THE SISTERS.
This Is the story thew told TO me.

Ihis is the story they told to me,
Asthe tide came In past shoai and bar:
LOOK 10 the east, where double star
flashes over the somber sea-
Inat Is waste OF stone and sand
lihat Is rock where The Sisters stand.
And over the sea their message flies
In letters of light, and thus II runs:
This is bar that the sailor shuns;
Keep to the right where safety lies.
death turks here In the shoals and sand,
This is the rock where The Sisters stand"
Over the water the wind swept down
One stormy night from the flying clouds,
And wrapped the pillows In IN Sly shrouds,
while all the sky was one dark fr0wn,
tAnd no lights CLEANED by sea or land,
Save two bright stars where The Sisters stand.
Shattered and drenched by the warning gales,
A ship came drifting across the sea,
With a scarlet ensign floating free
Over her torn AMI tattered sails, 81
And sank a wreck upon the sand
Beside the reef where The Sisters stand.
And when the morning. all cold and gray,
Came creeping over that lonely strand,
/ Mid the shells and seawced, hand in hand,
Two fair-haired ma dens silent lay.
A sea dirge shook the moaning sands,
AT the foot of the rock where the lighthouse

SIaughtering Wild Horses.

Up in northeastern Wyoming and in
northwestern Nebraska many bands
of wild horses still roam as fearless
and as fleet as in the days when the
country was an unexplored wilderness,
a terra incognito to the white man and
inhabited only by the Sioux, the Black
scent the approach of foes, fleet as the
antelope that may be often seen brows-
ing in security at their side, and free
as the winds that sweep their prairie
home, they have successfully eluded
the pursuit of cowboys and escaped
the destruction the white mans rifle
has melted out to the buffalo and the
game of the west.
One would naturally think that no
animals that roam the plains would be
less inimical to the industries of the
region than the fugitive bands of wild
noises, and it will surprise many to
learn that parties have been organized
in this city for the express purpose of
killing the wild stations.
Year by year horses are lost from the
bands in the territory. Some of them
are found; but when mares escape they
are lost beyond reclaim. When wan
dering over the plains they descry
bard of horses grazing in some distant
valley, or outlined from the summit of
some hill. They approach the band
from equine curiosity, and from that
day they belong to no man. The wild
stations are the guardians of the
bands. Always on sentinel duty, they
give the alarm when any foe of their
liberty approaches; in moment the
stragglers are rounded in, a fieet-foot-
ed stallion leads the van, and with
others at the TANKS and at the rear,
away they 60 at laundering charge.
Be the cowboy, mounted ever so well,
no horse bearing burden can over
take the riderless ones, and so it has
come about that the herds of wild
horses have increased instead of di-
in numbers the past few
years.
1t has been observed, however, that
few. if any colts are to be seen among
the bands during the autumn and win
Ter, and one naturally wonders what

The Farmer Independent.

The whole country is complaining
of an over-stock, not only of grain
but of manufactured articles. Il finan-
cial speaker recently stated that there
is a three years supply of iron and sew
eral other products. This is bosh;
there is not half years supply of any
manufactured articles. But there is
an excess of many things, because the
production is costantly going on, near
ly up to the customary rates, though
not quite.
The thought, however, we would
impress here is the comparative indie
pendence of farmers as class. Take
an illustration. In the manufaL turing
towns, if through a surplus, and low
prices and few buyers, the machinery
is suspended, both employers and en-
ployes must suffer, if not starve. But
Kansas, for example. owing to the
general surplus, corn is hard to part
with at Is cents bushel. Well, sup
pose nobody will take the com. Some
of it can be eaten; some of it will pro-
duce fat pork to grease it down." and
some of it will make very good fuel to
cook the corn bread and the pork,
and to keep off the frost. The fami-
lies that have corn on hand can draw
themselves within their own shells, so
to speak, keep fed, keep warm, wear
out the old clothes, and wait for bet
ter times. A few, deeply in debt to
hard creditors, will possibly loose
their homes, but not many. In such
times creditors are not likely to seize
upon property they can not dispose
of, whether grain or land; and, as
rule, they are wise enough to give the
debtors chance to pay N full in fu-
ture rather than to exterminate the
golden egg laying biped, feathered or
unfeathered.
Aside from those pressed with enor-
nous debts, farmers are in these times
the most independent class in the
realm. All over the country they can
hold to their wheat and corn, or be
turning the latter into hog products
that will keep. The purchase of hoped
for new articles of dress, of ornament,
of luxury, of comfort, can be put off
this year, and another if need be.
Coarse wooden goods to keep out the
cold are relatively nearly as cheap as
grain. A small stock of these for the
present winter, and some coal when it
is cheaper than corn for fuel, will carry
the family through the winter, and
the soil will yield food, at least. for
next year.
Now is-a good time for farmers to
feel, to assert and to show their indie
pendence; to live within their means,
within themselves, this course pursued
awhile, and there will be suppliants
at their doors offering gold for their
boarded food.-Prdirte Farmer

Peanut Flour.

Peanut flour may yet become an
important product of the Southern
States. 1t is reported that Virginia
farmers raised 100000 bushels of
these nuts the present year. Tenne-
see is down for 100000 bushels, and
North Carolina for $4,000 bushels.
The Savannah ga. Telegram says the
Virginians are beginning to manufac-
ture the peanut into flour for pastry
and biscuits. The same authority
says that if Africa sent a curse to
America in slavery, she certainly con
ferred blessingin the universally pop
ular peanut.

becomes OF the natural and regular in
crease of the horses. The answer Is
simple. In the spring and early sum-
mer cowboys and professional horse
hunters 60 out well mounted for the
express purpose of catching the young
colts. A band of wild horses is loca-
ted. They are watched perhaps for
days. When favorable opportunity
is offered the men sweep down on
them. Unable to keep pace with the
grown horses, easily winded, and not
thoroughly alive to danger, the colts
lag behind; lariat suddenly Kisses
through the air with unerring aim
and the colt is captive. Taken to
some ranch the colt is fed milk for
some time. 1t soon adapts itself to
the change in its food and readily be-
comes pet, more affectionate and de-
pendent than those of its kind born in
captivity. Hence the professional
horse-hunters are rather pleased when
recruits are made to the wild horses
through the escape of domestic ones;
and the stations, which alone prevent
the capture of the wandering horses,
become special objects Of kind solicit
The loss of mares sustained by va
rious horse breeders has at last be-
come so large that some measures
must be adopted to reclaim them, and
also to prevent further loss if posi-
BILE. From the horse-ranch of the
Hon. M. E. Post, situated about fifteen
miles northward of the city, nearly
two hundred mares have wondered
away, and of that number it is thought
fully 100 are now with the wild horses.
Other horse-raisers have suffered pro-
portionai losses, and so it has come
about that an organized effort will be
made this winter to exterminate the
stations, for once rid of them the en-
tire bands may be rounded up and Sc
cured. To that end. a party of hunt
ers will soon leave for Northwestern
Wyoming. They will 60 armed with
long-range rifles and will carry large
supply of forage, so that their horses
may be well fed during the winter.
The rest is easy Mounted upon their
granted animals, the hunters will
pursue the wild bands when they are
somewhat weakened by the rigors of
winter.
Riding as close aspossible the hunt
ers Will then shoot down the stations
from time to time. By this means it
is hoped that by spring nearly all of
the stations will be killed and the cap
ture of the mares thus be made posi-
BILE. In addition to the killing of the
stations the men will, to use a ia
miliar term, '.wolf it, as opportuni-
ty may afford. Coyote pelts are worth
nearly 81 in the market, while terri
torial bounty of S1.5U on each and
every pelt makes the value of each
about $3.50. By poisoning coyotes the
men will be able to make the expedi-
ton, if not directly profitable, at least
unattended with great expense. Cat
tlemen especially suffer loss by the
depredations of the coyotes, and any
efforts to rid the plains of those foes of
the young calves will meet with cor
dial wishes for success.
The hunting party will be paid
monthly wages, and will be gone all
winter. A report of their success and
adventures will be of interest in the
spring.-Larnnsie boomerang.

Soon after tho war men and wO-
men began to know for "A century
that their money was valuable only
as paper. The ingenious house
wives began to use it as money new
er before was used. Many families
were compelled to move from fine
homes to poor ones. They would
have little furniture to take with
them, but always a box of COnfed-
erato money and some bonds. They
would find their new home in de-
plorable condition, and at once
they would begin to improve its
appearance by papering it with old
journals and periodicals, and put
