FARM AND FIREsIDE.

EARLY BEEF.-The most extensive
cattle feeder of Illinois, Mr.. Gillett. says
it takes an immense capital to carry steers
until three years old, before being proper
~ fitted for the shambIes; and for one, ne
is now done with it. He will dispose OF
his present three-year-olds this fall, and
never rear another lot to this age. Here
after he intends to keep his calves fat as
they grow I'D. He will induce them to
eat oats and grass before weaving. 30 that
they cannot fall away in flesh when taken
from sucking the COWS. He will continue
with oats and hay in winter, until they
can digest corn well, and then give them
plenty of that. By this system of feed
ing he can bring his high grade Shorthorn
steers up to 1850 POUNDS at twenty to
twenty eight months old. Young cattle
take on flesh and fatten much faster pre-
vious to attaining the age of two years
than to any subsequent period. In conse-
quence of this there is considerable profit
in pushing them up with plenty OF feed
thus far, rather than allow less feeding,
and keep them on till three years Old
Beeves of 1900 to l 800 pounds weight are
now preferred, both in the American and
English markets, to those older. for their
meat is found to be more tender. juicy
and savory than that of older and heavier
cattle.
Ir GREASE or oil is spilled on carpet,
sprinkle -four or fine meal over the spot as
soon as possible, let it lie for several
hours. and it will absorb the grease.
DELICIOUS chocolate drops are made by
melting the chocolate aud dipping little
pieces of pineapple in it, canned pineapple
will of course answer.

After Nineteen Years

On the Dist Of June, 1864. young
lady residing in Frankfort Ky,
sent a letter addressed to Lieut.. J.
X. 2. South, Company ID, Fifth Ken
lucky Infantry, Lewis Brigade, Vince
ler's Division which was forwarded
but never received 10y Mr.. South. After
the war the letter came into the pos
session of Rev f. c. Guerrant, of
Mount Sterling, who placed it in box
with a number of other memen,oes of
his comrades of the lost cause, where
it was discovered by Mr.. W. +. Haven
editor of The Mount Sterling Sentinel,
who forwarded the long missing letter
to Mr.. South. who received it one day
last week. The fair writer at the time
she wrote the letter was the betrothed
of Mr.. South, but is long since married
to another man, and now resides in
Louisville. Lieut. South is the happy
father of /, family residing in Reading,
Pa. Mr.. South intends TO send the
long-sealed letter after he reads the
contents to the lady as reminder of
their former friendship.

John SwfnsOn>s journalism

I will advocate Something with a
capital $. How often will it be issued9
Just as often as the public call for it.
You see this is new departure in 'our-
nalism. | am going to take ideas with
the people They know John Swiuton.
If they want TO hear what have to say
about my contemporaries, the news of
the day in the French style-light, not
too light, Just light enough-they will
buy my paper. If they don't care q fig
for my stale thinkings, they will give
me the cold shoulder and | will go back
to the demnitlon quill again. But all
my readers shall feel that they are ac-
quainted with the power behind the
throne | Will divest journalism of its
judicial. owl-like attributes and func-
tons. If my paper pronounces SEN
tence they shall know that that Is my
opinion. and attach only as much impor
lance to it as it is worth in the market
place. No more.
What a tremendous sham q news
paper is, anyhow 1t makes public
opinion. What! a fve-toed biped
whose trousers bag at the knees and
whose coat gapes at the elbows, who
sleeps in an attic, washes at public
fount sometimes, and gets the most of
his meals in basement in Beekman
street? He and his fellows make pub
lie opinion.
I've helped myself under such cir
cumstances. Now, let my utterances
be subject to discount on the indi-
vidual. Let me see whether they Will
pass in the currency of thought.

A Plea for Little Men.

Surely the anthropometrists will do
harm if they encourage the craze Of
tallness. 1t seems one ambition of
mothers that their boys should he tall
Napoleon and Wellington and Nelson
were short. The Romans dominated
Italy because individual physical in
feriority made them perfect their or
ganization. To say that the English is
the tallest race is simply to say that
they are hewers of wood and drawers Of
water for the rest The tallness of
Saxon invaders proves little. Although
reach was of more Importance in the
days of sword and AK than now. the
tall Saxon did not in point of fact oust
the shorter Celt or Neolith except in
places where command Of the sea gave
him power to concentrate rapidly. 1t
is to organization, sanitary education,
ETC., and not to tallness, or even to
weight, that one race must look to beat
another now. as in the days when Rome
beat the mountaineers. But If we are to
admire physical condition, surely we
should DO taught TO look to size round
tho chest in men, and to size, where
size is wanted in women, and not 10
tallness in either case.

Two Ways of Doing IL.

A celebrated singer told me this week
two stories of the elder Bennett. When
Parepa first came to this country she
called at the Bennett mansion and pre-
sented letter of introduction which
she brought from Europe. Mrs. Ben
nett, who was dressy and rather mag
nifcent society lady, received her in
the parlor, and, after welcoming her,
bore her to the library where her dis
tingushed husband was at his desk.
Father" said Mrs. Bennett, father !!
here is Nine. Parepa, come to ask the
protection of our paper"
Mr.. Bennett expressed his pleasure
at seeing her, but Parepa bridled per-
ceptibly and exclaimed earnestly:
No! no! Pardon mel You surely
mistake. do not come to ask the pro-
lection of The Herald, but only to pre-
sent personal letter of introduction
from your friends
Constraint and embarrassment fol-
lowed Mrs. Bennett was angry. The
call was short And The Herald never
gave word of cordial praise to Parepa
till both her host and hostess were
dead
Another: When Madame Gazzanigga,
the finest singer of her time, was in
this city, she called on Mrs. Bennett
one day and waited for her half an hour
in the drawing-room, and then left. On
letting her out, the servant asked:
"Who shall tell her called?"
"Tell her." said the prima donna,
that she will find my card on the
piano"
And there, sure enough, it was found,
"GaZzanigga, scrawled in the dust
that had blown in that summer morn
ing on the polished piano lid Instead
of being offended, Mrs. Bennett was at
once pleased by the impudence and
liveliness OF her caller, and thencefor-
ward the two were good friends, and
The Herald could never say enough for
ho,
