Origin of the baldwin Apple.

Deacon Samuel Thompson, of Wo-
burn, who was born In 1921, was fitted
for Harvard College; Blu: his father,
diving when he was eighteen years of
age, leaving a widow and young
family dependent Oh her, Samuel was
obliged to assume fhe care ofthe family,
and was taxed to the utmost to per
form the duties devolving upon him.
He early gave his attention to survey
ing, and in the year 1860, after serving
in the French and Indian War, he was
surveying in Buffers Row, at Whining
ton, Mass. While there he noticed
some excellent fruit on An old apple
tree, inhabited by a family of wood
peckers. He gathered specimens of
the fruit. ard, finding 1t very palatable,
took some nome, where they were
much liked. He secured scions
and set them, giving some to MS
brother Abijah, In a few years the
tree bore and the fame of the fruit
filed the neighborhood; it being then
known as the "Pecker" apple, Colonel
Baldwin, nelghbor OF Deabon Samule

Quite an excitement IN our village

Wilson House, there turned their
course down Broadway and finding
Mrs. Barnhart's lot gate ajar, the fran

as they went, next over the mail-car-
rier's sleigh. rendering it useless. Find
ing themselves hemmed in, they were
easily caught and quiet soon pre-
vailed.
All the cases of western fever in this
immediate vicinity are convalescent,
except two sons of VIM Newton Of the

hopeless. They will soon depart for
the land Of promise.

Early "Cattie DriYaS.n

The earliest history that we are ena-
bied to obtain concerning the Texas cat
tie drive dates back to 1857, when
about &c, 900 head of cattle, horses and
mules were driven to Missouri, pass
ing through Kansas City, Mo-, and
crossing the river at what is known as
Randolph Ferry, three miles below the
town. in the month of June of that
year. The drive, though not very
successful for the first year Or two. f.
nally increased and became more
promising. The business was contin-
ued and large numbers Of stock were
added to each annual drive from that
time up to 1S6I-the breaking out of
the WARWICK stopped this rapidly
growing trade. After the close of the
war-or 1866-the drive North again
commenced aid it is generally sup
posed that at least 200, 900 head pass
ed from Texas through the Indian
Territory, destined for points in South
western Missouri.

the market, and of course GET a right

away they run to the first editor they

next issue of this paper the SAID editor
gives a wonderful account OF how Far
mer So-and.so is getting rich raising

which Joe Anderson's father sold for
S26.6s each cost the said oe Ander-
sons father over $50 per head in corn
and grass. There have been hundreds
of hogs marketed within the last three
months that, although they were sold
at high price, yet the corn required
to feed them would have brought more
money had it been marketed al the
same time the hogs were sold, and for
these reasons we conclude that even if
farmer sells heavy hogs at a high
price it is not conclusive evidence that
he makes money thereby. Take the
figures of the Chicago Fat Stock Show
and you will soon see that there is no
money in feeding stock until they at
tain such extra heavy weights but
when we hear OF farmer selling hogs
at SIX and seven months old that
weighs from 225 to $50 pounds each
we think we can figure out a little profit
in hog raising, or when we hear OF a
farmer selling hogs at from eight to
nine months old that averas es from
500 to $50 pounds each, we conclude
there is some money in them; and fur
Their it is proof positive that such far
mers are good feeders, and that they
keep the best breed of hcg5 and I'M

4 Patent Adjustable Dogs Tai.

An application, purporting to be
signed Col. Maurice Pinchover, has
been sent to the United States Patent
Office tor patent for an adjustable
dogs tail. The application claims
that all dogs, who, either by nature or
accident, are minus a tail, encounter
great difficulties in turning sharp cor
ners, as their center of gravity is
thrown too near the fore legs and they
consequently have to go slow or lose
their balance. The proposed tail can
be fastened to the stump and, as
the dog turns to the right, the tail will
tend to throw his rear to the left, thus
enabling him to turn easily rapidly
without losing his equilibrium.

are Heavy Hogs Profitable.

This question is asked by tie .Saoine

discuss the matter 1t says: 1.-The

answered by referring to some person

very highest market price. Just as
though it cost no more to raise 400
or 500 pound hog than it does to raise
one Weighing 200, when at the same
time it is a wcll-established fact that it
costs nearly if not quite double per
pound to raise a hog weighing 500
than il does to raise one that only
49,, weighs, 200 pounds. Now it takes very
90 gordeeding, ordinarily, toimake ten
