JERSEY CATTLE Ar HOME.

The Island of Jersey, the largest
and most important of the Channel
Islands, contains only about 40
square miles, its greatest length being
only IL miles, and its greatest
breadth about 51a miles. Though
belonging to Great Britain, it lies
contiguous to the coast of France,
and its people are by far more French
than English. The surface of the
country is broken with numerous
winding valleys, having a general
direction from north to south, as
they approach the south so to form
small plains. 1t has suffered some
what from the encroachment of sand
from the ocean, which drifts in from
the west; but the lofty hedges which
bound the small Enclosures, and the
trees which line the roadsides and
which occupy every untlllage ledge,
give it the appearance of forest
land. The climate is mild, with
mean annual temperature of 81 de-
grees, in which the fuchsia, the Or
ange and the fig grow in sheltered
places entirely unprotected. While
it's annual rainfall is only 301s inches
rain falls on about $50 days each
year, so that such thing as drought
is scarcely known. The land is very
productive, the soil being a deep
loan, which is highly titled and ma
nured and which produces large crops
of wheat, hay, turnips, parsnips and
potatoes, besides much garden truck
for the English market. The manure
mostly used, is partially burnt sea
weed, of which immense quantities
are thrown up by the sea each year.
Jersey has only about $4,000 acres
of arabic land of all grades, and that
is we'll cultivated and very productive
is shown by the fact that since 1851
it has supported population which
| has not varied much in the whole
time from IS 900, the land being di-
vided into farms of from one to so
acres the majority being less than
three.
The mainstay of Jersey, however,
is its cattle, of which it has somewhat
over II 900, or So to every 100 acres
of tillable land. Of this number
about 5000 are COWS and 1882 are
under two years of age. The cattle
are, of course, all Jerseys, and are
kept pure by very stringent laws
which prevent the importation of
any foreign animal for any purpose.
They were kept for the production of
butter exclusively until within a very
few years; but since then such a
demand for them has sprung up in
England and the United States that
now by far the most profit is made
in the growth and sale of stock ami.
mails. Of course, the keeping of sc
many animals on so limited an ares
is possible only by the utmost care
and as consequence they are al
housed in winter and tethered in sum
mer and daily moved to new feeding
grounds, the women having nearl.
the entire charge of them.

ANTIDoTE FOR PARIS GREEN.-As
the season for using Paris green is at
hand, it should be remembered that
iron rust is the best antidote for this
poison. Water strongly impregnated
with iron is not to be used to dilute
the poison, as the iron in it will neu-
tralize a portion. Much of the dan
ger from this poison may be avoided
by applying it in weaker doses,
which are equally effective in destroy
ing all insect life. For nsing on
potatoes we use one heaping tea
spoonful of Paris green thoroughly
mixed with 100 pounds or one BUSH
ell of fine gypsum. ~

THE CAUSE AND REMEDY FOR
NEGLECTED FARMS.

Jerome Morrison, Jr., in an adj
dress to the Maine State board of ag-
ricuIture, said: A great cause of
failure in many localities is the neg
lect to give stock proper care and
shelter in the winter. Farmers lose
more by keeping stock through our
cold winters in poorly constructed
barns than in any other way. They
don't take pains enough to make
their barns and stables warm and
comfortable. However good the
condition of stock in the fall, if the
tie-up or stable is open to cold winds
and the cattle and horses are allowed
to stand exposed, no matter how
well they are fed, they will shrink in
flesh continually so long as the cold
weather lasts. A judicious outlay
for boards, clapboards, and nails will
remedy the cause of neglected farms.
Another cause of rundown farms
is the fact that farmers do not keep
teams enough, and of the right kind,
to successfully cultivate. To be
successful the farm must be improv-
ed each year, and this cannot be
done without teams sufficient for the
work. Oxen are needed for the
heaviest work. If farmers would
return to the good old way of keep
ing yoke of steers of different ages
from calves up to six year olds, a
solid yoke of oxen could be turned
off every year. Others would come
up to take their places, and there
would be good heavy team on the
farm the year round. All steers can
be made to pay their keeping from
two years old forward, and there is
no class of stock in such good de-
mand, and that brings so high prices
as good matched steers and oxen
But farmers have tried to get along
without them. They have sold theil
hay or run their fodder through in
!. ferior stock and old horses, and re
suit is the rundown farm.
The best calves and the best stool
must be kept on the farm. Thu
veal business is ruinous to the coun
try. Another evil is the lack O
suitable pasturage, caused by tn
encroachment of bushes. The onl,
$ remedy is the ak, scythe, and bush
4 hook.
But the principle cause of run
down farms is the lack of energ
among farmers. In order to max
farming a success, the farm shout
be run as you would run shop,
), mill, or store-every day but Sun
: day, the year round.

MALL POX.
An Alarming Increase of the Epidem
in MOntreal-Thirtv.TwO New Cases
Reported.
MONTREAL. Aup. 81.

MONTREAL, Aug. 2l.
At meeting of the boot and shoe manu.
facturers yesterday petition was drawn up
asking the city council to prohibit public
meetings, circuses, etc. to build small pox
hospital and appoint additional vaccinators
and prevent health officers from riding in the
street cars. The manufacturers said that the
fall orders from the west were being cancelled
on account of the epidemic in the city Mayor
Beauregard has devoted $500, the balance of
the volunteers reception fund, to the relief
of the poor who are suffering from small
pox. Private subscriptions are coming in,
and the city council will vote an additional
sum if necessary. A temporary small pox
hospital was opened today.
The small pox has become epidemic in
Montreal, and notwithstanding the efforts of
the board of health. is spreading in western
portions of the city. There are about 800
known cases, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that these are 300 or 400 more unreport-
ed. Thirty-two new case were reported to the
board Of health yesterday. The mayor has
prohibited Barnums circus from entering the
city on account of the danger arising from
large crowds of people gathering together.
He has also closed the theatres. The Clergy
men are also urged to leave their pulpits i;
and the members of the church, who have
the disease in their houses, do not attend
worship. The prevalence of the disease is
affecting the trade of the city. Travelling
men say they cannot sell their goods. The
greatest obstacle to checking the disease is
the ignorance of the populace. They move
among people sick with the small pox, ap-
parently without fear.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
FROM DRESDEN.
The Fourth Day OF the Kennebec VALLEY
Campmeeting,

Especial to the Kennebec Journal.
DRESDEN, AUG. 81.
The day has been quite cool, the ladies ap-
pearing with wraps and the men with over
coats on. few people have gone away,
others have come, so the number is kept
about even. DR.. Cullis of Boston, and SON
in-law, Mr.. Mallory, came by the afternoon
train. Several invaids have come on for the
purpose of seeing the doctor. The day has
been very quiet. The noon altar service was
a season of power.
The sermon this forenoon was delivered BY
Rev. DR.. Stephen Allen of Augusta. Text,
Luke XIV, II: Come, for all things are now
ready"
If the gospel message could be condensed
into single sentence, none could more COM
prehend it than the words of the text. The
words were doubtless addressed to class such
as would be presumed would hear the mes
sage. AS message it is one extending to
all mankind, and excluding none. Some of
the preaching of former days which taught
exemption OF portions of the human family
from being the special class to whom it is
sent, and that those who received the message
to them it was especially sent, has nearly
passed away and about discarded from the
pulpit. Ali mankind is included in the invi-
tation to the gospel feast. The leading items
of the gospel feast are, the sinner is justified
with peace, joy in the Holy Ghost in all its
qualities, and the love of God shed abroad in
the heart. This message is sent to him who
rejects it, to him, too, who receives it with
insult. This message is particularly design
ed to strengthen the weak in the faith, the
trembling and hesitating soul in Christ. that
they may take higher ground and not be like
the Israelites of cid, who through unbelief
wandered in the wilderness many years when
they might have entered into the promised
land. The promise is unto us that we may
enter into rest and not lose the blessing
through unbelief.
In the afternoon the services were conduct
ed by J. Church of Richmond. who preached
| from Ecclesiastes, III, /: "To everything
there is a season, and time to every purpose
under the heaven
| In all of Gods operations it came in its
due time, and whatever the season. God
met sin with the deluge. God sends first two
messengers of mercy. Jesus came to us in
the purpose of God, in the season to best meet
the worlds greatest need. Gods purpose to
us is that we repent, and the season Is now.
Last evening Rev. MIR. Stackpole of Bath,
preached very powerful sermon from John
XVI, 49,
1t was expedient that Christ leave the body
when he could only be with the few, that in
the person of the Spirit he might be with all
who believe on him. The office of the Spirit
is to convict. He who receives Christ in to
his heart is taught righteousness and the
blessedness of the indwelling spirit. If we
are not in the full possession of the assurance
of peace in Jesus, then it is that we have not
made perfect surrender. At the close Bro.
Stackpoe led the altar service in practical
way by going directly into the congregation
and inviting sinners to come.

FOREIGN NEWS.
ON THE AFGHAN FRONTIER.
A Collision Between the Russian and
Afghan Troops.

LONDON, Aug. 81.
A despatch from Meshed. Persia, near the
Afghan frontier, to the Times, states that a
collision between the Russian and Afghan
posts nearly occurred on the 18th inst at
Ksraktepe. is miles from Chamani Bald
Some Russian troops the despatch says, ap-
preached karaktepe and the Afghan troops
there stood to their arms. A Russian officer
when he saw this ordered his troops to un-
sling their carbines, and he was shot and ser
iously wounded by the accidental discharge
of one of the weapons. Considerable excite
ment and confusion followed. which how
ever. subsidized as soon as the truth was
made known. The Afghans then detained
the Russians until they received an order
from Herat to let them go. During the de-
tention the Afghans treated the wounded
Russian officer with great kindness, BAN
daged his wounds and sent him back to the
Russian lines. A hurried investigation of
the occurrence was made on both sides The
Russian commander exonerated the Afghans
and promised that the troops should not again
advance beyond Chamani Bald. Four Eng
lish officers continue to supervise the work of
repairing and strengthening the forn of
Herat.

ADVENT CAMPMEETiNG.
Large Delegation Present-SermOn by
Elder Robinson.

PORTLAND, Aug. 81.
At an early hour this morning the Advents
were astr completing the preparatory work on
their grounds. Among the new arrivals were
a large delegation from South Lawrence
Academy consisting of teachers, students and

Elder Robinson from the words: BLESSED
are the pure in heart for they shall see God, "
Matt v, 8. The speaker showed that by
nature all hearts are evil The man that has
no motive that would lead him contrary t.
Gods revealed will was declared to be pure
in heart. The fact that God tests and proves
man by circumstances was illustrated and
the law of the Most High shown to be en-
bodied of purity. The advantage of purity
to man in this life was shown and the promise
of seing God in the future dwelt upon. The
sermon was calculated to improve the mind
and to lead the thoughts in an elevated
