Making Final Survey For Extension
to ThermopoIis.
From Wednesdays Daily.
A party of B. & M. surveyors IT.
rived here on Tuesdays train and left
this morning for Thermopolis to run
the final survey for the B. & M. ex-
tension in Big Horn county, says the
Garland Guard. 1t is learned that
they have instructions to survey in
the canyon west of Thermopolis and
they may survey both ways from that
point, i. e., north and south, presum-
ably to head off the Northwestern.
1t has long been known that as the
Northwestern became active in it's
northern extension, the Burlington
would get busy Immediately on its ex-
tension.
Developments will be watched by
the people of Garland and vicinity, as
it is practically an assured fact that
the road will be built from Garland
south to Germania and on to within a
short distance of Basin, thence to
Thermopolis and through the Wind
River reservation to Guernsey to con-
meet with the B. q M. at that point.
Work will be rushed vigorously.

New York, Dec. 27.-Rxin and sleet,
following the heavy ~snowstorm, have
played havoc with the transportation
facilities and the telegraph service.
Falling on top of the s~now-covered
pavements and sidewalks the rain has
formed a hard crust of ice and New
York today was like a great skating
pond. The rails of the surface cars
end elevated tracks were so slippery
that no effort was made to keep any
thing like schedule time.

GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
No War Between Cattle and Sheepmer
in Carbon County.


From Wednesdays Daily.
G. B. Clarke, the sheepman of the
Clark's Fork section in Carbon county,
who was reported a few days ago as
having lost 500 head of sheep through
depredations committed by cattle
owners in that vicinity, was in town
today. To The Gazette he stated that
the telegraphic report sent out from
Bridger to the state papers was great
ly exaggerated.
Mr.. Clarke says that the most
friendly feeling exists between the
cattle and sheep owners in his local
ity. While he lost a few head OF
sheep, their death vas caused by mis-
chievous boys, who ran his herder
out of camp and then did some dam
age to his property. The act is in no
way endorsed by men ranging cattle
in that region and Mr.. Clarke says
that an effort will be made to cause
the arrest of several young hodlums
held responsible for the deed.

Kansas City, Dec. PA portion OF
the southwest today was in the grasp
of a genuine blizzard, the first severe
cold weather of the winter. 1t ex-
tended through Missouri into Nebras-
ka and Iowa, over the whole of Kan

Territory. Snow fell to a depth OF
nearly a foot, and, driven by a high
wind, drifted badly. Street car traffic
in Kansas City was demoraliZed, while
railway trains in every direction were
delayed and some stalled.

much diversity Many of the bodiees
are recognizable adaptations of the Boz
lero, and more are short fitted coats. The
three-quarter coat is a bygone so far as
the preparation of new gowns is con-
oerned. Blouses are being made of dot
ted velvets, and are finished prettily,
though without great elaboration with
lace, which comes in yoke and appliques,
or in the latter only.
The actual yokes or the yoke effects
of new bodices are of much depth, ex-
tending well out on the arms. At times
they are equally deep in front, but more.
often the shoulder extension goes below
the rest. Bertha omamentation often
outlines these yokes, and there is much
use, too, of band trimming for this pur-
pose. The bands are wide and may fol-
low the yoke faithfully. or may turn
away to edge the fronts. The newer
models of bodices blouse in front, but
not a great deal, and the days of the
pouch front seem a long ways behind.
The number of finely fitted backs has in
creased, too. Basques of long ago are
returning. They are snug below lhe
waist and are supplied with side pieces.
Such suggestions of spring styles as are
reasonably positive give abundant hint
Of general return to bolero jacket fash

jacket is subjected to the freest kind
of modification and adaptation.

food, they are more likely 10 have Wig
orous health and strong constitutions
ttan are their city cousins. Brought
into constant contact with nature, they
absorb a great deal of useful knowl-
edge, and acquire habits of observa-
ton. Then, too, the regular farm
work, the 'chores" and numberless 9TH
er little things keep them well occupied
and enable them to feel that they are
earning their way, thus giving to them
sense of independence and eultivat-
ing a spirit OF self-reliance and manli-
ness. The performance of a deal of
drudgery is an indispensable prepare
ton for all real success in life, what
ever the occupation. A boy who is
afraid of work or of soiling his hands
need not expect to accomplish much
in the world. Country boys have their
full share of fun, but there are many
duties on a farm which
farmers boyH learn to accept as
matter of course. Edward Eggleston,

Winter Fruit Tree pruninp.

While the early spriag pruning and
the summer pinching back of the small
shoots covers the main pruning of the
fruit trees, much good work may be
done during the open days of winter
which will, at least, save time in the
spring. Broken limbs may be removed
and many OF the inside limbs which are
overlapping the fruiting twigs can be
cut off during the winter as well as in
the spring The work of pruning should
always be done with a saw on limbs
too large to cut with a sharp knife; in
pruning saw from the under side of the
limb first, saving up a quarter or n
half through and finishing from the
top. This will result in a clean cut and
there will be no splintering, as would
be the case if a heavy limb was cut
through from the top. In the winter
pruning of orchards keep your eyes
open and note the condition of the tree,
so that at the proper time any remedy
for any trouble found may be applied.

ands of farmers have maze good liv-
ing and laid some profit by from their
corn lands.
1t is perfectly true that the man
with a small farm, devoted exclusively
to corn raising, can get only very
precarious living out of corn when the
price is under % cents on the farm.
But even the small farmer can assure
himself of a substantial surplus with
the prospect of substantial surplus,
some years, if he deN otes part of his
land to raising the products which
ne needs for his family, and raises
corn, well cultivated and carefully
cared for on the rest of It.
1t must not be forgotten that the
present low price of corn is due to two
years of very extraordinary yields, and
though this years crop is moderate,
by comparison with those years. the
surplus in the country, added to what
was produced this year, makes the sup
ply in the country about as large as
1t was ever known to be, and the cost
of production of the corn which most
farmers have on hand at the present
time, must be figured on the basis of
large yields, so that, even at present
low prices, the great bulk of the corn
in the country represents a good deal
more than what 1t has cost the farmer
TO produce it

Indi.criminate Feeding.

On some farms all kinds of poultry
are fed together, old and young, and
geese, ducks, turkeys and chickens
There are always domineering indi-
viduals in all barnyards, hence it will
be an advantage to separate the older
from the younger stock when feeding.
The natural consequence Of promiscu-
Gus commingling of fowls is that the
largest and strongest take their choice
and leave the refuse to be eaten by the
weaker, whereas the best should be
given to the poorest in order to help
them to a condition of thrift and
growth. 1t is also more economical TO
make some distinction when feeding,
especially when a profit is desired.

Grooming Is Valuable.


The proper and frequent grooming OF
work horses Is too little done by farm
ers who do not appreciate the impor-
lance OF the work 1t may appeal to
you when we assert, without fear of
contradiction, that a well-groomed
horse works better and requires less
food than horse kept in filthy con
dition. Proper grooming means proper
circulation of the blood and opens the
pores of the skin. Where circulation
has become impeded, and the pores of
the skin are blocked up with the filth,
the animal Is cut Of sorts and cannot
work with normal yigor, nor can 1t
derive the due amount of nutriment
from its food; hence 1t is tempted to
eat more thar other horses.

Ha1f-snIinu the sIed.

Soles made of poles are almost a
thing of the past since the sawed ones
have come into use. There are still
some who do not use the sawed soles
because of not knowing how to put
them on, after they have become dry.
without breaking or splitting them.
The illustration shows how the trick
is done. A teakettle full of boiling
water, poured on very gradually while
the sole is being sprung, is all that is
necessary in almost every instance.
The stream should be no larger than
a lead pencil, and poured on contin-
ually. Any one who has never tried
this method will be surprised how
