EDITOR ADVANCE: A. W. Burnham,
Of Bigelow, has proved himself equal
to any emergency in the chicken line.
In 1873 he had no chickens and seeing
large wild duck leave her nest, lie
marked the spot and went straightway
and bought Il setting of hens eggs and
carefully exchanged them for the duck
eggs. He marked the date, and in
weeks went back and got little chick
ems. These he cared for with a moth
erly care, only to find in the fall that
they were all roosters but one, and that
one was carried away 10y something in
the early fall. Nothing daunted, how
ever, he made an exceange Of part of
his family of roosters with his neigh
bors for hens, and from this start he
now has about 10 or 50 Of as fine speci-
mems rs any of his neighbors.
Eli Fenstermaker is another ingeni-
Gus settler of Bigelow. He has this
winter invented and tested a fishing
machine that catches and pulls the fish
safely out Oh the surface of the ice.
All lie has to do then is to pick item
up and carry them home.

First you will see crowd Of men gal

with their papooseS tied to their backs,
and leading the poorer ponies. Very
often they have poles a:tac' ed to each
side OF the pony and dragging along
behind. Sometimes the children ride
Oh these and sometimes they have their
baggage Oh them. The men and wom-

when they do the women walk a little

I was member of company of in.

As escort at headquarters from the time
Gen. Halleck took the command of the
Western army in the field until Sept.
first, 1862, when Gen. IIa]leck was
called to Washington aud Gen. Grant
placed in command OF the Western
army. Our cOmpa ~ was ordered to
pack up and march. We private SOL
diers could not guess where We were
going or where we should halt. We
started south from Corinth, Miss, at
10 O'Clock a. m. We had a good baker
in each mess, and the Captain, VIM.
Ford, had said that we would now
draw rations of -four instead of hard
tack, so that when We had marched q
miles south and came to a large planta.

which was fine large building, erected
in true Southern style, with large

BURNING HAY,

INDIAN LAKE, Jan. 10, 1877,
EDITOR ADVANCE: The question
has been asked me so many times how
much hay can twist in Il day with my
machine, that, III order to answer cor
rectly, tested the matter thoroughly.
l can twist 100 pounds All hour very
easily. Fred Fiero twisted : of 4 cord
in less than all hour. The of cord
lasted 2 days-it was slough haw and
quite damp. The 100 hundred pounds
that l twisted was fine upland blue

iron heating stove without damper in
the pipe i'll one hour and fifteen min

Now figuring 81 pounds consumed in
one hour and a quarter and You will
find the result to be SO pounds in Is
hours. Now in lib days, or S months,
You would burn 1921 pounds, or 81
tons. These figures are calculated for
business men. Our ordinary cook
stoves will not burn much more than
half that amount should say that 6
tons would be sufficient to last from

though so many are now and have been
burning hay for two or three years past
there are but few if any tia: can tell
you how much hay is required to last
one stove one year. Hay is generally
put up laphazard, some having enough
and others falling short. l think the
above figures fair estimate: however
it is better to have II ton too much than
to not have enough.
"A fair estimate Of the cost of hay

will be about $3.50 per ton. Hay can

Every passenger began to peer around
and the man who hal made the diseov'

FIRST man. as the search weakened
little.

was the sad reply.
Then every passenger straightens up,
every eye looks into vacancy. and mol
the faintsst smile can bs seen ON any
face. A person boarding the car just
then would wonder what great man In
the city bad died. and II the passengers
were on their way to take look at his
