We invite the attention of stock growers
to the improved appearance of our Herds
mems Directory. Card after card has been
added until it begins to assume an impor-
tant appearance. 1t is a convenient and
economical'mean by which our stockmen
can farhiliarTze others with their marks and
brands, which is'worth a great deal. The
HusBANpMAN is the only Journal Which is
devoted to the live stock ihterest-andis ex-
tensively circulated among the stock own
ers-in the Territory, and consequently is
the best medium for the purpose. Those
who have made the experiment are highly
pleased with the result. Only last week we
made another order for cuts, and expect to
make another about the 4th of July, and
trust our friends will send us in a goodly
number by this date.

Thomas McGonigal, one of our prosperous
valley farmers, made us a call this week.
He says that the grasshoppers lave created
sad havoc in his vicinity. His own fields
have been entirely swept bare, and those of
his neighbors are growing beautifully less
every day. The 'hoppers of all ages, from
those Just Matched out to those which are
taking wings, are very thick. Some are re-
sowing, while others give'up all hope of a
crop for the season.

One, of the most remarkable monstrosities
OF which we have heard in some time is that
of chicken recently Matched in the poultry
yard of Mrs. McGonigal, of the Missouri
valley. This bird was well formed in every
respect, and had four perfect legs, of which
it had good use. The feet on one side had
five toes, and on the other four. The front
legs. on which the principal weight OF the
body was poised, were a little farther for
ward than usual, and the hind legs were a
little back, but directly behind them. Un-
fortunately, the wonderful bird did not live,
but it has been stuffed by Jack Perkins, who
is a taxidermist, and it can be examined by
any who feel curious on the subject.

All we have to do is to point to the

instances have occurred since the

ing below that figure, as there are
no Scent drinks sold here" The
invention was manufactured by the
New York Registering Company,
and is the first introduced into the
city. One old bartender said that
"the boys will have to give up
wearing fine clothes, gold watches
and chains, ETC., as this Internal
new-fangled machine will break up
all funny business with the drawer.
No more carriage rides to the Park
on Sunday and summer visits to
the watering places. Oh! for the
good old times. They will soon be
gone, but the boys will get in their

as the reporter went out of the door,
in a quandary as to the meaning of
all his remarks.

with little silver circles containing

which is a small drawer. This
drawer contains pasteboGFd cards,

that amount is handed to the i'm.
