A lady correspondent writes as follows
concerning the Heather Chinee to the
Philadelphia TINES:
once took China boy who had re-
Gently been employed in boardiug-house
One of his duties was to attend the door
the same as he had cone in his former
place. AS he spoke English fairly | bad
no doubt he could do Improperly. At the
end OF the month when the regular bills
for the house became due, none Of them
came in. waited from day to day and
wondered what could cause such a delay
among people who were always so prompt
to collect One day had been out. and
as opened the door on my return found
in the hall delinquent notice from the
water company, saying if the dues were
not paid at once the water would be dis
continued. Full of wrath | FASTENED to
the Spring Valley office, on California
Street. TO inquire into the meaning Of
what / considered very strange proceed
ing ! told them | felt sggrieved that
they should serve me with such a notice
when the bill had pever been presented.
The collector Just then came IN and said
he had been there so many times and was
always met with some trivial excuse by
the China boy that he had no other re-
course. went home and interviewed
Johnnie and succeeded in getting the
whole story, lie began taking bills from
all sorts Of improbable places until all
the missing papers were found, and as he
told them off one after another, he eN.
planned thus "Him hkee money Me
tellee him YOU gone out. Him like
money Me tellee him you welly sick, nc
can see. Him like money. Me tellec
him you move" and so on 10 the end Of
the list. "Oh I too smart for him, said
John, who seemed delighted with his own
sagacity in avoiding payment, and seemed
much cTesttsllen at my anger. He SAID ;
Me ;hinkee you alice samee Missy Jones
You catchee money you keepee.'

The Central New York Cheese Harvest

Utica and Little Falls, \. Y, are the
great centres Of the dairying interest in
central New York, and as the reason OF
cheese selling closed December 9, the
years products are now counted. At
Utica, the total sales were 3D., 5S4 boxes
of 90 pounds each, or 1882 100 pounds
June yielded $1,000 boxes, nearly double
OF $4,000 of May; but July with %, 600
was the maximum month. To show the
fluctuations We give the months and the
thousands Of boxes each yielded ApTii
COCO. May $4,000. June $1,000, July
5000, August $4,000, September 81,
GOO, October $4,000, November $1,000,
two weeks Of December, 5000. The
value Of the 1882, 100 pounds Of cheese
was Sl,6S6,92 the average price being
S.OS7l7 per pound. A comparison with
last years Utica sales shows that this
year the average price Is about % per
cent, and more than three cents pound
below the price OF cheese in 1877; but
TINS Is the interesting feature, the yield
has been 80 much greater, that IN spite OF
tue heavy fall the total price has been
greater. The 1877 cheese brought ST.
429,gsl That Of ISIS brought 81 ESQ
g22-a gain Of S246,95l. or a quarter
Of a million, for 1873 At Little Falls
the increase Of pounds was not 20 great.
and the quality Of the cheese was not so
good. 30 that. though the sales Of ISIS
there were 2Sl,6lS boxes, against POS
ST. for lS77, the net result was Sl,4Sl,-
OH, against 81. 43l,OlS-or $4,000 in
favor OF lSI7. AT the two places this
wear. the sa.es were about 604, 200 boxes
Of 90 pounds, or S6,Oo0,OOo pounds
They brought SS,ll7,9S6. The year
ISIS a. respects cheese, JUS, as with IT,
syect TO grain and other farm produce
was an annus mirabiiS The season
opened unprecedeatly early. New cheese
VS. sold 81 Little Fails, April >,h, and
U;ics. April 18th. Previous to 1873 the
e. Of cheese April Is, 1873, was re-
ded As the wonderful Y early date. lu
ISIS 2asturage began very early. This,
b. me way, calls 10 mind that the winter
OF 1875 Vas an open winter, and that,
tho year around, Oldest inhabitants were
buy describing each season as unnatural
aud YET the result has been the unpree,-
d,uted yield OF nature. The pasturag,
IN 1873 was 30 excellent the cheese yield
W., great Little by ittie the pric" of
the bes; cream cheeses dropped until /;
went from III cents, at the Apr. open
ing, to : 2 cents, IN July; the drought in
the early part Of July reduced the mix
yield ten to twenty-five per cent, uutl
the moisture OF the latter part Of the
mou,h 50 stimulated the grass as TO give
a yield which aioned for the previous d.
clue The July shrinkage shows In the
August sales.

and harvested Oct 10Th, requiring l46
days to mature. The Early Dunton grew
and ripsned il 10 days For the Comp
ton, barn manure and Bradley's super
phosphate were used. The corn grew to
an astonishing size and height. An un-
usual proportion Of the stslks-87 per
cent-were infertile. Again, it was eight,
ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen aud eighteen
roved. The twelve rowed ears were the
first to ripen. The yield was IS bushels
Of sheled corn to the acre. The corn
