BOkHARA.
A Strange City-How Business is Carried
On-Methods of Healing the Sick.

A Strange City-How Business is Carried
on-Methods of Healing the Sick.
On approaching Bokhara we stood
before city reminiscent of scripture
language, with wall great and high,
having, not twelve, but eleven gates,
shut, indeed, by day, though they GER
tainly were by night, and so fast that
none might go out or come in. The
scene was not street of old London,
full of nineteenth century people, but a
city out of which there came from the
Viceroy to meet and escort us an array
of dignitaries of whom, mutatis mutan-
dis, one might have said: These are
the princes which King Solomon had;
Azariah, the son of Zadok the priest;
Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shis-
lha, scribes; Jehosophat, the son of Ahi-
1ud, the recorder; and Benaiah, the
son of Johoiada, over the host" and
so on.
Business is carried on in twenty-four
caravanserais and six timis, besides
ordinary shops, the various kinds of
merchandise, as in other Asiatic towns,
being sold apart. So likewise the vari-
Gus trades are for the most part local
lied in several streets, anything like
universal provider" being quite I'M
known in Bokhara. Nor is there a
booksellers shop, or printing press,
much less newspaper. Their weights
and measures are splendid Illustration
of the rule of thumb. For instance,
the olchine Suggestive of the cubit) is
measured from the elbow to the end
of the foretinger; the kulatch is the
space between the tips of the fingers
when the arms are outstretched; the
giaz is the measure from the center of
the breast to the end of the fingers;
and while in Bokhara oil and honey
are sometimes sold by the chuyeh, which
is the one cubical measure they pos
sess and that of variable size, in Kara
teghin corn is sold by the hatful, ire
spective of whether the vendors head
be large or small.
OF course they have no hospitals.
We gave out that those who were sick
might come to be treated, which gave
us an insight into some of their dis
eases. / need refer only to two. For
the treatment of the insane they have
a special mullah called ishan, who is
brought to a man when he begins to
get silly, and who reads over the pa
tent, for week or two, prayers from
the Koran. If this proves una

they are fed to certain standard of
production, and the yield is maintained.
The lavish feeder also has his harvest
in case of drought, for by feeding he
has his average yield, while other
diaries ara only giving starvation
messes; and even if the good Lord
should send abundant September rains,
the dairy that has shrunk so badly will
not return to a great flow; but the
granted dairy that has been tided
over, and paid for its grain twice over
at that, does show a great gain.
and therefore a double profit. | am
inclined to think the New England
farmer is making a big point with a
means we in Ohio are laughing at,
scoffing at, calling a 'ssour-krout
factory" and all that, and that is the
silo. If they can fill their great pits,
and by the LIST of October begin feeding
their ensilage and keep up the flow Of
milk until far into the winter, and by
having a few fresh cows to bridge the
chasm between the two ends of the
milking season sell forty-two-cent but
ter all winter in Boston and New York,
it seems to me that we had better ex-
pertinent at little before calling them
lunatics, and declaring that they are
feeding injurious food to their stock.
Did any one ever hear of New England
farmer having his ensilage butter re-
turned to him as unsalableP Did any
one ever hear of his dairy getting off
their feed, and dying from hunger and
other dire calamities, by feeding en-
silagep If he, with ensilage, can make
No. butter, and have his cows look
and appear as if ION summer grass"
should not we Western farmers look a
little more thoroughly into this matter
before we decide against itp There is
not a doubt but Ohio dairymen have
got to make longer seasons and get a
larger average yield, and make dairy
ing more continuous, or else we will
hear something drop, and to our dis
advantage. We can not longer afford
to laugh at the success of other dairy
men, and dismiss it as "new-fangled"
and visionary" Their success is from
more and abundant foods, calculated
to stimulate the milk flow, and is Sc
cured by soiling in some of its forms,
and by that, and that alone, is the sue
cess secured. Thomas Ensley, in Ohio

HOG KILLING.
1t Is Not Profitable to Keep Fat Hogs
Through the Winter.

Through the Winter.
1t is expensive to keep large hog in
cold weather, and in fact at any season
it is rarely profitable to keep a hog
after he is a year old; the most profit is
to kill when from nine months to
year old. A pound of pork is
made on hog cheaper before than
after he weighs hundred pounds;
therefore, as soon as hog is large
enough to make good pork, it is best to
kill him, if the weather is cool enough.
For home use pork from a hog that
will dress three hundred is better than
from one that will dress six hundred.
The old practice of getting a pig in the
autumn to keep over winter, and not
killing him until he is about eighteen
months old being very generally aban-
doned, and the practice of killing twice
a year is becoming very general. Apig
at eight or nine months old, if he eats
well, will dress two hundred and fifty
to three hundred pounds, which is large
enough to make good, sweet pork.
No doubt it is more profitable to fat
ten hogs in the summer than in the win
ter, because in cold weather it requires
considerable food to keep up the heat
of the body, much more than in the
summer.
Our ancestors were very particular
not to kill their hogs, or their beef
cattle, in the old of the moon, believ-
ing that if they did, the meat would
shrink in the pot; but this, with many
other moon theories, have passed away,
and but little is thought about the size
of the moon when killing time comes,
or when it is thought to be time to
NOW bushes; even the weather is
not considered so much now as it
formerly was. Fifty years ago every
farmer killed his own meat, and,
having no ice houses, if he did not wait
and kill in cold weather, his season for
eating fresh meat would be very short;
but now all is changed; fresh meat can
be kept long time at any season, and
can be bought in small quantities in
almost every town; therefore, if the
farmer desires to kill hog before cold
weather sets in, he can sell most of the
lean pieces, anG buy when he wants it.
We do not realize the value of this
change. Should we be obliged to go
back to the practice of fifty years ago,
we should find it to be a serious ques-
ton, when was the best time to kill
hogs, and still more serious question
as to how to keep the pork if warm
weather should set in after killing time.

VILLAGE CHURCHES.
Beautiful Buildings to be seen in Eng.
land and Wales.

Beautiful Buildings to be seen in Eng
land and Wales.
The village churches in the south
west counties, or cider counties as they
are sometimes called, are particularly
rich. Many of them are of Tudor
Workmanship, and are built on a much
larger scale than the tiny edifces of
Saxon aad Norman times. When
Henry VII. was building his beautiful
chapel in Westminster Abbey, many of
his lieges caught the same feeling and
taste that prompted his outlay on this
work. and reared in their own locali-
ties edifices that were in the same
style, without attempting to vie with
its richness. Then, perhaps, to these
structures porch was added when
Queen Elizabeth was making her sum-
mer progresses, and subsequently, fur
ther alterations were effected when King
Charles had come to his own, tinged
with classic taste, telling of foreign
travel, all of which yield a lighter air
and tone than the work of the masons
of earlier centuries.
Abbey Dore church, near to Here
ford, is an unusually fine village
church, with much work in it of these
Halter times-mysterio vast, indeed
as though built with vague longings in
the hearts of its builders for some
greater purpose. Within three miles
or so, at Kilpeck, is small, massive
Norman church of great curiosity,
with some lingering traces on it, at its
angles, of the Flooding touch of previ-
Gus Saxon masons.
There are little Welsh churches, built
of stone, with slated roofs, so plain, so
featureless, that it is difficult to De sure
they are not barns There are others,
again, no larger, that arrest all passers-
by with their plaintive beauty. Here
is Llanbedr church, of the dashing,
darling Artro, 1t is full of delicacy
and grace, though consisting only of
the usual nave and chancel, with a
small bell-cot on the west end. A gen.
erous giver, however, recently added a
small vestry and an open-timbered
porch. Like the rest, it stands in
churchyard, only the tombstones lie fiat
upon the earth, fringed with the grass
that grows around them.
These memorials of departed Welsh
villagers are made of slate and incised
with Welsh inscriptions, giving the
names and the dates of the births and
deaths in the usual way. Over the en-
trance to the church is small slate
tablet, inscribed with an admonition,
which is likewise in Welsh, to the effect
that none should enter that privileged
sanctuary save with good thoughts.
We may venture to cross the threshold,
notwithstanding Within all is orderly.
There is an ancient, open-timbered
roof; an unusually picturesque chancel-
arch, formed with rough-hewn, slab
formed stones; central pathway
between the two rows of sittings; a
stained-glass window on the south side,
and second stained-glass window at
the east end, both masterpieces of color,
steel, pale, and wan tints contrasting
incomparably with deep and rich tones;
a few mural tablets, and general air
and tinge of refined and homely piety.
In word, these village churches
present field of interest that is prac-
Ecally inexhaustible. Queer.
