WILD HORSES OUT WEST.
Description of a Terrible Contest Between
a Jack and Two Enraged Stations.

O@tN
n Jack and Two Enraged Stations.
Some horses, of course, are almost in
curably vicious, and must be conquered
by main force. One pleasing brute on
my ranch will at times rush at a man
open mouthed like q wolf, and it is a
regular trick of the range stations. In
a great many-indeed, in most-locali-
ties, there are wild horses to be found,
which, although invariably of domestic
descent, being either themselves runa-
ways from some ranch or Indian outfit,
or else claiming such for their sires and
dams, yet are quite as wild as the ante
lope on whose domain they have IN
truded.
Ranchmen run in these wild horses
whenever possible, and they are but little
more difficult to break than the 50 called
''tame'' animals. But the wild stations
are, whenever possible, shot; both be-
cause of their propensity for driving off
the ranch mares, and because their in
durable viciousness makes them always
unsafe companions for other horses still
more than for men. A wild stallion
fears no beast except the grizzly, and
will not always finch from an encounter
with it; yet it is a curious fact that a
jack will almost always kill one in a fair
fight. The particulars of a fight of this
sort were related to me by q cattle man
who was engaged in bringing out blooded
stock from the east. Among the animals
under his charge were two great stations,
one gray and one black, and a fine jack
ass, moi much over half the size of either
of the former. The animals were kept
in separate pens, but one day both horses
got into the same Enclosure, next to the
jack pen, and began to fight as only en-
ragged stations can, striking like boxers
with their fore feet and biting with their
teeth.
The gray was getting the best of it;
but while clinched with his antagonist in
n tussle they rolled against the jack
pen, breaking it in. No one was the
jack at liberty than, with ears laid back
and mouth wide open, be made straight
for the two horses, who had for the mo-
ment separated. The gray turned to
meet him, rearing on his hind legs and
striking at him with his fore feet; but the
jack slipped in, and in a minute grasped
his antagonist by the throat with his
wide open jaws, and then held on like a
bull dog, all four feet planted stiffiy in
the soil. The stallion made tremendous
efforts to shake him off; he would try to
whlrl round and KICK him, but for that
the jack was too short; her he would
rise up, lifting the jack off the ground,
and strike at him with his fore feet; but
all that he gained by this was to skin his
foes front legs without making him loose
his hold. Twice they fell, and twice the
stallion rose, by main strength dragging
the jack with him; but all in vain.
Meanwhile the black horse attacked both
the combatants with perfect impartiality,
striking and kicking them with his hoofs,
while his teeth, as they slipped off the
tough hides, met with a snap like that of
q bear trap. Undoubtedly the jack
would nave killed at least one of the
horses had not the men come up, and
with no small difficulty separated the
maddened brutes. Theodore Roosevelt

DEATH.

Strong Angel OF Pity, whose white wings are
purpled with dew
Brushed from asphodel meadows that shine be
meath skies always blue,
Thou Dearest Loves chaltce for lips that Pains
measure have pressed,
And we drink, and then. only. may dream OF the
infinite rest;
Ali the human leans over the human and gives
tears for tears,
But thy sweet eyes alone smile away the breasts
sorTUwfu fears;
BY thy great wings upborne we, too, rise to thy
heavenly height
And gaze with clear vision, and know that thy
shadow brings light.

Surprised.

Friday evening, March End, some
sixty or seventy neighbors and friends
appeared at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. w. Brown, on Lincoln Ave
nue.. They were admitted and while
Mrs. B. was doing her best to entertain n
them, numerous calls were made for
Mr., Brown, who finally appeared on
the scene, fresh from the realms OF
dreamland, 20 be reminded by the
guests that this was the 10Th anniver-
sary of his marriage. The true sig
nificanc of the surprise" now dawned
upon them, and at once the doors OF
their hospitality and good cheer were
thrown wide open and one and all re-
ceived hearty welcome. The hours
were spent in social chat and recalling
the various seen es and incidents of the
past 10 years. The moments fled all
too quickly, and reluctantly the happy
experiences of the past were dropped
to give place to the ever living present.
Mr.. w. M. Chapman then stepped
forward and said that he regretted the
necessity of breaking the thread of
sacred narrative and calling a halt in
the march over the domains of the
past, but he was reminded by old
Father Time that this joyful occasion
wonld soon be numbered with those
of bygone days. and bsfore it was re.
corded in the annals he wished to add
one more cnapter for the pen of the
scribe. He then in behalf of those
assembled, presented SIR. and Mrs.
Brown many choice aud beautiful
gifts, and closing his remarks by wish
ing them many anniversaries of their
welded life, and that their remaining
years may be crowned with happiness
and prosperity.

Bro. PoLK:-You do us good and
we feel like we stand an inch or two
taller since we see such a tidal wave
among the people in favor of such a
splendid man as Capt. S. B. Alexander
for Governor. The politicians are
throwing out their bait but we will
not bite this time. They want to put
us off with the crumbs. They all seem
anxious to put him on the ticket, but
they don't want him to stand at the
head. The farmers of Forsyth think
it is high time to have a Governor of
their own rank, and they will never
agree to see Capt. Alexander play
"second fiddle" We want him for
Governor or not at all, and you may
tell the politicians so. Keep his flag

A Chester (Pa.) gentleman tells an
interesting story of the manne in
which a Delaware county farmer got
rid of crows. He was greatly troubled
by the depredations of these birds and
all the means to drive them away per-
manently having failed, he tried an
original plan. Taking half peck or
more of corn he soaked it thoroughly
in whiskey and then, scattered the
cereal along the fence of the field
chiefly visited by the feathered thieves.
He soon had a number of. crows eat
ing the doctored corn, and as they
didn't fly away. he went to observe
the effect of the dose. He found
every o drunk, some lying over on
their sides, others tottering around in
a maudling attempt to fly. He could
have killed every one, but resolved to
await the outcome of the drunk.
Gradually the birds recovered, and
one by n flew ~unsteadily away.
During the remainder of the season
the farmer was not troubled by a
single crow.-Southera Farm.

EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Brother:-
Having been appointed by our ALI
ance, No. 286, to correspond for The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, l now attempt
to comply with the request, but seeing
your request in regard to persons
writing, c%ondensing and boiling down,
and knowing that this is my first for
publication, and having been deprived
of the advantages of an education, it
makes me feel quite nervous and fear
full that it will find it's way to the
waste basket; but nevertheless, we
folks down here are not entirely out
of the world, though almost out at sea.
There are seven Alliances in this
county, and should have been twice
that number We have been kept
back in our Alliance workings by not
having the county thoroughly organ
lied. The Atlantic Alliance numbers
over so members, four of which are
subscribers to THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER; others soon will be. We
have arranged our place of trade this
season with a merchant. Our brethren
appear to be allied to the cause and
anxious to witness better times. All
we lack to make us firm as rock, is for
each one to read The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, for which I am a jealous adj
vocate. Not having e e anything in
the columns of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, we feel that those of our
brethren who are best calculated for
AS l may say-the arduous task, have
failed to discharge their duty in our
county. F~raternally yours,
ISAAC MILLIKEN,
Sec'y Atlantic Alliance No. 2S6.
