DISPOSE of UnprofitabIe Cows.

The Toronto Globe says a Canadian
farmer who kept twenty-four cows and
two hired men, tested his cows with
the Babcock test and found that eight
were Improbable. He disposed Of
them and let one hired man go, and at
the end of the year found that he ha2
made as much money from the sixteen
as from the twenty-four. Now he has
got down to twelve good cows, and ex
poets as much from them as he made
from twice that number. Now he can
increase up to his original number as
fast as he can find or grow good cows,
and increase his profits.

The Ohio Congressman declared that In
company with his friend Judge Thomp-
son, also an Ohioan, he had visited Camp
Alger for the purpose of inspecting the
condition of the Seventh Ohio. This Is
the regiment that has afforded so many
suicides.
Gen Grosvenor visited the quarters of
the Seventh Ohio Regiment on Monday.
He did a great deal of handshakng. the
officers received him well. for they know
he is close to the powers that be. The
general shook hands again. preferred not
to drink the local water, having heard OF
Secretary Alger's unfortunate experience
with Camp Wikoff dysentery, and return
ed to Washington. Yesterday he let him
self loose on the subject of Camp Alger.

son. he said. .'for the purpose of inspect

not counting suicides, only two deaths
have occurred. There are at present only

perfect camp-not in my entire life.
Gen. Grosvenor was mute on the cause
of the numerous suicides among the Ohio
ans. He waived the subject in his
most grandiloquent style; nor would he
say whether in a quiet way he has not
pressed Secretary Alger to cause the
members of the Seventh Ohio to be mus
tered out al an early date.

formed gentleman from his own State bit
