TAYLOR HAMILTON SAYS
The Decring All-Stecl Binder is a
Grand Success.

July 30th, 1887.
+. l.. Benepc, Bozeman, Mont.
DEAR SIR'-Iour Mr.. +. II. Harris has
been here and set up and started the
Deering Binder l bought of you, and
think the Binder grand success. That
it is the lightest draft of any Binder in the
market, or at least in use in our part of
the valley. One great feature and very
favorable to the Binder is it has no side
draft, drawing perfectly well balanced.

CATAHOULA'S WILD GIRL.
Two Badly Frightened Citizens Give
a Description of Her.

One day last week two strangers
passed through Trinity on foot, having
travelled from Alexandria. They gave a
thrilling account of meeting held with
the wild girl of Catahoula, near Kemp's
creek. They say she is one of the most
ferocious- looking beings that the hu-
man eve was ever cast upon. They
stopped to ask her few questions, but
could not get nearer to her than fifty
feet. She is as fleet as deer, and at
one leap she cleared a root seven feet
high. She uses no language, only glib
berish.
Her arms are long, brawny and mus
cular. She appears to be about 10 years
of age and has kind of limp when
walking. They could not get near en-
ough to distinguish whether she had
deformed foot. She had an old knife,
which they say was about eight inches
long, which she no doubt uses dexter
eusly. She is in height about feet
inches, and would weigh about 125 or
14O pounds, with no surplus flesh.
These gentlemen say that in that neigh
borhood they gave the information, and
that no one seems to know anything
about the girl.
The men say they would not sleep in
the woods near where they saw the girl
for all that was in the parish They
think she can conquer any three men in
the neighborhood. She has immense
eyes, and her hair hangs to her waist
and is of q beautiful brown. A great
many who have heretofore doubted the
existence of this girl are now con-
vinced that it is truth, the information
coming, as it did, from two men who had
never been in the parish before.
A committee If fifteen men, with provis-
ions for two weeks, will be organized,
and steps will bo taken soon to capture
her r-IriRity (La.) Herald.

COrnered the Conductor.

In town in the Mohawk Valley lives
q man who may be called, for the time
being, John Smith. Smith stands about
six feet two in his thinnest stockings.
In the good old days, when a ticket
from Chicago to New York-or any
where else-was ''good only for contin-
uous trip on day and date" Smith and
his wife left the wicked Western city
one day for the metropolis.
At Lockport they stopped over night,
and the next day started on again with
two young ladies, acquaintan who
purchased tickets for Palatine Bridge.
When the conductor came along to
punch the tickets he pronounced the
Chicago tickets worthless-stampeda and
pay his fare he said. John expostulated,
but in vain; lie must pay two fares or
leave the train. The conductor agreed
to make up the rest of his train load, ,and
come back, while Smith thought it over.
When he returned Smith still looked
dubious. He held up the four tickets
two to New York, two to Palaline-in
his hand, and said, slowly, "Now you
say these two to Palatine are good!"
eyes"
"And these two, from Chicago to New
York, are not goodl"
''Not worth the paper they're printed
on, no sir
Then the conductor began 10 grow
impatient, and continued, sharply:
"Well, sir, you must hurry up. Pay
your fares, or I'll put you OFF,
Smith held up the tickets again aud
said, with exasperating deliberation:
"Well, here are four tickets and four
people. Who are you going to put Off"
The conductor looked at Smith mo-
ment, bit his lip, punched the four tick
cts and left the car.-Abany Journal.

Artesian Wells in SOnOma.

A few weeks ago, according to the
Weekly Bulletin, "a fine flow of excellent
water was struck at depth of ninety
feet, on lot little to the east of the
town of Sonoma, belonging to Mr.. Gil
bert. The next attempt was made at
Mr.. Wrinkles vineyard, when at a depth
of eighty-two feet a flow of 10000 gal
Ions per day was obtained. The tools
were then moved about $50 feet south to
the lands of j. Gundlach, where still
greater success was met with. At a
depth of one hundred and ten feet n flow
of 100, 900 gallons per day was reached.
Both these wells are located in the cot
hills, considerably above the level of the
valley and supposedly in very unlikely
place to find such result. The tools
penetrated successive layers of sand,
rock, and clay, the water being found
below the latter. The water comes out
with considerable force, and will o. er-
flow pipe twenty feet above the sur
face. The fortunate owners of these
wells consider them worth not less than
$4,000 apiece. The temperature of the
water is constantly 72 deg. f., and what
is remarkable is that it is exactly the
same as that of several springs on the
other side of the valley, four or five
miles away. Many of the farmers and
fruit growers of the valley are arrang-
ing to put down wells"

THE PIG.
Result of Experiments on Pig Feed
ing in Illinois.

In his experiments in pig feeding,
Professor L. F. Hunt, of the Illinois
College farm concludes as follows:
1t required 1880 pounds of skim-milk
to produce one pound of pork when fed
with corn meal in ratio liz to fatten
hogs.
Skim-milk could not be economically
fed to fatten hogs unless it was waste
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
1t required on an average 4. II pounds
or .074 bushels of shelled corn to pro-
duce one pound of pork during an aver
age period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced 1876 pounds.
1t required 4.37 pounds of corn meal
to produce one pound of pork, or one
bushel of corn made into meal and fed
dry produced 1913 pounds of pork.
When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to
fatten hogs.
1t required 735 pounds, or % bushels
of ground oats to produce one pound
of pork, when fed with equal parts, by
weight, of corn meal.
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
Corn-fed pigs gained about 4.5pounds
per week and ate about q pounds of
corn per 100 pounds live weight.
The gain for the amount of food con-
sumed decreased during fattening.
Pork was produced during cold wea-
ther, with corn at 2S cents per bushel,
for less than three cents per pound.
An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
We believe Indian corn to be the most
economical pork producing material du-
ring winter months il regions where ex-
tensively grown.

A New Comet.

Mr.. W.-R. Brooke, of Geneva, has
announced the discovery of comet.
1t was in the northwest ut evening, and
only about 30' from the sun, so it does
not remain long above the horizon after
sunset. For this reason very few observa-
tions have been secured. At the Dudley
Observatory the new comet has been
observed ON three nights-Aug. 10, IA
and Is. The comet is quite faint. Prof.
Boss calculated an orbit for the stranger,
and the result was telegraphed by code
message to the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, now in
session at Cleveland, and to the Earl of
Crawford and to the Astronomical Iutelli-
gence Bureau in Berlin, Germany. Tho
new comet will not be an interesting
object in the popular sense, 1t is slowly
approaching the earth, but receding
from the sun. 1t is now in the lower
part of the constellation Great Bear, and
is moving toward Leo. 1t is at present
142, 100000 miles from the earth. On
the 25th inst. it WILL be 100000 miles
nearer. Then 1t will recede i'll an accel-
Grated ratio, and will probably be lost
to view about the middle of September.
The path of this comet is not similar to
that of any recorded comet. In all
probability it will not again return 10
tue earth in thousands of years, if at all.

The New Cast Iron Guns.

At the ordnance foundry of the South
Boston Iron Works q large force OF
workmen is at present engaged in COM
pleting the third and last in the series
of the three 10 in. cast iron rifed guns
with steel tube and steel hoops. The
work of putting in the steel tube, which
is inserted at the rear of the barrel, ex-
tending through from the breech, has
just been completed, after three trials,
to insure getting perfectly tight joint
at the shoulder or casing of the gun.
The gun was placed horizontally over a
longitudinal pit, and was then covered
in with boiler and sheet iron. A fire
was built under it, extending from the
breech OF the gun to point in front of
the trunnions. The body of the gun
was expanded by the heat, and the steel
tube was inserted from the rear. A stream
OF cold water was kept circulating
through the bore of the tube, to keep it
cool. during the whole operation, which
lasted about twenty-one hours. The
gun was then cooled down at the breech
to make it grip the tube, SO that in con-
tracing the front end of the tube was
brought to tight joint against the for
ward shoulders in the casing or body of
the gun. An ingenious arrangement of
bolts and screws, together with 100
ton jack, was used in inserting the tube
and holding it in place until the cooling
was completed. The gun will be trans
ferred to the lathe in few days to be
finished, bored and rifed, and will be
delivered to the government early in the
fall.

It is singular that just as Saratoga
looses the Vanderbilts she gains Gould.
"The old Commodore" as the elder
Vanderbilt is always called, and "Wil-
liam H.. as the late President of the
New York Central is invariably referred
to, appeared at Saratoga as regularly as
the season came round. Their heirs
have cut the Springs, and spend the
summer at Newport and other resorts.
"The old Commodore" was q great
man to sit on the veranda and talk with
anybody and everybody. An old-timer
says he once sat in group which in
cluded ''the old Commodore" and Viii
liam Ell. Seward, who so narrowly missed
the Presidency in 1880. They were
talking about money-making. "Com-
modore, " asked Mr.. Seward, "you are
not always successful in your business
plans, are you 2"

extreme frankness. Sometimes [ lose
$4,000 or $75, 900 or 800, 900, but gen
orally come out leetle ahead at the
end of the year"
Another veteran of thirty Saratoga
seasons tells this: 81 have often heard
Vanderbilt say that he made his great
fortune after he reached the age of 65.
He had only $15, 900, 600 or SIC, 900, 900
when he was IS. His first big hit was
the purchase of the Harlem road. That
doubled his fortune. Then he bought
the Hudson River and Central and
doubled another. And finally he took
in the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern and his Western property, and dou-
bled his estate the third time. Thus,
when he was at the age when most men
are thinking of making their wills, his
estate jumped from $15, 900, 900 to $780,
100000 by the purchase of the Harlem,
from $50, 0,000,0 900 to $60,00O,000 by the
purchase of the Hudson River, and from
100000, 600 to $12O, 900, 900 by the pur-
chase of the Lake Shore. That is the
whole secret of the building up of the
wonderful Vanderbilt fortune. But the
heirs have shown better quality of
holding on to the money than was e1-
pected. There isn't one of the younger
Vanderbilts who lives up to his income.

A Wonderful Rocking Stone.

about 500 cubic feet, in shape nearly
as round as an orange, in weight not
less than so, pounds, or forty tons,
and SO nicely balanced upon a table of
rock that child ten yeurs of age, by
pushing either against the north or
south side, can rock it back OF forth: vet
the strength of hundred men, without
levers or other appliances, would be in
sufficient to dislodge it from it's position,
Such is the celebrated rocking stone on
the farm of Mr.. j. McLaury, two miles
west of Monticello. This is one of the
greatest natural curiosities in our whole
country. What sculptor could chisel out a
piece of marble Of its size, and then poise
it so nicely that it would vibrate under
so light touch But its shape, size
and position are not the most wonderful
things about it. It's body is composed
of somewhat loose and soft sandstone
in which are imbedded numberless round
and tiinty pebbles, of diamond like
hardness. In all the valley where it is
situated it is the solitary specimen of its
class. Around and under. the rocks are

Why Red Haired Girls Don't Tan.

A red-haired girl, believe, never
turns brown. That, understood from
learned physician, is because she has
too much iron in her blood. 1t is the
iron that gives the fine Titan hue to
her hair. If she had less iron in her
blood her hair would probably be brown
or chestnut, or perhaps blond. The
varying degrees of redness that you see
in different red-headed girls is due to
the different proportions of iron in their
blood. A girl with glossy, brownish hair
that shows red in a strong light has
only q fair share of iron in her blood,
but bricktop, if 1 may be permitted
the expression, bricktop is full of
iron. The doctors know of no way of
neutraiizing the effect of the iron. Per
haps they wouldn't resort to it, even if
they knew it. For it is the iron
in the blood that makes the red
headed girls so strong and hardy and
good natured. 1t also is the cause of
freckles, which are very good for the
health. And it is noticed as a singular
thing-probably also having some rela~
ton to the iron in the blood-that mos
quitoes never bite red-headed girls. So
you see, according to the dictum of this
learned physician, red headed girl has
many advantages over her dark haired
sister. PHILADELPHIA Press.
