Chief

THIS celebrated stallion will make the
II season of 1888 at his stable near the
mouth of crooked creek, upon the fol-
lowing terms: Ten dollars for each SER
vice; twenty dollars for the season with
no privilege of return, or thirty dollars
to insure. Persons wishing to avail
themselves. of the service OF this horse
should signify their intention to breed
at an early date, as he will be limited
this season tn less number of mares
than he has heretofore served in any sea-
son for the last three years. During the
season of 1897, Highland Chief became
standard, through the performance of
his colts, and is now registered as a
standard Horse No. 1927, in Wallace
Trotting Register. Upon information
derived from the same source it can be
asserted of Highland Chief that he is
the first Horse in West Virginia to make
himself standard through his colts.-
This fact alone will be sufficient recon-.
mendation to horsemen, and is an ac-
complishment which does not require
any comment to establish the reputa-
ton of any Horse who performs it.
Mares kept at 500 per week. Accidents

Curiosities of Plant Life.

In some parts OF Nevada is curious
plant called the Angry tree" 1t is
native of Australia, and somewhat
resembles the century plant. Its name
is due to its apparent vexation at being
disturbed. When transplanted each
separate leaf stands up in a different
direction, like quilts on a porcupine or
hairs on the tail of an angry cat. At such
times it gives forth an unpleasant odor,
like that of rattlesnake when leased,
and sometimes it is fully an hour be-
fore its leaves resume their natural
condition. Another curiosity in the
plant world is peculiar kind of weed
which grows in the Arkansas valley.
1t is shaped like bell. and varies in
size from one foot or less in diameter
to five or six feet. some specimens be-
ing as tall as man. When ripe these
balls snap OF their stems and go tum-
bling over the prairies with every
gust OF wind. They present a very
strange appearance, and in the distance
hunters have mistaken them for bisons.
Often they come bounding along in
hundreds upon the hunters, who are
compelled to crowd upon the ground to
escape being hurt.-St. Louis Globe

OLD AMERICAN VESSELS.
The Eventful History of the BarES Ros-
seau and True Love.


The oldest vessels in the world to-
day are the banks Rosseau and the True
Love. Both vessels were built in Phil
adelphia and have outlived both their
owners and their builders. The Ros-
seau was one OF Stephen Girard's feet.
and when she was launched rs iull-
rugged ship she was the pride of the old
merchant. Many years ago Nicholas
Vandusen was a prominent ship-builder
of this city and had his ship-yard at
what is now ShackamaXOn street wharf.
In 1900 he made contract with Stephen
Girard to build a full-rigged ship. and
the Rosseau was constructed and
launched the following year.
The Rosseau was considered very
fair-sized vesselin 1901. She was % feet
long and . feet breadth of beam, and
registered 30j tons. After doing service
for Girard for several years, her rig
ging was changed and she was known
as one of the fastest banks sailing from
this port She made several trips to
the whaling grounds of the North At
lantic Ocean, and was one of the most
successful whalers in the fleet. OF
late years she has been used for mis-
cellaneOuS hauling, and she is now dis
charging cargo at New Bedford,
Mass. But few repairs have been made
on her, and to-day she is almost as
good as when she was launched, eighty
seven years ago.
The bark True Love was built in
Philadelphia in 1861, and to-day is the
oldest vessel in the commercial world.
But little is known of her early career.
but her papers prove her age beyond
question. All her iron work is hand
forged. and the holdings and interior
decorations of the cabin are of style
that plainly shows no machinery was
used in their construction. For many
years she was engaged in the coasting
trade and piled between the West
Indies and this city. Some years ago
she became a coal carrier and sailed
from the Greenwich piers to Eastern
ports. She received many hard knocks,
but she was staunch and was built to
buffet heavy seas by men who under.
stood their business, and She always
came out of a storm safely. For the
past few few years the True Love has
been trading along the coast of En-
gland, and she is looked upon as a curl
osity in every port she stops.-PEi!adtt

BERBED-WIRE FENCES.
How to Build Them So as to Prevent

How to Build Them So as to Prevent
Injury TO live Stock.
Many valuable horses and colts are
ruined every summer when running in
pastures fenced with baIbed wire. This
may be prevented in two ways. First,
when horses only are to occupy the
pasture. set the posts from eighteen to
twenty-four feet apart. For the top
wire use the best barbed, placing it
four feet from the ground and on the
outside Of the post. Then on the in
side use three smooth wires having the
upper space not more than eight inches
wide. Horses Will not put their heads
through below the upper space, and if
they paw or kick over the wires they
are not cut.
This viii not work where horses and
cattle run together, and build q fence
for such purposes as follows: Place
three barbed wires on the outside OF
the posts, putting the highest four feet
from the ground, the others at eighteen
inches apart. Then on the inside OF
the posts put two smooth wires, the
lowest one three inches above the low
est barbcd wire, the second four inches
above the middle barbed wire. If a
horse paws over the bottom wire as he
pulls back his leg rides on the smooth
wire, and if he runs against the fence
his breast strikes the upper smooth
wire, and if he kicks against or over
the wires he is shielded from harm.
The barbed wires prevent cattle from
reaching through, and the combina-
ton works well. The expenses of the
wires does not exceed five cents
per rod for both. For sheep add
another smooth wire at the bottom,
and they Will not pull OFF their wool on
the barbed wire.-W G. Rice, III 81

How II Is Done.

This is the year of plenty and farmers
and ranchmen will, in many cases,
have enough 10 spare, but it is not
always thus. Science is the handmade
of nature and she is used wisely to eX-
traet2all that nature affords. Science
teaches us that water lays all around
us, and how, instead of having bad
crops and famished cattle, we can
have good crops and cattle in market
able condition, therefore we. should
wisely accept her teachings. The +.
F.. Collins Manufacturing company of
Houston street, San Antonio, have
made this science an especial study
and the wise and prudent will consult
with them, and learn how these de-
sirable reforms can be effected.
