place, they came upon the remains of a
dead man who is supposed to be Joel
walker, who had a homestead near that
place, and who has been living alone for
some time, but had not been seen by any
one for over a week. His face was SO
mutilated by buzZards that his features
were not recognizable. His head had been
crushed with an ak or heavy club. and
his neck was unjointed, and his under Jaw
was dislocated Some things found in his

Walker. The hunters covered the body up
as best they could and went to the camp
of Holland & Byrd, where they found
walkers horse, gun. saddle, shoes,

1t is a we'll known fact that at certain
times of the year Link river, a stream
mile and quarter long, which con-
meets the great water systems above and
below this point, becomes almost dry.
This state of affairs, however lasts, as
a rule, but few hours, during which
time people have been known to walk
across the river, 800 feet wide. without
getting their feet wet. The bottom of
the river has been dug out in many places
by the action of the water, forming large
pot holes. and when the river becomes
dry these holes are filled with trout,
which are left stranded. At such times
II is common occurrence to see men and
boys knocking the fish on the head with
clubs, and in this way they secure many
a good meal.
There are many traditions regarding
this phenomenon among the Indians here,
but the real cause of the low water in the
river is the action of the wind. The
course of the stream is southeast, and the
high winds which prevail in the spring
and fall are from the south, and blow
up the river. The outlet from the upper
lake being small, the force of the wind
Keeps the water back in the big lake,
causing the river to become very low.

fine. a worker can visit from 40 to
so flowers in six to ten trips and
collect a grain of nectar. II 1t visits
200 or 400 flowers, it will gather i've
grains. Uuder favorable circumstances,
it will take a fortnight to obtain
IS grains. Itwould, therefore. take sew
eral years to manufacture pound OF
honey. which will fill about 5000 cells.

bees, half of which prepare the honey.
the other half attending to the wants OF

locality must be favorable for the prep
aration of the honey. and the pants
that produce the most nectar must
flourish near the hive. n hive lnhaolteo

An Old Art Revived.

beautiful as good miniatures. When
we consider that all these fine old

DRAFT-HORSE BREEDING.
A Revival Which Means Prosperity
Throughout the West.

Throughout the West.
The revival of draft-horsc breeding
in the horse-breeding states, after this
unprecedented decline in breeding fo-
three years, is simply the law of supply
and demand. The revival of business
and commercial Industries calls for
more big draft horses, while the sup
ply of good horses is far short of the
demand, and must be until we can pro-
duce a new supply and mature them
for the markets. Prices meanwhile
must advance and the weights increase
to 1900 and 1000 pounds, while in 1892 Il
1,OOO-pound horse was good draft
horse. Farmers have about concluded
that they will stick to the farm, and IL
they farm draft horses are the most
substantial, reliable and profitable
branch of stock breeding.
