Important to Farmers.

He had retired from the City and bought
a place in the country to take to farming
and breeding cattle, as a more suitable co.
cupation for a freeborn BritOn. Reading
the local paper one morning, he came
across the following ADVERTISEMENTS
"Hydraulic Rams for Sale, for particn'
lars apply to, SC"
"Janr," he said to his wife, "this is the
very thing we want our mutton has been
rather fabby lately, aud | want to im'
prove the breed"
So he wrote to the firm, and they re-
piled, asking him whether he wanted tho
ram to shove an ironclad off the stocks,
or to raise a tubular bridge.
And he wrote back and said he wanted
to raise a superior breed of sheep; and the
ramsellerS wrote again saying it was q
stupid and SenSeless joke; but they would
overlook il for once, and the price OF u
very good ram was $4,000. And he wrote
again remarking that with the best mutton
at Id. pound, it was lbsurd to ask such
a price; and then the firm waxed indignant
and asked him to write again as soon as
he cot rid of the jumps; and then ensued
a correspondence which is utterly unht Tor

THE TEXAS TRAIL.

The Kansas Legislature has taken
up the Texas cattle trail question. We
make the following extract from the
proceedings of the Senate
Senator Hewins offered the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, and the
rules being suspended they were passed
without a division:
Be it resolved, (by the Senate, the
House of Representatives concurring
thercin,) that,
WHEREAS, An effort is being made
to secure legislation by Congress, Great
ing so-callcd cattle trail across the
State Of Kansas, and
WHEREAS, Such measure would be
pcjudicial to the interests of the peo-
pie of this State, and beneficial only
to parties who neither reside in nor pay
taxes to this State therefore be it
Resolved, That our Senators in Con-
gress be, and are hereby instructed, and
our Representatives requested to assist
any and all legislation by the use of
every legitimate and proper means, to
the end that justice may be done, and
the best interests Of the people of Kan
sas subscrvcd.

ABOUT STOCK IN WINTER.
To the Editor Of the Dodge City TINES.

| To the Editor Of the Dodge City TIxEs.
l would like to send you some news
items, but everything in my vicinity
seems to run 80 smooth that nothing
tsanspires to mar the smooth surface.
1t still continues cold and l have no
doubt but every one knows that sunny
Kansas appears to have lost its grip,
and is taking on the foolish fashions of
the more eastern and northern states.
The people must follow suit or be left.
No more ranging out for stock in win
ter time, except on pleasant days. Few
er cattle or sheep and more shelter and
better feed will be the rule. Stockmen
are learning fast, but the changes keep
ahead Of them.
We hear every day of cattle dying
from the effects of the cold weather.
Surely if they had plenty of feed, shell
ter and good we'll water, they would not
die. The mortality seems to be con-
fined to the larger herds, where an in
sufficient supply of feed and shelter is
provided, and in such cases, the strong
er ones drive the weaker out, and being
the least able to endure the exposure,
pass in their checks. This same stock,
if properly cared for, would pay for feed
and shelter for the entire herd. Many
were caught by the storms before they
got shelter built. That is not good
excuse. The fall was long fine fall
for such work, and where there is as
much cheap feed as there are this fall,
and not confined to any particular To-
cafity, there is no excuse for these losses
Any farmer will exchange feed for
stock and they are few who have not
got some to spare. The practice of
hireing stock out to be wintered is
very poor one, for it is fact well
demonstrated that there is not one man
in each one hundred that will feed suf-
fcient to keep life in until spring.
One reason is they don t get enough
for keeping, and cannot afford to feed
we'll.
Very few have shedding or conven-
lent way of supplying water, and I am
of the opinion that as much stock die
from want of water, or having to drink
very cold water from hole in the ice,
as died from the lack of feed. My
stock drink nearly as much in winter as
in summer, when they get it fresh from
the well, and when it stands in the
trough or tank over night and a scum of
ice freezes over it, they will not drink
it at all. If my men or myself had to
pump every day for the stock, I doubt
very much whether they would get what
they wanted. Stock owners should see
that those who take their stock have
good accommodations, and then pay
what it is worth to keep we'll. Then
see that it is properly done, or buy the
feed and feed it themselves.

ROLLER SKATING.
An improvement in Comfort Over
the Amusement Of Our
BOyhOOd.

One of The most fascinating sports of
the present day is one which has only
recently become adopted as a popular
pastime. A few years ago only little
boys and girls could be found with roll
ler skates on their feet, sometimes dodg-
ing between the parlor furniture, to the
great danger Of their own bones and all
perishable articles in the room, and oc-
casionally ventur;ng out on the side
walk. Now there are large Kinks built
with smooth floors specially adapted to
roller skates, and they are patronized
daily and nightly by hundreds of pleas
ure-seekers.
There arc, of course, several reasons
for this change in the course of events,
one of which is no doubt the great
change in the manner in which roller
skates arc constructed In their earlier
days there was only single set of roll
lers or wheels in the middle of the sole,
and it was quite difficult to stand on
the ticklish support they supplied.
Now there is double set Of rollers, one
at each side, and it is almost as easy to
stand on them as on the sole of shoe
And, again. there is Il great change in
the cost to the user of the roller skates.
When they we're first introduced they
were SO hedged about by patents and
consequent high prices that scarcely
anybody could afford to buy them, and
it was only the little girl who impor-
tuned her rich papa that ever found
what luxury they were.
More recently burdcnsome patents
have expired, and as the skates came,
into more general use with the little
folks, older ones began to think that
there was room for them, too. to enjoy
themselves in like manner Thus there
came to be demand for more available
places Of exercises than parlors and
sidewalks, and an ingenious Yankee
concluded to try the experiment of
skating rink without any ice, it was sue
ccssful far beyond the anticipation of
its protector, and in short time others
followed in his footsteps in the building
of more Kinks, until now there are so
many Kinks, and so well are they pat
ronized, that in some cities the theaters
feel the effect in en- apparent loss of
patronage.
1t might seem at first thought that
the majority Of the users of the roller
skates would be drawn from among
those who formerly cut figure Fights by
design and stars by accident on the ice,
and of course many of them are recruit
ed from these ranks, for roller-skating
is not only warmer and safer than spin
ming over the ''tickley bcnders' of our
boyhood' days, but is available at any
time of the year. At the same time,
the incautious or unskilled patron of
the whirling wheels may, by sudden
upward tendency of the heels and a
downward inclination of the head, study
astronomy with as great facility as he
who takes his turn on icy fields.

INSANITY FROM LOCO.

The special correspondent of the
Globe Democrat, at San Antonio, on
the 18th inst, gives the following ac-
count of insanity and death caused by
drinking tea made from loco weed:
The remains of Peter b. Frecr, form
erly Ticket Agent for the Sunset Route
in this city. were brought here this
morning for interment by the San An
tonic Commandery of Kni ghts Templar.
He died in the State Mad House, at
Austin, at II last night. He was from
Rome, n. Y, where his family resides.
The narrowing details of his affection
of insanity, which first become appar'
ent about three months ago, and was
generally known to all his friends. The
direct cause of his insanity is not known,
though dark hints are made that fatal
draught of the poison, Spanish-Mexi-
can loco tea, was drank by him. OF
this tea the Mexicans say it only takes
one draught to render a man insane,
and all the stages of insanity. mild, Vi
olent and finally an imbecile before
death, are sure to follow. 1t is made
from the loco weed, q plant SINH
lar to the Northern milk weed, which
grows on our Texas and Mexican prair-
les, is of light-greenish color, and
when broken furnishes milky sap. 1t
is said that horses. cattle or sheep eat
ing of this weed become insane, or To-
coed. as the Mexicans say, aud death
very soon ends their suffering. 1t is
uery subtle poison, hard to detect BY
chemists. ard IFS work sure.

disc dealer has purchased two lots on
Bridge Street, north of the Wright
House, and in few weeks will :erect a
capacious brick store, and fill the build

but whisky, which always gets in its
work with certainty and dispatch. Whis-

in any other town in Iowa. The town
has declined in population for ten years;
