Buffalo Banting.
The half-breeds ol portiouzof British
America organize regular huufct, auil
on such occasions they take all t|relr
household effects with them. The wo
men and children are stowed away in
rude carts, and the men ride the mus
tangs which are to play so prominent a
part In the chase. As the long calva
cade winds over the grass-clad prairie,
made gay with many species of bril i
ant llowers, it presents an inspiriting
sight, and recalls, in a small way, the
advance of an army. When it reaches
the buffalo grounds a camp is pitched
in a convenient locality, close to wood
and water, if possible, and, alter that
is done, the leader takes his men to tue
leeward of a herd, and distributes them
in such a manner that they may be able
to drive it toward the eneampmen*, in
older to avoid s; a o is ini.cli is p>i
sibie ingathering up the meat, ihey
some, imas place buffalo 'chip-*' msuch a
manuei ou the praries as to make them
lock like men, and, when the herd see*
these, it breaks away lroiu them, and
heads perhaps for the camp, where an.
oilier party of hunters Is ready to re
eeive it. When everything is arranged
the men close in gradually 011 the
thousands of shaggy creatures that del
the plum, probably is far as the eye
can see,and, on arriving within charg
ing distance, they dash on at the bes 1
speed of their horses. Then commences
a scene to which uo pencil can do lull
justice. Tlio alarmed through, on see-
L g their toes, break away in wild ter
ror. the cows being generally at the
head oft ho column, owing to their
great fleetness and lightness and the
calves being next to them, while the
burly bulls close the rear and lianas.
This terrified host caused the ground
to fairly tremble beneath Its weight,
and the noise of its, movements may be
heard a long distance off, as It is not
uulike the roai of an advancing hur
ricane. When the hunters range
alongside the crowding multitude they
use rifle and revolver so ragidly that
the noise sounds like the firing ot a
heavy body of skirmishers. Ihey re*
quire few shots to kill an animal, one
or two being generally sufficient; tor
their trained buffalo runners carry
them so close to the herd that a bullet
can be planted in whatever portion ol
the body the hunter wishes. The re
sult Is that, in a run ot perhaps twenty
miles, a thousand or two animals may
be lying on the ground, and in some
instances double that number. When
the recall is sounded, the horsemen re
turn and devote their attention to the
wounded, and soon put them out ol
their misery. The carts follow the
hunters and gather up the meat, and
the greater portion of that Is, in a tew
hours, ready to be placed on the dry
ing stages, while the hides are being
prepared for curing. When the ex
pedition returns after the grand hunt,
which sometimes lasts for weeks, its
members have meat enough to feed
them for several mouths, and many a
buffalo robe with which to provide
clothing and luxuries for their families.
A Gluttonous Eagle.
Eagles frequent the forests of the
higher S erra. When the winter stores
prevail, they must have a serious time
in getting food, it is scarcely to be
wondered at, therefore, that one was
lound recently feeding upon the body
ot a cow that was killed on the
Sierra Valley road. This cow,
became crazed by the storm,
aud'.os&ed the horses, sleigh
driver and a lady passenger of Dar
ling's mall sleigli out of the road into
the snow. For this she was killed, and
the eagle was found by her partly con
sumed carcass. Mr. ilines of the Ban
ner mill, and another passenger were
coming in from the valley 0:1 the mail
sleigh, and noticing that the eagle did
not fly away, attempted to frighten it.
They then discovered that the bird bad
actually glutted it self until it was un
able to fly. Mr. ilines tried to catch
lr. fn order to bring it alive to Truckee.
linking waist deep in the loose snow
at every step, Mr. Ilines could make
but a sorry pursuit, and tiie eagle, b\
flapping its great wings and vigorous
ly using its beak and talon 2, managed
to keep out of his reach, lie followed
it for some time, and once or twice came
iicux* overtaking it. There was a revol
ver in the sleigh, but the men very
humanely forcbore to use it against the
poor bird. They describe the eagic as
being very large and powerful, and as
having magnificent wings.
A Woiiuerful Mcsuierizer.

merizur named Buni, whose magnetic
power would appear to be lound quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which he exclusively exerts it. lie

Invited to bring all manner of ferocious
and untamable wild beasts, and holds
them with his glittering eye. In a few
seconds they subside into a condition
ot cataleptic stiffness from which they
can ouly be revived by certain passes
which he solemnly executes with hi*
right hand. A snake in a state of vio
lent irritation was brought to Buni by
a menagerie proprietor, inclosed in a
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and hissing
fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and
fixed his eyes upon its occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's
restless head. In less than a minute the I
snake stretched itself out, stiffened and j
lay apparently dead. Buni took it up |
and thrust several needles into its
body, bHt it gave no sign of life. A few
passes then restored it to its former
angry activity. Subsequently a savage
dog, held in a leasli bjr its owner, was
brought in, and, at Buni's command,
let loose upon him. As it w r a rushing
towards him, bristling w r ith fury, he
raised his hand, and in a second the
fierce brute dropped upon its belly as

AGRICULTURE.
USINO rr OLD TIN CANS.—Collect all
the caus you may require, say lOOquait
cans; prepare a brigtitflre in the kitch
en stove, and have the cans close at
hand. Have a cloth In each hand;
plaee a can 011 the stove lid, and when
the solder which holds the top or bot
tom to the body begins to melt, place a
can ou the other lid and remove the
first one, and with an old kniie, old
tile, stove-lifter, or anything at hand,
knock oil' whichever end you may have
placed next the fire. In most cases it
will drop oil'. With the cloth in the
left hand hold a can, and with the right
hand wipe the melted solder from the
inside and outside of the edge quickly
beiore it sets. Remove the next can
ami replace it with another, and repeat
the operation until both ends ol the 100
cans are freed Horn their tops and bot
toms. You now have 100 tubes, 4\
inches long by 4 inches In di-tmeter,
lnosu 100 tubes can, with but little j
skill, bo converted into Ui leet i> inches
of 4-inch drain-pipe, which, to a farmer
or house owner, would bo worth more
than the original cost of 100 cans tilled
with tomatoes, in order to prepare
them so that the end of one tube will
outer oue-iourth of an inch inside ol
the other, take a tube in the left hand,
place one edge over the corner ola
nine tabic, if nothing more convenient
is at hand, and with u mallet, hammer,

CULTIVATE MURK Tuuxira.—We all
know the value of the turnip crop to
England. It has been asserted that the
interest of their immense debt is an
nually paid by the product of this erop.
As to the United States, we do not make
hull the use of tne turnip we might do,
by increasing tiie consumption of the
root and improvement in the manner 01
its cultivation. The great want ol our
winter-feed for cattle in succulence.
We some whit obviate this want by
using cut-feed moistened, but as a gen
eral thing hay and oats and corn and
water lonu the bulk of cattle-food.
Carrots, potatoes, rutabages and tur
nips are used at times, but to a very
iimited extent to what they might be.
One reason tor this limited use may be
in our old enemy, dear labor. In the
culture of the carrot, lor instance, there
is a great amount of hand-work. As
soon as the seeds are up, the plants
must be thinned, and alter every hoe
harrowing between the rows, hands
must go over again to keep the rank
weeds from smothering out the carrot
plants. Carrots are excellent horse
feed ; but few of us have this hand labor
to spare. It is so much easier to hoe
com in the hills both ways; though we
know how nice it is to have carrots
with corn, corn aloue has to do the
work, lliere is the same trouble with
the turnip, though iu a less degree to
be sure. Every single turnip lias to be
handled in pulling, every one has to be
gone over again and handled to take
the top off. If we could manage to do
this by machinery, as we do many
other things, so as to get rid of this
hand-labor business, no doubt the pro
duction would soon be doubled, and
use be found for an immense number
more thati is now dreamed 01. This
may come in time, for Yankee genius
is equal io any ad vat ot incut in tii<s di
rection.
FISTULA IN A HORSE - To cure a fis
tula in a horse rirst Jet it break. Then
u the time to cure. Get a goose-quill
for a probe and introduce the quill into
the place where the matter is running
out, and fliul the depih. Now take feu
cents worth ol caustic potash that can
be obtained at any drug-store, and
which is sold in small white sticks
lake about one inch of the stiwk and
lorce it into the place you have probed.
Force it weil to the bottom of the sore.
L t it remain until the matter or pus
gets black, say three to five minutes,
t'hen witn your hand press over the
place or sore and draw hard several
times to cleanse the sore well. Now
use the leather end ol the qui?l; dip
ping it in fish oil and insert it full of
oil; and eveiy day grease well with
t'.io oii. Do >ol use your caustic again
tinder leu days. If you see anything
like fistula matter in ten days, use your
caustic ae before. When you operate
get some old cloths to wipe off the
pus that runs out, or It will lake the
nair off the side of tiie horse. Keep
the sore weli cleansed. L have cured
a number of cases of fistula with the
above; also, poll evil. In tact, poll
evil and fistula are the same disease.
A ATS. —When these insects are trou
blesome in tiie garden fill small bottles
two-thirds with water, and then add
sweet oil to within an inch of the top;
plunge these into the ground near the
nests or hills, to within half an inch ol
the rim, and the insects coining for a
sip will get into the oil and perish, as
it tills the breathing pores. The wri

ot red ants in a shallow tin cover,
smeared with lard, the vessel having
accidentially been left in their track.
Another means of entrapping them,
suggested to me by Professor Glover,
many years ago, is to spilnkle sugar
into a dampened sponge near their
haunts to attract the insects. When
they have swarmed through the sponge

is reset until the majority of the insects
are killed.

Relation of the Liver to the General Sys
tem. —Professor LeCoute expresses his
believe that the waste tissue is curried
by the blood to the liver, and is there
separated into liver-sugar and urea, or
some substance which rapidly changes
into urea. Experiments made by Schifl
support this theory by proving tliat
venous blood is soon fatal to animals
il the liver is tied,but is not so it the liver
is free to act, the poisoning being slue
to decomposed tissues in the blood.
Combustion take place in the capilla
ries of the tissues under the influence
ot venous force, as the blood remains
for a longer time in the capillaries of
the tissue than in any other organ.
The blood acts as a reservoir not only
of oxygen but of food, and, if waste,
(he food taken in to-day is not used to
build up tissue to-day, but is taken
into circulation in the blood uud the
blood forms tissue and regenerates Itelf
from the supply of food—so tissue
waited to-day is carried by the Hood to
the liver, there decomposed into sugar
and urea, and so elirnina e I perhaps
the day after, or even longer.
