corn, granary after granarY Of plump

The Reunion.

The Long Island Leader has this
TO say Of the closing days OF the re-
union:
There were probably more people
present on Thursday the 18th, than
any other day of the reunion. This
was Woodmen's day, and the mem
bers of that craft came in from the
surrounding country, from Norton,
Almena, ODerlin, PhIllipSburg, Lo-
gan and some points in Nebraska
which swelled the crowd to from T.
500 to 5000 people. The Wood
mems parade took place at 10 a. m.
preceded by the Long Island martial
Dand and a decorated saw log upon a
wagon with cross cut saw half bur-
ried near the end Of the log. Chief
Forester Sedmsn made quite a gro-
tesque appearance, dressed in long
white gown and bushy hair hanging
down to his shoulders, as he mounted
the log and and drove the team at
the head OF the Woodmen column
The long column OF Woodmen pre-
sented quite military appearance
in their white jacket uniforms and
carrying their bronzed Woodmen
axes, as they marched from town
down to the grounds.
Head Consul e. A. Enrigbt, OF
X ansas City, Kansas, then addressed
the audience mainly upon matters
interesting to Woodmen. After din.
ner, the Woodmen gave an exhibition
of their drill, semi. military in char
acter, after which Judge Gelger, Of
Oberlin, and Mr.. Enright both sd.
dressed the people upon Woodme1
and patriotic subjects.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Wash the harness with soap and
water before oiling.
We repeat, that corn, wheat and oats
will not be permanently lower than
they are at present.
Corn fodder may be shredded, but
not:perfectly, by running it through an
old threshing machine.
A threshing machine boiler that is
too small to do the work, is always
dangerous from over-pressure.
A farmer say Is that he kills Canada
thistles in the pasture by piling ma
nure. on them thick enough to smother
them. @E>-
Put buggy beans or peas in tight box
and put little cup of bisulphide of
carbon on top, being careful that no
fire is near. g..
Wheat, independent of interest on
land, ought to be grown at six dollars
an acre at most. Eight, or even ten
bushels, per acre, will not pay. ..r,s~ ~,.,..s
Be careful to SOW only the cleanest
timothy seed. Weeds in timothy make
bad work, worse than clover. though
they are bad enough there.-Western

Electrical Sheep shear1nr.

Farming by electricity is now recog-
nized fact. Electricity drives the plow
churn, thrasher, and other implements
and stimulates the sprouting and grow
ing Of some kinds of vegetation. And
now, at Great Falls, in Montana, which
is becoming the great wool-growing
state, 20 machines for shearing sheer
are arranged in a long, narrow she'd
open on one side. Asingle line of shaft
ing extends overhead, and from this 20
flexible cables fall. The shaft, by means
of universal JOINTS" cause each cable
to rotate, and the cable transmits its
power to the clipper by means of SINH
lar connections. A man needs only to
steer the clipper around. The blades
work themselves. A small electric mo-
TOT of six horsepower drives the line
Of shafting. The motor is such as is
used under trolley car, and takes its
current from trolley line. The 20 ma
chimes operated for nearly three weeks
and sheared 1854 sheep, averaging
nearly 100 sheep a day per machine ~.

moments Just as the breath was about to
leave his body, one Of the physicians, gen
tleman Of culture, and a graduate Of one Of
our best colleges, remarked: "Poor fellow, he
looks badly" At this the dying man opened
his eyes, jumped up in bed, and shouted:
'''Who is the villain who desecrates my
Dc tho BY his sol Ihea he ared
am not looking badly. I admit I look bad,
but not badly, for am not cross.eyed.' =
And from that moment he began to re.
cover, while the canker of remorse began its

many days his name was to be found in the
