nearly 800, 900, divided into 7,1O6 posts.
Its annual encampments are attend
ed by fully 100000 people, and made the
occasion of a spontaneous display of
patriotism which must be intensely
gratifying to the griZzled veterans.
The encampment of 1897, held at Buff
falo, n. Y, was in every respect sue
cess, but it is predicted that this years
gathering, which will meet at Cincin-
natl. a point much more centrally To-
Gated than Buffalo, will attract the
largest attendance in. the history of the
order. Every one of the As depart
ments of the Grand Army will be repre-
scented, and most of them will partici-
pate in the grand parade, which will
be in command of Col. John P. S. Goblin,
Of Lebanon, Pa, the present command
or in chief, and his personal staff.
The Women's Relief Corps, an or
ganization composed of the wives, moth
ers, daughters and sisters of union sol
diers of the civil war, will hold its an
nual meeting at the same time. 1t is
composed of a number of state de-
partments, divided into corps, and has
membership of about 100000. The
national president is Mrs. Agnes Hit,
of Indianapolis. The Ladies of the G. A.
R., another auxiliary to the Grand
Army. will meet at Cincinnati during
the first week of September.
Commander-in-Chief Goblin is expect
ed to visit Cincinnati soon with his staff
10 inspect the preliminary plans of the
citizens committee for the thirty-sec-
ond annual encampment of the G. A. r.
This will be his second official visit.
When here, in November last, he eX-
pressed surprise at the progress al
ready made. He found a thorough or
ganiZation of prominent business men,
with Hon. NJ E. Ingalls,, president of
the Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio
railroads, at their head.
On the occasion of his coming visit,
the committee will be able to outline to
a large extent exactly what will DE done
in the way of receiving and entertain
ing the old veterans and the thousands
of friends who will come with them to
Cincinnati in September of this year.
The three important features-raiiroad
rates, hotel rates and free quarters for
Seterans-haye all been satisfactorily
arranged for. The committee has as
surance of a rate of one cent a mile
from all points in the country, the tick
cts being on sale several days preced-
ing the opening date of the encamp-
meHt-September 5-and good without
any restrictions for about ten days.

under it. The bull seemed surprised
that 1 had disappeared, and, after sniff
ing around awhile, went off. I waited
until he was nearly up with the cattle,
and then started again. But the old fell
low was no fool; he had his eye OF me,
and had hardly started before he came
back on the run.
To do my best, I couldn't make the
creek, so under the boat 1 went again
This time the bull was mad. He bel
lowed and paved and tore up the sod
around the boat with his horns; but 1
held the boat down.
Finally, when I was getting tired, he
got tired himself, and went so far away
that this time made the creek and
launched my boat.

Government Cholera Recipe.

To prevent hog cholera the govern
ment recipe is as follows: Wood char
coal. one pound; sulphur, one pound;
sodium sulphate (Glaubers saIts), one
pound; anthony sulphide. one pound;
sodium chloride common saitl, two
pounds; sodium bicarbonate, two
pounds; sodium hyposuIphite, two
pounds. Pulverize these ingredients
perfectly and mix thoroughly. The
dose of this mixture is a large table
spoonful for each 200 pounds of hog given
once daily. When hogs are sick. feed
soft food made by mixing bran and mid
dlings, or middlings and corn meal, or
ground oats and corn, or crushed wheat
with hot water and stirring in this med
icine. Hogs are fond of these mixtures
and the appetite is increased. Animals
so sick that they cannot eat can be
drenched By shaking the medicine up
in water Use as q preventive by feed
ing TO the whole herd.

TO MAKE HORSES EAT SLOWLY

so that the horse cannot feed out Of the
grain till. Few realize how little good
grain does some horses because of in
sufficient mastication. 1t is not merely
the loss of the grain from this cause
that is to be deprecated, but the irritat-
ing and eXhausting effect upon the di-
gestive organs as well. Many seek to
avoid this trouble by feeding ground
grains, wet up with cold water-an en-
tirely wrong practice. If the grain is-to
be ground, feed it dry, just as one
would the whole grain. Then it will be
eaten more slowly-will have the saliva
mixed with it. and so made more easily
digestible, and will be much less likely
to sour in the stomach and bloat the
animal.-N. Y. Tribune.

For those wishing a longer time the
railroads will establish a joint agency
here during encampment, with author
ity to stamp the excursion ticke1s, max
ing them good for full 30 days. In adj
dition, the roads out of Cincinnati will
be allowed the privilege of arranging
special home-visitors' excursions with
in short distance limits.
All the hotels of the city Of any con-
sequence have signed binding contracts
by which they may charge only the reg
ular established rates. and limiting the
number of guests that may be assigned
