ArtificiaI WOOD.

NJ. Latry, of Grenoble, France, has in
vented singular method of making wood
hard, solid, and heavy, and susceptible of
the highest polish, and of dark color like
ebony. 1t is made by mixing very fine
sawdust with buliock's blood, and then sub
jecting the composition to very seyerep press
ure in hydraulic press. With the mate
rial thus formed, all kinds of furniture and
ornamental work may be made.-Er-
change.
We have no doubt but various articles of
furniture may be madeof this composition,
by pressing it in proper moulds. The op-
Grafton must be performed rapidly, as the
composition viii soon become very bard,
and incapable of being moulded. By sub
stituting solution Of gelatine, ia which a
minute quantity Of the oxyd of iron has
been dissolved for the bullocks' blood,
composition equally as good may be man
ufactured and it will possess the advantage
of being much lighter in color. Indeed, it
may be made of any color, Indeed, it
may be made of any color desired by the
use of pigments. of course, this artificial
wood is not adapted to withstand exposure
to the atmosphere.-ISeientyf American.

"There is considerable speculation here
as to the land sales, and the general opin-
ion is that there will be no bidders. Bu-
chanan's ill-advised measure of the home
stead of the preemptor into the market

for the Opposition. There were no bid
ders at the Omaha sale last week. Not a
single cash bidder, believe. So much
for forcing. There are, however, many
spectators out here, with land warrants,
and as soon as the days of sale shall have
passed they will. begin to locate them.-r

sDR. sDoY AND HIS REscUERs.- s.-Sheriff
Morgan, of st. Joseph, has offered re-
ward of 81 900 for the capture of DR.. Doy.
His rescuers ten in number, from Kansas,
have published statement of the transac-
tion,- which does not differ materially from
the newspaper account. When they were
on their way to the river with Doy, two of
the city night watchmen came up behind
them, but did not venture an attack:
DR.. Doy was in bad health when taken
from the ST. Joseph Jail, and would have
been removed the next day to the State
prison at Jefferson City. He was taken
to his home by his friends, and We trust
all efforts to retake him by the Missouri
kidnappers will be thwarted. ss
At one time it was feared the excite
ment in st. Joseph on account of the res
cue of DR.. Doy would result in the destruc-
ton of the Free Democrat journal and vio-
lence to Mr.. Grant, the editor. But wiser
councils prevailed, and at meeting of the
citizens a resolution declaring the Free
Democrat nuisance was voted down, and
another to the effect that freedom of the
press should sustained, was passed almost
unanimously. Mr.. Grant was in St. Louis
on Friday for materials to- change the St.
Joseph Free Democrat from weekly to. a

1855 $3.50 Szf,l04
Here, we find that IN only twelve coun-
ties, that 1888 sheep have been killed,
and s, 1856 wounded at loss of over $27,-
600 to the owners. If the proportion holds
good throughout the state, the loss to
Wool-growers of Ohio, by the destruction
ofsheep by dogs, will amount to $500, 600.
This loss, has to be sustained BY the farm
ers. We doubt whether all the dogs in the
Stale are worth that sum. The danger of
sheep being killed by dogs, has prevented
many persons from engaging in .wool-grow-
ing. A set of worthless ours are proving
about in almost every neighborhood, and
often in a single night make such havoc
among the sheep, thatsit takes big slice
out of farmers wool clip to, make up the
damage he has sustained. 1t is the duty
of the next Legislature to act upon the
subject, and pass such laws as are necessa-
ry for the protection of sheep. While the
grain crop are so uncertain, farmers must
turn their attention toraising stock. Wool
growing is profitable, provided the sheep
are not destroyed by the dogs.
For the information of our readers, we
we here publish the Law now upon our
Statute Book, for the protection :-7us-
carawas Advocate. @
Section /. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio, That
if any dog or dogs, shall kill ofinjure any
sheep, the owner or harborer of such dog
or dogs, or any of them, shall be liable
for all damages that may be sustained
thereby, to be recovered by the party in
jured, before any court having competent
Jurisdiction. @
Sec. II. Itshall be lawful for any per-
son, at any time, to kill any dog which
shall be found running, worrying or ipjur
ing sheep,
Sec. III. That if the owner of any
dog which is in the habit of running from
home and wandering about without the
presence of its owner, who shall neglect or
refuse to confne such dog after due notice
given of its wandering habits, it shall be
lawful for any person to kill such dog when
ever it may be found roaming about off
the premises, and away from the presence
of such owner. -

yoluc of Railroady to Farmers.

We uotice in some Of the agricultural
journals complaints of the farmers against
railway companies; that they take up the
best lands of the farm, do not protect the
lands. and often kill the sheep and cattle,
and arc of doubtful utility. This is We
ry short-sighted view Of the influence of
railroads upon the farming interests. By
opening new markets for districts remote
from the city they often double the value
of farms within u few years. Instead OF
a dull market the farmers all along the
line of read find it difficult to meet the
pressing demands for milk, butter, cheese,
calves, lambs, pigs. and almost everything
that the farm produces. Husbandry thrives
under the stimulus Of a hungry market
Almost everything brings cash in hand,
instead of the old store pay with a settle
mcnt once year. Farm lands are in
brisk demand, and go up in price forty,
fifty and hundred per cent. We believe
that railroads have added enough to the
value of the farms Of this country to pay
for one half the original expense of build
ING them, enormous rs it is. We were
converSing with an intelligent farmer q
few days Since who lives upon the line of
the Syracuse and Binghampton railroad.
The stock was worthless, and he had lost
the six hundred dollars he had put into it.
But he said he considered it ono Of the
best investments he ever made, for it had
added ten thousand dollars to the value
Of his farm. Farmers, then, can afford
to put up with the trifling inconvenience
of railroads. 1t is safe for them to sub
scribe for share of the stock, according
to their means, it they can thereby secure
the building of !; road and open q ready
market for their produce.-N. \. Times.

alfal,; and Sheep Raising.

California papers have a good deal to
say about the famous Alfalfa, and there
is growing determination manifested 10
give it an extensive trial. y lac number
of the .San -ialreos Ln,tppea,i;ai gays:
.'Some months since, we directed the
attcntion Of our readers to the Importance
of cultiratiny the Alfalfa generally through
ont tile State, as the most reliable and
available grass for autumn pasturage. In
proof of lis excellence, we mentioned a
gentlemanliving SAM Joaquin county who
had, liom a few acres, cut four times the
grasses usually produces, besides having
excellent fall and winter pasturage for his
milch COWS. Since then, quite favorable
impression has obtained among valley
farmers in regard to the adaptabli!-
tv of the Alfalfa to thcis wants. Now,
What We wish to say here is, that, as the
attention of stock raisers is being turned
towords the mountain lands as the best
ground for reising sheep, would it not be
au excellent experiment at least, for some
OF our farmers to introduce it here? 1t
would doubtless succeed. Sheep do not
require any other food than such as our
hills supply, from the month of February
to November. But later than November.
they begin to fall away in flesh. and when
great numbers are grazed together, a large
per cent. is often lost 10y starvation. If
the patrons ofagriculture, in the mountain
counties, succeed at all in stock breeding.
sheep must be their staple. From the
extreme drought and burning heat Of our
autumns, it will never he possible for the
mountains to do much at raising horued
cattle. They require too much food.
Sheep are different; they are precisely
adapted to our climate, and require hut
little food. But that little they must
have the year round, and we believe the
sowing Of the Alfalfa would secure it. In
Il few years it would spread over !. large
scope Of country, and thousands OF acres
of land, now without amy value whatever,
would be made to contribute largely to
our wealth"
