The greatest flow Of natural gas known
to the world was struck in Wellsburg,
West Virginia, twelve miles north Of
Wheeling, this morning at depth of
1885 feet. The reservoir was tapped
and the fluid rushed out with such force
as to throw the heavy tools high in the
air and demolish the derrick. Up to
thistime all efforts to cap the tub and
control the gas have been futile. A light
has been applied and the glare on the sky
is visible thirty miles away. In quantity
this well is estimated to be half greater
than the famous McGagir wen, making
it The largest in the world. Nearly ST.
900, 900 have been spent in the vicinity
boring for gas, but Wellsburg alone has
been successful, having now three wells
in operation, lighting and heating the
town, melting iron and glass and entirely
superseding all other fuels. This last
well will be piped to Wheeling and sup.
ply the numerous mills, furnaces and
glass houses here. A fabulous price for
the we'll has been offered from Pittsburu
and refused. The town and surrounding
country are wild with enthusiasm.

A singular freak OF nature has just
beeu made known short distance from
Alliance, Ohio. The parents of the
child which has been stamped by Dame
Nature as one of her whimsicalities are
disinclined to publicity, but the story
has got abroad and the neighbors are
locking to see the wonder. A child was
born whose right hand is entirely trans
parent, differing entirely from the left
hand, about which there is nothing abb
normal. Through the pellucid skin is
seen the veins and muscles, which seem
in combination to form the word "Star.'.
The parents do not know how to account
for it, but the old wives Of the place have
learned theories OF the cause of the con-
genital popularity. Medical men are
taking great interest in the transparency.
But those who have seen the infant de-
clare the appearance of word depends
very largely upon the imagination.

A sale Of Jersey cattle was held in
New York recently, at which five head
sold at prices ranging from $1,000 to
$500. Such sale certainly proves
the value of,this breed, and is sufficient
to attract the attention of farmers and
dairymen. The size of the animal pre-.
eludes the idea that it is valuable for
butchering purposes, neither does it give
as large a quantity of milk as do many
other thoroughbred and graded cattle.
The value OF the Jersey lies in the rich
ness of its milk and its special adapta-
bility for butter making purposes.

The Draft Horses of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, it is fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Pereherons are the most highly priced
of all French races, and all depart.
ments of France go to the Perche for
stations to improve their local breeds
The Percheron Stud Book of France
is published under the authority of
the French government and admits
only animals of pure Percheron origin
and birth, established by their pedi-
grees and the pedigrees of their an.
.cestors for generations. The fact that
no recorded pedigrees can be furnish
ed with any of the more common
breeds of France, explains the eager
ness of many importers in insisting
that all horses imported from France
are alike, and that pedigrees are use.
less.
1t is well known fact that what
man gives for a horse over from $500
to S8U0-the price of good grade-is
paid for purity of blood and where
the seller is not able to give the re-
corded pedigree of the animal sold as
evidence of additional value, he has
no right to ask it. With these facts
before him no intelligent man will
buy a horse imported from France
unless he is recorded with his pe digree
in full in the Stud Book in France,
and the importer furnishes with his
bill of sale the French certificate of
registration, as this is his oaly guaran-
tee of safety, large number of horses
of unknown blood being imported to
this country and sold as pure bred.

Begin to cnurn slowly, so that the

and grained, cool the whole mass
down to SIS degrees, to keep the butter
from gathering, and then finish the
churnlng.
When the buttcrmilk is well devel-
oped, and the butter about the size of
barley seeds, draw off the buttermilk
through a two quart dipper with q
perforated tin bottom, so that all the
small particles of butter may be saved
then add just enough cold brine TO
Hood the butter, which will cool,
harden, and cleanse it better than clear
water. Let it remain Is minutes or
more, then repeat with either brine or
cold water. Take.it from the churn
with a wooden ladle, and salt in lay
ers, at the rate of three fourths of an
ounce of fine salt to the pound. Let
the butter stand half an hour, and take
salt; then cut and work it over with
a wooden ladle, as the mason does
brick mortar. Let it stand in a cool
place in summer till the next mora
ing; but in winter three or four hours
in room heated to "a degrees will do,
after which put it on butter worker,
and press the butter. together until all
the remaining buttermilk and brine
are extracted, sponging what will not
run off voluntarily.
When the milk has been handled
as above directed, it will be firm, dry
and clean from all substances causing
decay or rancidity, and ready to lump
for market. But if it is to be packed,
place the butter on the worker, and
add about one-fourth of an ounce of
fine sifted salt to the pound, work il
in little, and pack solid in we'll
prepared package. Cover the top with
a clean cloth, and make paste with
salt, small quantity of granulated
sugar, and teaspooAful of powdered
saltpeter, and spread over the cloth as
soon as packed. Set the package in a
cool, dry place, and when it is to be
marketed, remove the paste and sub
stitute cloth covered with dry salt.
Butter made as described will break
off short, and show beautiful grain,
instead of being waxy, as good butter
is often described. But waxy butter
that will break off short, and look
like broken cast iron, has marked
keeping qualities. Butter can be
worked until it has ne more grain than
lard, and be completely spoiled, and
yet have fine waxy appearance.

Rules for Winter.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet. La gong to a colder air keep
the mouth resolutely closed, that by
compelling the air to pass circuitous-
ly through the nose it may become
warmed before it reaches the lungs,
and thus prevent those shocks and
sudden chills which frequently end
in pleurisy, pneumonia, and osner
serious forms of disease.
Never sleep with the head in the
draft of an open window. Let more
covering be on the lower limbs than
on the body. Have an extra covering
within easy reach in case of sudden
and great change of weather during
the night Never stand still a mo-
ment out of doors, especially at street
corners, after having walked even a
short distance. Never ride near an
open window of vehicle for single
half minute, especially if it has
been preceded by walk; valuable
lives have thus been lost, or good
health permanently destroyed. Never
put on new boots or shoes in the be-
ginning of walk
