Ilrlnalna p Three thnttwere Takes loans
on the Plains.
Colonel Ezra Miller, of Mahwah, N.J.,
brought up three buffaloes that were
sent to him from the plains of the West,
and gives his ezperienee with them ns
ioiiows in an interview wuu a iNew lork
reporter:
"I have proved to my own satisfac
tion," the colonel said, "several im
portant points. First, that buffaloes
can be tamed. Sooond, that it doesn't
cost one-half as much to keep a buffalo
as to keep an ordinary cow. Third,
they can be fattened' as quickly as
ordinary beeves, and on half the food,
and their meat is just as good. Fourth,
they are as good milkers as our Alder
neys; and fifth, they are as good butter
makers. The milk of the buffalo is a
little yellower than that of the Alder
pey, but very sweet and rich, and there
is more cream than in the Alderney
milk. As t3 the quantity of milk given
by buffalo cows, they will average with
the average milker. The udder of the
buffalo cow is very email indeed, but
the milk veins are immense. This
is a provision whereby nature enables
them to run faster than if cumber
ed by a large udder. I am of the
opinion that the most desirable cross is
wrth the big Dutch cattle that have such
big udders. 1 think that crossing them
with our short-horns will give remarka
bly good beef. But the beef from our
buffaloes more than met my expecta
tions. It was sweet and juicy, and
tender, not at all like the meat of the
buffalo of the plains.
"Now, in drawing the balance be
tween the buffalo and the ordinary cow,
I find these facts: The buffalo can be
kept at one-half the cost of the cow;
that's one point for the buffalo. We
will assume, to give the cow a fair show,
that she yields more milk and butter.
That balances the account so far. The
buffalo is fully equal to our stock in
the quality of meat. So they are still
on even terms; but its hide is worth
four times as much, so it comes out far
ahead in the last heat, as horsemen say.
The hide from my bull was a beautiful
specimen. It was better than a $25
robe I bought to compare with it The
fur was longer and finer, the result of
good feed, I think."
The colonel led the way to the barn
yard where the buffalo cow and heifer
were kept. A savory smell was ex
haled from the kitchen as he passed.
"Come in here a minute," he Baid,
suddenly. Three or four farmhands
were eating dinner, and a large platter
of what seemed to be beefsteak stood on
the table. The colonel seized a knife
and cut into it. It was sweet, juicy,
and tender, and well flavored. " That
is from the round," the colonel said.
" Not the best cut by any means, as yon
know; but our women say the buffalo
meat is all tenderloin. The-hump is
very fine, being rich and juicy. The
heart is immense in size, and the liver
beats any beef liver I ever tasted."
A good-looking colored man went to
the cow stables, and from among a
number of ordinary-looking animals
turned out the buffalo cow. Her black
horns curved upward and were tipped
with brnss knobs. Otherwise she was
the ordinary buffalo. Her calf, the
yearling heifer, was her counterpart
without the horns. Both were very
gentle, and the heifer answered readily
o the name of " Nancy."
" We have had no trouble in raising
them," the colonel said, " and they herd
with the other cattle on the best of
terms. What surprises me is their
weakness. I supposed they were very
powerful; but they are not. I have seen
a yearling Alderney bull push Bill, the
buffalo bull, when he was three years
old, right up hill. They are taut, bat
they are not 6trong. They are also very
cowardly, very playful and very cun
ning. I have studied their habits and
have been greatly amused. If one of
them sees you shut a gate, he'll go up
and open it immediately after you; but
he won't go out of the gate. I had them
in that lot there, and noticed that a
length of the fence that separated the
pasture from a field of rye was down. I
Bent a man to nail it up. Bill stood just
behind him and watched him closely. The
man had not got back to the house be
fore Bill gravely walked up to the fence,
put his horns unier the lower board,
and ripped the whole length down, and
then quietly turned round and walked
off. One day the men were working on
that side hill with barrows. At noon
while they were eating dinner under
that shed, thev heard a raUln an A .tr,
came Bill, a handle of the wheelbarrow
on eacn horn, wheeling it. Ho wheeh d
it to the foot of that hill there, when it
turned over. Then he tried to get it
back. I have seen him roll a barrel
half way up the hill and then let roll
down, and every time the barrel bounced

sprang up with a switch, they'd eturt in
a circle around it, one behind the other,
jumping stiff legged, coming down on
all four feet at a time, and at each jump
all gructing.
" I want to say that I think it will pay
to breed buffaloes. I think a good idea
would be to have buffalo ranches in the
buffalo country, where ths calves could
be collected and domcBtioated, and
whence they could bo shipped to the
East. If something of this kind isn't
done, the buffalo will be exterminated."

Bagdad's " Date Mark " Malady,
No aooount of Bagdad would bo com

Hon of the Bagdad " date mark, a
mysterious malady which affect? every
body, whether citizen or stranger. It is
a dry, eating sore, which comos gener
ally upon the face, lasts for a year, and
then goes away forever, leaving an indel
ible mark about the size and shape of a
date, as evidence of the visitation. The
cicatrix is just skin deep; and the spot
appears as if the surface had boon Bear
ed away with caustio or a hot iron, and
it by no means enhances the beauty of
the victim. The sore generally comes
in childhood, and then tt commonly set
tles upon the faoe. The cheek of nearly
every man or woman brought up in Bag
dad shows the unmistakable mark.
Sometimes it settles on the nose, and
then the disfigurement is considerable,
sometimes on the eyelid, and blindness
is generally the result. Strangers are
attacked even after a brief residence;
bnt if they be adults, they get the sore
ou the arm or wrist. It is more painful
there than on the cheek, but of course
there is no disfigurement. In every caao
the attack runs its course for a year; no
treatment, no ointment or medicine has
the slightest effect npon it. Onoe the
sore makes its appearance, the sufferer
knows what to expect, and as he may as
well resign himself philosophically to all
it involves. The Arabs say that every
one that goes to B igdad must get the
"date mark;" if he does not got it while
in the city, he will get it after he leaves;
and if he does not get it while alive, he
wui get it alter he is dead. It is not to
be avoided.
In Aleppo the disease is known as the
Aleppo button." and there, as in Bag
dad, the favorite theory is that water is
the cause of the evil. But two Euro
pean physicians, who went to the city to
investigate the matter, were themselve's
attacked within a fortnight after their
arrival in the town, though they took
the precaution of having their drinking
water bronght from a distant place,
where its quality was above suspicion.
Another suspected cause is a supposed
deficiency of iodine in the salt used in
the country. Some people are inclined
to think there is something in the de
fective sanitation of the town which
predisposes to the attack.
The visitation is not as a rule painful.
unless it happens to fix npon a spot
above a joint or a muscle frequently
bronght into exeroise. The irritation
occasioned by movement of the affected
part is often considerable, and gives
rise to a great deal of Buffering. The

turbed in ordinary cases. The children
