AN Iowa SAMPsOS.-JOnas johnson, OF
Big Jonas, is the Goliath of this region, and
some of the stories Of his strength and endu-
rance sound fabulous
About twenty years ago he found a COW in
no uncommon predicament in those days
mired in a slough. a team o. horses plant
ed on firm ground had proved unable to
draw her from the miue, whereupOn Jonas
laying down some boards to give good foot
ing, lifted her bodily out of the swamp, and.
seiZing her by the horns, dragged her to firm
ground. At another time his wagon, loaded
with hay, became mired down, and the
horses failed to eLtTicate il. Jonas got i'm
patient, and, going 10 the rear, he raised the
load and pushed il forward to better ground
making lift which is moderately estimated
at ], 500 pounds, and performed under un-
favorable conditions. He is now a hale
ruddy-faced man Of 5S years. BE was born
in Sweden, was p years old when he came
TO America and has been resident Of this
county for twenty-three years. He stands 8
feet inches in his stockings, and tips the
beam al 245 pounds. A No. j boot covers
his foot and his hand is that Of a giant. -

Blind Bride.

The american Farmer. in speaking
against the use of blind bride, says:
| We know not who invented this in
| strument of horse torture, but we know
he did not understand the anatomy and
physiology of the eye of a horse. Human
vision IS binocular-that is, we see the
same object with both eyes--and so ad-
just the axis of vision that the object
appears single, though seen with both
eyes. But the eyes of the horse are
placed on the side of the head and the
axis OF each eye is nearly at right angles
with the longitudinal line of the body,
! SO that it is impossible that the same OBJ
Ject can be distinctly seen withtwo eyes.
Now, by binding the eye in the direc-
ton IN which it was intended in it's con-
struction that it should see, it is forced to
use an oblique vision, as if we should
cover the front of our optics and be
compelled to see only by the cor
ner of our eyes. This unnatural
and constrained use of the eve
must, to a greater or less extent,
impair vision, if not entirely destroy it.
The object for which the blind bride is
used is not accomplished by it. A horse
is more readily frightened when he can
not see the object of his dread than if he
can have fair view of it. But it is sur
prising to observe with what tenacity
men hold on to an absurd and cruel
practice, when moments reflection
would teach them better. Nineteen out
OF twenty horses you see in harness have
blind brides on, and if you ask the
owner to explain its benefits, or why he
uses it, he will be utterly unable to give
a irrational answer. We are not surprised
that draft horses are subject to diseased
eyes-we wonder that they are not
all blind.

The Lost Locomotive.

There is now being retold the story of
the locomotive which ran through a
broken bridge on the Kansas Pacific
Railway across kiowa Creek, several
years ago, sinking into the mud at the
bottom and has never since been heard
from, though repeated efforts have been
made, by digging and boring, to re-
cover so valuable property. The bot
tom is quicksand, but even quicksands
have limits, and it seems very singular
that the longest boring-rod has failed to
find any trace of the sunkcn engine.
by and by, the silent, mysterious oper-
atoms will drain the quicksands and
harden it into rock, and then long after
the Kansas Pacific road has been for
COTTON and the Kiowa Creek has vanished
from the mud, some future scientist will
discover a curious piece Of mechanism,
undoubtedly the work Of human hands,
lying under SO many hundred feet of
undisturbed sandstone, and will use the
fact as a basis for calculating how many
million years old the human race must
be. Thus history will repeat itself, as
it has often done and will continue to
do.-ErchnnQe.

.HOM~a-W Whale .Rreataes,.

The wind-pipe does not communicate
with the mouth; hole is, as it were,
bored right through the back Of the
head. Engineers would do Vel to
copy the action Of the valve of the
whales bowl hole; a more perfect piece
of structure it is impossible to imagine.
Day and night, asleep or awake, the
whale works his breathing apparatus in
such manner that not drop of water
. ever gets gets down o,I into the lungs Again,
much longer period of time under the
water than seals; this alone might pos
sibly drown him, inasmuch as the lungs
cannot have access to fresh air. We
find that this difficulty has been antici-
pated and obviated by a peculiar reser-
voir in the venous system. which; reser.
voir is situated at the back Of the. lungs.

Fowls for Market,

There is evidently something radical
~ wrong in the methods of raising
fowls, that there should be so great :
scarcity in our markets when the fowls
themselves are so prolific--a hen car
readily lie induced to lay two hundred
eggs a year. That is, reproduce hel
species two hundred times in a twelve
month. and if every egg would hatch in
Thirteen months each Of these two hun
bred eggs should be a living chic ken.
Here are the possibilities of the case,
while the. facts are that few farmer S
wives are able to more than keep up the
numberof their fiocks from yearto year,
allowing a small draft for the family
table, and that dependent almost entire
" upon the cocks that are Matched out
There is something about this chicken
business that has vet to be found out,
and for the sake of our own hankering
after the flesh Of fowls, we hope to live
to see the day when some one will find
out how to raise chickens.
At present, however. the most vital
question is how to prepare the surplus
OF fowls now on the farm for the mar
ket. To meet this demand numbers of
commission merchants are now prepar-
ing pamphlets to impart information as
TO how poultry should be killed, dressed
and packed. Within the short space of
an editorial these matters cannot be
treated with the detail that they should.
and we therefore recommend each farm
er in need of the proper information to
apply tops through the mail, and we
will get the merchants to sendtlem the
proper circulars. This, however, we
can say, that the principal points togov-
ern the farmer in preparing fowls for
the market are: In killing, be sure and
bleed the fowl to death, so the flesh will
look white and not blood stained.
In picking, do. not scald the fowl:
hot water makes the flesh yellow and
tasteless- Lear. to pick dry by giving
the feathers q sharp, quick Jerk; they
can readily be removed without tearing !
the skin, which is Very desirable
Whether the fowls are to be drawn or
not depends upon what market YOU
cater to. Boston and Philadelphia re-
qure fowls drawn: New York does not
want the bird touched after the feathers
are of. s.#
In sending to market better price
is always obtained if the fowls are nice
ly and properly packed. Boxes are bet
ter than barrels for this purpose, as the
birds can thus be laid in straight rows,
and do not look SO badly shaped when
for sale. Do not mix old fowls
with young ones in the box, for this
will only be an excellent excuse for the
buyer to sdetract from the value of YOUR
best offerings. The old birds, like the
small specimens Of fruit should go in
packages by themselves, and leave the
better articles to reap the hig her prices
that they are entitled to.-American
