WILD HORSES.
How rhe, are captured In ss'"'""" n
Recent Exploit.

The Tribune yesterday published a
short notice OF the capture OF wild horses
in northern Colorado. The Larimer
county Express has longer notice, ana
"a the article is an interesting one, we
renublish the facts. Sheriff Coon, w.
r Scribner, W. Z. Morgan, Thomas
Earnest, and Steve and Charley Georgc,
were the parties interested, and they
were out last week. They went some
twenty miles north of fort Collins, and
few miles east of Pierce station on the
Denver and Pacific railroad. Here they
made their headquarters for the cam
paipp. Within two miles of camp they
never failed 10 find band of wild horses.
Many a long chase they had but they
finally succeeded in capturing ten head
Two of these, however, have the brand
of Mr.. McClelland, of Greeley.
A great many animals were seen.
Some of them were very valuable ones,
and were fleet of feet. Three head at
tracted the attention and challenged the
admiration of the entire party. One
was black mare, large, well proper
toned and beautiful, and they run her
over forty miles but couldn't catch her.
With this fine mare was colt which
seemed to be full-blooded Norman.
These two are certainly valuable stoc k
if they could be captured. The other
herse was n dark stallion that would not
weigh much over three hundred pounds.
His name reached down to his knees and
his foretop to his nostrils, and resembles
a Shetland pony. He is said to be n
beauty. One wild band was seen which
seemed to be composed entirely of large
American stock, aud undoubtedly con
tained many valuable animals.
These horses are rs wild as anteiopes,
and the strategy used to get near the
latter has to be employed with the
former. The hunter must conceal him
self behind his horse until he gets as
near to the herd as possible, when,
quickly mounting, he must dash into
the herd like lightning, cutting it in two
and starting portion OF it in the direc-
ton of the camp. No time must be lost,
or the wild animals will escape. His
companions, however, will assist in the
mad ride back to camp, which is an at
tempt to drive the game Unto corral.
If successful, then the work of roping
the animals is commenced, and a right
lively little job it proves to be.
The widest of the horses were tied to
the weakest, and thus all were driven to
town without much trouble. The same
parties have in contemplation hunt ere
long. Denrer Tribune.

American Live Stock Abroad.

Currnt remarks: Stock breeders in
this country, feeling that their profits
are seriously threatened by the develop
mcnt OF the American meat trade, have
perhaps thought it might be worth their
while to turn their attention to horses.
They will, however, be disagreeably disap-
| pointed toind that even this straw is likely
to be snatched from their grasp by the
enterprising yankees, who are endeavor
ing to supply us with beasts of burden as
well rs butchers meat, and have taken to
importing not only dead oxen, but also

creatures. born aud bred in Kentucky,
were the other day taken on board the
steamship State of Pennsylvania, en-
route for Glasgow, where they are to
perform the work of dray horses. No
finer animals of the kind are, it is stated
TO be seen, one of them standing sixteen
hands three inches high, and built in
proportion. They came from Stonewall,
in Scott county, KY, and are three
years old. When shipped on board they
appeared to be in good spirits, for they
were, according to an American paper,
clicking up behind and before" 1t is
TO be hoped they will have toned down
a little before arriving at Glasgow; for
the Scotch are, as they will find, a serious
nation and not to be triiled with. This
is said to be the first shipment of the
kind to Europe, but about forty more
mules are to follow in week or two.

What L. NIost Profitable.

Inquiries are frequently made rs to
which is the most profitable branch of
farming. II depends on several contin-
gencics. In some places corn.growiug
and pork'raising, in Others wool growing,
and in Others dairying are steadily
profitable one year with another Where
circumstances, such as rich corn land,
healthful, dry pastures, or abundant
grass, with pure water, favor one or the
other OF these specialties, it is best to fall
into them and to keep to them. But
for general purposes special crops or en-
ployments are rarely suitable, and
mixed farming is the best reliance. This
implies to roots, grass and grain; chiefly
for feeding TO stock, and only partly for
sale. The aim must be to distribute the
produce so that good portion comes
back as soil manure, and the soil is kept
improving constantly in fertility and
freedom from weeds. Then immediate
advantage can be taken OF any excep
tional condition of things, and il grain
does not pay, meat and wool may be
made, and il grain happens to be high, i,
may be sold, and some other cheaper
feed be bought to replace it. A sharI
farmer, who has some capital, and car
turn about at short notice, will neveI
be caught in poor year, without at leas
average profit from his business ss-Ameri

FARM AND GARDEN.

The subject Of farmers gardens has oc
cupied much attention lately, and use,
ful papers have been presented upon i,
at the farmers institutes and Other
places. 1t is generally admitted that no
part of a farm pays no well or supplies
more satisfaction and comfort to a
farmers family as a well.arranved fruit
and vegetable garden. A few acres of
land near the dwelling, well fenced and
thoroughly prepared by deep tillage and
drainage, If necessary, will yield an
abundant supply of small fruitsand veee.
table. The small fruit and vegetables
should be in different compartments, but
all should be in rows or drills, 30 that the
soil can be kept free from weeds and in
good tilth by horse labor. Large patches
OF cabbagcs, parsnips, carrots, sweet
coin, etc, will not only yield an abund-
ant supply Of wholesome vegetables for
culinary use, but will furnish large
surplus, which can be profitably used for
feeding cows, swine and other stock.
