Ono OF the Recreations of the Cowboy.
Tanning q Vicious Brute.
While the head men are gathered in a
little knot, planning out the work. the
others are dispersed over the plain in
every direction, racing, breaking rough
horses, or simply larking with one an
other. If man has an especially bad
horse, he usually takes such an opportu-
nifty, when he has plenty Of time. to ride
him; and while saddling he is surrounded
by crowd of most unsympathetic asso-
ciates, who greet with uproarious mirth
any misadventure. A man on bucking
horse is always considered fair game,
every squeal and jump Of the bronco
being hailed with cheers of delighted
irony for the rider and shouts to '.stay
with him.
The antics of vicious bronco show in
finite variety of detail, but all are mod
eled on one general plan. When the
rope settles round his neck the fight be-
gins, and it is only after much plunging
and snorting that atwist is taken over his
nose, or else a hackamore-a species of
severe halter, usually made of plated
hair, slipped on his head. While being
bridled he strikes viciously with his fore
feet, and perhaps has to be blindfolded
or thrown down; and to get the saddle
on him is quite as difficult. When sad
died, he may get rid of his exuberant
spirits by bucking under the saddle. or
may reserve all his energies for the rider.
In the last case, the man, keeping tight
hold with his left hand of the check
strap, so as to prevent the horse from
getting his head down until he is fairly
seated. swings himself quickly into the
saddle. Up rises the bronco's back into
an arch; his head, the ears laid straight
back, goes down between his fore feet,
and, squealing savagely, he makes Sue
cession of rapid, stiff legged, jarring
bounds.
Sometimes he is ''plunging" bucker,
who runs forward all the time while
bucking; or he may buck steadily in one
place, or "sunfish is, bring first
one shoulder down almost to the ground
and then the other, or else he may
change ends while in the air. A first
class rider will sit throughout it all with
out moving from the saddle, quirting his
horse all the time, though his hat may
be Jared off his head and his revolver
out of its sheath. After a few Jumps,
however, the average man grasps hold of
the horn of the saddle--the delighted on
lockers meanwhile earnestly advising
him not to ''go to leather"-and is con-
tented to get through the affair in any
shape provided he can escape without be-
ing thrown off. An accident is of neces-
sity borne with broad grin, as any at

GENERALIZATION OF FRUITS.
Tho Method rs Explained to California;
Board of Horticultrre.

The process Of preserving fruits in q
crystallized or glazed form is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
This process, though comparatively new
in California, has been extensively ope-
rated in Southwestern France for years,
the United States having been heavy i'm
porters, paying fancy prices for the pro-
duct. The process is quite simple. The
theory is TO extract the juice from tho
fruit and replace it with sugar syrup
which, upon hardening. preserves the
fruit from decay and at the same time
retains the natural shape of the fruit
All kinds of fruit are capable of being
preserved under this process. Though
the method is very simple, there is Ger
tain skill required chat is only acquired
by practice. The several successive steps
in the process are about as follows: First,
the same care in selecting and grading
the fruit should be taken as for canning;
that is, the fruit should be all of one size
and as near the same ripeness as possible.
The exact degree of ri peness is of great
Importance, which is at that stage when
fruit is best for canning. Peaches, pears,
etc, are pared and cut in halves as foc
canning; plums. cherries. etc, are pitted.
The fruit having thus been carefully
prepared is then put in basket or buckle,
with perforated bottom and immersed
in boiling water. The object of this is to
dilute and extract the juice of the fruit.
Tho length of time the fruit is immersed
is the most important part of the process.
If left too long it is overlooked and be-
comes soft; if not immersed long enough.
the juice is not sufficiently extracted.
which prevents q perfect absorption of
the sugar. After the fruit has been thus
scaldcd and allowed to cool, it can again
be assorted as to softness. The next step
is the strip, which is made of white
sugar and water The softer the fruit,
the heavier the strip required. Ordinar-
lily. about 20 dogs. Balling's saccharometer
is about the proper weight for the strip.
The fruit is then placed in earthen pans
and covered with strip, where it is left to
remain about week. The sugar enters
the fruit and displaces what juice re-
manned after the scalding process.
The fruit now requires careful watch
ing, as fermentation will soon take place,
and when this has reached certain stage
the fruit and sirup is heated to boiling
degree, which checks the fermentation.
This heating process should be repeated
as often as necessary for about six weeks.
The fruit is then taken out OF the strip
and washed in clean water, and IS then
ready to be either glazed or crystallized,
as the operator may wish If glazed, the
fruit is dipped in thick sugar strip and
left to harden quickly in open air. II it
is to be crystallized. dip in the same kind
of strip, but is made to cool and harden
slowly, thus causing the sugar which
covers the fruit to crystalline. The fruit
is now ready for boxing and shipping.
Fruit thus prepared will keep in any
climate and stand transportation.-J. J.
Pratt.

ANEW DEAL ON THE BURLiNGT s&
NORTHERN,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. Cit is stated
today that Mr.. A. Manuel, general mana
ger of the Manitoba road will shortly
assume control of the Burlington & North
ern. 1t is understood that his resignation
has been prepared and handed in, and that
it will be acted upon tomorrow. There
will be no other change in the manage
ment of the Burlington. In fact, there
will be a complete rejuvenation OF the
system. The road was originally built as
a quasi speculation, the intention being
to get the line in working order and then
unload it on the Chicago, burlington
q Quincy. For some reason pros
perity has not been its lot. W here
the fault lies is hard to determine. Stock,
holders are of the opinion that the road
has been unwisely managed Ihese STOCK
holders, who are also interested In the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy. and other
roads are mostly easterne rs, who feel that
that there should be dividends. The Bur
lington & Northern's rolling stock has
been mortgaged to its Boston stockholders
for Si00, 600 and ere long the sale OF the
road will become an imperative necessity
Pressure was brought to bear upon the
Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy, but owing
to the expenses attendant upon the hight
with the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers that road does not feel able TO Duy
any more lines at present and the proposed
deal is off The stockholders are not at
all disneartened and have bethOuSht
themselves of other arrangements.
In this connection it is authorltatlvely
stated that there will be an utilization be-
tween the Manitoba and the Burlington.
President Hill, of the Manitoba, owns
considerable Burlington and Northern
stock, and the two roads have always
evinced marked preference for each other,
the former giving the Burlington q North
ern the largest share of east bound traffic
out of St. Paul from the northwest, while
the latter has made it point to recipro-
cate to the exclusion of the Northern Pa
cific. In support of this belief there will
be a deal effected in few days by which
the Boston stockholders and the
Manitoba, through its representatives,
will assume control of the Burlington
& Northern, and give it an impetus which
will tend to put it on paying basis. Fol-
lowing this arrangement General Man
ager Marvel will leave the Manitoba for
the Burlington & Northern. During his
eastern tour he attended a conference of
stockholders in Boston and discussed the
Burlington & Northern's future and re
sources, giving his companions the benefit
of sound advice concerning the manage
ment of the road. The result was thas he
was rendered position of trust, which
has been accepted. There will be sweep
ing changes following the inauguration of
new regime.

Burning Solid Petroleum.

According to The Revue Scientiique,
Dr.. Kaufman has succeeded in solidify-
ing petroleum by heating it for the space
of half an hour with from / to 3 per
cent. of common soap, until the latter
has quite dissolved in the petroleum,
forming with it homogeneous mass Of
the consistency of tallow. Cut up in
cubes, this compound can be used as fuel
for heating purposes. 1t does not ignite
easily, but when once set on fire it burns
steadily, slowly and smokelessly, leaving
carbonaceous residue of about per
cent. of its weight. Solid petroleum
burns three times slower than coal, but
yields greater heat than the latter

Peach Culture.

SPOTTSWO0D, VA, Aug. goth.
Ed. Spectator:-In a former article l
spoke of several varieties of early peaches.
By careful selection of peaches, we can
have them ripe at all time from July LIST to
the last Of October.
Many persons ere opposed to planting
budded trees. They think these trees do
not live as long or bear as we'll as seedlings.
After careful observation on this point for
many years, think this is a wrong notion.
1t is true many budded trees are short
lived, but think the reason is that most
persons buying trees want them too large,
and in taking up the trees many of the
roots, especia lily the tap root, is cut of, and
this shortens the life of the trees. Seedlings
are often left standing where they come up,
and the roots are not disturbed. Now if
you bud tree and let it stand where bud
ded or set small budded tree with all its
roots, cannot see the difference. One
strong obje ction to raising Seeding peaches
is, YOU don't know what kind of a peach
you will get or when it will ripen. You
may chance to get good peach, but many
of them will not be worth ground room.
MANY person thinks they can grow the
same peach as the kind they plant, but this,
as general rule, is a mistake, for where
there are different kinds in an orchard they
will mix from the pollen of the blossom the
same as corn, aud you may raise many
kinds from single tree. But where there
is seeding away from all others, that is
established as true Seeding, you can grow
the same kind of peach as the parent tree
for any length of time on the same kind of
soil; but take the seed to a different soil
and climate and they will change.
Respectfully,
]. B. SMITH
