were begun in the Eastern, Western ano
Middle districts of Tennessee in January
1879, and were heard IN May 1880, by Hon.
L. L. Whitney, district judge at Nashville,
Tenn. The suits were brought by the bond
holders for the purpose of enforcing lieL
on the railroads contained in the &C. OF the
General Assembly of Tennessee, February
IL, 1852, known as the internal improve
menr La w." Uuder this internal improve

bonds of the State of Tennessee were Is
sued by the State to railroad companies,
and about 81, 600 900 are now outstanding
in the hands of the holders all over the

their lien for the payment Of the bonds as
set forth in the internal improvement act,
was for the benefit of the bondholders, and
that the bonds should be declared by the
court to be q first lien on the railroads to
which the bonds were issued. The conten.
ton of the railroad companies, on the 9th
er hand. is that the lien was for the benefit
of the State only. The decision OF Judge
Whitney was adverse to the bonCholders,
and from that decision they appealed to
this court in 1881. In view OF the import

How to Measure Hay.

Hay in the stack may be measured,
an agricultural paper says, by the fol-
lowing process: For timothy, square
the diameter, multiply by eight, and
that product by the helgh; eff the stack,
reckoning up to one third Of the distance
from where it begin, to taper of TO the
top or apex; cut off the right hand hg-
ures and divide by seventy.tiva, the re-.
suit will be in tons. Should there be a
remainder, multiply by 1000 and di-
vide by seventy. i've, the quotient will
be pounds. For clover hay, square the
diameter, multiply by the height of the
stack, as for timothy, and that product
by seven, cut off three right hand hg-
ures, and all on the left will be tons;
then multiply the figures upon the right
by 1000, cut of three from the right,
and all on the left will be pounds.

Practical Views Of Pedigree.

Our farmers, Ianchmen, and stock &.
raisers generally are lakins more prsc.
teal, common sense view Of the value
OF pedisrees in breeding than formerly.
The time was when pedigrees were
scarcely thought OF by the average
farmer. He purchased bull or boar,
or bred to a stallion, simply because he
liked his looks. 1t never occurred to
him to look into the ANIMALS lineage,
to inquire whether the qualities he ad-
mired had been inherited or were acci.
dental. He did not seem to give a
thought TO the great fact that accident
al excellence was rarely transmitted;
and that TO make the transmission Of
good qualities reasonably certain it was
necessary that the desired qualities
must have been characteristic OF the
ancestry.
1t is gratifying to know that by me ans
Of more general dissemination Of a
knowledge OF the true principles Of
breeding, and better understanding of
the laws which govern the transmission
Of hereditary qualities from parent TO
offspring, people are settling down up
on the true principles Of breeding.
They are learning The value of good
pedigree, as we'll as what constitutes a
good pedigree.
All stock that bears the name Of a
favoriIe breed or family, and has herd.
book number, is not ut TO breed from.
The intelligent, careful breeder knows
how to select good animal with good
pedigree, and thus secures a good rep
resentative OF a good breed. II per-
son desires to get improved stock it will
pay him largely in the end to send TO
thoroughly reliable breeder, who will
give him something that, in his judg.
ment, will prove, in the long run, prot
table and satisfactory.

sand 8Brings-

A great many Of our readers have,
we suppose, heard Of Sand Spring,
while Others have probably been there
without even suspeqling that they were
near one of the most wonderful curioss.
ties to be found 90 the face Of The
globe. -t
Sand Springs is in Churchill county,
about seventy.6ve miles northeast from
Dayton and about twenty miles beyond
the Sink Of the Carson river.
A great deal Of salt was hauled from
there in early days 10 the mills on the
Comslock, but the advent of railroads
and cheaper method Of iransportion
destroyed the business. The name OF
"Sand Springs" would naturally lead
one to the conclusion that springs Of
wafer are to be found there. Such,
however, is not the case. Sand Springs
is a small mountain Of white sand
thrown up and kept'in tact by one OF
those peculiar internal commissions OF
the earth that continues to puzzle men
of science. The .'spring" is shaped
somewhat like funnel and is contlnu-
ally changing from one side Of the
mountain to the other as the sand is
thrown or blown out Of it. A person
standing at the old stage station can
plainly sec the sand as it is thrown up,
and hear a rumbling noise like that
made by a heavy wind. Sheriff Ran
dali while looking for some horse thieves
three or four months ago, visited the
place and was only convinced after &C
tual observation that there could be
such thing as spring of dry sand
running O ut of the earth.
Mr.. Whiting, who owns a stock range
near this wonderful mountain, states
that an Indian cannot be hired 10 GO
near it. The Piutes say that many year,
ago, before the white man came to this
country, a young brave, getting too
near the spring, disappeared in its
depths and was never found; since then
no Indian can be hired to go near the
place.
