Handsome Revenue From Two Cows.
Possibly s62.50 year Is not an ex-
traordinary revenue from two cows;
but still 1t is pretty good. Mr.. E. G.
Pursley, Of the Zadok neighborhood,
makes report Of such an income dur
ling the past year. He was in Yorkville
Saturday with several pounds Of but
ter for the local market, and he re-
marked to the reporter that the
"churning" then in hand rounded out
an even 500 pounds that had been fur
nished by two cows during the 365
days since May 1, 1902. Mr.. Pursley
said that most of the butter had been
sold at 12a cents pound; but some

Mr.. sherrer's Mineral Spring.
Mr.. L. B.. Sherrer is seeking to de-
velop and exploit a mineral spring on
his place a short distance beyond Sut-
toms spring. This spring, he says, has
been known for more than q genera
tion before he was born, and its wa
ters have long been recognized as be-
ing possessed Of unusual medicinal
properties, large numbers Of people
having been benefited by their use.
1t has only recently occurred to Mr..
Sherrer however, to have the waters
analyzed. He sent samples to Glenn
son college last month and a few days
ago received a report showing up over
"a per cent. Of minerals, as follows:
Carbonate Of lime, 8.O57; magnesia,
3.142; gypsum, 4.676; sodium sulphate,
3,405; potassium sulphate, .S75; sodi-
um chloride, 1.05S; iron, .058; silica,
1896. The analysis showed absolute
freedom from all injurious substances.
Quite a number of Yorkville people
have made trips to the spring recent
ly and all Of them claim to be able
to distinguish valuable properties in
the waters.
