LIEUT.. YOUNG'S ASSIGNMENT.

That Lieutenant Richard w. Young
should be ordered to Fort Douglas is re-
garded not only with the utmost sur
prise but with the most pronounced in
dignation by the loyal people OF this city,
rs it will be by that element throughout
the Territory, as soon rs the news OF
this most remarkable action of the War
Department is generally known. Lieu
tenant Young is grandson OF Brigham
Young and is one OF the most bitter and
fanatical Mormons that was ever obi
gated under oath to obey the orders OF
the church authorities in preference to
any other power, not excepting the Gov
ernment of the United States in whose
army he is commissioned officer. 1t is
well known fact that the principal
necessity for maintaining q military post
in the vicinity OF this city is the disoyal
sentiment OF those who constitute the
so-called church, with which Lieutenant
Young is in full sympathy and fellowship,
and which disloyalty is only prevented
from manifesting itself in open rebellion
against the Governmental authorities, by
wholesome fear OF the military power.
The placing Of an officer to assist ir the
maintenance of the law, who is himself
in full sympathy with its violators and
their crimes, is certainly great mistake
on the part of the War Department, and
one which was doubtless committed
through ignorance OF the sentiments OF
the person assigned to duty here. Upon
proper representation OF the facts from
the civil authorities and the loyal people
generally OF the Territory, the error will
doubtless be rectified by the resembling
OF the order and the assignment of Lieu
tenant Young to some other locality
where he can conscientiously discharge
his duty as an army officer, and without
violating any OF his obligations
to the institution to which his faith is
pledged, and to which he holds para
mount allegiance. No time should be
lost by the representatives of the Fedora
Government in the Territory in laying
the facts before the War Department
when General Sheridan will, in all prob
ability, revoke the order, which as i
stands, is not only a'gross insult to the
law-dbiding people OF Utah, but the mos
ridiculous military blunder thai was evel
committed by any general officer OF the
United States Army.

"WHY EXPLAIN p"

With a shameless eifrontery, equaled
in venom only by the d..'picable attack
itself, the Republican organ this morn
ing repeats its dose oi inuendo concern
ing Envoy Sedgwick, and winds up
shame-faced, school-boy argument with
the statement that the pretended excuses
do not deny that Sedgwick was roaring
drunk. This is absolutely false, as the
hotel-keeper, at whose place Sedgwici
stopped on the night in question, specific
ally states that Sedgwick acted as a
gentleman, and retired early on the night
in question, and this fact appears in The
orgdn's telegraph columns! Also Il full
denial appears there from Sedgwick, and
surely he should have the benefit Of the
doubt until he can be heard from further.
The organ has fallen into the habit OF
striking at everything within reach OF
late, regardless OF who was hurt, and it
is just possible that that trick will come
back with ten ton power yet and shake
up the men who think it good Republi'
can policy to calumnate and vilify a
leading lawyer, while engaged in his
profession, even though engaged by a
Democratic Administration. The orgar
people will find themselves on dangerous
ground, when traduc!ng that profession
as it holds an esprit du corps that ever
political lines cannot remove, and it
members are loyal 10 each other. II thi

THE severe shocks Of earthquake felt
all over the country yesterday were
doubtless due to the recent startling flip
flap of the Bar llarbor oracle on the
question OF Prohibition, as said flip was
calculated to make the demous OF the
neither terrestrial world laugh, and when
they laugh they shake things. 1t will be
noticed too that the shake occurred most
violently in the very strongholds OF Pro-
hibtion, and the boys are now aware
that the Plumed Knight is on deck and
open for business

and several similar attacks BODIED any
good TO the Republican party, the organ
would have some pretext for tearing
Sedgwick to pieces, bu, that excuse does
not exist. 1t is part of its habit to howl
at somebody or something, to keep up a
racket, on the principle of the philosopher
of Duxbury, who bequeathed to his son
a long tin horn and a good pair of lungs,
saying "Blow your horn Tommy, even ii
Won don't sell q clam"

State Experimental Station:

Secretary 2. A. Gilbert at the re-
cent State Board of Agriculture
gave an idea of what was being
doue at the State Experimental
Station at Orono. Some $500 have
been expended in fitting up lab
ortory. 1t has been supplied with
fixtures and there has been a con-
siderable outlay for chemicals. One
man is now employed all the time
on ANALYTIC work. A large field
ploughed last spring for experiment
tai plots, will be utilized this season
in this direction. Plot experiments
in boxes to test more accurately the
effects of fertilizers, shutting of all
outside influences, are to be conduct
ed. This winter there is consider
able work going on in the way OF
feeding experiments. Two pair oil
steers have been purchased and are
being fed for the purpose of testing
the comparative value of different
kinds of folders. In addition 10
this feeding is being carried on to
test the value of dressing Half an
acre of fodder corn was placed III
in silos, not so much to test it as IA
food as its effect in milk production.
Besides this there are other expert
ments underway to ascertain the
worth of various foods in producing
dairy products. Prot. Jordan was
spoken of as the right man i'll the
right place and as being competent
to bring the station up on equality
to similar stations in other States.

Poor Potatoes All Round.

The complaint is general this win
ter that there are fewer really good
potatoes than have been sold and
eaten in many year, 1t is not rot
nor any other known disease; the
inquiry is becoming common one,
Is it Paris greenf In destroying
the potato bugs, have we not de-
strOy ed the potato also? The po-
tatoes everywhere have rankly,
pungently bitter taste and suggest
a secondary poison to the palate.
May it not be that the destructive
powder sifted over vines has at last
worked its injecting influence into
the tubers, and thus given us seed
i'll sort pOisOned-which has been
planted for another crop, whose
vines were subsequently treated
for the destroying beetle in the
same heroic way! 1t certainly is
something to be thoughtfully con-
sidered, and our established Agri-
cultural Experiment Station might
profitably give the subject their at
tentiOn. Ii it should be demonstrate
ed that the use Of Paris green for
a term of years is sure to spoil the
potatoes themselves at last, it is
plain enough that its discontinuance
as a remedy will not have to be urg-
ed On any farmer who raises pOta.
toes for the market or for domestic
consumption only. And if the bad
taste of potatoes this winter is not
due to the use of Paris green, a
great many complaining people
would like to be assured OF it,

Cost Of Living.

From careful study it is ascer-
tanned that the average annual cost
of living for the industrial classes
is, 800 expended for food, $50 for
clothing and household goods. OF
the food, $50 is assigned for meat
and $40 for dairy products and eggs;
thus, half the whole cost is expend-
for animal foods. Thus is at vari.
ance with the teachings ofnutritive
and domestic economy. The same
food value could be obtained for
half this expenditure for animal
food.
The neat stock of this country
represents a value Of 81, 25O, 1000 900.
About One-third of the whole numb
er, or 14,OOO,OO0 are mich cows.
without counting the yearly in
crease in calves the yearly products
of the dairy may be valued in round
numbers at $500, 100000, an
amount equal to the value of the
dairy stock themselves. The pro.
ducts of dairy ing constitute nearly
three-fif of the entire annual pro
ducts of cattle growing in this
country.
Of agricultural products as CLASH
fed and arranged according to
values, meat stands first, corn sec
ond and dairy products third;
wheat and hay comes next. Dairy
products for several years have been
worth more than our wheat crop,
and more than the hay crop. The
butter product alone is worth more
than the cotton crop and the milk
we consume as food exceeds the
value of the oat crop.-MU. Afford.

Watering Horses.

Horses working in the field re-
quire watering more than three
times a day. When a horse plunges
its head deep into the trough to
drink, il is injuriously thirsty, and
has been suffering. While the owA-
er visits the water jug in the shade
about once every hour, he scarcely
thinks of his team, laboring in the
dust and suffering from thirst. 1t
is a good plan to carry a supply OF
water +, the field for the horses on
a light drag which is as easily taken
as to drive the horses or to lead
them to the field in harness alone,
and it would be a grateful change
to carry a bunch of fodder along, to
give them a mouthful when they
rest at times. Regularity in water
ing horses is % point which ought
to be carefully observed, because
they will worry when thirsty, until
relieved. Soft water for drinking
purposes is very much preferable to
hard water.

The annual report of the State
College of Agriculture at Orono,
shows that the aim of that institu.
ton is to make not only theoretical
but practical farmers. Hereafter
students will spend four days per
week, studying details Of farm man
agement under the direction of the
superintendent. Such practical
tests of the truths learned cannot
fail to be of value. The progress,
i've nature of the farm management,
also, must have a beneficial effect.
A farm cannot be kept in too high
state of cultivation and even the
best conducted are capable Of i'm
provements. This property of the
State, doubtless seemed in all excel
lent state, already, to many of the
young men who have gone there
from country homes, but this prop
erty has not been allowed to stand
still. More land has been cleared
from bushes, drained aud otherwise
made more teI tile during the year
the stock has been iml roved and
many successful experiments have
cen made. The school is doing a
good work for Maine.

Warmth and Circulation.

Dir. bio Lewis gives the following
good advice to women: One of the gray
est mistakes in your dress is the very thin
covering of your arms and legs. No ply
siologist can doubt that the eXtrcmtics
require aS much covering as the body. \
fruitful source of discase--of congestion
in the head chest, and abdomcn-is found
in the nakcdness of the arms and legs,
which prvents fair distribution of the
blood.
\ young lady has just asked me what
she can do for her very thin arms. She
says he is ashamed of them | felt of
them through the thin lace covering, and
found them cold | asked her what she
supposed would make muscles grow.
Exercise" she replied. Certainly; but
exercise makes them grow only by giving
them more blood. Six months of ygor-
Gus exercise would do less to give those
naked, cold arms circulation, than would
a single month, were they warmly clad.
The value of exercise depends upon the
temperature of the muscles. 4 cold gym
nasium is Improbable. Its temperature
should be between sixty and seventy. or
the limbs should be warmly clothed. Our
servant girls and blacksmiths, by constant
and vigorous exercise, acquire large, fine
young ladies will labor as hard from morn
Ing till night as do these useful classes,
they may have fine arms; but even then it
is doubtful if they would get rid of their
concessions in the head. lungs, and stom-
ach, without more dress upon the arms
and legs.
Perfect health depends upon perfect cir
culation. Every living thing that has the
latter has the former. Put your hand un
der your dress, upon your body; now put
your hand upon your arm. If you find
the body is warm and the arm cold. you
have lost the equilibrium. The head has
too much blood producing headache or
sense of fulncss; or the chest has too
much blood producing cough rapid
breathing, pain in the side or palpitation
of the heart or the stomach has too much
blood. producing Indigestion or the liver
has too much blood producing some dis
turbance or the bowels have too much
blood, producing constipation or diarrhma.
Any or all of these difficulties are temper
arly relieved by immersion of the feet or
hands in hot water and they are pcrma-
nently relieved by such dress and exercise
of the extr entities as will make the deri-
walton permanent.
Again say, the cxtreinties require AS
much clothing as the body. Women
should dress their arms and legs with one
or two thicknesses of knit wooden gar
mcnts which fit them. The absurdty of
loose flowing sleeves and widespread
skirts will not discuss
DO you ask why the arms and legs may
not become accustomed to exposure, like
| the face? | answer, God has provided the
face with an immense circulation. be-
cause 1t must be exposed

Production.

The first duty of the farmers OF
this country is to provide our own
people with food and clothing. For
twenty years agricultural products
have constituted more than three
fourths of the exports from the
United States. With the inclea
of population the ratio of export is
increased, reaching in recent years
the enormous amount of S5O0,000,
600. This anper- abundance of pro
duction WI probably continue dur
ing the present century. The wis
dom and economy of our system of
production and disposition is very
different matter. The startling fact
has lately been presented by one OF
our most acnte statisticians that the
whole accumulated wealth of the
country, aside from land, does not
exceed two, or at most three, years
production. That the average pro-
duct to each person in our most
prosperous country does not exceed,
measured in money, 80 to % cents
per capita per day. Thus our total
income as nation, after maintain
ing our capital and the payment of
taxes, is but 40 to 40 cents a day
with which to provide for the every,
day necessities of life. In view of
this presentation it behOoves us to
husbandeall our resources
Science has done much towards
establishing truths of practical
value in our farming operations.
Among more important ones are
those which teach us the effect upon
the fertility of the soil of the remov-
al OF different crops. and thus what
should be consumed at home and
what may be profitably sold 1t
makes vast difference to the owner
of land whether the products sold
be a ton of grain, beet OF butter. 1t
is from this difference that our live
stock plays an important part in
profitable agriculture. More live
stock and better care of it is the on.
ly salvation of our worn out lands.

A Curious Grain.
MACHIAs REPUBLICAN,


Three yeals ago, Samuel Wake
field of this place, received from {
friend residing on the st. John riv
er, five kernels of grain, which beal
a resemblance to wheat, accompani
ed with the story that the grain
was taken from the crop Of a wild
goose. Since that time Mr.. Wake,
field has continued to grow the
grain, and last season harvested
about five bushels. Within the
past month a specimen of this pecu-
liar grain has been sent to Hon. q.
A. Gilbert, of the Maine Board of
Agriculture, asking his opinion re-
lative to its species, in reply to
which he says that it is wholly I'M
like the American cereals, and has
sent the specimen to Prof. q II.
Fernald of the State College. who
has looked the matter up. and is
also unable to give any information
on the subject. 1t is understood
that a sample is to be sent to Wash
ingtOn for examination.

Household Hints.

Anything can be purified such as boxes
tirkins or jars, that are tainted, by filing
them with clean fresh earth and allowing
the earth to remain few days.
For Group or pneumonia, bruise raw
onions, lay a cloth with powdered gum
camphor sprinkled over it and apply to
the chest and lungs, and cover with hot
flannel. This is n sure cure if taken in
time.
If you are suffering from nausea, be
sure aud brown some Indian meal, and
pour boiling water over it. Let it stand
awhile then drink he water. know of
nothing that will settle the stomach
quicker.
Sage tea into which has been put
enough bay rum to keep 1t from becom-
ing sour, is an oldfashioned but excel
lent wash for the hair. Probably there is
none better to prevent the hair from fall
ing out.
Linseed oil will relieve difficulty in
breathing, or Il poultice male of haxseed
meal, or the fiaxseed boiled then thick
ened with me | to the consistency that
will spread on-a cloth. 1t is infallible in
lung trouble, especially pneumonia.

SUNNY Rooms MAKE SUNNY LIVES. =
Let us take the ARREST, choicest and sun.
NEST room in the house, says the Home
for our living room-the workshop where
brain and body are built up and forward
ed; and there let us have bay window,
no matter how plain in structure, through
which the good twin angels--sunlight
and pure air-can freely enter. This
window shall be the poem of the house.
1t shall give freedom and scope to sun
sets, the tender green and changing tints
of spring, the glow of summer, the pomp
of autumn, the white of winter, storm
and sunshine, glimmer and gloom-all
these we can enjoy as we sit in our shell
tered room, as the changing years roll on.
Dark rooms bring depression of spirits,
imparting sense of confinement, of iso-
lation, of powerlessness, which is chill
ing to energy and vigor, but in light Is
good cheer. Even in a gloomy house,
where the walls and furniture are dingy
brown, you have but to take down the
dingy curtains, open wide the window,
hang brackets on Their side, set flower
pots on the brackets and ivy in the pots,
and let the warm air stream In.
