A New Steam Fire Engine.

1t will be the source Of much
qualification to our many readers
to learn that the city council has
purchased q steam fire engine.
For long time our city has been
without scarcely any protection
from the fiery flames which might
at ally time have sprung up and
destroyed the whole town while
the citizens could but stand idly
by and see their property swept
away. That our town has long
been sadly in need of better fire
protection none can gainsay. The
recent fires clearly demonstrate
that, and no ore can bet think
he city authorities hay. acted
wisely.
The engine purchased is manu-
factured by the Silsby Company,
Of Seneca Falls, N. Y. 1t is No.
), weighing between $500 and
1000 pounds, and will throw 400
gallons Of water per minute. The
cost of the engine, with reel and
500 feet Of hose, is $500 less
ten per cent. The payments are
t. be made in three installme is,
as follows: One-third the first Of
December, 1885; one-third the
first of January, 1887 and one
third the first Of January, 1858.
The engine will throw water
$50 feet FROM the nozzle of the
hose, and with the 600 feet Of hose
water can be carried a distance Of
$50 feet. The engine has all Of
the late improvements, and will be
aere in about thirty days.
The council will at once pro-
ceod to have dug three cisterns,
one to be located near the arte-
sian we'll and the others at places
yet to be selected. The piping
in the artesian we'll will also be
sunk as deep as possible and the
rubbish cleared away. Verify,

A aodel Farm.

Last Friday afternoon il was
the pleasure of the editor of the
journal. to accompany the ur-
bane and gentlemanly DIR. r.. G..
Jones to his farm, situated about
two miles from Dawson. The
Doctor iarms scientifically and,
consequently, successfully. He
prepares his ground thoroughly
and puts it in an excellent condi-
ton to receive the seeds. All of
the corn stalks of the last years
crop are piled and burned and q
field Of one hundred or more
acres locks almost as clean and as
clear of trash as a front yard in
the most fashionable part Of the
city. During the last three years
the Doctor has had removed from
his fields $4,000 stumps, and we
saw one field of over q hundred
acres in which there was not
single stump to be found. In one
field he will plant 20 acres in cot
ton from which he is confident of
realizing % blles. HA planted
the same ground in corn last year
and made 30 bushels to the acre
by actual measarment. For both
corn and cotton he makes bis
drills four feet apart. He has
one hundred ana five acres in oats.
The stand could not b. better and
the oats are beautiful.
The Doctor is experimenting
with the LeConte pear. He has
25 trees planted from which he
has taken 70 cuttings.
Doctor Jones understands sex

old mother earth US we'll as teeth

as successful at one as he is the
other.
