An Exploded Fiat Swindlsr Organ.

The venerable Peter COOPER and
what is left of the so-called 'tNational
Greenback Labor" party are probable
little chagrinned at the sudden col.
| lapse of Shupe aud his paper. II. p
Herdman, former editor of the Adro
cate, publishes letter stating that
Shupe has received money from all
over the country for more than five
hundred pianos, organs aud sewing
machines, which he had never deliver
ed. The subscription list ran up to
very nearly five hundred thousand
copies, aud Shape sold his fear
fully and wonderfully edited fiat
sheet for twenty-five cents per
annum. II was dear even at that
price although the money didn't COW
err the cost of the white paper.
Shupe is now bankrupt aud the
Advocate defunct.
Says Mr.. Herdman:
"The Advocate has suspended, i'm
mensely in debt for white paper and
every thing else il could get on credit.
How much money has been secreted
no one knows, but il is certain that a
Journal which Was most promising in
its inception has been destroyed, and
the most gigantic confidence game
that was ever perpetrated on people
exposed

ands of Subscribers who forwarded
money TO make purchases that
they will never see either money or
goods.

When to Eat.

In a paper read at domestic econo-
my congress, held at Birmingham,
England, not long ago, DIR. Wilson
gave the following hints on the proper
times for eating for different classes of
workers; For the active outdoor la
borer and artizan an early breakfast
before work, midday dinner, with
an interval of rest, and supper after
the days work is over, have long been
proved by experience to be the most
conducive TO health. For the business
man, a later breakfast, midday
luncheon and late dinner after the
days work is over, is the best arrange
ment. For literary men, who write
more in the evening than during the
day, an early dinner and late supper
will be found 10 be the most advanta-
geous for steady work. Idlers, to enjoy
lie, if they possibly can, should dine
early if they intend to spend the even
ing at ..thcaters and the like; but If
accept invitations freely, they should
be careful not to eat too much at the
mid-day meal.

The Kansas Farmer says the best
time TO sow blue grass is in February
aud March. 1t may bc.presumptious
for a country weekly to differ with SO
high an authority as the Farmer, but
our experience, running over .scvcra
years, compels u.s. The best time to
sow blue grass i'm Kansas is imme
diately preceding a rain in the last
days of September or the first days OF
October, and for thc.rcason that spring
sown seed fails to grow sufficient
depth of root before the hot sun OF
June kills the grass, both root and
blade.-EAGLE.
The agricultural editor" of the
Ledger also has en- opinion in this blue
grass business. In Kansas blue grass
ripcns its seed in June. and that dis
tinguished authority called common
sense" would seem TO dictate that the
best time, therefore, TO sow the eeed is
in the early summer. We have sown
blue grass seed at various times dur
ing the year, and the best success we
ever had was from that sown in the
early spring. But we are of thcssopin-
ion that it matters but little what
time of the year the seeds are placed
in the ground if the condition of the
soil and the weather are favorable for
a. al Of tho MS
sential to its growth are: the seed
should be thoughtfully covered in the
first place; and the ground should be
rolled, hammered, or otherwise pack.
ed down until it is perfectly solid.
Every observing person doubtless has
noticed that blue grass flcurishes best
where the conditions would seem the
nest unfavorable for its growth. For
instance, il seems to spread more rap
idly ant form a more compact sod
where ii Is frequently eaten of
by stock, and where it is tramped up
on the most. We have frequently no
ticcd that where blue grass mad taken
root upon the prairle, anu Wnere the
ground was frequently grazed and
tramped over by cattle, and that in
spite of dry weather, much tramping,
much grazing and occasional raids
from grasshoppers, il floarished snd
yearly widened its domains. From
these facts we conclude: First, that
the seed shonld be sown early in the
spring; second, that it should be well
covered third, that the ground should
be thoroughly rolled with a heavy
iron roller after the seed was placed
in il. We may be wrong in these con-
illusions if SO, we hope some more
"intelligentr farmer will correct us

Potatoes.

The potato containing the greatest
amount OF starch is the most valuable
variety, and ready means Of
testing different varieties may be
found both interesting and economi-
cal. The specific gravity of the tu-
bers is, it appears, n fairly correct
method of estimating the food value
of different samples, and, in rough
and ready, but nevertheless approx
mately correct way, this may be as
certaincd by putting cleaned potatoes
into a strong solution of salt and
water. If the solution is. strong
enough all the tubers will float, but
by adding water to dilute the solu-
ton some will be found TO sink.
These are the best potatoes, SO far
as nutriment value is concerned
those that float after repeated addi-
lions of water being the worst.

To Dry Q Cow.

In drying cows care should be taker
that all the milk should be drawn al
each milking. The habit which some
have of only partially emptying the
udder, from fine to time, when dry
ing cows, is highly Objectionable, and
the milk left in the bag becomes thick
and putrid, causing irritation and in
flamation and not unfruquently result
ing in the loss of teat or a portion OF
the bag the next season. When cows
are being dried up they should be ex-
amined at intervals of a few days, and
every drop of the accumulated milk
should be drawn from the uddcr.
