Farm, Notes.

The brood-mare that is expected TO
foal this season should not be spared
from WORK. If given moderate exercise
she will be benefited. 1t is unwise to
keep brood-mare in her stall and
overfeed her.
Take good care of the ewes from now
on if you would have good flock of
lambs. Do not keep them too fat, but
give sufficient nutritive food. Feed
roots moderately but regularly.
The lambs coming in this month will
not be early, but they can be rapidly
pushed in growth and made to over
take the February lambs by giving
them plenty of food and warm quarters.
An important point is to keep up the
flow of milk from the ewes, and to do
this their food should be raised, cooked
turnips being an excellent addition.

Gentlemen recommends aconite, in

OUR COFFEE RESOURCES.
Where Il Comes From and In what
Quantities.

Tho United States Is the greatest
consumer OF coffee in the world. More
is required for our consumption than
for the consumption Of all the inhaoH-
ants OF Austria-Hungary, France
Germany and tho United Kingdom
combined. The total imports In 1881
were 526, 100, 40 pounds, an average OF
over nine pounds Of coffee per iuhablt-
ant Two countries OF Europe. the
Netherlands and Belgium, show larger
consumption per capita than this, the
former OF twenty pounds and the latter
Of ten pounds. This is explainable by
the circumstance that the consumption
here shown is more apparent than real,
and the figures given do not really IN
dictate the local consumption, but III
clude imports OF coffee in transit which
are consumed in other countries. The
largest coffee markets Of Europe are
situated ia the countries mentioned.
These aud other facts regarding coffee
supply and consumption are presented
in the October volume Of consular re-
ports issued by the state department at
Washington.

the United States Is obtained from

The National Association, as is their usual
custom in such cases, have called meeting
to be held in the Gilsey House, New York, in
October, and each of the men that contested
against Mr.. Murphy is requested to be pres
ent and give reasons for violating
the rules Of the National Association.
An exhaustive document has been printed
by the National Association, or member
Of the executive committee, and sent TO
every club in the association. The offenders
in New England and the three men from
New Jersey and New York have done
nothing towards making defence. and it is
safe to say that all of them will not journey
to Gotham to the coming meeting Of the
National Association. The officials Of the
New England Association as yet have taken
no action on the warning Of the National
Association, which clearly shows that every
man will have to provide for himself.

given on the Charles river on Labor day,

Amateur Rowing Association, the definition
of an amateur Oarsman was printed In that
circular, and read the same as that of the
National association with slight change. so
as to have entries accepted from amateurs
in good standing who are members of clubs

attending circumstances are matters Of
history. and the question now asked by
every oarsman is. what will be the result?

with an oar but could manage it with little
or no success and gave it up for while let

The next morning after daylight they
landed at two small, uninhabtted islands,
which were probably the Seal islands near
tom of the boat and even slept part of the
time. They left these islands after resting
there awhile and next landed on Kimball's

there they went to Green's Landing and
