In the ShOshOne Oil Basin.

To the writer it seems passing strange
that the Shoshone oil basin, in Fremont
County, does not receive more attention.
Here on the banks of the Little Popoa-
gle river, only nine miles from Lander
and about $50 miles from Rawlins is a
petroleum spring, a lake, and three flow
ing wells, all owned by an Omaha Com
pany. The crude oil has been used as
a lubricant and pronounced q superior
article by the Union Pacific. From the
spring at the base of n lofty hill, the oil
slowly bubbles forth to the accompani-
ment of kissing gas. The writer was,
through the courtesy of the Hons. M.
Murphy and Charles E. B~lydenburg, af-
forded the rare pleasure of witnessing
the spouting of one or two wells, the
plugs being removed for the occasion.
The flow was strong and steady, and
the output almost beyond belief. From
the three wells it would be several
thousand barrels daily.
The lake of oil is 300 yards long
and 80 yards wide. The black, shining
surface is a perfect mirror. From this
reservoir, supplied by the spring, Gil is
taken by the farmers, III ranchmen for
l~ubricating wagons and agricultural I'M
plements. 1t also possesses medicinal
qualities. In food time thousands of
gallons of oil are carried down the
stream beside the lake. About the Dor
ders of the body of petroleum are count
less carcasses of birds and animals lured
to destruction by the deceptive surface
of the sticky mass.
Within two years the owners of the
wells, springs, and lake will have rail
way facilities at their disposal, and Sho-
shone basin oil will be placed on the
market in earnest Cheyenne (Wy0ming)

Origin of Best Man Mt Weddings.

The custom of having q best man at
weddings is one of some antiquity; just
how old we cannot say. It is a survival
not of the fttest. 1t is said that in an
old church in Gochland, in Sweden, a
pile of Iances is fitted to hold a torch,
aud, it is said, the weapons were used
at one time to give light and protection
to marriage parties IN the way to church,
the ceremony taking place at night, as q
p%recaution against the taking away of
the bride by some Lochinvar who claim
ed q better right to her than the duly
recognized sutton. A recent writer,
describing q marriage in Ehurdestan,
says he saw a young man carrying off
his bride, surrounded by a body guard
of some twenty o. thirty men. These
men were supposed to be protecting the
happy couple from a party OF young
women who hurled pieces of earth and
tamb0os at the procession and made
show of rescuing the bride. AS soon,
however, rs the bridegroom reached his
own village with his charge, the assail-
ants ran home, screaming and laughing.
Among ourselves, the term "best mar"
is snid to be a survival of the time when
tue bridegroom had to get strong hands
to aid him in securing the Object of his
affections. There is probably, also, a
survival of the assaults that were then
made on marriage parties, in the showers
of rice and old slippers bestowed so freely
on the newly-wedded.

DehOrning Mich Cows.

The Wisconsin experiment station
gives the following conclusions as the
results of their experiments on dehornt
ing mich cattle:
We have, then, as the result of de-
horning twelve cows:-First, a slight
falling off in the milk yield; second, an
increase in the fat, and third, an in
crease i'll the temperature of the animal,
denoting q slight degree of fever for a
few days after the operation. While
these results are not conclusive, they
indicate that dehorning q well-fed,
healthy COW is not by any means q seri-
Gus operation, and unless further ex-
periments show a more marked injuri-
Gus effect on the animal than the one
given above, the question of dehorning
COWS will depend entirely on the practi-
cal advantages to be derived from it.
If by dehorning we can insure an econ
omy in feed and storage as has been
claimed, and if at the same time there
is no perceptible falling off in the quail
ity and quantity of the milk, then tho
operation will be one of personal CON
venlence. One thing should, however,
be taken into account, and that is tho
condition of the animal. A COW that is
poorly fed or out of condition is certain
ly i'll no condition to undergo an opera
ton of any sort, nor will there be any
benefit derived from it. The question
of injury to the constitution or tempera-
ment of the animal can only be settled
by experiments on n large number of
animals extending over several years.

To Ripen Cream.

Submerge the milk direct from the
COW In ice water. Skim every ten or
twelve hours, place the cream of the
morning in a covered vat, and when the
cream of the evening is mixed with it.,
stir in the starter so that all three will
be we'll mixed latter that no stirring
must be done). Cover up the cream
vat for twelve hours, in a temperature
of Goo to $50, when the cream will be
ready for churning.
The starter is to be made fresh every
day in this way: take one, two, or more
gallons of sweet skinned milk direct
from @ Cooley can that has been sub
merged, heat the can to 900 in u water
bath, keeping it we'll stirred dnring the
process of heating. AS soon as it has
reached the temperature of SOC, cover it
up tight and place in q temperature of
$50. 1t may be ready for use in about
twenty-four hours.
The quantity required for use will be
the same quantity of milk every day,
and will easily be determined by expert
ment. Avery small measure will be
sufficient, provided the above conditions
are secured. I would add that this is no
longer an experiment with me, having
been in constant use for four seasons of
the year. Before adopting this plan,
We experimental with several different
kinds of acids, including the Tactic acid
of commerce, and while we found it not
difficult to produce the acidity requisite
to make butter, we in every case de-
stroyed the fine aroma necessary to
good work.
The quality of the butter depends not
in the amount of acidity produced in
the cream, but rather upon the peculiar
kind of acidity developed. Ergo, the
uncertainty of what the product will be
by the ordinary method.-Hoard's
D0iTyma0n.
