Portland Badly Whoiesase Market
PORTLAND, Jan. 19.
There is no particular change or new feature to
note in the Wholesale market. Occasionally we hear
of little squirt in some branches of trade but in
most instances thel is a tone of complaint. Bread
stutfs are unchanged here, but they have an easier
tendency owing to dropping markets at the West.
Flour quiet and unchanged the total visible sup
ply of Wheat at the close of the week was So 005-
675 bush; for the previous week So 5O6, 5SA bush;

the visible supply in all markets is 1o,O29, sos

the same; the visible supply consists of 5,S91 $50

AGRICULTURAL.
Plain ralk with Farmers.
(Writtnrn fo,. +I,o o....s

written for the Press)
On these mornings when we arise to find
the teakettle frozen solid upon the kitchen
stove, it will be well for all who have dunno
animals under their charge to inquire
whether they are practicing the golden rule
toward them. 1t is far too common among
farmers to allow cattle to safer intensely
from the cold. They make their own homes
warm, find warm nest for the old dog, and
even the cat, throw generous armful of
litter to the pigs, AMI put warm blanket
over the old mare. But while the horses
usually lave warm stalls and enough rope
to allow exercise by stepping about or kick
ing, when the nights become too frigid, the
poor patient cows are chained up short to
their stanchions, to endure as best they may.
until morning finds them trembling
wit hood. All this may be OBJ
waited by a few square edged hemlock
. boards. Let the tieup be completely boxed
up all around, let wide board at the bottom
be swung SO as to raise for feeding, and
one at the top for ventilation. If this makes
it too dark, put in window A large per-
centage of Maine farmers already know the
advantage OF keeping their stock warm, they
know the comfort gained in having warm
place in which TO milk, they know how
much better the young stock thrive in warm
quarters and how much better the mich
cows will do on the same feed, but there is
also too large number of farmers whose
> cold, open barns are wholly unsuited TO
winter dairyiDg for profit. That cattle will
live through exposure is true, as they live
by thousands on the open prairies, and brave
the billiards afresh from Manitoba. But
that comfort is necessary to the profitable
production of winter milk, and for the best
returns from the food given them is also
true. load of lumber rightly used will
bring many faraers more milk than an ex-
ira COW put into the old cold pen.
At this season of the year, all the farmers
time not taken up by chores should be even
ly divided between chopping wood and
thinking. The two come together and make
perfect joint. Draw up enough wood to
give dry wood all next winter, and thipk
out all your important plans for next sum
mer. And why not turn the old farm into
a homemade experiment station this years
Open up ledger account with that flock of
hens, and see how much they pay per week
for board. Winter some pigs on fine feed
and small potatoes and ascertain the cost OF
pork thus made.
Possibly if farmers would bring a few more
business methods into farm operations, we
should hear less of the expression "business
men and farmers and it would be learned
that farming Is business, the most impor-
tant, intricate, bran-requiring, ofttimes per-
picking, but ia the end most satisfactory,
business under the sun.

How the Robin Came.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Happy young friends, sit by me,
Under Mays blown apple-tree;
Hear a story, strange and old,
BY the wild red Indians told,
How the Robin came to be:
Once great chief left his son.
Well-beloyed, his only one
When the boy was Well-nigh grown,
In the trial-lodge alone.
Left for tortures long and slow
Youths like him must undergo,
VINO their pride of manhood test,
Lacking water food and rest.
Seven days the fast he kept,
Seven nights he never slept.
Then the poor boy, wrung with pain,
Weak from natures oyerstrain,
Faltering, moaned a low complaint;
"Spare me, Father, for faintl'
But the chieftain, haughty-eyed,
Hid his pity in his pride.
"You shall be hunter good,
Knowing never lack of food;
You shall be warrior great,
Wise as fox and strong as bear;
Many scalps your belt shall wear,
If with patient heart you wait
One day morel" the father said.
When, next morn the lodge he sought,
And boiled samp and moose-meat brought
For the boy, he found him dead.
As with grief his grave they made,
And his bow beside him laid,
Pipe and knife, and wampum-braid--
On the lodge-top overhead,
PreeDing smooth its breast of red
And the brown coat that it wore,
Sat bird, unknown before.
And as if with human tongue.
Mourn me not, it said, or sung;
H. a bird, am still your son.
Happier than if hunter feet,
Or a brave, before your feet
Laying scalps in battle won.
Friend of man, my song shall cheer
Lodge and cortland lowering near
To each wigwam shall bring
Tidings of the coming spring;
Every child my voice shall know
In the moon of melting snow,
When the naples red buds swells,
And the wild flower lifts its bells.
AS their fond companion
Men shall henceforth own your son,
And my song shall testify
That of human kin am -
Thus the Indian legion saith
How, at first, the robin came
With a sweeter life from death,
Bird for boy, and still the same.
II my young friends doubt that this
Is the robins genesis,
Not in vain is s i'll the myth
If truth be found herewith;
Unto gentleness belong
Gifts unknown to pride and wrong;
Happier far than hate is praise
He who sings than he who Stays.
