WATER FOR STOCK in WINTER.

A large proportion of the food Of
our animals is used to keep M the
temperature Of the body tc about
one hundred degrees. Cold weather
damp barn. yards. cracks in the barn
or sheds, want of bedding and ex.
posure to storms, greatly increase
the consumption of food to no good
purpose. Much more regard is now
paid to the comfort OF our stock in
these respects than formerly. We
think, however, many fail to realize
the loss of food sustained by com.
pelling animals to drink ice.eold
water. Water as it comes fresh
from the we'll has a temperature Of
about fifty-five degrees. When al.
lowed to stand until frozen over and
the ice then broken, and pieces of
ice suffered to remain in the water
the temperature speedily falls to
thirty.five degrees. Experiments
are reported which seem to show
that it pays to artifcially warm the
drinking water for mich COWS. Be
this as it may, no one can doubt that
water at fifty-fve degrees is cold
enough for health. The water that
an animal drinks has to be raised to
the temperature of its body, say one
hundred degrees. And, of course,
it requires much more fuel in food
to raise pailful of water from
thirty-five degrees to one hundred
degrees than a pailful of fresh water
from fifty-five degrees to one hun.
bred degrees. If the heat required
to warm the pailful of water twenty
degrees was derived from hay, or
straw, or grain, the loss would not
in many cases be severely felt. But
as a matter OF fact, this heat is OBJ
tanned from the consumption of fat
and flesh, or butter and cheese
This is expensive fuel. We are well
aware that it is not always easy to
furnish animals water free from ice.
We fill the trough with water, and
the cows, and sheep, and horses do
not drink as much as we expected,
and the next morning there is Athick
layer of ice upon the water In such
a case, break the ice in as large
pieces as possible and pull them ont
with potato hook or rake. De not
leave them to melt in the water
Pump plenty of fresh water for the
animals. = American Agricultural

WHY THEY ARE KNIGHTS.

The question Is asked: "Why
have you such an organization as
the Knights of Labor?" And the
answer comes from the lips of every
man who does not receive just COM
pensation for the labor done it
comes from the lips of thousands of
the underfed and overworked labor
ers and mechanics it comes from
the mouths of the farmers whose
lands are profitless as though a
blight had fallen on them; it comes
from every hilltop and valley and
every home where the pangs of
unrequited toll are felt. That an
Swer is, because men in whose hands
power and wealth have been placed
have forgotten that this nation is
republic; because they have for
gotten that the founders of the
republic intended that it should be
maintained, upheld and governed
by and for the people of the repub.
lie. We are knights of Labor
because we believe that the Dec.
laratlon of Independence means
something more than mere words
and beautiful sentences. We are
Knights of Labor because we believe
that if it was wrong for an alien
king to Cypress a people and rob
them, it is also wrong for any man
to Cypress or rob his fellow
creatures. We are Knights of
Labor because we believe to whom
belongs the soil, it is, even to Heav.
en-. We are Knights of Labor
because we believe that the rights
of the poorest, humblest man of toll
should stand forth more clearly, and
be treated with more of respect than
the privileges conferred upon or
stolen by the wealthiest in the
nation. We are Knights of Labor
because politicians and political
parties have deceived, degraded and
debauched, the people; because they
have too often gained power through
deception and fraud, and in return
for the confidence reposed in them
they have basely deserted the CON-
mon people and knelt at the shrine
OF gold.
We are Knights of Labor because
we believe that law and order
should prevail and that both should
be founded in equity. We are
Knights of Labor because we be-
lieve the thief who steals a dollar
is 20 worse than the thief who steals
railroad; that the burglar who
breaks open house or a vault is no
worse than the criminal who des-
troys or orders the destruction of
the property of railroad or tele-
graph company; and we believe
that the same law should reach out
with a firm, mistaken hand, and
punish both criminals according to
the magnitude of their guilt. We
believe that if it is wrong to steal
loaf of bread it is also wrong to steal
the land wherein the grain was
raised from which the bread was
made, and if the land was stolen
according to a law made by q dis
honest, time-serving politician, we
believe that the law should be re-
pealed and the land restored to the
people. We are Knights of Labor
because we believe that the article
manufactured by /. the hand of the
American laborer is worthy OF
protection from foreign competition,
that the hand whose skill lends
value to the article should be pro-
tected, and we have determined to
protect our labor independent of
polticians.-T. Y. Poaoderly.

THE SUNNY DAY.

The day is warm ana bright and CHEEKY,
1t shines, and the sun Is never dreary,
The roses bloom where the sunbeams
fall,
Giving sweet light and fragrance to all.
And the day is bright and CHEEKY.
My life is warm and bright and CHEEKY,
1t shines and the sun is never dreary,
My thoughts recall glad scenes of the
past,
Around the future fair hopes are cast,
And the day is bright and CHEEKY.
Be glad my heart and still be singing,
Rejoice in all that time is bringing,
Though care and sorrow come to all,
Into each life rich blessings fall,
And the days are bright and CHEEKY.

THE RAINY DAY.


The day is cold and dark and dreary,
1t rains and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the Wondering
wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall.
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary,
1t rains and the wind is never weary,
My thoughts still cling to the moulder-
ing past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick and
fast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
- cease repining
sun shining,
fate of all,
N must fall,
and dreary.

While the election bilr' was under
consideration in the house of representa-
tives yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Dow
ney and O'Brien in favor of the bill, and
Tompkins opposed, made strong speeches,
that of Tompkins being about the best
speech made during the present meeting
of the legislature.
The debate on the peddler license bill
in committee of the whole in the house,
yesterday afternoon, was participated in
by Messrs. Robbins, Downey, Kelley and
others, and was quite spirited, Mr.. Rob
bins, especially, talking exceedingly well.
From present appearances it looks ex-
tremely doubtful whether the tobacco
bilr' will pass the house.
The council moves more slowly than
the house, aud does not get excited as
easily.

A Curious state of Affairs Arising from
the Bayns Forgery.

A few astonishing facts have been de-
veloped in the case Of the forgery Of the
name of Thomas i. Gill by Bayns, the
bogus lord, who is now in jail 1t will
be remembered that Bayns and Gill were
both employed by the Richie Brothers,
whose ranch and range are in the Lost
Cabin region, and hat being at Rawlins a
check for $3.50 intended for Gill was given
to Bayns to deliver to Gill, but that in
stead Of so doing the lord came to
Cheyenne. forged ellis name to the
check, got the money and skipped out.
The readers of THE LEADER know the
balance of the story so far as Bayns is
concerned. But now another chapter has
developed in the history OF this case.
Having heard of the trouble over the
check, the elder Of the Richie brothers
fastened to Cheyenne, arriving here night
before last From him it was ascertained
that PRIOR to the making of the check 10
Gill which was forged by Bavns, Gill had
been paid the full amount due him, and
that the check was made by mistake. for
at that time the Richie Brothers owed
him nothing. Gill, in the meantime, had
made his appearance in Cheyenne and by
some means obtained possession of the
check which was issued to him by mis-
take, to which his name had been forged
and the money drawn by Bayns, and tax
ing it under these circumstances he sold
the check to John Chase Gas Judge Fisher
understood i) and got part Of the money
upon it, leaving a balance of some $50 due
him yet from Chase on the check. As
the check was originally a genuine one to
Gill, and as he had never drawn the
money upon it from a legal standpoint,
the check in Chase's hands is probably
good as against the Richie Brothers. AT
least that is the view taken of the matter
by Mr.. Richie, who, acting under legal
advice, yesterday took out attachment
papers against Gill and not only garni-
sheed the $50 in Mr.. Chase's hands, but
also attached certain property belonging
to Gill which he brought to Cheyenne.
Thus the matter stands at present, and it
would seem to place Gill in no very envia-
bic light so far as the entire transaction is
concerned.

In the afternoon session of the house,
the bill for the amendment of the present
election laws 50 that a six months resi-
dence shall be required TO enable a person
over 81 years OF age and a citizen of the
United States to vote, was debated in
committee of the whole As it had been
made the official order of the day the de-
bate was somewhat formal and pro-
tracted.
Mr.. 0'Brien earnestly supported the
measure, claiming that it was not a parti-
san bill, aud was intended 50 protect the
rights of residents against a floating popu-
%latiOn's vote.
Mr.. Tompkins opposed the measure
upon the ground hat the legislature
which had been elected upon the three
months basis should not change the law
without first giving the people a right to
vote on such change.
Mr.. Russell also opposed the bill, Mr..
Dole favored it; Mr.. Miller opposed it.
The committee voted to report the bill
with a recommendation hat it pass, the
vote being a strictly partisan me-, IA to 9.
The library bill, being considered in
the house upon amendments made by the
council, the amendments were concurred
in and the bill now requires but the sig
natures to become a law.
In committee of the whole, the bill
obliging peddlers of vegetables, etc, in
towns and cities to pay a license, was rec
commended for passage.
Both houses adjourned until 10 a. m.
to day.

A. w. Haygood, of Granite Canyon,
was in the city yesterday, preparing to
forward to the proper authorities in
Washington, two petitions which he has
gotten up, and upon which the names of
many citizens appear. The petition
asks that such legislation be enacted by
congress or that such steps be taken by
the department at Washington, if it can
be reached in that way, whereby the
Union Pacific Railway company shall be
compelled to abide by what the petitioners
claim to be its original contract and agree
ment, and that is to give the first settlers
on the land the priority of right to pur-
chase. The other matter covered by the
petition relates 70 the conflicting interests
of sheep and cattle and asks that a line be
drawn between the two so that neither
one nor the other can absorb all the feed
in any particular region of country.
