A FEW weeks ago a citizen of Thorp
Wis, going. through the woods neal
there, found two deer with their horns
locked together. One was dead and
frozen stiff, and the other had dragged
the dead body over forty rods and tori
up the ground and brush in its frantic
efforts to get free. 1t was still alive
but very weak, and the hard-heartec
citizen killed the poor animal, ano
then had to break the horns in ordel
to get them apart.

Sore Teats, OF oarkoI
A correspondent of Hoards Dairy
man gives a cure OF his own for TINS
troublesome complaint. He says
At first one teat will milk harder than
the rest, and gets worse until scarce a
drop can be got from it. The quarter
of the bag it represents is hard and
SWOLLEN. He lie the teat thus affected
alone for four days, rubbing on linseed
il twice day, giving the COW five
drops of aconitn, on an ear OF corn,
night and morning, and not giving the
COW a full grain ration during this
time. He milks on the fifth day, and
generally has no trouble. II it begins
TO milk hard again give another rest
and there is no trouble afterwards
This is simple way of treating 9
troublesome complaint, and at THU
time Of the year there may be many
persons who will be glad to know how
to treat it.

A GREAT tunnel has been con

tains for the Northern Pacific Railroad
at cost OF about W 100000 One o
the interesting features of its construc
ton was that electric lights were USED
to illuminate it while work was goinl
on and that the power was supplied
by a mountain stream falling directly
over the mouth of the tunnel. Their,
is abundance of such power going tt
waste all over the country, and more
attention should be given to its utili

1t is related that genius at Pitts
burg, Ill, has made big barrel chun
upon wheels. He goes through the
country gathering cream, until a
proper quantity has been secured. On
the way home he connects the churn-
ing gear, and as he drives along the
churning goes on as the wagon moves
forward. so that when he arrives there
is nothing to do but take out the but
ter and draw off the buttermilk. That
comes pretty near portable butter
factory, and its inventor is probably q
born Yankee, instead of being q ma
tive Of the sucker State"

FROM studies upon the relation
which the annual rings bear to tho
age OF trees it has been concluded
that they arc only an approxima-
lively and not certainly correct index
OF age. Any agency operating to pro-
duce alternate periods Of rest and &C
tivity in the growth of the trees serves
TO determine their formation. In
cold climates the number of rings
more nearly serves TO indicate the age
OF the trees than in warm climates.

EXPERIMENTS have proved that the
tensile strength Of wet rope is only
one-third that of the same rope when
dry, and rope saturated with grease
or soap is weaker still, as the lubricant
permits the fibers to slip with greater
facility. Hemp rope contracts strong
ly on being wet, and a dry rope twenty
five feet long will shorten to twenty
four on being wet.
