Notes from Many Sources.

Separate the young roosters from
The hens.
You cannot keep the poultry quar-
ters too clean.
If possible, feed pigs of different
ages separately.
It's a difficult matter to feed too
much succulent food to stock.
When fowls are deprived of green
food the yolks of their eggs are a
very pale yellow.
Now is the time to carefully watch
and tend the poultry intended for the
Thanksgiving market.
You can never have a good dairy
herd unless you have an occasional
wedding out of the poorer cows.
If there was more attention paid to
the swill barrel there would be less
attention paid to docJoring hogs.
See that wormy fruits are picked
up and destroyed. Sheep and pigs will
tend to this work and DO it very cheap
ly.
Any farmer who persists in pro-
NuN4AS lhiAiS tioC 10 ACS tp W
the standard must expect to see hard
times.
Give the hogs only the amount of
food that they can eat up clean.
Any more than this is sure to be
wasted.
When horse is off his feed" bran
mashes with a litt.le careful nursing
will generally bring the animal
around.
Don't let the fowls begin to roost
on fence tops and in trees. Many
cases of roup have their beginning
in this way.
Don't let your hunting dogs train
in the poultry yard. Hens are afraid
of dogs, and a bad scare will do much
to stop laying.
The Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes
and Langshans make the best winter
layers. Some strains of the Light
Brahmas are good also.
Live stock may now be watched
ana cared for to advantage. Be sure
you have all animals in good shape
to go through the winter.
See that the roof cn poultry house
is perfectly tight and the floor is dry.
Fowls will not be healthy if COM
PEELED to live in damp houses.
If possible, keep all male fowls in
a separate yard. They will be less
likely to fight and injure themselves,
and the whole flock will do better.
First make a few hens pay you a
profit, then start the large flock.
Many a man has made his hens I'M
profitable oy starting on too large
scale.
Don't let the hens go into winter
quarters covered with mites. You will
not notice them so much in cold
weather, but they hurt the fowls
worse
What is wanted by the mutton con-
sumer is a lean, tender and juicy
meat. Sheep raisers should breed and
feed so as to furnish meat of this
character
One part of corn meal ground as
finely as possible, one part of bran
ground with the corn. and one part
of cottonseed meal makes an excel
lent mixture for lambs.
Treat fowls kindly, and teach them
to regard you as their friend If any
are to be caught, don't chase them,
but go to the house at night and lift
them gently from the roost.

WAS HIS OWN CABIN.
Saltwater Rancher Tried and Acquitted on
Charge Of Malicious Mischief.

The hearing of John Morton, "A Still
E.ster rancher, who was arrested several
weeks ago on complaint of his father-in-
law, w. I'll. Ballinger, on a charge of
malicious mischief occurred last Friday
before Justice Hawthorne. and resulted
in Morton being discharged.
The defendant testified that he was in
possession of the cabin and ranch upon
which his father-in-law was living and
that he served notice upon Ballinger to
quit the premises. Morton produced a
bill of sale to show that he had bought
the cabin and had moved it to the
premises and testified that he had per
mitted his father-in-law to live in the
same, but had never given him posses
sion Of it. Morton claimed that in the
absence of Ballinger he went to the
cabin and removed the household effects,
as he desired to move the cabin from the
premises. He claimed he did not molest
thing, even some eggs which were in
the place being removed to place Of
safety without breaking. A humorous
bit Of testimony was given by Morton to
the effect that in removing the things
from the cabin he took down some heavy
timbers which had been placed in sup
port Of a bed occupied by his sister-in in
law, who was SO t1eshy a common bed
would not support her.
The case was hotly contested by &. w.
Pierson for the complainant and Fox &
Fox for the defendant.

TEACHERS MAY WAIT FOR PAY.
School Fund Running Low as Result Of Hold.
ing Up Of Fine Money.

At meeting of the school board held
Monday evening resolution was passed
thanking those who appeared recently
in the play s'Tulu," the proceeds from
which went into fund which bought
an Encyclopedia Brittanica for the
school. Another resolution was passed
thanking United States Senator Clark
for two maps and some United States
statistical reports recently sent the pub
lie library. J. f. Kelley was rehired as
ianitor of the two school buildings and
will be given S. raise per month next
year if there is money enough in the
school treasury to do so. There was
some discussion as to whether the dis
trict will have sufficient funds to pay
the teachers to the end Of the school
year. 1t is evident that there will be
lacking about two weeks salaries, and
vouchers for that period of service will
probably have to await payment until
next year. The district would have
enough funds to pay the full amount if
the fine money now accruing was paid,
but in some instances, notably the Les
man case, where $500 fine was made in
Justice court, the cases are pending trial
in district court on appeal.

CUT A PECULIAR CAPER.
Unknown Man Attacks Carpenter and Tries
to Stab Him,

T.J. Dunnigan, local carpenter, came
within an ace Of being stabbed by some
unknown assailant last Sunday night, a
half block from the business section of
the city. He exhibits three cuts in his
coat, one in the front Of it. and two along
the sleeve, in substantiation of his state
ment that he was attacked by man
with knife and he thinks it was only
because the man saw that he had at
tackled the wrong person that he finally
left without accomplishing his purpose.
Dunnigan had been to a down town
drug store for some medicine for his
wife about 10 o'clock in the evening and
was returning home by the alley, in the
rear of Billings avenue. As he emerged
from back of the stores, in rear of the
Carbon County bank, Dunnigan says a
man stepped out from behind coal
shed and with the remark, "you're the
I'm AFTER" made a lunge
at him. Dunnigan says the knife made
the two rents in his coat sleeve at that
time, but that as the fellow went past
him with the force of the blow he was
able to strike his assailant back of the
ear telling him to the ground. AS he
fell Dunnigan says he saw that he had a
knife in his hand and so he (Dunnigan)
picked up a rock and threw it at his
adyersary's head, but missed him. Dun
nigan says the fellow came at him sec
ond time, when he succeeded in landing
with good poke in his assailant's short
ribs and that after that either because
Of the warm reception he had received
| or because tho fellow saw that Dunnigan
Was not the man he was after, the fellow

YOUTHFUL BURGLARS.
Confectionery Store Entered and
Considerable Plunder Secured.

Red Lodge seems to have an organized
band of burglars whose long suit is for
7sWcetmeats. A short time ago Clements
confectionery store was broken into and
several boxes Of candy taken. Last Fri
day night another attempt was made to
enter the same place OF business and not
gaining entrance, the thieves went to r.
s. Richardson's store where they forced
open q back door with a pick and got
away with stuff to the value Of about
$40.
In the morning Mr.. Richardson found
his place Of business in state of con
fusion. The thieves were not content
with their booty and with throwing
things about the store, but committed a
nuisance as we'll.
AT Clements the fellows jumped over
a back fence. They whitfield away at
the back door casing for awhile, but
evidently grew tired with their progress
and went On UP to Richardson's, where
better success awaited them.
The same night burglars entered Dunn
4 Vaughn's livery stable through the
office door. which was left unlocked.
Two fur coats, one belonging to Mr..
Vaughn and the other to Mr.. Dunn,
were taken from the Office, but We're
dropped On the weighing scales just out
side the door. The hostler heard a
wagon drive up and on looking out from
up stairs saw the outfit making tracks
up the road 1t is supposed that the
burglars were alarmed by the opening Of
the window and dropped the coats in
their hurry to get away.

was not one where one would lie in wait
for him, as it was not a way he was
accustomed to take.

ROW AMONG RANcHERS.
Trouble Over Ditch Matters Leads to Scrap
and Two Arrests.

AS a result of d feud between neigh
bors w. f. Burlington was bound over to
the district court at Bridger last Tues
day on a charge OF assault in the second
degree up G. II. Pedersen, while j. Q.
Burlington was upon the same day fined
$50 and sentenced to sixty days in Jail
for malicious mischief in blowing in a
ditch which extends across the Pedersen
ranch.
The feud between the Buffingtons and
Petersen is Of long standing. Their
ranches adjoin at the mouth of Dry
creek, three or four miles above Bridger.
A ditch whieh goes through the Buffing-
ton ranch and that Of Petersen seems to
be the bone Of contention. Pedersen
claims the ditch was constructed good
many years before the Buffingtons set
tied upon their land. This spring Peder-
sen set out to clean the ditch on the
Burlington ranch. On the 7th inst. w.
X. Burlington appeared and ordered
Petersen out Of the ditch, striking him
i'll the face and pulling u gun on him.
The claim of the defense, at the hearing
held before Justice Stone, was that Buf-
tington had put on the six shooter to kiln
coyotes and that the row with his neigh
bor came up while he was thus armed.
Pcdersen showed that he himself was
unarmed and that he had a right in the
ditch ut the time Burlington drew down
on him.
close up the ditch in question by plow-
ing it up and for this he was fined and
sentenced to Jail. He appealed from the
decision Of Justice Stone and the case
will be heard in the district court.
