OtptttF# of Cta!Ii TUmt Ww StoloK udd K«ared hy Wolf. Some montlw a woman living uu tlie banks of the Braxoe,in Texas, missed her three month's old baby from the pallet where she had left it lying during the absence of a few minutes. Search was made for the infant, but no trace of it could be discovered, and the whole affair was wrapped in profound mystery until a few day* ago. A party of gentlemen

riding through a somewhat unfrequented portion of the thick woods that

it standing beside the desk of tin I border the river, when they were startled Utor.aire bank president, Richard Cu by seeii% a strange object run across the '. Esq.. and it was to bh» that he ad road. Thinking at first sight that it was used his remarks.

The gentlemen dismounted and attempted to lay hands upon it, but chattering frightiully, and savagely biting and scratching, ft broke away from them. They could see that it had a human face, though the brown body was covered with long, tangled hair, and the nails of its feet and hands were so long and curved as to be claws. It ran with incredible swiftness, getting over fallen trees and deuw masses of creepers at a rate that obliged its pursuers to exert themselves to the utmost to keep it in view. It finally ran into an immense oak tree that lay uprooted in the ground, and the hallow trunk of which formed 8 yawning cavern. By the dint of poking in the tree with sticks, the party succeeded in driving out an old wolf which immediately took to it* heels. It was not pursued, as it was not the object sought. This, too, was finally dislodged and lassoed with a lariat made of hides. It bit and scratched so fiercely that it was thought advisable not to approach it, as it was half dragged, half led home with the lariat about'it* neck, howling and yelping like a wolf.

The fact of the negro woman's child having disappeared was well-known to all, and it was decided that this must be the child. The old wolf had evidently stolen it and for some reason adopted i« as its own. The mother declared that this conjecture was correct, claiming that her child had a malformation of one ear, which peculiarity was found on the monster. It is kept tied up in her cabin, suffering no one to lay hands upon it,and is* fed on raw meat, as it refuses to touch any other food. The woman has hope? that she may reawakein the human in it, but, in the meantime, she is reaping a harvest from the crowds who come 'aily from all parts of the country to iuspect the strange creature.

It weighed about l.LHH) pounds and was about an iiu'h and a third thick. After being put into a reservoir of pure watet to green it, it was beaten one hour every day with an iron on a large anvil. Aiter IK1Ing

ten days in pure water, it was left for another ten days in water with about 4 per cent, of salt. Then it was replaced in pure water again for twenty days. During those forty days it was constantly in soak. The head and feet, weighing about ','00 pounds, were then removed, and the skin hung on spikes in the drying room. After hanging one day it was put in a vat containing potash and a small quantity of sulphur of sodium in the following porportions: Water, 1,000 parts, slacked lime, twenty-five parts: potash, thr«e parts sulphur of stodium, two parts. After being two days in this bath, it was rinsed in pure water of a temperature of twenty degrees, when it was again placet! iti the drying room. Aflier this double ojieration was repented, the skin was ready to have the hair taken off. This operation occupied about one dav's time, and gave about 75 pounds of hair. Another day was spent in cleaning and scraping. By this time it lost 510 per tent, its weight. The operation of its preparation lasted two months, and it went, through the same course as cowhide, with the difference that each phase of the work took three times as much time. The skin should 1h» stretched in the pit, and placed in the middle of cowhides. Six layers of |Kwder are then thrown in, two first, two second, and two third lay ers. Altogether the tanning takes three years. The partition of time is thus Becoming green, forty days: worked, sixteen days preparation, fifty days repetition, sixty days first pit (double) 200 days second pit (double), 3W days third j*it (double) 400 days.

The Department of Agriculture.

recognize the fact that live-stock breed-1

ing has under gone a great change in the last twenty years. The founding within this time of forty or more live-stock associations, each publishing a pedigree record of the breed to which it is sptr cially devoted, attests the wonderful addance in the breeding and dissiminatiou of pure-bred stock throughout our land,

Public records of breeding stock are no)

in the animal itself. What will wheat be worth at threshing time, and is it advisable that we sow more or that we sow less than usual next fall The information gathered and analyzed by the department of agricul ture, and given us from month to month, is intended to help determine such questions, and we are disposed to rely on the conclusions reached by the departs ment.

We recently sold several good horses from the farm, and have been thinking of replacing them with as many brood mares. Tlie Percheron or Clydesdale breeders tell us there is no danger of the heavy draft horse business ever being over done here. The Cleveland Bay breeders fissure us of a great future de mand for coach horses, and breeders of trotting, pacing and running horses each insists that his resiective favorites are at the front, or rapidlj' coming there, and that we shalii make a mistake if we stock up with other than what they recommend.

We turn to the department of agriculture. Its stores of information throw no light on the future of horse breeding. It tells not which breeds have been or now are in the greatest demand, nor does it even approximate the number of purebred horses in the country. The time was when carefully gathered statistics, showing annually the number of horses and eattle of different ages, as well as of sheep and swine, in each State, was all that we could expect. Values were then being based on age, the animal being near or remote from its highest value for use or for market according to its age.

The breeding and rearing of live-stock on the farm is in many respects quite different now from what it was some years ago, and it seems fitting th a responding change should be made in the series of questions given out by the department of agriculture for its correspondents to answer.

I will venture to say that it would be of greater interest to hundreds of breeders and farmers, to know, for example the number of pure-bred sires of a given breed, used in a given territory or in the State at large, then to know the whole number of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep grown during the year in the same lo calitv.

Laying Out a Half-Mile Track. The American Agriculturist gives thf following directions and diagram in re ply to a question how to lay out a half mile track. "Measure off two straight parallel lines, each 600 feet long and 42£ feet 6 inches apart, connected at each end with a perfect semi-circle (radius 226 feel 8 inches) To make the curves, drive stake midway between the ends of tlu parallel lines and attach to it a wire 22*

tjtS*

3 inches in the clear, with a loop at the end to turn upon the stake, litis will, from the center stake, exactly reach the ends of the parallel side lines. Describe the curve by carrying the free end around one end of the line to tlie other, putting down a stake every twelve feet. Repeat this at the other end, making a continuous line. This line is the inside of the track, exactly upon which the fence may be placed. A line measured all around three feet from tlie fence will be exactly half a mile."

On Watering Slock.

A writer iu the Chicago Prairie Farmer sensibly remarks: It might be supposed that any one who wants a drink of water for himself would think of watering his stock, but man is a selfish animal, and is apt to think of his own wants first, ljist and all the time. These being satisfied he gives himself r»o further thought or trouble about the rest of creation. When the finer feelings of humanity will not prompt him, the more sordid ones of selfinterest may, though there are many who will not be prompted even by this.

Stock may have an abundance of dry food of the very best quality, and fed to them at regular and proper intervals of time, but it will not thrive on these unless it lias access to water whenever desired, to supply necessary moisture to tlie system, assist digestion and make pure blood. .Running streams of water cannot be had in every pasture, field, but substitutes can be supplied by artificial means. Wells can be put down, and pumps introduced to bring the water up, troughs can be placed to receive it, and stock can be watered at these troughs.

When stock becomes very thirsty by being kept from water too long a time, there is danger of it drinking too much but when it has access to water frequently, theie is no danger of this. Young stock requires watering more frequently than older ones, as it drinks less at a time. Some farmers water their stock once a day, some two, some three times this may do tolerably well in tlie winter for full grown stock, when the weather is very cold but during the warm weather of summer when the days are long, thirst will be very injurious to stock running to pasture.

As a rule, if you want to make money on stock it must have the best care, if must have food and water regularly, must be kept clean, and in every way made comfortable at all seasons of tlie year, must not be frightened, scolded, whipped, nor in any way abused. If you cannot make up your mind to treat stock in this manner, you had better sell out and go into some other business.

isng(MtioiM for the Dairy.

If your business Ls to supply milk for the city market, then get the most liberal milk producers you can find. Test each cow efore you introduce her into yotu dairy. You cannot afford to have worthless milkers at any priee. The Holstein and its grades are giving satisfaction where quantity is desired. If your business is butter making, then look for a differt nt quality in your purchases. It is reasonable to believe that the Jersey will answer your purpose letter than any other distinct breed. Thev are soecialtiea in this line cf business, and consequently are looked upon as the better cow. Their grades, where made up of good milking and butter qualities on the other side, are even more desirable as tlie "all purpose cow.

It is a fact, that there are more big beef cows employed in the milk dairy business in the vicinity of towns and cities than all the milk and butter strains combined. And this is the main reason that tlie business has proven unprofitable with these dairymen. Many valuable cows for tlie range and breeding herds have thuis been diverted from their created purpose, and in their illegitimate calling they have forced poverty and ruin upon their owners. Their capacity for devouring feed is not balanced by tlie milk product and the shortage is made up by adding water. The per cent, is so great, however, that the dairyman loses his trade and reputation, all because tlie proper means were not employed in the start in selecting daircows for tlie dairv.

TBITTMPHS OV ELECTRICITY.

HAW It i* Used in Tanning and in Holding OUh** on Steainahip Table*.

Tlie report comes from France that tlie entire process of tanning hides of al kinds is being revolutionized by electricity. By the pre eat process the conver «on of hides into leather requires from six to twelve months' time. Much experience is required to conduct the opera tion properly. With the greatest care and the best facilities many of the hides are imperfectly tanned. A .large plant is required when several thousand hide? are to be converted into leather in thf course of a year. Large 'capital is also needed, as the raw material purchased cannot be put into a form tliat can be sold for a long time. It costs le to fit up a tannery than it does a cotton factory, but the products of the latter can be sold at the end of each day's opera tion.

By the electrical process light hides, like those of the sheep and goat, are tanned in twenty-four hours. Calfskin? are converted into leather in three days, and oxhides in less than a week. It i.° claimed that tlie operation of tanning if perfectly performed, while the cost is reduced one-half. Only one-fifth as many men are required to tan a given numbei of hides. A tannery that employs the electrical process may be a very small af fair, and still do a great amount of work. But little capital is required to operate it, as the hides bought one week can be sold the next.

The process described in the French papers is a very simple one. The prepared hides a.e placed in large cylinders which revolve upon horizontal axes. A decoction of tannin is placed in the cy linder with the hides and a current of electricity is kept passing through it.

Aluminum is being separated from thr oxide by means of an electric current. The oxide is dissolved by some metallic flouride, and the pure metal is deposited in a fused form. The substance employed as a solvent can be used for an indefinite time, as none of it is wasted or decomposed by the electrical action.

Another use for electricity has been found in a device for holding dishes on a table set in the dining room of an ocean steamer. It consists of a small piece of iron sunk into the bottom of each dish which touches a wire rendered magnetic by means of a current

Wire Cable*.

The following about a cable that wa* recently removed from the California street cable road will be of interest:

The diameter of the cable was an inch and a quarter when it was laid, but twenty months of constant hauling and wear* thinned it down to nearly an eighth of an inch.

Its length was 17,513 feet and its weight is 604 pounds. For nineteen hours a day it kept moving every day for the twenty months, and as its speed was seven milef an hour, the distance it traveled was 79, 800 miles. It carried nearly 6,000,00C people, or about six times the population of the State, and turned over to the com$400,000 worth of nickels, being at the rate of $15,000 a month or $500 a day. As tlie total power of the road is 401' power, it may be calculated this rope was doing as much hauling while in motion as 200 horses, and as each car pulled by horses uses four teams a day, the daily work of this cable was equal to that of 800 horses, with a deduction, however, for the great power required to move 44,604 pounds of cable.

Tlie cable was comp sed of six strand? of steel wire cables, each one containing nineteen wires, varying in size from six io eight wire guuge, and twisted around a stout hempen core, five-eights of an inch in diameter.—[Pacific Lumberman

Beware the Mixeil Drink.

"AV'hy does a man weaken quickei under mixed drinks than straight'/" a barkeeper was asked by a Memphis Ava lanche reporter. "For two reasons," he replied. "In the fir*t place, a uood deal more liquor goes into a mixed drink, likr a punch or julep, than you think. In the next place the liquor used in making is generally of worse quality,- or newer anyway, than that set out for Gusto men who take theirs straight There is no! one man in twenty who can tell the difference after the drink its mixed and flavored. •*The mint julep is the most ticklish tipple o? all, because you suck it through a straw and inhale the fumes of the liquor. Mixed drinks Me not as popular in Memphis as they are North. Hie re suit is that there is a much better article of whisky sold the good saloons here than you can find in most of the finest places in New York, Chicago, or Cincinnati. I know it because I've practiced On both sides of the bar in nearly every big city in this country. Tlie meanest whisky is always to be found in a beet town. Cincinnati,j8t Louis, and Milwaukee. for instance. New Orleans sells mostly "blended" stuff, but it is better than you can get North."
