A Bulldogs Grip.

Most bulldogs prefer to die rather than
let 60 their grip, once they have fastened
their teeth into flesh. This was the case
with one at North Sayville, L. /. On
the evening of that day a Mr.. Armbrus-
ter left valuable pony in front of his
house while he entered to get something.
While he was In the house his bulldog,
which was chained in the yard, became
angry at the horse, and tuggea at his
chain until he broke it. He then at
tackled the pony and lacerated it terribly.
He bit through the tendons Of the front
legs and was hanging to the pony's throa
when Armbruster came ont of the house.
Seeing the trouble that the pony was in,
and being acquainted with the dog stem
er, he called hired man and they at
tempted to club the dog off, but all to no
purpose. The beast hung on to the pony's
throat Finally Armbruster got a double
barreled shot gun, loaded both barrels, and
blazed away at the dog, killing him in
stantly. The pony was badly torn, but
will recover. Buffalo Express.

What next do.my opponents prescribe?
Rubber covered tracks seem out Of the
question, but their invention and in1
genuity seem in no way diminished, fand
the latest proposal to accelerate the speed
of the light harness horse is by the intro
duction of gas. At Fiesd wood, Aug. %,
with the two first events concluded,
after her warming up mile in about ago,
during sthe interval while waiting her
turn to race DR.. Alfred Walton treated
Alix to big dose of his ozonized gas.
Alix rather objected at the first to the.big
$50 gallon cylinder of gas, but by grad
ually working the two inhalers toward
her nose from behind DIR. Walton and
candy" Mcdowell managed to complete
the experiment and got her to inhale
somewhere about 1876 gallons of gas be-
fore her trial. This is the first time that
horse has been treated in this manner
for supreme effort ANDY Mcdowell
and premier Salisbury believe the gas
helped this race considerably. This en-
ployment of gas can hardy be recognized
as an innovation, as gas has been about
the only stock in trade Of my oppon-
ents since ithe controversy sbegan, and
only goes to prove how effervescent and
unlimited are their resources. 1t is q
most similar coincidence however that
the introduction of gas is also the latest
proposal of adventurers to reach the
North pPole by using that commodity
to inflats their balloons; so there is
some probability after all that the dis
covery of the pole and the two-minute
trottas may yet be oo-existsnt with each
otl er.

L ogs That Buried Themselves.

A queer story, showing animal instinct,
comes from Santa BE, a small town nine
miles south Of this city. Squire Thorne
of that place is the owner of two dogs
which he valued highly, and which mys.
terionsly disappeared two weeks ago. 1t
was taken for granted that some person
had stolen them, and the family thought
no more of the matter. Yesterday the
squire was surprised to see one of the
dogs staggering into the house. A f1w
moments later 1t was followed by the
other, both in an exhausted condition.
Investigation revealed that William
Hahn, neighbor, was out hunting.
and on the banks OF Pipe Greek his dogs
commenced TO whine at hole in the
ground, and nothing that he could do
would make them move away from the
spot. Satisfied that there was something
wrong, he procured a spade and common
ced digging. The dogs assisted him.
About six feet of earth was taken away,
when he came on the imprisoned dogs,
who had lain there for fourteen days. It
seems that they chased ia rabbit into his
hole, and while burrowing after him
threw the dirt back, thus closing up the
hole and preventing their escape. Both
dogs are living. Peru Qnd. Cores

Ihere are places in the mysterious re-
glon known as the Interior on the
eastern slope of the Andes, where much
gold is found. From that section there
IS constant flow of the yellow metal to
'he coast, amounting to great quantity
yearly. This land of gold, however. is
not toLbe entered. No white man has
ever returned from it alive. The savages
are fierce and brave, and are known ia
practice cannibalism. The country is A
traokiess wilderness, the only means of
communication being by the numerous
waterways. 10 the villages along the
coast come canoes from inland, each bear

nuts and fruits, and usually, carefully
wrapped up in leaf, little gold dust,
or nugget or two. Thus the gold flows
In tiny streams to the coast, from which
1t is shipped by merchants in payment
for goods. One collection, sent to Italy
in payment for consignment, comprised
nuggets, leaf-gold and fiour-gold, mixed
with several nose-rings and number of
gold tisn hooks. This UNEMPLOYED gold
producing region is mountainous and
covered by an almost impenetrable forest
and jungle, in which are many species
OF valuable woods.
1t is estimated that the worlds annual
consumption of gold in the arts, chiefly
III the manufacture of jewelry, is some
where between $50, 900, 600 and $50, 900, 600.
Probably about 81, 500, 600 worth of gold
coin of the United States is melted yearly
for such employment. This Government
makes fine gold bars of FIVE ounces and
upwards for the use of jewelers. and other
manufacturers, and they are more gener.
ally employed. Similar bars are turned
out by private rehneries. Of such bars

His Warm Greeting to the Mob of Blood

]. K. Chambers. Union Depot ticket
agent, when in reminiscent mood, can
tell many interesting stories OF the West
in early days, says the Omaha World
Herald. He was in the service of the
government at Sydney when that town
was the toughest place in Nebraska, II
not in the West, and from whence persons
bound for the Black Hills started. A
few days ago Mr.. Chambers was sitting
in the Milwaukee city office, and the con
| versation turned to early days in the
| trans Missouri country and bravery.
1.-THE man Of iron nerve I saw in sgd
ney in III" said Mr.. Chambers, twas a
beardless man. scarcely more than boy,
and should judge had not reached his
majority. He was q tough man even in
Sydney, and his reputation was sus-
tanned, for he always carried a revolver.
and he would shoot at the drop OF the
hat. His name was Doug Reed.
sit was said around town that he
would never die a natural DEATH That
turned out true, as he was 1ynched by a
mob one morning, and that is where he
displayed his nerve.
"The lynchers took the keys and IN
locked the doors, and went into the cell
where Reed was He was smoking a
cigar when the men came in, and when
he saw them he lookedlup as oool as you
please.
p" Good evening, gentlemen, I suppose

me, he said, as nonohalantly as though
he was asking them to take drink. He
was told that he was correct in his sup
position.
he got up as unconeernedly as you
please, and, putting on his coat, he re-
marked that he was all ready, if the rest
were. He walked through the Jail and
out into the moonlight, still smoking his
cigar. and even making little rings of
smoke. He simply glanced up at the
moon, and, turning to one Of the men.
asked him where he was going to be
swung off, saying that it was of no use
walking a man mile or SO into the
country
= he was marched up the street to a
telegraph pole that stood in the very
heart of the town. By this time half the
townspeople were around. A rope had
been brought along and it was 81 tipped
over his head and lie was bound
can't climb that pole and fall off,
l ought to have a ladder 40 us l can get
up, he said, and accordingly a ladder
was brought and placed against the pole.
He was asked if he had anything to say,
and remarked that he hadn't, and if he
had he wouldn't. When the ladder was
placed against the pole one of the men
started up to tie ono end of the rops
about the pole.
You needn't do that he said, for
if you will unwind these cords about nv

The cords were unwound and he
climb up the pole as far as the ladded
reached and fastened the rope around the
pole. When he had done this he looked
around over the crowd standing very
quietly then, and called out:
. Goodbye, boys.
. With that he jumped off the ladder.

was swinging there. His nerve never

that she can possibly produce, and
far more than any one calf could
need, and thus give the secreting
tissues free play; and, from the ac-
ton of the natural law that exer-
else develops the exercised part,
either in the milk vessel of COW,
or in the calf of the leg of a man
bred among the hills, the udder is
stimulated to yield more. Quick
ness, quietness, gentleness and 9TH
er conditions relating to the art of
milking all help this development,
while our artificial treatment in
the way Of selecting the individual
animals, housing them, feeding
we'll, and SO on, are other influences
improving the milk secretion.

When fowls are wounded cleanse
the wound from all foreign matter
and wash with tepid milk and
water. Remove the fowl from the
flock. If the wound refuses to heal,
dress with ointment of creosote.
Do not stop feeding the dairy
COW as soon as she goes dry. Give
her enough good feed to steadily
maintain a fair condition of flesh
and she will be all the better milk
er when she comes fresh again. If
she is allowed to get thin in flesh it
is going to cost something to get
her up again.
1t is a question whether more
poultry and eggs are not raised
about our cities and villages than
upon the farms. The farmer has
one large flock upon his large farm,
while the village lots hold hum
bred. Some breeds are suited to
the one and some to another con-
dition. Some are not satisfied or
greatly productive in confinement.
A cow with a quick, keen appe-
tite, which is never cloyed by in
judicious feeding, is the one that
pays best in a dairy. Most COWS
will not readily eat the fodder
which is left over from another
meal. 1t is the coarsest and most
unpalatable portion and not invit-
ing. Feed no more than will be
eaten; if you do, remove it if not
relished.
Ten drops of the oil of turpen-
tine shaken up with teaspoonful
of sweet milk will cure half doz-
en- chickens of the gaps, each get
ting an equal part of it, or the same
quantity mixed with -four or meal
and small bolus forced down the
throat of the chick will do the work
promptly. The dose should be re-
peated several times-say morn,
noon and night.
Ripening cream is the most i'm
portant and at the same time the
most difficult step in the art of
making good butter. Both flavor
of the butter and the thoroughness
of churning depend upon the man
ner in which the cream is ripened.
Ripening is caused by the bacteria
acting in many ways. They act
upon the milk sugar, producing
Tactic ACID, which In time curdles
the casein. Bacteria act to gener-
ate and form, volatile substance
which imparts odor and flavor to
butter and butter to milk. Just
what these odor and flavor impart-
ing substances are we do not know
definitely. THREE reasons are given
for ripening cream. First, TO get fla
vor in butter; second, to secure
thorough churning; third, to i'm
prove the keeping quality, The
first reason is sound. 1t is impos!
sible to get the fine, nutty flavor
except from ripened cream. Sec
ond reason is also sound, and third
reason is in some doubt. r4

FARM Notes.



teen rules for the guidance of road
masters in keeping macadam and
telford roads in proper repair, as
follows:
/. Never allow hollow, rut,
or puddle to remain on road,
but fill it up at once with chips
from the stone heap.
2. Always use chips for patching
and for all repairs during the Sum-
mer season.
3. Never put fresh stones on the
road il, by cross-picking and a
thorough use of the rake, the sur
face can be made smooth, and kept
at the proper strength and section.
4. Remember that the rake is the
most useful tool in your collection3
and it should be kept at hand the
whole year round.
5. Do not spread large patches of
stone over the whole width of the
road, but coat the middle or horse
track first, and when this has worn
in coat each of the sides in turn.
6. In moderately dry weather
and on hard roads always pick up
the old surface into ridges six inches
apart, and remove all large and
projecting stones before applying a
new coating.
z. Never spread stones more than
one stone deep, but add second
layer when the first one has worn
in if one coat he not enough.
=. Never shoot stones upon the
road and crack them where they
lie, or u smooth surface will be out
of the question.
g. Never put stone upon road
for repairing purposes that will not
freely pass in every direction
through a two-inch ring, and re-
member that smaller stones should
he used for patching and for all
slight repairs.
10. Recollect that hard stones
should be broken to finer guage
than soft, bnt that the two-inch
guage is the largest that should be
used under any circumstances where
no steam roller is employed.
IL. Never be without your ring
guage; remember Macadam's ad-
vice, that any stone you cannot
easily put into your mouth should
be broken smaller.
IL. Use chips, if possible, for
binding newly stones together,
and remember that road sweepings,
horse droppings, soda or grass and
other rubbish when used for this
purpose, will ruin the best road
ever constructed.
10. Remember that water. worn
or rounded stones should never be
used upon steep gradients, or they
will fail to bind together.
IA, Never allow dust or mud to
lie on the surface Of the roads, for
either of these will double the cost
OF maintenance
Is. Recollect that dust becomes
mud at the first shower, and that
mud forms wet blanket which
will keep the road in filthy con
dition for weeks at q time, instead
of allowing it to dry in a few hours.
Is. Remember that the middle
Of the road should always be lit
tie higher than the sides, so that
the rain may run into the side gut
tiers at once.
II. Never allow the water tables,
g, tiers and bitches to clog up, but
keep them clear the whole year
through.
