HORSE POINTS.

Unless horse has brains he is not
teachable. A horse that has breadth
and fullness between the ears and eyes
will not act mean or hurt any one. The
eye should be full and hazel color, the
ears small and thin and point forward,
the face straight with square muzzls and
large nostrils. The under side of the
head should be we'll cut under the jaw
with jawbone broad, and wide apart un-
der the throttle. The back short and
straight and square rump, high withers,
shoulders well set back, aud broad but
not deep into the chest, fore feet short,
hind legs pretty straight, fetlocks low
down, pastern joint short with round
mulish foot. There are all kinds OF
horses. but the animal that has all these
points is almost sure to be slightly grace
full, good natured and serviceable. Ten

Eyes, I have some fyl7y experiences
on the road, said Ne.8 York drummer
just in from trip thrglgh Texas and
Mexico
About three weeks ago | was going
from Eddy to Roswell, N. NJ, on the
stage coach myself and the driver be-
ing all on board. We met a great many
teamsters loaded with goods from the
railroad towns far the interior, and
noticed that every one OF them made
the stage give the road. ! asked the
driver what made him do 1t, telling him
that the law requires everything else
to give the right OF way to the United
States mail.
Now" / said, "the next wagon we
meet you keep the road and I'll do the
talking"
All right, boss. eff you say So he
answered, smiling peculiarly.
Well, we met the next wagon at a
very bad place in the road, and the
driver, obeying instiu :tions, stopped.
put my head out of the coach and called
out to the teamster in front of us that
he must turn out as this was Uncle
Sam mail
The teamster went down into his
wagon box and, whipping out big Colt Q
revolver, said:
'Looky here, young man, I'll have
you to know that this amt no kintry
NV plug hats, an that Uncle Sam don't
travel this road; an eff he did, by 49,,
he'd hat to give the road to the lightest
load! Now, I'll give you jist one mint
to git out'n my wayp :.
"Well?" asked the listener, seeing the
narrator pause, what did you dor"
The drummer smiled.

MANAeEMENr OF WORN OUT LAND.

There is natural fascination about
the attempts to take what is seemingly
worthless and give it value. Either st
is this, or the fact that poor land can al
ways be bought cheaply and usually on
the easiest terms makes poor land sale
able when property that was certain not
to pay in years of any other character
could not find purchaser on any terms.
But in most cases, cheap as the poor
farm may seem, that in a high state of
cultivation will be really cheaper, what
ever the price asked for it. The cost OF
bringing up poor land to the point where
1t will begin to pay is always greater than
is expected. The land that is now pay
ing can generally be depended on to
pay under good management as well as
it has done. It has recognized value
that can be determined. If the poor
land is bought it has to be experimental
with, and possibly money has to be sunk
before it can be made to pay The old
saying, to him that hath shall be given,
and from him that hath not shall be
taken away what he seemeth to have, is
quite as true of land as it Is of people.
Fertility tends to make fertility even
more surely than does money make
money.--Boston Cultivator.

TO DRESS A BEEF.

A slaughtered beef may De dressed in
this way: As soon as it is dead the car
cass is turned on its back and the hide
il slit up the belly, without cutting
through into the interiors. The knife is
passed from the brisket up the forelegs
to the knee, and this joint is separated
aud left in the hide for the present. The
hind legs are treated in the same way.
The skin is then stripped off as far as
possible to the back and round the neck.
The carcass is then raised partly so as to
remove the skin from the rump and
down the back, and, as is necessary, it is
raised more until the head is free of the
ground, when the hide is completely re-
moved, and the head is cut off. When
the carcass is half raised it is opened
and the intestinss removed. It is then
hoisted up, and washed down with cold
water and left to hang until cool. II
may be desirable to split the back bone
at the shoulders and open the carcass to
hasten the cooling. When well cooled
and quite stiff the meat is cut up, first
into halves down the backbone and then
into quarters. II is then ready to hang
up. and may be further divided as may
be convenient. Meat that is to be salted
should be hung few days before it is
cut up, itkeeps better for it, and any
bloody parts, as about the neck, should
be well cleaned before the meat is put In
the pickle, as any blood in it will make
the pickle sour in : tho warm weather,

SETTING AxLEs.

In setting axles for carts and carriages
the wheels should be a trifle wider apart
at the top than at the bottom; also
gather little in the front to prevent
pressing on the linchpin or nut holding
the wheel on the axle. In the carriage
trade these variations from straight
line are called the "swing" and
s'gather." The latter is the forward
inclination of the spindle relatively to
the general line of direction of the
axetree. The swing is the outward in
cfination of the top of the wheel, and is
to meet the requirements of the conical
axle, so that the bottom edge of the
spindle shall ride about horizontally.

A BUsHEL OF ONIONS.

The weight of bushel of onions
varies as they may be dry or damp and
fresh. Green onions will weigh fifty
six pounds to the bushel, but in the
spring the same onions will weigh no
more than forty-eight pounds. The
largest onions weigh the most; the
small seed onions when dry weigh
only twenty-four pounds to the
bushel. The legal weight of market
onions, where there is any standard, is
ffty-two pounds bushel. New York
Tribune.

Picked meat should be opened in the
spring, before the weather is warm, and
the pickle drawn off and boiled; by this
the albumen which makes the pickle
sour will be removed by straining, as it
will be become solid. More pickle may
be added.

Loulsiana,s ktce crop.

A Louisiana man says that the rice
crop of that State this year will be
fully one-half Of the entire crop of the
United States. "The raising of rice, y
he says, "has worked wonders for the
interest of our State. 1t has prac-
tically opened up a new industry in
the agricultural line, and hundreds
of farmers who thought their lands
valuless when the cotton gave out
now find themselves in position that
will soon place them in one year
where cotton could not put them in
five. It is really the most lucrative
of all the new industries in the
South"

PUEBLO POINTERS.

A. L. Graham has been elected his
own successor as president OF the board
Of trade. Mr.. Graham is always on the
alert for anything relating to the in
terests of his city and is now in Denver
waiting on the legislature in its be-
half
j. A. Wayland, the retired editor Of
the Coming Crisis has decided to start
peoples party paper somewhere in
Indiana, probably in Greensburg. Mr.
Wayland says the Hoosiers are in the
right mood for some new party ideas
and he will proceed to tell them what
has been done in this state and what
they can do if they will.
The dry goods and clothing houses
did n big business as result of the
pay day at the Bessemer steel works.
w. r. Gregg, the erstwhile C. C. Il 1.
coal dealer well known in Bessemer has
fallen under financial crash. On Tues
day two heavy attachments one of SILL
400 by the American National bank, and
one for $4,000 by W. Is. Williams of
Denver were run on him. Whether or
not Mr. Gregg can straiEhten up his
business affairs is not known.

Heavy freight Receipts.

Some idea can be formed of the
enormous business being done by
the G. Il. & /. Co. when the freight
receipts of the ID. & II. G. railroad
from this point are considered. G..
w. Kelley, the agent at the Besse-
mer junction says that the receipts
for the present month will amount
to not less than $l20,00O.00. This is
for such received stock as lime
stone, coke, ore etc. used by the c.
+. & l. Co. and does not include the
freight on the outgoing shipments
at all. The money paid out for
freight to the ID. & II. G. Co.. there
fore Is one-half more than that paid
the employees in the mill. -Four
thousand dollars per day paid out
for freight on stock received at the
steel works is doing business on a
broad gauged plan. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Kelley handle this vast
amount of work alone and until a
week ago were also obliged to look
after the duties of day and night
operator. The wonder is how they
can attend to it all.

CITY AFFAIRS.
The City Council Versus the Peoples
Party.

The members of the city council who
refused the privileges of the hall to
the peoples party and these who up
hold such un arbitrary action will
find themselves in hopeless minor
ity when the next municipal cleo
ton comes round. The defense set
up by the council that the petition
ers asked for the hall as council No.
2, and not as the peoples party is Il
very weak one. 1t is II thin veneer
ing that fails to hide in the least the
purpose of the council, for nor only
they but every one who is taking
any notice whatever OF the trend of
public affairs in the city knew of
the organization of the peoples party
and for the better discussion of
municipal affairs had resolved it
self into moot or mimic council.
The INDICATOR published the re-
ports of the peoples party meetings
at the time and every reading man
in the city knew of the proceedings.
The aldermen knew before hand
that the hall would be applied for
and came to the meeting pre-
pared.
Whether or not the second council
would "burlesque' the city council
Is question that can be foretold
only by prophets and very wise al
dermen of this city; and just why
council should object to having its
official acts discussed is matter
causing much comment.
1t is the intention of the much
talked of and seemingly much feared
second council to discuss the affairs
OF the city and enact into spurious
ordinances certain measures as they
would have them and to transact
III, In the discussion of these affairs
exceptions to the official acts of the
city council are taken, has any
crime been committed? Is the
council not subject to criticism?
Certainly il is. If the critic council
declares that the viaduct should
have been built across Northern av, =
nue. six months ago who shall say
that the criticism is not just? No
one. Not Il man woman or child in
the city will deny it.
AS the INDICAoR said last week
the peoples party is organized into
an educative association and its
mission is to prepare for the APP
preaching election by outlining the
necessities of the city and publish
ing the manner in which they
would conduct them. If any man
is in the way let HIM step aside; the
engine never stops for the goat.
