II don't know anything about Cossack

saw any of it, but l will guarantee that
our men can do anything that Cossacks
can do and more, too. There Is art In
riding just as there is In shooting, in
quires skRl and training. From
what you tell me of the nature
of the Cossack feats of riding l
should say that they were more in
the line of circus riding than the feats of
our men. You must remember that

tion of the various feat5 performed by
them in making their living. The throw.
ing of the lasso needs no more than a
reference, but the feat of picking up ar
ticles from the ground while riding by at
full speed is born of the necessity of re
covering the end of the rope attached to
the horns of a flying steer; that is n thing
that every cowboy must learn to do so
that If after lassoing the steer the end of
Ghe lariat should slip from his hand he
can recover 1t while both he and the steer
are going full speed.

A natural soap well has been discov-
cred sixty eight miles west of Buffalo
Gap, D. 7. The soap is SKINNED from n
boiling spring and hardens by exposure
to the air. 1t is like soft clay, and can be
gathered with a shovel, and is supposed
to be n mixture of alkali, borax and tho
lubricating oil found in many parts of
Wyoming. A sample has been tested by
a prominent Chicago soap manufacturer,
and he reported the discovery worth the
full weight Of the manufactured article,
Parties surrounding the springs have
used the natural article as axle grease
by adding n little of the oil discovered
there. and 1t Is pronounced the finest ma
terid ever used for that purpose. The
soap will wash in the hardest of water
and leave the hands much softer Than
the ordinary article. The supply is sup
posed to be inexhaustible.-Brooklyn

Something to drink and good cigar
are with some men leading essentials
toward sociability. Other men have
a natural antipathy to both and yet
can be sociable and polite. The fol-
lowing anecdote illustrates the way
one gentleman took to teach another
that such was the case.
Mr.. Perry was an old southern gen.
tleman, exceedingly polite. lie would
go cut of his way at any time to avoid
offending neighbor or friend. One
day a neighbor met him on the street
with "Hallo, Mr.. Perry! l was just
going in to get a drink. Come in and
have something"
"Thank you, Mr.. -, don't care
for anything" was the answer.
"But come in and take something,
just for sociability's sake"
"Now, want to be sociable, but l
can't drink with you."
Cali right, if you don't want to be
sociable, Fll 60 without drinking"
growled the friend, and he silently
walked along in the direction in
which Mr.. Perry was travelling.
Presently the pair drew near drug
store, when Mr.. Perry broke out with /:
"Mr. -, Pm not feeling at all well
to-day, and / think Pll go in this
drug store and get some castor oil.

"Naw, l hate the stuff" saying
which q chill went over the man as
visible in its effects to Mr.. Perry as if
the ague had seized him on the street.
"But / want you to take a glass OF
oil with me, just to be sociable, you
know"
The friend still refused, when Mr..
Perry said: "Your- sociable whisky
is just as distasteful to me as my socia-
BILE oil is to you. Don't you think
I've as much reason to be offended
with you as you have with me2" The
pair heartily shook hands, the dia-
1ogue was circulated in Covington,
and Mr.. Perry was never invited to
-irink again.

THE POULTRY BUSINESS.
Certain General Rules to De Observed by
Those Engaged In 1t.

Those Engaged IN IL
The interest in poultry is increasing
in this section of the country, and as
it becomes better understood is one OF
our most important branches of farm
production. No business on the farm
has been so fluctuating. There are in
this section many abandoned poultry
houses that have cost their owners many
hundreds of dollars each, yet there are
others who are erecting more sensible
houses and who are moro certain OF
success.
There is something queer about this
poultry industry. When a man keeps
a little brood of fowls, say ten or
twelve, and ma kes them profitable. he
thinks he can increase his brood to one
hundred or two hundred with equal
profit. His reasoning seems perfectly
logical. If ten fowls will pay net
profit of $3.50 apiece annually, why
should not 100 fowls pay $3.50. and
1000 fowls pay 81, 500 annuallyP What
ever the figures are. however. these
large broods do not pay the same pro-
portionate profit as the smaller ones.
The trouble consists in supposing
| that !. 900 fowls can be made as profit
able in proportion as ten. and perhaps
they could if one would give them the
same care, the same room aud range,
and the same relative feed. The or
binary poultry keeper will not do this
unless he makes it his business to at
tend to his poultry yards and houses as
he would to any other branch of BUSH
ness 1t requires intelligent manage
mcnt and extra care in every depart
ment to achieve success.
Thus if the beginner decides to take
the fancy breeds and make his profit
from the sale of fancy birds, that is one
thing. If he decides to take some
standard variety. and depend on tho
value of eggs for Matching, that is an
other thing. Again. if he decides to
raise chicks for broilers for the early
market, he must make his arrange
ments accordingly; and finally. If he
decides to raise poultry and eggs fol
the general market and for family use,
he must select his fowls and Arrange
their quarters with that intent.
Whichever branch of the business one
may take up. there are certain genera
rules to be observed. The three essen.
tials are pure air, pure water and
proper food. There is no animal thai
will pollute ten cubic feet of pure all
as rapidly as full-grown fowl. There
is no animal that needs so much pure
water according to its size, and there
is no feature which excites SO much dis
cussion as the proper food for fowls.
For the first four weeks the young
chicks need but very little food. ant
that should consist of bread-crumbs o
crushed crackers. boiled eggs or boile'
, eggs or boiled rice. and this should b
given sparingly. Many fine brood
Young chicks has been killed by kind
ness or over-feeding. After the fourt
or fifth week there is no better feed TO
