CAPTURING Elk Alive.

The Smith brothers, of Bear River,
passed through town recently with a
two. and a. halt-year- old elk of 400
pounds weight, and a yearling of
pounds. They had been captured when
small, and were therefore quite tame and
domesticated. The party was en- route
TO Glenwood, where the animals would
be delivered TO Dave Prior at $40 per
head. Cutie a crowd assembled about
the wagon as it stopped in front of the
postotice, where for the fir t time several
persons viewed this species of Rocky
Mountain wild beast. The Smith boys
have gained considerable notoriety fol-
capturing deer and elk, as not long since
they delivered to gentleman at SedaliO
nine head of elk and fourteen deer.
Their field of operations is on Snake
River and in Egeria Park. NttsedstI'

There are thirty rum shops to every school

exists such a disproportion between the

Renewing Old Meadnma.

Spring always finds the farmer with
plenty to do, no matter how much he gets
done in the fall, so it is a good plan to
do all that can be done in the fail in
order that all the time of spring NAV be
used in crowding the work of getting in
the crops aad cultivatiDg them early
Those who keep the same piece of land
in meadow year after year, have probably
not ced that it becomes thickly matted
and forms compact sod, so that there is
meager or inferior growth of grass.
Our own plan is to p ow up meadows be-
fore they get in this cond tion, but
writer in the Wisconsin Agri-W urjst who
evidently has old meadows VIII ch need
renewing, advocates the following plan
of doing it:
lie says because a meadow falls off in
productiveness, is not sign that it is
worn out or exhausted rs some farmers
are wont to believe. Such meadows can
be greatly bcne ted and II ade to weld
abuudantly. 1t has been our practice,
whenever it was found necessary, to sub
ject them to mechanical treatment and
the results have invariably been highly
satisfactory. The meager growth of the
grass is due to the closeness of the
plants, and, therefore, all that is neees-
sary is TO thin" or weed out the su
per uous growth, which is effectively
and readily accompl shed by passing
over them with a sharp toothed harrow.
A disc harrow will answer, but teeth
are prele able. BY this operation the
sod is lacerated, the redundant
growth killed, and the remaining plants,
| in consequnce, make luAuriant growth,
and large crop is the reward. This work
| should be done either in the fall or in
the spring, and, the d is, through
the narrowing, rendered rough or un-
even, it is well 70 pass over it with a
heavy roller, so that the crop may be
cut near the ground when having time
comes.
A judicious application of well-rotten
barn yard man re at the same time,
would greatly increase its productive.
/ ness
With this last statement we most
| heartily agree. In TACT it would be no
wonder if it was not the well-rotted
manure having a chance to work among
the roots because of the stirred up CON
dition of tho meadow, that produces the
more abundant growth and the better
| duoAity VI grass dS mum do lhC lulu 70
ming process. Well ll-rotted manure, any
fine manure, will help any meadow. If
you have any time to get it out and have
it, do not let any manure stay in the
cheap or barn yard through the winter
get it out now. Usually the meadow
can be got upon with team and wagon
in the fall with less damage than in the
spring when the ground is soft.

The Death of Clear Tbougbt.

"Some of the old poets thought the drink.
Ing cup was cup of poetry and elouue nce,
but that delusion has Il ed under the accumus
lating witnesses of n times Each glass Of
spirltuous drink is the death of clear and
beautiful thought. The tongue thickens
the words lose their sharp outline the eve
its flash under even the best of wines When
God made man He declared a partnership
between temperance and inspiration and
made cup of water the emblem of all clear
thought. lt is singular incident that while
Anacreon and Horace drank wine heavily
they made Helicon send forth only streams
Of pure water for their nine muses. to
drink. There were many of these
fountains; Heicon, Pindus, Parnassus, which
could lend inspiration to the god or he
mortal who should taste their crystal drops.
These tabled springs were located by men
who knew that the wine cup was an eclipse
OF the intellect, n stup not to be endured by
god. What n wonderful logic was that
which planned Perian Springs for all high
born beings. and which gave Anacreon a
tlagon of wine What n wis Tom stil is that
10y which our scholars send the nine muses. to
a spring of pure water for securing a new
atliatus, and then seek their own inspiration
in n barrel of whisky. What is so good for
the muses. ought to he good for man. All
Intoxicating drinks take away that soul
which rela'eS man to the Creator. Wine is
the paralysis of thought. Prof Dduid

Preservation of n lssn's "Yictory. y


The Englishman takes but little inter
est in anniversaries of British victories,
and even the celebration of the Battle of
Waterloo fell into desuetude after the
death of the Duke of Wellington, the
hero of the fight. But the Britisher
clings fondly to the tangible mementoes
of great contests, foremost among which
is the grand old ship, the Victory, which
has again returned to its moorings in
Portsmouth harbor, having been thor
oughly repaired at cost of $50. 600.
The ancient craft is one of the main at
fractions to visitors, representing as she
does style Of craft that, although now
obsolete, was once England's pride and
safeguard. There is a ring of thorough
patriotism that might be emulated in this
country in the public opinion as voiced
by the London Chronic in the follow
ing brief extract: The ship that carried
Nelson into action at Trafalgar, and in
whose cockpit the dying hero heard the
conc luding thunders and shoutings of
the great sea fight, will not be a mere
useless sppendage to the.permanent fleet
at anchor at Portsmouth. Salutes will bC
fired from her decks, and in a cabin ad
joining the one occupied by our immor.

We are glad to think that t &c Victory is
likely to last another century, conveying
silent but effective lesson to our youth
of martial suggestiveness, and of duty
bravely and splendidly done. -SaH Fran.

Feeding Heavy Draught Horses


Too little care is taken by farmers
generally with the feed of their horses.
In all the large stables of our country.
as well as those of Europe, the care and
feeding of horses is systematiked The
horses on the street car lines have their
coarse feed cut and their grain ground.
This is true, also, of horses used for
heavy teaming. If it pays the owners
OF these horses to hire men to prepare
food for them, why will it not pay tho
farmer to prepare food for his horses?
Some times the rations prepared for
horses doing heavy work all the while
can be used for farm horses when at
heavy work. If they cannot be used
they may suggest good rations that may.
With this object in view, we give the
ration fed to heavy draught horses in
large teaming corporations of England.
The daily allowance of hay is IL pounds,
this is cut up with or pounds OF
clean oat straw. If the horses are at
very heavy work and pat in long hours
the fodder ration is increased to 10 OF
% pounds, three-fourths of which is good
meadow hay.
The fitting proportion of the albumi-
mold materials requisite for the forma-.
tion of red blood and vigorous muscle
in hard worked, heavy horses ranges
from one to tive. or six of the carbona-
ceous or other food constituents. This
ratio is secured by the liberal use of
beans and peas, which contain weight
for weight, nearly three times the
amount of fesh-formers as oats, and
Dearly four times that of corn. The
mixture Of grain given daily TO each
horse consists of 1874 pounds beans,
LES pounds peas, 9.25 pounds corn, a. D
oats. The grain is used cracked, but
not too much crushed or bruised. No
beans should be used unless clean,
sound, and weighing 70 pounds TO "a
| pounds per bushel. Oats are carefully
selected of at least 40 pounds per bushel,
natural weight, and clean, sweet, dry,
and hard. livery Saturday night a
mash, consisting of 81 pounds bran and
pound linseed, is served TO each horse,
and on sunday little more than one.
half the working day allowance of corn
is given. Many experienced horse own
ers would object to this dietary on ac.
count of the large proportion of corn,
which they would reduce, correspond.
ingly increasing the oats; while others,
now that barley is cheap, introduce one
or two pounds of it into the feed. The
cooking for food for horses Is now
properly Teprobated, on account of III

while, moreover, 1t interferes with con
