CURIOUS WAR RELIC -
A Vest stained with the nIood Of thu first
Federal Omcer shot In battle.
Col b. =. Hawkes., Of the pension
office. possesses a curious memento Of
the first bloodshed. of the civil war. 1t
is the first blood drawn from the veins
Of a federal officer by confederate fire.
Talking about war times the other
day Col, Hawkes. tool the paper from a
little bundle he carried and held up for
inspection a low-cut gray vest, of a sort
OF pepper and salt pattern, bound
about the edges with brown silk cord
and ornamented with buttons that
looked like bullets. It had been a gar
ment of q civilian before the war. sOn
the side, a little forward of the arm
hole, was a ragged hole about the size
OF a mans thumb Below this a dark
stain ran down, spreading until 1t cover
ed nearly all one side Of the vest On the
inside this stain colored the entire lin
ing of the vest The garment was
soaked with blood that had dried into.

An exchange remarks: "Notwith-
standing the general disfavor in which
sheep were held some years ago. on ne
count Of the low prices of wool and the
difficulties seemingly surrounding the
future of the wool trade in this coun-
try, sheep have once more come TO be
regarded as an essential part of the
makeup Of the stock of the general
farmer"
Oats make one Of the very best mate
rails for feed during the summer They
supply the elements for a good growth
and development Of bone and muscle,
and this with the work teams and
growing stock Is quite an item. The
objection TO using corn during the
summer is that Il Is both u heating and
u fattening food, conditions hat IN n
majority OF cases IL will be best to
avoid If the comfort OF the stock Is to
be considered.
Nothing has proved so satisfactory
or so profitable in the last few years as
sheep rs a source of income. The great
lesson has been learned, that while it
is highly desirable to maintain the pre-
cedence Of the wool industry in this
country, this, after all, is only one of
the attractive features of keeping sheep.

Vermont's Sugar Crop for 1891.

''Forbes" of the Boston Journal
says: The maple sugar season of
1891 has practically closed. 1t be-
gan the second week in March, the
first good run of sap occurring on
the 10th of that month. The season
has been favorable for large crop
of sugar, and the yield of many ma
pie orchards has been considerable
above the average of the past few
years. In some sections of the State
the farmers report that they have
made four pounds, and in some in
stances five pounds to a tree. The
manufacture of sugar this year has
been somewhat stimulated by the
prospective payment in 1892, and for
IA years thereafter, of q bounty by
the Government to the producers.
There has been an appreciable in
crease this year in the number of su-
gar works operated, and the num-
Der of trees tapped this season is
much larger than in any previous
year. From a careful estimate made
by the Journal correspondent it ap-
pears that fully $500 sugar places
have been carried on this season.
More syrup has been this year
than ever before, there being con-
stantly growing demand for syrup in
the American market. 1t is estima-
ted that fully 100000 pounds of
sugar and syrup has been made, of
which it is probable fully 40 per cent
was syrup. The amount of cake and
tub sugar produced is placed at 1O,-
100000 pounds. The quality of both
the syrup and sugar made is better
than in any former season, which re-
suit is largely due to the use of new
and improved utensils and apparatus.
The market value of the crop of 1891
will doubtless exceed $1,000, 900. In
the early part of the season good
cake sugar brought the producers
from 10 TO II cents per pound, and
syrup sold for 81 per gallon. Far
mers now realize from 6 to s cents
per pound for sugar and from so to
20 cents per gallon for syrup. Sew
