perfect cyclone of enthusiasm n delegate
moved the adoption of the platform, as
read The convention went wild, the dele
gates mounting tables and chairs and shout
ing and yelling like Comanches
The tumult lasted fully a quarter of an
hour, till it ceased from the sheer exhaus-
ton of the delegates. When tue Texan had
finished, the chairman's gGvcl fell like a trip
hammer and order was finally restored.
The platform proper, exclusive OF the reso-
| lutions was finally adopted 10y rising
vote
At this stage the convention was little
better than a bowling mob, and in the
midst of the confusion &. NJ. Miller of Cali
fornia came to the front on the prohibition
question, which had been ignored in the
platform and resolutions All efforts to
choke him off with points of order were in
eifectual. The following resolution offered
by him WINS brief but to the point:
Resolved, That we favor the abolition of
the liquor traffic
Confusion became worse COMPOUNDED but
the prohibition amendment was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. The resolutions were
adopted with only three dissenting votes,
Al this iuncture Gen. j. b. Weaver re
lieved chairman Pfeffer, who was worn out
with his fruitess efforts to preserve order,
and had besides to catch a train for Wash
ington.
| a resolution against trusts was choked Off
by a point of order raised by Schilling of
Wisconsin that all resolutions should be re-
ferred TO the committee on resolutions with
out being read. Then the convention got
down to business again and the matter of
choosing a national committee was taken up.
After a brief recess it was decided to let
each state have three men on the committee
| but the fun number were not named for
every State. II. f.. Taubeneck of Illinois
was chosen chairman of the national execu-
/ tive committee by acclamatioD. Loud calls
brought him TO the rostrum, where he made
n brief bu very manly and modest speech,
after which the convention adjourned.

! sheep Husbandry and Vacated
Farms

The FREE Press has already suggested
that in Wow Of the high prices OF meats the
present is a favorable opportunity for Yer
mont farmers to engage more extensively in
tie sheep Industry. The American Wool Re-
porter applies this same remedy to the
vacated farm problem which also has
especial interest for farmers Of this State
1t says that the man who cannot take one of
these deserted farms, with little capital
and a moderate degree of business sense and
make it pay 10 per cent net by the judicious
application Of sheep husbandry, would
be an exception. The reporter gives as
an instance the experience Of +. +. Bow
dioh the celebrated stock farmer Of Fran
ngham, Mass, who purchased a WORKOUT
pasture of forty-four acres. This land had
previously supported seven COWS with diff
/ Guilty, but he kept so sheep on it for five
years, and it is now able to support twenty
| one cows where the seven lean kind pre-
! viou.ly dragged out precarous and unsat-
/ i,fuo'ory existence. This is an illustration
/ Of what sheep husbandry will do for worn
/ out land.
As regards dollars and cents there is nc
| question about the profits of sheep hus
| bandry. Some one of our Vermont ex,
changes a short time since furnished an ex
celent case in point. ID said that farmer
had seven sheep which it would cost about
as much TO keep as one COW. Last year he
raised twelve lambs, which sold in the fal
tor $40 and he had fine lot of wool besid,
on the profit side This year h'
has six sheep which are raising clever
lambs and he expects to make more than h,
did last year from his sheep. lie has on
sheep which has raised twelve lambs in fiv
years, five Of which sold for $50 so, anc
she has three fine lambs by her side thi
spring. Three lambs do not grow ION ever,

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.



The average Temperature during the past
week has been near the normal throughout
New England. Warm days have occurred,
but the nights have been generally cold and
the daily ranges strong. There were slight
frosts in the central and northern sections
on the 18th 18th, 14th and 18th. Little
precipitation has fallen IN any locality, and
in most Of New Hampshire and Vermont
and i'll northwestern Massachusetts none Mt
all.
The influence of the weather upon the
crops has varied but little since the last bull
letin. 1t has been somewhat warmer, and
farmers are taking advantage of this to put
seed into the ground. But it continues cx.
ceelingly dry, and the seed put in germi-
mates slowly or not at ali, and the frost nips
whatever appears above the ground,
especially in the north. Apples are
mostly in blossom in the South and are
very full, but the trees are being greatly
rayaged by the tent-caterpillar. The early
grains are now mostly sown. Potato plant
ing has begun in the North and is wei
under way or completed in the South. Tn.
planting Of corn has begun to any extent
only in the latter sect ion. At East Btrk-
shire in northern Vermont corn planting
has begun fully week earlier than usual.
At New Britain, Conn, corn is coming up.
The observer at Brattleboro, Vt, state.
that Il large acreage of onions have been put
in but they are starting slowly. Asparagus
is reported to he in prime condition. Later
reports from the strawberry growing sec
lions indicate that the amount of damage
done by frost as reported last week wal
/ greatly overesumated. The outlook for n
crops for the coming week is very good.

Is He Still in Chill.

VALPARAISO. Chill, September l5.-
RumOrs continue to spread concerning
the whereabOut of the fugitive presi
dent. The other day it was said he was
fleeing by way of Los Andes, in the
Argentine Republic, his purpose being
to reach Buenos Ayres. Now it is re-
ported that. not daring just at present
to attempt to escape from the country
he has taken refuge in some of the lega-
tions, or else has concealed himself in a
monastery. II he has been fortunate
enough to gain admission to legation,
he will in all likelihood, be protected
from the wrath of his triumphant
enemies. If, on the contrary, he has
sought refuge in monastery, he is in
immediate danger of being captured.
The council of state will undoubtedly
cause all the monasteries to be searched
for him if it puts any faith in the re.
port. 1t seems hardly plausible. how
ever, that he should seek an asylum
with the clerical party, as ever since
the outbreak of the war the priests have
been almost unanimously in sympathy
with the Congressionalists.
Ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs Aldu-
nate, while travelling toward Santiago

cation with it.
