Successful Poultry Raising.

A successful raiser of poultry writes
as follows "In raising poultry or
stock of any kind it should be the
aim of every one to keep it healthy
and improve it. You can do it very
easily by adopting some systematic
rule" These may be summed up in
brief as follows:
l. Construct your house good and
warm, so as to avoid damp floors and
afford flood of sunlight. Sunshine
is better than medicine.
2. Provide busting and scratching
place where you can bury wheat and
corn and thus induce the fowls to
take the needful exercise.
8. Provide yourself with some good
healthy chickens. none to be over one
to two years. giving one cock to
every twelve hens in the Asiatic and
one to every thirty or forty in the
smaller kind.
4. Give plenty of fresh air at all
times, especially in the summer.
s. Give plenty of fresh water and
never allow the fowls to 60 thirsty.
6. Feed them systematically two
or three times a day scatter the
food so that they can't eat too fast. or
without proper exercise. Do not feed
them more than they will eat up
clean, or they will get tired of that
kind of feed.
7. Give them a variety of both dry
and cooked feed /; a mixture of cook
ed meat and vegetables is an excel.
lent thing for their morning meal.
8. Give soft feed in the morning
and the whole grain at night, except
little wheat or cracked corn placed
in the scratching places to give them
exercise during the day.
9. Above all things keep the hen
house clean and ventilated.
10. Do not crowd to many in one
house. If you do, look out for dis
ease.
II. Use carbolic powder occasion
ally in the busting bins to destroy
lice.
II. Wash your roosts and bottom

Henry ]. Mowry, of Syracuse, is a
great horse buyer and a man who can
tell the good and bad points about a
horse with his eyes shut. He was SO e1-
pert in horseflesh that President Cleve-
land trusted him TO buy his horses, and
the finest animals Washington has ever
seen were brought there for Mr.. Cleve-
land by Mr.. Mowry. Several years ago,
in Syracuse, he went into a car stable
which had just received a fresh stock of
horses. He was asked to look them over,
and did so. After he got through he told
the hostler to bring out n certain horse he
designated.
How much did you pay for that
horse2" he asked one of the directors OF
the road.
"Seventy-fve dollars"
I'm two years, with careful training
said Mr.. Mowry, that horse will be
worth $15, 900 or I'll. eat him."
The director followed Mr.. Mowry's adj
vice, had the horse carefully trained,
and in one year more was worth S15 ,00C
to the owner. But on his first race he
made a misjump over a hurdle, broke
his neck. and horse and SIS, 900 went
skyward.
When Mr.. Mowry told the director to
take that horse out and train him for a
hurdle jumper he did not state that he
would be apt to break his neck before he
made a cent for his owner. Therefore
the director was out g., 900 for training
and a $40 horse.

Formula for Buying a Horse.

A friend of mine, who is a green
horn in the matter of horse flesh, was
anxious to purchase a horse, but was
afraid of being taken in. h tried to
persuade an acquaintance experienced
in such matters to accompany him to
inspect an animal that was on sale at
the horse dealers establishment.
There's no occasion" said the latter,
''for me to accompany you. All you
have to do is to seem knowing. WheH
you get to the place put your hands in
your pockets and your stick under
your arm, and, in an offhand manner,
say, Groom, run him down. Now,
then, pull him up md let him walk )
then in a knowing, but doubtful,
tone, Open his mouth. What did you
say his age vast 1 think he's a little
long in the tooth. Seven years did
you say he vast l should call him 10
or IL years old. Oh, he's a very COLBY
little chap; but 1 think you're asking
out of the way" Ny friend found the
above al excellent formula. Pail

II religious festivals make a people re-
ligious the Sardes are among the most
religious of nations. Seldom did we en-
ter a town or village without finding the
place either in the midst of a fiesta, an
ticipating a coming fiesta, or discussing
the fiesta Just ended. Scattered over the
island are a multitude of small chapels
dedicated to obscure saints, and to which
the villagers for miles around flock with
provisions and bedding once or twice a
year. They camp out in the open or
sleep in adjacent caves; a priest says mass
in their midst, and they all eat and drink
as II they had never before had u good
meal, or as IL the rest of their lives was
to be one long fast.
A disagreeable litter of OK bones, ribs
Of sheep, orange peel, bean skins and
stones of olives strewn amid the grass
near the hermitage or on the level earth
at the very church door, bears constant
witness to the traveller of this sort OF re-
ligious junketing up and down the land.
The following statistics of food consumed
at a traditional gathering. merely to cele-
brate the ordination of a priest in the
district of Mamojada, shadows forth the
magnitude of the Sarde festas In general.
Two thousand five hundred people were
present, and between them they ate 90

TAO sheep, 300 lambs, killings and suck
ing pigs, 900 fowls, 65 measures-of what

REGIN Il WORK.


&c. NJ. Dodge, a director of the Union
Pacific, arrived in the city yesterday. He
announced that orders have been issued
for the expenditure Of 81, 0O0, 600 for con-
s;ructiOn on the Union Pacific road.
Work will commence at once on the ex-
tension of the Cheyenne 4 Northern,
which will be pushed-t to a junction with
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley.
General Dodge stated that through trains
will be run from Sioux city to Denver by
way Of the Elkhorn on the Union Pacific,
and also through trains from Deadwood
to Cheyenne and Denver BY way of the
Elkhorn and the Cheyenne & Northern. ."
The foregoing is taken from the Omaha
Bee and is extremely gratifying as far as it
goes, but we have heard SO much about
railroads being built "at once" that we
would like to see one built lust for the
fun of the thing.
Now we haven't the least bit Of doubt
that the CHEYENNE & Northern Is to be
completed to a junction with the North
western. We will even say that We be-
lieve this work will be commenced in the
spring and pushed rapidly to completion.
But why not now2
Several surveys OF proposed routes have
been made but nom of these are OF n
use now. This work must be done over
again and in the nature OF things must
occupy some time-say a month. II the
work is let go until April this will bring
us to the first OF May. Say the con-
struction of the road occupies three
months, this will bring about the junction
OF the ROADS in August. In the mean.
time the cattle shipped over the Union
Paoife's Gulf road will be unloaded at
Wendover, as heretofore, when consign-
ments for Wyoming and the whole north
west might just as well be shipped to
Casper or even Black Hills points as hap.
pens to be most convenient.
The best evidence that work is to be
commenced at once is to see it commenced
at once. The weather is now exceedingly
favorable for outdoor labor. Perhaps the
most difficult work which will be expert.
enced in the entire thirty-eight miles is
found in the few miles vet to be built in
getting out OF the Platte canyon. This is
rock work and could be as conveniently
done at this season as any other.
1t is OF great importance to Cheyenne
and the whole eastern portion of Wyo-
ming that the Cheyenne 4 Northern be
completed in time for the spring trade.
The present service on the road is a source
of irritation and annoyance to every bust
ness man in Cheyenne and every citizen
Of the northern country who desires to
come here. Laramie and Converse county
after having assumed an Indebtedness OF
$500, 900 to aid the building of this road
deserve some consideration at the hands
Of the Union Pacific. Pushing this work
expeditiously will be OF incalculable benefit
to both counues-to Converse county par
t%icularlY which bears its proportion of the
Indebtedness without a dollars worth Of
benefit in the way Of traffic or taxation.
Let us hope that this work will be COM
menced not in the spring but at the
earliest possible moment this winter,
