" NariSeting Cattle.

There has one time or another been great
deal of both humane and common sense, and
sound business principle violated in the
.treatment of cattle, from the time they leave
the country to be sent to market until they
are disposed of. Sometimes they have been
treated to an excessively large feed of corn,
so as TO heat them up and make them drink
water excessively, thus giving the seller good
weights when the animals are sold. Some
times they have been well salted for the pur-
pose of stimulating the drinking process.
Sometimes cattle have arrived at our yards
on Sunday, after good long run on the cars,
and have been ordered kept off from water on
dry hay, and sometimes corn, until Monday
morning, when they are expected to drink
an amount of water that will weigh at least
fifty or sixty pounds per head against the
buyer. Quite a number OF cattle, one time
or another that have been thus treated, have
died in the yards, or before they reached the
Eastern market, after being shipped from
here. All abuses of this kind need reforma-
ton, for the very good reason that it is both
inhuman and impolitc to treat dumb animals
in this way. Honesty is the best policy;
every good cattle buyer knows at glance
| Just the condition that cattle are in for weigh
| ing, and he will always make his price accor-
| dingly-so that in nine cases out OF ten, while
| the owner of cattle treated in the manner
referred to may congratulate himself on
| having gained fifty to sixty pounds per head
in the weight Of his lot, the buyer has really
| taken the difference off in the price he
has given, just as he ought to do in every
case of the kind. Cattle should always be
fed regularly and fairly from the time they
leave the country until they are Slaughtered
for consumption. Humane principles require
this policy on the part of the owners, and it
is requisite for keeping the meat of animals
! in perfect health and in its normal, juicy
condition for human food.-Drorers Journal.

How To Make RIaek Paiut

The most economical and satisfactory black
paint we have ever used for ron-work was
by mingng about two quarts of coal tar with
a pint or a pint and a half OF benzole, which
was laid on with paint brush. This makes
al excellent varnish for rough work; it could
not be recommended, however, as a fine
vanish for any inside work.
Three years ago, the iron fence and iron
balustrade and hand rails on our front steps
were covered wife such varnish, while the
iron-work of adjoining neighbors had been
painted every year with oil and lamp-blaclS
and varnish. At the present time. our fence
looks much the best and scarcely needs paint
ing, while theirs really needs coat of paint
A paint made of coal tar and benz Die will be
found excellent for smearing the iron work
of farm implements. As benzole is some
what volatile, no more paint should be pre-
pared at one time than will be used immedi-
ately.-IaduStridi Monthly.

Eried Potatoes.


Ihe Saratoga correspondent of the Spring.
neiu REPUBLICAN says: Saratoga potatoes, the
poetry OF common life and costly charm of
Delmonico's aud Parker's, can be made in
perfection in any kitchen by the use of very
simple apparatus consisting of a sharp blade
set slanting into trough with a narrow slit
IN the bottom, two wire screens orbieyes. and
common spider. Select eight large pota-
toes, pare them and slice very thin with the
cutting machine, soak them in cold water for
two hours, and stir common table salt into
the water, one teaspoonful to quart, and
allow them to remain in the brine half an
hour longer. Pour them upon the screen to
drain, and put on spider with pound OF
clear lard over brisk fire. Wipe the sliced
potatoes dry on towel, wait until the lard is
smoking hot, and pour large pateful into
the spider. The result is Ike small sea in a
white squal!; and now the cook shows the
artistic soul which every votary OF that no.
Dlest OF the arts must possess to be worthy of
the name. Patient and calm, with steady
and incessant motion of the skinner she pre-
vents adhesion OF any too aflectionate slices
and watches carefully for the tender flush OF
provinces to appear. Slowly it creeps and
deepens until it rivals the hue of the fragrant
Havana. Haste then takes the place of eau
ton, lest any martyrs burn for the perfection
OF others; and they must be quickly spread
upon another sieve to drain until dry and
greaseless enough for the fairest fingers. then
served hot, to melt like kiss on sweet lips.
with dying crackle like the fallen leaves Of
autumn.

They have pailful of skinned milk every
day, so that they can help themselves to ali

The value of the milk is claimed to be
equal to three cents per quart for feeding
poultry. We have long realized the value OF
skinned milk, either sweet or sour, fed 10
poultry, cut we do not value it as high as
three cents per quart, by any means. Would
be glad to furnish sour milk enough for all
the hens in the country, at that price. Meth

The Beecher-TiltOn Case.

The Beecher-TiltOne case
New YORK, July 29.-In the Argus report
published Yesterday, of the interview with b.
i, CARPENTER, the following occurred:
Reporter Mr.. johnson stated before the
committee that Titon never iu conversation
with him accused Bcecher OF crlmlualIty. DID
Johnson ever intimate to you that llltor charg-
ed crimiuality? r,
Mr. Conference.-The has johnson and my
self, as friends of rilton, have frequently talked
over this matter had reason to consider ohn-
son Mr.. Tilton's most Intimate trlend-next TO
MouIton. Mr.. johnson and myself often con,
vcrsed about Tion with mutual interest and
sympathy for him. johnson gave me my hrst
absolute conviction that there was something
crimiually wrong between Beecher aud Mrs.
Tilton Johnson directly told me Tlton had
charged adultery between Beecher aud Mis-.
TiItou, This statement was made to me ID
July, 1878, at the foot Of the stairs leading 10
the Office of the Christian Union.
A Tribune reporter called on Oliver johnson
last evening and showed him the statement of
Carpenter. johnson read the statement and
the following conversation eDsucd:
do YOU know anything of Carpenter $ con-
pection with the scandal and the time when 1t
beganY'
A. Eyes. 1t began long before the time he
names---May 1878 He came to me about 1t
as early, think as the latter part OF 1871 or
the BEGINNING of 1872. He was volunteer
meddIer and partisan of Til,on and | heard his
gossipipg ia various quarters on the subject.
He SAYS he was first brought actively into tie
case by Beecher, but he has been actively in 1t
for at least year, before the time he names
and seemed to enjoy nothing else, so much as
running about the city talking to people on the
subject. He has done more | think than any
other man, save Tiltou himself, to foster and
propagate the scandal and has from the first
been partisan, rather than true friend of
Tilton, constantly lending himself to plans de-
vised by the latter to keep the scandal from
dying out.
O. "Did you say in testimony before the
committee thatTiIton had never in conversation
with you accused Mrs. Tiltou of adultery?''
a. 81 did not was not lnterrogated on
that point as the official report OF the testimony
must show was asked ouly to say what Of
fence Tton charged Beecher with 10 his inter:
view with Bowen, December 26, 1870 and |
said he simply charged him on that OCCASION
with having made improper advances to his
wife, which she resisted. On other occasions
he used language which understand to imply
something worse than this, but do not re.
member that he ever used the word adultery
He told me he had forgiven Beecher and
scaled his forgiveness with kiss and yet
now and then he spoke Of Beecher to ME
in the most opprobrious language, call,
ing him more than once a damned scouodr1e2
evinciug frightful bitterness and malignity He
told me SO many different and contradictory
stories of the offence as to awaken strong sus-
pcion in my mind at times that he was either
crazy or that the scandal had little or no touD-
dation ~
