The milk supply will probably show, by
its falling off, how the dry weather is af-
fecting the pastures. The water supply
must be well watched, for the COWS should
never be forced to drink from polluted,
stagnant pools. Sinking and other NAL
aides often come from this cause. Green
fodder should supplement short pasturage.
Green fodder corn increases the flow of
milk at once, but the quality notably de-
teriorates. 1t should be fed with some
grain. A good armful of fodder corn, and
two quarts of corn and oats ground togeth-
er, will keep up both the quantity and quail
ty. Horses will be grateful for run in the
pasture on hot nights. Harness gals, sores
of all kinds, fy-btes, ETC., we find are best
treated with carbolic soap (sheep dip) used
as salve. Keep colts growing by feeding
a few oats daily. Ewes intended for early
breeding should be we'll fed for week or
two before the ram is turned with them
1t is important to tar the noses of the
whole flock, to protect them against the
CAD fly and grub in the head. The pigs
should revel in weeds and fallen or other
wise wasted fruit, and if possible, should
have the run of orchards, where they will
devour the gnarly and worm-eaten fruit
Poultry should have the run of stubble-
ields, both for the scattered grain, and for
ihe numerous insects.

Good Cooking.

We are glad to see that President Cleve-
land has discarded the fancy dishes served
up to him in the White House by the old
French cooks, and has come down to an
old Virginia cook who knows how to boil
hog and hominy and to make ash-cakes and
broil ham and eggs. A Washington cores
pondent tells us that since the President
came to Washington he has heard so much
about the good old Maryland and Virginia
cooking that he became possessed with the
desire to find out all about it for himself.
He sent for John Chamberlain, the noted
restaurateur, and conided his wishes to
him. Chamberlain has had for years as
the queen of his kitchen regular old Vir-
ginia ''mammy," who is as proud of her
+. f. V. stock as she is of her culinary
qualities, and whose terrapin, soft crabs and
other delicacies are famous with all the bon
vivants who come to Washington. Cham
berlain considered her to be worth her weight
in gold, and she is not skeleton, either
He maintains permanent guard to prevent
his rivals coaxing his treasure off, but he
was so moved by the plaintive appeal of
the President that he consented to Temporal
rily lend her, and, since the few days she
has been installed at the White House, the
Presidents appetite has increased very
much, and Mrs. Cleveland, as she declares,
is perfectly ravenous.- Lynchburg Ad-

of a pickle factory, it is best to contract to
deliver the pickles just as they are gather
ed, the sizes and prices being specified.
Cucumbers should always be cut, leaving
short piece of stem attached, and the vines
should be gone over daily, or at least every
other day, otherwise some will grow too
large. If the cucumbers to be salted, whis-
ky baraels are preferable. The salt should
be of the purest kind, and contain no lime.
Half bushel of salt is required to the bar
rel. Take out one head of the barrel and
lay in the cucumbers, sprinkling salt among
them. When all are in, put on a follower
with weights, and add water enough to
cover the pickles. When the barrel is full,
head it tight, having added all the salt, and
then fill it with water through the bung-
hole.-American AgricuHurist for August.

A Free and Fearless Bill-Poster.

The New York bill-poster has, from
time immemorial, been a free and fearless
rover of the highways. In the days when
Harry Paulding, now dead and gone, had
his headquarters in a Park Row cellar and
drank champagne as q beverage, with a
paste barrel for a throne, these pill-post-
ers' wars were ineessant. A truce was
called to one only to have another begin.
At first Paulding had a monopoly of the
business. He made a mint of money and
tyranniZed the whole community that had
to deal with him. Then opposition started
up, and he set to work to fight it. the
streets were full of wal and the police
courts kept busy 1ining the contending
factions. Now and then one would COM
NIT a murderous assault, and on at least
n occasion thatI recall murder was
scored against the adhesive guild.
A prominent theatrical manager having
got into a quarrel with Paulding woke one
morning to find the Whole front of his res
idence, from cerniGe to payement, covered
with show bills. Even the windows were
pasted over, and it cost him a handsome
sum to clear the defilement away. In an
other instance, Paulding's brigade pasted
the sidewalks of Broadway and Fifth ave-
nue. with dodgers that did not wear off for
81 week. When his men were in a merry
mood they made nothing of decorating the
backs Of private carriages with advertising
| paper, and once they adorned a church
| front with the bills of a burlesque troupe.

He wanted To BE a Kepogter,

Time and again the assertion has been
printed that George w. Vanderbilt
wished to become a newspaper reporter,
and I do notimagine that readers gener-

less, it was true. George is the youngest
son of the late William n. Vanderbilt,
and a sharer in the estate to the extent of
about. $50, GOO, 900. AT the time of his effort
to get into journalism he was only an heir
prospective, and he had strong desire to
do something on his own account. II had
an idea that l could become a writer" he
said, a few days ago, aand I believed that
there was no better schooling to be had

like the work, too. went down to The
Sun office and talked with Mr.. Dana
about it, and he said he would give me a

~tunity-that the public would be censo-
rious of my work. nc matter kew careful

Something About the chinese Language.

Something About the Chinese Language.
Chinese is a queer language. All its
words are only one syllable long. But the
sounds in the Chinese language are not
very many, some 465 at most, and their
written language contains Q 5000
pictures, each representing a thing orldea.
And these pictures must be committed TO
memory. This is hard work, and noteven
the wisest Chinese professor can learn
them all. But now comes a difficulty.
For, of course, where there are so many
words and so few sounds, many different
words have to be called by the same
sound. How then are they to tell, when
several different things have exactly the
same name which of them is meantY
We have such words. Fol instance,
there is Bill, the name of u boy; and bill,
the beak of a bird; there is bill, an old
weapon, and bill, a piece of money; there
is bill, an article over which legislatures
debate, and bill, q claim for a payment of
money; besides bills Of exchange, bills of
lading, and SO forth. But Chinese is full
of such words of a single syllable, yen, for
instance, which, like bill, means many
| very different things. So they choose a
| number of little pictures, and agree that
these shall be used as "keys." Each "key"
means that the sign or signs near which it
stood belonged to some large, general set
of things, like the things of the vegetable
mineral, or animal kingdom, forests,
mines; or seas, air, or water, or persons.
like gods or men. 1t was like the game
called throwing light, in which you guess
the article by narrowing down the field
until certain what it is.
But there Chinese writing stopped short,
thousands of years ago. There it is to-day.
There are now 214 of these @keys" and, by
intense application, Cinnamon learn to
use their method with surprising quickness
| and success.-St. Nicholas.
