New York's wild Animals Get Horse Me II
but Won't Accept Mules.

New York's wild Animals Get Horse Me II
but Won't Accept Mules.
Central Park has slaughter-house, says
the New York Morning Journal, and Hen
ry Zier presides over 1t. There, worn-out
horses, goats and sometimes other animals
are killed and the meat prepared for the
big beasts of the menagerie. Every other
day Mr.. Zier takes an old horse out
of the adjoining stable, quietly ties
his hind leg to rope, which is
attached to wheel and pulley
and in iiffy the horse is in the air kicking
for life, while, with one well-directed stroke
o! his ak the butcher knocks all conscious
ness out of the animals head, and within
five minutes he is skinned, quartered, and
the icebox is filled with as tasty and nicely
cut horse meat as ever satiated the appetite
of carnivora.
''These horses" said Mr.. Zier, "are
usually very old, and we buy them from
dealers for from So to 81 apiece.
"On an average horse will give 400
pounds Of meat, and the animals generally
get away with $50 pounds day. So YOU
see we can get along with one horse every
other day.
''Is the meat tender? Why, yes, fairly
so. The animals like it as we'll as beef.
But they do object to mule meat.
"I've only killed two of them since I've
been here, and when we fed them to the
lion thought he'd break the bars. 1T was
like giving him leather. 1t was simply i'm
possible for him to get bite OF course,
when the little goats who are used to run
the goat carriages get old or are no longer
fit for use, we kill them and feed the meat
to the animals. As rule, that is a great
feast. They could stand goat meat every
day.

What the Sheet From the Wild and WoolIy
West Has TO Say.

Arizona Kicker1
For two straight years the Kicker has per-
sistently opposed the idea of boom to at
tract attention to our town. We have
watched this boom business in scores of
other places, and in every instance it has
reacted disastrously. Our course has
aroused the ire of certain spectators,
but we shall continue it just the
same. We've got 200 acres of
cactus pasture which we should like
to dispose of to some Ohio farmer who wants
to better his condition, and who could be
worked up to part with $1,000 in cash, but
we haven't the cheek. We own half mile
OF side hill, which won't even grow rattle
snakes, but we haven't the gall to boom it
for a peach orchard. A million years hence
we may have six railroads here, but we can't
force ourselves to whoop-la! hurrah! over
the prospect. We own about fourteen
billion dollars worth of wildcat mining
stock, every mine being in the clouds, and
but for our honesty we'd proceed to boom
and unload. We are at the head of a COM
pany to turn the Pacific ocean into the
deserts of the west-president OF an artesian
we'll ompany-Secretary of the Great
Strawberry Growers Association, etc., etc.,
but we were born honest and we can't look
a tenderfoot in the eve and lie TO him.
No, gentlemen, this town is what it is and
no more. 1t isn't going to be second Chi
cago. 1t has no Niagara Falls. There isn't
even good fishing within 80 miles of us. We
simply have the great Arizona Kicker, 14S
saloons, 16 gambling houses, i've stores and
population of $500 souls, most of which
will take 'the other road when the judg-
ment day arrives. That's all, and those
who don't want to come can stay away.

NEW ZEALAND GUM.
Dreary Life of the Kauri Diggers and the
Extent of the Industry.


Extent of the Industry.
Kauri gum is found in no part of the
world outside of New Zealand. 1t forms a
very extensive item of export and furnishes
employment to large num- Der of laborers.
1t is not, however, very remuneratlve, as
the most diligent worker cannot average to
exceed 81 to 81 80 per day. Out of this he
must find board, lodging, clothes, tools, ETC.. /;
in fact, he must find everything out of his
earning. The gum diggers live in the most
primitive manner, and if they have fami-
lies. which is frequently the case, they have
to endure many hardships indeed. Living
in little tents or rudely constructed whases
(Maori name for hut). away from civilizs-
tion, with nothing to cheer them, nothing to
gaze upon but drearv waste Of barren and
desolate-looking gum feld"-even the
beauties and charms of nature have depart
ed from the scene-as wherever gum is found
the land is invariably worthless and unpro-
ductive, with nothing upon it but scrubby
bush and very scanty vegetation.
There is, however, one person on the gum
fields or New Zealand who invariably be-
comes well off, if not wealthy-tEat is the
storekeeper. To him the digger must come
for supplies, and inasmuch as there is no
competition, there is no limit to what the
storekeeper may charge, except the dIgger's
ability to pay or his own conscience (the
latter, it Is admitted, is very elastic).
From the following figures NAV be CLEANED
the extent and value of the gum trade of
New Zealand: From 1858 to 1885, inclusive,
there has been 9,673 tons OF gum pro-
duced valued at S23, 432, go. The quantity
produced last year amounted to s, 4S2 tons,
valued at 81, 142, ,865. Four thousand six
hundred and niuety-three tons of this article
were exported to the United States, valued
at 81 ,009, ,406.

FARMS OF THE WEST. .

Wonderful sights in Grain Gathering and
PIowing-The Largest Farms.
1 have had the curiosity to see one of the
big Dakota farms, writes Ben Abou to the
New York Press, and went out yesterday
with John w. Dwight to the famous Dwight
farm. The fields are each $40 acres in size,
mile square. They are surrounded on
every side by railways, and there are no
fences. The roads are supposed to be 90 feet
wide, but the fields are plowed right out to
the double wagon way of about 20 feet, and
thus no land is left to waste.
saw Al reapers cutting grain in two OF
these big fields. The reapers require four
and five horses or mules to pull them, and
the bundles or sheaves are tied with cord
automatically and tossed to one side for
shucking. Farming Oh such scale is
entirely unlike the old wav down East.
The grain is stacked in the field, threshed
on the ground and hauled in great wagons
holding three tons each to the elevators at
the nearest railroad stations. The straw is
burned.
1t rained the day 1 arrived at the farm,
and wheat cutting having just been finished,
threshing was suspended and the hands were
sent out to pillow. They can pillow in weather
when nothing else can be done. They used
wheel plows. drawn by four and five horse
teams, and cutting two burrows each OF
about 13 inches in width. The soil is deep
black loan, its color alone declaring its
richness and fertility. 1t is plowed to
depth of four or five inches only.
L saw q OF these plows being operated in
a 640-acre field. Every time the 81 plows
crossed the field they had plowed under
strip mile long and about 43 or A feet
wide. 1t was a great sight. l was driven
over the prairie roads, level as asphalt, for
Is miles, and everywhere outstretched be-
fore me was wheat stubble, wheat in shocks
or in stacks awaiting threshing. The coun-
try to the eve looks as level as board floor.
Oliver Dalrymple, of st. Paul, is gener-
ally credited with being the largest indi-
vidual farmer in this section. saw him at
Casselton, n. D., as 1 came through there
on the Northern Pacific road. He was just
finishing harvesting, and had cut over 49,
900 acres of wheat. I am told that Mr..
Dalrymple has about 90 600 acres of wheat
land himself, and that he has nearly as
much more land under his control. which is
owned by a pool of his friends. 1t is
ali known as Dalrymple land, and hence he
has come to be known as the largest farmer
of the United States. AS a matter of fact j.
B. Haggin, OF California, who is stock
farmer, outranks Mr.. Dalrymple, having
1000 acres under cultivation or constant
use. The largest land owner out here is
said to be James J. Hill, of the Manitoba
Railroad, who is said to declare that he
thinks it is better than life insurance to
buy the cheap lands of the Northwest and
let them lay TOR his posterity.

But still another piece of good fortune has
befalen Mr.. Graham, upon which he is't be
congratulated. How this came about is best
shown by his own statement. He says: Il
had suffered for good while from catarrhal
trouble. 1t began in my head. My nostrils
would close up first one side and then the
other. There would be frequent pains in my
head.
There would be ringing and buzzing noises
in my ears. feared that my hearing was be-
coming impaired. My throat would fill up with
mucus, 1 could feel the phlegm dropping back
from my head Sometimes my throat would
feel sore and intiamed.
after awhile 1 began to have sharp, stab
bing pains in my chest. My heart would beat
hard and fast. This would be followed by slow,
irregular beating and sensation of faintness.
"My appetite became affected. There would
be feeling Of discomfort at my stomach after
eating, and sometimes nausea and vomiting.
My sleep was broken, and would get up in
the morning tired and unrefreshed. Indeed,
my entire system was broken down from the
effects of the disease.
II began treatment with Drs. Copeland and
Blair and improved from the start. The
symptoms of the catarrh gradually dlsap-
peared, and feel strong and well now. will
cheerfully corroborate this statement to any
one who will call upon me-"

A H0MING PIGEON STORY.
The Wonderful Arnoux Bird Now Owned by
New Jerseyite.

The Wonderful Arnoux Bird Now Owned by
a New Jerseyite.
Philadelphia Record
A. P. Baldwin, Of Newark, N. j., claims
to have at home the Arnoux hen that in
October, 1856. was liberated in Boutte, La,
1.15O miles from home. Although the proofs
are lacking which go to establish a perform
ance and rank it among the records, no one
who knows Mr.. Baldwin's remarkable
memory for birds, coupled with the fact
that the bird in question at once upon its
arrival at the lott took up its old nest-box
and perch, but will in his own mind accept
the return and congratulate the owner.
The bird Arnoux is one OF the most re-
markable birds ever flown to an American
loft. 1t was bred in the Baldwin loft from
bird that in Belgium won two Government
prizes beside many club honors, and was
only sold upon condition that it should be
taken out of Belgium. During the year
1856 this bird Arnoux returned from Morgan
town, N. c., 535 miles; then from Bristol.
Tenn, $40. and finally from Pensacola.
Fla. 1,019 miles, in which journey it had a
record for greatest distance by hen pigeon.
Its journeys that year were, all told, 8, $50
miles air line. Less than a fortnight after
is return home it was sent to the care of
Sergeant Hermann, Signal Observer of the
New Orleans station, and by him forwarded
to Boutte, La, where it was liberated at 9:36
