The self binder was first successfully at
tlched to the reaper in 1875. From 1856 :
1876 inclusive, our average crop of wheat
varying more with the season than with
the planted area, had been Pos. 900, 600
bushels In 1871, when the self-binder
first began to be used, the crop mounted to
nearly 1854 600, 600 bushels Again, in 1873,
it mounted up and from that date to 1887
inclusive, in which period the use of the
self binder had become general, the average
crop was 440, DOC, 900 bushels Could the
crops of the last ten years have been saved
without the self binder. When we CON
siler that the total number of self binding
reapers now made and sold is more than
100 600 a year, requiring more than 30 600
tons of Irvine to bind "a single wheat crop

the self-binding harvester a main factor in

For stock feeding to be profitable it must
be regular Animals will not, cannot
thrive when their food is given them at any
time of the day to suit convenience or ca
price. Nature is regular in her work.
She at once proceeds to digest and assimil-
ate food and proceeds regularly with her
work Irregular feeding disturbs and de
ranges the organs of digestion and assim
ilation If food is given before the regu-
lar time the stomach is overloaded or the
organs are put to work before they have
recovered from disposing of the previous
meal, and as result the entire system is
disturbed in its action and digestion and
assimilation are incomplete, leading to IA
loss of food If food is not given until af-
ter the usual time, the unusual hunger of
the animal will induce it to eat too hurried
ly, and the first operation of digestion
mlstication-will be incomplete, while the
matter supplied by the previous meal to re-
place the broken-down tissue will have been
exhausted, and that stored up as gain will
be drawn upon. If you keep enough stock
at all to justify it, you will find it highly
profitable to make a trusty careful EN-
ploye the feeder, giving all his time t
the animals. If you cannot do this, then
arrange for tue feeding of the animals at
the usual time if you must be from home ol
late afield National StOckIndn

A mother on Madison avenue lately
requested her daughter, who is just APP
preaching womanhood, to give her beau
a hint that she must not sit up later than
10 o'clock. This the girl was reluctant
to do; but her little brother threatened
that unless she did he would open the
parlor door and announce the maternal
edict. The sister supposed that she had
put quietus on her brother by remind
ing him of his playing hockey and forg-
ing his mothers name to excuses from
school to go skating, not forgetting to
mention the little riding whip his mamma
kept in her room. All this, however,
was not enough to keep the youth from
getting even with siss beau for not giving
him anything Christmas.
The other evening he got an alarm
clock with bell as loud as the gong on
the "Brooklyn-bridge" bob, and placed
it under the sofa where his sister and
her betrothed were TO do their spooning
The hands were pointed at 10. The I'M
suspecting girl heard the tick, but took
it to be her lovers Waterbury. He was
just tickling her ear with yarn about
a horse his papa was going to buy when
the gong sounded. There was a pause,
and then, as if understanding the mean
ing, he grabbed his hat and never stop
ped running until he struck the door
stoop, when he flew. The boy had iced
the steps. The little brother now takes
q cushion TO school with him.

Reunion ana n Remlniscencc.


Hon. S. c. Graham, of Tazewell coun-
ty; Judge George w. Easley, OF Giles
county Senators Rhea and Williams,
and Acknowledgement Ayers met in the
Attorney Generals Office a day or two
ago and had quite social reunion talk
ing over the canvass OF 1888.
These gentlemen were appointed mem
bers OF the State Central Committee for
the Ninth congressional district by the
Democratic convention which met at
Lynchburg. AS constituting the dis
trlct committee for that district
they met at Wytheville soon after
their appointment to devise ways and
means to carry the district and over
come the immense majority which had
been polled by the Republicans for
Cameron in 1881 and again III 1882 for
Wise. After discussing the situation
fully Mr.. Graham offered the following
resolutions, which were adopted-viz.
Resolpsd, That We can carry tho Ninth district.
ResoLpsd, That we will carry the Ninth district.
They at once divided up the different
counties among the several committee
men, each man becoming responsible for
the counties placed under his Immediate
charge.
There never was better organization
in the district than the one perfected by
this committee, and the result was tri-
butte to their devotion to the cause OF
Democracy.
Meeting after the lapse of four years
and half they found that each had
been steadfast in his allegiance to De-
mocracy and that nothing in the course
of the different campaigns through
which they have passed since then has
ever occurred to interrupt or mar the
pleasant personal relations which have
always existed between them.
With warm hand shake they parted,
Graham off to Washington, Easley TO the
Blue Mountains OF the Southwest, Rhea
and Williams TO their arduous duties in
the Senate, and Ayers to fight the cou-
mons.
