Some years ago a gentleman travelling
on horseback in the lower counties of
Pennsylvania met stranger journeying
in like mode, with whom he engaged in a
deSultory conversation. Thinking the
strangers horse looked familiar, he re-
marked that the animal was probably one
which had been stolen from him SIX years
before.
To settle the matter he made the follow
ing proposition: When we arrive at NY
house. your horse shall be tied to the east
post in front of my door-the horse | am
on to the west post. After standing d
short time. the bride of your horse shall
be taken off, and if he does not go to d
pair of bars on the west side of the house,
pass over. go around to the east side of
the barn., pull out pin, open the middle
stable door, will not claim him. If he
does Will furnish you conclusive evidence
that he was bred by me. but never sold
that he was stolen from me just at the
conclusion Of the war; about the very time
YOU say YOU purchased him.
The traveller asSented to the trial.
The horse was hitched to the post pro-
posed. stood few minutes the saddle and
bride were taken off-he raised his head.
picked up his ears, looked up the road,
then down the road several times, then
deliberately and slowly walked past the
house and over the bars and to the stable
door. as described and with his teeth and
lips drew out the pin, and entered his old
stall.
We scarcely need to add he was recog-
nized by the neighbors, who fully attested
to the facts stated by the Claimant, and
that the traveller lost his title to the
horse.
A game hen died died on f. W Gam
ble's place. at Cuthbert Ca. a few days
ago. This hen had reached the age or
fourteen years, lacking only few weeks.
She continued to lay eggs until year be-
fore she died. For several months she had
been totally blind, but was fed and watered
regularly by Miss Mary Gamble, In 1886,
when Mr.. Gamble moved to Macon. this
hen was carried there, and brought back
when he returned to Cuthbert. In the
spring of 1882, when the cyclone struck
Mr.. Candles place and tore things up. this
old hen was setting in box on the Kitchen
hearth. The kitchen was blown away. the
chimney was missing. but the hearth re-
manned. and there sat the old hen In her
box, as composed as though nothing had
happened.

Milking Machines.

A recent issue of the Australian Colo
mist gives few particulars of Buchanan 5
celebrated self-acting cow-miIker. which
is being used by Mr. J. L. Thompson,
at the Dookle Agricultural College farm
and supplied by the New Milking Com
pany, Sheffield The machine (if such d
simple cOntrivance can be ciassed as ma
chinel, consists of four tubes 212 inches in
length and is about the thickness of No. y
wire: it is like a thick bodkin with three
round holes on each side. The end is
closed and rounded so that while the tube
can be readily inserted into the canal of
the teat it will not rupture or prick the
flesh. The six holes allow the milk to
enter the tubes at different points from
near the closed end to about an inch and
half below 1t; the other end of the tube is
fixed into a flexible gutta- percha pipe
about nine inches in length, the outlet of
the pipe being kept open by a metal ring.
There is a tn and pipe for each teat,
and the four gutta-percha tubes are bind
ed together at the ends so that the four
streams mite before falling into the
bucket Regarding the uddrr rs Il vessel
containing the the milk and the teat AS

it aims at opening the pipe and keeping
1t open, simply allowing the milk to lUn
out. A glance al TIE c0ntrivauce in opera
ton is sufficient to show that the principle
is correct. As soon as the tube is inserted
the milk spurts out, and continues to run
in steady stream until the udder is
empty, the flow gradually lessening, until
the supply becomes exhausted. Mr..
Thompson has used ,he machines on two
COWS; so far his results have been very
satisfactory. All the milk i, etfectually

tested by hand milking after the tubes

advantageous, and its use contributes to-
