LUSIBERING EXTRAORDINARY.

The Eagle, printed at Grand Rap
ids, Michigan, learns from Mr.. Cook,
of the firm of Pardee, Cook q Co., one
of the heaviest numbering firms on the
continent, who has an office in that
city, that an ofshoot of that firm, to be
known as Pardee, Cook & Blanchard,
propose to try an experiment, which
will undoubtedly be watched with
much interest by all lumbermen.
An extensive dock frontage on the
Calumet river, in the suburbs of Chi
cago, has been purchased, On which a
mill is to be built, which, when COM
pleted, will have Q saving capacity of
20,000,000 feet of lumber per year.
This mill is to be furnished with logs
cut on the Great Sauble river, in Mich
igan. The firm or firms directly and
indirectly interested in the project own
$4,000 acres of pine lands on that riv-
er, on which it is thought from 250,-
100000 to 300,000,000 feet of good
pine is standing, and perhaps more.
These logs are to be rated to Chicago,
or to the mill on the Calumet, drawn
by tugs. The rafting will be done in
the summer time, beginning in May
and closing about the first Of Septem-
ber.
Messrs. Pardee, Cook & Blanchard
are confident, Notwithstanding the dis
asters that have befallen all attempts
to raft lumber and square timber here
tofore, that they will have no trouble
in floating logs. One hint in oonnec,
ton with this scheme, Old Prob. will
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-07-16

furnish them, as he does all mankind,
with hints of approaching storms, and
their experiment will not be SO purely
a matter of chance as has been the case
in times past in similar efforts.
They anticipate handsome profits
from their venture. 1t is believed the
towage will not be more expensive than
the freights on lumber; perhaps not SO
much.
The slabs and edgings, technically
the "off haul" which at Muskegon,
Grand Haven and other numbering
points on the western shores, are al
most worthless, are in demand in Chi
cago, and it is thought will sell for
enough nearly or quite to pay for the
saving of the lumber, an item of some
magnitude, as lumbermen will agree.
And they will be able to devote their
attention to "bill stuff" and will thus
cut their logs to the best possible ad-
vantage and will save the waste of the
saw kerf to a great extent.

STOCK RAISING IN NEBRASKA.

LINCOLN, Nebraska. 1873.

I-lNCOLNy NGDTuSka, 10 y.
About the Goth of March, / took
the train from here for Chicago, 542
miles. Leaving this city at two on one
afternoon, should ordinarily have
reached that Queen Of the Great Lakes
at three o'clock .on the next afternoon.
But on arriving at the Missouri
found it impossible to cross, for accor-
ding to the local phrase it was ''gorged
with ice." 1t was as if a glacier had
rushed down from an Alpine ravine
and blocked up the track along Swiss
valley. Such an iceberg had not been
seen there before during this season,
and it was next day swept down the
river.
Meantime, however, several cars
filed with cattle and hogs for Chicago
were sent back % miles to Ashland to
spend the night in the yard where they
had been kept through the winter. 1
went with them in order to inspect the
Nebraska style cf stock fattening.
One yard visited is on a neck of
land between two rivers, one fresh and
one salt, so that no salt is needed for
the stock. The only shelter was
close. fence four feet high on one side,
and hay cribs on another, which broke
the force of the wind. Though the
winter had been the severest ever
known, the cattle were in good condi-
ton, and none of them had died. They
had no covering whatever overhead.
The food Of the stock was mainly
Indian corn, each ear cut into three
pieces, and shoveled from wagon in
to huge troughs scattered here and
there in the yard. Wild hay in the
side cribs was always within reach and
some Of the corn, cobs and all, was
ground in a horse mill into coarse
meal.
The hay cost only the cutting, being
free on what in England would be
called commons" The corn was part
ly raised close at hand, ninety bushels
and upward on single acre-and
partly bought at Is cents bushel.
The cattle were Texas-had been
driven last year 1900 miles from the
far southwest. The first cost was $12
per head-and So more for driving to
the yard. Five dollars more will pay
passage to Chicago. The last lot of a
hundred sent from this yard sold for
four and half cents, or more than
fifty dollars for each beef.
No business is growing faster in Ne.
braska than stock-raising. None will
pay better. Indian corn is too bulky
for distant transport. 1t needs con
denser. What it needs it finds in cat
tie and hogs. Hog-skin and cowhide
make the best bags-bags that hold
ten times more than canvas bags Of the
same size.
Ashland is new town on the "Bur
lington Route" from the Mississippi to
Fort Kearney, and twenty-five miles
west Of Plattsmouih. In that land
district over $4,000 hoihesteaders and
pre-emptors have filed claims at the
United States Office in Lincoln, and
about 10000 have bought B. q NJ.
Railroad land en- ten years credit and
six per cent. interest. On land con-
tracts since 1872 nothing of the prin-
cipal is. payable till the end of four
years.

THE WAY NICK BOWERS WAS CAUGHT.

Nick Bowers was member of the
original Cbristy Minstrels, and, in his
day, was the greatest middle man in
terrogator" known in the profession.
Nick used to tell, with great merri-
ment, an incident of his boyhood. To
preserve the flavor of the relation, we
will record it in Nick's own language,
and only regret that we can not ac,
company it with his inimitable gestic-
ulation:
"My old man." said Nick, Gas gen
eral thing, was pretty steady old
gent, but once in while he would get
obliviOus, and water was not the cause
of it. recollect certain holiday was
approaching, and had been skinning
around to get little money to have
time with on that day but the fates
and purses were against me. 1t was
but two days prior to the anticipated
holiday, and | hadn't nary a red. Re-
member this, boys, when l add that on
the same afternoon l came into the
house, when 10 there on the floor, to-
tally overcome by his libations, lay my
respected daddy, and beside him lay
six shining half-dollars, which had
rolled from his pocket. Boys, I've
been an honest man all my life, but
once, when was boy, l committed
a theft. | hooked one Of those half
dollars. Thinks to myself, the old
mans been on a jamboree, and won't
know how much he spent, and will
never miss it. But mark you, the next
morning | and my two brothers were
summoned into our fathers presence.
The old mans face lowered. l thought
of the half.dollar and knew that a
storm was brewing.
Boys" he said, "last night when I
came home had six halfdollars. One
of ems gone. Your mother didn't
take it. There's been no one else in
the house. Which one of you took it ?"
We all protested our innocence.
Boys" said the old man, "that
half-dollar never walked off, and Pm
going to find out which one of you took
Turning around, he took down from
the wall an old hint-lock blunderbuss.
This he deliberately loaded with pow
der and buckshot in our presence
then fastened it upon the table, and
cooked it, took seat behind it, hold
ing the string in his hand, and in sol
emn tones addressed us thusly:
"Boys, I'm going to discover the
thief and punish him at the same time.
You must each of you blow into the
muzzle of that gun. When the guilty
one blows, off goes his head. Now
then, you have chance will you own
up or blow up?"
''Ben," said the old man to my old
est brother, "have you got that half
dollar?"
"No, sir"
"Take a blow"
Ben did SO in safety.
"Nick," (eh, boys, / tell you the
chills began to crawl down my back)
"got that half-dollar ?"
"No, sir" said with defiant swag-
ger.
"Blow in that gun"
walked up bravely, gave blow
lodged
"Nick !" said the old man in vsice
of thunder, "where is that half-dol-
lar?"
He had me. The truth lodged cut
of me. Said l, "Out in the barn, pap"

The English SparrOWs.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
rapidity with which the English spar
row has multiplied since it's introduc-
ton to this country. The city of New
York is literally alive with them, and in
many Of our inland cities they seem to
have thriven quite as well as in New
York. We have, therefore, at last,
pretty fair opportunity of judging of
their value and of placing just esti-
mate upon the objections that have been
made to them.
Thus far our observation leads us to
believe that the sparrow is not an insect
ivorous bird. In New York they feed
chiefly upon grain which they find in
the droppings of the horses. In Great
Britain they are known as the most mis-
chievous of grain destroyers so far
they bid fair to sustain the same char
acter here. We have watched them by
the hour, and killed and dissected num-
bers of them, and could never find that
they fed on anything but vegetable
matter. If, therefore, they should
multiply and spread through the rural
districts to the same extent that they
have done in the cities, they would
prove very destructive to our grain
fields.
A few years ago the city of Paterson,
N. j., and it's neighborhood, abounded
with bluebirds, orioles and wrens. A
box put up in any yard or garden was
sure to have pair of bluebirds or
wrens for its occupants. In an evil
hour, however, wealthy Irishman i'm
ported quantity of sparrows, put up
thatch covering on the end of the house
for them, and did everything to make
them comfortable. They took to their
new quarters with great relish, multi
piled until the city is alive with them,
and now there is not a bluebird, wren
or oriole to be seen! Gardens, in which
three or four bird boxes were always in
habited by as many pairs of bluebirds,
are now deserted, and the worst of it is,
we have not got rid of the insects

A PrineelY Gift.

Professor Agassiz recently delivered
an address TO the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts on the occasion of the visit by
that body to the Museum of Compare
tive Zoology at Cambridge, and in the
course of his remarks expressed his
views regarding the establishment of
summer school for the instruction of
school teachers in natural history. He
also suggested the holding of the first
session during the coming summer at
Nantucket. The publication of the
programme and details of this proposed
movement attracted the attention of Mr..
John Anderson, of New York city, the
wealthy tobacco merchant, who consid-
cred that the island of Penikese, which
he owned, and which he had used as a
private summer resort, would be admir-
ably adapted to the purposes of the
proposed School of Natural History. On
the following day he deputed two gen.
tlemen to proceed to Cambridge and to
tender to Professor Agassiz the title to
the island, with all its improvements
and buildings, as a permanent location
for the school. Of course, the generous
! s lift was at once accepted, and MIR. An
derson has supplemented that act by
the munifcent pecuniary donation OF
$50, 900 as the basis of an endowment
fund for the institution, which perma.
nently establishes it.
The island of Penikese, which will
become the future domicile of the pro-
posed institute, is one of the Elizabeth
group of islands, situate at the entrance
of Buzzard's Bay, on the southern coast
of Massachusetts. 1t contains about
one hundred acres, and presents advan
tages which peculiarly adapt it to the
purposes contemplated by Professor
Agassiz. Its situation in the ocean
within easy access of the mainland, Sc
cures privacy and freedom from intru
sion, while its wond, rful fertility vii
enable the institution to maintain itsel
almost within its own domain. Mr.
Anderson, since his purchase of thu
island some years ago, has expended
large sums in buildings and improve
ments, and the commercial value of tn,
whole property may be considered lit
tie short of 100000. His endowmen
may therefore be considered as equiv
alent to $3.50, 900.
