Want the Best.

Those who consume the best cuts of
beef sold in the city markets have no
doubt learned ere this that no part of
the decline in cattle from the ruling
figures of a year ago has been divided
with them in a corresponding reduction
in the retail prices of meats. Cattle are
materially lower, but sirloins, tender
IONS, porter-house steaks, the best
rounds and choice roasts cost just as
much as eyer from the block. When
asked about this by the consumer the
butcher explains it all in this way:
Those who utilize the rougher portions
of the beef are less able to pay than a
year ago, and in order to get rid of all
of that grade of beef they have been
compelled to reduce prices heavily. If
they did not do this they claim that low
grade meats would be left on their hands
dead loss. They also say that among
average buyers Of beef there Is a con-
slant tendancy toward making use of
only the best cuts. To check this incli-
nation, and get rid of all parts with
equal readiness, they have wldened the
difference in prices in the way indicated
bringing some parts of the rougher meats
down to the cost of live cattle. All this
means that people of average thrift are
largely paying for the meats of the le-
ultimately poor as we'll as the shiftless
and lmprovident.-[Ex Elk.

Fatality Among Bulls.

Bad Lands Cowboy: In the the report
of DIR. Hopkins, veterinarian of the
Wyoming ASSOCIATION, cause of the
death of states bulls and cattle was
brought out that had escaped the notice
of our cowmen. It was supposed that
states cattle die in larger numbers than
others because the cold was more intense
and the feed OF different kind. It ap-
pears that they do not die as much from
this reason, however, as from the fact
that these changes bring diseases, COM
mon to all pilgrims on the range. The
fact has now been established beyond
all doubt that bulls, and especially
pilgrims, cannot run with the herd the
whole year without serious loss. They
must be taken up and fed. If they are
not, disease in some shape and death
are sure to attack them.
Livingston Enterprise: In this con-
nection 1t is worth mentioning that
Granville Stuart & Co.'s herd suffered
the loss of fully 100 thoroughbred and
high grade bulls last. winter. They were
pilgrim stock and their value would ag-
gregate $4,000 or more.

The Judith Roundup,
[StOckgrowers' JOurnal.1

lotOckErOWerS JOurnul.l
The Judith roundup is one of the best
and most ably conducted of any in the
territory. The following are some OF
the laws regulating roundups Of that as
sociation:
At the spring roundup each man must
start out with not less than four we'll
broken saddle-horses and also an ex-
perienced cowboy. If a man brands
less than 100 calves he can pay the
roundup association at the rate of S. per
head for each calf branded; but if over
100 is branded he is compelled to furnish
one man for the seasons work; if the
calves branded number over $50, three
men; and for every additional 25O calves,
one extra man. A captain ard tallyman
are appointed, whose business it is to
keep tally of all calves branded on or
off the range. The roundup all 90 in
one mess, paying a cook Sl25 per month.
They also have two horse herders, one
for the night and one for the day, and
also about ten outftting wagons, con-
tanning branding irons, blankets, bed
ding, ETC., and everything necessary for
work. All the horses are brought into
camp by daybreak and the boys are all
ready to mount at o'clock. They make
a roundup IN the forenoon, drive to the
corral and brand in the afternoon.
Everything is conducted in as thorough
and systematic manner as a military
company. The fall roundup is conduct
ed in the same manner.

The Haunted Camp.
(River Press

:
From gentleman who has just re-
turned from the Little Rockies we heard
the following story, which is vouched
for as being authentic:
In the Little Rockies there is min.
ing camp on a small stream known as
Goose creek. A party of miners had
sunk shaft to depth of about II feet
when they came upon the skeleton of a
man which crumbled to dust on being
exposed to the air. BY his side was an
ancient pick, very rusty. Nothing further
was thought of the matter except how
the body got there. One of the men
took tho pick home with him and threw
1t under the stove. During the night he
was awakened by hearing noise as if
some one was working with pick. Up
on investigation he found the pick was
seemingly endowed with life, striking
with regular motion on the bottom of
the stove. He tried to investigate the
matter but could not solve the mystery
He stood tie racket that night and the
following day after finishing work threw
the implement into the shaft. That night
he went to the shaft and the same regu-
lar click, click, was heard. Another man
concluded to pursue investigation and
ascertained that no outside agency was
at work, still the mysterious noise con-
tinued. On another occasion voice was
heard outside the cabin apparently di-
viding money, these words being con-
stantlyrepeated: ''This is your share,
this yours, this mine" On opening the
door no one was visible. These myster-
ious manifestations haye had the effect of
driving several men out of camp. At
another time miner was at work pros
pecting in the gulch when stranger
suddenly appeared, walked along some
distance as if prospecting, worked a
moment and then as suddenly dlsap-
peared. The miner then concealed him
self and watched for the spectral stran-
ger but he did not appear.
great many theories have been ad-
vanced; many are of the opinion that the
buried body was that of Nelse Kyes, 9TH
ers are equally pronounced in the opin-
ion that the body found is that of one of
the early voyagers and one of the crew
of the petrifed ship which was recently
discovered in that section. The belief
is daily gaining ground that the Little
Rockies are in the land of Ophir. made
famous as the locality where all the gold
used in the building of Solomon's temple
was obtained. AS it is now the matter is
a mystery and will probably never be
unravelled. 1t may be that the ghost is
guarding some hidden treasure. If, how
ever, he desires that the treasure should
be unearthed he wonld be less demon
strative and allow the miners TO prose-
cute their work.

A New Industry.

Porpoise fishing for the oil alone has
been carried on for many years off the
North Carolina coast, but last summer a
company was formed with it's head
quarters at Cape May, N. j., not only for
trying out the oil, but for utilizing the
hide. The process for rendering the oil
is very simple. and the average amount
obtained is from six to eight gallons. The
experiment made last summer by this
company proved quite successful, $3,74O
being realized, it is said, from an outlay
of 81 900 in five weeks fishing, and It's

KILLING CATTLE.
The Manner in Which Butchering il
Done-Utilizing The Carcasses.

The Manner in Which Butchering is
Done-Utilizing The Carcasses.
The modus operandi of killing and
preparing cattle at the stock yards for
the market is described by writer for
the National Live Stock Journal, who
says: "One man with a good breech-
loading rifle, used at very short range,
does the killing. This has been found
the surest, quickest and most humane
way Of extinguishing the life of cattle
by the firms engaged in the business.
One concern uses heavy hammer to
deal the death-tlow, and few years
ago "spearing" was resorted to. This
was, in appearance at least, very bar
barous practice. A man armed with a
bar of round iron, seven or eight feet
long and sharp-pointed at one end,
would take his place over the narrow
chute through which the bullock was
driven, and plunge tho instrument into
the top of his head, just back of the
horns, severing the spinal cord. Gen
orally the spear was effective and caused
instant death, but in the case of badly
frightened and restive beasts it would
frequently 90 wide of the mark and
MAIN them in a horrible manner. After
the shooting the animals are dragged
head foremost by u chain from where
they fell into the main building and
their throats are cut, the blood being
caught, as it flows. in pans. These are
allowed to stand until the blood coagu-
lates, when it is removed and dried, for
not only the blood, but the horns, bones,
entrails, tails, and everything except
the contents of the stomach and bowels
have a commercial value. The tail does
go with the hide at the stock yards.
but is taken out entire, and has market
value of about Is cents. Ok tail soup is
made from them. The intestines are all
wanted for sausage castings, and the
bones are sold mainly to knife manufac-
turers. They are worth $50 to $55 per
ton. There is demand in some quar-
ters for blood sausage and the blood
not used in this way is sold to sugar re-
ineries. 1t is worth $2S per ton. Hogs
blood is used but seldom except as a
fertilizing material. The visitor is al
ways amazed at the incredible short time
it takes a practical butcher to re-
move the hide from a bullock. The
whole operation of skinnins and dress
ing is accomplished at a rate of one
every ten minutes to each butcher, or
about the length of time it takes a
farmer to skin the hind leg of COW to
her gamblel Joint"

facilities for taking porpoises will he
greatly increased the coming season
The skin of the porpoise makes very
superior, soft and pliable leather and the
estimated value of each individual por-
Doise for it's oil and skin alone was placed
at $40. Last autumn it was discovered that
the flesh made quite savory dish. and
it became so popular at the fashionable
watering places along the coast that a
Philadelphia firm recently made prop
ositlon to take all that may be caught
along the coast this season, with view
of working much of it into mince meat
The Cape May company, it is said, will
reject the offer, as it already has offers
from prominent Philadelphia and New
York hotels and restaurants, and it is
believed that there will be demand for
the meat which cannot be met.
The meat Is red and juicy, and resem-
bles in appearance beef, but Is more
solid, finer grained, and very tender;
much more like venison, which it re-
sembles in favor. They are taken in
seines about 1000 feet long and very
wide, and when captured, if not already
drowned, are killed by stabbing with
knives. 1t would seem that the outlook
for the success of new and valuable
industry being established along our
coast was most excellent.
