THE AMERICAN BISON.
Successful Effort to Domesticate the Buff
falo in Nebraska.

Successful Effort to Domesticate the Buff
falo in Nebraska.
It is only few years since vast
herds of bison rOamed over the plains
between the Rocky Mountains and
the Mississippi River, feeding on the
grass and brushwood. The tread Of
their hoofs was heard for miles as the
rolling of distant thunder, and the
dust caused by their motion rose as a
typhoon in the desert. But mans
desire of gain and his insensate
cruelty have changed all this. The
noble and inoffensive animals nave
been almost eXterminated, and OF the
millions that once rOamed masters Of
the prairies, only a few, very few,
remain. First came the Indian who
lived upon the bison and dressed in
his shaggy skin. Then came the
white man, anxious for pelf and

in captivity, and he has demonstra-
ted that the domesticated animal is
one-third larger than when wild. The
result Of crossing the animal with
domestic cattle is satisfactory, and
as the meat is the finest in the world
and the hide of much Importance, the
commercial advantage resulting is
great, and the prospect Of preserving
the bison is reaSsuring.

The Cbamnion Grape-yine,

Portugal is said to have the honor
of possessing the largest grapevine in
the world. 1t is growing at Oys in
that kingdom, and must be a prolific

scented that it has been bearing since
1902, a period of nearly ninety years.
It's largest yield was in 1884, when
165 gallons of wine was made from its
product.

Once give the Jews chance and they spring into the front rank of their com- pettors, their splendid genius leaping in- to flame like d row of ready gaslights, when the torch is passed along the line. Thus Munkacsy, the Hungarian painter, was Hebrew. So was the famous ac- tress Rachel. So is that woman of sur- passing genius, Sarah Bernhardt. It is impossible to enumerate all the music ians found among the Jews, but we may mention Moscheles, Wienia wski .J joachim and Rubenstein, as well as the grand composers Halevy, Meyerbeer and Men delssohD. How is it in finance? Here they are unrivalled. The Jews are the bank CTS of the world. The banking business of the Austrian empire is managed by Hebrews, who could foreclose and ruin two thirds of the nobles, who in society treat them with disdan. The great bank CT of Prussia is the Hebrew Bleichroder :: while the Jewish house of the Roths- childs can control the fate of nations.- John l.. Stoddard.

E. A. Rowell thinks it great mistake to recommend the drawing out of manure at all seasons, regardless of conditions and situations. Nor does he believe the statement true which some chemists have made, that the dark liquid we sometimes see running from manure pile is worth less. There must be some fertility in it and he had much rather it would be in than out of tho mannre at our barns. Ii the manure can be drawn and spread up. on the bare ground, he has no objections to hauling it as fast as made; otherwise put it under the shed and use absorbents and keep moist to prevent loss by evap. orati0n.
