An Omaha man is doubly in trouble.
He deserted his wife to elope with a
girl, aud the wife is chasing him. Then
he deserted the girl and she is chasing
him. The chasers have joined in pur-
suit, and he fears the worst If they
catch him.

Remedy For Kicking Cows.

A great many remedies have been
suggested, from time to time, for break
ing heifers while being MIXED. And now
the statement comes that the best plan is
to tie the animals head up high. A wri-
ter in the New England Farmer says he
has tried all kinds of plaus to cure his
heifer Of this bad habit, but finds none
SO effectual as tying the head up high, as
the animal must lower her head in order
to kick. This is very simple remedy
and as it is less barbrous than many
plans that have been suggested and are
practlced, we hope it may prove all that
is claimed for it. We cannot help renew
ing our advice, in this connection, in re-
gard to a uniform practice of kind treat
ment to mich stock, and especially to-
ward heifers when breaking them to
the pail. In nine cases out of ten cows
get the habit Of kicking from harsh and
injudlcious management and as it Is al
ways better to avoid an evil habit than
to contract it, and then run the risk Of
curing it, so We say care should be tax
en- that COWS do not learn this habit of
kicking from those whe have them in
charge.

died across in boat thereby enjoy
ing "a excursion, il may be presuan
ca, quite similar in its gloomy and
weird sensations to that which trav-
elers experience in the trip over the
rock-bound laks in Mammoth Cave.
Bayard Taylor says OF the Wieliczka
mine: ut is a bewiideripg maza OF
| galleries, grand halls, staircases and
yaulted chambers, where ono loses
i all sense of distance or direction, and
drifts along blindly in the wake of
| his conductor. Everything was SOL
id salt, except where great piers of
hewn logs had been built up to sup
port some threatning roof; or vast
chasms, left in quarrying, had been
bridged across. AS we descended to
lower regions, the air became more
dry and agreeable, and the saline
walls more pure and brilliant. One
hall, los feet In hight, rescaabled q
Grecian theatre--the traces Of blocks
taken out in regular layers represen-
ting the seats for the spectators. Out
OF this single hall 100000 ewt. OF
salt had been taken, or enough to
supply the 40,o00,0o0 inhabitants of
Austria for one year"
Ofthe method Of mining the salt,
Mr.. Taylor writes: "The process is
quite primitive scarcely differing
from that of the ancient Egyptians
in quarrying granite. The blocks
are first marked out ON the surface
by a series Of grooves. One side is
then deepened to the required thick
ness, aud, wedges being inserted I'M
der the block, it is soon split of. 1t
is then split transversely into pieces
of one cwt. each, in which form it Is
ready for sale. Those intended for
Russia are rounded on the edges and
corners until they acquire the shape
Of large cocoons, for the convenience
of transportation into the interior of
the country. The number Of work
men employed in the mines Is 800,
all Of whom belong to the upper
crust'-that il, they live on the out
side of the world. They are divided
into gangs, and relieve each other
every six hours"
The miners arc, as rule, as
healthy as the men who labor above
ground, and no particular form Of
disease IS generated by their exis-
tence in an atmosphere Of salt. One
might fancy that at least their iieshly
tissues would be preserved against
all possible decay by their thorough
saturation with salt 1t is noted
that the wood used in the mines
never changes, except as it is worn
by abrasion. So should the miners
last, suffering merely a gradual
transformation into picked mum
mics.

a question has arisen among whale
men rs to the possible early exter-
miaatiaa Of the walrus. Probably
not less than fifty thousand walruses,
with their young, were last year
killed and destroyed by our Arctic
whalemen. Since the whale has
been driven north, the walru3 has
become the main reliance Of the ma.
tiyes for their food, clothing, boots,
and dwellings; as he has also become
10 others the c!icr object Of CONNER
cial attention. At the present rate
he must soon be exterminated, or
like the whale driven almost out Of
reach. The question, therefore, Isl:
Shall our Whalemen keep on taking
the walrus, and eventually starve
and depopulate these Arctic shores?
10 provide against tho extinction Of
the seal, or which about 600, 600 were
captured last year, the Legislature
Of Newfoundland has passed law
forbldding vessels Ia that trade to
leave port before the 18th Of March,
that being tn average date Of the
parluritIon Of the seals. The young
ones come to maturity in a marvel.
lousy brief period. Thus two adj
yantagea are gained; the old seals arc
not slain as heretofore, with their
young unborn, and the young ones,
unfit to be taken, are left for another
year.

Reen.ng animals vyarn,.

A COW fed on twenty pounds Of hay
daily, having no shelter in the win
ter season, except perhaps an open
shed about to tumble down, would
be in no better condition in the
spring than she would be If fed on
fifteen pounds daily and kept in a
warm stable at night, and allowed
the run Of the barnyard in pleasant
weather. This is a result that has
substantially been proved thousand
times. Now we will compute the
loss to a farmer or ten cows, which
are left through the winter on the
uupro iected system; and many barns
afford but slight warmth to stock
over the open air, being boarded up
vertically, with cracks between the
boards from half an inch to an inch
wide, and all such barns come under
the losing system of wintering stock.
1t would be fair to estimate hay TO
| be worth SIS ton as an average val
ne throughout the country. Ten
cows not well protected will consume
50 pounds a day more than when
kept in q warm stable, for at least
four months, or IL days, worth 81!
cents daily, or during III days, si2.
Probably the loss on each animal, no
matter how fed, would be at the
very least calculation about five dol
lars; consequently farmers who study
their own Interests build warm
barns, but so az 10 be well yentila-
ted i'm mild weather, and thus save
enough i'm fodder in Il few years to
pay the cost Of them. But much can
be done with old buildings to make
them warm; battens can be nailed
over the cracks, the roofs can be re-
paired, doors be made to shut close,
and thus tho comfort Of domestic an
finals can be enhanced 10 say moth
ing of the saving in fodder. Farm
ers, do you realize this important
ftct? Some OF you do not seem to
realize il Mt all; and such men are al
ways talking Of "hard times" being
slack in all they do.
