How BunaIoes Are slaughtered.

IGlendive (M IT, Cor New York SUM-
People living near here were surprised
the other day by hearing a loud tramping,
and through the clouds of dust kicked up
they discovered a herd of buffaloes max
ing at NJ pace for the river. The an
imals appeared to be well-nigh run down,
but many of them were furious. AS they
came to the bank of the Yellowstone they
plunged in peI nell one on top of the other,
and for time it looked as though many
of them would be killed, but nearly all
got out uninjured. They had hardly
reached the other side when a yelling,
swearing crowd of white men and Indians
came up on foam-covered horses. They
paused here long enough to get refresh
ment, ar then resumed the chase.
There Wee 400 or 500 buffaloes in the
herd, and they were making for P-itish
America as fast as their legs would carry
them. From the hunters it was learned
that the hunt began down in Dakota, on
the Cannon Ball river, where not less than
5000 of the animals were found grazing.
A few of the men had followed them the
entire distance, but although the party
that passed here numbered only thirty, its
members estimated that from first to last
300 or 400 men had taken part in the
slaughter. Some of the men who started
out with the original party had remained
behind at various points to secure the
hides and Others, who only joined in for
the sport, had dropped out after satisfying
themselves with the chase. The rapidity
with which these magnificent animals are
slaughtered is shown by the fact that the
hunters passing through here said they
would have the hides of the remnant Of
herd before reaching the boundary line.

ErasIng Cattle Brands.
rGlohe-Damocrak.I


The plan was simple enough. A piecs
of blanket was taken and wrung out after
being dipped in water. A common frying
pan was then heated nearly red hot. The
wet blanket was applied over the brand
and the red.hot pan pressed hard against
it. The steam generated scalded the hair
clean of and the job was done. In few
months the hair grew again and new
brand was put on. The same plan Is
adopted by horse-thieves. Then, again,
the fellows had kind of Granddaughter

AFRAID OF HIS gun.
A BackwOOdsman Makes n Sensa-
ton In a Crowded Depot.

kansas City Start
He got off a train from western Kansas,
with bag in one hand, long rife in the
other, and a agTeeable-looking dog at
his heels. Not one objected when, by a
sudden turn, the long rife would sweep
OF plug hat. The savage1ooking dog
stopped a moment to smell of an elegantly
dressed young mans leg as though in
doubt whether to take bite or not
Come along, Kit; don't have any truck
with tn air tenderfoot, " said the master
with a contemptous look. The tender
foot did not seem bit hurt to think that
Kit" had been forbidden his society. AS
the big back-wOodsman turned to caution
his dog about associating with tenderfeet
there was a scream from a lady who sud-
denly found herself looking down the
muzzle of the big rifle, which was swung
around under her nose. The big man,
who, by the way, was dressed In typical
cowboy style, looked amused when he saw
the cause of the excitement These gol
burned tenderfoots is afraid they will see
shooting-iron, " he said, and walking up
to passenger director he asked; Look
here, stranger can you show me where
they buy the tickets at?
Upon being shown to the ticket Office he
braced up to the window, and the muzzle
of the long gun was the first thing to
ticket-seller, for he carried it under his arm
to avoid any more plug accidents.
BY the time the big fellow got out his
leather wallet the ticket-seller had sue
ceeded in Tegalnipg the window, but out
of range of the rifle, which had bore as
big as a shotgun. While buying his
ticket he was not crowded or elbowed, al
though there were twenty people waiting
their turn. Instead of sitting down on a
seat he threw his bag full of some lumpy
substance down in corner at the main en-
trance, and whipping out a knife with an
eightinch blade he began fixing something
about the lock of his gun. This necessi-
tated sweeping the muzzle about from
| side to side, and it was amusing to witness
the fright of ladies and gentlemen alike as
they passed through the door, as though
| they were under fire. The big fellow had
on wide brim straw hat and wore mix
| ture of buckskin and canvas clothing.
Everyone breathed easier when he boarded
his train, which took him into Missouri to
visit brother.

On with the Dance.
Huntington Hawkeye.l


During the recent festival the Shoshone
Indians occupied three days and nights in
dancing. All savages and some civilized
people waste great deal of time in dane
Ing. It will be observed that as we de-
scend in the social and intellectual scale
the rage for dancing increases. In the
lowest grade of civilized society, the
"dance house" is almost the sole resort Of
merry makers, and dancing and fighting
are the only amusements of the jewellers Id
the slums. As rule, ball without q
fight is as great rarity as a picnic with
out pie. Among the savages dancing is
a universal and natural art; every barbarian
knows how to dance, without any instruc-
ton We have some other things t o say
about dancing, meaner and hatefuller than
anything in this paragraph, but we are
helding them In reserve to fire at some in
dignant man with brains in his heels who
will be indiscreet enough to reply to this
pleasant and interesting statement of fact.

The National Agricultural Report.

The report Of the agricultural depart
ment for 1884 (kindly sent us by Sena-
tor MorrilD is remarkable for two things.
One is that it shows how even con-
ceited chap like Commissioner Loring
can be taught something by sufficient
kicking. Beginning by denouncing the
study of the sorghum sugar question
as cd nonsense" and turning out
the chemist of the department for diff
fering with him on this matter, the
commissioner has in this report given
more space to the subject than was ever
allowed to Professor Collier, and recon-
mends larger appropriations to con-
tinue the investigation than Collier ever
asked for. The Great West beat that
into his head, as it has replaced him
now with the strongest sorghum man in
the country, Colonel Colman, the new
commissioner. Loring would not allow
the new chemist to mention Collier by
name, but he has had to refer to Golfers
work repeatedly, in order to avoid ex-
posing himself to utter contempt for his
subserviency.
Another thing is, that after heaping
ridicule upon his predecessor, LeDuc,
for trying to naturalize the tea plant
in this country, now he says it is " no
longer matter of dispute or surmise
whether tea plants can be grown over
a large portion of the United States, but
whether the manufacture of tea can be
profitably carried on here is still ques-
ton" The one glory to which Loring
is entitled is for bringing up the reports
of the department to time, and he
achieved this, just as easy" by simply
issuing no report for 1881, and label
ling the back of his next report, "1SS1
and 1882" In this he deity shows
how even the great Christopher could be
surpassed by Massachusetts, Yankee.

THE Patrons Rural calls upon us Gas
we are told, for the paper is not sent to
us) to show in what respect the rail-
roads and college run the grange. We
have not made any such charge, and
hope it is not now true. We said that
such was the report, and we will give
it little more definiteness, to please
the Rural, limiting ourself to one or
two phases of a somewhat large sub
ject. In 1878 a member of the state
grange introduced resolution at Mont
pelier, suggesting that the subject of
the agricultural college work be laid
before the subordinate oranges, to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of proceeding
against the college for malfeasance, I'M
der Judge Poland's bill. The state
grange refused to receive the resolu-
ton, the opposition being led by G. w.
Whitney of Williston, friend of the
university. To our own knowledge,
fruitless attempts have been made in
past years to nave action taken IN re-
gard to the eXhorbitant charges on small
shipments of farmers produce over our
railroads, but every such attempt
brought up men whose zeal had a
strong look of railroad relationship
about it, and they carried the day. 1t
was such things as this that weakened
our interest in the grange as means
of promoting and protecting agricul-
tural interests, and it has had the same
effect upon others. Things may be
different now, but, as we said, we see
no evidence of it. Can the Rural
offer any? We are aware of Colonel
Franklin's efforts for a railway COM
mission, but how much help did the
grange give him?

torily to any scholar, author'or scientist
! cannot detail the experiments here,
as my paper would be too lengthy. The
question may then be asked: IF the
sap comes down, then why will not the
cutoff tree discharge sap? ! answer
The laws which govern sap-how are in
terfered with so that it cannot flow. A
tree that is severed from the stump
soon warns up the entire length, the
temperature becoming uniform, and no
sugar-tree will discharge sap in this
condition. There are acres of the
most beautiful naples in Nova Scotia
and Michigan from which no sap can
be obtained. The temperature is too
uniform, which is the case with lands
near large bodies of water (too little
SUM. Each end of the tree must be in
opposite temperatures for sap. / am
inclined to think that though tree
may be severed from the stump, yet it
will discharge sap the same, provided
the lower end of the tree is kept
packed with ice, so as to retain and
hold the temperature it obtained from
the frozen ground. In this condition
the tree becomes a condenser, so that
it will be in pressure during a sap day,
and in suction through the night, pro-
vided it is frosty or freezing night.
A thinking and reasoning man will not
need to be told that maple trees are in
pressure in good sap day, though he
may not see clearly the laws which gov
ern it. l would say here that if any
one wishes to ask me any further ques-
tions privately Enclosing a stamp inre-
lation to anything connected with the
maple tree, l shall be pleased to COM
municate dd hbitunl.

let them "perish in heirfolly." There
is no need of their being so ignorant,
and losing their money in such an alb
surd way. If they would take one re-
spectacle agricultural paper and read
it, they would know all about this tree
peddler business. If they would take
the trouble to visit successful growers
they could find out about the best fruits,
where to get them, and what they ought
to cost. When they won't do these
things it is nonsense to waste any SYM
pathy on them.

maple--a view that, as yet, / am com
PEELED to hold. l have many facts that
point in no other direction. / will first
correct one common mistake the ques-
toner has fallen into, and then it will
be an easy task to answer the question.
| have yet to be convinced Gf at all)
that a freshly-cut rock maple stump
will discharge large quantities of sap.
The stump will be wet long time,
even till into June, as the sap dries up
there last at the center. Let any one
hollow out the top of the stump, BASIN
like, then tap through the lower part of
the rim, and see how much sap he will
get. On this point, I partially rest on
the statements of Professor w. S.
Clark, former president of the agricul-
tural college at Amherst, Mass. He
holds this view-that but little sap
comes from rock maple stump. Some
years ago / received letter from a
gentleman who had occasion to cut
down one of his shade trees. He drew
the body, top and all, into his back
yard, leaving the butt the lowest, so
that he could put pan under it so as
to catch the sap, but no sap could be
obtained. But he says: "What about
the stump? I dug it out, tapped it at
the bottom of the rim and caught large
quantities of sap" 1 communicated
this fact to Professor Clark, who wrote
Immediately back that the tree could
not have been rock maple. AT that
early date 1 only took the professors
word for the fact. Since then / have
experimental with the rock maple
much, and suffice it to say that all my
experiments bearing on this point point
in one direction. Sap in the spring
comes dorm as body-the greater
part. This can demonstrate satisfac-
