Stock Raising in the Black Hills.

IEeimportation OF blooded standard
horses to he Black Hills several years
ago for the purpose OF breeding at the
time provoked considerabled discussion
concerning that section as adapted to
the purpose. In this, as in all cases,
"the proof OF the pudding is the eat.
ing" and the adaptability OF this eli
mate to horse breeding is best shown
by the results already attained. With.
out going into detail, a lew facts may
be given. At the present rlme there
are 14O men or firms in the Black Hills
who are engaged in horse raising.
These own in round numbers $4,000
head OF horses, most of them having
been bred in the Black Hills, although
nearly all have been sired by import
ed or standard bred stations. Each
year has seen the grade OF perfection
in horsefesh advanced, and it hasnot
vet reached the limit OF possibilities.
Each year for many years to come will
witness better results attending the
horsemen's efforts, until the Black
Hills will have q reputation as far as
horses are known.

Pigeons Of War.

To one not previously acquainted
with the facts the amount of scientific
study that has been devoted to the
birds known rs homing pigeons must
appear surprising. The true homing
pigeons are not Identical with the
ordinary carrier pigeons, but are
almost all descendants OF a specially
trained and developed race OF birds
in Belgium, where they are called
passenger pigeons, or traveller pigeons
les pigesons voyageurs. These
pigeons have been enrolled, so to speak,
IN the armies OF Europe, OF which
they form ally important members.
A map recently published in La Nature
shows the many lines of pigeon COM
munic1tion running from the frontier
fortresses of France, Germany, Italy,
Spain and Portugal to the capitals OF
those countries.
Pigeons are kept trained to fly
along these routes, and they could
carry the news OF an invasion when
ali the telegraph lines and other
ordinary means of communication
we're cut off.
The ability OF q pigeon to find its
way home across many hundred miles
OF country is frequently ascribed to
writing on this subject in Nature,
points out that this theory has been
entirely disproved by the pigeon races
that have taken place between Rome
and Belgium. The distance is eight
hundred or nine hundred miles. The
pigeons used had been trained to fly
from the south OF France to Belgium,
but about halt OF the country lying
between Rome and Belgium was un.
familiar to them. Hundreds were
started from Rome, but only very
few got TO their homes in Belgium, and
they occupied from eleven days to two
weeks.
The explanation is that the lofty
chain OF the Alps cut off their view OF
the country farther north that was
familiar to them, and so they were
lost, only those which flew along the
coast unit! they reached southern
France being able to find their way.
When fog and mist conceal the face
of the country the pigeons make very
slow progress. Under ordinarily
favorable circumstances pigeons lily
from southern France to Brussels, q
distance OF about five hundred miles,
between sunrise and early evening
Their average rate of flight varies
from twenty.seven to 1orty-seven
miles an hour. OF course they can
fly much faster with the wind than
against it. They do not fly after 8
o'clock in the evening.

outcome OF his case before taking the cure.
Karl Nelson, defaulting book keeper and

suddenly left the city, after learning OF Mel

Tha, Mining Tresspass.

The dispatch from Deadwood, s.

OF the Big Missouri mine into that OF
the Highland, is misleading, and has
CT eated wrong impression, not only
with Black Hills people but with the
outside world, says q recent special
telegram. Both these mines are cit

has been no chamber or body OF ore
discovered as yet by the Big Missouri
Company in connection with the

and at this depth the Missouri people

Before anything in the way OF trou-
