Thoroughbreds Always in Demand.

Occasionally we near people worry
ing lest good cattle become so "com-
mon" that values OF all will be mate
rally reduced; but we imagine that
trouble enough will be had in trying
to retain excellence already gained,
without losing much sleep over the
advent of wholly perfect race in the
near future. No matter what individ~
uals may accom- plish, there will always
be a .fuli supply of those who breed
..scrubs," no matter how good the
material may have originally been,
and one Of these will undo in year a
good shares OF somebody else's life time
of intelligent work. There are so many
cases Of deterioration through bad
breeding, poor handling. and general
Acknowledgement operating against gen.
eral progress and offsetting the efforts
of more successful men, that the mile

The Cow Pea.

Editors Southern Live Stock Journal:
Probably Inherited from my South
Carolina kin, love for the COW pea,
but it is part of farm economy, not
only as food, but as a protection to
land, and as one of the best feed for
stock, with all this renovater; a
builder up of the waste places that my
fathers left as an inheritance TO their
children. This is the 9th day of Au-
gust, and with some little care the pea
can be drilled, compress tight cover
ing of earth, say one to two inches and
there will be excellent forage for stock
Ito reap and house for winter feed.
There is some art in saving leaf and
vine for best hay feed, aud having
such feed without fail for 90 or &c
years, 1 hesitate not to say, tall pens

AGRICULTURAL.
Common Sense About Feeding Horses.

II owners and drivers OF horses were
ali posted on the subject OF FOODS anu
how they should be fed, horses ana
other working stock would fare oetter
than they do. It is not generally
known. although constantly presented
agricultural papers during me
last few years, that carbonaceous 1oous
furnish only heat and motion, "hne
the heterogeneous foods furnish musc!e
and power. It IL not even geneiaHy
known what carbonaceous and nitro
penous foods are, and many DO not
even know the definitions OF the terms,
nor of others used as synonymous. But
II these facts were known, common
scnse would teach owners OF horses
that fast going and hard work require
frequent feeding of concentrated food-
not so concentrated as to pack IN the
stomach, but with just enough coarse
material to keep the food loose SO ina!
tho gastric juice may penetrate ana
dissolve il. Corn is q concentrated
food. but it is not Of the right kind; II
ia too carbonaceous, furnishing hea.
and motion, but small amount OF
muscle material aud force. Hay and
grass are too bulky, and the horse can
not eat enough to get suthctent nour.
ishment when hard worked or hard
driven. Oats come the nearest to the
filing of all requisites of complete
food yet il they are crushed, the ad-
dition of a little pea-meal would be a"
jmprovement in cases where extra eX-
ertion is demanded. But it should bt
borne III mind that the more Violen'
the exertion, the sooner the food Is
used up and the system exbaus'cd
and rs the horse has very small stom
ach in proportion to his body, 1t VII
be- seen that it must need frequent fill
ing when the. horse does extra duty
indeed, it needs filling oftener than ]
generally is filled under ordinary cir
cumstances. The writer has Otter
heard it asserted that it does no goo'
to feed horse extra when 1t has don
extra work. AS we'll say the owne
does not require extra food when OK
hausted from hard work. Surely
man taking much physical eXercis
needs more food than one taxing none
The same is true of the horse.-Na

A NEW WONDER.
The "MatchIess'' ConcentratOr-A Dura.
bic, Large Capacity. Clean.Saring,
and Cheap Working Machine.

A recent invcntion is coming to
the front which will prove a god send
to owners of mines of low grade ores.
We refer to the Matchless Concen.
traitor, of Denver, Colorado, which is
generally admitted to combine dura-
bility, large capacity, close saving of
metals, and cheapness OF operation
all of which are essentials to success.
The machines in use heretofore, while
very expensive to purchase and oper
ate, were of such small capacity that
"acres" of them were required to ac-
complish anything. The Matchless,
which only occupies a space IA feet
long and eight feet wide, and com.
bines all the advantages of the others,
will therefore supersede them.
The Matchless Concentrator costs
only $4,000, requires but about five.
horse power, can treat from two to
four tons per hour, saving rs to 80 per
cent. OF the mineral, and works noise
lessly and regularly. 1t is patented
and manufactured by a company oil
which Hon. H. A. w. Tabor is Presi-
dent. and other wealthy Coloradoans
are stockholders. This company rep
resents a capital aggregating millions
of dollars; the written guarantee
given with each machine sold is there.
fore satisfactory evidence of its ca.
pacity and efficiency.
John 7. Phillips, manager OF the
Haley Iron Works, is sole agent fol
Idaho, and will supply all further in
formation desired concerning this ma
chine, which is appropriately styled
"The New Wonder" Mining mer

works, or those who already have

THE DELlUS PARTY.
1t Was Not Satisfactorily Attended,
Owing to the Storm.

Professor Delius is out of luck. His
complimentary party, which "every-
body" in town intended to attend,
happened on the most stormy night
experienced in years, and although
the turnout was quite gratifying un-
der the circumstances, the financial
result IS not nearly as satisfactory as
it was hoped to be. Some IS couples
attended, and all there enjoyed them
selves thoroughly, but their pleasure
was somewhat marred by the con-
sciousness that the outcome would not
be satisfactory.
Professor Delius and his brother
musicians, determined to give their
patrons treat, were on hand to the
number of six, the Lewis Brothers
having come all the way from
Ketchum in the storm to assist, free oil
charge. The music was therefore su'
perior to anything ever heard Oh
Wood River before.
Bakers sleighs were promptly on
hand, and from half-past Z until 1C
o'clock brought dancers to the hall,
and as the night wore on took them
home again. The dressing and hat
rooms were conveniently located and
we'll warmed and attended, aud the
committees preparations were ample
and complete, and nothing but fail
night was lacking to make the affair
complete success. As it was les.
than $40 was netted.
This is of course too insignificant q
sum to be much of testimonial,
and another party should be given al
an early date for the same purpose a.
that of lest night.

Between l and 2 o'clock last Mon
day morning about so masked men
broke into the bedroom Of II. A Balm,
the general manag of the Montana
Copper Company's business in Mea
derviIle, Montana, pulled him out of
bed, ordered him to put on his clothes
and leave the camp forever. Mr..
BAN, under pretext of looking for an
Article of wearing apparel, jumped
through a window, breaking two
panes Of glass, wrecking the sash, and
yelling "murder!" The masked mon
caught and gagged him and put a
rope around his neck; whoreupon
Mr.. Balm promised to leave-which
he did on the first train, six hours
later.
Mr.. Balm had made himself obnox

movement to cut down wages among
the mine and smelter managers
