He had been tried for murder and can- tenced to be hanged and the day named, and as I happened to be in town on that day the Gllcrlfl invited me to witness the erection. Half a dozen of us accom- l pooled him to the cell of the condemned I at the proper hour and he said to the man:â€" “Well, movin'." “Folks all ready outside?" asked Jim. “ Yes, all ready. Thor's a. big crowd to see yg' go and I hope yo' won't make no fuss." ' “Ray Bill," said the condemned after a mmmt's thought, “I've concluded not to be hung." "Shoo! Why . ye' Jim, it's about time tobe was reg'lariy sen- ' tenced. ” "Yes, I know, but‘l'm going 'to kick ' sgln it. I didn’t her no fa’r show." "it was as frir as could be, "Jim, ‘and only yistsrday you agreed not 'to make etiy‘fuuln'. 'Pears like yo’ don't want to do the right thing; by me." “Yes, I do,but this yore hanging don't do a man no good. Liebbe I'll hang next v.'-.::ek,but (.urn my hide it I do it to-day. , Just go on‘ tell the folks that it's put off.” “Shoo! Shoo!" grumbled the sherifl’, “the law says yo' ar' to be hung between the hours of 10 and 19 o’clock. Don’t be contrary, Jim. Jest git ready and come out and be hung like a man. Hain't I used yo' all right?" “Yes. reckon so.” “Gin yo’ plenty to eat and a good bed?” If Yp8.|1 "Then why go back on me? If I don't b "in yo' Wl2:;;'»‘ the Governor gwine to so; 'bout it? What's the Judge gwinc to do? I ain't asking yo' to hang 'causc yo‘ killed for ole woman, but to ohleege me.” “Is that it! Would you, Bill?" "It would, Jimâ€"a big favor. Yo' couldn't do nuthin‘ to obleege me mo'." "And yo'll remember it of me?” “I will and if I kin ever do yc' a good uru yo' kin count on me." “Well, then," said Jim, as he rose up, “I reckon yo' kin go ahead with the hangin’. I don't keer fur the Governor no.- tin Judge, but when a fellcr has use; me white I’m willin' to do him a favor and won't go back on him.

Beef Compmuvely bay. The illustration represents an apparatus which makes the skinning and dressing of beef on the farm a comparatively easy matter. In the crotch or fork of a good~ sized tree place one end of a stout pole. Beet the other end on a fork formed by fastening together two four by four inch scantlings or other similar timbers by means of a rope or stay chain and spreading apart at the bottom. To the pole or cross piece attach two strong ropes, long enough to reach the ground. Tie to the ends of these ropes a 8 by 3 inch oak or other hard wood scant-ling four feet long with two pins inserted in either end at right angles to each other. About 8 inches from each and of the square timber round off a space about three inches long on which place two iron rings. To the rings attach iron books or ‘1“N “\Nwaw Shh \t stay chains. After the animal is killed and hind logs are skinned, insert the hooks in the large tendon above the hook joint. Two men, one at each end of the gamble, can easily lift the carcass, either raising it oil the ground at once ora short distance at a time. It can be se~ cured at any height by means of a rope, A, which is arranged with a series of loops. These are slipped over the turning pins or handles and thus prevent un- winding. As the skinning proceeds the men will have to stand on barrels or some other elevation to enable them to swing the carcass clear of the ground. This apparatus can he need for lifting hogs, sheep, etc., but need not be made so strong or tell. The whole thing is entirely home-made and easily con- structed. If no tree is convenient to sup port one end of the pole, a post can be set in its place, or three rails, fastened near the top and set up like a tripod, will do very well.â€"â€"J. E. Henry, in Farm and Home. Relieving Clicked Cattle. Choking in cattle is usually caused by swallowing a potato, apple, piece of turnip or carrot, or a piece of corncob. No matter what part of the guilet it is lodged in, it causes great distress. The animal coughs, saliva runs from the mouth, eyes bulge out, back is arched and bloating also takes place. If it is in the upper part of the gullet, the animal soon dies from suffocation. If it is in the middle or lower part. the animal may live for several days. If is in the upper part of the gullet, give a little oil and then rub the hand up and down the throat to scatter the accumulation. It may be necessary to give a little oil several times, and continue the rubbing, as it may take some time to overcome the choking. In case no oil is at hand, a similar attempt may be made by pour- ing down some water. If the obstruction cannot be forced up or down by oiling and rubbing the gui- let, use a probang, which is made of spiral wire covered with leather, and which will bend with the neck. There is also a gag to put in the mouth, with a hole in the center through which the prchang passes. Oil the probang and let one man take hold of the animal’s horns or cars, while another passes the probang through a hole in the gag and back into the guilet. Press gently until the object is felt, then by steady pressure it will pass into the stomach. Too much force should not be used in case of rupturing the gullet. No unyielding article should be pressed down the gullet, as it is al- most suro to rupture. If a probang is not convenient, take a. picce of rope about 1% to 1 inch in diameter, frizz out a little of the end, and tie a piece of string around it to form a soft knot. grease this well and it will supply the l place of a probang. In cases where an animal cannot be relieved by this treatment. cut down on the gullet with a knife, making an incis- ion and removing the material. Clean the wound and bring the edges of the gullot together firmly with silk thread or catgut, letting the ends hang out of the external wound, bring the edges of Great Sacrifice ! the skin together. put a bandage around l and keep it wet with cold water for twenty-four hours,and it will usually heal. Give the animal soft food for some days, 1 or if a probung was used and the gullet not cut, give soft foil-.1 two or three days. _â€"-.-\merican Agriculturlst.
