Boston, Jan. 18.-Steamer City OF Cam
bridge of the Bangor line, which left Rockland
Me-, for Boston last night at O'Clock, has not
yet arrived, and grave fears are felt that she
has met vi tn disaster.
In an Interview with PRESS reporter this
morning, Capt. John w. York, keeper of the
Portland Observatory stated that he signaled
the Cambridge about O'Clock yesterday after
noon. She was then passing abous six miles
south of Portland Eead light, was under steam
and apparently all right But she was some
ten m les or more out OF her usual course-in
Shore. In explanation of this Capt. York said
heavy southwest wind was blowing, and the

safety. He said it would probably take her
ten hours or mere to reach Boston from where
she was signaled.-ED

Raising Lambs.

Mr.. Joseph Harris has tho following In

experience goes, there is 10 more trouble
IN raising IN carly lamb than n late one.
In fact, our earliest lambs are almost inya.

ton sheep. For this reason, If no other, If,
ralslugearly lambsfor the butcher, should
select common Merino owes, or at any rate
ewes having more or less Merino blood in
them. There are other reasons why |
should selectsuch ewes. There are more Of
them if the country, and they can be oh.
tanned cheap. They are healthy, hardy,
thoroughly acclimatel, and will stand
rougher treatment than tho English nut.
ton sheep. Theyare smaller, eat less, and
occupy less room in winter quarters. They
will bear crowding better than the large
English sheep, or rather they suffer less,
for 1t is mistake to keep in too close
quarters. Common Alerino ewes, like
Jersey cows, when we'll fed, give rich
milk, and If you want carly fat lambs for
the butcher, the mothers, no matter what
breed yCu may select, must hayetplenty OF
nutritious food" Mr.. Harris here only
alludes to what is common practice in
many localities, using Merino ewes to
raise early lambs, and they are considered
quite success for that purpose. IT,

Stock Feeding,

The Kansas Farmer, in an article on
stock feeding, among other good things
says: Regular feeding is an important
element in iattening stock, and one that is
too often disregarded by the farmer. His
chores must be done when he can do
nothing else, before daylight in the morn
ing and after dark Mt night, with little
intermediate attention whenever he hap
pens to be around the house. The idea OF
taking cattle out OF the warm stable and
turning them into the yard before they
have fairly eaten their breakfast, and leav-
ing them out until dark again, is very
barbarous one, and will surely work loss
to the farmer who harbors it." This is
| just as true Of MI other kinds as OF fatten.
ing stock. Regularity is essential in the
care OF mich cows. They become accus.
toned TO let down their milk at stated in
tcrvals, and if MIXED at other than the
regular time, are very apt to retain por-
ton Of their milk. EARN animals are like
human beings; when fed ut regular time
they come to look for TINT time, and get
hungry and become impatient ii it is not
given to them. A regular time to feed
water and exercise farm animals is as nee
essary rs feed itself. 49,. f.la, & IS
