Prepared YOr Life.

At the closing exc rcises OF AUSTIN
high school May 81 :. 1883, the follow
ing young ladies re ceived testimonl-
ais of merit for at tendance, deport-
ment and scholarsI hip: Misses Mary
Baker, Jessie Andl :eWS, Lille Car

Leonard .Leonline E;runet.
Miss Mary Baker was present every
day of the term, h ad no failures IN
department and her scholarship, as
evinced by her recits Itions and examl-
nations, was very go cd. Several 9th
ers obtained higher averages in schol-
arship. notably, Miss Jessie An
drews and Miss Minnie Darlington,
but they and others were absent
day OF two on account OF bad weather.
Miss Mary Baker received testimo-
NAL of the first class, and the others Il
testimonial of the second class, in ac-
cordance with the notice given at the
BEGINNING of the session.
Fall in Meat.
Meat should become cheap now, as
oh .eep have fallen from 81 to 81 per

80 to S. per head, and even a greater

fin: sncial and stock men say, by two
thi ngs: one is stock men have heavy
oh1i cations to meet, and are not max
mo the sales necessary to meet them,
and that all figures were based on
large ana heaVy speculaclo 9a,,o e'i 1-o,,sd

conse uuence, stockmen, many of them
have Eeaxy drafts and notes for large

them unless they make immediate
sales This must be done at lowel
tR1or, and a great fall is the result

Poultry Raising as a Business.

There is just now much interest in
poultry raising, and a disposition tc
take it up on large scale. The fol-
lowing extract from one of our recent
letters will give an idea of the many
inquiries made of us: as poultry
raising a profitable business, and
would you advise young man to in
vest one thousand dollars in il?"
This might be answered, in brief:
Poultry are profitable, and we would
not adAise young man Tor an old
.One) to at once invest one thousand
dollars in it. Farmers find the poultry
yard the most profitable part of the
farm, in proportion TO the capital in
vested. Many recon i'm this way: If
fifty towels are profitable, five hundred
are ten times as profitable. This is an
instance in which figures do not tell
the truth. AS soon as the number of
fOwles is doubled, troubles are quadru-
pied. A range and houses which will
keep fifty in perfect health, Will be
OvercTowded with one hundred, and
all the troubles due to dense popula-
ti0n will follow.
While we believe that poultry keeping
on large scale may be made prOiita-
bic, capital to purchase birds and build
houses, is not the only thing neces-
sary. Thkse who undertake the bus
iness, musAgive their whole attention
to it, One int is well settled-fOwls
can not be Kept together in large num-
bers, and thrive. The whole matter /
careful study and experiment.
The beginner should start in a small |
way, and increase as success seems to |
it. The point to be deter
mined at the out-start, is Shall eggs
lr dressed fowls be the object? Each
requires a different management
though the two may, in
, measure, be united Starting with
capital, and no experience,
will surely end in failure. The best
works upon poultry management in
ist upon keeping fowls in small
locks; this is regarded essential to
uccess.

Hints on Hog Killing.

Skill and practice are needed to
take out the intestines neatly, with
out cutting or breaking them and
soiling the flesh. Run the knife
lightly down marking the belly
straight, cut to the bone between
the thighs, and in front of the ribs
and below, and split the rear bones
with an axe carefully, not to cut be-
yond them open the abdomen by
running the hand or two fingers be-
hind the knife with its edge turned
outward. Little use of the knife is
required to loosen the entrails. The
fingers, rightly used, will do most of
the severing. Small strong strings,
cut in proper lengths, should be al
ways at hand to quickly tie the sew
cred ends Of any small intestines cut
or broken by chance. An expert
will catch the entire offai in large
tin pan or wooden vessel, holding it
between himself and the hog. I'm
skilled operators, and those opening
very large hogs, need an assistant to
hold this. The entrails, and then
the liver, heart. etc, being all re-
moved, thoroughly rinse out any
blood or filth that may have escaped
inside. Spread the cut edges apart
by inserting a short stick between
them to admit free circulation Cf
cool air. When dripping is over, or
the hanging posts are wanted for
other carcasses, remove the dressed .
ones, and hang them in a cool cellar
or other safe place until the whole
flesh is thoroughly cooled through.
Or if, for convenience and easier
work, the carcases are cut up before
cooling, let all the pieces lie apart
for at least half a day. Removing
the lard from the long intestines re-
quires eXpertness that can only be
learned by practice. The fingers do
most Of this cleaning, safer, and bet
ter than a knife. A light feed the
night before killing leaves the intes-
tines less distended and less likely
to be broken.-J. NJ. STAHL, in Anler-
lcGR Agricujtu'iSt for Dec.

TIE New YORK Tribune thinks
Butler doesn't know when he is
dead. The old man may have passed
in his checks, but if 80, the Massa-
chusetts election returns are very
deceiving. He received 1900 more
votes this year than last, and there
have been but two elections in the
history of Massachusetts when his
votes on the 9th would not have
made him Governor of the State.
Butler is dead so far as his candi-
dacy for the Presidential nomina-
ton is concerned, but in the matter
of the GoYernorship of Massachu-
sets his enemies will be wise if
they treat him as if he were alive
and in the possession of all his fac
ulties.

GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN, of Mis-
souri,, disgraoed his high office,
whatever he may have done for
himself personally, by countensnc-
ing and supporting the Sullivan
slugging match in st. Louis the
other evening. His excellency was
conspicuous in the show, occupy
ing a prominent box and manifest.
ing deep interest in the business.
Saving nothing Of the immortality of
the affair, such exhibitions are un-
lawful in st. Louis, hence it was in
exceedingly bad taste for the chief
executive officer of the common
| wealth to show his sanction of the
illegal and brutal proceeding by
his presence. However, Crittender
comes of a family, the members OF
| which haven't a very high regard
| for official rectitude. He and oul
| Eli are brothers.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-11-16

the contrary, it is jealous of this ma
ton and afraid Of it. As between
America and Great Britain it would
cling to the latter. How strong
this latter element is, cannot be told
with anything like de6niteness; but
it is from this that England is in
danger of losing the Dominion, if
there is danger. Annexation on
the part Of America is out OF
the question. The only way it can
ever be brought about is by force.
Whether or not 1t could be con-
quered in view of the loyalty Of the
people and its eligibility for defense
by the parent government, is a
question that only the trial could
determine. If it could be acquired
by force of arms it would not be
worth the effort, for the reason that
an intelligent conquered people are
not desirable acquisitions to a free
commonwealth. However, the at
tempt is not going to be hazarded
by the United States, which though
aggressive and out-reaching, prefers
diplomacy and money to arms and
armies as agents for enlarging her
borders. It has been demonstrated
that it is cheaper to buy than to
fight. We believe that Great Brit
ain will eventually lose not only
her Dominion of Canada, but others
of her vast possessions not because
her subjects will lose their love and
respect for the motherland, but for
the reasons thatithey will come to
feel that they can best govern them
selves, and thatlthe growing senti-
ment of intelligent, educated man
kind is that the republic is the nat
ural form of government for man.
How long this sentiment
will be IN growing to the
striking point is a matter that time
alone can determine; its growth
will be swift or slow, according as
the mighty republic of the west
continues its present rate Of pro-
gress and development or slackens
its pace and shows signs of decay.
One thing, however, may be set
down as fact. namely: Canada is
not going to ask annexation to the
United States and would resist the
scheme with all the earnestness and
vigor of loyal and patriotic British
subjects.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-11-16
CANADA AND THE UNITED
STATES.

An intelligent Canadian gentleS
man writes in another place in THE
HERALD about his couHtrymen, in
connection with the many stories of
alleged discomfort in the Dominion.
He very naturally defends the Cana
dams from the charge of disloyalty
to the imperial government, and
humiliating as it may be to acknowl-
edge the fact, makes some ugly
points against the republic. Any
body who has resided any consider
able time in Canada, and is at all
acquainted with the people of the
Dominion, knows that they are gen.
orally as loyal to the Queen as are
their countrymen in England itself.
Canadian politics and sentiment are
thoroughly misunderstood on this
side of the line. American opinion is
formed partly from American wishes
and partly from impressions gained
from misinformation. Much of what
is alleged as showing Canadian dis
content, comes from anti-British
sources, Fenian or Irish influence
tinging a good deal ofit, and patri
otic American newspaper corress
pondents are given to the discovery
of tendencies and indications thai
may or may not exist There is ar
element in Canada that is opposed
to the British nation, and woult
gladly see it overthrown, but it i
unimportant and without infuenc'
for the simple reason that the yer,
great majority of the people dearl.
love the mother country and it
stable, humane government. Their
is another element that is strongl
in favor of republican forms an
institutions. 1t does not desir

THE SECRET OUT.

The secret of the cause of the
flight of Mary Churchill, the st.
Louis girl who fed from the aristo-
cratic home of her wealthy parents
and took refuge among the slops
and suds of an Indianapolis insane
asylum laundry, is out at last. Her
parents compelled her to practice at
the piano four hours day. Natur-
ally enough she escaped from the
torture on the first favorable oppor-
tunity, and it is also natural that
she could find rest for her weary
bones and contentment for her dis
tracted mind in the washtub. Com
pared with her former life laundry
was a picnic ground, and wash
boards, suds and foul linen the de-
lightful paraphernalia Of q whole
circus, including side shows and the
grand concert at the close of the
regular performance, with lemonade
and fans thrown in. The wonder
is that Mary, after the
| miserable life she was leading at
| home, aspired to anything SO restf1l
and gay as the wash-house for era.
| zies. Digging post holes or hand
ling railroad iron would have been
recreation and repose in her case
While her own escape was undoubt-
edly the chief object in her flight,
perhaps she also may have felt that
the neighbors were to be considered.
She had bones to ache and they pos
sessed ears to be afflicted; hence
she flew to save herself and them
Mary has proven herself girl o!
spirit and noble, generous impulses
| She has set grand and glorious ex
ample for her tried and trying sis
ters. Let us hope her worthy course
will be followed by other afflicted
and affecting girls, until the piano
shall no more be heard in tha land
and will be preserved only as grim
weird reminder Of past tortures.
