4 New Food for Cows.

In the Oakland Correspondence of
the Vinton, Ohio, Record, we find
the following paragraph:
another thing that renders Oak
land desirable place for invaids is
the plentiful supply Of good milk.
A great many cows are kept who
feed on the sweet and nutritious grapes
with which the country abounds.'
The correspondent undoubtedly
wrote it grasses" but the intelli
gent compesiter, who is evidently
not a granger, easily mistook the
double for p, with the above
ludicrOuS result.

At the Summer Resort.
A Few Hints to the Lady Visitors.

NV AAsuec w oAsO A<suJ
In the first place, select a resort
where there is no danger of meeting
anybody who knows you or has ever
heard of you. This will give you
first-rate opportunity of putting on
all the airs imaginable.
In order TO deceive the other
boarders into believing that you are
of more than common importance,
engage dozen or twenty persons to
send you letters daily. If you adj
vance the money to pay the expense
of stationery and postage, and only
require your correspondents to send
blank paper, there should be no diff
Guilty in arranging this matter salts
factorily.
Ifany one should compliment any
of your dresses as they appear. you
should say. "Oh, I'm only wearing
my old buds, you know; they're
good enough for this place." Then
delicately hint at the elegant things
in your other trunk.
If you have exhausted your re-
sources in garmenture before the
close of your stay, begin at the be-
ginning and again 60 through the
list.
1t may 80 happen that those who
have seen the first part of your dress
rehearsal have gone. and a new lot Of
boarders taken their places. In that
event, your programme can be re.
peated with impunity.
Should it be otherwise, and the old
boarders remaining. you can casually
remark, as often as possible, that
"Really, Pm sorry / brought my
best things. 1 havn't opened my
other trunk yet, and l don't believe
l shall now. This is no place to dress
you know"
If possible, do not have your hus
band with you. Husbands are fire.

be of interest to some OF your readers.
The splendid weather of the past
week has afforded the farmers ample
time to secure their hay and grain
crops, and get them in their barns.

enough. The farmers are now en-
gagged in cutting and taking up their
eat crop, which is of good quality,
perhaps the best crop for several
years we'll filled and heavy. Buck
wheat, corn and potatoes, Though
there are plenty of bugs,) are doing
well. Taking the crops throughout,
we have no just cause to complain.
