thrown take the rope that is under

gle and pass it through the ring OF
the halter and back under the sur
cingle again, and thus you have the
rope in a position to bring his head
over his shoulder. Make him put his
head on the ground, and if he makes
any attempt to get up pull his head
up immediately, which will prevent
him from rising. This will give him
thoroughly to understand tina you are
master. Once a horse realizes your
power over him he will do almost any
thing a horse can do.

Sheep Need Exercise.

Sheep will stand considerable steady
cold, but SILVER under wind and are
particularly susceptible to dampness.
The plan of coping sheep up in close
warm quarters with little or no ven
tilatiOn is not a good one. See that
their quarters are comfortable by all
means, have them dry and fairly warm,
bat have them we'll ventilated without
draughts Then provide shed, nave
it attached to the pens if possible, open
on one side except ror what fencing
is necessary to keep them in, and let
them run under this cover daily. Ii
they are not inclined to take the ex-
ercise make them do it, and see that
they are provided with some clean
roughage to MUNICH while in the shed.
Be careful and not give them so much
that they will spend their time eating
instead of moving about. water
should also be supplied abundantly.
Try to locate the shed so that the
sheep may be protected from the wind
and at the same time get all the sun
shine there is.

tanned. We would like to hear from
parties who raise mich goats-and
can probably help make an occasional
sale for those who have any to sell.
The following brief notes should be
of interest to those who keep milk
giving goats. Those who are familiar
with the subject pretty nearly all
agree in their claims as to the value
of goats milk for invalids, for chill
dren and for cookery. Some of them
regard it as most beneficial when
taken incidentally for certain diseases
or ailments.
Goats milk is especially recon-
mended for infants because of its sim
ilarity in composition to mothers milk
and medical literature is full of in
stances of success attending the use
of this milk with children that, pre-
vious to it's use, were rapidly wasting
away.
Most authors who are assured of
the complete digestibility of goats
milk, and who recommend it's use
above all others, base their opinions
on results obtained from feeding chill
dren several months old.
The trouble in this country has been
that the goat was so long an object OF
ridicule among those who never I'M
dcrstood it's value, that false impress
sion has sprung up, or rather exists,
in regard to keeping goats or using
their milk. The American public is
largely of the opinion that goat milk
has a peculiarly disagreeable odor or
flavor. This is not rue in properly
managed diaries. Those who fully
understand the causes that produce
i'll favored milk in cows, would not
expect any radical difference in the
goat. If the goats are permitted to
roam the streets and alleys at will,
and pick up garbage, one may expect
to find the milk off in flavor again
the principal source of bad odor so
frequently noticed in goats milk is
the dirt which falls from the animafs
body into he milk at milking time;
another common cause is the puck
whose skin emits the odor SO char-
acteristic of nearly all breeds of goats.
1t is specially Objectionable to have
the buck near at milking time, as the
milk readily absorbs the odor.
The milk of properly fed and prop
erly managed goats has no flavor to
distinguish it from cows milk, except
perhaps it's extra sweetness and cream
mess; in short, it is only distinguish
able by it's superiority.
Mich goats are found in all parts
of the world, but, with the exception
of Switzerland and few of the other
European countries the varieties are
so numerous that no effort has been
made to classify them.
1t is stated on good authority that

GROOMING the Horse.

The skin of a horse, like that OF
other animals, is mass of excretory
pores, which, if kept open, give. a
constant flow of watery fluid dis
charges, carrying off the effete waste
material which has performed it's pro-
per function in the maintenance OF
the body. The epidermis also is COM
rosed of an infinite number of glands
which constantly pour an oily secre-
tion to the surface, which is essential

How to Throw a Horse.

To thoroughly take the concelt out
of a horse there is no better way than
to throw him. 1t certainly requires
pluck and determination to throw
horse single handed, but if done, your
horse is virtually conquered for good
and all. To do this, put good strong
kalter on your horse, take strap with
a ring in it and buckle it on the
horses off fore leg below the fetlock
Joint; take a rope eight feet long and
tie il to this strap; place a surcingle
around the horses body, take up your
position on the right side of the horse,
bring the rope over the horses back

there are in Switzerland no less than
sixteen pure breeds of goats. The
Swiss breeds now represented in the
United States are the Toggenburg, the
Saanen, and the Schwarzwald, and
inportations are increasing very rap
i!ly.
Although the origin of our native
American goat is obscure some very
excellent mixers are often found
amoNg them.
So far there has been very little
dealing in milch goats in the United
States, and therefore no really definite
price. The common american goats
can be purchased at from $3.50 to
$1,000, the basis of price depending en-
tirely upon the ability as milk pro
ducer
The best mixers of Malta sell at
from SIS to $25, while the various
breeds of Switzerland bring about $40
each. In England prices are very
much higher A very fine mixer in
the latter country will sometimes
bring as much as $40; if a pure-bred
Toggenburger the price is apt to be
500 or more.
Inc UTSC QuoSIlOu uOSI poOpIo dom
concerning the goat INDUSTRY is: How
much milk will a goat give?' This
question can not be given a definite
answer. Such matter as the health
fulness of the animal, character of
feed, regularity of feeding, breed, age,
etc., have an all important bearing on
the quantity of milk produced.
A doe that yields less than quart
day is not considered good mixer;
if she yields two quarts a day she
may be regarded as profitable. In
deed it is stated by German writer's
that many goats yield ten times their
body weight of milk annually, and ex-
ceptional animals as much as 1S times
their weight.
The price to be obtained for the milk
will depend largely upon circum-
stances. In a few instances where
some of the milk has been sold the
prices ranged from fifteen to twenty
five cents per quart. In these cases
the milk was not used for hygienic
purposes, and no attempt was made
to produce and care for it according to
recognized sanitary methods. Not less
than rs cents per quart should be OBJ
tanned where the milk is properly pro-
duced for consumption by puny chill
dren and sick people.

JULIAN" is NO MORE.

A sturdy old man, loyal Amer
lean, good Odd Fellow, left the earth
last Friday, when II. s. Guliani, bet
ter known to all his friends as
Julian" fell asleep. A native of
Tuscany Italy, he came to this coun'
try at the time of the war between
the states. He enlisted at once and
served his country well. He came to
Utah with General Conner, and after
his term of service as a soldier en-,
gagged in mining. He was a grand old
fellow in more ways than one. He
despised shams and was as open as
the daylight. He could get angry, but
was unable to cherish malice. His
enmity was short lived, indeed. He
was a friend to the distressed and in
a quiet way did much good to his fell
low man. The funeral services were
held under the auspices of Bingham
Lodge, No. 10, of Bingham, assisted
by members of the G.. A. r., on Sun
day last. Interment was at Mt. Olivet.
Julian" was in the Gath year of his
age and died as the result of a sue
cession of strokes of paralysis. He
knew the end was coming and was
prepared for it. He died like knight
ly gentleman, fearing not the future
but confident in the hope of bright
Immortality. According to the Scrip
lures" as he was wont to say in his
lifetime. Dear old man; may eternal
peace be his, for he deserved it. Not

SPORTING GOSSIP.

Next Monday night at the Salt Lake
theatre, Mike Schreck and George
Gardner try conclusions. Both men
have trained hard for the vent and
from what can be learned are in ex-
cellent condition. Gardner has train
ed at Ogden, but Schreck has done
his work here. OF course Gardner is
the favorite. He has the best record
and has fought better men, still
Schreck has lot of admirers who be
lieve he will be able to make good
He has met some very good men and
as stated in Truth, his last battle with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien demon
strates that he is no SLOUGH. Gardner
has the advantage in reach and may
be more scientific than Schreck but
the latter is said to be fighter who
can endure punishment and give and
take with the best of them. Those
who have visited Schreck in his train
ing quarters here declare that he is
a good man. Jim Williams tried out
with him three rounds, and although
Jim is fat he sent in the best he had
and Schreck took it like little man.
AS a matter of fact he made Jim very
tired in the three short bouts they

simmons to a draw and that gives
him a reputation nathing else would.
His defeats of Jack Root were vic
tories worth gloating over, especially
the first one at the Salt Palace in this
city some years ago. He is a strong,
scientific fighter, with good staying
qualities. Schreck realizes all this
and while he is making no boasts,
acts as if he intended making the
fight of his life, as he doubtless will.
There will be but one preliminary,
a ten-round contest to decision be-
tween Terry Davis and George
Hackett These two clever young
fellows saved the exhibition at which
Danforth hung the Indian sign on
Hamp. The main event was over so
quickly that the spectators would have
been long ways from getting their
moneys worth had not these two lads
put up clever exhibition. The con
test was on the square and for blood,
and the boys were not satisfied with
the result and want to settle who is
the best man.
Manager Robinson will have the
seating arrangements better than ever
before and the event promises to be
one of the best ever seen in this city.
Truth recommends patrons of the
sport to attend. believing it will be an
exhibition worth seeing.
