hog cholera, says he has long practiced charring
refuse corn cobs for his hogs, and when thorough
y blackened he sprinkes the cobs with SALT

We have often alluded to the beautiful
drives about Towsontown and one of the most at
tractive among them is over the Dulany's Valley
pike to Meredith's foard, and from thence along
the west side of Loch Raven to the Cromwell's
bridge road and thence by the latter road home
The roads are in fine condition and the drive can be
easily made in two hours. Those who are fond
of driving should not overlook this beautiful
route.
County people appear to think that there
is no limit to the good nature of editors. They
impose upon us their notices of strawberry festi-
walls, &C., and the idea never once appears to oc-
cur to them that every one of these notices should
be paid for. We are always willing to help a
good cause but friends, business is business, and
if you took the proper view of it you would en-
close dollar note with every one of your Gre
quests"

booming.

be no cause for complaint. When Mr.. Cooper
tackles road he puts on the work where it will
do the most good. Other supervisors might learn
some valuable lessons from him.
"A work on "Healthy Dwellings" claims
that new house, containing 100, 900 bricks leach
brick sucking up from to 10 per cent. of its
weight of water,) at a reasonable calculation,
1000 gallons of water in it. All this quantity
of water has to be removed by evaporation, and
the rapidity of this process will depend on the
tension of the vapor at given temperature. The
rate of transmission of heat through building
materials depends upon their texture and COM
position.
In March, 1881, Miss Ella A. Ward,
