began the slow and painful perform

Joey, | hope you never in your life
have had any thing to do as hard as
that was. The sun beat down on my
bare head till l felt sure the hair must
have sizzled all off the top, and my
poor little legs ached till it brought the
tears to my eyes. That wasn't half the
worst of it, either, with Ned lying
there, white and still, and the pitiless
sky telling me l had probably killed
him. What would mamma do? Oh,

this time and get he safely back horne

FAC-SIMILE TELEGRAPH.
How a Manuscript or Picture May il
Electrically Transmitted.

How a Manuscript or Picture May lie
Electrically Transmitted.
The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscripts, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is species of the auto
matte method, in which the receiver is
actuated spontaneously with its trans
mitter. By Lenoir's method picture
or map is outlined with insulating ink
upon the cylindrical surface of rotat-
ing drum, which revolves under point
having slow movement along the
axis of the cylinder, and thus the con-
Quoting point goes over the cylindrical
surface in a spiral path. The electrical
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this
path, and thereby corresponding marks
are made in a spiral line by an ink
marker upon drum at the receiving
end.
OIo produce these outlines it is nee
essary that the two drums be rotated
in unison. This system is of little
utility, there being no apparent de-
mand for fac-simile transmission, par
ticularly at so great an expense of
speed. for it will be seen that instead
of making character of the alphabet
by very few separate pulses, as is
done by Morse, the number must be
greatly increased. Many dots be-
come necessary to show the outlines
of the more complex characters.
The pantelegraph is an interesting
type of the fac-simile method. In
this form the movements of a pen in
the writer's hand produce correspond
ing movements of pen at the distant
station and thereby a fac-simile
record. rd.-Scribner's Magazine.

The Right Kind of Talk.

An admirer and breeder of jersey cat
tie. writing in the National Stockman,
says that he does not advocate JERSEYS
for beef; that he never saw good Jer-
Sey COW that was fit for beef: that a
good Jersey cow has no forequarters
and neither has she hindquarters, and
that all she has is plenty of abdomen
and udder. We believe fully in this
sort of talk. We donot believe that the
dairy breeds should be held up as beef
producers, or that the beef breeds
should be held up as milk producers.
We know very well that some of
the best mixers in the world
are to be found among the
beef breeds. We have often
said that the man who wants to produce
beef is very foolish man to fool away
any time upon milk production. 1t is
true that farmers often say that they
want a general purpose COW, that is a
cow that will do for beef when her use
fulness as mixer is over. Very well.
take any COW that will give the milk
wanted. 1t will not be the best beef
under any circumstances. Old COW
beef is not the beef that consumers are
looking after much, and old cows are
not quoted at paying prices. The man
who is coming anywhere near getting
profit from beef production is the man
who gets his cattle into market a long
time before a cow is useless as mixer.
Just as true as you are born, friend, the
general purpose COW does not pan out
well.

AGRICULTURAL FIGURES.

Mr.. bod ge, statiStician OF the depart
ment, has prepared an album of agri-
cultural statistics. graphically illustrat.
facts, the distribution of the various
grains, value of farm animals, popula-
ton, etc. Some of the facts and figures
presented are very interesting. For in
stance, the farm lands of the entire
United States comprise only 289 acres
in every 1000, leaving I'll acres I'M
taken. OF these 2S9 acres 153 are pro-
ductive or improved, 103 woodland
and SO still unproductive, though
much Of it capable of Improvement.
Hitherto only forest lands in farm areas
have been reported by the census. The
total area of forest growth, including
that outside of farm areas, is nearly $50
acres of every 1000, oP fourth. SeDar-
ate charts represent the distribution OF
wheat, corn and oats. Only IL acres in
every 1000 are devoted to corn, and 20
acres to wheat. Five states-Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota
are in one group, in which 81 acres or
over in every LOCO are devoted to wheat.
One chart represents the proportion of
population in all the gainful occupa-
tiOnS related to agriculture. The
highest group includes states hay
ing SO down to ~ per cent of
population in occupations relating
TO agriculture, and the lowest group. Is
down to per cent. The average for
the whole country is about a per cent,
or about 3 per &c Mt less than in 1870
The average value of farm lands in the
United States is about $500 per acre,
and the average value, by states, ranges
from S65. 16 down to S4.i9. The highest
group of states Includes those in which
the land averages over $50 per acre, and
includes Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New Jersey. Delaware,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Michigan. 1t appears from another
chart that 74.5 per cent of all farms in
this country are titled by their owners.
The proportion of share tenants is only
IT'S per cent, mostly in the cotton states,
and but per cent pay money. %

THE DEMON STEER.
A Horned Terror Even to the
Dare Devil Cowboys OF the
Plains

A Horned Terror Even to the
Dare Devil Cowboys OF the
Plains.
George Wilson, a well-known cowboy,
arrived from the Northern ranges yes
terday afternoon, says a Cheyenne
(Wyo.) letter to the Omaha Republican.
According to Wilson there has roamed
on the ranges adjacent to the Platte and
Laramie rivers for these many years
mastodOn wild steer, whose aggressive
ness and power make him the dread of
every roundup outfit. This cOmbative
beef bears not brand, but no 'ruStler"
dare appropriate him.
"The demon steer" as the pugnaclous
brute is called, knows no fear, aud with
lowered head, glistening eyes. aud SON
orous below will charge upon anything
in his course. Time upon time has he
been rounded up with his comparative
dOcile companions. but he invariably
rushes past the line of riders as if no
such obstruction to his flight existed.
Once C Y outfit determined to effect
the capture of the big fellow. but after
he had gored two horses and scared the
wits from half dozen riders the under
taking was abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season In
a fit of rage at those who dared intrude
on the peaceful solitude of the range
charged at midday into camp. creating
a panic to which was ideal quietneSs the
incident to the stampede of the tabled
bull in the imaginary China shop. There
was grand scattering of equipage and
a disordered flight of diners. One of
these latter was so incenSed that con-
trary to all orders he sent a siX-shooter
ball through the massive steer, but the
missile few wide of its mark.
Wilson asserts that he will undertake
to prove that the sdemon steer" killed
a big bear in fair fight on the Sabylle
three years ago, and the cowboys win
bet all their earthly belongings that
Demon can conquer any bull Ia the ter
ritory. The combat with the bear was
a terrible affair. Bruin was forced to the
defensive from the start, and for a time
pluckily met the fearful OnSlaughts OF
the fighting steer, jarring the great form
with blows from his paws. The activity
of the steer was marvellous. He played
around his antagonist as the sparrer
annoys his foe, and at nearly every
charge ran his long, sharp horns into
the blood-matted sides of the bear with
the wicked "swish" of the sword
thrust.
Wilson thinks the ''de.non steer will
die of old age. The man who attempts
his capture takes his life in his hands"
