TAKE CARE OF YOUR HARNESS
Simple Directions for Washing and
Oiling-How to Blacken.

Says a horseman: To thoroughly
wash the harness it should be taken
apart and soaked in tub of lukewarm
soft water until it is pliable. If soft
water is not obtainable, use hard water
broken with a little sal soda. Then
with clean wooden rag or brush care
fully wash each piece thoroughly and
lay it on a table or hang it up to dry.
After the harness is thoroughly dry,
apply neatsfoot oil. warm, to each
separate strap. using woolen cloth
aud working the strap thoroughly in
the hand until they are soft and pliable.
Fresh, unsalted butter can be used in
place of neatsfoot oil, if preferred; do
not use cheap oils at any price.
To blacken the harness use four
ounces of boneblack, two ounces of
linseed oil. half ounce of sulphuric
acid, two ounces of treacle, one ounce
of gum arabic and one pint of vinegar.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

The man who says that the Trusts are
not a detriment ought to look at Wyo-
ming. 1t has hundreds of thousands Of
acres of oil lands, capable of producing
as much of this article as Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined, and yet there is
not refinery in the State. Not one OF
the hundreds of flowing wells in this
State is allowed to ship a single barrel
of petroleum for outside markets, and
yet it is the best oil, in many ways,
ever discovered. Why is this? Here's
the answer Some months ago pro-
ducer in Uinta County asked for car
load rates over the Union Pacific, say
ing that he would put up bond qua
ranteeing a daily production of three
hundred barrels for five years. This
was about six months ago. He has
worked long and fervently to secure a
rate, but to no avail. The Standard
Oil Company exercised its influence,
and the Evanston man was shut out.
AS a result, Wyoming to-day, an IN.
developed empire within itself, lies
dormant, because local attempts to de-
velop the State are throttled by a gi-
gantic Trust. What is said of oil is
applicable to numerous other resources
of the State.-News. Evanston, Wyo.

HAzING AT THE UNIVERSITY
Mother Removes Son Who Was
Ill Treated at the State In
stitution in Reno.

A. G. Harris, one of the young men
who was hazed by the students of the
Nevada University in Reno recently.
and who was delirious for two days as
result, has been taken from the iusti-
tuition by his mother, who went from
Carson to see her son as soon as she re-
ceived the news. She stated that she
would not allow the young man to re-
main at place where he was being ILL.,
treated, but that she would send him to
Bullfrog, where several of his brothers
are engaged in the mining business.
Bullfrog, she said. vas safer for him
than the State University.
Alexander and Perrin, the young
men who were hazed last week, during
which the latter drew n revolver and
threatened his tormentors, were called
before a meeting of the faculty, where
it is supposed they were questioned
about the treatment they received at
the hands Of the hazers. Perini denies
that he drew a revolver Both students
declined to make a statement after leav-
ing the Presidents office.
According to statements made by
various students, the hazing is being
carried on by body of seniors, who
have a magnifed idea of their impor-
tance. The victims are mostly lower
classmen. who have declined to properly
salute or defer to the upper classmen.
The faculty say that hazing must
stop aud any one found guilty will be
expelled. z........ s.

WHEN STEERS PAY BEST
Calves Return More Profit on Invest
ment Than the Older Cattle.

IL re luires about one-half as much
grain to produce 100 pounds of gain on
calves as on 2-year -olds, says Professor
+. B. Mumford of the Missouri Agri-
cultural College. The work of this
college has definitely demonstrated
that the most profitable age to fatten
cattle is while they are still young.
The older the animal the more food is
required to produce given gain. Other
stations have also investigated this
question, and have arrived at the same
result
The Central Experiment Station
farm at Ottawa. Canada. found by
comparing 1000 pounds live weight in
the case of calves, yearlings, and 3
years olds, that the profit for each 1000
pounds was: Calves. $31; yearlings
s27; 2-year.olds, Sl9l0; 3year olds.
$12S0. u
When all of the cattle of all ages
were purchased at A cents pound aud
sold fat at cents pound, the profit
on $1,000 invested in feeding cattle was:
Calves. s557 so; yearlings, 1891; 3
year-olds. $i9S.75; year.olds. sl77 80.
Nine-ienths OF all the cattle fed in the
Middle West are 2-year-olds at the be-
ginning of the feeding period. When
these cattle are in this condition at the
beginning of the experiment, they are
often fed with profit, bat starting with
calves in the same condition it is un.

SMELTER TRUST LEFT IN REAR
United States Company Is Smelt-
ing More Ore in Salt Lake
Valley Than Any Other.

The "Smelter Trust" is being left far
in the rear in the quantity of ore ham
died, according to the statistics.
1t has been common practice to refer
to the American Smelling q Refining
Company as the leader in the smelter
business Of this valley. In the amount
of ore treated, however. it holds moth
ing better than second place, and fig
ures available show that two other
companies handle more ore every day
than it does. At the American Smelt-
ing Company works eight furnaces,
with charge capacity of 1875 tons each,
are operated. Allowing for fuel and
fiuxes, il is doubtful whether more than
200 tonsfs handled during each "a hours.
Compared with what the American
Company is doing the United States
Company has it altogether outclassed.
IL is operating six big furnaces aud a
rever beratory, and combined they are
handling more than 1000 tons of ore in
addition to the fsUxes. The company is
also operating !, ad smelter with three
furnaces, the capacity of which are the
equal, at any rate, of those at the
Americon works, which means that at
least 300 tons of ore day are being
melted into bullion there.
Treats Greater Variety of Ore.
This would indicate that the United
States works are treating in the neigh
borhood OF 600 tons Of ere more per day
than is the American plant. Allowing,
however. that the American Company
is getting through 1000 tons per day in
its eight furnaces. the United States
works then have it beaten by 800 tons.
As matter of fact, the Utah Consol-
idated smelter consumes more ore every
"A hours than does the American plant.
and il is question whether its tonnage
is not also closely approximated, if not
exceeded by the Bingham Consolidated
Company.
The United States Company also
treats greater variety of ore than does
