THE VALIANT BIGHORN,
Killing One Ram Enough to Make a
SpOrtsman's Reputation.

Killing One Ram Enough to Make n
SpOrtsman's Reputation.
At last we have reached that gallant
fellow the mountain sheep or bighorn.
A true cliff-dweller is he. Born under
the shelving rocks of a beetling cliff,
sometimes actually Graded in the
snow, and reared in the stormy atmos-
phere of high attitudes, he is a tyui-
cal m%ountaineer. Wherever you find
him at home, depend upon it that you
will also find the finest scenery of the
district.
This animal loves a bird's-eye view
Of a mountain landscape as well as
does any member of the geological
survey. A steep descent, with a mar
row, level valley and a thread-like
river spread like a relief map 5000
feet before him, is his delight. In
former times he was venturesOme,
and often wandered miles away from
his mountain home to explore tempt
ing tracts of bad lands; and, being
unmOleSted, he sometimes took up a
permanent residence in such places.
But the v~enturesome inhabitants of
low, isolated mountains and shelter
less bad lands have paid with their
lives for their pioneering, and now a
mountain sheep is rarely found else
where than amid mountains worthy
of the name.
Kill one fine old mountain ram by
your w efforts in climbing and stalk
ing, and W. will call you a sportsman,
with a capital s, provided you save
his head for mounting, and his flesh
for the platter. But no ewes, min
you. Ewes and lambs count against
you rather than to your credit. Can l
ever forget how | once travelled all
the way from Washington to Wyom-
ing, killed just one superb mountain
ram amid grand scenery, preserved
him, carried his Saddle to Washing
ton and called my pleasure trip a COM
plete success? Hardly. Even the rec
objection of it is worth foul times the
money it cost.
That particular mountain sheep was
4 feet 3 inches in height at the Shout
ders. He was 4 feet 10 inches in
length of head and body, and his girth
was 3 feet 8 inches. He leaped off a
low ridge of bare rock, fell dead on a
foot of snow in the head of a rock
walled gulch. and oh! boys. how fine
he was! Up III the mountain park he
had been paving through the snow to
get at the spears of dry grass that
were there obtainable. And in spite
of the difficulty of the process, and the
pitiful scantiness of the grazing, l
was ~astonished beyond measure at
finding that his stomach contained
fully half a bushel Of that same grass.
He was not only in good flesh but pos
itively fat; and from the fact that to
save our lives Fleming the packer,
and I, both muscular men, could not
lift him upon a mule to carry him to
u camp, and for other reasons l am
certain that he weighed at least 300
pounds.-St. Nicholas.

quainted with poverty, gave of their
few copper coins to her, who sat wall
Ing among the ruins of her wares.
They helped her to pick up such of
casts as were not ~irremediably broken,
and to replace them on the, tray.
This time Broughton did not stay to
act as CONSIDER. The aggressor had
walked off rapidly, ard the reporter
followed him. After five minutes
chase. they turned into an unspeak-
ably dirty alley, where the Italian en-
tered a doorway, without noticing
that any n pursued him. Broughton,
having made sure that he should rec
ogniZe the house again, hastened to the
nearest police station and told the
story. "She was a quiet, decent little
body" he said to the officer. THAT
| great hulking brute struck her on
purpose the second time, eve admit
ting that the first time might have
been by accident"
Two policemen were detailed to ac-
company Mr.. Broughton, who was
known to the chief of the station, and
he led them straight to the door where
the Italian had entered. UP the dark
and broken stairs they climbed.
Broughton shrunk from contact with
| the Shiny walls; it seemed to him that
evil odOrs were ~depositing themselves
there in a %pestilential fungus growth.
At last they emerged upon a landing.
A child leaned over the baluster Of thu
story above. Broughton tossed him a
nickel.
my little man, is there an Italian
living in this house?'
The child picked up the coin and
stared in silence.
Say, kid, is dere a dago here!'
one of the policeT en- translated.
The boy pointed with a thumb to a
door at the left Of the landing where
the three men stood. Broughton felt
the thrill of the righteous avenger.
The malicious brute who had twice
destroyed the wares of the poor little
image vendor would soon be sent to
the Island. And a good radiance for
the community. One of the police
opened the door and they entered

AN IDEAL FARM,
Fourteen Varieties Of Crops I'm the
Place of Wheat.

General Freight Agent Moore, Of the
Northern Pacific, has been searching many
years for an ideal Western farm. and
thinks he has found It. He has made a
deep study of the diversified farming ques-
ton, and his ideal farm Is cultivated on Inc
broadcast diversified plan. 1t belongs to
George M. Bennett of Westport, Mimi, on
the Little Falls & Dakota branch Of the
Northern Pacific. Mr.. Moore has recently
sent letters to various prominent farmers
on the line. asking them to what extent
their crops and products are diversified.
What the Ideal farm, Ideally diversified,
really is can be best learned by reading Mr..
Benefits reply, which Is as follows:
Answering your inquiry as to what l am
doing by way of diversifying my crops on
Westport farm, l wish to say: In the place
of $50 acres l usually sowed wheat previ-
GUS to my change in the system, I have for
the present years crop as follows: Wheat,
rs acres; oats, SO acres; barley, 60 acres;
fax, 70 acres; corn, 70 acres; ckwheat
As acres; millet, 45 acres; rye, 35 acres;
peas, 30 acres; potatoes, 35 acres; beans, "
acres; onions, 2 acres; mangel, wurzel,
beets, etc, 3 acres; sweet corn. l acre;
total, 619 acres; balance to hay.
Il supplement this cropping with hogs.
TIL plan Is to market the most saleable
products and make pork from the poorer
and less saleable stuff. The hog, II he has
proper care and attention., plays a very i'm
portant part in diversied farming, and 1t
is a great mistake to attempt to get along
without him. All of the crops. except
onions, named in this list can be used to
advantage in hog raising. 1t is an error to
claim corn as the king of hog food. II
space permitted l would demonstrate this
assertion. We have all the clements re-
quired for successful hog raising, and I
hope to soc our farmers give serious and
practical attention to the subject"
Editorial Note-Having called the atten-
tion of Gen. Flower, president of the st.
Paul Union Stock Yards company (whO Is
recognized authority on proper hog feed
Ing, to the foregoing, he remarked: "Mr.
Benefits position is correct, that while
corn is excellent hog food, it will not pro-
duce as good meat as a mixed ground ra-
ton of small grains, especially wheat, bar
ley and oats, and that more profitable re-
suits were attainable from the latter.

AN ~ICONOCLAST.
BY EIixa PuIlen.

Young Mr.. Broughton was, unawares
and gradually, in process of evolution
from the journalist to the newspaper
man. 1t took all sorts of rubs and
surprises and facers and disillusions to
form him. That morning he was hur-
rying through Printing House Square
on an assignment when he noticed be-
fore him d woman carrying OH her
head a tray of plaster images, and
walking with the stately gait and evea
poise of the South italian. She was
small, brown; she wore a gown of
blue cotton, q wooden shawl, plaided
in olive and yellow, and a red kerchief
on her head. These rglaring colors,

not only the expression OF the former, but
they have power to react upon the soul and

there Is a foul spot on his mind, but by the
utterance of that word he extends the spot, i'm

HOW TO PAY RENT.

ltlacksnith was one day complaining to
IS Iron merchant that such was the scarcity
9, money he could not possibly pay his rent.
ne merchant asked him how much whisky
o. beer was used IN his family in the course
smith told him, whereupon the merchant
took out pencil and paper and made calcu-
iation, and showed the blacksmith that the
cost OF drink amounted to considerably more
In the year than his house rent.
The calculation so astonished the blaak-
smith that he determined from that day
neither to buy nor TO drink Intoxicating
liquors OF any kind. In the course OF the
year following he not only paid his rent and
the iron merchant too, but had enough to
spare for new suit Of clothes.
