" Che p Meat.o

Col. Waring, the author of "Ogden
Farm Papers in the american Asricul,
tmist, has some sensible talk concerning
the "meat supply
"The English papers have great deal
to say just now about the meat sup
ply They seem to be seriously alarm
ed, and are discussing plans for getting
preserved beef from South America, and
mutton from Australia, ust as some of
our Eastern papers tried to frighten us
farmers with statements in regard to
how cheap beef could be brought from
Texas. For my Fart, | never was bit
frightened about it. would like tosee
every one provided with cheap meat.
The interests of the country demand it {;
but | am sure that tn, only cheap meat
to be had is good meat. This apparently
cheap meat is the dearest meat in the
market. If the English could get this
cheap mutton from Australia they would
not eat it. Within year or two past,
with good, choice beef in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and other large
cities higher in the retail markets than
in London, thousands of sheep were
slaughtered and boiled down for the
HoSS duu lOI tdtlOW. L WISH GnlS matter
was understood. Many of our farmers
are deferred from paying more atten.
ton to the improvement of their stock
from an idea that we shall be flooded
with cheap meat from the new States
and Territories. Depend upon it, moth
ing of the kind will ever permanently
occur. You cannot get good beef, NUT
ton and pork anywhere without paying
some attention to the introduction of
improved breeds and giving them con-
slant care. The only way to get cheap
meat is to breed animals that mature
early, and feed literally and regularly.
When | say cheap meat, | do not mean
meat that sells for less than we are now
paying. do not think good meat will
ever sell for less money per pound than
now. What l mean is, that we should
aim to produce meat so intrinsically
good, that even if it sell for more money
per pound it will be far cheaper than
the low priced meats are now.'

ed by the iodine test that a large por-
ton of starch was passing off undigest-

of peas to the feed caused all the starch

feet development of animals. When
hogs are fed for any length of time on

MEDICAL GUEsswoRK.-Th profession,
al treatment of diseases is IN a great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes
this hit-or miss practice is pursued until
the resources of the faculty is exhausted.
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
empiricism. But when the physician had
made valuable discovery, he is called
by his professional brethren an Emp'ric
because he advertises the result of his
labor and research. When DR.. Walker,
of California, introduced his celebrated
VINEGAR BITTERs as a remedy for all
blood diseases, he struck tremendous
blow 1t the empirical system, rs applied in
our hospitals and in private practice. 1t was
soon apparent that his medicine was not a
mere palliative or alternative that only modi-
fed the symptoms of a disorder but that it
reached the very source of the mdlddy in the
blood id the secretions, and literally rooted
ID out. The process Of renovation and dsin-
lection went on together, vigor was impaired
to the organs from which the virus of disease
had been expelled. That such is the effe,t of
this popular remedy, no one who has had op
portunities of observing its operation in cases
of liver complaint, Indigestion, affections of
the bowels, govt, rheumatism, and pulmonary
disorders, can possibly doubt ICON.

A Defense Of the Gopher.

W.O.W White, Kalamazoo county, Mich,
writes that he thinks that "the gopher"
has been unjustly accused of being very
destructive to vegetation. He examined
the contents of the stomach of one, and
found the remains of large bug, eleven
cut-worms, and two kernels of corn.
He thinks that when the animal pulls
up the corn, it is to get at the grub
at the root. The true gopher, or
or pouched gopher, about the destruct
iveness of which there can be no doubt,
as it will kill whole row of young
trees, is not found in Michigan. The
animal to which our correspondent re-
fers is probably the striped gopher, or
leopard sphermophile, which is not &C
cused of the serious mischief com,nitted
by the larger and more Western gopher.
1t is unfortunate that the name gopher
should be applied to three or four sguir-
rel-like animals and to a tortoise, as it
often leads to confuson.-American Ag-

Strange Divorce Suit-A Man Married
to Another Man.


The Carlinville "or. espOndcnt OF the
Democrat relates the following story. the
circumstances OF which can be vouched
for by persons residing in this city:
One of the most remarkable divorce
cases on record has been began, and is
to be tried at the August term of the
Macoupin county Circuit Court. The
parlie have lived together for seventeen
years, known to the world rs husband
and wife. The rcputcd husband low

OF the ground that the person to whom
he WAS then formally married Is not a
woman, although previous to and at the
time of said repu ed marriage he was
induced to believe the person aforesaia
n woman. If the allegations of the bill
and OF outsiie parties are true, the trial
will show the extraordinary case of two
men having lived together for this long
period of time, in the character of hus.
band and wife of man having
been able to personatc the female char
acter, and rs such to go through the
solemn external forms of marriage, and
then to continue Tor many years to de-
ceive neighbors, and even intimate
friends, as to his real sex. The com,
planant alleges that his ignorance ct
the laws of this country, he being a Ger
man, and the advice Of supposed com
petent parties, prevented him from
filing bill for release long ago from the
bondage of this pseudo marriage. As
the parties have accumulated a con.
siderable property, it will be a point OF
great interest for the Court to decide
upon its equitable division, in case of a
dissolution of the curious copartnership
