An Ohio farmer tells the read
ers of the Country Gentleman that
he last year raised 100000 cab
bages. and kept the flea BEETLES
away at a cost of only a single dol
lar. His method is to pour gal
Ion of spirits of turpentine into a
barrel of land plaster, and when
the plaster is dampened all
through, as it will be in few
days, spread it broadcast over the
field. 1t is better than lime or
ashes, and may be applied when
the plants are not wet with rain or
dew. 1t is also said that the mix
ture will keep for several years
without losing its strength.

GLEANINGS.

Much of the value of potatoes
as hog food depends upon the
cooking. Ii fed largely raw they
produce securing and do not all
digest, thinks writer in the Ma
tional Live Stock Journal. This
is due to the fact that the potato
is composed so largely of starch as
to make cooking an almost indis-
pensable aid to digestion. A little
raw potato is beneficial to the hogs
stomach, when fed largely upon
corn. 1t is laxative and cooling,
allaying the feverish tendency
arising from the heating effects of
corn. When fed to realize the
most benefit from them for fatten-
ing, they should be boiled soft,
and if grain be fed with them,
they should be boiled together.
One of the best papers making
a speciality of stock-raising says
that the charm that is attached to
an imported animal, or rather that
has been attached to it, is not SO
powerful as it once was, either to
importer or the customer. People
are more and more coming to de-
mand merit in stock, and there are
a great many thousand stock buy
ers who prefer American stock,
everything being equal. There is
growing demand for home bred
animals, and the number of breed
ers is constantly increasing.

Cinnamon who have lived in this
city for any length of time, and
learned how easy it is to impose
upon the courts in the matter of
identity, have gone into the practice
of trick that is in every way worthy
their shrewdness. Two of the num-
Der who had taken out certificates
on their return to China were found
as stowaways OH the ship Zealandia,
which arrived at this port on Thurs
day. They had their certificates in
regular order, but wished to steal
ashore and send their certificates
back for sale in China, believing, as
they had good reason to do, that
almost any purchaser there would
be permitted to land upon them in
this port, Notwithstanding discre-
pancies as to height, weight, age,
general appearance, or ignorance in
the attempt to describe any of the
localities of the city. Doubtless
this kind of trickery has been con-
Quoted long time with success,
and will be so conducted again

SATURDAY, AUGUST IA, 1886.
NE COULDN'T AFFORD 1T.
A NEWSPAPER MAN WHO DIDN'T WANT
A CABINET POSITION.

Ex-Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Coon told this story to
group Of friends at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last evening: "When the joint
High Commission was sitting in
Washington few years ago, the
proceedings were held behind locked
doors, and the greatest pains was
taken to keep the proceedings strictly
secret. In spite OF this many of the
most important results of the dis
cussions leaked out and found their
way into print. Scott Smith, the
well-known Washington correspon-
dent, was known to be telegraphing
the news to syndicate of news
papers, and Secretary of State
Hamilton Fish was terribly worked
up over the matter. He brought
several detectives from New York
to Washington, who were unknown
to the Department officials, and
placed them to shadow Smiths
house and office, to ascertain, if
possible, who it was that was fur
nishing him with the information.
The vigils were fruitless and the
news continued to be printed with
daily regularity. Unable longer to
conceal his annoyance, the Secre-
tary sent for Mr.. Smith and told
him that his course was unpatriotic.
Nonsense said Smith, lit is
all true, isn't it? 1t is news, and
that is what | am sent here to get.
But he did not tell the Secretary,
what was the fact, that he regularly
met member of the Commission
every morning at 10 O'Clock, from
whom he obtained n detailed account
of the previous days proceedings.
Finding that persuasion was useless,
the Secretary finally said:
Smith, I have got nice for
eign Consulship, worth $4,000 a
year, which / wish TO offer you,
which was my main object in send
ing for YOU
Can't accept it, Mr.. Secretary :;
couldn't afford to do so.'
'What!' exclaimed Mr.. Fish in
amazement, cant afford to accept
a 5000 year Consulship?'
" No sir replied Mr.. Smith, Il
earn more money than that with my
pen. To speak plainly, Mr.. Secre-
tary, couldn't afford to take your
place and work for the salary you
work for
'Mr. Fish looked at Smith with
profound amazement, added Mr..
Coon, "but his views of the value of
the services of trained newspaper
writers probably soon afterward UNI
derwent a change. - New York
