been for centuries as secure as any

Rsvmert Mines sold.

Messrs. J. s. Strohn, Conro and Dr. Hulst, of the Milwaukee syndicate holding an option upon Judge Walk CTS interest in the Reymert mines, ar rived last Tuesday evening with Judge J. D. Reymert, from Los Angeles, and the party went the same day to De Noon. They returned yesterday and left at once for San Francisco, accom- panied by Hon. A. J. Doran who has complete authority from Judge Walk CT to complete the transfer of all his stock and interests in the property. The new management expects to as sume charge of the properties on April 1st and it is said they will thoroughly develop the mines in a systematic manner, after which mill will be erected suitable to treat the ore. In the meantime the full capac- ity of the present mill will be used. The property is one of the finest and best in Arizona and it will be worked upon a broad business basis instead oi being made a stock-jobbing scheme as some properties have been made.

How to Hold a Horse.

If you have horse that is hard in the mouth, or takes the bit in his back teeth or grinders and holds it so you cannot control him, you will find the following contrivance just the thing you need: After you have your horse harnessed and checked up, take a strap lorg enough to reach over the top of the horses head and come down on each side through the rings of the bit. Have a small ring fastened in each end of this strap, and put the ends of the strap through the rings of the bit from the in- side to the out Then snap or buckle your lines in these rings In the end of this strap, and by pulling on your lines you will find that you can pull the bit out of the horses teeth up in his mouth, and by. this means hold the hardest mouthed horse in the country. It is a good plan to fasten the strap to the bridle on the top of the horse's head SC that it cen slip neither way. Many run. aways and accidents may be avoided by this simple device.-Country Gentle. man

FEEDING SHEER.
The Cara of Sheep in Restricted> Quarters.
 Treatment of Breeding Ewes.

The Cara of Sheep in RestrictedQ Quarters.
 Treatment of Breeding Ewes.
 Feeding sheep during winter confine- ment deserves notice, though it is hardly possible to lay down rules that shall govern all. Perfect regularity as to time of feeding should always be observed in order to accomplish the best results, and again they should never be fed more than they will eat, for if the racks are filled too full they will soon acquire the habit of wasting.
 American Wool Reporter advises that sheep in confinement be fed three times per day and that they be given a novelty. It is well to feed hay twice during the day-say morning and night, and at noon give them pea straw or corn stalks. Endeavor to give your lambs clover once each day, at least; also feed of corn and oats with perhaps mixture of bran. Peas and oats sown together are profit able crop for the farmer to raise and make splendid feed for sheep, the peas answering the purpose of corn If you have roots, either turnips, carrots or beets, feed them two or three times a week, as change from dry food Is pro ductive of good results.
 Breeding ewes, toward lambing time especially, should never be fed on corn or other heavy grain without mixture of grain of lighter nature, and then the corn should always be the lesser quan- tity. Potatoes are splendid feed, and by many are regarded as equal to roots. The subject of ensilage as feed for sheep is being widely discussed, and by those who have tested It is said to give excellent results. One thing that is too often neglected is to furnish your sheep plenty of running water. Give your sheep plenty of exercise. On pleasant days always allow them to run out in the yard. Use straw freely in bedding them, and clean out the manure from the sheds several times during the win ter. for if allowed to heat it will make your barns very unhealthy; besides, it iE thought by many that the heat from the manure produces an irritation of the skin which causes sheep to pull theil wool Give your barns plenty of venti lation and plenty of light, and, above all, your sheep much of your persona attention, trusting little to hired help.

GROWTH OF BIG BOOK When Webster's Unabridged was first pub lished in one volume, it was compar- atively small book. Some years after, an addition was made of I500 pictori- al illustrations a table of synonyms, and an appendix of new words that had come into use. A few years later came an entirely new revised edition of larger size, with 5000 pictorial illus trations; then, after an interval of few years, biographical dictionary of nearly 10000 names, and a supple ment of nearly 50GJ new words were added; and now there has come another new and most valuable edi- tion, Gazetteer of the World, of over 25,000 titles. The work is not now only the best Dictionary of the words of the language, but is a Biographical Dictionary, Gazetteer of the World
