HyuNalo Hunting.

The half breeds OF portions Of British
America organize regular hunts. and
on such occasions they take all their
household effects with them. The wo-
men and children are slowed away In
rude carts, and the men ride the mus
tangs which are to play so prominent a
part In the chase. AS the long calva-
cade winds over the grass-clad prairie,
made gay with many species of bril- l.
ant flowers, it presents an inspiriting
sight, and recalls, in small way, the
advance of an army. When it reaches
the buffalo grounds camp is pitched
in convenient locality, close 20 wood
and water, if possible, and, after that
is done, tho leader takes his men TO the
leeward of herd, and distributes them
in such manner that they may able
to drive it toward the encampment, III
order to avoid sac % much as POS
Sible ingatherlng up the meat. Ihey
Eome INES place baffalo chips III such u
manner on the praries as 10 make them
II
these, it breaks away from them, ana
heads perhaps for the camp, where an
other party OF hunters Is ready to re.
ceive it. When everything is arranged
the men close in gradually on the
thousands Of shaggy creatures that DOT
the PLAIN, probably is tar as the eye
can see, ami, on arriving within charg-
Ing distance, they dash on AT the bes'
speed of their horses. Then commences
a scene 10 which no pencil can do full
Justice. The alarmed thrOugS, on see
ing their Toes, break away i'll wild ter
ror. the COWS being generally at the
head OF the column, owing TO their
great Neetness and lightness and the
calves being next 10 them, while the
burly bulls close the rear and nanks.
This terrified host caused the ground
TO fairly tremble beneath Its weight,
and the noise of its movements may be
heard q long distance off, as 1t is not
unlike the roar of an advancing hur-
ricane. When the hunters range
alongside the crowding multitude they
use rifle and revolver so ragldly that
the noise sounds like the firing of a
heavy body of sktrmishers. They re-
ouire few shots to kill an animal, one
or two being generally sufficient; for
their trained buffalo runners carry
them so close 70 the herd that bnllet
can be planted in whatever portion OF
the body the hunter wishes. The re-
suit Is that, in run OF perhaps twenty
miles, a thousand or two animals may
be lying on the ground, and in some
instances double that number. When
the recall is sounded, the horsemen re-
turn and devote their attention 10 the
wounded, and soon put them out OF
their misery. The carts follow the
hunters and gather up the meat, and
the greater portion Of that Is, in few
hours, ready to be placed on The dry
ing stages, while the hides are being
prepared for curing. When the ex-
petition returns after the grand hunt,
which sometimes lasts for weeks, its
members have meat enough 10 feed
them for several months, and many a
buffalo robe with which to provide
clothing and 1uxuries for their families.

A. GluttOnous Eagle.

Eagles frequent the forests Of the
higher Sierra. When the winter storns
prevail, they must have serious time
in getting food. 1t is scarcely to be
wondered ut, therefore, that one was
found recently feeding upon the body
OF COW that was killed on the
Sierra Valley road. This COW,
became crazed by the storm,
and.ossed the horses, sleigh
driver and lady passenger of Dar-
ling's mail sleigh out of the road into
the snow. For this she was killed, and
the eagle was found by her partly coE-
sumed carcass. Mr.. Hines of the Ban
ner mill, and another passenger were
coming in from the valley on the mail
sleigh, and noticing that the eagle did
nc: 1ly away, attempted TO frighten it.
They then discovered that the bird had
actually glutted Itself until it was un-
able 70 fly. Mr. Hines tried to catch
IL. in order to bring it alive to Truckee
Sinking waist deep in the loose snow
All every step, Nj. Hines could make
but sorry pursuit, and the eagle, by
tapping its great wings and vigorous
ly using its beak and talons, managed
TO keep out of his reach. lie followed
it for some time, and once or twice came
near Over;aking it. There was reyol-
yer in the sleigh, but the men very
humanely forebore to use it against the
poor bird. They describe the eagle as
being very large and powerful, and as
having magnificent wings.

M,asma Rendered Powerless.

The most certain way to render pow rless
the missmatic vapors wulch pro ;uce chllls and
fever and other malarlous disorder, is 10
fortify the system against them with that
matchless preven i've of periodic feve's. Hos.
tstter's Stomach Bitters The remed al opera
ton of the BtteIs is no less certain than their
preventive effects, and they may be relied
upon to overcome cases of fever and ague
which resist quinlne and the mineral remedies
OF the pharmacopeia. Dyspepsia, constipa-
and general debility likewise rapidly vie d to
their regrlative aud tonic influence. They are
an incslculable blessing 10 the We ak and nerv-
ous of both SEXES, an excellent family medi-
cine, and the bes5 safeguard which the trav-
eler or emigrant can take to an unhealthy

AGRICULTURE.

USING UP OLD TN CANs.-COllect all
the cans you may require, say 100 quart
cans; prepare bright fire IN the kltch-
EN- stove, and have the cans close at
hand. Have a cloth In each hand;
place can on the stove lid, and when
the solder which holds the top or bot
tom TO the body begins to melt, place al
can on the other lid and remove the
first one, and with an old knife, old
file, stove-lifter, or anything at hand'
knock of whichever end you may have
placed next the fire. In most cases IL
will drop of. With the cloth in the
left hand hold a can, and with the right
hand wipe the melted solder from the
inside and outside of the edge quickly
before il sets. Remove the next can
and replace il with another, anu repeat
the operation until both ends OF the lU0
cans are freed from their tops and bot
toms. You now have 100 tubes, 4A
inches long by 4 inches In diameter.
These lU0 tubes can, with but llttle
skill, be converted into 80 feet Inches
Of 4-lnch GrAln-pipe, which, toa farmer
or house owner, would be worth more
than the original cost OF l0U cans filled

forced tightly together they will be
water-tight. A coat of common paint,

WIT AND HUMOR.

ERASMUS relates that certain trave-
lcr in Holland lay so near the fire that
his cloak was scorched. This being
observed by guest, he said to the
sleeper: Here! wake up! want to
tell you something" 10 which the
traveller replied: "If 1t 10 bad news,
put 1t off, for don't wish to hear any
in company when all should be jolly.
Save up the sorrows till after supper" "
When supper was merrily over, he said
10 the other, "NOw, | am ready TO hear
it." He was then showed an immense
hole burned in his cloak, and began to
time.

CULTIvATE MORE TURNIrs.-We all
know the value OF the tuFnip crop to
England. 1t has been asserted that the
interest of their immense debt is an
nually paid by the product Of this crop.
As TO the United States, we do not make
halt the use OF the turDip we might do,
by increasing the consumption OF the
root and improvement In the manner OIL
its cultivation. The great want of our
winter-feed for cattle in succulenoe.
We somewhat obviate this want by
using cut-feed moistened, but as gen.
eral thing hay and oats and corn and
water form The bulk of cattle-fOod.
Carrots, potatoes, rutabages and tur-
nipS are used at times, buC to a very
limited extent to what they might be.
One reason tor this limited use may be
in our old enemy, dear labor. In the
culture of the carrot, for instance, there
is great amount of hand-work. As
soon as the seeds are up, the plants
must be thinned, and after every hoe
narrowing between the rows, hands
must go over again 10 keep the rank
weeds from smothering out the carrot
plants. Carrots are excellent horse
feed; but few OF us have this hand labor
10 spare. 1t is so much easier TO hoe
corn in the hills both ways; though We
know how nice it Is TO have carrots
with corn, corn alone has TO do the
work. There is the same trouble with
the turnip, though in less degree 10
be sure. Every single turnip has to be
handled in pulling, every one has TO be
gone over again and handled to take
The top off, LII we could manage to do
this by machinery, as we do many
other things, so as 10 get rid OF this
hand-labOr business, no doubt the pro-
duction would soon be doubled, and
use he found for an immense number
more than 10 now dreamed OF This
may come in time, for Yankee genius
is equal 10 any adyal cement in this iii
rection.
