Young Lambs.

Although it is rather soon for estimating
upon the number of lambs due, in few
more weeks some of the ewes will come
| in, and if the farmer desires to push them
forward rapidly he must pay some atten-
ton to the dams now. The eve must en-
dure the cold, be deprived of her natural
green food, and nourish the coming lamb
in such manner as to bring it forth strong
and vigorous. The early lambs are the
ones that bring the highest prices when
sent to market, but an early lamb is q
nuisance and Improbable when it is stunt
ed and dwarfed by cold and insufficient
food. If the eve is sound and healthy,
and has been well fed on a variety of food.
she will have no difficulty in lambing or
providing for the lamb; but the trouble is
with the farmers, who invariably leave the
ewes to themselves during that period. and
give them no attention at time when 1t is
mostly required.
The ewes are naturally protected bv
their wool covering but when lambs come
into the world on a cold. bleak day or
night, they are too delicate to be left to
the care of the eve alone. and the farmer
who expects early lambs should be on the
alert by penning the ewes that are liable
to come in, and giving them good shelter
and dry bedding. The first care of the
lambs is one-half the difficulty removed.
and if they get a good supply Of milk they
will do excellently. but that is something,
too, to be noticed Feed the ewes liber-
ally on all the hav they will eat, and give
them a small allowance of mixed ground
grain, such as corn. meal and oats. with
some roots. Should milk fever occur,
feed on oats and hay alone, inducing the
lamb to draw as much as possible by plac-
ing it occasionally at the udder. Give
ewes that have lost their lambs others that
are twins, which may be done if not post.
poned too late. thereby allowing only one
lamb to the eve.

A California Bear story.

Henry Finn, of Inskip, CAL, let his S-ysaR.
old daughter ride upon horse that he va
taking to pasture. and after she had ridden
about forty rods from home. he lifted her e9
the horse ard told her to run home. On ~
turning he found that the child had not
reached home. Going 10 the spot whers b
last saw her. he saw bear tracks In the sand.
Search was made all night in the forest for
the lost child. In the morning - the searchers
were passing a swampy spot where the nader.
growth was thick, they heard her voice. They
called to the little girl and told her 10 come oSs
of the bushes. She replied that the bear
would not let her. The men then ersPs
through the brush, and when near the spoa
heard splash in the water, which the child
said was the bear. They found her stand
ing upon a log extending about halfway
across swamp. The bear had andertaken
to cross the swamp on the log, and. being
pursued, left the child and got away - rap
idly 40 possible. She had received some
scratches about the face, arms and legs and
her clothes were almost torn from her body
but the bear had not bitten her to hurt her.

We saw very sensible suggestion in
an exchange the other day on potatoes
Every year there are more or less scabby
potatoes that are not salable and must
therefore be utilized on the farm. II
your potatoes were not sorted in the fall
before they were placed in the cellar il
would be a good plan to attend to the
matter early in this winter. Carefully
pick out all below marketable size, includ-
ing any others that are sunsurnt. spongy,
or scabby. put them in separate pile,
and feed these out to the cattle and hogs
this winter. Many of our farm.
ers consider potatoes, when used
judiciously, an excellent feed for
milch cows and also for making beef.
While potatoes do not contain very large
amount of nutriment and will not take the
place of corn meal. yet they will keep the
stock in thrifty condition. Half peck ol
potatoes fed to each COW in the morning
after milking is the proper way to use
them. Better prices can only be obtained
by reducing the supply. Sell only good
sized, smooth potatoes. Do not use rough
potatoes on the table for the sake of econ.
cmy when good sized ones are SO plenty
If you keep any for seed and want to have
your crop continue to yield well for 8
number of years. then save the largest
tubers for planting.

TWO ORPHANS


On yesterday forenoon while the Board
of County Commissioners were in session,
Mrs. Mary Allen, who resides ON the cor
ncr of Bent and Twenty first streets, APP
peared before the Commissioners and
made a statement in regard to a couple of
orphan children whom she had furnished
breakfast to on yesterday. She stated
that they had wandered way from Chi
cage and had found their way eventually
to this city, and hat they were in destitute
circumstance and wanted to be sent back
to Illinois. She wanted the County Com
missioners to provide transportation for
them and have them sent back. Their
names were not stated to the Board who,
however, listened to what she had to say
and without indicating what they would
do in the matter, directed Mrs. Allen to
have them brought to the Court House in
order that they might be able to better de.
termine what aught to be done with them.
They did not, however, appear but will
undoubtedly do so tomorrow.

THE SURVEY FINISHED.
Preliminary Arrangements for the
Burlington & Missouri
To be Continued From Colorado to
Cheyenne.
Speculation On New Railroads is
Again Rife.

A party of Burlington 4 Missouri en-
gineers, headed 10y f. II. Sankey, who
has charge of the survey, reached Chey-
ennc yesterday, having surveyed Il route
through from Big Beaver, on the Burling-
ton & Missouri road in Colorado, to this
point.
A LEADER reporter interviewed Mr..
Sankey in regard to the work in which the
party have been engaged, and learned
some facts which will be of interest to the
people of Cheyenne, That gentleman
states that while this is perhaps what
ought to be termed Il preliminary survey,
and while it is not the first one of the
kind which they have made, yet at
the same time il is the best route
they have found yet. Mr.. Sankey was
quite emphatic, and freely stated that the
route which they have come over is a
most excellent one and that nothing
which could be expected in reason could
has Just surveyed, and not quite completed
yet, commences rs before stated at Big
Beaver on the Burlington & Missouri in
Colorado, and runs in a no~rthwesterly di-
rection to Grow Springs, whic his about on
the Wyoming line. From thence it fol
lows right up the valley of Grow Greek
until it strikes this city.
Referring to the statement that was
made some days ago, to the effect that Il
party of Burlington & Missouri engineers
had beer seen on the south side of the
Union Pacific track at Egbert, engaged in
making a survey, Mr.. Sankey stated that
no point on the route which they have sur
yeyedis within twenty miles of that place.
The reporter asked Mr.. Sankey if he
could give any information in regard to
the time when active operations would
commence. In reply, he said: Wei |
presume you could tell as well about that
as | could. The fact is, we subordinates
cannot tell much better than anybody else
about that.
1--WE have heard that the Burlington &
Missouri propose to push the construction
of this road at once said the reporter.
'Oh, certainly, certainly, there is no
question about that, but as to how soon it
will be before they do that, is more than
| can say.
Mr.. Sankey then in turn interviewed
the reporter as to what the people here
generally think about the Burlington &
Missouri, and also what the prospects are
in regard to the Cheyenne, Black Hills &
Montana road, He remarked that he
knew this county had voted 5000, 900 to
that road and wanted to know where
was the first objective point on the
proposed new road. He also inquired
whether Mr.. Bothwells mission, had
proved Il successful one or not, and when
told that it had, he appeared to think that
this item of news might be of some i'm
portance to the Burlington & Missouri.
He said that his party had no orders to
proceed any further thar this point.
There are thirteen men in Sankey's
party, and they will remain inthis vicinity
for some days.
From all the information hat could be
gathered it appears altogether likely that
the Burlington & Missouri will be pushing
in this direction before snow flies.

that they had been stolen from her anq
taken to California. She was always
wanting to 90 there and was constantly
making preparations. Another thing
which proved considerably upon her was
the idea of going into the mountains She
could see the Rockies to the south and
west of Cheyenne, and they probably re-
minded her of the Swiss mountains and
she always wanted to go there. Once h
wandered away and for several days was
not heard from, but finally made her ap-
pearance at Fort Russell in a half starved
condition, and begged that they
would sell her some food, offering
to pay for it out of the Sc which
she had in her possession. She
was brought back to Mr.. Eames', but
not long afterwards she wandered off
again, and this time made her appearance
at the Nine Mile Ranch almost fam
ished.
When the County Hospital was ready
for the reception of patients she was with
Others transferred to that place, and since
that time has been i'll charge of MIR. Will
sick, who has provided for her comfort.
Since she has been in the hospital
she has wandered away twice, and on
both occasions to the westward and
towards the mountains, for the purpose
of finding California and her lost chill
dren. On one other occasion, only a
few days ago, she left the hospital
and Mr.. Wilsick found her with Il little
bundle Of something, trying to get on one
of the horses in the vicinity of the hospi-
tai. Yesterday she would talk but little,
but said to Mr.. Wilsick who can talk with
her in her own tongue, Il want to find
my little ones, and | shall find them in
this world, and if don't, then I'll find
them in the other world, | know | shall
see them again After saying this her
mind again began to wander on all sorts
of subjects, and in talking to herself she
would frequently strike the window sill,
standing with her back to the reporter,
as though she did not wish to be seen.
She is, of course, almost hopelessly in
sane, and it is probable that her case will
soon be brought officially to the attention
of Probate Judge Bergman.
