The Drummer Caught.

An ambitious young commercial
tourist living in one of the cities on
the middle Hudson, became acquaint-
ed with a young lady attending a
we'll known seminary, whose father
is an influential citizen of one of the
Washington county towns, and is re-
puted to have solid bank account.
Having progressed in his acquaint-
ance with the young lady so far as
to seek and receive an invitation TO
visit her at her home during her
school vacation, he essayed to risk
the danger that might attend his re-
ception at the paternai domicile.
Having engaged the fastest trotters
and the nattiest turnout of the viii
lage llveryman, our tourist set out.
The ride was about six miles, and
after he had journeyed about half
the distance he overlook pedestrian
and inquired if he was on the right
road to Mr.. Smith farm house Re-
ceiving an affirmative reply the
drummer asked the farmer to ride.
The latter got into the buggy, and

What Bogus Butter Is Doing.
Prices have gotten down to moth
ing, and the market is in most de-
morallzed condition. The. counter
felt butter men. the oleomargarine
and butterine manufacturers have
killed tAe business. Goods that sold
readily two or three years ago for q,
s and 8 cents per pound in car lots,
can now be moved at 2 cents. There
is no market for low grade butter
now at any price. Choice dairy,
that heretofore sold at II to II cents
per pound is now dead dull at 8 cts
per pound. In many instances sales
of choice goods are made at cents
per pound. The result of this has
been that receipts have been falling
off to less than their former proper
tions at this time of year. Many
merchants that in former years re-
ceived 100 to 200 packages of butter
day ale now getting 5 to 10, and,
under the unjust competition OF spu-

Suggestions Relative to Hog Cholera.

Dear Sir.-In view of the great
loss sustained by the pork raisers
of this state from the ravages of hog
cholera (swine pIague) 1T Is deemed
expedient at this time to call your
attention, and through you the at
ton of the community in which you
live to the Importance of taking ac-
tive measures to prevent its further
spread.
If the desease has prevailed in
your locality, wish you would call
the attention of the owners of in.
fected premises to the urgent ne
cessity of a thorough cleaning and
careful disinfection, for it is an es-
tablished fact that its germs will
both live and multiply in old,straw
piles, manure heaps and similar
substances. After dIsposing nf all
such material, either by plowing
under, burning or storing IN Sc
cluded place, the pens should be
thoroughly cleansed by washing
with solution of carbollc acid in the
proportion Of five pounds to barrel
of water, or copperas. (Ferri sulph. }
twenty-four pounds to the same
quantity of water. Burning sulphur
in the pens with the doors closed,
also has wholesome effect. After
disinfection the doors and windows
should be thrown open, and light
and air freely admitted. But so
great is the vitality of the virus that
even with all possible precaution
and the most careful disinfection,
there is still danger of the disease
re-appearing, and in some instances
it has been found advisable to aban-
don the keeping of hogs for a sea-
son.
If the disease appears or is now
prevalent in your neighborhood, the
effort should of course be directed
to prevent its spread, for this pur-
pose all communication between
healthy and diseased herds should
be at once suspended. Visiting in
fected premises out of curiosity or
for the purpose of gaining informa-
ton, has in several instances cost
our farmers dearly; for, unfortu-
nately, on their return home they
not only carried with them some
knowledge of the symptom of the dis
ease, but about their clothes and on
their soiled shoes lurked its germs
ready to perform their deadly work.
The carcasses of diseased hogs
should be buried deeply aud not
sold for rendering. Wagons employ
ed by such establishments have done
great harm in some parts of Illinois
by carrying the infection from one
j place to smother; running streams
should be avoided, as the disease
frequently spreads along their
courses.
When the disease makes ITS ap-
pearance in herd, the sick hogs
should be separated from the healthy,
in so doing always remove the
healthy from the infected pens.
Treatment OF the sick IS not gen.
orally advisable. but it is well to give
those that have been exposed to the
contagion, ten drops of pure carbolic
! acid for every hundred weight of

Special Notice.

The farmers of Missouri, who
would make their business success,
are called upon to resort to every
possible expenditure to utilize the
means at ther command by which
they may be able to produce the
largest crops at the least possible
cost. To do this, they call to their
aid the experience of their fellow
farmers in all parts of the State and
of the great West, as 1T is presented
in our best agricultural papers.
Their own individual experience is
valuable, but to that they may add
the experience of hundreds of thou
sands of others, like situated and
differently situated, by which to
judge of the correctness of their own
practice. When the Rural world

as much as possible against the die

If your neighborhood is still free
from the malady, too great care can
not be taken to prevent its introduc-

picion, especially so If they have

A YANKEE inventor is now in the
field with paper product which he
calls leatheroid, and this marvellous
material is now in course Of extern
sive manufacture, by a "leathroid
company" in the little country town
of Kennebunk, Me. For practical
utility the article named bids fair
to supplant almost every other ma
terial. 1t is strictly chemical pro-
duct, and for strength and adhesion
it is said to surpass every thing else.
1t is as tough as rawhide, and as
elastic as whalebone, and is at the
same time adapted to the most sup
pie as well as the most solid use. In
short, according to report there is
scarcely a manufactured article for
which it is not available and supe-
rior. It has already been wrought
into various things.
