The report that Capt. Howgate has fled
to Belgium is discredited by many, es-
pecially the officers of the Department of
Justice. Some of Capt. Howgate's bonds
men, who are naturally apprehensive that
he has fed to parts unknown, called at the
Attorney Generals Office, and were in
formed that Capt. Howgate could be brought
to Washington at any time. While the Off
GERS did not say in so many words that
they knew the fugitive Captains where
abouts, the inference to be drawn is that he
is shadowed by Government detectives. If
it is true that the Attorney Generals Off

The Water Supply in Pastures.

The extreme heat and severe drought which
have prevailed over much of the country has
compelled attention TO the questions of water
and shade for stock, on the pari of many farmers,
In large numbers of cases the ordinary sources
of the water supply have failed, and in consider
able regions both labor to the stock owners and
suffering on the part of the animals have been
incurred. Even where cattle and other farm an
imals have been able 10 secure sufficient water
once or twice day by being driven TO il, they
could not he expected tO thrive 80 well as when
good water is accessible 10 them at all times.
The present loss and Inconvenience may prove
an ultimate gain To some farmers who have re-
lied on ponds, if they now dig wells, and thus
secure, by windmills, constant supply of pure
water, instead of the warm aud filthy liquid to
be found in most ponds. The quantity and
quality of water furnished 1t the outlets Of long
lines of tIls drains, is surprising 10 one not IA
miliar with the action of such drains but in
times of severe drouth this supply fails. For
the average farm, good weils-of large diameter,
unless the "vein" of water be strong one
with good pumps, tanks and n windmill are the
best sources of supply. Many such wells have
been dug OF deepened this summer sometimes Mt
considerable cost. II is more satisfaction to
know however, that If sufficient supply be OBJ
tanned now, there need be but little fear for fu-
ture years, whereas wells dug in wet seasons Of
ten fail.
We have known q combination of well and
tile drain, by running branch FROM the latter
into the well work satisfactorily. A disadvan-
tage is that this plan makes it necessary 10 have
the well in comparatively low ground.
There are regions in which good wells can
scarcely be found In such cases cisterns for col
lecting surface water may be the best attanable
source of supply. The water that runs off even
one acre of ground in the course of a year would
supply a considerable number Of animals. The
land should be kept in grass. When there is
even a slight slope, little attention in digging
shallow burrows to carry the water to the.cistern
will be all that is needed, unless il be planned

The Cause Of Whooping Cough.

Before the Academy of Sciences recently, q
paper was read by DIR. Henry A.. Mott, Jr., on
"a Fungoid Growth the Canse Of Whooping
Cough The lecturer began by saying that the
idea is prevalent that whooping- cough must run
its course, and If broken up, injurious effects
result. Authorities differ rs to the nature of
the disease, and owing to the different views
taken, a great variety of remedies are prescribed.
In 1s7l, Dr. Lndwig LetZerek began micro
scopic investigation to the cause of the disease
lie showed for the first time that the phlegm
coughed up in the early stages of the disease
contained elliptieal-shaped brownish-red fungus
spores. This discovery gave clcw TO its true
nature, and to a new channel of treatment.
These spores are lodged by infection under the
tongue, where they remain until they germinate
and spread along the sides of the tongue and
backward until they reach the larnyx and phar-
nyx. When the growth has extended thus far,
the full whoop is established, Small elevations
or Jumps can be seen under the tangue before
the patient begins whooping. The time required
for the termination of the spores is from nine to
fifteen days, varying in different persons. DR..
Lctzeriek proved his theory by introducing
spores into the trachia of young rabbits, in which
he produced all the symptoms of the disease. As
quinine readily kills all fungus plants it is found
TO be an efficient remedy, the speaker said. In
administering this the immediate result is good,
the patient usually not whooping more than
once day. The best way to administer it is to
place powder upon the tongue and let II grad
ually dissolve, but as children object to the bit
ter taste it can be given in other ways, but al
ways so as to be dissolved in the mOuth.-Sec

Wnrk For the Month

WINTER FEEDING FOR Cows.-The yield of
milk and butter in the summer depends greatly
upon the winter feeding. All the feed given to
cows is not consumed without return. The ma
nure gives good dividend upon the outlay, and
the animals are storing up energy and strength
to be made available afterwards. The winter is
the season for liberal feeding, and not for short
commons" which is but another term for half
starvation.
REGULAR rations are absolutely necessary.
Steady feed means steady thrift and profit.
Scarcely any two animals have the same appc-
tites. In feeding, observe closely and know the
habits OF each animal; the winter is the time for
this study.
MINED FEED.-Samcness pals upon the appc-
tite: a variety of food encourages il. \ good
farmer loves to see his animals eat, and the more
they eat, and hcalthfully digest, the greater are
the owners profits Cut or pulped roots VIII he
found the best basis for winter feeding, and with
these corn-fodder and oat straw may he given
literally, saving the hay for the early spring.
Coop WoRK.-One of the most important hints
that we can offer to our farmers, is 20 do only
good work, for this only pays; aud never to be-
gin job unless il can be well finished: for job
of work left half undone, is frequently worse
than if not commenced 1t is better to put off
the beginning of a job than 10 fail in carrying
it through by beginning before one is ready for
the work.
THE chinch bug has been unusually destructive
the past season. Its winter harbors are in the
stubbles and any standing weeds that remain in
the fields. Doubtless the rayages of this pest
are encouraged by the safe shelters 1t finds in
this way. Wheat farmers may take hint from
this, that cleaner culture may be found an etfec-
tive method of destroying this, and other pests,
by depriving them of winter quarters.
Corn FoDDEI.-COrn stalks that out in
the field should he made safe. either by stacking
or putting under cover, soon as possible. Hay
is scarce and will he dear, and fodder of all
kinds is worth caring for; to expose il TO the
weather, is too often done. is injurious and

To make this pie the epicure leaves ont the

coarse towel to completely dry from the liquor.
Next roll them in finely-siited dry bread crumbs

dried bread crumbs rolled fine enough for use.
Line the sides of yellow or white baking dish

CLEANING BRAss.-The Government recipe for

stone jar; then place ready in pail of fresh
water and box of sawdust, Pip the articles
TO he cleaned in the acid, then remove them
into the water, after which rub them with saw
dust. This Immediately changes them to o brill
liant color If the hrass Is greasy, it must be first
dipped in strong solution of potash and soda
in warm waterI this cuts the grease so that the
acid has the power to act, The HaRstactrer
says that rustcd steel can be cleaned by wash
ing with solution Of half an ounce of cyanide
of potassium in two ounces of water, and then
brushing with paste composed of half an ounce
of cyanide of potassium, half onnee Of CASTLE
