cattle thieves we're credited with, the

cattle thieves were credited with the
crime. .-,-~~
The article bears the stamp of the
sensational telegram, for Emmons coun-
ty farmers and ranchmen who are CON
t~inually coming to the city make no
mention Of any such depreciation nor do
they report any such losses as above
mentioned The part of the article
which refers to "the notorious Judge
Short and his headquarters in a log
cabin on the summit of a rocky hilr' is
written after the dime.novel style, and
would grace a description of the days of
the Texas and Mexico cattle rustlers.
As to the statement that "Short has
long been a terror to the ranchmen in
the Bad Lands" it may be we'll to state
that the name of Judge Short is a strange
one to the Bad Lands ranchmen; they
have never suffered in recent years from
any such depredatlons, and there is not
in the whole area of the Bad Lands any
rendezvous for a band of thieves. The
dispatch sounds, painfully, as though
clipped from some cheap and trashy
Observation-Disclosures tale of the frontier.
There maybe some foundation for the
statement, but it is doubtful.

O A

nese hog is really the basis of one of the
best paying families of swine ever pro-
duced in the United States. The China
hogs and their progeny were crossed
with the Berkshire, the Russia and Irish
Grazier hogs, and in time resulted in
the admirable Poland China family.
The Poland part Of the name comes,
according to reliable testimony, from
the fact that a number Of specimens of
the new mixed breed were brought from
the Shakers by Major Asher, a Polish
gentleman in Ohio. A farmer who pur-
chased hogs later from Major Asher
named his purchase the "Poland hogs"
and the name stuck.
At any rate, o money has been
made off this breed in Ohio than off any
other kind of hog, and its popularity has
been unabated for years in other parts
of the country, though the big Red Jer-
sey is crowding the Poland China as a
market hog lately. 1t has been predict
ed that the Berkshire will supersede all

Novel and Attractive Water Fowl for the
Fancier's Eye.
There are at least five varieties Of
whistling ducks known to the general
public, VIZ, the Widow or Whitehead,
the Red Bill. the Black Bill, the Soft
Bill and the Arcuated. But as but few
of these appear at poultry exhibitions or
are bred by fauciers of water fowl, we
call attention only to the two best
known.
First-The Widow or Whitehead
whistler, Dendrocygna viduata, known
also by the names of Spanish whistler
and Callard Maragnon, is a native Of
South America and is found in large
hocks upon the lakes Of Brazil. It is

Ejaculation for Swine Plague,

ANOcuA2t1on Tor swine F1Ague,
At the recent meeting Of the National
Association of Expert Judges Of SWINE,
held at Lincoln, Neb., a committee was
appointed to investigate the work Of;
DR.. Billings with swine plague, and
its conclusions will be read with
interest. The recent bulletin issued.
by the bureau of animal industry
against incubation receives attention in
this report, and it would appear that
some Nebraska farmers have tangled
themselves up by giving testimony pro
and con concerning inoculation-pro to
DR.. Billings and con to the department.
Of agriculture.
The nub of the committees report is
that it is not wise for farmers to be dis
suaded by the bureaus bulletin from ex-
perimenting with incubation in infect
ed districts. Evidently the committee
reached the same conclusion as did q
trusted agent Of the department of agri-
culture after an extended personal In
vestigation-that incubation Is q pre-
ventive Of swine plague has been proved
! success in Nebraska. Not crediting
Mis- agents report the department has
taken its stand squsrely against inocula-
tion. Occasion may arise in the future
to recall this fact &c r1;nd.-Breeder's

Dressing Poultry for Market.

There are two ways Of dressing poul-
try for market-dry picked and scalded.
Fowls dressed in the former way in all
cases bring the highest prices. 1 tshould
be the aim of every farmer in disposing
of his poultry to ship it in as good con-
dition as possible in order to catch the
eye of the butcher or grocer and secure
a ready sale. Greater skill is required
to dry pick poultry than most people
imagine, in order that the bird" NAV
look plump and handsome. To do this
work properly or with any degree of
satisfaction the fowl should be plucked
when warm-that is, Immediately after
it is killed-as if allowed to get cold be.

apt to tear the flesh.
Commence first by plucking the wing
and tail feathers, then the back, from

breast feathers should be plucked down.
ward-that is, from the legs to the head.
In dressing poultry by this method
you get a double advantage of those
dressed by the hot water process, as you
can save all the feathers. being careful
to keep separate the tail and wing
feathers, and where many are dressed
the sale of feathers amounts to quite an
item of profit.
Dressing poultry by the scalding proc.
ess is by no e agood and profitable
one, as it depreciates the value of the
birds, they looking anything but dainty

a slender, upright neck and carries its
head very erect. It is altogether a
quaint looking bird and its attractive
hess is increased by its soft, low, mel
ancholy, futelike voice, the notes Of
which seem to have been caught from
the wind blown sedges and grasses Of its
native haunts.
In color it is a light chocolate or bright
ferruginous brown on the back and
breast, shading into a lighter brown
upon the under parts; the TANKS are fine
~ penciled with dusky bars; the center
Of the abdomen is black, the wings are
colored like the back, and both have
every feather lacedswith a lighter shade
Of brown; the tail is black and cunei-
form in shape; the bill is black; the '
black; the back of the head and the neck
are black; the forehead, face. cheeks
and chin are white, the separation be-
tween the colors occurring just back Of
the eye; the nostrils are trimmed with
white; the legs are blue.
The Whitefaced whistler occasional
ly appears at the American poultry 9
hlbitions, in the miscellaneous class,
and always attracts attention.
Second-The Red Bill whistler, Dem
drocygna autumnalis. is about the size
of the widgeon. The bill, from which
it takes its popular name, is about two
inches in length and red in color. The
eyes are hazel; the legs are red, and the
hind toe rather long. The plumage is
diversified, the crown Of the head being
chestnut; the sides of the head, cheeks
and throat grayish or dirty white; the
collar, or lower part of the neck, chest
nut; the back and scapulars Of the same
color; the breast pale ashy yellow. each
feather margined with yellowish color,
between the shoulders ashy yellow, but
deeper than on the breast; inner wing
coverts rusty ash; greater coverts ashy;
quilts black, white at the base, forming
an oblique wing bar; tail, belly, rump,
lower part Of back and under the wings
black; under tail coverts a dirty white,
barred or mottled with black.
The Red Bill whistler is found in
South America and the West Indies. An
English writer thus speaks of the ease
with which whistlers may be kept: ssNo
admirer Of these fancy water fowl need
sigh for country accommodation, for
there are gentlemen with the small gar
den ground of London villas who sue
coed with them admirably. All that is
necessary is a warm, dry house facing
the sun, immunity from rats and a
wired grass run in which is a small arti-
fetal pond that can be made either Of
wood Or cement. The water must be
periodically changed, but the pond need
not be of large dimensions. For one or
even two pairs 9 feet by 8 will prove
ample. With regard to feeding, whist
lers are not particularly n&o. They
readily accept almost all kinds of grain
from maize to dari, and as a rule prefer
it when put into their water tin."--Poul-

A Fake Telegram.

The Chicago Herald has q dispatch
to the effect that a band of thieves has
established headquarters in Emmons
county, in the western part Of the state,
and for months has made 6. business Of
running of cattle and horses from sur
rounding ranches. The leader Of the
band is the notorious "Judge" Short,
and his headquarters are in q strong
log castle on the summit of q rocky hill
in the western party Of the county.
Word has been received here that ranch-
men raided the castle and s,sharp battle
ensued, in which several men were
killed and injured. Judge Short, after
having been wounded, was captured and
lynched. The report has not been 0 n

Coal for Steamboats,,

1t looks now as though coal would
supersede wood, as a fuel for the steam
boats which do freighting up and down
the river. On the last trip OF the govern
ment steamer Josephine up the river, it
was argeed upon between the captain
and J%osephus Plenty of the Mercer
county mines that an experiment should
be made with the Mercer county coal as
a steam producing fuel. Accordingly
fifteen tons we're taken on board, as it
was expected that this amount used
with wood, would run the steamer from
Berthold down to Stanton, the captain
and engineer having no idea that the
coal alone would produce steam enough
to carry the boat up stream. Upon a
trial, however, to the surprise of the
captain, it was found that the coal was
much superior to the Sims coal, which
has been used to some extent, and pro-
duced more steam than wood. Captain
Gould and Engineer Titus are generous
in their praises of the Mercer county
coal. ut is much superior TO any other
Ignite coal I have ever used" said
Frank Titus, yesterday, land, although
it burns out very fast, it will be cheaper
for fuel than wood. 1t makes an intense
heat, burns with q clear ash, and leaves
no clinkers behind it."
70 ~ -, o.. .'a - o..
Mr.. Plenty and J. G. Rapelje are much
pleased at the result Of the experiment.
Coal mining is going on rapidly at the
mines, where Mr.. Plenty now is, and the
barge which is now completed will soon
be taken to the mines. Work was begun
on the others yesterday, and the work
will be pushed rapidly to completion.

Best Breeds of Swine.

Of several breeds Of swine: .'There has
been a good demand for Red Jerseys.
The Berkshire and Essex seem to be in
about equal favor. The Red Jerseys
are great consumers with rapid growth
and full development in flesh and fat
for food consumers. They are hardy,
good rustlers and very prolific, raising as
high as three litters per annum. With
an abundance Of food they are rapid
pork makers. The Berkshires share
with the Red Jersey many Of their ex-
cellent qualities. They are good for
ayers and when crossed on the natives
give, perhaps, the best range hogs in the
world"

A suggestion has been made, which
meets with approval, that at future fat

Sad Accident.

A very sad accident, fatal in it's ter
mination occurred near the farm of
Frank Smith, on the Fort Rice reserva-
ton south of the city. George chatham
an old and highly respected resident of
the community, together with his sons
and several other residents were busy
stacking hay. One of the patent hay
stackers was in use, and MI. Chairman
was on the stack, distributing the hay
as it come from the fork Of the stacker.
A quite brisk wind was blowing, and the
stacker fork, filed with hay was caught
by the breeze, and whirled around vio-
lently, striking Mr. chatham on the side
of the head, and knocking him off the
stack to the ground, a distance of about
six feet. He struck violently upon his
head, and the conclusion resulted in
almost instant death.
MI. Chairman was GA years of age, and
and leaves 2 wife and four sons, who are
well-to-do farmers. Mr.. chatham was
highly respected by those who knew
him, and his sudden death was a shock
to his relatives and friends.

In the evening Bishop Walker adj
dressed q large congregation on the sub
