GOODBYE. OLD COW.

Good -bye, old cow you've got to 60,
OF course, It's hard TO tell you 70,
For your fore-fathers and my own
For ages this old farm have known.
You're lank and Aabby-t to be brief,
You're fit for neither milk nor beef
You yield but little at your best,
And then go dry six months, 10 rest.
Your horns are long, your bones the same,
Too little meat for such frame,
With stomach large and udder small,
The different parts don't match AZ all
looked At you in sad regret
And mourn 10 think we ever met
For every wrinkle on yon horn
Proclaims q wasted hay and corn.
Ny neighbor farmers live with care,
While | wear patches on my knees
The reason, simple, plain and true,
They We kept GOOD stock, while I've KEEP
YoC.
Such common scrubs no more shall feed
On me; I'll try better breed.

You've got 10 90, goodbye, old COW.

An Cid Puzzle Rewritten.

'If you please, sir, I'm poor boy, but
I'm awfully smart and want to work"
The storekeeper looked at his customer
IN establishment. The boy was little
bit of fellow, and his chin came Just
over the top of the counter.
"Well," said the storekeeper, "you
seem to have pretty good idea of your
SELF
That's SC" said the boy; a lost my
last place cause | was smart"
''All right, then; III show you where
you make great mistake when you say
you're smart. Do you see that jug over
there?" asked the storekeeper.
"No, sir" said the boy, looking hard
at green box marked safety pins"
"Not there; way back in the store"
ooh, yes" said the boy.
Now, that Jug is full of vinegar; it
holds eight quarts. I've an order for
four quarts, but haven't any empty
measures excepting one holding three
and another five quarts. Now, il you
are as smart as you say you are, perhaps
you can measure the four quarts from
the eight by using the three and FIVE"
II can do it, said the boy, ''just as
easy as fishing"
IF you do, I'll give you two dollars a
week and your clothes. No. guessing
now; you must measure exactly"
"All right" said the boy; "have your
tailor here in fifteen minutes to measure
me, please"
The boy had the four quarts of vinegar
measured out in less than FIVE minutes.
How did he do it?

A New Cattle Malasiy.

The Phoebe Record says: The cattle
down in the Wash are suffering with
what may be called ''woodtick" CON-
plant, and number have died from it's
effect. The woodticks gather about and
in the ears of the cattle. causing the
beast much sufferiug, and also causing q
film to form over the eyes and binding
the cattle. The remedy used for this.
we learn from VIM. Culverwell, is to
first pour coal OIL into the cattle's ears.
This kills the woodticks in the ears.
The woodticks are then cleaned away
from about the ears They then make
an ointment out of burnt alnm. lard snd
some other ingredients. this they rub the
eattle's eyes with. it cutting and clearing
away the covering formed over them.
Dow Barton treated sixty head of cattle
in this way in one day. 1t is thought,
that owing to the long drought. the ticks
have became abundant and get on the
stock from the saeebrush.

its manager. states that its output for
the year amounted to 1000 tons of ore
which brought about S7e a ton in this
market. He has employed on an aver
age over twenty men throughout the
year. He stopped working on ore July
18th last, owing 10 the water in the

All work since that time has been de-

HORN SILVER.

1t is to be regretted that there is little
Of g favorable nature TO be said of this
property. Major Hill is at the mine.
and at the office it is stated that were
he here he would be unable to give
anything encouraging of the status of
the companyis affairs. Mr.. Walker. the
bookkeeper, says the reports OF ship
meuts OF ore in any such quantities as
thirty or forty car loads, as have at
times been printed, are all false; very
little has been sent up during the year.
The force now st worK at the mine is
much the same as has been employed
all the year roundabout forty men.
All the labor is directed to develop
ment. and the small quantities of ore
sent up are merely what have been en-
countered in this work. The reporter
asked whether an assessment would not
soon be necessary If this force was kept
employsd-sn expense Of some 81 900
month. The answer was no; that the
had always had a sufficient
reserve for such a contingency as had
now arisen.

works.

THE BRooKLYS.

This celebrated Bingham property
embraces as principal claims the Tele-
graph West Extension. the Revier and
the Telegraph. Since May, 1885, the
output has steadily been about 200
tons month. and the ore has brought
about $25 ton in this market. This
would make production for each year
of about 500, 900. The Brooklyn has a
five-stsmp concentrating mill, which
sends down about $50 tons a month of
concentrates. One hundred men are
kept steadily employed. and the dis
bursements Of the company reach $l0,-
600 a month, exclusive OF freight pay
ments. The mine is thoroughly
equipped with all the regular appur-
tenances, there being one engine, one
100 horse power boiler, and two boilers
of 50-horse power. The greatest depth
OF the mine is 200 feet on an ncline,
and counting shafts, wines and levels,
there are over FIVE miles of workings.
