Purchase of an Immense Farm in Texas
Who Form the Syndicate.

The United States Land and Invest
ment Company of New York city has
purchased the King. Cattle ranch in
Texas for S6,500,O00. Among those
interested in the purchase are Henry
A. Herbert who owns the Lakes of
Killarney and about 10000 acres of
land in Ireland, whose income from his
estate has been reduced under the Land
act from $4,000 to $4,000 the Earl
of Aylesford, who recently sold his es-
tate in England for S800,000 and is al
ready the owner of $4,000 acres in
Texas John b. Benton, Edward
Everett, OF Boston, and John Hancock,
| member of Congress from Texas. Cap
tain King, the former owner of the
iarm, Is 80 years old he is from Tex
As, and has lived there all his life lie

raiders tlocked across the Rio Grandt
Captain King, at the head of an army
of cowboys, would meet and give then
a warm reception. 1t is said that he
hung over eighty cattle thieves.
The ranch is divided into two sec
tions, the first being the Santa Gertru

900 acres, where Mr.. King lived in re

posts used being of mosquito wood
which when smoked is as hard as iroI

sharp-Sighted Indians.

One of the most curious traits of the
Ayan Indians is their power OF seeing
the motion of fish in water. The Yu.
kon is very muddy, so much so that
when an ordinary pint cup is filled with
it nothing can be seen until the sedi-
ment has settled. The water is ten TO
twelve feet deep and the river wide.
Yet when a solitary salmon comes up
this river, its coming is notified, its pc.
sition identified, and it is often caught
in a hand-net. Some person, generally
an old squaw, is on the lookout in front
Of the huts on the bank At her call a
man runs to the beach, picks up hls
canoe, paddle, and net, guided at firs'
chiefly by the advice of the Indians
who gather on the shore, but as he ap-
proachs relying more on himself putt
the canoe into the proper position, and
while he regulates its movements with
his left hand, he plunges the net TO the
bottom with the right.
When it is remembered that the
mouth of the net has an area of onl,
about two square feet, the power tC
catch a solitary salmon by thrusting ii
directly into its course, seems most mi
racuous. No white man could see any
evidence OF the motion of the fish, ye'
the natives assert that motion is com
municated from the bottom to tht
top.
Out of seven attempts watched by
LieUt. Schwatka, two were successful,
though the fish were swimming frou
260 TO 500 yards from the bank. Sew
eral hundred fishes caught IN this wa,
were ia their houses and on their seal
foldings Science.

Oxen and Mules.

7
Fifty years ago the OK. even here in
Pennsylvania, was to be seen upon al.
most every farm. People plowed with
them, did all their hauling with them,
and with the exception of horse for
driving, or perhaps two for going to
the city markets, the horse had to take
back seat. Afte, that date the horse
began to supercede the OK to certain ex-
tent, but more and more each year. Sub.
sequently the mule began to make its
appearance aud to steadily take the
place of the horse, until it was believed
that in little while the only horse on
a farm would be one kept for family
driving.
1t must be admitted that the mule is
a very strong animal, and will live aud
grow fat on food that horse would
succumb to and perhaps sicken on. He
will live longer a. well as work harder,
and as a general thing his first cost is
less than the first cost of horse They
are bright and easily taught, aud in.
deed will do many things that are
quite incomprehensible to the horse
And as for the oxen, they are patient,
strong, enduring and moderate feeders,
and after they get in years they can be
fatted and sold for the shambles, and
takes It's rank among the best meat in
the market.
These arguments in behalf of the OK
and the mule we have often read, and
know of many people who have been
convinced by them and procured for
their farms one or both, and were well
satisfied with them. Nevertheless, in
time they had both disappeared from
perhaps neighboring estates, and the
old, discarded horse has made its reap
pearance and taken their places. 1t is
soon found out that the horse can do
all that both the others can do in a
general sense, and great deal more
in most other things and where there
is a general routine of work to be done,
one thing that can do all or the most
of them we'll enough, is better than a
great number of things each well
adapted to its particular purpose.
And this is the case with the horse.
A dozen years ago, we may repeat,
the mule was in great favor, and it
looked as if it was to supplant the horse
almost entirely. But since then the
horse has gradually but steadily regain
ed Its most favored position, and to
the same extent the mule has been rele-
gated to its less conspicuous place
And so we believe it will continue to
go on.
The horse is altogether indispensa
BILE aud however necessary or con-
venient it may be to use team of
mules for certain purposes, we regard
it as quite out o. the question that the
time has yet come, or believe that it
will ever come, when the horse can be
set aside, and its services can be dis
pensed with for that of any other work
ing animal -Gern,dntoaon Telegraph.

The Farmers Hog.

The different breeders of hogs have
their fast friends, and no doubt they
each have what their friends admire
in them, but the average feeder who
does not care to raise pigs te sell for
breeding purposes, should strive to get
hog that will make him the most
money for the feed put into it. In the
first place hog should have a good
coat of hair not bristles, but hair. A
black hog will not get scurvy on his
back the sun will not blister him. A
hog should have good constitution,
with round sprung rib and good girth
around the heart, short neck and head
well put on, short face and nose, tail
put on not way up on his back nor yet
too low down, hams round aud well
filled, not too sluggish disposition nor
yet too wild. By the purchase of the
right kind of male pig the feeder can
raise just such pigs as he wants to
feed, and have much more profitable
and healthy animals than he can buy.
The brood sows can be run on clio
yer pasture in summer at very little
expense, and if provided with some
good clover hay in winter it will re-
duce their feed bills. Not enough at
tention is paid to providing good pas.
lures for pigs, they are generally kept
in barren lot with generous sized
mud-hole in it, in which the water is
so foul that just the smell of it is sick
ening let alone having to drink it. AS
for change of pasture, it is never
thought of, on account of fencing it.
The sensible way to provide fol
them is to have enough land devoted
to their use so the pigs can have a
good sweet pasture of clover all the
time. DO not keep them on the same
old poisoned ground for ten years, but
when the grass gets run out plow il
and take off a couple of crops ther
re-seed to clover, and then let theil
hogships take fresh comfort, health
fat from the new fresh ground anG
grass. This ground will then supply
the living for the pigs, while in th'
other way of doing the pig lot is full
of weeds, bare of grass, and the bar'
ground covered with mud and hos
wallows.-Breeder's Journal

suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and

its sure connections, and rates always as

trains, and every possible care is taken

Trains run through without change oi

is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
