FACTS
CONCERNING
MALARIA.
Slight impurities in the air appear te be ab
sorbed and affect the health or persons deli
cately constituted. I can recollect where a
delicate child, some three years age, was taken
from a beat landing, en a pier ne: ever one
hundred tect long, across a marsh caused by
the ebb and flew et the tides, overgrown by
deck weeds. The next day the child had chills
and fever, although It was never before se
affected. Aft-r taking the proper remedy,
oimmeDs Liver Roplater,
It was entirely restored te health and con
tinued se for ever twelve months, when the
same trip was again taken, the same marsh
crossed ever, and the same way as before the
child was taken with chills and lever, though
net having had any for ever a year, and has
never had one since, fully demonstrating hew
trifling the cause, and hew Insidious teul air is
te penetrate the system.

BREEDING AND RaISINw STOCK.
In the Far West Water and Grass is ecerd-
Ids tbe Brand Herds Banning Astray
for a Year.
A number of gentlemen interested in
argicultnre, forming an association popu
larly known as the " New Yerk Farmers,"
are in the habit of dinimr together at in
tervals during the season when they ate
residents of the city instead of being scat
tercd at their summer villas in the coun
try. The record of the addresses at these
dinners the past year has just been pub
lished. One read at the meeting en March
19th, was by. Mr. Themas Sturgis of
Cheyenne, who was introduced as "re
presenting 60,000 head of cattle." We
give below seme extracts from his re
marks: This business of cattle ranching is neth
ing moreer lass than the breeding and
raising of animals without shelter and
without prepared feed. That is the only
way in which it differs from your way of
handling cattle here. The business, like
the name, comes te us from "old"
Mexico, as it is always called in the West
te distinguish it from our own territory
of the same name. There the raneluna is
the farm buildings, and raneltere is the
man who owns them ; and the Mexicans
have given us most of our nomenclature.
Our men are vaqueros, and they rejoice
in the title, for it is that of skilled cow
herder ; the pens into which we turn enr
cattle are corrals, and the rope they threw
ever their horses is a lariat or riata.
My attention was first called te this
method of cattle raising by my eminent
failure in another direction. Seme fifteeu
years age, my partner and I settled en
the border of the Indian territory, and I
traded for their cattle with Cuectuws,
Chickasaws and Creeks. The first winter
we lest 2C7 head out 300, owing te the
frozen rains te which the animals were
subjected, and te which they were net
accustomed. This fixed in my mind the
fact which I am ready te formulate as au
axiom, that for the handling of cattla
without shelter, the first perquisite is a
climate in which cold and rain de net co
exist. Cattle will stand ex trome-)f cither
but net together. And I spsak carefully
when I say " extremes ;" for my own
experience shows, and is borne out by that
of ethers, that cattle will hear any ex
treme of dry cold te which they arc
likely te be exposed in the United States.
I was at Fert Garland, in the Sau Luis
Valley, in 1873, aud the pest trader told
me that his beef cattle had bsen repeated
ly subjected te a tempsrature of 43 degrees
below zero, and yet during all that time
he was able te supply beef cattle of geed
quality te the pest. Since that time, I
have repeatedly seen my own cattle ex
posed te a tompeialuro of 20 degrees or 30
degrees below zero, for three woeks te
gether without any perceptible iujury. I
have seen calres born at that teniperatura
get up and draw their .sustenance at na
ture's fount without any of the function;
of mother and calf being disturbed. That is
due te the absolute dryness of tin climate
throughout the section of country I refer
te. When the hide is dry, there is no
less of animal warmth tu speak of ; but,
if you wet the hide and expose the animal
te an ordinary dogree of cold say freez
ing point or even above the less of vital
ity takes place very rapidly aud death en
sues. The area of country ever which
this grazing is poss.ble is much larger
than is ordinarily supposed. Yeu may
say, roughly speaking, that a'.l of the
country from west of the oue hundredth
degree of lengitude te the Pacific, aud
from old Mexico te the British posses
sions is available for the handling of cat.
tie in this way. I will exsepr, howevcr,
from. that such portions of the mountains
as are above an elevation of 7,000 feet, for
there will be tee much fall of snow, and
also such portions of the plateaus as are
below 3,000 feet, for thore the moisture
and dampness will crust and froeze ever
the snow and defeat the object which we
wish te accomplish. That covers Colerado,
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon
and Washington territories. The southern
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
form at present but a small feature of the
business, chiefly en account of the ab
sence of water.
The first two requisites in this raueh
business are of course water and grass.
With a small rainfall of ten or ten and
half inches per annum, you will ba sur
prised te hear that the water should be
strong and continuous, but that in thesd
regions is the case. The streams are deep
S9t, flowing generally from the feet-hills
of the mountains, and their variation is
very slight from ene season of the year te
another. The grass is less a grass than it
is a grain. The mesqaite grass of Texas,
the buffalo grass of Wyoming and Colerado
and the bunch grassef Northern Wyoming
and Mentana all carry a small seed vessel,
which bears three or four grains of rich
oily seed, which is net unlike, though
very much smaller than, millet. The
grass makes all its growth during the cer.
tinuance of the rains, which are in May,
June and the early part of July, and it
grows very rapidly. A rainfall later than
that is a very unusual occurrenca, and
after Soptember is never seen. The grass
cures upon the stalk, and remains in this
dry but perfect form retaining all its
saccharine matter, until the following
spring. The cattle feed upon that and
keep their condition admirably, as de also
our riding horses. The only animals
which seem te lese flesh are, as you might
naturally expect, the cows whteh are
suckling calves.
New, as regards the method of enteri ug
into this business. The taking up of a
range is always preceded by tbe recording
of a brand. The embryo ranchman pro
ceeds te the county clerk's office aud
selects any letter or figure or combination
of the two, or any odd character, masenic
or anything else, which he pleases and
which is net already a matter of record.
Fer that, he receives a record in his
own name which insures him the ab
solute ownership and use of that brand ;
and the existence of that brand upon the
animal is prima fane evidence of his
ownership, the laws making the alteration
or counterfeiting of that brand a penal
offence, just as they de here the counter
feiting of the signature te a eheck. It has
been said that all a man need de te be
come rich is te record a brand and have an
iron made. But that is a libel. The
ranchman makes bis location upon any
fine stream or spring, nei occupied by
some one else, at a distance of perhaps 10
or 15 miles from bis nearest neighbor, and
enters from the government a small piece
of land en which he puts his improve -ments.
The homestead law permits a
man te take 159 acres and obtain absolute
title te it by improvement. That is all
the ranchman obtains title te, but by
placing his buildings ever the country in
different directions 10 or 15 miles apart,he
obtains the possessery use of a large tract
of country, and his neighbors respect his
rights se long as he occupies the land with
his cattle, and he is te all intents and pur
poses the owner of it. An intrusion would
be regarded as a very unaeighberly act,
and rarely perpetrated, because tha rights
of men in tliat country, though net de
fined by law, are very clearly denned by
usage.
Se far as the ranchman's work is con
cerned, the great event of the -year u the
general " round up," which takes place in
the spring. The country in wbieh.all the
ranchmen are interested is arbitrarily
divided into "round up" districts, each
district containing about the same average
number of miles of streams. The theory
of the " round up" is based upon the fact
that cattle must always' go te water at
least once in the twenty-four hwrs, and
that usually from ten o'clock in the morn
ing te four o'clock in the afternoon.
Therefore, between these hours you will
undoubtedly find all the cattle in the cer
tain radius of country closing in toward
the water, where they expect te be at
neon. The men are sent out in bodies of
fifteen or twenty te drive in the cattle
within that radius. The cattle ate envea
in by ten o'clock in the morning ; they are
then asserted according te their brands,
and are turned ever te the owners of tbe
respective brands. That -process is carried
en down one of these streams te the end,
up the next, down the next, until at the
end of six weeks the section of country
devoted te that round up district is tho
roughly worked, the cattle placed en the
ranches where they belong, and the stray
cattle transferred te ether round-up dis
tricts. The next process is for each
ranchman te gather en his own ranch the
calves that may exist there. These he
brands. He then selects from his herds
his beef cattle the steers of three, or
four, or five years of age, which may be
in condition for market. These he drives
te tbe nearest railroad point, leads in the
cars and ships te Chicago, which is the
only market that the cattle country tribu
tary te the Union Pacific is accustomed te
use. Usually be sends a train lead of
fifteen or twenty cars at once, with two ci
his own men, and the cattle will be six
days in reaching Chicago three days en
the cars and three off for feeding and rest
ing. They are consigned te a' commission
merchant, sold and the proceeds .sent te
the shipper en the day of arrival. This
makes it purely a cash business, and this
brings te my mind a remark made by an
old Bosten banker te a young man who
asked hint for au advance for the purpose
of using it in the cattle business, and
offered him a mortgage en his property.
Said the baukcr : " I suppose you put
your cattle under feuce every night."
"Ne," was the reply, "we don't see
them mere thau once a year as a rule."
" Well," said the banker, " young man, I
would as seen take a mortgage en a
school of codfish off the banks of New
foundland." But, although the reply was
witty, it was net ttue. I was conversing
with one of the largest prevision dealers
in Chicago two years age, aud we bad the
curiosity te compare the convertibility of
our assets. I said, " We have a million
or a million and a half of property, and I
would agree te turn that into money in
ninety days. Hew seen can you ?" He
said : " I thought your assets were pretty
transitory, but mine are in the pockets of
about two hundred and filty customers
ever the state of Illinois, and it would
take me twelve months te gather them
CRIME AND CALAMITY.
The Arrcfti el Alleged Highwaymen.
Braddock, Allegheny county, has for a
long time been terrorized by a gang of
desperadoes who committed all setts of
ciimes, highway robbery being their
favorite pursuit. Several citizens were
attacked, brutally beaten and robbed of
large sums of money. Twe men waylaid
last week will probably die. Yesterday
Secret Service Officers Plenuer and Clark
arrested Jehu S. Gorden. Rebert M. Geary,
Albert Crutan, and Dr. James Buck, who
are believed te be leaders of the gang. The
three first named are dangerous men.
Buck has been practicing medicine in
Braddock for two or three years, and is
proprietor of a drug store there. He be bo be
lengs te a respectable family in Fayette
county, (lis father held an, important
state oflice at the beginning of the war.
There may be seme mistake in his case,
but the officers say they have evidence te
convict all four of the prisoners. A num
ber of ether arrests will be made in a day
or two. Gorden was captured in West
Virginia after along chase. The detectives
say the gattg te which the prisoners belong
has extensive ramilicatieus east aud west,
and that they are engaged in counterfeit
ing and bor-se stealing as well as highway
robbery.

the General Superintendent of the District
Messenger Ce. of New Haven, Conn. Mr. In
gram says : " Fer many months I bad been
sorely troubled with a weak and tired feeling
across the loins, aimest Invariably accompa
nied with a headache. I had noticed also that
at stated periods following tbese pains my
urine would be highly colored, and leave a
heavy brick-colored sediment when allowed
te stand In the vessel. I could net work, and
I was discouraged te an alarming degree.
Nothing helped me. I was prescribed ler by
some et thqbest physicians In New Yerk city,
where I was located at that time, but derived
no benefit or relief. When almost ready te
give up in despair an acquaintance said tome,
I want you te try Hunt's Remedy. 1 did se,
and hardly twenty-four hours had elapsed be
fore I obtained relief, and in three weeks'
time all the aforesaid ailments had disappear
ed, and I Improved steadily, and was infused
with new lite, se that I could resume my busi
ness again, which is ene that subjects me te
strains of all kinds, which are likely te etlect
the kidneys, namely : Erecting telegraph and
telephone lines. Hunt's Remedy new occu
pies the most honored place In my cabinet of
medicines. 1 would net be without It, and 1
cheerfully and heartily recommend it te all
who are troubled with diseases et the liver,
kidney, or urinary organs. It never fails te
cure."
