Editor Cow BoY:-. s.. \. IS

the columns Of the Cow Boy, what has
become OF our Board Of HealthP
There are certain parties who would
like to have the Board see that other peo-
pie clean up their yards and remove all
nth that wdald prove injurious. but not

own yards. 52 &. IS I.i2+
Lastgpfing taera was man in town
who kept hogs. The Marquis went to
him and told him he must either kill OF
sell them. That man told me. that he
had to dispose Of them at d sacrifice.
Now, Mr. Editor, I would like to ask If
there were hogs kept all over. town and
around it, would the stencil be one-half
as bad as that which we get from the
offal that is carried away from the
slanghter-honse and left uncovered to
faint the air and breed q pestilence
among our eitizens2 It certainly would
not cost much to have that pile covered
up and not compel US to breathe air that
Is rotten. 555s 4 .:33

standing so long between. tho hotel and

The start was to have been made at
five o'clock in the morning and contrary
to agreement but according to prophecy
the Cantonment was left behind at just
nine O'clock. The road leads past Joe
Knutson's Spring creek ranch, across
the Big Plateau, where Clifford Bros. and
John Munro are putting up thousand
tons Of hay. From here to Wadsworth's,

Co, the. road leads over q country that
no one but Bad Lands pioneer would
have thought Of crossing except in a
balloon. At Wadsworth's -'the gang"
stopped for dinner and the way the fresh

would have astonished anyone not ac-

probable that modern maidens are attiring
themselves to-day in the same gorgeous
hues, produced by similar means, as were
worn by the daughters of the Pharaohs. 1t
has been known for centuries by the name
OF kermes, so called by the Arabs, the word
signifying red dye. Beekmann asserts that
the ancients obtained a finer color from
these insects than from the shell fish which
produced the Tyrian purple, and that its in

Moses"
THE NAME AND HISTORY.
The name cochineal, being derived from
the Spanish word coccus, rightfully belongs
only to that species of cOloring insects
which came to the notice OF Europeans
soon after the conquest of Mexico. The
Spaniarlis found them in high estimation
among the AZtecs. who, as narrated by Ber-
nal Diaz, took infinite pains to rear the
insects en- plantations OF cactus, and il
formed one OF the staple tributaries to the
Indian Enperors,' as it afterward became
tributary to the crown of the conqueror.
The Mexican coccus was introduced into
Europe soon after the Spanish conquest,
where its Superior quality soon displaced
the kermes, which until that time had been
in high repute. Even the living insects
were imported, and plantations of Mexican
cacti carefully cultivated, although the
Spaniards took extraordinary precautions
during their rule IN Mexico 10 prevent the
removal of the cOccus from their newly-ac-
ouired territories So highly was il apprecia-
ted that at one time the English Government
offered a reward of $4,000 to any one who
would introduce it into India.
IT'S CULTIVATION ELSEWHERE.
In the year 1880 cochineal was first cult
waited in the Canary Islands, and after the
failure of the grape crop some twenty years
later. it became the principal article of eX
port. In 1870 no less than 5000, 900 pounds
of cocnineal were shipped from these ISL
ands to England, the product being valued
on the spot at 100000. About forty
wears ago the French succeeded in estab-
fishing cOcCus plantations in Algeria, and
to-day the production Of that country, is
said to be equal to the best of Central
America. The Dutch also have raised
great quantities Of it in Java
4 variety is found in California. which
has all the properties Of that of Brazil and
Southern Mexico, the only difference being
that the California insect produces a beau
tiful rose pink. instead Of The vivid scarlet
of the Mexican coccus. In Mexico its cul-
tivation IS chiefly confined TO the State of
Oaxaca, though beyond doubt it might be
grown in most Of the other States and Ter
ritories with the same success as the Guate-
mala and all the Spanish-American pro
vinces. FANNIE =. WAFp.
