TEXAS TIcKs.-An animal resembling a
dog tick has made it's appearance on many
of the cattle in this neighborhood, and if
not speedily removed ends in the death of
the animal. We hear of the death of
number of feeding cattle and cows, and
dairymen are cautious about purchasing
for fear of these ticks which suck the blsod
of their victim, and speedily produce death.
These ticks were introduced here by ami
mails from Texas, purchased by our graziers
and dairymen at the drove yard in Phila-
delphia. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
some remedy will speedily be introduced
for their determination.

The attempt of a certain class of
persons to attribu ute the bad conduct of
some ministers and people to be the result
of their political opinions, is as false as it
is contemplate. Ministers and people of all
shades of politics, as we'll as of all denomi-
nations, have fallen from very high posi-
tions, and the exhibition of any disposition
to single out the sins of special men as the
legitimate result of their opinions is the
merest Pharseeism.

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.

The meeting of this new organization of
farmers at the Experimental Farm at West
Grove on Thursday last, was grand de-
monstratien of the numbers and enthusi-
asm of the Order in Chester and adjoining
counties. 1t was grand outpouring of
the very best of the people, who had come
together by railroad, carriage, horse and
foot, from far and near, to enjoy a day in
picnic style under the trees. The meeting
is supposed TO have numbered over 5000,
who stood upon the grounds or seated
themselves upon the seats erected in front
of the speakers stand, under the wide
spreading branches of the forest trees in
the lawn surrounding the mansion.
When the train from Philadelphia arrived
at the station largo number of the men,
bers of the organization it brought, from
points eastward, were met by carriages to
convey the ladies', and line was formed
under the marshalship of Chief Marshal
Lindley E. Way and aids Elwood Hood and
Lewis Good, of Pioneer Grange, West
Grove. Preceded by the Unionville brass
band they proceeded to the Farm in true
delegation style. Although the dust was
deep and the heat excessive, the spirits of
the Changers did not for moment flag, but
footman and rider were inspired by the
music and jollity of the occasion. The
trains from the west brought large num-
bers and carriages were continually arriv-
ing during the forenoon from all directions,
many of them coming from long distances.
Nearly all the Changers wore a silken
badge upon the breast, designating the
Grange to which they belonged. About
one-half the number were ladies, whose
presence lent charm to the occasion. At
the dinner hour well-flled baskets were
brought from the carriages of the visitors
and their contents spread upon tables
erected for the purpose under the trees, or
cloths spead upon the ground, in the orch
ard and wherever a pleasant place was
found, and thousands of keen appetites
were soon stated. Many Of those who had
no baskets were generously invited to par
take with those who came plentifuly pro-
vided and many partook of dinner at the
Farm mansion.
Speeches were made by ]. Lacy Darling
ton; John 1. Carter, Superintendent of the
Farm; Col. V. E. Poillet, of Bradford
county, and several others. Resolutions
were passed setting forth the object of the
Order, and meeting some Of the objections
urged against it. After which the meet
ing closed without a single incident having
occurred to mar the pleasure of the occa-
sion.

Wealth of Farmers.

When one takes dive into agricultural
statistics by way of ascertaining the actual
grievance of the average granger, he is
struck by the fact that there must neces-
sarily be variety of other classes who
are even worse off than the grangers
themselves. Mr.. S. B. Ruggles exhibits
taste for this sort of inquiry, and at the
Social Science Congress he gave the
results of his investigation in some
astonishing figures. He stated that the
people of ten States lying north of the
Ohio river owned, in 1850, farm property
valued at 1914, 000,0 900. The population
of these States had doubled in the past
ten years. In 1870, the value of this
farm property was So, 1872, 600, 900. The
value of the farm products was not given
in 1850 and 1860, but in 1870 it was
shown in these States to be 1918, 900, 900.
The farmer was not serf. He had no
tyrannieal landlord to Cypress him. 1t
was shown that 975 of every l 900 farmers
in this section owned farms. In twenty
years they had accumulated So, 900, 000,-
600 worth of property. The census of
1870 showed that there was 1000, 900
farmers. This would give an average
amount Of 81, 400 each. 1t Is also shown
that they had paid their help less than
ten per cent. Of their income. They had
paid s91 900, 900 for help. 1t was like
wise shown that each and all of these
poverty-stricken farmers above the age of
ten years we're in receipt of an income of
$3.50 In the light of this great progress,
what would be the result in the year /, 800?
In 1850, there were raised 300, 000, 900 |
bushels Of grain in these States; in 1860,
500, 600, 900 bushels; in 1870, S10,00O,-
900 bushels, or 81 900, 900 tons of grain.
The figures are stupenduous. Louis

The origin of the Brahma breed has
been the subject of much controversy,
Mr.. DAWN, among others, having en-
gagged in it, and presented TO the public,
in his Variations of Animals and Plants
Under Domestication, his views on the
subject. The most generally accepted
statement as to their origin is that they
are descended from pair of gray fowls
brought to the port of New York by .
sailor in an India ship, and that they
attracted attention by their unusual size,
and were purchased and taken to Con-
necticut. Chickens of this breed were
exhibited by Mr.. Hatch, at Boston, Mass,
in 1850

A New SALAD think I discovered
something new in the way of salads, the
other day, and if not new, something
very agreeable. Enjoying a saldde de
legames the other morning, it occurred to
me that cold baked tomatoes and cold
vegetable marrows would go well together.
| accordingly tried and mixed good, cold
baked tomatoes, not too much done, with
the skins off, and some good-sized vegeta-
bic marrow, adding some Tarragon vine
gar. The result was peculiar and most
delicious salad. Garnished with some of
the trifing vegetable accompaniment,
which good maker OF salad knows how
to use. it might be improved, but | could
desire nothing more delicious in the way
of salad during the warm days Of summer
and early autumn.

mread with Potato Yeast.


Some housekeepers have trouble
to procure good bread with potato
yeast. This is how Lucy G. Hoods
does it, as she reports TO the Country
Gentleman:
take one quart of tepid water, one
pint of tomato yeast, two teaspoonsful OF
salt, and -four enough to mix the dough
stiff enough at first; / knead till very
smooth; place the dough in bread-pan,
sprinkle over it a very little flour TO
prevent the cloth with which it should
be covered snugly, from sticking; then
turn over it smaller pan. or what il
better, large, round earthen pudding
dish, and set il TO rise in a warm place.
When quite light, / divide into four
parts, and knead thoroughly; then grease
two square pie tins with butter, (Which

two leaves in each tin; cover closely with
cloth, three or four thicknesses TO keep
the surface moist; set where it will keep
warm, and, when light enough to be an

in not very hot oven, an hour and ten
minutes. / turn occasionally while

peel, slice and boil three or four good
sized potatoes in just water enough to
cook them. When soft, rub them through
a collander while hot, with all the water
they were cooked in; then cool them with
as much cold water as is necessary TO mix
the bread, together with the potatoes and
yeast, not forgetting a little salt. This
is not much trouble, and the best substi-
tute for potato yeast that have found in
an experience of over thirty years house

DANGEROUS BATHS FOR LUNATICs.

Anthony Allaire. the Warden of the City
Lunatic Asylum, informed the Commissioners Of
Charities and Correction that while the patients were
bathing in the river yesterday OF them got beyond
his depth and had very escape from drowning
Some OF the attendants noticed that the patient sank
below the surface and did rise again. The tide
high and the deeper than usual at tho ac-
customed bathing place. II has been decided wise TO
encourage the patients bathing frequently, and no
danger Of their being drowned had ever been
apprehended. When it that the bather
did not return to the surface, assistance was at
once procured, and boat was launched
with ropes and appliances for rescung the drowning
man. When the boat reached place where the water
was about eight deep the body OF the bsther could
whrng about and being borne by the tide to-
ward the middle OF the Ropes were let down.

after is minutes hard work. the apparently eless man
gave a gasp AT this the efforts were redOuDed and IN
half an hour the patient considered out or danger
