stallion, Mike Meyendorff, last Thurs
day to Mr.. Ed. Kelly, of Benton. Con-
sideration, $3.50.
Assessor Kennerley informs us that
in general he is assessing this year at
about the same figures as last. He lists
stock at $50 a head, and sheep at So
which is less than in many OF the other
counties.
We areinformed by Mr.. M. IL. Miner,
secretary Of the Shonkin stock associa-

The belief has been generally current

We see many cowboys fitting up for

this is the most absurd. Every year
some cowboy shoots a five hundred dol

Such things should be stopped. The
only way to stop 1t is for the employer

well sfixed otherwise for the business.
BY hard r~ustling he brought them
through the long and severe winter
with q very slight loss, not greater than
his neighbors sustained, and is now con-
WINGED that with ordinary precaution
there is scarcely any risk in the sheep
business.
Since the hides taken from the dead
cattle on the ranges in this vicinity
have begun to come in, cattle men
have concluded that the loss will be.
somewhat larger than anticipated.
Hon. r. s. Ford, who is one Of our
largest stock owners, thinks that the
loss will not fall much below 10 per
cent. but that the fine weather which
we are now having will more than
make up that loss by adding to the

during March and April, and this

The Goat Industry.

Some experiments have been made
with Angora goats in this Great Basin,
and we believe that wherever proper
attention has been given to the business
it has proved profitable. There are
several fiocks in Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming, and yet in these Territories
q great stock interest," center in cattle
and sheep. Goats are much harder
than sheep, and are said to be entirely
free from the diseases which destroy SO
many sheep. Then, again, til claimed
their flesh makes better mutton, having
something of the flavor of deer meet.
Mohair is coming into greater demand
and commanding better prices, while
the skins Of goats are in such favor for
the manufacture of gloves, rugs, orna-
ments Of various kinds, ETC., as to bring
large prices. Yesterday a Tribune re-
porter had the pleasure of meeting Mr.,
{. ?. Bailey, of San Jose, California, on
bis way home from Texas, and from
him learned some interesting facts. Nj.
Bailey took via the Southern Pacific |
over 600 goats from California to Texas, |
and sold them there. Pure Angora
goats brought $50 each, while the more
common animals brought about $40
each, the lot a%ggregating owe $40, 900.
He found from statistics there are over
half a million common goats in Texas,
principally in six of the southwestern
counties: In breeding up, the first cross
does not produce m4laalhhaaip, bpt the second
produces On an average Per ysaroae and
q half pounds, the third three pounds
and the fourth four pounds, the quality
all the time getting better, while the
fifth produces very long and about as
good as the pure Angoras. The Angora ]
business has been q decided success in
California and Nevada the past fifteen
or more years, and we do not see why
the same result cannot be obtained here.
1t is a question worthy the attention of
stock men at least.-Salt Lake Tribune.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
A Piece of Advice.

We advise every farmer to select this
fall small plot of warm, mellow. we'll
drained soil. to dig it up thoroughly and
to add little manure, and then to plant
apple seeds on it. Select seeds from
good and hardy sorts of fruit and from
good apples. Plant in rows, a seed every
foot or less, and cover a half-inch deep.
Over the row place narrow board, to
keep hens off, and to prevent washing or
heaving of the soil. Make the rows four
feet apart. In the Spring remove the
boards. If the seeds all terminate, some
of the young seedlings should be trans
planted. Cultivate well next Summer.
If green lice attack the tender seedlings,
apply weak Paris green mixture. A
year from next Spring graft the seed
lings. These will be ready to plant a
year after grating, if they do well, or if
they remain longer in the rows. They
will fill vacancies in the old orchard, or
supply stock for new one, and some
will be wanted by neighbors, american

The Stone in the Road.

There was duke once who DISCUS d
himself and placed a great rock in the
middle of the road near his palace.
Next morning peasant came that way
with his OK cart. son, these lazy pco-
ple!n said he, "there is this stone lying
right in the middle of the road. and no
one will take the trouble to put it ont of
the way" And so Hans went on, scold-
ing about the laziness of the people.
Next came q gay soldier along. His
head was held SO far back that he didn't
notice the stone, and so he stumbled
over it, He began to storm the country
people around there for leaving huge
rock in the road. Then he went on.
Next came a company of merchants.
When they came to the stone the road
was so narrow that they had to go off
in single file on the other side. One of
them cried out: Ibid anybody ever see
the like of that big stone lying here the
whole of the morning, and not single
person stopping to take it away"
1t lay there for three weeks and no
one tried TO move it. Then the duke
sent around to all the people on his lands
to meet where this rock lay, as he had
something to tell them.
The day came, and great crowd
gathered Old Hans, the farmer, was
there, and so were the merchants. A
horn was heard, and splendid cayal-
cadc came galloping up. The duke got
down from his horse and began to speak
to the people gathered there.
"My friends, it was | who put this
stone here three weeks ago. Every
passerby has left it just where it was
and has scolded his neighbor for not
taking it out of the way"
lie stopped down and lifted up the
stone. Directly underneath it was a
round hollow, and in the hollow was a
small leathern bag, that all might see
what was written on it; For him who
lifts up the stone" lie united the bag
and turned it upside down, and out upon
the stone fell beautiful gold ring and
twenty large bright gold coins. - Goldea

pie and will each contain from twenty
five to thirty-four cattle. The meat is
usually kept forty. eight hours before
shipment, by which time all animal heat
is surely expelled from the meat. 1t is
from three to four days on the way to
New York, and on the way the ice is re-
supplied four times. Thus beef sent
from this place is Ut least seven days old
when it reaches the New York market.
In the winter time the same temperature
is maintained, but the ice needs only to
be replenished twice.
This concern uses about thirty-three
carloads of fresh ice per day. AS each
car averages fourteen tons, this makes
about five hundred tons of ice per day.
Ice is very cheap here, so much so that
it does not even pay 20 manufacture arti
fetal ice, much less to use any chemical
or other artificial means of cooling. One
notable fact connected with this process
of Strengthening cattle is that the hearts
of animals so killed are always empty of
blood, whereas those killed by other
processes are generally full.
Beef thus prepared is sent by rail to
the coast, shipped in similar refrigerators
on steamers to Liverpool and London,
where it is taken out of the coolers,
carted and sent by ordinary rail car to
Smithfeld and other markets to England,
and has always been in good condition
and superior to English beef. In one
instance meat was thus kept forty-three
days on disabled steamer and yet was
in fair condition on arrival in England.

Care of Goraniums.

1t is altogether useless to expect that
geranium plants, which have lowered
all summer in the open air, will, if taken
up and ported, continue to bloom equally
well during the winter season. If gera-
NUNS are wanted for winter Towering,
they must be specially grown during
summer, although it is not yet too late
to prepare few plants for that purpose.
If plants have not been specially re-
served, a few should be taken up i'm
mediately and ported, care being taken
to select the most compact and perfectly
formed specimens.
In potting, select porous or soft baked
pots, proportionate to the size of the
plant, and place in the bottom of each
at least an inch of broken pots in order
to insure perfect drainage. Keep the
plants in the center of the pots, and firm
the soil well around their roots. When
the plants are potted, water thoroughly,
and place in a shady situation for IL
week or ten days, after which time
they should be exposed to the sun.
Have them well supplied with water, and
remove all flower-buds until it is time to
bring them inside, which will be on the
approach of cool weather. Give them a
light, sunny situation, and an average
temperature of tifty-ive degrees. Do
not crowd the plants, and turn them oc-
casionally, so as to develop an even, sym
metrical shape.
The most suitable compost for gerani-
ums is mixture of two-thirds well-rot-
ted sod from an old pasture; one third
well decayed manure, and a fair sprink
ling of bone dust, thoroughly mixed and
pulverized before using. Water should
be given as often as necessary, care being
taken to give an ample supply, and when
the pots become filled with roots, liquid
manure water should be given twice a
week. One ounce of guano, dissolved
in two gallons of water, will be proper
proportion for this purpose.
When large specimens are desired the
plants should be repottcd as often as the
pots become filled with roots, or until
they have reached the desired size,
when they can be treated as above ad-
vised. -Garden.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Small flowers are often more desirable
than large ones. They have delicate
beauty and a modesty seldom found in a
large flower.
The best way to combat the blackberry
blight is to plant new patch every two
or three years on new spot. When the
old bushes are destroyed, burn them.
We would discourage the practice of
pruning fruit trees in the fall or early
winter. Early spring, or else in June,
appear to be better seasons for pruning
-CuitiCdt0r.
Double tuberoses often degenerate.
Just why they do so has not been clearly
demonstrated. The single ones have the
advantage of Towering nearly two weeks
earlier than the double ones.
Try handful of nitrate of soda on
two hills of late sweet corn. Spread it
on evenly and rake it in. You will see
difference in the color of the leaves in
two days after the first shower if your
land needs nitrogen.
If green trees are cut while in leaf,
they will dry sufficiently to be reasonably
good fuel by the middle of winter. 1t
is not necessary or advisable to cut them
up now; only sever them from the root,
that the work of seasoning may com
mence at once.
A good way of utilizing the bed and
banks of streams is to sprinkle a little
watercress there. 1t will flourish for
countless years, ana near a city is prof
table crop to market. This is one of
the earliest salads in spring, and the de-
mand of it is increasing.
Kerosene oil and milk, in the proper
ton of one quart of the former 10 five
quarts of the latter makes wash which
will destroy the appletree bark louise. 1t
will also kill the striped cucumber and
squash bug, and many other pests. 1t
can be applied with large syringe.
A great deal of butter is injured in

Black Teeth i'm Pigs.

All pigs have the little black teeth in
the middle of their jaws, which worry
people so much. These are the teeth in
the males which make the tusks and in
the females which keep the rope from
slipping off of the jaw when they are
caught to be rung. When the pigs are
young these teeth are very small, but
sometimes so sharp that they lacerate
their tongues or cheeks so that they can
not eat we'll and then they do misera-
bly," When pig shows these symptoms
these teeth should be broken off smoothly
with a pair of pincers. Taking the pig
between the knees and putting a small
cord with slipping moose around the
upper jaw will cause it to open its mouth
and at the same time it can be held
firmly, Sometimes these teeth turn out
ward and make trouble on this account.
/ have had a Victoria boar, nine years
old, whose tusks were six inches long
some "black teeth" In another boar
about as old / had to saw them off as
they took turn into the flesh. In sows
they grow from half inch to an inch in
length. Out of $50 Pigs this year,
mostly Duroc Jersey, there has been but
one ailing and this was a case of ''black
teeth" by which l mean, the incipient
tusks made his mouth sore, and after
they were broken off the pig thrived as
well as any. ID. Curtis.

A correspondent Of the Pittsburg Dis
patch writing from Glacier Bay, Alaska,
thus describes Muir glacier: We went
into Glacier bay, among the icebergs,
early in the day, and anchored within
half a mile of the face of the glacier.
All our party then went on shore, spend
ing the entire day on this stupendous
river of ice. AS we gazed upon it our
mouths were closed and our tongues were
silent, for we were dumb with rs onish-
ment, while that great ice slide dragged
slowly on its dreary way, at the probable
rate of quarter of mile per year.
At the face or front it presents per-
pendicular wall of ice 500 feet thick and
varies from three to ten miles in width,
extending back to the north probably
100 miles Hundreds of tons of ice are
falling off the face of this great glacier
every few minutes into the bay, splash
ing the water more than fifty feet high
and rolling up waves that tossed our ship
like small toy boat. AS the great ice
bergs fall off into the water below,
which is twenty five fathoms deep, sharp
reports like the discharge of heavy ar
tillery are constantly heard. This is
caused by the splitting up of the enor-
nous ice fields above.
The appearance of the ice, the most
pure in the world, is dazzling to the eye,
all the tints of blue, from the most deli
cate to the deepest indigo, being rep
resented. The top surface abounds with
little hillocks and miniature mountains
of ice. Great areas of earth, gravel and
large rocks the size of house are car
ried on the top of the ice fields from
place to place as this great foe, more
than thousand feet deep, of solid ice,
wends its weary way.
This brief description does not half
tell the story, and yet this is only one of
the many glaciers we saw. Our party,
manv of them old tourists. unite in say
ing that Lake George, Hudson river,
Niagara falls, Yellowstone park, and all
the rest of the American scenery to-
gether is put into the shade in compari-
son with that of Alaska.

Household Hints and Recipes.

Delicious pudding sauce is made of
mixed fruits, chopped fine, and cooked
until soft. Thin properly with water,
swecten, and lastly add well beaten
egg. Serve cold or hot.
To remove ink stains from printed
books, etc., take little oXalic acid,
which dissolve in small quantity of
warm water, then slightly wet the stain
with it, when it will disappear, leaving
the text uninjured.
Flowers may be kept very fresh over
night if they are excluded entirely from
the air. TO do this, wet them thorough
wet raw cotton or wet newspaper; then
place in cool spot.
An entree of small new carrots is made
by first making some rich, well seasoned
stock, then boil the carrots until tender
in sailed water. When done slice them
thin and drop them into a sauce pan con
tanning the stock, Let them Just come
to boil, then serve.
a receipt for tomato pie is as follows:
Peel and slice enough green tomatoes to
fill one pie; to this allow four table
spoon us Oh vinegar, one Oh Dullcf, ana
three and half of sugar, flavor with
nutmeg, bake with two crusts very
slowly. If you choose you may stew the
tomatoes first, and then there is no
danger of the pie being too juicy.
An excellent dish for plain home
dinner is made by stewing some veal
until it is tender, thicken the gravy with
flour, and season with pepper and salt,
and put in enough butter to flavor it
then make nice crust like biscuit
dough, have it when baked an inch and
a half thick. Put the veai and gravy
into an earthen pudding dish and cover
the dish with the crust. Bake and serve
hot.
To clean stained woodwork which is
also vanished, an old housewife recon-
mends the saving of tea leaves from the
teapot for a few days. Drain them, and
when you have a sufficient quantity put
them in clean, soft water; let them sim
mer for half an hour. When almost
cold, strain them out, and dipping a
flannel cloth in the water, wipe OIL the
paint, drying it with another flannel
cloth. One cup of tea leaves to one
quart OF water is the due allowance.
