TAKING OFF HIDES.
How to DO 1t without Injuring the Vaiue
of the Hide or skin.


In taking off a hide or calf-Skin,

then cut around each leg to thu hoof.
Sit the hind LEG from thu hoot up lii

knee. to the top of the briskct bone.
This leaves the hide or skin then in the
proper shape for finishing.
skin the head and Ices carefully to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing
at the head, draw or fist oil the skin
without any further use of the knife,
Thereby avoiding the holes and cuts that
almost spoil 50 many calf-skin,. Some
farmer, usc 4 windlass to draw off the
dairy skins, and others use horse; but
one or two men can do it Il great deal
more quickly and easily.
When taken off, lay the hide or skin
flat ON the floor in cool place. where
the sun can not shine upon it. and cover
it with ~alt rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt. Do not roll it up,
but let il remain in the salt until you
take OF another; then place that one
upon the other, saltmg freely a before,
and 50 on until you get enough to make
quite a pile; then commence another
pile in the same manner. Do NOT be
afraid to use salt freely: what the skins
do not require VIII shake off, and can be
used again.
If YOU prefer to dry out your skins
before selling them, be sure that they
are thoroughly cured with salt before
driving them, and then that they are
thoroughly dried before being baled up
for shipment,
Never dry ont skin without having
it salt,d as described to preserve it from
moths and other injuries on the hair

ing dried out.
If your skins remain on hand very
long after being dried out before de-
livery to the tanner, even if sailed,
watch them carefully to detect any in
dicationS of moths or worms on the
hair side, and if any are Il ScOvered,
have the skins vigorously whipped with
a stick so often that they shall be wholly

a SNOW IBEx KILLED.
The Rare Animal Disposed CT by An Old
Trapper In the Owl Mountains

The rare Animal DlSpOseu an Oiu

LANDER twv. IT, s3eciall
In the Owl mountains Is seen at long in
tervals snow or white ibex. One OF
these rare animals was recently killed by
an old trappcr and hunter known as
Shoshone Jack. The snow ibex attains
the size Of the big horn or mountain
sheep, has a coat of dazzling white, and
Is of the true ibex breed. II is both active
and powerful, and when driven to bay Is
a most dangerous adversary. Its massive
horns, with their backward sweep of two
feet, are formidable weapons and are for.
midably used. Some years since Tom
Anten, then a mountain prosprctor and
hunter, now half owner in the not
ed Bonanza oil spring, Big Horn
Basin, came near losing his life in an
encounter with a snow ibex in the Owl
mountains. Tom was in pursuit of band
Of blacktail deer, when he espied ahead
of him what he at first took for a moving
snow heap. Soon, however, he saw it was
an animal, and a moment later knew that
it must he the famed mountain rara avis,
a snow ibex. The ibcx, an old ram, was
within fair range, and Anten at once
pulled down upon him. At the crack Of
the rife the animal fell in its tracks.
fastening up to secure the rare prize,
Anten suddenly found himself confronted
by the Infatuated animal. A most tire.
mendous butt" sent the hunter flying
into tho air, and when he struck the ground
the ram was on top of him. And now the
heavy, curved horns of the furious
brute were dashed again and again
against the anatomy of the hunter.
Every bone and joint felt the
fearful punishment Finally, Anten
succeeded in grasping one of the heavy
horns, and, dragging himself TO his knees,
confronted his furious assaiant. lie held
on desperately, and was forced to the
brink of rough and steep mountain
washOut. Here Anten succeeded in draw
ing his hu ntng- knife. He made several
Intellectual passes with this weapon and
the closely clasped foes went down the
washout together. The ibex struck the
bottom underneath, and the keen and
ready blade of the hunter drank deep
of its Likelihood. Again and again did
the knife strike home, and the snow ibex
was corpse. When dressed the carcass
weighed one hundred and twenty five
pounds, and the flesh proved excellent
eating. The Owl mountains seem to be
the only Wyoming district in which the
snow ibex is found. There are said to be
a few in certain localities of the Montana
mountains.

THE LESSER EVIL.
A Sufferer Who Thinks 1t Is Better to Be
Blind Than Deaf and Dumb.

Are not the blind proverbially cheer
full, and is not this a benelicent, useful
and compromising quality in them? AS
rule, we carry our cross gayly, and
it is constant source of wonder to
many that we can keep up our spirits
in face of the calamity. Contrasted
with the deaf our bearing is remark
able; they are prone to look gloomy
and morose, while we are, | think,
usually the reverse. The secret is that
it is far more depressing and miserable
to live in silence than in darkness. As
proof of this, watch deaf person sit
ting apart with saddened expression
and suspicious glance quick travelling
in all directions. The whole aspect
and demeanor of the man changes on
the instant some one speaks to him in
his own tongue-on the fingers, that is
to say. The silence in which he lives
is dispelled; he has found an equivalent
for his ears. Give, then, the blind man
in his fingers an equivalent for his eyes,
and the darkness in which he lives is
dispelled. His mood, if happy, simply
becomes happier, in that he has an oc-
cupation. the source of all happiness.
The situation is not changed if the oc-
cupation be directing or listening in
stead of technical. No; 1 must repeat
this is misunderstanding of the pow
ers of the blind which has hitherto re-
tarded their fullest development They
have been too much relegated to the
ranks of the incompetent, too much set
aside as a class by themselves, instead
OF being accepted as intelligent, use
full, working members of the commu.
