About three weeks ago, a “Republican” of
Kenosha wrote to the Tribune one of those

Circus. —All who enjoy the circus, the
witticisms of the clown, the performances of
trained animals, the study of natural history,
will hav e an opportunity for all this next
Monday, when the Cosmopolitan Circus
Museum and Menagerie will pitch tents In
Kenosha. The circus department is perhaps
the chief feature of this organization, and
irom all that is said by our exchanges, we
have formed a good opinion of the Cosmop
olitan, and recommend it to the people of
the county. Read the announcement in an
other part of this paper.
“If those old democrat s who have stood

The gentlemen who have organized this
club mean business, and desire the hearty co
operation of the Farmers of this County.
Any information concerning the violution of
the game law should be communicated to
i he executive committee, and stringent meas.
ures will be taken to punish the offending
party.

The Lady’s Flu end tor August.—The
leading engraving in this number is that of a
most lovely lady on a balcony, waving a
handkerchief —a beautiful picture. “Moon
light at Sea,” is also something exquisite.
The illustrations of stylish costumes and
tasteful novelties in dress are more than
usually captivating, we should say. Music—
“l’ve brought Theejan Ivy Leaf.” An excel
lent little “Dolly Varden” story by Miss
Fannie Hogsdon leads off the literary matter,
and the new serial “Only a Wish” is com
menced. “For a Dream’s Sake,” by Mary N.
Prescott, is a good story, though it makes
the young leader exclaim—“ls that all ?”
Tin serial by Mrs. Wood is one of the very
best: and the shorter one by Amanda Doug
lass is in the most popular style of the au
thor. Altogether this August number of the
Lady’s Friend presents as entertaining a
•east of light reading for the warm weather
as could well be found.
KENOSHA COUNTY FARMS.
Kenosha, July 20,1872.
Editor Kenosha Telegraph ln our former
communication we gave a brief description of
farming by two farmers of Brighton, and wc
also called on several others in the same
town. Among the number was Mr. John
Hartnell, Jr., who has a farm of 510 acres of
excellent land, divided into suitable parcels,
convenient lor a farm of the size, His crops,
which are very promising for a good yield,
consist of 55 acres of oats, 45 acres of corn,
and 15 acres of wheat. His corn is about the
best we have seen in the county. His stock
consists of 65 head of cattle; 220 sheep, old
and young, the clip of wool averaging over 6
lbs. per head. Mr. Hartnell has also a cheese
factory in connection with his farm, where he
manufactures the milk of fifty cows into
chtese of the best quality. His cheese house
Is superintended by his daughter, who makes
the cheese. The room where the cheese is
stored is the loft of the building, the lower
room being used for making the cheese. The
process of making may perhaps be interest*
ing, and so I will state it. The milk from
the cows at night is set in the cheese vat,
with cold water under it, and thoroughly
cooled. The milk from the cows in the
morning is strained into the vat, the milk is
then stirred until the animal heat is all out,
then a fire is put under the vat, the milk
heated to 82 or 83 degrees, when the rennet Is
put in, and the whole stands until it curdles
hard enough to cut. After being crossed
with a enrd knife, the heat is turned on, and
raised to 90 degrees, after which it Is cut so
as to be as fine or finer than kernels of corn.
The whey is drawn off, and the curd put into
the hoops, then into the press. This process
t akes six to seven hours. The cheese are in
the press about twenty-four hours. More
anon. Yours,
Rambler.
It has been said that the Greeley men of
this city can do little for their man, exempt
to indulge In “small talk.” If this is so,
and any of them are anxious to make speech
es, and are unable to fix upon subjects, we
will suggest a programme. For instance :
“How good old Democrats may forget that
Horace Greeley edited the N. Y. Tribune.')
Judge I. W. Webster.
‘ How Republicans may ring in with every
t’penny ha’penny show, and yet be honest."
That other Judge.
“Defense of Horace Greeley’s attachment to
beats."
H. H. Takbell.
“The value of personal influence in the cam
paign.”
P. 11. Wood.
“Reasons why Horace Greeley should not be
cow hided.”
N. R. Allen.
These subjects would interest some folks,
and as the programme contains the names of
those who propose to do the talking for
Greeley in this county, may be it will be
adopted.

. LITERARY.
The Atlantic Monthly for August is be
fore us, with a rich and attractive table of
contents. A fair and able discussion of the
principal political questions of the day will
be found therein. Hawthorne’s tale, “Sep
timus,” has reached the VIII chapter. The
criticisms on recent literature are very in
structive. James R. Osgood & Co., Boston.
Arthur’s, than which there is not a better
home magazine published, is all alive with
stories and information for the domestic cir
cle. The illustrations in the August number
are, —The New Governess, Virginia Drowned,
Walking-Dress of gray Grenadine, Walking-
Dress, and many others of embroidery, Ini
tial Letters, etc- T. S. Arthur & Sons, Phil
adelphia.
The little ones will be glad to get The
Children’s Hour for August. Drums,
dolls, and all the toys wall be put aside when
their favorite magazine appears. It will be
found up to Its usual standard of excellence.
T. S. Arthur.
Harper’s Magazine for August is crowd
ed with fresh, seasonable, and attractive mat
ter, illustrated with sixty-five engravings,
ai d presents a most brilliant array of con
tributors including the names of Charles
Reade, Anthony Trollope, Miss Thackery,
Emilio Castelar, Justin McCarthy, Porte
Crayon, Bayard Taylor, Harriet Prescott
Spofford, Eugene Lawrence, Charles T. Tuck
erman, George Ward Nichols, Kate Putnam’
Osgood Constance F. Woolson, etc. In ad
dition to a mass of matter by these eminent
authors, there are the five Editorial De
partments, each ably covering its respective
field."
a Murderer at Liberty.—Yesterday af
ternoon, between three and six o’clock,
Kunkee, the German who killed Elijah Mum
ford, on Sunday, May 12th, together with
Kobolenski, who was confined for stealing
horses, escaped from our county jail. Their
plan for escape must have fully matur
ed, as they were both seen at three o’clock,
but when called to supper at six, nothing
could be found of either. They have not yet
been heard of.
The Two Charlies, owned by Capt. Alfred
Miller of this place, in entering the harbor
yesterday struck upon a spile and sunk. The
vessel now lays in the harbor, filled with
water.
One fact is proven beyond all doubt,
and it is that the business men of the
country want U. S- Grant for President.
Evidence of this is abundant. The last
expression was a vote taken on “Chahge”
in Chicago on Monday, which resulted as
follows: Grant 95, Greeley 34.

HOW TO GO WEST. •
This is an enquiry which every one should
have truthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and a little care taken in exam
’cation of Routes will in many cases save
much trouble, time and money.
The “C., B* & Q. R. R..” running from
Chicago through Galesburg to Burlington,
has achieved a splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passenger
Route to the west. At Burlington it connects
with the great Burlington Route which runs
direct through Southern lowa to Nebraska
and Kansas, with close connections to Cali
fornia and the Territories; and passengers
starting from Kenosha County, on their way
westward, cannot do better than to take the
C. B. & Q. and Burlington Route.
This line has published a pamphlet called
“How to go West,” which contains much
valuable Information ; a large correct map of
the Great West, which can be obtained free
of charge by addressing t he General Passen
ger Agent B. & M. R. R. Burlington, lowa.
One Half the people cannot take Castor Oil,
from its terrible nauseating taste, and recoil in the
throat. The Castoria prepared by Dr. Picher i s
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, pleasant to
take, and more effective than Castor Oil. It does
not distress or gripe,but regulates the system, and
operates wuen all other remedies have failed, It
acts like nvigic for Stomach Ache, Constipation,
Flatulency, Croup and Worms. It contains neither
Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. Its soothing
quieting effect, produces natural sloop, and partic
ularly adapts it to crying and teething children.
No article has ever met such unqualified endorse
ment by the Physicians Take no more Bitter
Pills, Narcot’c Syrups, Griping Purgatives or Sick
ening Oils. The Castoria costs but 35 cents, and
when once tried you will never be without it- J.

A Whole People’s Opinion.—When a nation of
forty' millions accepts and end orses as a Standard
Restorative an article that it has had the fullest
opportunities of testing during a period of twelve
years, who can be so absurdly incredulous as to
doubt the excellence of the preparation ? Planta
tion Bitters has passed through this ordeal and is
now the most popular proprietary medicine on
this continent. It would be difficult to find an
adult of either sex between the Atlantic and Pa
cific, or between the northeast corner of Main and
the Gulf of Mexico, who does not know either
from personal experience or observation, that the
renowned vegetable remedy is the purest tonic and
stomachic and the finest alterative and regulating
medicine at present before the world. As a pre.
ventive of, and cure for. diseases generated by
malaria, and as a specific for dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, and all nervous and bilious affections, it is
admitted to be fairly pronounced the Favorite
Houscho’d Tonic and Alterative of the Western
Hemisphere.
