Farmers in this vicinity are nearly all done
seeding. The corn is all cut off, and some
few have commenced to husk. The corn crop
is right good as far as we can learn, but the
potato crop is only ordinary.

Farmers are nearly done seeding in this vi
cinity, few fields of corn ground are to sow
yet. The corn is nearly all cut off, and IS
hardly an average crop. That which was
planted early, is a full crop, while that which
was planted late, is not more than half crop.
All our schools opened with good number,

Holstein Cattle.

Hon. Charles B. Roberts has purchased the
herd of Holstein cattle of DR.. Francis w.
Pattison. of Lockearn, Baltimore county.
The herd consists Of bull, eleven cows and
a three, months old calf, all of which, Except
the calf. are imported stock. Some are reg
istered in the Netherlands Herd Book, and
an are registered in the Holstein- Freisian As
ISOLATION in this country. The bull is five
wears old, and, with the exception of one
cow, eight years old, all the stock is young.
Owing to the prevalence of pleuro- pneu-
monia among cattle, Mr.. Roberts had the
herd inspected by competent surgeon from
the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Animal Industry, Washington, and he not
only pronounced them healthy, but the finest
herd he had seen in this country.
The cattle we're to have arrived yesterday,
and will be placed on Mr.. Roberts farm, near
Uniontown, tenanted by Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Roberts purpose, in purchasing the
herd, is to improve his own stock, and to IN
troduce this excellent breed into the county;
and all lovers of fine cattle will learn OF the
introduction with pleasure.
Holstein cattle, while large, are particular
" noted for their milk producing qualities
The origin and purity of the thoroughbred
race NAV be traced back two thousand years,
the present stock being ineal descendants
from the cattle OF the Frleslans ana DataV-
ians who settled on the banks of the great
rivers of Holland one hundred years before
our era. The stock has at times been de-
creased and threatened with destruction byi in
undations and disease, but the farmers kept
on breeding with what was left. About one
hundred years ago, during the cattle plague,
some German cattle were imported from Hol-
stein, and by careful management and breed
ing, and conditions of. soil and climate, the
qualities of the native breed were restored.
The cattle are called Holstein stock, but the
the proper name is Holstein- Friesian.
In color the Holstein- Friesian cattle are
black and white yariegated. They are classed
with the short horn race, and their form known
as The best milk shape" Milk form, variega-
ted colors and short horns are three prominent
points about the race, and they have possess
ed them ever since the formation OF the breed,
and are strongly hereditary. As to quantity
and quality of milk they excel all other
breeds and are second only to the English
Shorthorns as beef cattle.

Frederick Union Of Thursday.
The Havre de Grace club is not satisfied
with the result of Mondays game with the
Frederick club, claiming that one of their best
players was disabled. They have challenged

score being Westminster 81, Newark 0. But
one hit was made off Houseman, while Pon-
