cording to this statement, Chester A. Ar

Many cattle are lost during these
storms, and maybe cannot be found I'M
til the time of the grand Ground up IN
the fall.
The simple way by which every cat
tie man recognizes his stock is by a
process called branding. Upon enter
ing the stock business, the first precau-
ton must be to obtain brand-booK
from the Drovers' Association. Then
comes the work of selecting brand
foreign to any which has hitherto been
used. This brand has then to be re-
corded, when it becomes personal prop
erty, and all stock carryingit belong to
the owner. The methods OF branding
are necessarily barbarous, but this, like
everything else, has been reduced to
science. Formerly the cattle were las
seed, thrown, and fastened to stake
while the operation was performed.
Now chute Just wide enough to per-
NIT one steer at time to elbow his
way along is attached to every corral.
Into this narrow passage the frightened
animals are crowded so thick that it is
impossible to move! The red-hot iron
is applied, and the mark is fixed, while
the quIvering and believing animals
are suffering all the agonies of death.
The stencil of cooking hide and hair are
sickening in the extreme, and the OBJ
server, if he is averse to the practice of
cruelty on animals, will be furnished
with sufficient food for thought.
Texas cattle, when in good order,
possess great endurance. They are
often driven three, or even four, days
without being permitted to Craze in
order to reach water, and have seen
thousand cattle hived in a corral not
big enough for half that number, and
retained as many as five days. without
being able to eat, drink or lie down.
The passage of cattle through the lit
tie trading posts along the route is q
gala day TO the inhabitants. They con-
sist almost entirely of ranchmen, with
healthy sprinkling of "pisen singers
and faro shutters" The ranchmen
make a handsome living by buying
sore-footed animals that cannot be kept
with the herd, and have to be left at
any price. Cattle of this kind are
bought for 81 and So head, and the
next season are worth from $12 to $14.
The boys on leaving one of these sta
tons are in state of chronic perjury,
and are apparently just as happy as
though they owned the herd. Nothing
worries the average cowboy more than
to be the possessor of ducats, and they
are never happier than when "busted. "
cannot close this article without re-
ferring to facts and figures regarding
the driving and shipping of Texas cat
tie. Herders are paid an average price
of $35 per month and board. Board
consists of bread, bacon and coffee.
Every herd is controlled by a foreman,
who receives as high as 500 per month.
From four to six weeks is consumed in
driving from Texas to Ogalalla, and
often much longer, owing to the wealth
er. The average loss from sore feet,
runaways and deaths is four to ten in
every hundred. Cor. Chicago Times.

Among the Cow Boys.

AT this season and later begin the
great cattle-drives from the South.
Look out over the plains in the morn
ing from any little station along the
trail and the observer may see in the
distance long wide line of seething
life, winding over the prairie, turning,
twisting, undulating, but always keep
ing the general objective point in view
that little WORKOUT, old, and with
cred town they call Ogalalla, on the
Union Pacific Railroad. Although des-
olate at other times of the year, very-
thing is now hustle and confusion. The
town is flooded with sharpers, gamb-
lers and saloons, each bent on tilching
from the unoffending but too confiding
cowboy his hard-earned ducats.
No one but the buffalo hunter can
imagine what a herd of Texas cattle
look like when being driven northward,
and venture to say that many of your
dainty, peculiar eastern people would
hesitate to feed on steaks, could they
see the raw material in its untamed
state. The usual color of Texas cattle
vary from a dirty white to brindle
brown, with thick sprinkling of faded
yellow; and their weight is about 800
pounds. The horns is the only thing,
except their diminutive size, that will
attract attention. They stretch up and
out in beautiful curves, reaching the
enormous breadth of six or seven feet.
A herd of 10000 of these little Texas
beeves is handled by about dozen
well-trained herders and foreman.
They seem always to know just where
and how to ride so that the herd will
not get scattered or turned. About
twelve miles a day is generally made
with these cattle when coursing north,
and in fine weather that time may be
depended on, but when those sudden
wind and rain storms arise, lasting
ever so short time; a furious stampede
always results, and the cattle plunge
away in radiates following the wind,
and mindless of any restraint. The
constant work of the riders can only re-
suit in q knowledge of the general di-
rection which the cattle have taken.

Big and Strange Teeth.

R. MILLER, of Rapid City, Dakota,
who is a professional fossil hunter. was
in Deadwood last week with four enor-
nous teeth. The theatre of his search
is in that section of the bad lands lying
east of and between the Sidney and
Fort Pierre crossings Of the Cheyenne
River. The jaw bone from which the
teeth referred to were taken was about
four feet in length, and from the char
acter of the molars and incisors it is
thought the animal was of the carniv-
erous species. The teeth diminish in
size as they approach the front extrem-
ity of the:mouth. There were two tusks
between six and seven inches in length
protruding from each jaw. Its short
teeth were in every respect similar to
dogs, but on grander scale. The
head sported two large horns, located
below the eyes. The entire petrifed
remains were there intact, but, the
larger portion of them being imbedded
in rock, no effort was made to exhume
them. During recent visit to that
sectisn he found petrifed turtle, nat
ural as life, that weighed over 100
pounds, but owing to its weight he was
unable to bring it in. This section, he
says, is alive with petrified specimens
of prehistoric reptiles and animals

Monster Vampire from Asia.

In store in Summit street may be
seen an animal the like of which but
few people in Toledo have ever seen.
1t is monster South Asian vampire,
the much dreaded blood-sucker'' of
that country. This rare creature, per-
haps the only living specimen of the
kind in this country, is about one and
half feet long, has a pair of piercing
black eyes which shine like diamonds,
a double row of sharp teeth, similar to
those of the weasel, and it's powerful
wings when stretched its full length
measure two and half feet from point
to point. The vampire hangs suspend
ed from a bar in the center of its cage
by pair of formidable claws, and when
in repose resembles closed umbrella.
Its body is covered with comfortable
coat of brown fur, while its beautifully
proportioned head, which has re-
markable similarity to that of diminu-
tive black-and-tan terrier dog, is sur
mounted by pair of large shell-shaped
ears. This strange creature is almost
totally blind during the day, but at
night its little eyes twinkle with aston
ishlng brilliancy. The vampire is kept
IN temperature of about seventy de-
grees, in order to conform as nearly as
possible with the climate of his native
home.-ToIedo Ohio Commercial.

Watering Horses.

THERE is, says the Michigan Farmer,
q great diversity of opinion as to how
often horses should be watered during
a day, whether in summer or in winter.
We have an article now before us, of a
writer of some distinction as an agri-
culturist, who advocates frequent wa
tering of work horses, as remover of
the vigor of the animals. We cannot
agree with him. We think both man
and beast are generally watered too
much. Men and horses at hard work
in warm weather perspire just in pro-
portion to the quantity of fluids taken
into the stomach. Frequent drinking
in hot weather, according to our expert
ence, .emasculates instead of refreshes.
Some years ago, being at Cape May, in
driving out in one of the stand-coaches
of the place, on very hot day, we
asked the driver how it was that his
horses perspired SO little, while the
horses of private carriages, going at a
slower speed, were covered with foam.
He replied that he watered his horses
three times a day only, though he
sponged their mouths frequently; while
the private drivers watered their horses
whenever they stopped. He sad, and
it seemed to us very sensible, that the
frequent watering of horses effected no
good purpose, while it made them very
uncomfortable and .lethargic. Horses,
no matter what their work was, did
not need watering oftener than three
times q day. Our own experience
with horses all our life is to the same
effect.

The Transmission OF Scarlet Fever by
Milk.

A REPORT has been issued by the Lo-
cal Government Board on sudden
outbreak of scarlet fever at Fallowtield,
near Manchester, England. The out
break included thirty-tive persons. be-
longing to eighteen families, and of the
individuals who suffered not less than
twenty-four were attacked within thir-
ty-six hours, between Sunday morning
and Monday evening. DR.. Airy was
directed by the Local Government
Board to investigate this outbreak, and
the results of his investigation are, says
the Lancet, given in the report now be-
fore us. The outbreak was quite local,
and the different details elected tended
to the general result that the infection
had been distributed TO the families
through the agency of particular milk
supply. The facts bearing on this point
do not well admit of any other inter-
probation. The question of the mode
in which the milk could have become
infected was not so fully cleared up,
but it is shown that one of the mixers
on the dairy farm lodged in farm
house where scarlet fever was present
at the time when the milk presumably
became infected, and it is suggested
that the infection was communicated
to the milk, in some way undetermined
but not inconceivable, through his agen-
cy. The report throughout is of very
considerable interest, and forms an i'm
portant contribution to our knowledge
of the mechanism, if we may so write,
of certain of the Observed phenomena
marking the progress of infectious dis
eases.

BY THE sTREAM.

SWEET tangled banks, where ox-eyed daisies
grow
And scarlet peoples CLEAN;
Sweet changing lights, that ever come and go
Upon the quiet stream!
Once more see the fash of splendid wings,
AS dragon-fies fit by;
Once more for me the small sedge-warbler sings
Beneath a sapphire sky.
Once more feel the simple, fresh content
found in stream and soil
When golden summer slowly came and went
And mine was all their spoil.
/ find amid the honeysuckle flowers
And shy forget-me-not
Old boyish memories of lonely hours
Passed in this silent spot. 49,
o, God of Nature, how thy kindness keeps
Some changeless things on earth
And he who roams far off, and tolls and weeps,
Comes home to learn their worth.
Gay visions vanish, worldly schemes may fail,
Hope prove an idle dream,
But still the blossoms flourish, red and pale,
Beside my native stream.
