Buffalo Bill tells a pleasiet tale q,

ham," and riding out Of CAM at the
alarm Of herd of buffalo. Itwas at
a time when he ard his comradts Were
short OF meat. and consequently, long.
ing for buffalo steak. He SAYS;
While | was riding toward theb buff
faloes, saw five hOrsemen from the
fort. who were evidently going out Tor
chase They proved to be newly ,r-
rived officers, captain and his lieu
tenants.
Hello, my friendr' sang out the cap
tain, Il see you are after the same
game that we are"
Yes, sir" said /.
They scanned my cheap outfit very
closely. and as my horse looked like a
work-horse, and had on only a blind
bride, they evidently considered me a
green hand at hunting.
do you expect to catch those buff
falOes on that Gothic steed?' laughed
the captain.
Il hope so, by pushing hard enough
on the reins," was my reply.
You'll never catch them In the world,
my fine fellow" said he. 1T takes a
fast horse 10 do that"
Does it," asked |, as IL didn't
know.
''Yes, but come along with us, for we
are going TO kill them more for pleas
ure than anything else. All we want
are the tongues and a piece of tender
loin, and you may have all that is left"
much obliged to you, captain" said
l. 'I'll follow you.'
There were eleven bufalOes In the
herd, and they were not more than a
mile ahead. | saw they were making
toward the creek for water, and
started up that way TO head them off,
while the officers came up In the rear,
and gave chase. The animals came
rushing past me, not hundred yards
distant, with the officers three hundred
yards In the rear.
pulled the blind bride off my horse,
and he, trained hunter, knew exactly
what to do. He started at the top of
his speed, and brought me alongside the
rear buffalo. | raised my gun, fired,
and killed the animal at the first shot.
My horse then carried me alonslde the
hext one, and dropped him at the next
fire.
Thus | killed the eleven buffaloes
with twelve shots. and as the last anil
NAL dropped, my drose stopped. Re-
member had been riding him without
bride, reins or saddle; but / jumped
to the ground knowing he would not
leave me. The astonished officers were
just riding up.
Now, gentlemen" said 1, "allow me
to present you with all the tongues and
tenderloins you want"
WELL" said the captain, 81 never
saw the like before. Who under the
sun are you, anyhow"
"Aly name is Cody"
THAT horse of yours has running
points,
"Yes, sir: he has not only the points,
but he knows how to use them"

The "beer-house" was a regular In.
stitution in Babylonia in very early
times. In hymn which is considered
to be as old as b. G. 1000 we read the
complaint OF people to the god who
negiects them-"Thou CONTEST not near
our sheep-folds or our oxen. near onr

Of Assarbanipal, large quantities were
given away on occasions of rejoicing.

We copy the above because it is good

Of this country as Of Canada. We think
however. that it is probable that the
statement that laborers will not be allow-

Is not true and; it is certainly an error as
to. laborers coming. here. There is MOTH
ing to hinder laborers coming to this
country from anywhere in search Of em-
ploynlent, but they must not enter into
contract with any person to work on this

criminal offense for any person in this

try to come here to work. As matter
Of fact a large number of Manitobans do

that the fash Of light il made in an

nection between the spiracles and

,flnd that the little creature renders the

nous by forcing air upon them. The cells

Sl01klng Sof milk. there afe many other
changes which i1,ay take place as the

called fesnentations, because they are
similar to tie. fefmenting Of cider to vine

many changes due to other micro organ
isms or ferments. besides bacteria; and

the changes which occur In milk, such Is
Icurdling. souring, and putrefaction, most

great importance Of these fermenta-
tions Of milk is being realized. II Is on
lyby proper control Of them that good
butter or cheese can be made. Il is inn
lpoftant that they should take place; but
II e equally imp ortant that they should
not Be allowed to get the upper hand.
: Bacteria proper, which have
much % do with milk and cream, are
found in Immense numbers everywhere,
and play an important part in nature.
They are 10 exhemelyminute. Ia shape
they show three chief varieties, which
may Be compared. respectively, to q lead
pencil bacillus, } a ball (coccus,) and q
corkscrew (spirillum.) With the highest
powers ofthe microscope they appear as
scarcely more than simple dots and lines.
They are to be classed with plants rather
than animals, in spite Of the fact that
many Of them are endowed with motion.
: Another fact ofimport-
ance which has been emphasized is the
value Of cooling the milk as thoroughly
as possible as soon as MIXED. When
drawn from the COW, milk is. at high
temperature. and, indeed, at just the tenn
peratnre at which the majority of bac-
terra will grow the most rapidly. Under
the influence Of the atmospheric tempera-
ture. especially in the summer, the milk
will become eoot very slowly, but never
becomes cooler than the air. The bac-
terra which have gotten into the milk will
therefore have the very best opportunity
for rapid ltiplication and the milk will
sour very rapidly. II, however, the milk

NEW GOVERNMENT or11onRs

SSD00oONS
From the Ensrson Journal.
EmerSon and Gretna have each an
other government official. Their duty is
to prevent hboring men coming across
the line and finding employment on this
side. Il has too long been a habit
amongst Canadians to be too friendly
to the Americans in the letting of con-
tracts. Even the governments have been
to blame often in this respect. Large
building contracts, railway deals, have
sometimes been given to American firms
for the purpose Of the smallest economy.
But now the Government sees not only
its own duty in the natter Canadians
first-but it also realizes the importance
Of giving Canadian laboring men the
preference in filling their positions. The
amount that is saved by contract to an
American, though perhaps saved to the
individual letting the contract, is not saw
ed to the country. The country is poor
er for every such bargain. The money
which is paid to an American contractor
IS invested in the United States. Cana-
da as 9 country is lpoorer to the extent
|of the contract, instead Of being richer
10 the extent Of the few dollars saved be-
tween the price Of the contracts.
This same principle is becoming more
and more realized by individuals in our
villages and country places. They are
beginning to wake up to the fact that
money sent to far off town or city,
though saving 9 few cents or dollars to
them, is strong factor in producing dull
times in our own midst. The money is
in circulation elsewhere; people are fore
ed TO buy on credit, and hard times and
failure often follow. Whereas If the
money was invested here, ii would still be
in circulation amongst them and the pro-
FITS arising from its investment would be
partly theirs; theirs to q much greater ex-
tent than the paltry saving resulting from
sending II away.
8 Canadians are often q little slower in
sizing up these advantages than the AM
ericans, but we are progressing more
rapidly now and beginning TO see these
things when they are q little further off
than We used 70. II, is several years
since the American Government placed

to benefit manufacturers, but to furnish

vhile not always perhaps with the best
ofjudgment yet no person outside Of
Bismarck could see that Mr. Mofat
fought with any especial venom or vi
ciousness. In fact there are many local
papers who habihlally use much more
intemperate and: abusive language than
the Settler in reference to others.
It looks as though certain class Of
people are getting desperate. At first
the prohibition law affected only parts Of
the Red River Valley. It IS gradually
and certainly spreading. jamestown,
Wahpeton, Devils Lake and Minot are
all feeling its pressure to greater or less
degree. It is certain that; only by the
most strenuous. questionable, and prob
ably illegal methods did the wide-open
class carry the election in Bismarck last
fall; and il IS this pressure, political and
social, that makes such a desperate and
despicable eruption as the destruction Of
the Settlers Office. Time was when they
could laugh at the utterances Of the Sett-
Ter. Now, they must destroy it or be

A LARGE STOCK OF WHEAT.-Mr.
M. W. Jones brought into our Of
fee on Monday q bunch of wheat
containing sixty stalks grown from
one grain. He had heard that a
grain OF wheat would produce this
number OF stalks, but determined to
make q practical test of it himself.
He planted one grain, cultivated the
growing product with a hoe, and the
result is sixty stalks containing as
many heads that will probably aver
age 25 grains to the head. He pull
ed the growth before it matured, be-
cause the sparrows had commenced
to eat the grains. OF course, Mr..
