The LaEfarpe SuIiiraGor s.na glow
Works

During a recent visit ia Bushnell,
Illinois, we called upon the enterpris.
ing Tirm OF Pierpont q futile, and
spent few Ileasant and profitable
hours looking through their extensive
factory.
1t Is hardly necess :ry TO say to Texas
farmers that this IL where the popular
LaHarpe corn ard cotton cultivat1r 10
made, for during the past st ven years
they bsve become we'll acquainted
with 1t, and have recognized its many
superior qualities.
Bushnell is a very enterprsing town
and has many advantages as a manu-.
featuring place, chief of which are its
competing railroads, furnishing quick
and cheap transportation TO all south
ern aud southwestern points.
The most prominent buildings in
the place are those built and occupied
by Messrs. Pierpont & Tuttle, as fac
torysaud warehouses. We admired the
convenience of the buildings no less
than the perfect systemah ica enables
the proprietors to turrfdt their i'm
proved machines with such rapidity.
The LsHarpe cuitivators aud pioss,
which meet the wants of the Texas
farmers so perfectly, are strong, and
finely painted, striped and vanished.
The complete cultivstor as It stands,
ready to hitch to with its high arch
its improved equalizer, with wrought
iron levers, and its long, Keen shove,s,
finely tempered and polished, is q
handsome machine, one that will
please the most particular No cas-,
iron Is used about it. In all places
where east iron is generally used, NAL.
lesble iron has been substituted, thus
absolutely preventing the breakage
which so often occasions trouble and
delay.
The LaHarpe double shovel plows
are very popular. We should Judge,
from the pumber of orders the firm
has already received. Their iron beam
double shovel has extrs heavy and
strong shovels, and the wood beam
has an adjustable maileab.e iron break
pin arrangement aud extra heavy
shovBis.
We noticed that all timber used In
the construction of these machines Is
the hest white oak, and that il is all
thoroughly seasoned before being
worked. Machines made from such
timber will last.
The Pierpont saiky plow possesses
advantages which cur farmers appre.
ciate. II is made entirely of wrought
and malieabie iron and steel. and is
very strong and light. The pillow is 80

ease. Messrs. Pierpont & futile are

thing. This Centaur, for of course he
would be mounted on horse. would
be dressed in bucksk,u breeches with
fringe down the seam on the outside
of the legs. blue or gray hunting
shirt set off with scarlet cloth and gold
lace, belted around the waist with a
leathern girdie clasped with silver,
bearing a battery of sixshooters and
savage sheath knife. and crowned
with sotnbrero. This would prob
ably fill the average ideal of the Tan-
ger. of the wild frontier o. Texas. For
the past few days there has been on a
visit to this city the chief of Texas
rangers, man who is the peer of
Walker, Hayes, MeCulloch. and the men
whose names are in history and whose
exploits have illustrated the romance
and daring of life on the Texas border
This man is Major John B. Jones, the
commander oil the frontir battalion, for
it must be known that the state of
Texas maintains in the field force of
seven companies for the defense of the
frontier from foreign ard from the yio>
lence of the desperadoes and rufhans
who have resorted to that wild region.
Nothing could be more unlike the hero
of the dime novel we have appealed to
than this distinguished ranger. BY
birth and education a gentleman. and
by profession lawyer, this daring chief
of the lswless border as he appears on
our streets and as guest in the beet
houses, is small man scarcely OF med>
ium height and stature, whose conven-
tional dress of black broadcloth, spot
less linen and dainty boot on small
| foot, would not distinguish him from
any other citizen, whae IN his quiet,
easy manner, almost free from gesticu-
iation, his soft and modulated voice,
| his grave but genial conversation, one
would look in vain for the marks of
the frontier bravo.

pisiity woald he seen in every feature,
and especially in the firm mouth and

How to rr.a. Insect stlns..

A writer in the London Garden gives
the following hints on this subject
The pain eaused by the sting Of a
plant or ihsect i the result Of q certain
amount of Beid poison injected into the
blood. The first thing 10 be done is to
press the t1be Of snall key firmly on
the wound, moving the key from side to
side 10 facilitate the expulsion Of the
sting and is accompanying poison. The
sting. II left IN the wound. should be
carefully extracted. otherwise IL will
greatly increase the local irritation. The
poison Of stings being acid, common
sense points 10 the alkalies as the proper
means Of cure. Among the most easily
procured remedies may he mentioned
soft soap. liquor Of ammonia lspirits Of
hartshorn smelling salts, washing
soda, quicklime made into a paste with
water, lime-water, the juice OF an onion,
tobacco-juice, chewed tobacco. bruised
dock leaves, tomato juice, wood ashes,
tobacco ash and carbonate Of soda.
II the sting be severe. rest and cool
ness should be added to the other reme-
dies, more especially in the case of ner-
vous subjects. Nothing is so apt to make
the poison active as heat, and nothing
favors its activity less than cold. Let
the body be kept cool and at rest, and
the activity of the poison will be reduced
to a minimum. Any active exertion
whereby the circulation is quickened
will increase both pain and swelling. If
the swelling be severe, the part may be
rubbed with sweet oil, or drop or two
of laudanum. Stings in the eye, ear,
mouth Or throat sometimes lead to
serious Consequences in such cases
medical advice should always be sought
as soon as possible.
