liams, who resides near Augusta,
brought us some well los ded twigs

tanned eleven well developed peaches,
four cS them being in cluster. An

marvellous. Mr.. W. will have fine

Burlingamc Chronicle: There is a
good deal of spurious bui ter being
sold at present Burlingame consum-
ers are getting their share OF it. That
spurious butter is not only filthy but
decidedly unwholesome. the can be no

grocerymen hero will stop dealing in
this nasty stuff. MANY at the states
have passed laws prohibiting its man
ufacture. There ought to he such a
law in every state Oleomargarine,

grease.
The Nationalist. of Manhait tan, states
that Mr.. Jos. kinble has "A herd of
cattle afflicted in ~ singular manner.
When taken witn the Illness they be-
come wild and will rush on a man
aioot or horseback The disease made
its appearance IN the herd several
weeks age, before pasturing COM
mencca,. and several died. Mr.. KIM
bic thought it probable that when put
upon greeH feet the disease would
disappear, but it docs not. The cattle
continue To die, and, as with backlog,
the best in the ferd are the victims.
Ten have died and two are now sick.
We take the following from the
Register, of Alien county: Three or
for weeks ago we reported the result
of q seven days test OF n Jersey COW
owned by Mr.. III, f. Travis, showing
that the cow yielded 10 3.S pounds
daily. This was considered a very re-
markable yield, but Mr.. Travis will
have to come again" AS Mr.. j. Baker,
living near LaHarpe. lays it all over
his Jersey with a little two-year-old
scrub. Mr.. Bakers COW is two wears
old, had her first calf about two
months ago. is smaller than the ordin-
airy Jersey COW, and has no pedigree,
yet in seven days. with no feed but
prairie grass, she yielded l4S ga
pounds of milk, or a daily average of
p Ia pounds. Who will he the next
