E4RM NOTES.

New York and Pennsylvania grow
two-thirds of all the buckwheat produced
in this country.
In feeding corn to pigs that are being
fatted better results will be obtained if
the corn is fed in connection with bran,
shipstuff and vegetables.
Mr.. John Gibson, of Trempeleau
county, Wis, has made over 1000 gal
Ions of choice strip from sorghum this
season, averaging about 100 gallons per
acre.
The ground is not safe place for the
fowls at night, as croupis engendered by
the cold earth. Always provide roosts,
and have them so situated as to be out
of draughts or currants of air.
Milk is excellent for fowls, and it will
pay to buy and use it for them, as it ma
terially increases the number of eggs.
1t may be fed either sweet or sour. 1t
is given either in dishes or mixed with
the soft food.
Layering grapevines may be attempt
ed at any time after the wood has be-
come firm, and before the buds in the
spring. The difference between layers
and cuttings in that the layers are not
detached from the parent vine, which is
thus enabled to nourish the new plant.
Corn that is to be cribbed should be
dry or free from swell. The
crib floor should be several inches above
the ground so that the corn may not be
exposed to dampness or moisture. The
crib should also be thoroughly cleaned

My heightened life to view In retrospect,
NY spirit wakens lne TO solemn memories.
And how the hours and weeks and months
Did glide away with down upon their feet;"
When hope and expectation grew apace,
AND all the future glowed with mellow light.
Ambition fired my young heart, lending
Imagination wings, and. joining hands,
Waited my vision toward untried fields,
OF ideal bliss. Illusions thus beginning
Follow through all the stages of our lives.
Forever on the wing the years glide fast,
Of @ ITSELF wth mysserY sye ths wee
Mocking mans impotence of its solution.
Indulgent Heaven! beneath thy starry vault
For all these eighty years these eyes have
With wond ring gaze. the drapery of the skies,
And scan'd thine azure dome with childish
maze.
Now I'm this "sere and yellow leaf" the wonder
Grows. The stars that twinkled at my advent
Twinkle still, and all the beauteous host,
Sun and moon and stars and the ethereal
As in my childhood's morn. The change is
In them but me. AS contemplation wraps
Me in sweet embrace, a solemn impulse
Bids me ask the years, If in the long record
There shall be found some act performed
OF good, to tell the world, when am gone
That lived not in vain. Tell me,
oh buried years, If posterity
Shall find In the long record a token
Raised in virtues realm to save
From swift oblivion the name bear?
The answer comes, and only this
'.Stillest streams oft water fairest meadows,
And lol the bird that fluttereth least
Is longest on the wing" Propitious Heaven!
And is this all the fruit of eighty years?
Ambitions but vain conceit that
Cheats me with delusive hopes of good
That never shall be mine. Well, well!
This dream is almost finished.
A few to-morrows yet may come and go,
And leave my yesterdays but vacant space,
Till out this nightmare of eighty years
/ wake to fairer realms, to find,
AT length, the motive of my being.

Providing for Daughters.


The way of happi es and comfort
for single middle-ageu women would
be made much easier if a different
method was pursued by parents toward
their daughters while they are still
young. Nothing, of course. can recon-
pense a woman for the loss i'm her
life of the love of husband and chill
dren; but there is no reason, why, add
ed to this bitterness, she should ALWAYS
have the humiliation of dependence.
Half the terrors of a single life to a
woman lie in the fact that she will
never have home of her own. but
must remain dependent on fathers
and brothers, the one too many in the
household; the beneficiary on sufferance
in the family, though she actually work
twice as much as the actual members.
A father naturally sets his boy on his
own feet at coming of age: but as nat
urally he keeps his daughters depend
ent upon himself. 1t is a pleasure
perhaps, to him to give her her gowns
and pln-money at thirty as when she
was three. He does not reflect that
she has the longing, equally natural to
every man and woman, to take her own
place in the world; to be rooted plant
not parasite. The difficulty is easily
solved. If the father is wealthy Lot
him settle absolutely upon his daugh-
ter when she is of marrying age the
amount ne would have given her as
dover, instead of doing out the inter.
est as constant gifts; if he is a poor
man, let him give her some trade or oc.
cupation by which she can earn he,
own money. This course would obvi-
ate the mercenary necessity of mar.
rage which rises night and day before
the penniless, dependent woman.

"Our candidate has risen from the hum

A voice "The same homely, freckled,
saucy thing she always was; SO there. !"

HARPER's YOUNG PEOPLE, published
in New York, is one of the best publi-
cations in this country for children, and
is, we are glad to know, enjoying cir

Sacred Cattle in Te.raS.
OotsO" SUeeeO ee AcSoos
New Mexican Stock Grower.

New Mexican Stock Grower.
John. O'Neil, cattle raiser of life long
experience in Victoria county, Texas,
called on the Stock Grower this week
and a conversation with him proved
most interesting. Mr.. O'Neil is one of
the very few breeders in this country of
Brahma, or sacred cattle, of the East
Indies. 1t would at first seem farcial
to speak of raising ''menagarie Stock
but Mr.. ONeil will soon be able to prove
to stock men of the west that this strain
will show as many good qualities as the
much-talked-of Herefords and Durhams
The first sacred cattle brought to
America consisted of two lots, one of
which went to Georgia and the other to
Louisiana. In 1879 Mr.. O'Neil noticed
cows near his own home which were a
cross between the natives and the Brah-
mas, and were the property of a neigh
Dor. The winter and spring of 1879
were exceptionally hard on cattle, and
the Idle off, was something tremen-
dOus. Our observing friend saw in the
spring that the Brahma cows were in ex-
cellent condition, and after experiments
he concluded that the breed would be
SOOu Ollc W CIOSS Will ilc udlifc SlOCh.
Mr.. O'Neil secured bull and two cows
(thoroughbreds) from the Louisiana
herd and afterwards increased the num-
Der from Georgia. The result of the
cross was satisfactory. They are of
good size, fine beef qualities and possess
the best rustling qualities of any breed.
Mr.. O'Neil obtains the best results
from a cross between the sacred cattle
with pure Durhams, and the male stock
from this cross he runs with his natives.
There is heavy demand in Texas for
the Brahmas, as they are called, but it
is utterly impossible to supply it. Mr..
O'Neil intends to stock ranch in this
territory, when our New Mexico cattle
owners will have an opportunity of see
ing the sacred cattle. The thorough
breds are described as being of rich
cream color, and the bulls have very
prominent hump on the shoulder.

Is the Taxing Of Mortgages Given 10
Secure Payment Of clouds Already
Taxed, Double Taxation
7. E. Clohecy appeared before the
Board of County Commissioners, yes.
terday. to complain Of what seemed to
him to be double assessment, at least,
and illustrated the case substantially
Us follows:
We are conducting . banking bust.
ness at ketchum, and pay taxes on
our capital stock. We also Go gen.
eral merchandise business, and pay
taxes on all our stock in trade, our
goods. We sell these goods on credit,
or lend a part of the capital stock,
upon both of which we have paid
taxes. aud take mortgages to secure
payment. Then we are taxed on
those mortgages. If this is not double,
and in some cases treble, assessment,
| am greatly mistaken. If either, it
is in violation OF constitutional rights.
After discussing the matter for
some time, tho Board agreed that a
test case would be made up, or ques-
tons covering the case be drawn up
by District Attorney Bruner and sub
mitted to Judge Broderick for deci-
sion prior to the date upon which the
taxes will become delinquent.

THE LOCAL TELEPHONE LINE.
Damages Done to 1t During the Recent
Storms.

The lightning, night before last,
played havoc with the telephone sys-
tenn of Wood River. The poles were
struck in the neighborhood Of the
Cold Springs ranch, and the electric
current ran along the wires, destroy.
ing the magnetos of all the instruments
in Ketchum. The magnetos of the
Wood River Mining Company's office
and those at one store in Bullion,
we're also burned, rs were those of the
Haley depot telephone. Iu HALEY
most of the magnetos are polarized,
SO that the bells either ring very un.
evenly, or the hammer, while moving
about when it is attempted to make it
ring, does not strike the bells at all,
and thus produces no sound. The
magnetos are the small coils of fine
wire that transmit the current to the
hammer of the bells. A new supply
of magnetic coils has been ordered to
replace those damaged, which is ex-
pected daily; but it is evident that
the entire Wood River system will
have to be protected by lightning
arresters before the line can be de-
pended on. AS it is, the damages by
storms 50 far since the Wood River
line has been in operation have nearly
eaten up all the profits.
The central office telephone is the
only one working in ketchum.

came down to HALEY, last week, to
lay in supplies for the winter, and ar.

The mud-hole on Main street, at
the intersection of Bullion, is being

the other two places mentioned by the

In Marsh Basin, and along Goose
Creek, there are seven threshing ma
chimes in operation. The yield of
grain this year is large, but farmers
who are compelled to sell now will
not realize much for their years work,
as wheat is worth but 60 cents per 100
pounds in that market. A granger
from that section was in the city yes

II A. M.-There are 1892 wards

turns from S2S of these, received up
to this time, show y net Republican
gain Of 12,e29 votes. The same ratio
of gain throughout the State will give
the Republicans a majority of 16,5O0.
This comparison is based upon the
vote OF 1883, which was a good indi.
cation of the full Democratic strength.
At late hour last night the pri-
