To the literary and historical clubs these
papers offer convenient adjunct and nucleus
for q systematic study of the general subject.
Various veteran. associations are wisely en-
gagged in making record of the personal ex-
periences of their members, and to these q
generation hence the historian will resort for
the substance of his final judgments. Mean
while the civilian and the student have little
Nr no benefit from these rich materials. In
every town or city to which The Century
goes n most interesting study of the war
could be carried on by the aid of the remin-
iscences of officers and soldiers, and of the
diaries and letters penned in camp and biv-
ouac, to say nothing of the books and docu-
ments accessible in every library. Doubtless
investigations conducted in a historical spirit
would be the occasion of shedding important
light on the character of the conflict, or (as
recently in the case of a literary club of Gin
cinnati) the occasion of clearing up misap-
prehensions concerning its origin.-The
Century for March.

Bohemian Oats.

What does the farmer propose TO do with
oats that cost him $40 o bushel? They are
too expensive for any kind of legitimate
use. But the smooth tongued agents who
sell them at such an outrageous figure, as
sure the victimized purchasers that they can
sell them fer seed. That statement is so thin
that none ought TO be deceived by it. II the
oats are more valuable than ordinary oats,
they will be Just as abundant, and if they
are no more valuable than common oats no
body will care for them. In either case there
will be no demand for them for any purpose
at any such outrageous price as
the victims pay for them. The Bohemian
Apan" is now at work in our county. The
following is his plan of operations He
sells the oats to the farmer at $40 per busbel
taking his note therefor, ard to secure (f)
the purchaser against loss he gives him the
following paper:
"a bond from the Ohio and Michigan
Bohemian Oat Association, to be signed by
our Superintendent, M. ID. Zimmerman.
-Tp., CO., State 1888. We
hereby agree to sell - bushels of Bohemi-
an oats for Mr. at so per busheI, on or
before the 25th day of - 1SS--. The note
given by Mr.. - due - l89-, will not be
called for until the above amount is sold at
S10per bushel." Signed IN. ID. Zimmerman
This is accompanied by what purports to be
a copy of the 10Th bylaw of the association,
ratifying the acts of the said agent or super
intendent until May 1st, 1885. This docu-
ment is also signed by the same thinner
man. The note, of course, in the hands of an
innocent purchaser is open to no set-off or
defense by reason of the above quoted agree
ment and when presented by such purchaser
will have to be paid. The farmer who ex-
poets to meet his note out of the proceeds of
oats sold by the association will be quite
likely to be just little disappointed. He
will have one consolation, however, he will
have accumulated some wisdom, although he
fails to lay zip riches.

THE OTHER SIDE.

We have seen one of these Bohemian
fellows already. BY the way, it is the same
one that we saw last spring, and, more than
that, he has done just as he agreed, and has
sold more than three times the amount that
he agreed to sell. Don't soc any particular
need of either shotgun or dog yet. The oats
weigh fifty lbs. to the bushel, and, if they
Mont go as many bushels to the acre, you
get great many more pounds, and, besides
that, am satisfied that one bushel ia worth
at least two of the common oats, and plenty
of growers will affirm that one bushel il
equal to three Of the others, which is what
is claimed by the agents of the association.
/ raised over forty bushels on an acre, ma
chine measure. Please publish this in JUS
tice TO both the grower and the seller. / am
satisfied it is a good grain to raise and to
feed. ESocu HOWE.

DIPPING LAMBS AND SHEEP.

& Sheep with open feeces and little
yolk, of whatever breed, need to be
dipped once or twice & year, to des-
troy the ticks. If the ewes have been
afflicted with ticks, these, after shear
ing, will be certain to go to the lambs,
which should be Immediately dipped,
if the matter is not already attended
to. For sheep dip, on our own farm,
we use crude Carbolic Acid and y bite
Hellebore powder We have just dip
ped fifty lambs. We used quart Of
crude Carbolic Acid and two pounds
of White Hellebore in fifty gallons of
water, and when we were through dip
ping, nearly half the dip was still I'M
used. We put the two pounds of
White Hellebore in pail, and stirred
it up with a gallon of boiling water.
The Carbolic Acid was simply poured
into the fifty gallons of cold water in
the tub, and the gallon Of boiling
water and hellebore poured in, and
the whole well stirred together, and
the lambs dipped into the liquid. In
two or three weeks after the first ap-
plication, the lambs should be dipped
again. The liquid that is left from
the dipping can remain in the tub,
and by adding little more Carbolic
acid, hellebore and the proper pro
portion Of water, the dip is all ready,
and fifty lambs can be dipped IN half
an hour. The crude Carbolie acid
costs about seventyfive cents per gal
lon, and the white hellebore powder
twenty cents per pound. Joseph Har-
,.is in American A Agriculturalist.

ROAMING INDIANS.

An Ottawa dispatch says: Advices
from the Northwest frontier say that
the United States Indians (Gros
Ventres) who had crossed over to take
a hand in the rebellion with Pound
maker and Big Bear have been run
across the line by Stewards scouts.
They are still hanging about the hor-
der and may yet give trouble after the
troops are withdrawn. It is believed
that q large number of Canadian As
sinaboine Indians have gone south
with the Gros Ventres. It is the in
tention Of the government to station
fifty mounted police along the frontier
III the future, to prevent cattle raiders
who have been SO successful in their
depredations+ during the past year,
from crossing over from Montana.

as Reno and his men were scanning
the valley for an enemy, they saw
huge clouds Of dust rising far down
the river and masses OF men coming
up it. AT first they thought they We're
Indians and all began to prepare for
battle. It was soon discovered how
ever, that the approaching forces
were cayalrymen; they had also seen
Reno and his men on the hills and
believed they were Indians. We be-
gan to prepare to attack them, when
Captain Ball Of my command commu-
nicated with Reno, and Iieytenant
Jacobs Of Gibbons staff brought the
glad tilings that Reno was found and
well. Ne had previously found Gus
ter and his men all massaored, and
had begun to fear that the whole reg
iment had shared like fate.
THE FAULT WAS NOT RENo's
Generals Terry and Gibbon at once
rode into Reno's lines and began pre-
parations for removing him and his
poor fellows down into the valley
That Reno had no idea Of the fate Of
Custer is shown by the fact that one
of the first questions he asked on
meeting Terry was wv here is Gus
ter?" and on being told he had been
massacred, Reno was inexpressibly
shocked and for time could hardly
believe it itpossible.
