OVERSIGHT WIND MILLS.

We have two WiSdmills on the farm
Of the kind known as "oyershot." or
north and south mills. We call ours
l'poguls-" They run between the
points of north west and north east,
and south east and south west, and are
the most powerful mill; do the greatest
anseunt Of work with least friction of
any milf known. They combine sim
EEssity with durability. The only ar
gamsutI have ever heard against them
Is Hsts they will not run in a direct
sasf and west wind. Our prevailing
winds 81 the prairie, however, are from
tSS direction which the mills run.
TIE wheel which furnishes the power
Is psIsRt somewhat after the pattern of
stem wheel steamboat. a frame is
hstilt aaa the wheel hung on bearings,
With crank on each end; the lower
half Of the Wheel is housed in, the
upper PARTON alone exposed to the
wind We have one wheel 12x16 and
one 12x14 fsFs. On one we use AXIS
cysinders and gu the other one 4xl6
and ens sxse-. Combined they throw
about seven inches Of water.
We have three ponds. the central

bass sad perch. East season we had

IN THE senate vote will be taken
today on the Bland seigniorage bill.
The indications are that it will pass the
senate, though predictions are made
that the president will veto it. The
DEMOCRAT does not join in this latter
opinion. President Cleveland has. we
believe. learned by this time that the
democrats of the north, west and south
and many in the east-are demand
ing this recognition of silver; and We
do not think he will want to fly in the

using the veto power at this critical
