TEARING DOWN BILLS.
John Cullen of Duffy's Jubilee Troup
Arrested This Morning.

As Manager Lapoint of the Barre
opera house was walking down the
street near the park about nine o'clock
this morning he saw three members of
the Duffy's Jubilee Co. tearing down
tho banners and bills advertising "Other
Peoples Money" which appears here
on the evening of the llth.
He accosted them notifying them that
such work must cease at once. Mr..
Lapoint then proceeded down the street.
Finding Officer f. E. Perry he went
with him to the depot where the troupe
were just about to take the train for
Middlebury where they appear tonight.
Officer Perry attempted to arrest
John Cullen, the drum major of the
band, who was the only one Mr.. La
point could identify. Mr.. Cullen thought
otherwise and started down the track to
Granite street, from there to River
street, and there the officer lost him.
Messrs. Perry and Lapoint boarded
the next electric car for Montpelier and
when near Allen a. Richardson's saw
mill at North Barre Cullen signalled
the car and jumped into the seat right
beside Officer Perry, painting from his
run.
He was promptly nabbcd and brought
back up street.
He wept profusely, said he was sorry,
said he had no money, but would put
back the bills and banners if allowed to
and finally, after consulting with the
manager of "Other Peoples Money" at
Burlington, he was let 20 on that condi-
ton.
He completed his bill posting and
left for Middlebory on the three o'clock
train. 1t it alleged that this is the
third time IN the past week that MEM
b"rs of the Jubilee troupe have used the
"Other Peoples Money" advertisements
in a similar way. The manager of the
latter company says they had better not
try it again.

After harvest we NOW the stubble
fields intended for meadow next year.
The swath board is removed and the
cutter bar run slightly higher than
when cutting grass. The growth of
weeds and young clover and timothy Is
cut off and allowed to lie on the
ground, serving as a mulch for the
young grass, unless the growth Is very
heavy. Then 1t is raked Off. so as not
to foul the coming hay crop. Our first
hay crop is always as clean and often
better than succeeding ones.
The moving has opposite effects up
on the grass and weeds. The tenden-
cy Is to induce more compact and
thicker growth of grass. while the
weeds are destroyed. The practice
may not be so profitable II the fields
are to be used for pasture. especially
the same season. as the stock will
likely Craze TOO close. This will leave
the young plants unprotected during
the winter, and much of the young
clover will be heaved out II the soil is
not undetermined. says an Ohio CORE.

More Cows, Fewer Horses.

According to the report of the State
board of assessors, there has lately been
a great decrease In the number Of horses
10 Maine, especially in young colts.
Summaries are given of counties.
In Sagadahoc county the returns Of
the local assessors show the presence Of
2S09 horses. To fill this number there
are only % three year olds, "a two-year-
Odds, Is one-year. olds, or total of 63
colts.
In Somerset there are 9l9l horses In
use. The supply Of colts in this county
il but 857, distributed as follows: Three
hundred and eleven three ear-olds; 240
one year-olds.
Piscataquis Is reported to have 4140
horses 10 use, and but 256 colts to FIJI the
demand In the next three years. There
are t8 ee-year-olds, 90 two-year-olds,
and SO One-year. Odds.
Waldo has 1898 horses In the county
and their supply Of colts at the present
time is but 437. There are l61 three
year-olds, 1856 two-year- Odds, and 12l
one year-Olds.
Hancock county report is not quite
complete, as the two OF Eden failed to
put IN the number of horses. Taking
the number last year as basis there are
5000 horses In the county, and but 2lS
colts for the supply. There are "a
three year-olds, 70 two-year-olds, and 40
one year.olds.
This condition of affairs is surprise
to many and where the people of this
State are to receive the supply Of horses
10 wonder. There are not nearly as
many colts as horses now IN use, and the
condition of affairs In these five counties
Is about the same all over the State, the
exact figures are not now Obtainable,
but the result will probably be just AS
startling.
The report comes from the West that
they have stopped breeding to certain
extent, In fact, almost as much as they
have In the State. Oxen have not been
bred for many years In any great num-
Der, and 1t Is not possible for them to
take the place of horses.
The greater demand for horses will
tend to make the price very much high
err, and the farmers who have good
brood mares and stations will be max
ing money in few years should they
commence at once to bred.
The reports indicate an Increase In the
number of cows In the State. 1t Is
probable that the increase will reach at
least 5000, which Is the greatest increase
Of any one year for number of years.
The decrease 10 the number of oxen
raised In Maine has been checked, and
without any doubt the returns will show
substantial increase in the number Of
oxen raised. There Is also quite a SUBJ
stantial increase In the number of sheep
owned by the Maine farmers.
The farmers are all over the State rails
ing much more live stock than for q
number of years. They have more con-
fldence and are showing 1t in this way as
In many others.
