Some nine years ago, Solomon Bacon
well known merchant in London, re
ceived letter from his correspondent IL
Hamburg which grieyed and troubled
him. 1t stated that the writer had beer
defrauded by his nephew, son of q
widowed sister, Of Gl0,0OO, and had fled
to London with the money. There was
reluctance to make the matter public
and Mr.. Bacon yag desired to keep
silence; "bIt, the letter vent on to
say, "if you invite John to dinner, and
when alone tax him with the crime, he
might perhaps refund the money. Should
he do so, you may give him E50O." The
London m4teaapt found the young Ger
man, took him home, An9 Ehen the
ladies had withdrawn from the dinner
table, be acquainted his visitor With bis

young man, and be forthwith handed

Mr.. Bacon; will not ny check do as

Quite replied the German, and
having received the $500 check, hastily
left.
The following morning Mr.. Bacon
went to his banker to pay in the notes,
and fognd to his surprise that they were
all eounterfeits. His peEt inquiry was
after his check, but that was already
cashed. He then telegraphed to his
Hamburg correspondent, and learned
that he was profoundly ignorant about
the whole affair. 1t was as sdroit a

not apprehend cholera of malignant

TOR those that are situated near its ravag-
ing, ruinous power. Our Circuit Court
met to-day, and adjourned without
transacting any business of con-
sequence. Judge Gillenwaters is dearly
beloved and profoundly respected by the
people of his circuit; but his kindness and
pleasantness in listening to the litigants,
jurors, officers and lawyers, and getting
their expression as to his duties and yield
ing to their wishes, will be remembered as
the browning act of real genuine noble
ness. He had ridden forty miles through

could try the prisoners, if no more, he
came, and this evening he started home
again, after doing all he Icould to
satisfy ALL and have the first one to hear
speak that did not applaud his course.
a letter was read from our prompt,
efficient and reliable Attorney Gen
eral saying il would be impossible
for him to be present, owing to sickness in
his family. I suppose this is the first court,
or even the first day of court, he has ever
missed since his election. Chas. r.. Vance,
Esq, was appointed Attorney General pro
tenn. The little time he represented the
people he did it very acceptably.
The persons attending court represent
cholera morbus as prevailing in almost ev-
cry part of the county, though but very
few fatal cases have occurred.
The farmers say this has been q second
year of slim crops. Apples, peaches and
pears are a dead failure. Wheat is very
light, not more than half crop. Oats are
not near so good as expected, and the corn
looks weak and weary, from it's effort to
do something, The meadows and pastures
alone are what we would like-too good
for much Improvement The berry crop
is pretty fair, and is now being harvested.

The Best Cow.

Old Creamer, nine year old Ayrshire
whose record in milk-giving for two weeks
ending June I, was published in this pa.
per of June 10, is now claimed by her
owner, Gen. 5. D. Hungerford, Adams, to
be ''the greatest mich COW on record, hav-
ing yielded in three days the enormous
quantity of 3O2 pounds of good milk, as
follows: June II, 1907 pounds; June II,
100 pounds; June 10, l0l4 pounds, and
$3.50! pounds in the month of June. being
an average of ninety-four pounds and q
fraction per day" BY comparison with
the figures heretofore given, it will be seen
that for those three days there was con-
siderable increase upon any one day re-
corded in the previous fortnight, While
the daily average for the whole month of
June reaches the extraordinary quantity
of ninety-four pounds, which is, we are
inclined to think, without parallel-as her
owner supposes.-COuatrY Gentleman.

Der of live fence posts growing. If any of
your numerous readers wish to try it, let
them get either willow, cottonwood or
Lombardy poplar large enough for the
post, cut it off the right length, space it off
the width they want the planks apart,
take two-inch auger, bore two or three
holes-to suit the board for siX-inch fence
plank two holes are enough-then chop
out the centre with long, narrow-bit axe,
point the plank so each end will pass into
the post, dig the holes, set the posts in
early spring as soon rs the frost is out of
the ground, taking care not to injure the
bark, and either of the woods named will
grow. Get young, thrifty timber, not too
large. Cutting holes through the post
does not injure it from growing, and the
plank remains firm, if not broken, for
years. know of post and rails made in
this way that have been in use fifty years,
and good yet; the post of willow, and the
rails of white cedar. The centre post, if
inch plank is used, will have to be bored
with an inch auger, and cut out to let the
plank slip through. If of poles (or good
rails are best, then only the ends want
pointing to pass in the post.-COr. Prdr{e

SoWed Corn for Winter Forage.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer says "My
experiments with it have resulted in the
following conclusions; First, that one
acre of corn sown in drills three feet apart
is worth more than two acres. PLANTED to
June, four years ago, from the 10th to the
Goth =; stock did well on it fed in the bun
die. | have raised some every year since,
but sowed late, and cattle would not fatten
fast enough to suit me. Last year 1 sowed
in May, about the Goth, three pecks per
acre; cultivated twice, and cut and stock
ed, then cut with the Empire feed-cutter
and fed from one to two bushels per head
and am receiving gratifying results from
it now. In sowing early the corn cared
well-in fact, good part would have done
to crib-there having more heart or sub
stance, and by cutting it from one to one
and half inches long, cattle eat every
part clean. 1t is not so much work to cut
the fodder as it would be to husk corn /;
the stalks are sweeter and softer than
when handled, as they are when husked.
The corn, when cured, should be piled as
close as possible, and heated to keep it
from drying too much. One acre fed, the
first of this winter, twenty-five head for
three weeks. Since then l have had but
enough to feed once a day, one bushel per
head, then straw in the yard at noon, and
hay at night. My cattle are doing we'll
in fact, are growing.
