The New Trinidad Asphalt Com
pany, an American concern. controls
both this concession and the recent
ly abrogated Bermudez concession in
Venezuela. The Trinidad property
has several distinct advantages over
the Bermudez lake.
The possibility for exhaustion OF
the former seems more remote-the
Venezuelan lake, although ten times
the area, is but 30 feet deep. It's sur
face is submerged in water, rendering
the extraction OF the product more
difficult, and 40mile haul TO the
seacoast adds to the cost of placing
It on the market.
For the preparation OF paving and
roofing materials the Trinidad variety
has been found the better adapted,
but the purer Venezuelan article is
used largely in the preparation OF
varnish. Danger attends the shipping
of the Bermudez pitch in bulk in the
holds of the steamers, as the slight
est list to one side or the other tends
to cause disastrous flow of the pitch
to that side.
The Trinidad manager. Of the asphalt
company and the clerks in the Offices

quarters down on the pier, where cool

MAUD MULLER's NEW RAKE.
Haymaking as Conducted on the Great
Ranches of the West.

Ilaying now on the big ranches OF
the west is very different PROPOSE
tion from what it was in the days
when Maud Muller and her wooden
rake caught the eye of the poet.
During most of the summer the on
ly harvesting done is with the teeth
of the grazing cattle, but there an
rlves a time when winter feed must
be prepared, and then comes the hay
ing crew.
Where circumstances permit half
dozen mowers are used, one behind
the other, each drawn by three horses
and cutting a seven-foot swath. Fol
lowing these are giant rakes which
windrow the grass and prepare 1t for
the stacker.
along and carry the hay to the stack
er, sometimes nearly ton at load.
The haysweep and the stacker are
two ofthe greatest labor saving de-
vices ever invented.
The sweep is a great strong rake
with teeth from six to eight feet long
carried on low wheels and running
ahead of the team. by means of 1t
the hay is fed to the stacker, which
does the rest.
Everything is done as by clockwork.
The head mower lays out the land to
suit the stacker, and in this way the
entire crew Is kept busy, the stack.
ing Immediately following the cutting
A seven-foot mower with three horses
will cut from fifteen to twenty acres
a day, and the whole haying outfit will
stack rs tons in that time. On the
larger ranches several of these outfits
are kept going at the same time for
weeks.
Contrary to the experience of east
ern farmers, hay put up the same day
1t is cut does not rot in the stack. The
old idea of curing hay until dry has
been proved wrong by a thousand
tests on Nebraska ranches. The cur
ing it gets in the windrow is all it
needs.
Il must not be supposed, however,
that the labor saving-machinery has
driven all the Maud Mullers out OF
the hayraiing business. On many
ranches here in northwest Nebraska
Maud Mulers raking hay with huge
horse rakes or running stackers, put
ting up dozens OF tons of hay day,
may be seen at any time from July
until October-only they won't give
any Judge dipper full of water to
drink. TO stop for moment would
delay the remainder of the crew, and
the best Maud Muller can do is to
point to the jug and thus save any
vain regrets.-New York Sun.

10000 PoRcuPINEs KILLED.
And Demands for Bounty Have Almost
Swamped State Treasurer.

Swamped State Treasurer.
Although only seven days have
passed since the close OF the State
porcupine year, November 30, the re-
turns OF porcupines killed and paid
for by the towns and plantations un'
der the bounty act OF last winter, are
beginning to swamp the State treas.
urer's office rapidly. They come in
rolls, some Of them as large as a
mans arm. One roll was so big that
the postage on It was 40 cents. The
State had 10000 blanks printed and
a Portland firm had as many more.
From one to forty dead porcupines
are represented by each blank on
which n return Is made. An official
says that when the returns are all in
they will show that 10000 porcupines
were killed in the year.
or the towns and plantations which
have reported thus far, Whiting, In
Washington county, shows the largest
number of bounty paying porcupines,
SAG, which, at % cents each, will cost
the State s16l50. The other places
which have thus far reported are Med
ford, 1876; Prospect. 2S5; Harrington,
eS; the town of Dedham and Planta-
tions of Macwahoc, Long and High
land.
The appropriations to pay the boun-
ties for the year is $500, and It is
thought the returns already in will
nearly use this up. 1t is limited that
one of the first acts of the next legisla-
ture may be to repeal the porcupine
bounty law. The hunters are mostly
boys. Many farmers think they do
more damage by setting fires than
they do good by killing porcuplnes.-
