day he called at this office to buy
three or four fonts Of job type, beg a
dozen old cuts and borrow some italic
to liven up his long primer He was
going out to an interior village to
Start weekly, and his bosom held
SO many hopes that not one single
fear could have been driven in with a
maui. He called again yesterday to
get the loan of twenty cents to make
up his fare to Toledo, and when
asked about his newspaper he groaned
and wiped tear. The paper had
suspended, the sheriff had the material
md the Office had been turned into
grocery.
1t will be thus with every Ohio
man who rushes up here to establish
newspaper and refuses to take the ad-
vice OF men who have been through
the mill. This Perkins had metropol-
itan journalism on the brain. In his
very first issue he had dropped the
Eve and "our," and his subscriD-
ers had not recovered from their as
tonishment when he fatty refused to
give society $50 worth of putting in
exchange for dead head ticket to
candy pull. All items beginning

tremendous boom in the dry goods
trade" or that Parker, the druggist,

tabled at once. and the wife of the
village president was allowed to go
fourteen miles on visit to her sister
without the slightest mention in the

Perkins started with a list Of 900
subscribers. He was impolitic enough
to ask them to pay up. and 200 melt
ed off the list inside of three days. He
might have held those who did pay if
he had been sharp, but misfortune
surrounded him. Col Blank was
thrown from his buggy and struck on
his ear, and the HeruM never hear,
of it, and consequently could not say
that "t the Colonel may rest assured OF
the sympathy of all Hoppervllle in his
great affection" " Old Mrs. Savoy
died of measles, and the Herald did
not say that her seven sons would
have seats in Congress. A member
Of the village board had boil which
the Herald missed entirely, and a
merchant tumbed down the cellar
stairs and the Herald recklessly let
slip the opportunity to mention his
fine stock of cheap dress goods.
Perkins got to the end OF his rope
in just eleven issues, and he went ou,
of town with the feelings of sheep
thief. He sat here in one of the edi-
torial rooms of this paper yesterday
and wept great teals and heaved sighs
of regret, but it was too late. The
golden calf of fortune had paraded
before him, bit he had refused to
seize its tail and be dragged up to
dignity and competence. He left for
Ohio last night in the caboose of a
freight train, cowed, crushed and dis
heartened; and yet it will not be six
months before some other man filled
with the enthusiasm Of metropolitan
journalism in town of three saw
mills and 400 inhabitants, will come
and 60 over the same road.-Ese

"Irichinae and TrichinOsis. 4"

The last issue of the London Medical
Times and Gazette, just received in Wash
ington, contains an elaborate article on the
official report on 'trichine and trichinosis, -
prepared by the late DR.. Glazier, of the
Marine Hospital service. After carefully
reviewing the statements of DIR. Glazier and
commenting thereon, the article concludes
as follows:
But as we have said before no country is
exempt (from trichinosis) 1t is, however,
but fair to state that American meat has
earned an ill repute greater than it de-
serves simply because greater attention
has been directed to it, Many outbreaks in
Germany referred to it (American meat
have been really caused by German-grown
hams, and the only one in This country (En-
gland was from a home-fed animal. AS re-
CARDS Germany, trade jealonsies have an
important part, and even scientific men
have allowed themselves to make rash and
improved assertions, though some, like
Professor Heschl, have honorably ad-
mitted their error American and German
hams, ETC., have been equally at fault,
and since so valuable supply of food can
not be cut of, and each one may protect
himself by proper care in cooking it, the
legislative action of the Continental Gov
ernments seems to US unjustifable, though
If 1T drive the authorities of the United
States to vigorous efforts for the rehabilita-
ton of their credit. it may be productive of
good. A number of documents bearing on
the subject completes the work, which we
can heartily recommend to the study of all
who tske an interest, commercial or scien-
tific in the question"
Reviews in the British medical journals
are said to be usually written by experts on
the particular branches to which they relate,
and the article from which the above is
quoted is, therefore considered to represent
the views of the medical profession in
England.

The Best Breeds of Cattle.

The question is often asked, which is the
best breed of cattle a farmer can keep? 1t
is impractical to answer the question with
out knowing for what purpose the animals
are raised and where they are to be kept. If
the production of beef is the sole object of
raising cattle, farmer can not do better
than devote his attention to raising Here
fords, Short Horns, polled Angus. or Devon
cattle. The former are preferable for farms
in good state of cultivation and well sup
piled with barns, and the latter for portions
of the country where animals are Obliged to
travel long distances in search for
food. and to get along with little protection.
The polled Angus and Devon cattle are of
com paratively small size and quite active,
and are accordingly we'll adapted to travel
ing. The are also hardy, and capable of en-
during considerable exposure without great
injury. The best dairy stock is afforded by
the Holstein. Ayrshire and Jersey cattle
Holstein COWS are generally preferred by
farmers who produce milk for supplying
towns and cities, Ayrshire cows by those
who are interested in the manufacture of
cheese and Jersey cows by those who desire
to make superior butter, or supply their
own tables with very rich milk and cream.
The Jersey is especially adapted to the
wants of persons in towns, as it
does well when kept in confiae-
ment consumes a comparatively small
amount of food, and continues to give milk
during the greater portion of the year
Many short horns, particularly those be-
longing to the Princess family, are large
mixers. The Holsteins, Ayrshires and
short-horns are readily fattened when they
have become too old to breed or to give a
large amount of milk. For working cattle,
there is nothing superior to the Devons, as
they are strong and lively. The short-horns
and Herefords mature early and on that &C
count are preferred by farmers who desire to
turn off their stock when the animals are
three years DID, or younger. In deciding
which breed of cattle to keep, a farmer
should take into consideration the purpose
for which they are designed and the kind of
treatment they are to receive.

Hydraulic cements do not shrink in har-
denlng and make an excellent mortar with
out any mixture of sand.
Combustion of coal under boilers is the
most complete with firings or charges at in
tervals of from fifteen to twenty minutes.
Lorin Stoddard, a farmer in Harrisville,
n. Y, in 1876 procured single kernel of
Centennial oats and planted it. His prod
uct seed grown from this single grain
amounted to 100 bushels by measure but
135 by weight, the grain being SO plump
and heavy.
Be sure that the corn you plant has a
much Importance as pedigree in horses and
cattle. Buy it from none but reliable seed
stores, though it may cost you a few cents
more bushel; it will amount to but little in
the end.
Recent experiments by Mr.. Waite at
Manchester, England, show that the super
stition that prevails in favor of using castor
oil to cool hot bearing is without any war
rant No vegetable oil is fit to use as a lu-
bricant, and castor oil is the worst of all, be-
cause the most viscous. If used it will
surely set the mill on fire, as it has in other
cases.
some sulphates and little sulphate of am
as fertilizer. If used in any large guam
tity it would destroy vegetation. The best
use to which we ever saw it applied was
upon the gravel walks to prevent the growth
of grass and weeds, which it did most effect
ually, at the same time making very firm,
dry and durable walk.
June, July and August are the best
months for layering roses. If the soil dries
quickly water the layers twice day, as they
must be kept moist. BY October they will
be ready to be taken from the parent plant.
Cut them off within two inches from the
tongue. Dig deeply with trowel to take
them up and transplant where they will re-
main. The following spring they should be
pruned down to three or four buds. Some of
them will flower in the summer.
Grubs in the head of sheep are believed to
be caused by the gadfy, which deposits its
eggs in the nostrils of the sheep during the
summer and autumn; although they cause
much pain they are not usually fatal. To
prevent them apply tar to the noses of the
sheep, occasionally during July and August,
or smear the feeding troughs with tar To
cure the sheep when the grubs are once
or syringe the nose with decoction of to-
bacco.
Our best farmers are beginning to learn
and, In fact, most of them have already
learned, that the time spent in destroying
weeds in the autumn Is we'll spent, and that
if they would save time in cultivating hoed
crops they must keep the weeds from seed
ing as much as possible in all parts of the
farms; little carelessness in this respect
will soon cover farm with weed seeds. A
single root of milk-weed in moving field,
if left unmolested, will spread over and take
possession of large field in few years,

messed the Inauguration of ''class day" at
Wilberforce. For this advance step the
class of 81 will be long remembered. The
exercises on this occasion were good. The
poem by class prophet E. A. Clark attracted
special attention. In the evening the
chapel and even the door-ways were crowded
to their utmost capacity with persons from
far and near to listen to the annual rhetor-
icals and prize orations. At this time the
standard of the week was by no means
lowered.
Finally Thursday dawned upon us, and
vehicles of every description and from every
direction, teamed in till the campas was
thronged with about 5000 people. To say
all about this day is too much, and to say q
part is too little. But the same intellectual
power and earnestness which characterized
the class through its course was also mani
tested in the final effort of each member.
The College social of this evening was great
