Feeding Bran or Potatoes.

Approaching the subject from the
chemical side we can get a pretty
satisfactory answer from that point of
view. At % cents per bcshel potatoes
are worth about 40 cents per 100
pounds. Calling bran $l2 per ton We
have cost of 60 cents per 100 pounds,
so that the questions is: (Which is the
cheaper feed, potatoes at 40 cents per
100 pounds, or bran at 60?' On page
l04 of the fourth annual report of this
station is q table showing the digesti-
BILE constituents of our common food
articles. By this table we find: 100
pounds potatoes, worth 40 cents, con-
tain l pound protein, 1876 pounds
of carbohydrates; 100 pounds wheat
bran, worth 60 cents, contains
1876 pounds protein and AZ pounds
carbohydrates and fat 1t is quite evil
dent that bran is far cheaper than the
potatoes for feeding purposes at the
prices named, and if a farmer can get
25 cents per bushel for the potatoes he
can afford to haul them some distance
to exchange them for bran at such
prices. The potatoes would require
cooking if fed to COWS. I believe,
however, that if one should feed pota-
toes to stock he will get rather better
results than would be Indicated by a
chemical expression as I have here
given. Animals require variety in
their food in order to make the best
gains, and the farmer who feeds moth.
ing but hay and bran, or cornstalks
and bran all winter long will find that
for a time his animals will show re-
markable results from almost any new
kind of palatable food they may re.

An Enterprising Farmer Embarks in tn
Culture Of Skunks.

An Enterprising Farmer Embarlxs in the
Culture Of Slxunks.
The latest thing out in the way of
business venture is skunk-culture, if it
may be so styled. At first it has the
appearance of a joke, but it is nothing
of the kind, as may be seen further on.
Having heard that something of the
kind existed in this vicinity, the re-
porter set out to investigate the mat
ter, and, although skeptical at first,
soon found there was something in
it,
The owner and proprietor of this
skunk ranch, is Joseph Lininger, re-
siding two and half miles north OF
this city, on the Mishler road. In an
interview with him he said that the
way he came to give such thing any
attention was a knowledge that a man
in Tennessee had successfully conduct
ed such an enterprise for several years
and became rich as a result. The
skunk is an animal easily raised and is
quite valuable for its oil and fur. The
skin is worth from Is cents to $l5
and the yield of oil is about the s;me
value. They have from six to ten
young at time, and breed several
times in a season. the same
as rabbits. Mr.. Lininger estab.
lished his "skunkery" in the spring
with only few animals, and now, in
so short time, there are fifty in the
corral. Il set out" said he, Ito raise
500 before slaughtering any. and at the
present rate it will not be long before
that number is realized" How about
the odorp" we asked. None what,
ever: You can go right to the corral,
and l defy you to tell by the edor that
there is skunk in the neighborhood.
1t seems that they never eject the acrid
and offensive fluid except as a means
of defense. and if not molested there is
no danger. Besides" said he, lit is
an easy matter, when kittens, to re,

the offensive secretions. and thus dis.

The young man beat the air with
his arms and turned toward the door
with moribund look. The guide,
knowing by long experience that the
hnal paroxysm was attained and that
nothing remained but real death by
fright, pressed some electrical buttons,
which dissipated the frightful appari-
tion. The young man had doubtless
become unconscious, for he seemed
born again when, bathed in fresh air
upon a balcony, he saw his official
companion again become the incom-
parably correct parsonage who had
left his twin brother in the office. But
he was not given time for long reflec-

TIM GALLAGHER'S FATE.
A Man Whom Wealth Has Often Favore
Now Working in the Sewers.

Man Whom Wealth Has Often Favored
Now Working in the Sewers.
The story OF Timothy Gallagher,
who is working in the sewers in Helena
as a day laborer, is most remarkable
one, showing the ups and downs of a
miners life in this Western country.
His wonderful career would furnish
the novelist with material for a ro-
nance of intense interest Fortune
has smiled upon him and Fate has
frowned upon him. He has been
wealthy and poor by turns and good
luck and bad luck have toyed with him
alternately. Success did not turn his
head. Reverses did not discourage
him. He has won and lost, and never
complained when the play went against
him. And now, while he is working
in the bitches, he seems to have no re-
grets, and talks confidently of success
when he goes prospecting next year.
He landed in Leadville at the begin
ming of that great mining camps
boom, and within short time had be-
come possessed of several valuable
claims. one of which was the A Y and
Minnie mines, a property that now has
yearly output of thousands of tons
OF rich ore, with millions in sight.
Not having capital to develop his
mines, Gallagher sold them out, real
izing. however, about $50,OOO. With
this money he went into the Red
Mountain mining district and located
the Iron Mask mine, but, believing
that it would never develop into any
thing big. he sold it to Jim Burnell, of
Leadville, now of Denver. Burnell
had considerable work done and sold
it to an English syndicate, considering
himself lucky because he received
$33, 900 for it. Two years ago the
Iron Mask was sold for 81. 900, 900 cash.
There has been a great amount of
valuable ore taken from the mine and
the supply seems inexhaustible.
Gallagher, however, stumbled on to
a pocket in one Of his mines, in the Red
Mountain country, and cleared up $780,
600, when it petered out. Leaving Red
Mountain, Gallagher went to the San
Juan country, whore he put all his
money into hole in the ground which
did not promise near as we'll as the
mines he had owned in Leadville and
Red Mountain. He went out of San
Juan almost broke and turned up at
Socorro. N. M, and began pros
pecting in Canyon del Aqua. Luck
favored him. and he sold his claim for
80. 900. With this money he went to
Arizona and struck it moderately rich
near the famous Vulture mine. He
sold out for $4,000 and drifted to the
Coeur d'Alene, where he again lost his
all. And now he is working in the
sewers at Helena, no signs of dis
couragement in his face or manner,
confident of his ability to "get on his
feet again and win another fortune.

HOME AND FARM,

Dry paths tend to comfort outside
the house and cleanliness within.
Save the old brooms and take them
to the barn. They are handy to clean
the mud off the horses legs with, and
can be put to many other uses around
the stables.
Windows can be cleaned in winter,
and tho frost entirely removed, by
using a gill of alcohol to pint of hot
water. Clean quickly, and rub dry
With warm chamOis skin.
Horses can, of course, stand more
exposure in cold weather than men,
but the same kind of exposure thai
produces colds, rheumatism, etc., ir
mon. will be liable to affect horses in
the same way. 1t is, therefore, appar'
ent that warm stables, good blankets
and protection from severe weather
are necessary.
Boiled Beans: Boil the beans till
nearly done, then make dough o.

soda and a pinch of salt. Wet with
enough rich butter milk to make {
rather soft dough. Roll into a lone

egg and form into balls and boil fifteer
minutes. Don't lift the cover till

After winter grain is sown there is
yet time to remedy defects of soil and
exposure. If there is knoll in the
field it is probably the poorest part OF
the lot, and one or more loads of ma
nure distributed over it any time before
winter will have wonderful effect,
not alone upon the grain crop, but on
the equally important clover or grass
seeding that should go with it. If a
farmer will do this every time fel6
is sown the poor knoll will soon be-
come as rich as any part of the farm
There is such a thing as natura
aptitude for different kinds of bust
ness. One farmer will grow poor or
a rich farm, while another will grow
rich on a poor farm. One poultrymar
will make money in fowls, and another
will lose it. The one is adapted to his
business, the other is the right man ir
;he wrong place, or the wrong man il
the right, place. Success can be ha6
only when the right man is in the righ
place. Life is strewed with the wreck:

WACO, TEX. Feb. % Authentic in
formation has been received here this
evening from Austin that several days
ago deputy sheriff from Jasper county
Missouri, presented to Governor Ross
acquisitions for John c. Eaton, Michael
Gilman and Walter A. Marlin of this
city, who, it seems, have been indicted
by grand jury of Jasper county, Mis-
souri,, for obtaining goods from the
Crystal -four mills under false
pretenses. Governor Ross asked for
several days to investigate the matter
and concluded yesterday to refuse to
grant the acquisitions on the ground that
he thought he could see in the affair an
attempt on the part of the Jasper county
millmen TO use the criminal law for the
purpose of collecting their accounts. 1t
will be remembered that the three parties
who stand indicted in Missouri
for swindling were engaged in doing
a very large wholesale grocery business
in this city under the style of Eaton,
Guiuau & Co. and that on the 1st day
Of December last they executed a deed to
John I Marshall conveying to him their
stock of goods for the benefit of their
creditors. This was followed by a flood
OF attachments, checked by prompt
writs of replevin, then the application to
the courts for the appointment Of re-
ceiyer for the accounts and notes, the
appointment of Ed b Levy as such re-
ceiver and multitude of suits of most
variegated patterns.
Mr.. A. F. Rising, who was yesterday
evening arrested for shooting at Ida
Briggs, woman of the town, for coming
into his house, was brought before JUS
tice Harrison this morning and waived
$500, in default of which he went TO Jail,
where he still remains. The Risings re-
fuse to talk about the matter, but the
lady, who is a very prepossessiug bru-
nette, showed great fealty to her hus-
band by trying to secure bail for him.
Ida Briggs states that she never would
have gone to the Rising house had she
not been sent for by Mrs. Rising.
She says that Mrs. Rising said she
intended to leave her husband.
Mrs. V. C. Cunningham, wife of Rev.
Y. q. Cunningham, pastor of the Fiji
teenth Street Baptist church, died at
80 p. m. Of consumption, at the resi-
dence of her husband, on South Sixth
street. The funeral awaits the arrival of
Col. Fly OF Gonzales, brother of the
deceased
