stone Valley in Minnesota, where
all nations of the red men could
meet with no enemy to molest or
make them afraid. But finally a
fierce mountain tribe of many
thousands took possession Of these
famed hunting grounds, driving
and keeping all other people out.
Many futile attempts were made to
dislodge them without avail. Many
lives being lost in the numerous
battles for their recovery, grea.
council of all Of the tribes of the
plains was called, and their medi-
cine men ordered to invoke the
Great Spirit in their behalf. After
fasting many days and suffering
selfinhicted tortures, applying acts
of their medicine men, the Great
Spirit heard their cry and shook
the earth with his wrath. The
earth became darkened, smoke
and fire belched forth from the
ground, the vivid lightning flashed
and the thunder rolled, and the
mountains sank and the valleys up
heaved to the sky. The earth rose
and fell like the heaving of storm
tossed ocean, burying all in one
common grave. Towering buttes
and desolation marked the spot
where once stood the fertile PLANES.
Not one man, woman, or child was
left to tell the tale of the naughty
tribe of the mountains who had in
CURED the anger Of the Great
Spirit, leaving these Bad Lands a
monument to his wrath"

Treatment of Balky Horses.
II. II. Shepherd, in Live Stock Journal.l

n. II. Shepherd, in Live Stock Journal]
A balky horse altracked my at-
tention recently as a driver was
furiously beating it. Now that
such horses are very vexing and
trying to our Christian natures all
must admit, but l would like to
remind my fellow-farmers that
abuses never subdue a stubborn
horse. Animals are as susceptible
to kindness as the human family.
and have found it the best treat
ment for balky horses. BY abuse
they generally get worse instead of
better. 1t seem natural at times
fora man to beat a balky horse, but
he should try and CONTROL his feel
ings, as with every blow he seems
to intensity the animals stubborn.
ness, and as a rule the horse comes
off victorious in the end-onlv
starting when it pleases. He is
much like the man in this respect,
the more you attemp to drive him
the more stubborn he becomes.
My experience is that lonesome.
ness is the best remedy for balki-
ness. Just tie up the horse and let
him stand by himself and he will
get tired. Such treatment seems to
do more good than anything l have
ever tried. This is not always pos
sible, but in many cases it can be
done, and a few lessons of this
kind often cures a balky horse and
turns him from an ANNOYANCE into
a pleasure. Two or three hours
lonesomeness generally suffices, but
some obstinate horses may require
more. After such treatment they
generally start off on their own &C.
cord. My plan is, as soon as the
horse stops and refuses to go at the
word, to tie him so that he can
move as little as possible, and then
leave him. In ordinary cases the
horse is willing enough to 60 after
such treatment. l had mare that
would stop in the middle of q
branch with load and no coaxing
would induce her to start until she
got ready. I then tied her to a
tree with her sect for hours and
when | had let her stand about
three hours, when [ returned she
would hardly wait for me to get my
seat before she started off. After
two punishments of this kind I
never had any further trouble.

Scotch Methoj Of Selection.

An exchange remarks that no
breeders of horses, perhaps, are
more painstaking or more success
full than those of Scotland; and
their methods are sufficiently pecu-
liar to merit special attention. The
selection of stations for neighboc-
hood service is thoroughly system
atized, and is an altogether differ
ent manner from the method in
vogue in the United States. The
method Of procedure is something
like this: Those in any given
neighborhood who are especially
interested in horses choose from
among their number a few men well
fitted for that work, and have them
attend stallion shows, which are
instituted for the purpose of giving
the public chance to select horses
for neighborhood service. The
committees visit these shows, in
spect the animals on exhibition,
and contract with some horse own
er or owners for the exclusive use
Of their horse or horses by his eli
ents for the period of two years.
The terms of service are agreed up
on, all the details are arranged, and
not infrequently handsome pre-
MUM is given in addition for an un-
usually desirable stallion. The good
points of this system are obvious.
Among others the community has
an opportunity of bidding for the
best, under circumstances where the
proofs of merit must be forthcom-
ing. Besides, those who are not
prepared to choose intelligently for
themselves haye the advantage of
expert judgment from others.
There are some points in this which
American horsemen can think over
with profit.

Origin of the Bad Lands.

Red Bird, an old chief of the
Mandan Indians, visited the city
of Mandan, Dakota, a few days
since, and in an interview with a
Pioneer reporter told the following
legend of the bad lands: "Many
hundred years ago what is now the
bad lands was high plain or table
land, covered with rich pastures
and forests abounding in all kinds
of game. They were the favorite
hunting grounds of all the tribes
who annually came to participate
in the chase and procure the winter
supply of meat-the calumet
grounds, where all could meet in
common, and the blood hatchet
was buried, as in the famous Pipe

Beef SlauPhterinr in the West.

The Northern Pacific Refrigera-
tor Company, of which Marquis de
Mores is manager, has nearly COM
pleted the immense system under
taken a year ago to provide the
Northwest with an outlet for dress
ed and refrigerated beef, says the
Denver News. The system in
cludes packing houses at every beef
market along the Nortern Pacific
from Helena, M. r., to Duluth and
St. Paul and Minneapolis. A large
slaughter house is to be built at the
Minnesota Transfer as soon as pre-
liminaries connected with the pur-
chase of a site are concluded. The
house at the transfer will be one of
the largest in the system, as it will
be the depot for all winter ship
ments, and a large share of those
during the summer. The slaughter
house at Medora is to be enlarged
this month to 60x26O, which will
make it the largest packing house
west of Chicago, and give it a
capacity for cooling 700 beeves a
day. The company was originally
capitalized for $4,000, and the
investments by Marquis de Mores
and his father-in-law, Louis Won
Hoffman, the noted New York
banker, have exceeded this capital
by 100000 more. Thus far the
enterprise has been chiefly one of
investment and preparation, and
the work has been embarrassed by
the more than expected success Of
the whole plan. Sales are averag-
ing $4,000 a day this month, and
points where facilities were two
ago regarded ample are
now handling double and treble
the business expected. At Duluth
shipments have been three times
those calculated upon. The COM
pany is slaughtering forty beeves
day at Minnesota Transfer, and
sells 100 beeves daily in St. Paul
and Minneapolis. Duluth ships
120 beeves a week, and facilities
are being secured for shipment of
l 900 a month. In order to meet this
development it has been decided to
reorgan1ze the Northern Pacific Re-
frigerator Company. The company
is Marquis de Mores and Mr.. Won
whose interests are iden-
tical. They will capitalize the new
at about 100000 ex-
pecting this figure to cover the ul-
Innate investment necessary to
place the complete system in full
and perfect working order. MIR.
Won Hoffman and his son-in-law
recently journeyed together over
the Northern Pacific, inspecting
their properties, and they were
thoroughly gratified at their pros
porous condition, which warrants
the reorganization at higher
amount of capital stock.

Brands on HIDES.

The effect on the value of hides
by the brandig process in vogue
among ranchmengenerally has been
discussed, time and again, with.
out securing any advantageous
change in the system.
The tanners, who met in st. Louis
last week were determined to pre-
sent facts and figures to the cattle
men in convention assembled show
ing that the loss to the owners of
range cattle by the present system
of branding amounted to S2,O0O.OOG
annually. They figured it out.that
the depreciation In the value of
hides averaged s1.OO to each hide
AMI as about 100000 cattle were
marketed yearly the owners of these
cattle lost in the aggregate $1,000.
900.
Leather made from badly brand
ed hides sell 5 @ 1Oc per tb, less
than if free from brands, hence, q
branded hide is on an average
worth one dollar less than one that
is not branded. Packer hides, free
from brands, are sold at the present
time at lie and side brands are of.
tered at Sc with a heavy stock in
market. The price Of cattle is not
governed by the beef alone, but
also by the value of the offal.
The tanners recommend to the
convention that no brand upon any
animal should exceed five inches:in
size; that the branding should be
done on place least injurious to
the hide and that a premium be
offered for a device for marking
cattle in such manner that it will
be effective and at the same time
not injurious to the hide.
The executive committe of the
permanent organization of the Ma
tional Cattlemen's Association has
the matter under consideration and
it is hoped that it will not be allow
ed to sleep the sleep that knows no
waking.
The range cattle business, in the
matter of system, has received
great impetus within the past four
years and there is no good reason
why an improved manner of brand
ing cattle may not be agreed upon.

Tn the platform adopted by the Chica o.,

In the platform adopted by the Chicago
convention is the following resolution:
"We denounce the fraud and violence
practiced by the Democracy in Southern
States, by which the will of the voters is
defeated as dangerous to the preservation
of free institutions
Now every Southern man knows this to
be lie, and SANDER of the basest charac-
ter, written not with the hope of correcting
an evil, but with the sole intention OF
kindling the ire of the humane and right
eous (?) North against the people Of the
South.
Let southerners read this resolution, and
consider the depth of the hatred and base
ness that inspired it, and then decide il
they will vote to keep in power the party
that utters such libel. Blaine stands on

endorse this SANDER. Will you endorse him

AN IDLE IDYL.
Say, maiden fair,

Say, maiden fair,
OF modest air,
That passeth by me daily;
Turks there care
Beneath the hair
Which crowns thy head Sc gayly?
Eyes black as ink,
And cheeks Of pink,
With cheeks that pout so sweetly,
My heart does sink;
Does ever think
Of ankle turned so neatly?
Hast thou thought
OF ruin wrought
BY charms SO proud, so human?
Vert thou not taught
That man is caught
By gazing on the women?
Dost thou not know
That grievous woe
Thy footsteps follow lightly;
That storm will blow,
Unless tits so,
Thy lover guards the nightly :?
In hubble cot
I'd link my lot,
My love to thee fast pinning;
And time shall not
Abate one jot
The love l had when winning.
What's that you say?
You answer nay?
1t must be that I've tarried.
No hopefal ray
Illumes my way
AS whispers she. I'm married"
