established fact that these Island cattle
wonderfully adapt themselves to our
climate, makes me hopeful that the day
is not very far distant when the grand
dairy possibilities of our section shall be
made apparent; that it will not be
necessary to place upon the breakfast
table in New Orleans butter made in
New York or Michigan, or coffee made
palatable with milk drawn from COW
in Illinois.
Of all the neglected industries in the
Gulf States, none is more striking
than that of the dairy. We can, and
we ought to produce every pound of
cheese and butter, and every gallon of
milk that we consume, and nothing
will help on so desirable an end as the
introduction of dairy COWS, such as are
to be found In jersey and Guernsey.
These two islands, much alike in
climate, soil and people, have very dis,
similar breeds. l spent a day in
Guernsey and saw many Of their best
cattle. They are grand dairy COWS.
Such rich skins l never saw, but they
are courser than the Jerseys, and lar
ger, while their turnout in butter,
though good, is not equal to that of the
Jerseys.

At PEACE.
BY JAMES BERRY BENsEL.

And said, "she is dead: could not brook,
Again on that marvellous face to look"
But they took my hand and they led me in,
And left me alone with my nearest kin.
Once again alone. in that silent place,
My beautiful dead and l, face to face.
And could not speak, and could not stir,
But stood and with love looked on her.
With love, and with rapture, and strange
surprise
/ looked on the lips and the close shut eyes; ;
On the perfect rest and the calm content,
And the happiness there in her features
blent;
And the thin white hands that had wrought
so much,
Now nerveless to kisses or fevered touch.
My beautiful dead who had known the strife,
The pain and the sorrow that we call Life.
Who had never faltered beneath her cross
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on
loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips away
Lay light OH her blessed mouth that day.
| smoothed from her hair a silver thread,
And wept, but could not think her dead
| felt with a wonder TOO deep for speech,
She could tell what only the angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my ear,
Lest there might be something | should not
hear.
Then out from the silence between us stole
A message that reached to my inmost soul :
''Why weep you today who have wept before
That the road was rough must journey Ger?
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold, all my life have longed for rest
Yea, even when l held you on my breast.
And, now that lie in breathless sleep,
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep.
My dearest,J know that you would not
break,
Ii you could, my slumber, and have me
wake;
For, though life was full of things that bless,
have never till now known happiness"
Then dried my tears, and with lifted head
l left my mother, the beautiful dead.

Man.

Puck.
Man that is born of woman is small
potatoes and few in hill.
He riseth up today and fourisheth
like rag weed, and tomorrow or the
day after the undertaken hath him in
the ice box,
He goeth forth in the morning warb.
ling like the lark, and is knocked out
in one round and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt,
and the tax collector pursueth him
wherever he goeth.
The banister of life is full of splinters
and he slideth down it with considera>
bic rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright sun
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth the
bank teller with sight draft for $357.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his path,
and the wheelbarrow riseth up and
smiteth him to the earth, and falleth
upon him and runneth one of its legs
into his ear.
In the gentle spring time he putteth
Oil his summer clothes, and blizzard
striketh him far away from home and
filleth him with woe and rheumatism
He layeth up riches in the bank,
and the president speculateth in mar
gins, and then goeth to Canada for his
health.
In autumn he putteth on his winter
trousers, and a wasp that abideth in
them flleth him full of intense excite
ment.
He starteth down cellar with an ole.
ander, and goeth first hastily, and the
oleander cometh after him and sitteth
upon him.
He stitch up all night to get the re-
turns from Ohio, and in the end learn,
eth that the other fellows have carried
it.
He buyeth watch>dog, and when
he cometh home late from the lodge
the watch dog treeth him and stitch
beneath him till the rosy morn.
He goeth to the horse trot and bet.
teth his money on the brown mare,
and the bay gelding with the blaze
face winneth.
He marrieth a red headed heiress
with wart on her nose, and the next
day her parental ancestor goeth under,
with few assets and great liabilities,
and cometh home to live with his be-
loved son>in.law.

The Island of Jersey.

Hon. Geo. Dufee, in Times Democrat
In the great Blight of La Manchee
lies group of small islands, once
doubtless a part Of ancient Normandy,
for even now, at low tide, they are
barely separated by line of rocks
that are held in wholesome dread by
mariners who frequent this portion of
the great channel. From the largest
of these islands l write. Originally
but a bleak granite rock, rising out of
the great ocean, today it is an earthly
paradise, made so by the labor and
taste and patience of generations of an
industrious people.
Eight hundred years ago Jersey be-
lOnged to Normandy, but when that
kingly man, William, passed over to
England, fought the battle of Hastings,
and made himself England's conquer
or, the fortunes of these islands
changed, and for the long centuries
since William went his way, English
rule has been the Jersey rule. And
to the student of English history it is
interesting to note that while NormanN
dy was lost to the British crown, these
islands remain, strong in an intense
loyalty to the Mistress Of the Seas, yet
in many ways retaining the laws, the
language, the customs of a thousand
years ago. The language they speak
is not English or French, but Norman
desc. A farmers lad would UNDER
stand an Englishman almost as well as
an educated Frenchman, while the le>
gal or court language Is French, and
the same language must be used in the
estates" or Legislative Assembly-the
ruling body, made up of Jurats, or
delegates, from each of the twelve par
ishes Of the island.
In the town of st. Heliers, the En-
glish is commonly used, but among
themselves, never. Not only have
they preserved their ancient language,
but in many customs and habits you
are made aware that the people you
are among are thousand years old.
A friend relates that not many years
ago, an ancient manuscript was found,
written not long after William the
Conqueror died. 1t was history Of
Jersey, done up in verse and the Ian.
guage used by the author, about seven
hundred years ago, is almost identical
with that current among these people
today, so nearly alike that any Jersey
child can read and understand the
story.

Territorial Veterinarian Hopkins, who
has returned from his trip to Fort Robin
son and adjacent points, reports range cat
tie safe from any danger of the fever. In
Hat Greek basin, along Horse Greek and
in that neighborhood, the cattle which
were driven from Texas are sick. Many
of these were entirely healthy when they
left the railroad, but probably contracted
the disease from cattle which had pre-
ceeded them e the trail. DR.. Hopkins
advised the collection of the carcasses of
dead animals into a central spot, as the
distribution of the bodies over the prairie
Injuries the range. 1t is a well known fact
that the grass which grows up around the
body of the dead animal is Stunned by
stock, and the collection of the dead ones
into a limited area will restrict the de-
struction of the grass.

STOCK SHIPMENTS.
An Interview With the Secretary of
the Stock Association.
Several Reasons Why the Run Will
be Light This Year.
Fever Facts From Fort Robinson
With Other Cattle Notes.
Cattle shipments This Year.

Reference was made in The LEADER
yesterday of the present outlook for cattle
shipments this year, and it was stated
hat many stockgrowers and commission
men inclined to the opinion that the ship
ments would be as small as those last
year, while nothing like the run of 1882
could be expected. Various reasons have
been given for the falling off, and with
the intention of e~liciting still further par
t%iculars, a reporter Of THE LEADER yes
terday interviewed Mr.. Thomas Sturgis,
Secretary of the S~tockgrowers' Associa-
ton.
There is nothing surprising in the APP
parent falling off" said Mr.. Sturgis,
although some seem to think that, upon
the basis of ordinary increase, the ship
ments should be larger each year"
What is your explanation of the
alleged difference in the runs of range
cattle in 1882 and the shipments this
Year,"
ut is easily explained. OF the 49,
600 cattle shipped from Wyoming in 1882
a large per cent. were cattle that were
driven into this Territory from Oregon
and Western territories. They were not
the increase of the herds OF Wyoming,
yet they were credited to be the Wyom-
ing production. In 1879 and 1880 fully
$4,000 head we're driven in from the
West"
Have the more recent drives kept up
that addition to the beef product Of the
Territory"
Not by any means. Not half the
number have been driven in that were
shipped in 1882. Several years ago I
called attention to the fact that, when the
cattle marketed from the. Territory were
only the actual surplus increase of the
herds, the shipments must, of necessity,
fall off. Besides, we are now feeling the
effects of the severeWinter four years ago.
Many calves persisted during that severe
time, and the loss of those calves is
now being felt, for this year the males
would go to market as beef cattle. We
are simply sending out now about the
legitimate increase of our herds, less the
calves that were lost four years ago"
'Do you think the fever scare will have
much effect on shipments this year2"
81 don't know. 1t should not have any
effect"
Can you give anything like an ap-
proximaie estimate of the size of the
shipments this year
81 cannot say anything about that. |
don't know
Callers made demands upon Mr.. Sturgis
time at the above stage of the CONVEX
sation and the reporter withdrew. Later
in the day the reporter talked with several
stock men and Others who have studsd
the situation closely and while some were
not inclined to express any definite opin.
ion, others stoutly asserted hat the ship
ments would not exceed 100, 900 head this
year. Last year III, 900 cattle were sent
to market from this territory.

The sale of government mules at Camp
Carlin yesterday, was well attended and
the bidding was active. T~wenty-seven
mules, and a horse belonging to Mr.. East,
were sold. n. r. Davis, NJ. A. Arnold,
G. NJ. Bradley, Henry Thompson and
others were the principal purchasers.
The animals sold all the way from $50 to
over one hundred dollars, the average
price paid being about ten dollars more
than the stock was worth. A pheton
sold for $97, Mr.. East's horse brought
800, and a number of ambulances sold for
good prices.

Paxton & Parker order thirty cars at
0'Fallon's for the 30th.
Addoms & Glover are expected to load
fifteen cars to-day at Pine Bluffs.
There were fifteen cars of jackson cattle
from Rawlins at the yards here yesterday.
Goldschmidt & Fisher are booked to
load twenty-one cars at Pine Bluffs to-
day.
DIR. Hopkins leaves to-day for Rock
Greek in connection with his duties as
Territorial Veterinarian.
The Guthrie & Oskamp company will
send out a train of thirty-nine cars from
Pine Bluffs to-day.
Wild rumors are easily launched during
times OF excitement and caution will not
always prevent one from being misled by
them. Referring to the outbreak of
Texas fever around Fort Robinson a COW
boy yesterday informed a reporter of The
LEADER that 5000 Texas cattle would
probably die from the disease, The
records at the office of the Secretary of
the Stock association are doubtless more
reliable than idle rumor, and from them
il is learned that all such reports are
greatly exaggerated.
