From the New York Evening Post. Aug. 18th.
Butter and cheese making has been a
djffiused industry in many countries,
from the earliest times; but it remained
for American inventiveness TO give con-
centration to the work and show the
nations how best to do it. In 1858 we
exported to England million of pounds
of cheese; in 1860 we sent her fifty
millions In the same year We import
ed nearly million and a half of pounds
to supply our own requirements; but in
1870, so ample and excellent had our
supplies become that we did not require
to import a pound.
1t is comparatively but few years
since farmers in New York State, seeing
the waste of labor necessarily conse-
quent on each small farmer being his
own manufacturer Of cheese and butter,
commenced to form labor-saving CO
operative factories, where one set Of
workers would do the work of many,
and where, by affording superior facili-
ties and giving special attention, the
quality of the product might be i'm
proved. The movement was completely
successful, and at this day, the number
of these cooperative factories in the
State is more than nine hundred, with
a supply of milk from a quarter Of a
million Of COWS; every three thousand
COWS atiording "a million of pounds of
cheese, valued at $4,000, or more than
three hundred pounds Of cheese and
three hundred gallons of milk for each
COW. Of this large number of factories,

An Eastern Scavenger.

A Calcutta correspondent says that
his attention was attracted one morning
by an unusual turmoil in the outdoor
premises of the house in which he lived.
Looking out of the window, he saw an
adjutant, evidently unable to remount
on his wings, standing helplessly amid
a company of at least hundred crows,
whose loud vociferation seemed to ex-
press anything but delight at the
presence of their gigantic fellow biped.
The adjutant, from his usefulness as a
scavenger of all work, is gentleman
very much humored about Indian
homesteads and this one in particular,
as was his wont, had been lingering
outside the cooks room for any uncon-
sidered trihes which the servants might
think fit to throw out.

Of the affair, with the sagacious notion
that they might pick up a few chance
scraps on their own account, were soon
on the scene Of action. Hunger has no
compunctions, and at last one OF them,
more venturesome than the rest, ap.
preaching more closely than actual pru.

dispute the possession of bone with
the adjutant.

Some Interesting Facts AbOut the
Cholera.

Some few years ago, DR.. Guy, Profes-
sor of Hygiene at Kings College, Lon
don. drew attention 10 the fact that an
attack Of cholera was often preceded
by milder Observation-Disclosures. The
prevalence of the latter malady during
the past winter and spring may seem to
have been simply accounted for by the
exceptional severity Of these seasons.
but nevertheless, it has its significance
and its warning. Both epidemics have
this in common-that they progress in
fatality to a certain point, and then
gradually subside. They are not sub
ject to the same fluctuations as bron-
chitis and diarrhpa-fuctuations due
to changes of temperature or other evil
dent causes-but are TO very consider
able extent independent of the ordi-
nary influences of heat and cold. There
is certainly no resemblance between
the present year and the year 1854,
when the last cholera epidemic pre-.
vailed. In 1854 the drought was gen.
eral, and although during the month of
July there was much rain, yet the wear
altogether was a very dry one, and from
the commencement of March extraor-
dinarily warm. The progress of the
malady when once it reached our shores
for there can be no doubt that it was
imported) was very remarkable. Till
the middle OF July hardly case was
known, but before the end of that
month the deaths had risen from 5 to
1873. The disease went on, increasing
week by week, till in the eighth week
it reached its maximum mortality of
1850 1t took Is weeks to fall again to
five, and during the whole period of 81
weeks, there was no fluctuation in its
progress, and then in its decline. This
feature is one Of the most striking
characteristics of the plague, and har-
monies with the theory that both are
imported diseases. Evidently, there
fore, the first duty of the Government
is to watch the ports, for, whether con
tagious or not, cholera is not an cpl.
demic Of home growth. 1t is an unwel.
come guest. which can be best dismissed
at the very threshold.

the rongh handl ing it has received at their

their trick Thy tricks are vain which the

remembered by those Who'll have kept track of po-
litical matters. If not, short history as given
by the Chicago Journal will serve tn refresh the

GRAMMAR.

Some OF our readers who'may be gramma-
rians ILL be kind enough 10 tell us, II they can,
whether the plural Of tailor's goose Is geese OF
gooses. They will also tell us r. asking to be
helped from dish OF potatoes, hashed mashed
stewed and cooked, they should say, "a spoon
full Of mashed potatoes" or "a spoonful Of
the mashed potatoes"
Speaking of the article known as a taior's
goose, reminds us Of the following;
Some time since a variety merchant in the
coutrv wished to order from hardware store in
the city something for his tailor customers, and
wrote as follows;
Please send me two tailors' gooses."
No, liking the grammar, and fearing his New
York friends would laugh at him, he destroy OF
that order and wrote:
"Please send me two talors geese"
After the letter was sealed he was trubed il
his mind lest they should send him a couple o
live geese, purchased from some tailor, when h,
took the letter from the post Office, destroyed II
and for two days thought of nothing except hov
to wurd his order so 1t could be understood am
according to grammar. AT last he gave up il
despair aud wrote
"Please send mo one tailor's goose-and, ID
IT, send me another one just like itl"-- Ec
We have seen this in a somewhat diffsren
shape. Our language Is full of anomalies
Some verses, as we remember them, read a
follows:
II the plural Of goose
Should be geese and not gooses,
Then the plural of moose
Should be meese aud no mooses.
If the plural Of OK
Should be oxen, not oxes,
Then the plural Of fox
Should be foxen, not foxes;
And the plural of box
Should be boxen, not boxes.
