How the buckeye Down-Binder
Cnl MhanI YaNinrdnY.

Ont Wnent Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Buckeye
Down Binder was put in field of
wheaton Mr.. l.. II. Daughtry's farm,
south of the city, which was badly
blown down and tangled, and the
work IL did was really above Tho ex-
pectation of the gentlemen who rep
resent the machine and the farmers
who were present TO SEQ the test. Tho
ground was very damp, and In some
places the mud was several inches
deep, 80 tho machine worked under
great disadvantages. Il has been said
by many farneis that wheat cannot
be cut when it has been blown down
aud tangled but the little gem, Buck
eye, went down underneath the straw
as it lay In matted heap, took II up
and threw the golden grain out in
well-bound sheavcs.s The length cut
was five and half feet aud the stalks
were taken Off clean, few inches
above the ground. On reasonably dry
ground, the Buckeye can harvest OIL
the wheat which has been blown
down by last weeks storm aud the
loss win be small per cent. In fields
where II was thought very little
wheat and oats would be saved.

NEW Iberia, La, July 25.-To-day the
Mayor tried the experiment Of destroying
a carcass by burning with Oil. The car
cass was that OF a medium-sized horse,
which died last night with blind staggers.
The carcass was taken out to the COM
mons, and an autopsy was held. All the
organs OF the body were found TO be in q
normal condition. In the cavity OF the
brain a quantity Of a yellowish fluid was
found. The brain itself showed decided
signs OF congestion.
The carcass was then placed upon some
lightwOOd and about two gallons Of coal
oil was poured over a. and into 10. The
torch was then applied. The oil was soon
consumed, leaving the flesh barely
scorched. Two gallons more Of OIL were
then used, resulting IN complete failure.
II is thought that nothing less than forty
gallons of OIL would Do required 70 ac-
eomplish the desired object. The animal
was In good order. After this experiment
the animal was buried.
ono OF the men engaged yesterday IN
burning carcasses on the prairies says
that when they are partly dec0mpose
they burn very readily lie destroyed
eleven, reducing an the flesh 10 cindore,
and only used three gallons oi oil "a the
carcass, in aomo cases less. Tho idea OF
burning VIII be- abandoned. a strange
and notable fact Is the disappearance vi

People generally, and even those wao may

country has attained From a careful eX-
animation of the advance pages Of the 1885
edition OF the American News paper Direct
oyy, issued May Ist, BY George p. BDwelI &

Il, l47 newspapers and periodicals published

the United states has u g73. aH average OF
one paper tor every 3 S67 persons. Ia 1884
the Total number Of newspapers was less
by S23 than at present, aud while the gain ia
this year is rot SO marked as il some preYi-
Ous years, II is still considerable. Kansas
shows The greatest Increase. the number be-
ing rs, while Illinois follows with p gain OF
II. Ii Is curious tu notice that New York,
the scene Of so much political activity dur
ing the last campaign, should have only
about oue-shITd as many new papers As the
State Of Pennsylvania. As an index TO the
comparative growth and prosperity OF dit
fuTent sections OF the country, especially the
Territories, the number OF new papers forms
an interesting study, and may we'll occupy
tie attention Of the curious.
