*\. From thtPrairu Farmer. Reports from moat portions of the Northwest represent the outlook for winter food tor stock as anything but promising. Fortunately the re-of ports from different sections are not "all one way," else there would be great cause for alarm. As a rule, however, upland hay, including the product of wild and cultivated grasses, is light while the product of the low lauds, the bogs and marsh es, is very much below the average of former years. The season is now too far advanced, and the ground is too dry to expect any improvement. There is little hope of a crop of after math from "meadows browu and sear" as most of them are. The same causes that have resulted is a short crop of grass have caused the straw of spring-sown grains to be also light. In most sections the extreme dryness of the season prevented the ordinary amount of Hungarian and millet from being sown. Corn lacks length .of stalks and fullness of foliage. As to root crops, always neglected in the West, there is a poorer show ing than in past years. The season has been bad for sowing turnips and worse for transplanting them. Pas tures are in bad condition, and there seems to be no doubt that cattle will come to the barns thin in flesh. Feed has been short water scarce and only insects abundant. That more than ordinary care and judgment will be required to winter the usual amount of stock, seems certain. How to husband the resources the farmer has in order to carry his stock through the winter, will require much thought and good management. W I N E STOC O O I A S A I E AMI) IT S KFFKCVS O SYSTEM. In the first place, attention should be given to the stacks and ricks of hay already made. They should be examined to see is they are in condi tion to shed rain. If they are not,country a new covering of lowland grass should be placed on them, for every year a large amount of hay is lost by the stacks not being in a condition to shed water. The straw should also re ceive attention. In too many in stances it is thrown into a heap from the thresher and suffered to remain in that condition. It should be stacked with as much care as hay, otherwise much of its value will be lost. Corn fodder will be in requisition the coming winter, and every pains should be taken to make the most of it In many parts of the West the practice prevails of allowing the stalks, with their foliage, to remain where they grew, only harvesting the ears of corn. Of course it is an easy way of doing things, to allow stock to range through the fields in winter and gather the leaves. The practice, however, is a shiftless one in the ex treme. Stock derive some nutriment from corn leaves that have been froz en, thawed, washed by rain, torn by winds and bleached by the weather, but they are as inferior in value to corn fodder that has been properly cut, cured and stored, as grass that has dried on the spot where it grew, is inferior to that which was cut atcover the proper time, cured and stored in a barn. Three ways of harvesting corn fod der are in vogue in different parts of the country. In the South, in slavery times, at least, the practice of gather ing the leaves from the stalks was quite general. I was the work of children, or men and women not adapted to hard field labor. The leaves were simply pulled from the stalks by hand, laid on the ground in bunches till they were wilted, when they were bound up in bundles and then placed in stacks, or under sheds, or in barns. No food is more highly relished, by stock of all kinds, than, this. It is excellent for produc ing milk young stock thrive on it exceedingly, while horses will leave a manger of oats for a taste of these sweet leaves. Of course, the amount of labor required to harvest the fod der in a large field, in this manner, is very considerable. Throughout New England, and to a considerable extent in the other States, the practice of cutting the stalks before the corn is harvested, and before there is danger from frosts, is general. This is done by cut ting the stalk very near the bottom of the ears of corn. I is best done by a sharp shoe-knife or by a razor blade fitted in a handle. Enough stalks for a bundle are thrown to gether, and when they are wilted and properly cured, they are tied up andin Stacked or stored under cover. This practice is said to have been borrow ed by the Pilgrim Fathers from the Indians. When cured in this way, the leaves make excellent food, and a large proportion of the stalks are eaten. Some hold that the ear loses something by "tapping" the corn in this manner, but others affirm that it is beneficial as far as hastening ripen ing is concerned. Throughout the great corn-growing region of the West most farmers "make a point" to cut up their corn very near the ground and to preserve it in shocks in the field. The num ber who fail to do this is after all very large, as is evident to any onCongressional who travels about the country. Oth er evidences of neglect may be seen in the numbers of shocks so badly made that they blow over, and in the quantity of stalks that are wasted on the ground after the operation of husking has commenced. —The St. Cloud JOURNAL advises that politics be ignored in the nomi nation of Chief Justice. The papers, with one accord, seem to be in favor of this, and are also pretty generally agreed that Hon. S. J. R. McMillan should receive the nomination. W second the motion and nomination, too. Politics be blowed. Judge Mc Millan is the man for the place, and he shall have our most cordial sup jiort—Stillwater Gazette, (Dem.) ."- There is a considerable difference of opinion ou the subject of a milk diet. It is surrounded with the mass whims, or prejudices and of mis taken ideas, which are based more on individual fancies than upou certain fact. To one a glass of milk imbibed is believed to be a sure provocation of a billious attack, to another a dis ordered stomach, to a third, drowsi ness, and so on, through such a cate gory of simple though disagreeable ailments that we look aghast at thewhich farmer who drains cup after cup ofto tho fresh, pure liquid, time and again during the day, and wonder at the re sisting powers which his organization must possess. The truth is, however, that milk is not unwholesome. On the contrary, it contains good sub stantial boue, muscle, flesh and brain producing substances which, assimila ting quickly, act rapidly in building up the body. Naturally, we assert, it is nourishing that it does bring on certain troubles is nevertheless true, but the cause is in the individu al stomach, not in the milk, provided, of course, the latter be fresh and sweet. The Commercial Advertiser of recent date had some excellent re marks on this subject which are allBeecher's worthy of repetition: "Milk diluted with one third lime water,'" it is said, "will not cause any one billiousness or headache, and, if taken regularly, will so strengthen the stomach as to banish these dis orders. It may be taken with acid of some kiad when it does not easily di gest. The idea that milk must not be eaten with pickles is not an intel ligent one, as milk curdles in theshow stomach nearly as soon as it is swal lowed. When milk is constipating, as it is frequently found to be byand persona who drink freely of it in the in the summer time, a little salt sprinkled in each glassful will prevent the difficulty. When it hassustained an opposite effect, a few drops of brandy in each goblet of milk will ob viate its purgative effect. As milk is so essential to the health of our bodies, it is well to consider when to take it, and how. It is a mistake to drink milk between meals, or with food at the table. In the former case it will destroy the appetite and in the latter it is never proper to drink anything. After finishing each meal a goblet of pure milk should be drank and if any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint taken before retiring at night will soon cover the scrawniest bones. In cases of fever and summer complaint, milk is now given with excellent results. The idea that milk is 'feverish' has exploded, and it is now the physi cian's great reliance in bringing through typhoid patients, or those in too low a state to be nourished by solid food." TO a A A Take a ham weighing about eight or ten pounds, soak it for twelve or twenty-four hours in cold water, then it with boiling water add one pint of vinegar, two or three bay leaves, a little bunch of thyme and parsley. The dried and sifted will do, or even the seeds of parsley may be used if the fresh cannot be procur ed. Boil very slowly two hours and a half, take it out, skim it, remove all the fat except a layer about half an inch thick, cut off with a sharp knife all the black-looking outside put the ham into your dripping-pan, fat side uppermost, grate bread-crust over it and sprinkle a teaspoonful of powder ed sugar over it put it in the over. for half an hour, until it is a beauti ful brown. Eat cold. Cut the* nicest portion in slices thcragged and little odds and ends can be chopped fine and used for sandwiches or by ad ding three eggs to one pint of the chopped ham and frying brown, you have a delicious omlette for break fast or lunch. The bone should be put into the soup kettle. The rind and fat should be rendered and strain ed for frying potatoes or crullers. S E A S O N A E A I E The Maine Farmer says:—"We need again to urge farmers to have greater regrrd for their personal health and comfort than is generally the case. We know just howhard fann ers have to work, and how pressing are the demands of the present season. But nothing is gained by hard and long-continued application. Work the morning and at night, and ifing possible enjoy a long "nooning"—it will do you no harm. Bathe fre quently, and never repose a night in the inner clothing in which you have worked during the day. Have a light clean night-shirt, to take the place of that full of perspiration and dust, and enjoy to its fullest extent the refreshing influence of the night's rest. Eat wholesome and well pre pared food, but avoid an excessive use of fresh meats. Drink sparingly of cold water during warm weather— great injury often results from this cause." —About the liveliest contest for a nomination ever record ed terminated Tuesday morning at Lancaster, Ohio, after a three days' siege, and on the 529th ballot.

Woodhull ism is said to have been the cause of his sudden disappearance. —We are constantly told that evening wore on—but what the even ing wore on such occasions we not in formed. Was in the close of a Sum mer's day? E E O O E I N E S I A ING O I E E From the New: York World. Tho conclusion of the Committee is that tho charges of Tilton are nomovement sustained by evidence and at this conclusion the better judgments of intelligent people have already arriv ed. From the New York Evening Express. The report is an able and lucid argument of the case in all its bcar iugs, and embodies reasons and facts we think will carry conviction all fair minds of the innocence of the accused. Our conviction, after a patient, reading of all the evidence, is that the verdict is a righteous one. This acquittal, therefore, is a vindica tion of human nature and society from one of the grossest scandals of the age, and we breathe freer and deeper, iu the behalf that the scandal is a lie. From the Boston Advertiser. This clear vindication by men of established character, acting under a lively sense of their responsibility to the public, as well as to their own consciences, ought to remove all doubts, if any yet remained, of Mr. innocence. The trial has been terrific. But the suspense is over. And we believe the sober sense of the justice-loving public will acquit him of all guilt and of all ill intent as cordially as he is acquitted by the Committee of Plymouth church. From the Hartford Evening Post. To make this appear a "white washing" report it is necessary to that it ignores convincing evi dence and perverts the facts. This cannot be done. The report is a fair logical review of the testimony so far as it has been made public, and there is no escape from the conclusion that the charge has not only not been by evidence that would stand in a court, but is not even made probable to the minds of lay men. From the Brooklyn Eagle. The unanimous verdict of Church in an indorsement, the sig nificance of which cannot be overesti mated, and, to our mind it carries with it a vindication which no ver dict of a jury ever matched. I the Beecher's vindication good men and good women everywhere will rejoice, for in his deliverance established character, morality and religion will secure a triumph, where at times the purest, the boldest and bravest seemed to lose their faith and cour age, as men might do when, during an earthquake, the earth seems to slip from beneath their feet. —One of the saddest things about the Small Boy of the present day isod the uncertainty which seems to attend him as he bounds along through life. You can't ahvays tell what he's going to say. At a Sunday school service held not long ago, an amiable clergy man, endeavoring to illustrate the necessity of the Christian profession in order rightly to enjoy the bene factions of Providence, spake as fol lows "For instance, I want to in troduce water into my house I have it pumped. The pipes and faucets are in good order, but I get no water. Now, why do I get no water The reason he wished the young people to see was that he had made no com munication with the main in theTerms street. But the boys were too intent on plumbing and water rates. "Now why do I get no water?" I know," shrieked a little one "you don't pay I" REMOVING GREASE SPOTS.—In taking out grewe from clothing with benzole or turpentine, people gener ally make the mistake of wetting the cloth with turpentine and then rub bing it with a sponge or piece of cloth. In this way the fat is dissolv ed, but is spread over a greater spaee and is not removed the benzole or turpentine evaporates, and the fatplete covers a greater surface than before. The only way to remove grease-spots is to place soft blotting-paper beneath and on top of the spot, which is to be first thoroughly saturated with the benzole and then well pressed. The fat is then dissolved and absorbed by the. paper, and entirely removed from the clothing. —Some of the largest manufactur firms in England have changed pay day from Saturday to Monday, and are represented as being very well satisfied with the results of the change. The object is to remove from the working men the temptations of a "holiday" immediately after they have been paid their weekly wages, and by having work waiting for them on the morning following pay day. —A small boy telling his pal how he came to be detected stealing ap ples in a grocery store, proceeded thus: "Well, I didn't care so durned much about bein' seen, but the clerk was cross-eyed, and I thought he was watchin' a dog fight 'cross the street but he was lookin' square unto me, an' he helped me clean into the gut ter." —The word "whig" is said to have originated in England in the 16th cen tury, when a party arose who favor ed a republican form of govern ment. The adopted as their motto the words "We hope in God," the in itials of which form the word "whig." The word thus means opposition to kings and monarchies. —Mr. Moulton says his labors of four years have been wasted, and he can no longer save Tilton and Beech er from the consequences of their acts, acts which have already involv ed them in a "needless and disastrous quarrel." "Needless" is pretty good, if the act were adultery. A CAS A S I S This is the true basis upon which tho present reform movement among farmers must rest. No co-operative can succeed on any other basis. Cash is tho one thing needful. Tho credit system will kill beyond any possible hope of resurrection, any co-operative enterprise. I is this that has killed them in tho past, and will destroy them in the futuro. Let us once sot out on the principle for paying for what we get, aud doing without what we cannot pay for, and success will ultimately crown our efforts.— Western Agriculturalist. ^. fc —There will be, wo feel confident, a general feeling of satisfaction in this country at the news telegraphed from America that Mr Beecher will be exonerated by the report of the Committee which has been engaged in the investigation of the now cele brated scandal.—London Echo. —The reports from the Odessa and other soft wheats in this county are generally unfavorable.

The Gift Concert of the Masonic Belief Association of Norfolk, Postponed. OUR readers will see from an advertise ment in another column that the Grand Gift Concert, which was to have been given by the Masonic Relief Association of Nor folk, Va., on the 3d of September, has been postponed until Thursday, the 19th of No vember. As the Directors remark in their Card, there are many persons who desire and in tend to invest in this enterprise, but have been deterred from so doing by the belief that a postponement would take place, and they were unwilling to purchase tickets un til they felt assured that a day had been fixed when the drawing would positively take place. In consequence of this im pression, the sale of tickets—while largely in excess of the number sold previous to the postponement of the first Gift Concert given by the Association—has not been to such an extent as to enable the Directors to make a satisfactory distribution of prizes or to ac complish the object of the Concertproposed to given. It is therefore the interest of concerned that the drawing be deferred until the day designated in the announce ment and we doubt not that the action of the Directors will meet with the hearty ap proval of their patrons, and that the result will prove satisfactory to them. he Las a Gift Concer In a id of he Mr.allbe Masoni Kelie Associatio of Norfol Postponed.—T he In selecting the 3d day of September as the date upon which to have their last Gift Concert, the Di rectors of the Masonic Relief Association were in fluenced by the belief that there would be a suffici ent length of time between the publication of the scheme and the above-mentioned date to enable them to dispose of such a number of tickets as to en sure a full drawing and an avoidance of scaling the prizes. While the enterprise has been liberally pat ronized by a large number of purchasers of tickets in every section of the United States and the British Provinces, yet the impression seems to have prevail with many who were willing to aid in the work completing the Masonic Temple in this city, by in vesting in this scheme, that the Concert would be postponed, and as a consequence they have declined to purchase tickets until an announcement should be made that a day had been fixed upon when the draw ing would positively take place. The Directors, be ing assured that their patrons will be satisfied with the reasons actuating them in making a postpone ment, have selected. Thursday 1 5 a N as the time to hold their Seoond Grand Gift Concert and Drawing, and they hope that orders for tickets will be sent immediately by all who desire to obtain one or more of the valuable Cash Prizes which they offer.
