A sENsEIEss FuEp.

The ST. Louis democrat" says that
in the vast grazing. districts of Texas,
New Mexico, and Colorado there is a
bitter fued going on between the grow
ers Of sheep and the growers of cattle.
The cattle men cannot abide the sheep
men, and the sheep men are equally hos
tile to the cattle men, though their
focks and herds get along quite. comfor-
tably together 1t has been declared
that western TEXAS end Colorado shall
be made all one thing or all the other,
and as the sheep interest is much the
lightest just now, it is suffering a great
deal. Only short time ago two men
in Southern Colorado, made dash at
1900 sheep which were quietly feeding
on the plains, a stampede was effected,
the sheep we're scattered for several
miles around the country, 100 head
were shot dead and nearly 100 head
more wounded. One of the party en-
gagged in the outrage has been arrested
and brought to Denver, and hunters are
OH the track of the other.

70 Rsnovate Carpets.

A teaspoonful Of liquid ammonia in
one gallon of warm water will often
restore the color of carpets, even if pro.
duced by acid or alkali. If ceiling
has been whitewashed with carpet
down, and few drops are visible, this
will remove it. Or, after the carpet is
well beaten and brushed, scour with OK
gall, which will not only extract grease
but freshen the colors One pint OF
gall in three gallons warm water will
do for a large carpet. Table floor
cloths may be thus washed The suds
left from wash, where ammonia is
used, even if almost cold, cleanses these
new foor-cloths very we'll.

Recipe FOR Curing Meat.
J. G. WILLIAMS.

The Germantown Telegraph gives
the following To one gallon of wa
ter take Il lbs. of salt, ! ID, Of sugar,
] OF. of saltpeter. ] OF. Of potash; in
this ratio the pickle can be increased
to any quantity desidered. Let these
be boiled together until all the dirt
from the sugar rises to the top and is
skinned off. Then throw it into
tub to cool, and, when cold, pour it
over your beef or pork, to remain the
usual tlme-say four OF FIVE weeks.
The meat must be we'll covered with
pickle and should not be put down for
at least two days after killing, during
which time slightly sprinkle, with pow
dered saltpeter, which removes all the
surface -blood, &c, leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling
the pickle, and find it to answer well
through the operation of boiling puri
fies the pickle by throwing off the dirt
always to be found in salt and sugar.
If this recipe is properly tried, it will
never be abandoned. There is Mons
that surpasses it, if so good.

cost of the entire work was about sixty :
five millions of francs, one half of

ALDERNEY AND JERSEY COWS.

AS TO the name of the Jersey cow
all over England and in this country
she is often called the Aiderncy, which
is Incorrect, and seems to have grown
out of this fact: Liverpool vessels trad
ing with the Channel Islands usually
made Attorney their last stopping place
on the way home, and may perhaps
have taken on board a few head of cat
tie in addition to the large number they
took at Jersey, and on their arrival in
England were reported as from Alder
ney, and to the cattle brought was thus
given the name Attorney. But the
Attorney cows, although celebrated,
are rarely exported, the foreign markets
being chiefly supplied from Jersey and
Guernsey. The truth is, that the real
Attorney COW is not considered equal
to the Jersey. The farmers upon that
island are not as careful in breeding as
are the farmers of Jersey, and the cattle
OF the latter are by law pure bred, the
Legislature of the island having, in
1888, passed an ordinance prohibiting
the importation, under heavy penalty.
Of COW, heifer or bull. The Jersey and
Alderney cows are, however, SO nearly
alike IN size, form and color, and in
their general appearance, that when
together in herds, no very marked
difference is covered except to a very
skillful eye. The Guernseys are gen
orally regarded as a distinct breed
The difference between them and the
Jerseys is sufficiently marked to be
easily perceptible. The color of the
Gurneys is for the most part red, or
reddish brown, the bulls darker; where
as that Of the Jersey COWS is naturally
fawn and white, deer, mouse, or
French gray mixed with fawn and
white, the bulls being generally darker
about the head and neck. The Cur
neys are also somewhat larger and
coarser, and are deficient in some of
those peculiarly striking marks about
the eye and muzzle 80 much admired
in the Jerseys. They are, however,
very highly esteemed as breed, and
the COWS are regarded as excellent for
butter.
