FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

The men who get through the mos
work are those who never seem to bt
busy, while those who have morbid
habit of being busy and never have
moments leisure are the worst o
time MASTERS.

germs of the disease brought from
the West in fresh pork.
There is perhaps not a nook OF
corner on the average farm but what

and bugbears may be sources of in.
come that are not exceeded by any
other parts of the farm.
There is room yet for some one to
discover a sure remedy for the cab
bage worm. The remedy must be
non-poisonous, cheap, easily applied
and free from odor as much as posi-
Bile. Kerosene oil lis an excellent
remedy but it imparts its odor to the
cabbage, which is Objectionable.
The best kind of stock will fail to
give satisfaction unless given the at
tention demanded. 1t is not the
breed that thrives with little care.
but the one that receives care
through necessity, that pays. A
good breed permits the farmer to
convert labor into profit.
Fresh manure should not be used
if it can be avoided, but should be
composted and allowed to decompose.
If placed on the land it must still
undego a change in the soil before
it becomes plant food, which causes
too much heat in dry weather.
An animal is never on standstill
1t is either increasing or decreasing
The rule should be to never allow an
animal to fall off. A pound gained
and then lost is simply doubling the
work and food to reproduce it, which
not only increases the cost but les
sens the profit.
Shropshires are quite similar in

short, muscular necks, long, level,
broad backs and round bodies well
set upon short legs.

CHICAGO, Aug. SIP. w. VanAntwerp,
the Cincinnati detective was found lying
at the corner of Lake and Franklin streets

werp has been following Frank Kline, alias
Julius Heaston, notorious train robber, for
several months and only found him last
night at the corner of Lake aud Franklin.
When VanAntwerp attempted to arrest
Kline, the latter struck him with some
blunt instrument, fraoturing his skull, and
made good his escape. The 18th of July
last VanAntwerp attempted to arrest Kline
in Monticello, Ills, and was badly wounded
by pistol ehot. VanAntwerp was taken

The REPUBLICAN TARIFF CAUCUs.-The
caucus of republican Senators, held at Mr..
Elmunds's residence last night, was not
largely attended, there being only twenty
two Senators present. Senator Allison was
present with mis- incomplete bill, and he was
authorized to state that the Finance Com
tee will be ready to report tariff bill to the
Senate about one week from next Monday
After considerable discussion it was deter
mined to retain the present duty on lumber,
reduce the duty on sugar fifty par cent. and
increase the present duty on fne wool one
cent. per pound. Senator Jones, of Colors-
do, says the meeting was thoroughly harmo-
NOUS. 1t was observed that nearly all those
Senators who have repeatedly said that they
were opposed to any bill being reported
were absent, and therefore the conclusion
reached can only be binding on those who
were present. There was no enthusiasm
among the participants, aud it was evident
that the host of the occasion was disappoint.
ed because ofthe slim attendance Its said
that the Presidents message was only al.
uded to informally, and there was no at
tempt msde TO discuss it. Senator Jones re.
marked that the republicans should not be
expected TO prepare tariff bill within few
weeks, iu vew Of the fact that the demo
Gratis have been at work nearly three years
on the Mills bill. The republicans could not
begin their bill until they saw what their
opponents proposed, and hence the delay.

CHEBoYGAN, Mich, Aug. 31.-since last
reports were given out about the cholera,
nothing from any definite source has been
received. The Adrance, the only paper pub
lshed in Presque Isle county, says that the
disease is undoubtedly contagious, and all
means its spreading will be prevented.
Many persons have died and many are how
ering between life and death. There is no
telegraphic communication 10 the whole
county and no reports have been received
from the interior for several days. The late
frosts will undoubtedly allay the fears of its
spreading and kill the cholera germs if they
really exist,
