 January, the Serna Colonel Ramon ] Ybarra, attacked position near Ala
 mos, occupied by some 60 men under lTiburcio Otero, Prefect of Alamos, car rying the position and routing the gov lernment forces. After his defeat, Oteroi

This force he was thoroughly organizing, collecting fresh horses, gathering arms and supplies. He had also more or less infantry, but as these could only De Jeff to garrison places, he placed his entire reliance on { the cavalry and had got them thorough ; y organized, and ready for vigorous of the campaign.

Oil the Harness.

Have your harness repaired, if nee
essary, before drier season sets in.
Wash it thoroughly with warm soft
water and CASTLE soap, and brush out
every particle of dust before putting
on the oil. This is the important point.
Better not oil at all than to apply it on
dirty leather. The harness should be
taken apart and the pieces washed and
oiled separately. Rub on the oil while
the leather is softened with the wa
ter. 1t can be applied at once if the
leather is rubbed a little with a dry
cloth it should be soft, but not too
wet. After applying the oil, hang
up to dry for few hours, till the oil
is absorbed. Old harness that has
been neglected and is dry and hard,
had better not be oiled it will do no
good, the evil is already done. The
fibres of the leather have lost more or
less of their tenacity, and oil will not
restore it; in fact, by softening the
leather it only weakens it, just as a
wet sheet of paper will tear more east
ly than dry one. Oil does not add to
to the strength of leather it merely
sOftenS it and keeps it from cracking;
it is preventive Of decay-not a re-
stOrer. Harness are now SO high that
it is more than ever important to take
good care of them. Never let them
suffer for the want of oil keep in
good repair, and they will last as long
again.

How Much Money

A COW should bring each year to the
owner, at least forty dollars. That is
to say, cow should be worth to the
farmer in good, true, and lawful
money forty dollars per year. A
good, fair average cow, when cheese
will bring fifteen cents per pound, will
be worth fifty dollars per year to the
farmer. We mean the western COW.
We mean, too, when the cow is well
cared for, carefully MIXED and proper
ly fed. When butter is worth thirty
cents per pound, which city folks have
to pay for good, clean, fresh butter,
good cow will bring more than
fifty dollars per year to it's owner, but
however good cow may be, unless
the proper care is observed the cow
will not pay for its keeping. And yet
a cow only wants to have plenty Of
good food, kept warm and clean in the
winter, with plenty of good water,
treated kindly, never hunted by dogs
or kicked or beat by man, and she will
be worth double to the farmer, than
when no attention is given to her COM
fort.

ck-Faced Scotch Sheep.

We have frequensly wondered why
this breed Of sheep has not been intro
duced on the prairies Of Minnesota
and Dakota. They are wonderful
handy animal Astounding in the High
lands of Scotland. In the bleakest and
widest pastures of the mountain rang
es they can be found and always in
good condition. The mutton is remark
able for it's fneness and delicacy of
flavor. The tleeces averages about
four pounds, and while the wool is not
certainly of the finest texture, yet it is
reliable. We do not belong to that
class of people, who believe the Me-
rinos, CatsmOuld, Leicester, Lincoln
and Southdowns Will not do we'll in
this climate and latitude, because we
know they will, and one or other of
the above named breeds should be on
every farm, but these black-faced fell
lows, are kept so easily and SO cheaply
that it could not be otherwise than a
source of profit to the farmer. They
breed SO copiously that for mutton
alone the farmer would derive liberal
revenue.
