 Charles Y. Martin is ill receipt of a letter, dated Lexington, Indiana, July B, from our former townsman, John $. Powers, in which he recounts the changes in his native town, Scioto, af- ter an absence of fOrty-two years. He feels himself "a stranger in strange land" and expresses the determination to be again on the wing, to be any place but there, not because it is not a beautiful country and land of plen- ty, so plenty that eggs sell for five cents per dozen, butter ten cents per pound. potatoes thirty cents a bushel and every thing else proportionately low, so low that hotel board, pie and custard included, is only $2.50 per week, onc-fourth of what grub is in a mining camp, and still Powers is not satisfied. He misses the ring of the hammer on the head of the drill. No mining talk there; it is the crops and ruling price of cereals that engages the listening ear. Mines and mining is no affair of theirs, nor do they care if there is not paying mine in the world. Powers wants to go some where; he thinks he languishes for the  wlde west, for Idaho if it were not so cold and the summer so short. He has Honduras in his minds eye, but is not quite resolved to take that step because of the rainy season which will continue until November. Our advise to our old and esteemed friend John is to become benedict, to link his destiny with widow, fiat, fail and forty,' be with her as a twin cher. ry on single stem, and if he cannot live without camping out, he can pitch his tent in the garden, within ear shot of Mrs. Powers, when she re. QuircS him to rock the cradle, and re. call to memory what Cowper has said that Domestic happiness is the only biI.s that h2 surNjy"d tho fall!

Mrs. John Cline, and the eldest daughter of Frank Cline, are dangerously ill. Mrs. Cline is afflicted with paralysis of the limbs and organs of speech, the result of diptheria. Three other children of Frank Cline have the disease, but are improving, and the doctor thinks will recover. The disease was contracted on lower Tonto, where three children of the Crabtree family died of 1t. The Clines have moved into a house opposite the Buffalo shelter. A sign has been put up warning people of the presence of the disease. Diptheria is contagious and every precaution should be taken to prevent its further spread.

Proportion OF Meat to Food.


Some American stockmen are now
exercising great care in determining
the exact quantity of food consumed
to produce a given increase of live
weight in animals, and also the relative
proportions of meat to offal. The Fat
Stock Shows at Chicago have done
much to stimulate experiments in this
direction, and will do much more.
Some of the agricultural experiment
stations are engaged in this special
work. A general conclusion thus far
is that well-bred, moderately fattened
oxen should yield fitty-eight to sixty
pounds of dressed carcass to 100 pounds
of live weight; while an excessively fat
O2Shay give from G5 up to 70 per cent.
Moderately rattened shorn sheep should
dress IS per cent of the live weight (;
excessively fat as high as Gj per cent.
The relation of the dressed to the live
weight is so well understood by butch
ers who buy beef cattle in the great
New York markets that the sales and
prices are there based upon the dressed
weight of the four quarters. Thus. if
good quality cattle are reported at ten
cents it means so much per pound for
what the four quarters will weigh. An
old rule Is that forty-two pound of offaI

lowing train of thoughts: Did Mr..

ately intend to win her love and when,

beyond his plausible manner and fair

these possibilities suggested themselves,
