetuity of the wrinkle,
however, is not involved in the out
come of newspaper debates, and it will
no doubt continue to be distinguish
ing feature of certain families OF fine
wool sheep as long as they are BRED

| was especially interested in the re-
suits of cross-breeding between the
Merino and the heavy English sheep,
which has long been a hobby with
many New Zealand flock-owners. For
this purpose the Leicester and Lincoln
seem to have been the earlier favorites,
though the Cotswold is now the peer in
estimation with either of the other va
rieties. AS may be imagined, the
cross-bred animal leaves little to be de-
sired by the advocate of wool and NUT
ton on the same animal. The one is
long, fine and lustrous; the other well.
lined, juicy and abundant. And what
to the practical breeder is still more in
teresting is the fact that efforts have
been so far successful as to establish
large flocks in which uniformity is as
prominent a characteristic as in the av-
erage of either of the breeds from
which they sprang. At the time of my
visit December and january this had
all been sheared, so that | was unable
to see the fleeces outside of the storage
lofts; but from these | was enabled to
procure samples of seven inches in
length, and exceeding In fineness any
thing i had deemed possible from such
a cross, while much of the lustre so es-
teemed in combing woods was preserv-
ed. This cross-bred sheep is now so
"fiXed" in type that breeding animals
are bought and sold with the same faith
that they will reproduce with uniform
ity as attaches to the recognized breeds.

The Use of Disinfectants.

The hot season brings mere or less
disease, which arises in some cases at
least from impurities that are left to
the influence of the sun and rain. Not
only in villages, but also around farm
houses are these sources of disease to
be found. An authority on disinfec-
ton writes as follows:
The value of distinction is no lon
ger open to discussion. Its value is
reduced to scientific facts. Experiment
has also shown the value of two or more
disinfectants in combination For cess.
pools, drains aud others Of like char
acter, the following formula will be
found good:
Sulphate OF zinc, one part oak bark
powdered, one part; sulphate of iron,
one part; mix and form into balls with
tar, of suitable size for use.
OF disinfectants in solid (powdered)
form, the following are cheap and eff
fective:
Carbolic acid, one pound; copperas,
two pounds, air-slacked lime, two bush
els; mix and use freely.

Life EyermOre.

If these few years of care and strife
Fill out the measure OF our Lille,
Ii life but means this 1eeting breath,
Ceasng with that which we name death,
How sad II thing 1t were to live,
How dear thing TO die.
If. like the wave upon the shore,
Life rings its chime and is NJ more;
Ii like yon bark all tempest-tossed,
We stem lies tide but TO be lost,
How vain our struggles here to live,
How hopeless then TO die.
But if the wave that beats the shore
Rings out the glad Life EvGrmore,
Though into darkness we may glide,
And meet alone deaths sullen tide,
How brief then seem our trials here,
Nor hopeless then to die.
1t we like sunset so intense,
Which burns into the soul and sense,
Or cblldhoOd's dream, and old folk lore,
Can only live in memory's store,
All, then 1t were joy to live;
For memory, too, would die.
But as the sunscts parting ray,
Throws into night a CLEAN OF day,
As clildhoods dream, and manhOud's prime,
Lives in the heart through llfe's decline,
so INTO our last even-tlde,
Life throws Il golden CLEAN.
II tween the cradle and the grave,
Where hearts may break, and cypress wave,
Come all there are of loves sweet dreams,
If from beyond no love light CLEANS.
'Twcre better far we had not loved,
Since that fond love must die.
But love which breaks the hearts repose,
Unfolding like the summer rose,
Lives on beyond deaths sullen roar,
And greets us from the other shore,
How joyous then if we have loved;
Fond love can never die.
AS after the night comes the rosy morn,
As out of the darkness the day was born,
SO out of the joys and griefs of earth,
Death but proclalms a glorious birth,
And into our last even-tide,
Heavenly harmonie5 may glide,
While loved ones from the other shore
Chant the glad words, Life Evermorc.

The TerdS Wool GrOacer claims that
there are influences at work which will
give a favorable turn to the wool in
dustry before next spring, and that it
will pay to hold on to sheep now. To
sell at low prices is no remedy for ex-

says: The very best and easiest way
for sheep raisers TO depress the indus
try to the lowest notch is to offer all
their sheep for sale because of the tenn

Regarding the origin of the Republi-
can party of Vermont Hon. j.. i. Wal
ton of Montpelier wrote the following
to the st. Adams MeSSenqer. "1he
last Wing State convention In Vermont
was holden at Rutland on the 9TH of
June, 1854. AT this convention "A plat
form was adopted, which dissolved all
connection with the propagandists of
slavery and prepared the way for the
union of all honest, independent and
patriotic men in what may most fitlv be
styled the League of Freedom. | SO
described the platform editoriallv, June
| y, 1891, and | had the right 50 to do, for
| drew it up and repo' ted it TO the con-
vention, having first received the APP
proval of Lawrence Brainerd and Rv-
land Fletcher, well-known leaders of
the old liberal party. AT the conven-
ton State ticket was formed, consist
ing of Stephen Royce for governor,
Oscar l.. Shalter for lieutenant-govern
or and Henry NJ. Bates for treasurer.
On June 16, 1854, an anonymous call
was published in tie Wotchmon for a
convention of 'all persons who are in
favor of resisting, by all constitutional
means, the usurpations of the propa-
gandists of slavery called, without
distinction of party to meet at Mont
pelier on July 4, 1854. This call was
circulated in the expectation that the
Wing convention would adjourn with
out naming ticket, and ultimately re-
ceived large number of signatures.
The day of meeting was changed, how
ever, to July -, the anniversary of the
ordinance of freedom of 1887. On that
day the convention met and adopted res
olutions in harmony with the Rutland
resolutions, differing in two material
points only, to wit: the one adopting
the name of Republican, and the other
approving the prohibitory law of 1852.
AT this convention the following ticket
of State officers was nrmed: +. Z.
Walton (my father) for governor, Rv-
land Fletcher for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and Henry NJ. Bates for treasurer Sub
sequently General Walton on the Re-
publican ticket and Mr.. Shafter on the
Wing ticket declined, and State com.
mittees of the two conventions substi-
tuted for them Stephen Royce and Rv-
land Fletcher, who, with Henry VI.
Bates, were the first Republican State
officers. Now let me say, if you choose
to fix the birthday of the Republican
party of Vermont on the 18th of June,
1851, at Rutland, you will be substan-
TALLY correct, if the excellence of a
party consists in its principles; or, if
you choose to fix its birth at Moltpe-
lier on the 18th of July, 1874, you will
be literally correct, if the excellence of
party consists in its name"

Pap Sherman and JEFF Davis.

st. Louis Special: Gen. Sherman, in answer
to a question by a reporter as to whetherhein-
tended to reply to the letter of Jefferson Davis,
recently published in this city, said he might
do so at some future time, but he should con-
suit his own convenience; that Mr.. Davis has
not addressed him, but the st. Louis. Republi,
can; and that if he made any reply it could on
~ be through the war department. He further
said he did not suppose any reporter was pres
ent at the Frank Blair post, the night
he spoke, as the Grand Army is an organization
oaly for the social interchange Of personal
memories. Still, he admitted the report pub
lished contained much truth, but not all. He
has most of louisiana papers, he said, to make
good his assertions that tho civil war was
forced on the people of louisiana by cc2splr-
ators in Washington, and that during the pro-
gross af the Rebellion adr. Davis changed his
views of the doctrine of secession, and threat
ened to use force in case any state in the con-
federacy should attempt what was then known
as separate state action" The general has
already sent to Washington some letters and
papers bearing on the case, but as to their pub
location, ne stated the authorities there must
be consulted.
