Taking Wild HOrsnR

The editor of the Pleasanton Stock
Journal thus gives the asodus o1oerahdi
OF capturing wild horses in Texas: GAS
soon as herd of horses is discovered.
the party OF hunters divide, one portion
striking camp while the other sets of
in pursuit of the herd. The frightened
animals go bounding across the prairie
through the prickly pear and dense
ch"pparral, leaving trail which the
hunters steadily pursue at an easy
gait, until they como in sight of the
herd, which scampers off as before.
These tactics ore kept up by pur-
suers for days, the mustangs re.
turning to their first starting
p:int-which they are sure to do
when the camping party takes the
place of the tired pursuers, and thus
follow the herd until the poor, wearied
and ha]f-starved creatures, with swol-
len limbs and bloodshot eyes, give up
the struggle and submit to be driven
anywhere. The object of the hunters
has been merely to keep close enough
to the mustangs to prevent them graz
ing. Starvation coon brings them to
terms, and the prairie monarch, with
dropping crest and detected look.
leaves his native wilds henceforth to
become the slave of man. This is what

wOOl.GrOvvinR = Success.

/
We are asked why wool-growers dc
not fail as other men sometimes do
we answer. simply because the growth
OF wool and tho increase is as perpetual
as the time in which they live. II
matters not how dark the nj ht is, the
wool continues to grow, and it matters
not how the wind blows or how it may
storm, CESSATION is never loneel
than $50 days. Tho lambs will average
one-haf females, and often twins. and
they breed the next year, making q
double compound-a perpetual growth
and no loss. Everything that does not
60 into market goes back to enrich the
pasture, and though the landlord NAV
DO sick, it does not stop tho growth Of
the lambs.
Not 80 with other business. The
mechanic or the man who works for a
salary, has nothing to grow while he
sleeps; when his labor ceases his in
come stops, and his expenses are per.
petual. It is true there are perpetual
expenses attending the sheep and, goat
business; but under the most unfayor-
oble circumstances, where they can
live on the commons without feeding,
tho meet OF the wethers will pay all ex.
penses without drawing on the wool or
the increase of the ewes. Hence it is
like perpetual stream flowing into a
basin it is only question of time to
I'LL it to overlooking. The drawback
seems to be that men do NOT relish
living away from thickly populated
settlements and towns, deprivine them
selves of society for the sake of money.
This objection can be obviated, In ali
now countries there are villages CON
st'ntly springing up, near which good
sheep ranges can be had, where the
owner can visit his focks daily. and
also give his family the benefit of
schools and sooiety.-Facts and Fgo-
