STOCKING OUR WESTERN PRAI-
RIES WITH SHEEP.

Many wealthy Eastern farmers have
purchased, the present season, farms in the
west. with the view of going extensively
into the wool business, and are now about
to drive from the East sheep in sufficient
numbers to stock their farms at once. In
SO doing we think they will commit grea,
error. Neither wooi-growing nor any
other business can be carried on in q new
country so extensively and with SO much
profit for the first few years as afterwards
We have conversed upon this subject with
an intelligent and practical farmer in Kane
county, who emigrated from The East las,
season with the calculation of turning his
whole attention to the raising of WOOL
After purchasing considerable tract Of
land he procured from the East choice
flock OF about 800 ews all about two and
three years old. His flock being small was
well taken care of during the winter and
he now finds it doubled, and by the time
he is prepared to have proftabIy a flock
Of thousands, he feels confident that he shall
find the already spring up from his little
flock that emlgrated with him. This is un-
doubtedly much the best way as the driving
of large flock great distance must be
attended with much injury to the sheep
unless great carefulness is used. -Chicago

Bones OF BLACK HALK. HIS singmla,
grare.-The editor Of the Burlington, Ia.
Hawkeye states that the remains Of Black
Hawk were stolen, and Gov. Lucas made
a requisition for them in behalf of the widow
ard children of the old Brave, and found
them in the hands Of on anatomist at Qun-
cy, we'll cleaned and ready to be WIRED
They are still in Burlington, though it was
the desire and expectation Of the family
that they should be deposited in the Bur-
lington burial ground. A writer 10 the
Hawkeye in describing the "New Purchase
on the east of Des Moines river, gives the
following account of the grave of Black
Hawk:
At the upper end Of the prairie, few
hundred yards from where the timber sets
in, is the grave Of the once renowned
chief of the Sacs and Foxes-the mighty
and unaconquerable '.Black Hawk" Ii,
might not be out Of place here to give a
description Of his grave. 1t is constructed
after the Indian mode Of burial, by building
a pen of round poles about.ten feet long
and three wide; the pen is built as high as
the shoulders of a man would be when sit
Jug upoh tHo Sfouho. III tue west emu OF
this pen, the mighty Black Hawk was
placed IN sitting posture, with his face
towards the rising sun, his gun, tomahawk
and blanket were placed by the side of him
and then the pen was covered over, leaving
the head neck Of the chief exposed to the
weather; his face was painted red, and
striped offwith black, just as living young
Indian dandy paints when he goes court
ing thus conveying the idea to the living
Indians. that their great chief had gone
,ourting to another world, where, should
he receive the favor of the "Grea, Spirit"
he would be united to some squaw, who
had passed the bounds of morality, and that
here they would live forever, In the green
,unting grounds were deer and elk abounds

BUFFALO HUNT.

This novel spectacle came off yesterday,
and as was anticipated, was attended by an
immense concourse of people. At few
minutes after O'Clock, the herd of Bufflloes
were let loose in a circular area enclosed by
fence and railing. French, the hunter,
dressed in appropriate Indian clothing.
and mounted on fleet grey horse,
uttered an Indian whoop and pursued
them. After playing with them two-thirds
round the space he threw his lasso and cap
tnred one of the herd, but when within three
Fights of mile of the starting point, the
whole herd broke in the inner side among
the multiiude-then came it the peoples
turn to seek for safety, and the rush was tre-
mendous. Flight in every direction became
the general order, and the route extended on
all sides-select pic MICS spread out in gras-
sy angles which promised inviolate privacy
from obtrusion were invaded and abandoned
by their affirighted owners and disappeared
with unaccountable dispatch; the trees be-
came places of refuge and every hole and
corner which promised security was tenanted.
Meanwhile the hunter held on 10 the captu-
red Buffalo, until in passing a marshy place
the horse sank deep in the morass, and he
had to let 60 the lasso, when the animal
made off and joined his kindred fugutives.
French soon liberated himself and again with
lasso in hand rode over the hill and out of
sight of the spectators. The Buffalo which
escaped remained scampering among the
people for half an hour: but of the others on
" FIVE had been taken when our reporter
left. About five O'Clock three of the herd
came round near the starting place when
French mounted again to renew the pursuit
in earnest and requested the people to make
sufficient room. AT the first throw he caught
one by the fore leg but in running through
a swamp the lasso slipped, the Buffalo got
free, got among the multitude, and then re-
commenced the scene offiight and confusion

The Coronation Chairs, two Of which

less for their antiquity than the use TO which
they have been so long consecrated. The
most ancient of these chairs was brought
by King Edward L., with Regalia, from
Scotland, in 1897. The other was made
for Queen Mary. On Coronation occa-
sions (Which take place here one of these
chairs is covered with gold tissue, and
placed before the altar. These relics OF
Ancient Monarchy, while It is evident thai
the utmost skill and taste of the artisan
was bestowed, show that the business OF
chair making in those days was in its rudes'
state.

From the Prairie Farmer.
B U R.NING AIR l E
BY NJ. L. DUNLAP.

As the time will soon approach in which
the prairies are usually burnt over. | would
call the attention of farmers to the import
ance ofchangiug the time of these wholesale
CONGREGATIONS. In the first place, do you
want to break up prairie for corn in the spring
let the old grass remain till the pillow isready
to turn over the sward; harrow we'll and plant
during the month of May, and my word for
it you will get good crop; the land will be
nearly free of grass and weeds, the sod will
be decomposed and in excellent condition
for the next crop after cross ploughing. Do
you wish to break prairie during the summer,
leave the old grass till the pillow is ready;
and should you break large piece, burn al
ternate strips as you can break it; this can
be done when the dew commences ElllnG.
as YOU can command the fire more etfectu-
ally then, its progress being slow. | have a
piece of wheat, sowed on land prepared in
this way, which is estimated to yield % to
30 bushels per acre--the cultivation alike in
both cases. In the first the ground is free
of grass and weeds, and the other is very full
of both. | can see no difference between
oats sowed on prairie burnt over and plough
ed last June, and these on old land well cul
vitated: in either case the yield will be a,
least fifty bushels per acre.
Do you want fresh feed at all times during
the summer for your cattle, burn over patch
es as you may require from time to time, ant
the feed will be as tender as in the spring
Are you compelled TO cut your hay after har
vest, burn over your meadow land after the
grass gets a few inches high, and you Car
cut first rate hay in September.
My own experience has convinced me tina
these are facts, and such facts as have ena
bled me to raise good crops on new land, am
save considerable expense in getting the lan'
OLD.
Good reasons can be shown why the crop
are better on land thus trelted, but in thi
place | will offer only one: The alkalies pro
duced in burning the grass in short tim
appear to become fixed in the soil, and re
quirc long atmospheric action to dissolv
them in sufficient quantities for the CROWN
crop; but in this case rapid decompositio
takes place in the soil, and the alkalies ar
in proper state to unite With the other il
gradients of the soil, to stimulate a rapi
growth in vegetation.

TIE SPEAKING MAcmNE.-I have as

The SPEAKING MAcMNE.-I have as yet
seen no notice in your valuable periodical
of an invention which certainly merits
every praise that can be bestowed upon
unwearied perseverance and successful in
genuity. 1t is the Sprachmaschiue, or the
speaking machine, not quite appropriate
" called Europhonia, at Mr.. Fabers,' the
result of beautiful adaptation Of mechanics
to the laws Of acoustics. You are aware
that the attempts Of Cagniard la Tour,
Blot, Muller, Steinle, to produce articulatef
have not Eeen very successful; in fact, our
knowledge OF the physiology Of the larynx
and its appendices has been SO limited that
we have not even an explanation Of the
mode in which the false.to is produced -
Mr.. Faber's instrument solves the difficult
ties. can only give you very imperfect
idea Of the instrument. To understand the
mechanism perfectly, it would be nee essa-
ry to take it to pieces, and the dissection
naturally is not shown the visiter: less from
wish to conceal anything than from the
time and labor necessary for such pur-
pose. The machine consists of a pair of
bellows, at present only worked by pedal
similar to that Of an organ, OF n caoutch-
QUO imitation ofthe larynx, tongue, nostrils,
and set Of keys by which the springs are
brough. into action. (The further de-
scrption would be unintelligble without
diagrams.) The rapid,ty Of uterance de-
ponds, of course, upon the rapidly with
which the keys are played; and through
my own attempts TO make the instrument
speak sounded rather ludicrous, Mr.. Faber
was most successful. There is no doubt
that the machine may be much improved,
and more especially that the tone Of the
voice may be agreeably modified. The
weather naturally affects the tension of the
Indian rubber; and, although Mr.. Faber
can rise the voice or depress it, and can
lay stress upon particularly syllable or
word, still one cannot avoid feeling thai
there is room for Improvement. This is
even more evident when the instrument is
made to sing; but when we remember
what difficulty many people have 10 re.
gulate their own chorde vocals, it is not

AN ACCIDENT Not quite .fatal.-The
old saying that " there's many slip be-
tween the cup and the lip" was verified
in little accident that took place on Sa-
turday about o'clock, P. M. A young
lady and gentleman, as the tale writer
would say, Of German extraction, were ia
king a ramble for pleasure by themselves
along the north side Of the canal, they had
occasion to cross over to the opposite side.
Over the lock at Pearce's factory single
plank is laid; this they sought out. The
young man taking precedence OF the lady,
took the lead with her hand in his, the wa
ter there running pretty swift When
about half way over the lady, becoming
giddy, lost command Of her locomo,ion and
fell in, but John (Which we afterwards
learnt was his nancy was not pulled in
after her, for in his fright he had relIn-
pushed his hold Of her hand. In fact, John
was so paralised that he did not jump in
after her as all true lovers would have
done. nor offer any assistance whatever.
Had it not been for the timely aid of two
gentlemen who near by, the poor girl
would most certainly have been drowned.
After the rescue the scene that took place
upon the bank Of the canal is described as
being ludicrous as we'll as amusing. John
found his presence Of mind and the use OF
his tongue after he had found his lazy
love was safe. My dear Christine" said
he. approaching her, her long hair hang
ing down. as completely saturated with wa
ter as were her clothes, and he fearing to
embrace her lest he should get his white
pantaloons and brown linen coat wet

The gentleman, who attended her after
wards, informed us that the twain wer
soon TO have been married, but the young
lady vowed she would not unite hersel

spirit as not to attempt the rescue.of VIZ
