Shortsville, n. Y. This is the honest
truth. | at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking "a teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night | would
take a dose and it seemed that in the
brietest interval the cough would pass
off and | would go to sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as "A
most agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. | had no idea that it would or
could knock out the grip, simply
because ! had never tried it for such "A
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the remedy
caused it to not only he of less duration.
but the pains were far less severe, and
| had not used thecontents of one bottle
before MIR. Grip had bid me adieu."

Dairyino in Cuba.

A government report on the dairy
conditions existing in Cuba says:
Cows from the states are often seen
in daries near the larger cities. Some
OF them do well and some do not. A
few importers have made the serious
mistake of taking cows to Cuba from
the northern states and they have
suffered heavy losses on this account.
A wealthy planter took to southern
Cuba fifteen cows, which he said had
cost $3.50 each in New York, and $50
each for transportation. Soon after
their arrival ten Of them died of
Texas fever. When northern cows
are confined and carefully fed and
cared for. they usually remain
healthy, but as soon as they are nut
on pasture or neglected they are in
great danger of exposure to the ticks
and to Texas fever. During the war.
American cattle were kept about a
year In Santiago (their milk some.
times selling as high as a dollar a
gallon). They were fed hay and grain
from the North. 1t is reported that
some of them died, but the calves
usually did well.

Hessian Fly in Indiana.

Prof. Troop, Of the Indiana Expert
ment Station, in bulletin to the
press, says: Responses have been re-
ceived from 1876 correspondents to
date representing eighty-six counties.
OF these seventy-three counties report
the fly as doing more or less damage.
Thirteen counties report no fly, which
may or may not be true, as it has
frequently happened that one man has
reported no fly and another man liv-
ing in another section of the county
has reported it as doing considerable
damage. Those counties reporting no
fly are Lake, Allen, Whitley, Jasper.
Newton, Blackford, Warren, Vermil.
ion, Owen, Sullivan. Knox, Starke and
Scott. Those which have not reported
at all are Elkhart Wells, Adams
Bartholomew, Jefferson and Pike.
Forty-six counties report the damage
to wheat as ranging from fifteen to
seventy-dve per cent Of the crop.
Twenty-four counties report only
slight damage; the greatest amount
OF damage Is reported from the cen.
trail and southern counties. Tin De.
catur county fifty-two larvae were
found in one plant.) In sixty-five
counties in which the fly is found, the
wheat was sown before September 25.
while in eight counties it is found
in wheat grown after September 25tb
but In only one after October 1st
Twenty-seven varieties Of wheat are
mentioned as being grown in the in.
tested districts, and no one variety
is mentioned as being more free from
attacks than others.

New Move by the Firms.

The Firms have been exporting but
ter to England for some years and
have built up a pretty good trade
there. Butter is one of the principal
articles of export of that cold coun-
try. The Firms have found hard COM
petitors in the Danes, but have man
aged to survive the competition. Now,
however. come the Siberians and with
the falp of the Russian government
b4gin 20 make great inroads on the
English market and to crowd out the
Finnish butter. The Finnish senate
has taken up the matter and evidently
proposes to make national issue out
OF 1t. The senate has determined to
build at government expense three
.ast steamers equipped with refriger-
ators and constructed to carry large
quantities of butter. These steamers
will sail from Hango, the southern
most port of Finland, and make the
trip to England in four or five days.
The Russian government has intro
duced governmental aid in the export
butter trade of the Siberians and the
Films will go the Russians little bet
ter. 1t will be interesting to note the
outcome Of this rivalry,

Too Much Unripe Cheese

Too much unripe cheese is being
sent to market. Not only is the local
market at this time of year full of un.
ripe cheese, but large quantities are
being sent abroad. This applies to
cheese shipped from Canada as we'll
as from the United States. Recent
dispatches from England say that
cheese arriving there is of too green a
nature to sell we'll. The greatest oh.
stacle to the development of both tie
foreign and home cheese market is
green cheese. This subject has been
discussed at about every cheese max.
ers' convention held, but nothing has
been done to prevent unripe cheese
from being put on the market. 1t is
evident that one man holding back his
cheese till 1t is cured will not helm
the situation greatly. There must bo
some concerted movement to keen oil
put properly rfpened cheese off the
market. II only first-class cheese
could be put onto the market its sale
would be enormously increased with.
in very few years.

The Calf VS., Older Steer,

There are cattle that feeder can
not pay too much for, if he keeps
within the bounds OF reason, and
there are other cattle that cannot be
bought low enough to make money.
The first are well-bred, well-developed
Hereford calves, and scarce; the 9TH
ers are scrubs, or stunted low grades
Of other breeds, and plentiful. The ma.
jority Of American feeders make no
money feeding cattle, and they come
out ahead only when they rear their
own hogs to fatten on the offal of the
cattle, or when the corn they feed is
of their own raising. II the average
feeder who has his own corn were to
ascertain accurately what is netted
him per bushel when marketed
through cattle, not counting the hogs
that follow, he would find that in most
cases 1t does not exceed fifteen cents,
By feeding well-bred Hereford calves.
cattle-feeding alone will yield profit
on the grain consumed, and the hogs
will get as fat after the Herefords.
while their gains will be clear profit.
1t has been demonstrated that bush
el of grain will make n greater gain on
a calf than on a yearling; a greater
gain on yearling than on two
year-old. etc. To illustrate: II bush
ell Of corn makes five pounds gain on
an aged steer. calf Of the same quail
ity will gain ten pounds on the same
quantity, or double, and often more
tAan double. There lies the profit IN
calf feeding.-T. F. B. Sotham.
