New Mexico Farmers.

Lucy Stone, who has been lately preaching woman-suffrage in Colorado, writes that the Mexicans there have no plows, but stir the ground with a crooked stick. To thrash grain they lay it in a large circle and turn horses or a flock of goats upon it. Two or three men then drive the animals repeatedly round, until the wheat is trodden out. The straw is then thrown up with a fork or with sticks, and the chaff is blown away. Such wheat as may be required for family use is washed by the women, and that which is sold remains unwashed. What a Chicken Swallowed. Last Wednesday Mr. Hughes, residing in Oakland, lost in his garden a gold quartz sleeve-button, weighing nearly half an ounce. On Saturday his wife killed a chicken, and from its crop was taken the missing sleeve-button, and also a brass half-inch screw and a flat piece of braes half an inch long and a quarter of an inch wide. The ..singular part of the affair is that the under part of the sleeve-button, which when lost was quite straight, was very much bent when taken from the chicken.— San Francisco Call.
