Handling Cattle Mt Evarts for the
Range.

Handling Cattle Mt Evarts for N
Range.
Traffic In live stock at Evarts is as
Stunning very large proportions, and the
new town is fast becoming n OF the
most noted stock-shipping stations In
the whole United States. Shipments
of young cattle from Texas for one
firm, the 81" ranch, which is tributary
to Evarts. aggregates about 5000 head.
Part OF this shipment has arrived, and
another train load will follow immedi-
ateiy. The remainder will reach Ev-
arts very soon. II. r. Drum, who has
charge OF the work of constructing and
improving the railway company's ship
ping facilities at Evarts, is home for a
short time. He says that the number
Of cattle passing through from the
ranges west Of the river is already very
large.
The RAILROAD company does very
thing in its power to facilitate the work
Of handling the cattle, and many novel
devices are employed to save time and
labor. After the young cattle have
been unloaded from the cars they are
driven along a chute r fourteen inches n
width at the bottom. When they reach
a certain point. a man nanipulates a
lever, which for an instant holds the
animals fast between the walls of the
chute and a movable partition. This
partition is fitted with a small opening,
and the lever is so manipulated that the
part OF the animal on which 1t Is de-
sired to affix the owners brand is ex-
posed to this opening. The hot iron is
thrust through, and in the fraction of a
second the animal Is released, smoking
from the brand, and the rext one is
nipped. The rapidity with which this
work Is performed may be judged
from h fact that 1900 cattle were
branded in seven hours one day recent
ly, and Mr.. Drum says he believes this
breaks the record.
After being released from the brand
'ng iron the animal is next given a
ahemically-prepared bath, for the erad-
ication OF disease, and as a preventive
as well. This is lone in a very simple
manner. and quickly, too.

Two Things You Can't DO.

Wonderful as is the human body IN its
mechanism and its adaptability TO lts
surroundings. there are some very SIM
pie things that 1t cannot do. For ex-
ample. a man cannot rise from q chair
without bending forward or putting his
feet under the chair or on each side OF
it. Another impossible thing Is Tor a
man who is closely b~lindfolded to stand
without support OF any kind for hve
minutes at a stretch without moving
his feet. II he does not move his feet
at all he will be pretty sure to toppie
over in a minute or two. A blind man,
however, can do 1t, because he is used
to doing without his eyes.-Philadelphia

der. Heavy rains have softened the
fields and made the roads very muddy,
but the work goes on without Interrupt

diversity of weather will make the
results to be attained at the camp more
v1uable. The engineer battalion has
been at work selecting places for the
pOntoon bridges across the rivers. They
also are mixing reconnaissance of the
places on the reservation where the at
tacks and defenses are to be made.
About hundred tents have been pitch

An Embarrassing Experience.

IL. a.
Although Miss Kitty Lotus. the act
ress. is one of the most enthusiastic OF
motorists. on as well as on the stage,
horses as means of holiday or sporting
locomotion have in her time appealed to
her. 1t was her custom not so very long
ago when touring to hire some sort of
a saddle horse in every town; and in
one place her experience in this way
was of notable kind. She was riding
with a gentleman in Dublin when she
discovered that the horses they had
hired were such great friends that they
refused to work apart and logged along
side by side as If in double harness.
When they reached Phoenix park the
gentleman managed, by the exercise of
q few persuasive actions which have
long been associated with the etchics
of equestrianism, to hustle the quad
ruped he was riding into a fairly decent
canter: but Miss Lotus horse. which
was not carrying comradeship to the
absurd length of cantering when 1t
wanted to trot. looked out for another
horse that was going comfortably along
and went and trotted beside. that To
Miss Lotus confusion. the saddle Of
her horses new acquaintance was oc-
cupied by a young gentleman who was
an entire stranger to her. They logged
along in silence for some minutes. he
looking utterly bewildered over the
strange business and she feeling hope
lssly at 4 loss to know what to say.
Naturally as a young woman shs didn't
amount to the admission that the fault
was her own: and naturally as young
man he didn't care straw whose fault
it was SO long as Miss LOTUS rode be-
side him. At last Miss LOTUS said, In a
tone which would have conveyed to a
third party the impression that the
strangers horse had followed hers:
Don't you think you had better tie
your horse to tree and walk mine
away for met" The stranger dismount-
ed, fastened up his horse, led the act
ress' affectionate animal about an
eighth of a mile onward and went back.
But in the exercise of its eccentric tenn
per Miss LOTUS horse had not
knocked OF" for the day. Finding
itself deserted by its new friend, 1t went
in rapid search Of the horse it had come
out with. and went about this move In
such q reckless manner that its unfor-
tunate rider was soon hit across the
face with the branch OF tree and
knocked heavily to the ground. It may
be that all this accounts for Miss Kitty
LOTUS having taken to motoring so
keenlv.
