AN ATTRACTIVE rOME.

On n beautiful sight near the centre of
this domain and overlooking the placid
waters Of the river Captain Couch has
erected beautiful home. The house is
built Of brick and is planned after the
latest designs in architecture and contains
IL large rooms, skillfully arranged with
a view to comfort and convenience. Here
the captain enjoys the leisure moments
Of his busy life with his worthy family.or
opens his l,ospitnble doors to the visitor.
The house and furnishings represent an
outlay of more than $4,000. .-..~
FINE HORSES. -..5
At the head of his draft stables Captain
Couch has placed Lustre, 1855, National
Register Of French Draft Horses, Vol. v.
This animal is u steel gray, coming four
years old, stands II hands high and is
very wide in proportion. He weighs 1900
pounds, stands well On good legs and feet,
has excellent action, is higl.spirited and
intelligent, and is king among show
horses.
Forest Chief, by Harrison Chief, is at
tile head Of the trotting stock. The sire
| Of this horse has record OF ESQ and lie
is descendant Of long line Of thorough
bred ancestors. He is beautiful bay,
high spirited, kind and has good .ction.
On this model ranch are over 15O mares,
many uf which are standard and we'll
bred animals; among them are fine spec
linens Of the Morgan, Black Hawk, Mann
brino, Hambletonlan, Knox and Clay.
This is one .of the finest herds of horses
in Montana. ..m...=s
Five of these Young horses are in train
ing at the North Montana Fair grounds,
where they are doing some excellent
work and will no doubt make creditable
records at the fall meeting.
GOOD CATTLE.
Besides raising different breeds Of
horses, Captain Couch has about 600
head Of cnttle. These include thorough
bred specimens Of the Shorthorn, Hereford
and Holstein breeds. The greater mum.
ber Of these cattle are kept On his Smith
river ranch. This ranch is fortune III
itself. Located ut the junction Of tile
/, Smith and Missouri rivers, it includes
oyer 400 acres of natural meadow lands,
which annually produce two toms Of hay
per acre. The remainder Of the ranch
about 100 acres-is excellent pasture
land and the entire ranch Is surrounded
with good substantial fence.
1t Is difficult to estimate the good which
will result to the stock interests of Mon
tana by the importation nf such blooded
stock as Captain Couch has recently
purchased and the careful attention given
by him to training and breeding.
Mr.. John Webber has the management
of these ranches and stock, and although
a young man, is already attracting atten-
tiOn by his successful business operations.

Tie night traffic on the Suez canal
has increased very rapidly since electric
lighting was started. Thus IN 1857
there were in all 81 night transits
made. but in 1889 this number had in
creased 10 2,454 out of a total of 3,420.
or upward Of Il per cent Of the vessels
passing through the canal, and four
Gfths Of the total tonnage, used the
electric light TO assist them At the
same time the average duration OF the
passage has been reduced upward of 40
per cent. Putting these facts into
another shape, it appears that the effect
of the electric light as applied at Suez
has been the same as II the canal had
been increased from % meters, its pres
ent width at the bottom, to 80 meters,
an operation which would cost at least
81, o 1000.

wise. The females OF all animals in
StiDCtively ssek seSlusion during these
trying p-riCds, and that seclusion, with
care and comfort. should be freely given
them. Unless the dairy Is a very large
one, II will not require more than two
or three stalls for the purpose indicated
There is gen rally spare room enough
for these in the average stable. but If
not, erect item e.seN here In warm quar-
ters- Build an ordinary box-stall, with
bars opening OF the stable. The dimen-
s.ons OF the stall need be only sufficient
for tile free movements OF the animal
Make the stalls snug and warm; keep
them dry, and well Uttered with straw
The COW should lie turned loose IN the
stall few days prior to parturitiOn,
and kept there till after the expulsion
of tie placenta. Isolation for longer
period would lie still better. Consult
the farm record, OF memorandum book,
TO see when the natural period of ges-
tation will expire, and keep careful
watch of the COW. She may c;Ilve be-
fore or after her time; her symptoms
and appearance must goverr N this re-
gard. New milch cows, in he severest
weather OF our harsh Nor en- winters,
can be made even more ruhtable than
in midsummer. They lrquire warm
quarters aud abundant food. In the
early spring, when the Greater number
of dairy cows are coming in, stalls are
Indispensable, not C1iy for the comfort
OF cows, but to insure their safe pas
sage through this trying ordeal. In
these matters, the best that man can dc
is to assist nature. Cows that run
down at ca wing time, and are I'll cared
for and neglected, will be proftless TO
their owners the rest OF the season.

PURE FOOD FOR DAIRY CATTLE.
This IS j matter which merits more

here il AN example from a Western

good many Eastern localities. The
Board OF Health of Indianapolis, Ind,
has been making an examination of
creamery and dairy milk sold in that
city, with view OF bringing some per-
sons, who were reported as vIolttors of

The use of what is commonly known as
starch feed may come under the mean
ing of the law. Many farmers IN the
cIty'S suburbs are using the starch,
which is shipped 20 them by the carload,
and the Board Of Health will file COM

VALUE OF SALT FOR MILKING
COwS.-An eXpt Timent made the past
summer with our cows proved that
when handful of salt, or about two
ounces Of it, WIS given every day, the
yield of butter WAS increased one-fftn:
and When salt WAS withheld the Yield
fell OF III the same proportion. The
reason, beyond question, Is that IS salt

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitIl-
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an IN
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets fnfiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when IL is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We Will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we
can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE DUTY OF SHARING MOUSE
HOLD LABOES. S.-Despite the admoni-
tion: Bear yeOne another's burdens, !"
there is in many homes one burden
bearer. Like Samantha Allsn's niece
Serepta, who carried the meetin' house
on her shoulders" " one person is apt to
assume OF accept the burdens that
rightfuIly should be borne by Others.
In one household, II may be the pa
tient, unCOmplaining mother. who does
all the thinking, planning and serving,
while the rest wholly unconscious of
the numberlesS sacrifices made for
them, enjoy life without a care. No
one thinks OF saving the precious
mother or helping her IN countless pos
slble ways, for all have come to feel
that mother doesn't mind" In an
other home, perhaps it is daughter
who is the hurdeu-bearer. 1t is her
coed ~ fortune TO be able to "'turn
her hand to almost anything" and
she is called upon to do for all the rest
and no one mistrusts that she IS doing
more than her share, and that, too,
without thanks. The mother has be
come accustomed to rely upon the
daughters judgment in all things, and
the latter accepts the task of going
ahead" Nor IS 1t in every home, 4
mother or daughter, who, as a friend
once SAID. becomes the packhoIse of
the family. But In far too many homes,
the cares and burdens are not equally
divided. The happlest homes, l ween,
are those in which the spirit OF sacrifice
is present with each, instead OF one,
and with loving thOughtfulness for
others, each bears his part. There, the
father and sons are welcomed at the
close of a busy day and in the family
circle, the harIssing thoughts and per-
pleXities are laid aside.
Not in spirit Of harsh criticism,
nor with an unkind thought, but TO
satisfy yourself of the prevalence OF
the paCkhorSe system, look about you
and observe who are the burden-bear-
ers in the homes you know. Perhaps
you Will find a packhorse in your own
household. IL so, try TO remedy the
evil that has a foothold In your home;
for lt is a crying evil and does injury
TO each one IN that home. 10 Is = gross
injustice 10 the one who accepts the
bearing Of burdens, and fosters selfish
ness IN those who permit It. And you
who have unconsCiOusly accepted the
task which, mayhap, has been unconsci-
Ously imposed upon you, pause to con-
slider what YOU have been doing. You
have been living as though the com
maud had been to you: Bear thou all
the others burdens From this day
try a new plan, and see whether it will
not be better for you, better for those
with whom and for whom you labor
and more Just TO all concerned

An Ingenious modification of the oil
gas method has been adaptt d by Mr..
Gilbert Robinson, CT Elland, in the
design OF high power lamp OF the
LuciSen class, for outdoor purposes.
The object OF this new variety of the
order or lamps that have seriously in
teTfeIed with the prospects of the cleo
tT.c arc lamp for variety of purposes,
Is the abolition OF all outside mechani-
Gil appliances for generating the light.
Pressure is required, of course, and
this is obtained by confining the gas
produced from portion of the liquid
hydro carbon combustible exposed TO
the heat OF the fame for this purpose.
The lamp is thus made independent OF
pumping, a'r-compressing machinery,
etc, and only needs to be started by
making the burner hot with the flame
of a handful of oily waste burnt IN a
receptacle provided for the purpose.
The oil is then turned on. and the lamp
works automatically until the reservoir
is emptied. This simplicity of princi-
pie permits of simplicity OF design.
The gas-making portion of the lamp
comprises a tube in which the oil is
exposed to the heat of the fame.
Wien the gas Is made, It is divided
into two currents-one going into the
top Of the reservoir, 10 force the oil out
into the carboniZing tube; the other
going to the jet, whence it issues, after
few minutes working, at a pressure
of % h. II is thus oil gas that is
burnt; and the maker calculates that
b. this means light of 5000 candles
can be obtained at u cost of I'd. to Sd.
per hour, according TO the facilities for
obtaining the common oil required.
