completely knocked to the ground by
the nomination of Hancock. We
have all along said, despite the
urgency Of the Press of the State to
the contrary, that Bayurd would not
have been an available candidate,
because of his Southern proclivitics
and the sectional colorng he would
have given the campaign, and we
arc now convinced, by what we have
seen and heard, that we were RIGHT.
and that his nomination would have
been the certain defeat Of the Demo.
cratic party.
We need Il Democratic President,
and if there is any man we can elect,
1T is Hancock. 1t is folly for the
South to waste time in further at
tcmpts to elevate favoritcS. We much
prefer Democratic success and home

Again, the nomination of Hancock
means the supremacy Of the civil over

ing. they should come in in March or early

likely to lose large per cent. OF them at
This season of the year. In the first place
the weather is very changeable and we are
liable to cold storms, and the number OF
pigs that perish from this cause alone is
enormous. Again, the sows after being On
dry feed all winter are not in as a healthy
a condition and are more liable to difficult
parturition, and often devour their pigs.
For over 20 years have bred from 8 to u
>ows each year tor spring. and it has been Il
rare year Ill which have saved half the
pigs. and some years have lost sevell-
eighths Uf thenl-and this not from any neg
lect, but when the sows were separated in

on the contrary, when my sows have tar
rowed in August, | rarely lose any. The
Weather is warm and settled. the sows hay

for will will winter as well as older pigs
have for many years bred the sows that
lost their pigs in March or early April for
iii August litter, and have found no more
difficulty in keeping them thrifty and grow

The August pigs may be marketed at any
time after the winter is over. / this year

the best ones had been selected and sold for

over for fall market, they will be large
and old enough by May to do we'll on clo-

in weight between them and early spring

NEVER was there Il greater need of har-
mony among our cattle growers than now.
The herds of The Territory are multiplying
80 rapidly that the roundup are very large.
A body of men OF from 80 to $50 are ul-
wieldy and are hard to manage, and in fact
cannot accomplish half what they should
except they have a perfect systematic Or
ganzation. II the entire interest was band
ell together in one compact organization,
She general as we'll rs the Individual welfare
wo,llu he greatly promoted. Under the
present system things run kinder slip-shod
There is no recognized front Or center. no
uniformity ot action. If there was a little
better understanding about matters there
would he grcnter uniformity. 1t has
always heen noticeable that cattle in
Meagher county have brought more per
head than in the southern part of the Terri
&,ie cattle are better. On the contrary cat
tile should be better there than here. a> the
country il older and has had more Short
Alorn breeders in it than any other section Of
abe Territory. This year beeves are selling
iii Meagher at $2S; choice range steers at
$40 to $50. while they are repol ted As sell

Owing to a difference il The range Meagher
county cattle might DC worth something
more than those in the older counties where

marked difference. 1t the interest was or
ganized the true value Of beeves could be
aascertained and uniform price obtained.
We have often urged the stock-growers to
gmite into local associations and affiliate
with the Territorial organization. The IN
stitution Is good one, well adapted to the
wants OF stockmen. Now that the stock
men OF the country are together they will
have good opportunity to talk the thing
over, and we trust may conclude to organ

CARE OF DAIRY UTENSILS.

Something beside immaculate cleanliness
Is necessary in the care and use of every ar
ticle which comes in contact with butter.
10 the common observer, perhaps the re-
peated washings, scaldings and rinsings of
butter bowls and ladies. and of course the
churn, indicates only cleanliness. This Is q
mistake. 1t is no mistake that they must
be cleaned, but at least upon their surfaces
they must be thoroughly water-soaked or
else when the butter IS only slightly soft it
will stick TO and smear the wood. We are
prompted to write this by letter received
from North Carolina, as follows:

TRAINING HEIFERs.

1t is a very easy matter to train heifer
easier matter to train them to jump, kick
and run. The way to teach them to stand
still is to always require them to do so. Ii
there is naught to hinder wild heifer from
running, and if her fears prompt her to run
she can and will run. On the contrary, if
she cannot run, in short time she loses her
fear and stands from habit, and habits one
of the most powerful influences in this world
tor either brute or man. 1t you want to
transform wild heifer into well-behaved,
wel-trained cow you must be patient and
exhibit no temper. Never strike or kick
her. She must first of all get acquainted
with you. and learn that you will not hurt
her. She must learn not to fear you. Ii, in
winter, it is best to milk in the stable, make
as little fuss and as few alarming motions
as possible and handle very gently. Be
careful not to pinch the teats. This is the
great source of trouble. A COW naturally
wishes to be rid of her milk. She stands
quietly uutil some careless mlker has given
squeeze that hurts, when she kicks and
runs. BY allowing such course few
times, the habit will be confirmed. The
best way to manage, if you have no stable,
is to have tall, well-fenced yard, and teach
your heifers to stand for milking In that !; or
next best, to tie them very quietly. No
man or boy is fit to handle animals unless
| he can control himself. Neither is it right

MARKETING BEEF.

Shippers of stock to the markets OF the

story. Dali and lower markets for fat cat
tle," but that is MI there is to say of the
trade for the last week or two. It may be
that every day has not brought its decline
in prices, but it will be admitted that no
day III the Inst two weeks has brought any
notew orthy advance in figures. When the
market Of day showed even the semblance
Of activity, statesmen rtjOiced--aml there
has been but little rejoicing Of late. En-
pOrters do not want cattle, or say they do
not want them. although it will be Loted
that five cents is rarely reached even by cat
tie of great excellence. Sales of steers in
prime condition. weighing l,3OO to 800 Tbs.

steers have sold within day or two al
Sl.5O@4s0. Wednesday saw steers weigh
ing almost 900 TBS. and o. good finish sold
at $4.9O. We scarcely dare say what they
would have brought three or four weeks
ago. Meantime cattle continue to come in
al though the one ambition of the cattle
dealers was 10 clean the whole country Of
beeyes before the trade could get time to
take breath and recover Il part of its depart
ell strength. That the farmer and the feed
er is badly ''rattled,' and sacrificing good
stock we are by no means slow in believing,
nor do we believe that many who are now
croWding their fat stock on the market will
fall to regret having done so. No one gives
a single good reason for thinking that cattle
must continue to sell tor these low prices.
It may be true that cattle fed last winter
made remarkably good growth, and tha.
more than usual were tattened in the west.

would not be plenty OF room in the markets

rushed upon glutted market. Suppose
there are twice as many tat cattle in the
United States as usual-and nobody who
knows anything about the trade will clain
that there, it would not follow that the mum
ber of cattle was doubled. 1t would only
show that stock which would have ordina

"A rather improbable story has been
in circulation among the Chinese of
Portland, Oregon, for the past few
weeks, concerning the finding of Chi
nese relics east of the mountains. Won
Won, an intelligent Celestial on Sec
ond street, who speaks English fluent

porter that some Chinese workmen en-
gagged in making excavations on the
Northern Pacific Railroad, beyond Aims
worth, unearthed Chinese altar of
rich bronze. The altar was about eight
feet long, four feet wide, and four feet
high, and was engraved with numerous
Inscriptions in their own language. The
precious treasure was boxed. given in
charge of six of their brethren, and
taken to their native land on the bark
