ELK AND BUFFALO.
The One Trained for Trotters and
the Other for Beef

A correspondent of the Texas
Live Stock Journal writes from Good
night station, in Texas, near the Staked
Plains, as follows:
Through the kindness of Mr.. Good
night. we were shown over the prem.
ises. Visiting the park or pasture con-
tanning the wild animals dOmesticated,
my attention was first attracted to the
four large male elks with their massive
antlerS projecting several feet above
their heads. A Short distance from
these were the same number of female
elks and several young ones. Some Of
the smaller ones appeared to be year
lings. while the others had the appear
ance of being only few months old. I
These animals were bought in the
Rocky mountains and shipped at a
heavy expense by Mr.. Goodnight to
their present quarters. They are per-
fectlv gentle, so much so that they seem
to have no fears whatever, but Will
allow. you to handle and pet them and
are in every respect as dOclle as kitten.
1t is Mr.. Goodnlght's intention to
breed these elks for the purpose OF
making trotters or light harness ani-
mols of them. 1t is well known fact
that they are very fleet, and that their
ldSIeSJ RtttG 10 u IiOt' w HCii WCil oiulhO0
no other animal ever trained to harness
can keep pace with an elk.
My attention was next called to the
massive buffal0es found grazing In the
same pasture with the elkS. While
there are among them all sorts. kinds
and sizes, yet there are a few of the
older males that are the largest L ever
saw, and to say that | have seen hum
dreds of thousands at one sight would
not in my opinion be an eXaggcration:
The elks were in fine condition and
seemed to do we'll, but the buffalo are
rolling fat, The grass in the pasture
is short, proving that tho buffaloes are
better rustlers than cattle. or in other
words, that the butfaloes will take on
flesh and become very fat while
cattle on the same pasture will barely
hold their own. The knowledge OF
this fact has induced Mr. Goodnight
at heavy expense to try the expert
ment of crossing buffalo bulls with black
muley COWS. The result has been very
satisfactory so far, as may be seen by
the half-breed calves and yearlings now
in Mr.. Goodnight's pasture. These ami
mails Nhe crosses) will. it is claimed by
their owner, possess the hardness and
rustlng qualities of the buffalo and the
beef-Droducing qualities of the Polled-
Angus the black muley). l am satis-
fed the experiment will prove a sue
cess, and that the live stock producing
world will be indebted to Mr.. Good
night for having brought into existence
the best rustIing and for the range the
most popular breed of cattle III the,
world.

ling exchange quiet and weak, at 4.S34
for sixty day bills, and 4.S719 for de-
mand. The activity and strength in
the stock market yesterday disappeared
entirely to-day, the dealings sinking
back into the late prevalent stagnant
and listless condition. In the stock
market to-day, the demand for the
shorts was lacking, and while the for
their purchases of yesterday, there was
no disposition to press stocks for sale.
The market, therefore, Notwithstanding
the material advances i'll London
again became dull and lifeleSs,
with the usual accompaniment of droop-
ing figures. The wailing was princi-
pally caused by the interest in the new
law and the announcement that the
prices at which silver will be offered or
accepted will not be made prbic met
with some adverse comment. The spec
uIation in silver certificates at the stock
exchange suddenly became dormant and
where the transactions of late have run
ND into the hundreds of thousands of
ounces, few bids and offers comprised
the business done to-day. The strength
of Yesterday was carried over to this
morning, especially as the early London
figures were so strong to which only
partial response was made. That the
demand had been satisfied, however
soon became apparent and while London
did purchase small line of stocks it
failed to support the market after the
first few inmates trading. Money was
also marked up again, though it did not
come within many per cent of its ex-
treme height Of the past days, but it
had the effect of sagging prices off
slowly in all portions of the list. Dull
ness and stagnation, however, resumed
their sway in the market. and after the
first hour there was little change in
quotations, outside of few specialtieS.
Canadian Pacific was the strong point
on the list, and it scored material ad-
vance, while cotton oil receipts devel-
oped marked weakness, though por-
ton of the loss was recovered. There
was slight rally in the last few min
utes. as reaction from the depression
made by the strike upon the Delaware u
Hudson. which dropped that stock ~
per cent and the close was dull but firm
at small fractions under first prices, but
close to the lowest of the day. The
final changes show considerable irregu-
larity, with slight predominance of
losses, and the only important one was
the advance of II in Canada Pacific.
Railroad bonds were still dull and quite
featureless, the changes in quotations
remaining insignificant with but few
exceptions. The sales were only s691,-

BUTTER PRICES.
Why They Are Low, as Viewed by
the Des Moines Register Farm

Why They Are Low, as Viewed by
the Des Moines Register Farm
er.
The dairymen are under the harrow
of low prices, and at no time since dali
rying was done in Iowa has the owner
more need of the courage cf philosophy.
This comes only from knowledge of
facts. Butter making has increased
with wonderful rapidity in the last few
years. Iowa has, perhaps, as many
cows at work as New York, about
million and half, and the state has not
half as many as it will have in few
years. Butter is made from grass and
grain principally. While Iowa and
grain in such quantities that it was
ers bought it and turned it into butter,
because the West drove them from
grain raising. The Western farmers
saw the folly of this and went to dairy
ing. The East continues at the business
also, with gradually decreasing profits.
The industry is temporarily overdone;
besides, bogus butter made from other
elements than milk is on the market i'll
considerable quantities. The titteSt
will survive. Low prices like the pres
ent give low wages to the Iowa dairy
man. but to the Eastern dairyman they
are fatal, because he must pay twice as
much for the materials to make butter
from as we do here. The cheap corn
of the present, caused by a great crop
last year, has been one of the principal
causes of cheap butter now. Let the
Western dairyman hold steady hand.
AS the result of war generally turns in
favor of the heaviest battalions. and to
the side that has the most money and
the best credit, so the advantage in
these great industrial struggles will be
with the farmers who have the cheap
est grass and grain. The present
prices are driving Eastern dairy
men out of the business, and a
short time will show it. Iowa
farmers must keep cows. There is no
other way to keep the land good but by
keeping a large per cent of the farm in
grass, and cattle are necessary TO eat
grass, and COWS are necessary to breed
cattle. Present prices will teach dairy
men some lessons that some of them
have not learned. They must make
more of the calf and breed for better

HOW TO BOIL.
There Is Science in 1t, as Found
by the New York Tribune.

There is no process of cooking which
requires so much care, and is so often
neglected, as boiling. This is the most
extravagant method of cooking any
meat if the water in which the meat is
cooked is not utilized as stock. In the
necessity of the case no meat can be
boiled without losing some of its nOur-
ishing qualities and enriching the water
in which it IS cooked. The French
process of brasing, by means of which
meat is closely covered and slowly
boiled in stock which becomes grad
ually absorbed by the meat. is the only
one by which the meat does not suffer
actual loss. All meat, in boiling, should
be merely simmered. There should be
a slight ebullition to the edge of the pot,
nothing more. This ebullition should
be kept up steadily till the meat is ten
der, and no longer, as nothing is more
injurious to any boiled dish than to
allow the boiling to stop or to cook it
after it is done.
There is difference of opinion as to
the best methods of cooking salt meats.
Some excellent cooks plunge such meats
into clear, cold water, and bring the
water gradually to the boiling point,
while others believe they obtain the
best effects by cooking them in boiling
water. In either case, after the meat
begins to boil, it should merely simmer.
There are also two methods of cooking
fish. One is to plunge the fish from
cold water into boiling salted water,
and let it slowly simmer till done. The
better method is toput perfectly fresh
fish over the fire in cold water, bring it
very slowly to the boiling point, and let
it remain at this point till done.
Most vegetables are better cooked
fast, excepting potatoes, beans, peas,
cauliflower and others which contain
starch. Cabbage should be boiled rap
idly in plenty of water; so should on
ions, young beets and turnips. Peas
ean be cooked thoroughly when tender
in twenty minutes. They should be
slowly simmered in as little water as
