STOCK NOTES.

From the Las Animas Leader.
Some cattle men west Of here are shipping
cattle to Kansas for the purpose Of saving
them.
We observe that many Of the COW boys are
this year taking out cots on the roundup 80
as to sleep out OF the range Of the festive
skunk.
Judge Jay put his one year old Hereford
on the scales this morning and he weighed
$50 pounds. So much for thoroughbred
stock.
B.L. Stotts last week sold 100 head Of
sheep to Clement Bothamley, an English
man who has purchased lands in Chase
county, Kansas. The price was So per
head.
Ellsworth Tory, of Oldham county, Texas,
last week made purchase in this county Of
ffty-two high grade bulls and one thorough
bred, for use in his herd. OF these he
bought one thoroughbred and eleven grade
Hereford, and sixteen grade short horns Of
Mr.. Prowers for the round sum of $3.50;

From the Kinsley Graphic.
james Allison will shortly start his drive
Of forty thousand head Of cattle from Texas
for the North Platte, twelve thousand head
are his individual property. Buddecke
and partner will be on the road soon from
Colorado county, Texas, with one thousand
two hundred head of half breeds; they will
drive to Clark county, Kansas. Cattle in
Western Texas are reported in fine ccndi-
ton, and bringing one TO one and a-half
dollars head higher than heretofore; this
is owing largely to batter breeding, as a
large number Of blooded bulls have been
put on that range the past few years.

From these figures it will be seen that
rice corn stands well as an article of food.
In its percentage of "fat formers" or cheat
producers," i. e., starch, fat, dextrine and
sugar, il compares favorably with all grains,
while in its contents Of albuminoids-the
"flesh- formers" 80 called-it surpasses all
the Indian corns, and takes rank with
wheat, rye and oats.
The small percentage Of cellulose or
woody fibre, is also remarkable, and must
be considered an item in favor of rice corn,
since cellulose is almost entirely nom
nutritious.

From the Tribune.

this Is equivalent to purchasing claim.

1t lie gratifying to learn that stock rsisers

Mr.. Krum thinks be Will realize 10 or IL
buehels of wheat to the acre, on about so
acres Of winter wheat, wheter 1t rains or not.
He is on the farm he purchased from Frank
Wilson, about miles west Of town.
Since the vet spell set in farmers are
more hopeful of at least q partial wheat crop
in the county; and we are Of the opinion
that Barton county will yet have moderate
yield. 1t looks 60, just now.
A light froet followed BY dry, hot weather
has left q few heads about town look

it the sand paper finish. 1t may be very
comfortable, and all that but We can't say
that it adds to the personal comeliness Of an
individual.

ATTENTION is being called to the cruelties
inflicted upon hogs and cattle by drivers ard
railroad employees. A favorite instrument
for hurrying the beasts is pole with a
screw brad in the end. This iron is jsbbed
in the flank of hog or steer, and on being
Withdrawn it tears out piece Of flesh. A
Chicago packer says that out Of $500 hides
he found 2,l0O punctured. A common
means of routiug exhausted cattle is to twist
their tails until the joints are broken. A
law to punish these toiturers has been pas
sed by the Illinois legislature.

don't put on more until you have cleaned
the iron with turpentine; that will cut the
residue of the iron. Put on your turpentine,
then place your wheel on the axle and re-
volve it few times; take of the wheel and
carefully wipe the sxle clean. A stick and
rag vet with turpentine can be used to
clean the hub. Don't let the oil wear out,
almost invariably grease q buggy after it
hiss been wet with rain. In winter add one
fifth turpeptine TO cold pressed castor oil,
and that, with slow driving when you start,
will save your iron axles."

the report Of his acceptance Of the
Panama Canal Presidency. saying that
be was only awaiting further dispatches
from Paris. His duties, hs said, were
to be in the main supervisory and the
protection OF the interests OF American
investors. and to see to 1t that neutrality
in the manaasn-nt OF the canal 10
strictly maintained. A veto power, to
some extent, was to be lodged with the
American Board. and 1t was to have
power, to q certain extent, to make con.
tracts. The exact limits Of the powers
OF the American Committee have not, be
remarked. been very definitely settled,
but they will be extensive enough to
guarantee complete protection 10 the
commerce OF this oouatry and to the
holders Of Panama Canal stock here.
The American Office will be opened In
this city, and here Mr.. Thompson will
preside. he said he had not yet con.
cluded upon the action be should take
a. to bis seat In the Cabinet. There was
no haste necessary, as the negotiations
with the Paris managers Of the canal
scheme had only just opened. and sew
sral weeks would elapse before they
would be closed. For . time. therefore.
the duties o. the American Committee
would be very slight. and q month or

Pursuant to advertised notice In the
News, q meeting Of citizens Of Gold Hill
was held Saturday evening at Yellow
jacket Engine House. Hon. w. d. c.
Gibson was called to the chair, and A.

isct Of the meeting was stated to be to
take into consideration the condemns
ton OF the two old dismantlsd cannon
now lying on the Homestead, q Of
them being the famous old General

p~erin,endent and manager Of the Home
stead property. were fully authoriz Ito
carry out the objects Of the meeting,
distributing the proceeds. after paying
expenses. among the poor and needy, 81
above specified.
To the credit Of Mr.. Lyford be II
stated that hs was the originator OF this
public-spiritsd and kind.hesrted sugges.
ton, aud tho meeting resulted exactly
rs hs had planned. The guns have seen
their day OF usefulness. but Lylord now
makes them more useful and beneficial
than ever. CANS well that ends we'll"
In this connection 1t is proper to state
that Mr.. Lyford objects to his elevated
and commanding grounds overlooking
Gold Hill being called "Fort Homestead"
any more. but simply the plain Home

have known and admired the place as
Fort Homestead, and the thundsrs Of
the guns mounted on its eter'
nal ramparts have sounded forth on
many = 4th OF July aud other proud
occasions. while the old stars aud stripes
waved from the lofty flagstaff above
them. But with the disusntlins OF the
fortress aud the sale Of its guns for old
iron. the public will defer to the wishes
Of Mr.. Lylord and surrender the Fort
But it does seem q little sad to see its
ancient glory depart, and tame to call IL
only the Homestead hereafter.
