He Gambled off His Clothes

All of Yesterday afternoon a little
band Of Piute poker players were en-
gagged in playing cards on an old horse
blanket in the rear of Harris store
One of the most excited and demon
strative of the lot was young buck
about twenty-five years o. age, who
was in a constant attitude of bellger-
ency with his companions. Finally
he sprang up and made proposition
in his native language, which must
have meant business, for the squaws
all came crowding about and the game
began with great earnestness. When
it was over the buck rose to his feet
and deliberately stripped off his cloths
down to an old cotton shirt. AS he
took them off piece at time, he cast
them upon the ground with vigorous
dramatic gesture, as he filled the air
with the round blasphemy of his race
1t was nearly 5 o'clock in the evening
and very cold when he denuded him,
self, but he showed no signs of SILVER.
ing, and when ne had cast his pants
and vest upon the heap, he started on
a dead run up Musser street. much to
the establishment of the people who
lived along the line of that thorough
fare. He was bound for his wickiup
in the mountains, and it must have
taken him nearly an hour to reach it.

The cumulative power Of money is
q fact very generally known, but not
generally appreciated. There are few
men living at the age of IS, hanging
on to existence BY some slender en-
ployment. or pensioners. it may be, on
the bounty of kindred or friends. but
might, BY exercising the smallest par
ticle of thrift, rigidly adhered to in
the past, have set aside a respectable
sum which would materially help them
them to maintain their independence
in their old age. Let MS take the small
and insignificant sum Of five cents.
which we daily pay to have our boots
BACKED, to ride in car distance we
are able walk, or to procure bad CT
gar We are better without, and see
what its value is in the course of years.
We will suppose boy of Is, by black
ing his own boots. or saving his car
fare, or going without his cherished
cigarette, puts by five cents a day; in
one year he saves $685. which being
banked bears interest at the rate Of 5
per cent. per annum, compounded BIZ
yearly. On this basis, when our thrift
ty youth reaches the age of 65. having
set his five cents per day religiously
aside during so years, the result is
surprising. He has accumulated no
less sum than $3,S93.17. A scrutiny
Of the progress of this result is inter
esting. At the age of 80 our hero had
1895; at 40, 1877; at so, ST., 667; at SO.
$2,962. After Is years. saving his
annual interest more than equal his
original principal; in Is years it is more
than double; IS years it is four times
as much; in As years it is eight times
as much, and the las wears interest
is $50, or ten and half times as much
as the annual amount he puts by. The
actual cash amount saved in so wears
is $912.50, the difference between that
and the grand total Of $3,893.17, viz g.,
$2.9S0.67 is accumulated interest =

Cold Weather Shelter for Stock Profit
able.

Not one farmer in hundred UNDER
stands the Importance of shelter for
stock. This has much to do with the
success or failure of tens of thousands
of farmers. Animals fairly sheltered
consume from ten to forty per cent.
less food, increase more in weight. are
far healthier 10 the spring; and work
ing and milk producing animals are
much better able to render effective
service. The loss of one or more oxen
or working horses, or of COWS, or other
farm stock, is often staggering blow
to those scarcely able to make the ends
of the year meet, and the large MAJOR
ity of such losses of animals are trace
able to diseases due, directly or indi-
rectlv, to improper protection during
the autumn, winter or spring. Of the
food eaten, all the animals use up a
large percentage in producing the ma
tural teat of the body at all seasons,
and heat enough to keep up ninety
eight degrees all through the body is
absolutely essential. Only what food
remains after this heat is provided in
the system can 60 to increase growth
and strength and to the manufacture
of milk in cows and Of eggs in fowls.
Vixen Heat escapes rapidly from the
surface, as in cold weather, more heat
must be produced within, and more
food be thus consumed. In nature
this is partly guarded against by thick
err hair or fur in winter.
ANY thinking man will see that an
animal either requires less food, or has
more left for other uses if it is protect
ed arti6cially against winds that carry
off heat rapidly, aud against storms
that promote the loss of heat by evap-
Grafton of moisture from the surface
of the body. A dozen cows, for exam
pie, will consume from two to six tons
more Of hay if left exposed from Octo-
Der to April, than if warmly sheltered
and in the latter case they will be in
much better health and vigor, and
give much more milk. Other cattle,
horses, sheep and swine will be equal
ly benefited by careful protection.

Tobacco Fertilizers

Superphosphate, says tobacco grow
er, is very quick in its effects. and it
has always been remarked that a spoon
full of it in hill would ripen the to-
bacco plant week or more sooner
than when we'll rotted manure was a.
lone used. 1t has also baen the exper-
fence Of our growers that superphos-
plate gives fine thin leaf. This ra-
pidity of ripenlng is now thought to
be Objectionable by many, since, i f the
plant remains Of a dark green, exhi-
biting healthy, growing appearance
for a long time, the leaf will be heav-
Ter and of darker color. This is ef-
fected, as it is claimed, by the use of
castor pomice and cottonseed neal
Perhaps this theory needs longer test
ing before it becomes a fixed principle
yet this is the common view of the
growers.

Scarcity of Hogs-The Decrease.

We have frequently heretofore re-
ferred to the lack Of swine to consume
the large corn crops that are annually
grown in this country, and of the i'm
portance of increasing the number
This known scarcity lead the specula.
tors to undertake the corner in hog
products that recently collapsed. The
poor corn crop of 1881 led to the feed
ing and marketing of the hogs, includ-
ing breeders, so greatly, that last year
found the number very small, and the
deficiency is not yet made up. This
applies to all the leading corn growing
States. The banner State in this in
dustry is Iowa, which in 1880 return
ed over six millions (6.O34,316) swine,
about twenty per cent more than Illi-
nois, the next highest. These figures
included all ages. The present mum.
Der in Iowa is officially reported at
less than two million (1,965 ,OOO) OF
hogs six months old and upwards, this
is nearly nine per cent below the mum.
Der Of year ago. This indicates a
decrease in five leading swine growing
States of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, In
diana and Ohio, of nearly seven hun
dred thousand hogs of six months old
and upwards, as compared with the
same date last year, or nearly one mil
lion four hundred thousand for the
whole country.

Agricultural Notes.

It is a we'll established fact that a
bushel of corn will make ten pounds
of pork, while it will make but little
over one half of that amount Of beef.
1t is also an indisputable fact that one
acre of clover will make two pounds
of pork to one of beef when grszed
without other feed. The great value
of grass in producing pork is not as
well understood by farmers as it should
be. Grass is not as much natures nu-
triment for hogs as for cattle, and the
former will utilize it into greater pro-
fits than the latter can possibly do
We urge it upon the swine breeder to
give his hogs abundance Of grass. 1t
will develop bone and muscle with
proper flesh to sustain heavy weights
Of future fat. A hog that has been
grown principally on grasshas a sure
foundation for future greatness.
