ADangerOus Secret Exposed.

A RATHER romantic affair, with pa
thetic incidents, has developed in the
Office of Col. Casey, the Commissioner
of Public Buildings, within the past few
days. The chief clerk of the office,
named Sunderland, is a Scotchman who
has held the place for twelve years,
having rendered faithful serice during
all of that time. 1t is said that he has
handled vouchers for over $4,000, 900,
and all his accounts have been kept in
the best manner. He was regarded by
Col. Casey as very valuable man
His salary has been $4,000 year. He
had a personal friend in the Office, for
whom he had obtained the appointment.
Five years ago he impaired the fact in
confidence to this man that he was de-
serter from the Seventh United States
Cavalry. 1t seems that he enlisted soon
after his arrival in this country, but not
liking the hard service under Custer, he
deserted and came to Washington. He
changed one of the letters of his name,
but did not hide at any time, and sue
ceeded in obtaining a clerkship. He
got into a quarrel last week with his
friend in the Office, who revenged him
sell by revealing the TACT that Sunder-
land was a deserter from the army.
There was nothing for the Adiutant-
General to do under the circumstances
except to direct that he be arrested, and
this was done to-day. He will of course,
lose his place, and if he is not court.
martialed, he will at least be given q
dishonorable discharge from the service,
which will prevent him from getting
any employment under the Government
Sunderland married a Washington lady
some years ago, and has family. The
case is a very hard one. Sunderland
wife appeared at the Department to-day
to plead his case, but it was, of course,
useless for her to do so. Sunderland
himself says he is glad the facts are
known, as the secret has long been 9
burden to him, and he is relieved from
any further dread of Wash.

ONE Of the latest swindles noticed Is
the following, clipped from the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal IL comes this time
as O "buttor cOntractn "a couple OF
well-dressed fellows drive up to the
house Of the expected victim and make
an engagement with him TO take all his
butter for year at high price. A
written agreement is then made, and in
due time the " contract - is returned in
the form of note held by third party,
which the farmer is obliged to pay. The
safest plan is to make no written con-
tracts with strangers who thus suddenly
turn up and of whom nothing is known g
DESPITE the very high butter produce
OF some cows reported from time To
time, the average butter produce Of the
United States is much below what might
be expected. Prof. Atwood, in reierr.
ing to the exaggerations abroad in ref.
erence to the production Of butter in
the country, says in a communication to
the Country Gentleman: 1.-THE average
of Orange County, N. Y, is only 1876
pounds per COW. For the whole coun-
try, deplorable as the fact is, the aver
age butter product cannot be over 12j
| pounds a year for each COW, and is
| more likely to be as low as 120 pounds
Seven millions Of COWS would then pro.
duce 84O,0O0,0O0 pounds of butter an.
nually." Does not Canada, as well as
the States, need more careful selection
of dairy stock?
BITTER cream, says the Rural Nel
Yorker, may be caused by the cow eat.
| ing bitter weeds, as rag weed, boueset,
willow leaves and twigs, etc. Or il
may be caused by the COW being iniuri-
ously affected by the hot weather, or by
impure water. Or it may be caused By
a fungus growth in the cream when kept
in a cellar that is not well aired or has
anything moldy in it. Or the cream
may be kept too long, or the churning
may be too long continued. If the bit
terness is supposed to be from any cause
without the COW, good pinch of saltpetel
in each pan of milk may change it. If il
is within the COW give her half an ounce
of saltpeter once a day, for two or three
days; this will help to carry off the i'm
purities through the kidneys. Othel
causes may be removed or prevented.

The Home Market for Cheese.

WHAT " A Western Farmer" has to
say on this subject in recent number
of the Rural is excellent advice to
dairymen, and is the true method to
extend the consumption of this, one of
their greatest products. But in order
TO suit small families, a sufficient num-
ber of cheeses should be made, not to
exceed weight of over three to five
pounds. OF such sizes they could be
consumed after cutting, before drying
up or molding. The best shape for
them is like that of the common round,
fiat form. If in balls, or pineapple
shape, the rind is so thick as to make
too great II percentage of loss in cut
ting up for the table. These cheeses
should vary from middling to best
quality, so as to be sold at different
prices, and the manufacturers name
be stamped upon them, so that the pur-
chasers could be sure of their quality.
A fancy shape is not requisite to obtain
a good price. Customers would only
look to the quality.
MY family being small, am obliged
now to purchase two or three pounds
of cheese at a time of the grocer,
which are cut from a large, common
shaped cheese. If l buy more at a
time, and keep it in quite dry place,
before my family can consume the
whole the last part becomes so hard as
to be uneatable, If put in dampeI
place, it then gets moldy. Small
cheeses could be easily kept till con
sumed, without danger of getting
either too dry and hard, or moldy, as
the rind would protect them from botf
of these for a reasonable length o.
time.-Cor. Rural NetD Yorker.

Take Care Of the Mllkers.

THE care of COWS during the hot
season is one of prime Importance to
the dairyman. This is the season when
they necessarily shrink in the quantity
of milk given unless properly fed and
looked after The results attained by
those who take pains to keep up the.
flow of milk in their herds show that it
pays to supplement the food taken in
pastures by regular feeding in the
stables. You cannot get milk unless
the animal has food to make it from.
When pasturage is short and scarce.
and it takes about all the animal can
crop 10 sustain life, extra food is a ne
cessity if a respectable yield OF milk is
expected. Nutritious sOiling with what
ever the farmer happens to have,
whether corn or oats or rye, will do
much toward sustaining the flow. 1t is
even more profitable to feed grain or
shorts or meal-cake when pasturage is
thin than to allow the cows to dry up.
Drink should be given at regular times.
Twice day, when the cows are
brought up to be MIXED morning and
evening, is often enough even in the
hottest weather, and frequently they
will drink only once. The food upon
which they live contains from sixty to
eighty per cent. of water, and this sue
culence supplies a large portion of the
moisture needed. Hcattle are watered in
this way at trough or brook of clear
running water, they will not need water
in the pasture where it is often swamp
water or otherwise impure and filthy.
Extra feeding also allows cattle to lie
down in the shade during the hottest
part of the day, which is a desirable
thing. 1t has been said that excessive
heat is more injurious to milch COW
than short feed. Shade in the pasture
is therefore almost a necessity during
the hottest part of the summer. Flies
also are extremely irritating to cattle at
this season, and there seems to be no
means of avoiding them. If the farmer
is lucky enough to own land bordering
upon a large creek or stream, the COWS
can 90 into the water and stand for a
time, switching the water up to their
backs with their tails and thus keeping
themselves comparatively free from an
nOyance of insects. But as this is not
often the case, the giving of extra feed
will permit the stock to rest a portion
of the time, and the eXertion is not so
great in driving off the flies as when
they are obliged to crop the pasture and
whisk their tails at the same time. In
fact too good care of cattle is impossi-
BILE at this time of year, and the man
who makes the most out of his herd is
the one who treats them with the great
est generosity. Utica IN r. Herald.
