Tending Their Lawlessness.
EVANSVILLE, IND, June S.-The White
Csps o; Spencer county have made new
movement. They have written and posted
in several places a lengthy proclamation
defending their lawlessness on the ground
OF the laxlty OF the officers in Furnishing
crime, and say that their atten-
ton is especially directed against
wife-besters, loafers, lewd women and
the men who visit their houses and boys
under sixteen years who run about st
night. The remarkable port Of the mani
festo is q command that the newspapers
in the country shall publish their pro-
clamation under penalty of chastisement
of the editors for tisobedience. One Of
the papers has complied. There Is much
interest as to what will be the result in
the case of the others.

day for E. o Wiener OF San Francisco, in
which he proposes to sail from the coast
of Maine to Agpinwall, snd sitter portage
across the isthmus to resume his journey

This principle consists in ballasting with
water taken through permanent holes in
the bottom and acting upon oil in the
metal ballasting. Il is claimed that such
vessel can neither be upset nor sunk.

From the Aurora (Ill.) Beacon, Jan.l4, 1888.
Geo. Z. Brown s. Co. announce that it has
been decided to close the present partner
ship under which they have been doing q
most successful business for many years.
The &C.," MIR. Chas. A. Brown, of Portland,
Me-, finding his large manufacturing inter-
est in the East requires his undivided atten-
ton and the managing partner, Geo. E.
Brown, not caring to continue the business
on the immense scale the firm has been do
ing; they have decided to close out the large
stock by April 1st; and to this end will quote
very attractive prices to intending buyers.
This firm is too we'll known to our readers
to require extended comment from US.
When 1t is considered that at the time Geo.
F.. Brown commenced this business fourteen
years ago, Cleveland Bay and English Shire
horses and H~olstein cattle were scarcely
known in this country; that when locating
at Elgin in 1875, ono carload constituted
his entire stock in trade; and that now the
stables and yards of this firm occupy more
than 10 acres Of ground, and 800 acres of
rich prairie afford but little more than pas.
ture for their breeding and growing stack,
il will readily be conceded that their selec-
tions must have been of the best, and that
these now popular breeds have supplied a
decided want in this country. We're any
thing further necessary to emphasize the
success Of Messrs. Brown & Co., it is found
in the fact that their stock has always been
at the front when exhibited at agricultural
fairs, and in several instances nearly swept
the board of prizes in spite of the strongest
competition. Shrewd buyers wanting first
class stock will not let this opportunity to
supply themselves go by. We advise them
to send at once for illustrated pamphlet and
full particulars. See their new advertise
ment.

The Chicago Times pertinently and
sensibly puts a q~uietus on the scare
crow nonsense that has filled the col.
umns of our eastern and southern ex.
changes. This is what it says:

more affected by the recent storm than is
the oceans tide by the gales that sweep over
it. The great spring and summer floods Of
the Ohio and Mississippi occur with more
regularity than Dakota billiards, last long
err, and cause greater destruction to life and
property. They seem to increase in devast-
ating power as the country along the shores
becomes settled.

New Method Of Putting up Hay.

James E. Reed this fall attempted an ex-
pertinent which, if it proves successful, will
cause a revolution in putting up hay for do
nestle use. Mr.. Reed had a new seltbinder
on his place, and conceived the idea that if
the machine could be made to work in the
bayfield, an immense amount of labor could
be saved in the handling of hay. The ex-
pertinent was tried, and on on ordinarily
level meadow the binder worked like O
charm. Mr.. Reed could not give the exper-
iment q fair trial this year on account Of
the heavy rains which prevailed during hay
ing season, apd which rendered the mead
too soft for q binder to work we'll; but
he is confident that hay con be put up sue
cessfully in the manner described in an or
binary season. AS to curing, Mr.. Reed
claims that two good days are all that are
to put the hay in condition for
stacking. The immense saving by the new
process cannot but be apparent. A binder
supplied with q bundle carrier will deposit
SIX tlghtly-bound bundles in q place, and all
that is necessary is to shock the bundles be-
stacking, titus doing away with the la
Dor of raking and cooking up; and the hay
being in bundles can be handled with a
Of the labor required to handle loose
hay. Another important item is the saving
of the large amount of hay which is always
in handling while loose on account Of
blown away by the heavy winds
which sweep over our prairies. Mr.. Reed
also claims that the binder leaves the mead
ow perfectly clean, while in all other meth
of raking there is a large percentage Of
He will try the experiment again
next season, and is confident of making a
grand success of it.-Towner News & Stock
