HERE AND THERE.

The Western Swineherd reports a
remarkable exemption from hog chol-
era throughout the great west for sew
eral months past, and decl ares that for
many years hogs have not been so uni
formly healthy.
Scrub stock, whether horses, cattle
or hogs, are so expensive compared
with the results of their feed and care,
and are in such light demand and heavy
supply, that no farmer who knows
which side of his bread has cleo on it,
can afford to waste his time with such.
Farm stock should be kept for the
profit there is in it. The annual loss
from Improbable stock is immense-in
many cases sufficient alone to deter
mine the years work to be a failure.
Under present conditions of close com
petition it will not pay to feed any ami
NAL that will not pay its way.
1t has long been a mooted question
whether animals have souls When we
see the treatment some farm animals
receive we are driven to the conclusion
that their owners have none-or, at
least, none worth saving.
If every crop of potatoes realized
the same profit as little patch in De-
Kalb County, Ala, did the other day,
potatoes would be the only crop raised
in this country. J. =. Reauseau. a
farmer, while digging mess of pota-
toes, turned up $4,000 in gold and
silver.
Farmers who are satisfied with one
ton Of hay per acre will never make
farming pay. On some farms four tons
per acre have been secured during
favorable seasons. If hay crop docs
not give fair return during seasons
when all the conditions are favorable
the land should be put in some other
crop.
-Guineas are one OF the finest table
fowls, possessing certain game flavor
not found in other fowls. They have
full-meated breasts, and possess but a
small proportion of offal. If their real
value for the table were known they
would be in great demand. On the
farm they cost almost nothing, being
industrious foragers, and there never
was better insect eXtorminator.
TO provide u dust bath for tie
fowls it is not necessary to keep dust
in box. Spade up space in the cor
ner of the yard abou. four feet square
and foot deep and sift the dirt SO as
to have it light and fine Let it he
done ON dry day, and should it be-
come wet from rain. repeat the work
the next dry day. After the first ti.ne
it will require but n few minutes
time, and the hens viii enjoy IT very
much.

English legation, who have offered
their services looking toward an ami
cable settlement. Yesterday the
Atlantic cable was kept busy
by cable correspondence between
Earl Kimberly, war secretary and
Washington in the endeavor to secure
President Cleveland as an arbitrator.
President Cleveland was the last resort
as all other names presented we're OBJ
iected to by some one of the powers
interested. Some little excitement is
manifest in naval circles at the action
of the Japanese in firing by the jap
anese on the transport, conveying
Chinese soldiers to Corea, while flying
the British flag and before war had
been officially declared. The feeling
here is decidedly in favor of China on
account of the immense commercial
interests the English have there.

We have seen a number of watch
chains ornamented witha pretty charm
in the shape of a watch Isl opener,
which obviates the use of a knife or
fingernail to open the watch. They
are sent free on request by the Key
stone Watch Case company of Phila-
delphia, Pa. Your jeweler here may
have one for you; if not, send to Phil
adelphia. The Keystone Watch Case
company is the largest of its
kind in the world. It's capacity is $500
watch cases per day. It manufactures
every description of case; but it's great
speciality is that most popular of all
watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filled.
These are equal in beauty and wear to
solid gold-while they cost only about
one-half as much. Boss and other
Keystone cases are the only cases that
have the famous Non-pull-out bow or
ring, which saves the case from theft
or accident. The Keystone company
does not retail, but our local jewellers
handle the cases and swear blythe thief
proof qualities of the ring.

Samuel 7. Green, a brother of livery
man Green, is in the city, having just
returned from an overland journey to
California in company with Mr.. Lar
gent, who had lived near Hermosa for
several years, but thought he could
find abetter land on the coast. They
left the Hills last September and
reached there in December. They en-
joyed the mild winter, but found
farming and everything else in IL de-
pressed condition. scarcity of money
and no opportunity to get hold of any.
Mr.. Green says he worked Oh u farm
for a promise of 50 n month, and all he
got out of it was his board and a 75cent
pair of over-alls. They came to the
conclusion that California was not
what it had been cracked up to be and
left there on May II in disgust, return
ing via Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Wy
oming. Mr.. Green says that with all
of it's drawbacks the Black Hills can't
be beaten.

Caught in. Cupid. Chains.

inona, Mimi,
on Thursday, July %, at the resi-
dence of the brides mother, corner
Fourth and Grand streets, Col. w. j.
Thornby of Custer, s. D., and Miss
Bertha Youmans of Winona.
The above announcement was re-
ceived at this Office today fromasource
which leaves no doubt as to it's truth.
It will doubtless be a great surprise to
nearly every one'in Spearfish, but the
multitude of friends of the contracting
parties will offer the heartiest con-
CALCULATIONS. Col. Thornby is known
to every man, woman and child in the
Black Hills, and that he is favorably
known may easily be inferred from the
fact that he has represented the people
of his district in legislative and other
capacities for many years. Miss YOU
mans friends are confined merely by
the extent of her acquaintance, and
that is very extensive in its scope.
There is not a child in Spearfish who
was at any time under her care in the
model school who does not to a certain
extent worship her next to a mother
It will surely be a source of gratifica-
ton to every n of her friends to
know that she is to return to the Hills
to make ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bulletin
If this is asurpriseto Spearfishpeople
it is none the less SO to the Colonel's
legion of friends at Hot Springs. The
STAR unites with them in wishing the
happy couple all the joy and happiness
to be derived from the happy relation
and tenders it's ~sincerest congratula
lions. Col. and Mrs. Thornby arrived
at Custer this morning, and will soon
go to housekeeping upon his pleasant
ranch near Hermosa.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The men who came UP from Clipperton
Island on the Volant will be paid OF this
morning and discharged, and whether any
Of them will return to the guano-covered
rock has not yet been decided. one OF the
men who went down on the Viking and re-
manned on the island for several months
told some remarkable stories of the treasure
rock yesterday.
He corroborated the tale OF the hungry
crabs and said that the houses which had
been put up had 10 be covered with tin 70

light undershirts: There were any amount
Of eggs to be had, which were laid by birds
resembling wild geese. The crabs would
seize these eggs as fast they were laid
and make of with them.
The harbor," said the Clipperton Robin
son Crusoe, is not a good one and the
water is full of sharks When the wind
blows on shore IL is almost impossible for
vessels moorings to hold her. The Viking
went away with about fifty tons short Of
what she ought to have taken, but that was
the fault Of the captain. He got scared ana

the Nolant was there that there was no use

ashore the man eaters jump out Of the
water and snap at a man.
