Kospehoe g Co.

But few have an idea Of the amount of
business done by Quincy wholesale mer-
chants. For years there has existed a
strong rivalry between Peoria and Quincy
for supremacy with the odds about even.
Among the most popular firms in the
latter place is j. Kespehoe & Co.. dry
goods dealers, who do heavy business
among the river towns and on the line of the
c., B. & @. railroad. This firm is COM
posed of active, energetic business men,
and their customers can be found all over
the state. The house has a splendid rep
utation and none more deservedly so. Mr..
kespehoe is pleasant, courteous gentle
man, well versed 10 his business and widely
known among the trade. Rock Island
merchants have bought of this concern to
considerable extent and. as far as we can
learn. the trade has always been as repre-
scented,

1t is TO be hoped that the Union will not
be discouraged in its laudable efforts to
assist the mayor in making his appoint

commendable on the part of paper that

very much fa;tered over the disposition OF
such an astute statesman and editor with

Cheese from Potatoes.

A foreign journal describes the process
of making sort of cheese from potatoes
in Thuringia and Saxony, which is as
follows:
After having collected quantity OF
potatoes of good quality, giving the pre-.
ference to large, white kind, they are
boiled in caldron, and, after becoming
cool, they are peeled and reduced to a
pulp, either by means of a crater or NOR
tar. To five pounds of this pulp, which
ought to be as equal as possible, is added
one pound of sour milk, and the necessary
quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded
together, and the mixture covered up
and allowed to lie for three or four days
according to the season. At the end OF
this time it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets, when
the superfluous moisture escapes. They
are then allowed to dry in the shade, and
placed in layers in large vessels, where
they must remain for fifteen days. The
older these cheeses are the more their
quality improves.
Three kinds are made-the first and
most common is made as detailed above
the second, with four parts of potatoes
and two parts of curdled milk; the third
with two parts of potatoes and four parts
of COW or eve milk. These cheeses have
this advantage over other kinds, that
they do not engender worms, and keep
fresh for number OF years, provided
they replaced ina dry situation and in
well-closed vessels.

Ash 81 aa Cattle Feed

The Maine Farmer says: One of oul
substantial subscribers, in recent con
versation, gave his experience in treating
neat stock affected with the habit of eat.
ing wood, chewing bones, etc. His cat.
tie were one spring affected in this way
They became thin in flesh, refused to eat
hay, and presented a sickly appearance.
He put about four bushels of leached
ashes in his barnyard and threw out to
them about a shovelful each day. They
all ate it with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture he put one
peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it all
up and gnawed off the grass where il
had been lying. The cattle began to i'm
prove, gaining flesh and looking better
than they had for several years. He
now gives one quart of ashes, mixed
with the same quantity of salt, to twelve
head of cattle, about once a week, and
finds it to agree with them wonderfully
