ItAngo In the World Indian Tra
ditions Concerning It.
A few miles (o the northwest of
Meeker, Col., scvcnty-tive perhaps, is the
most wonderful ciittlcranch in the world.
Within a space of five miles in length and
half milo in width roam n herd upon
whose sides the branding iron lias never
been plnced and around whose horns the
lariat has never tightened. I'.ut a score,
or even fewer, of thein have ever seen a
man or a horse, or other animal th in of
their kind,and in truth their kin, except
nt a distance cf nearly til)!) feet ubovo
tho;n.
Tho Vie Indians call them
"pYliek-up." or red btilTalo, and jet if
nil Indian who has seen thorn should bo
a-iked about it, he would Inrph and
shake his head and all the inloi iivitioa
obtainable would be "p'chek tip, 'cm
red; ni ketch 'cm." There nro more
than four hundred of this nerd and yet
no man owns them nor is there a man,
white or copper colored, who has ever
been able to possess a sing!e hof of
these fat and templing bcevc. The cat
tle are iu a prison. Out of it there is ouo
method ol escape, but to travel th it road
means death to the adventurous brute.
Theie is no way to pet in, ex cpt it be
by means of a rope a thousand feet long.
As the Indians say : " Heap sen 'cm, no
ketch 'em, no como away. "' On the two
long sides of tlio oblong spneo in which
these cattle roam rise precipitous and
fven concaved rocks four, live and six
hundred feet, yawning black and insur
mountable, and at cither end seethes and
rushes tho Yampa or Hear liiver. I'ot
miles above it plunges and ttnmbles on
n its headlong haste to reach the aims
of its parent, I lie scarcely less tumultuous
but deeper O'reen liiver.
Like the wonderful Hat top mountains
of Colorado, this home of tho imprisoned
lie id his no likeness in the world. The
etory of the way inuhich these cattle
cntno there is as strange as their existence
is curious.
Fifteen years ago, when 'the Govern
ment troops were pursuing the Mormon
murderers of the innocent victims of the
Mountain .Meadow massacre, the Danitcs,
or avenging angels of the Mormons, lied
for their snlety into what was literally
the wilderness. A few of thoso who
had been the blindest followers of Let,
tho Mormon fiend incarnate, and whose
bands were rod with the blood of women
nd children, found iu their wanderings
a pretty valley on attreim which Howl
from the Wusatch range in the Green
liiver.
They struck their stakes, built the'u
camp tires and during the night t he: i
igacious leader had a vision which told
liim there to stay. They could hardly
liuvo chosen in all I talia more fertile 01
more isolated spot. They called it
Ashley, and about them have since
gathered more of their sect, until where
the refugees posted their picket ol
guards on the lonely nigh's of the first
bummer has grown a thriving village.
It is 140 miles from tho I nion Pacific
Tlailroad, south, and 115 miles north ol
the Itio Grande Western. I mil with n
five years it has been isolated entirely,
but now it is but thirty miles from the
I'nita reservation, and furnishing sup.
jilics for the agency forms quite u biiii
ncss for tho community. It is a proveib
of tho Danites that ro'jbery or theft from
a Gentile, is no cr.me. ro it was thought
to be only a cuuuing trick when John
Wycklilfe, one of tha Mormon settlers ol
the new town, and his three sous made a
night sortie on Henry's Fork, in Wyom
ing, and carried away 300 head of cattle
ranging there. This was in lsTt;.
The owners of the cattle discovere 1
the loss of their stock a few days after
they were gone and started in pursuit.
Tho Wycklilfes had their friends along
the trail and were warn d by s gnnls of
the coming of the purs.iing party Ac
cordingly they drove the catt e ni fat a?
they could travel on eastward across
Green Hiver and up along the Bear, with
the intention of reaching the Elk moun
tain country in northwestern Colorado,
where they would be practic dly safe from
detection and their stock nlM would se
cure tho most succulent of feed.
The thioei and their stolon herd
reached a mesa of inviting gras at sun
down one day and halted to camp for
tho night. A tcrrilic storm arose. The
lightning fashed incessantly and the
thunder pealed and cracked with uuie
mitting fury. The four men desperately
held the terror-stricken cattle by ridin '
about them constantly. Hut tin w.ld"
fearfuluess of tho furious storm ctcited
the brutes beyond measure. They surge 1
and bellowed, every moment growing less
subject to control. All at once, us 'if bv
one mad impulse, they stampeded.
John Wycklilfe and his sons met their
fate amid the lightning's glare and iha
thunder's roar. They endeavored to head
oil the stampeding herd. Insteid they
nnd their hor-es were swept on and driven
in the terror to e-ajie the maddened ani
mals over the brink of the awful preci
pice which frowns up from the waters of
the Tear. After them plunged the w h do
crazed herd and down to the bottom of
the fearful full went horses, riders ami
liorned c reatures.- Out of this plunge of
life to what was seemingly cert tin death
for all, a few of the herd were not killed.
Thosjj which had gone ahead formed a
cusaiou of death. .Maimed, stunned,
but still invested with a spark of life,
when the storm was over the livins cattle
crawled out from the muss beneath tl.em
and formed a nucleus for the herd which
now roams at will within their rocky
confines.
To those who look at them from tho
edge of the pricinice they seem small and
as wild us deer. The progeny of the
surviving animals from the lull are fat
and sleek, and have sunny beds, deer
like, wheie they 1 e for warmth in the
winter. As yit uo una has bc;u able
to reach them.
The I'tes havo a tradition that savors
of a romance connected with this won
derful spot. It is that a oimg buc k
who was of Piah's renegade band be
came enamored of a young biouv squaw
and sought to take her to his trine. The
bucks drove bo nc-jalio an I his bride
away. After weeks of outlawry, often
pursued, anl clinging to en existence of
terror, the young buck and his tquaw
determined they would seo this cattle
valley, which the Indiausrall the "Lower
Earth" and try to tiud some ucce-s. The,
buck made u dugout iiom a lo.; anil
a paddle from a limb. Twelve "miles
above they launched ihs rude craft,
tliim-eUca lailu-d to it, aud went
whirling and Lhouting on downward.
A hen they merged fioin the dailc walls
into the openisg whiiti they had hoped
would be thci, impregnable icfu-e the
dugout was bottom out and already
splintered by coutuct with a thousand
jagged rojka, while it bore on iu tho

A Cell lent Moment,
I was tnlkinc n few weeks bro with a

to Lis tntlier's rmuof in boston, nnd hi

this:"
Oh!" said she. "I lave stood this a Rood

found it was worrying me to donth. and I
put the whole case in Hod's hands, and said:
O, Ho I. I cannot endure this any linger;
tnke care of my son. reform him, bless him,
sivehim.'nnd there I left tho whole thing
with God, and 1 shall never worry neiin.
"Die nrx; dny." sa'd the olerpymui, who
was talking to me in regard to it, "1 met my
brother, and said: 'John you are in an awfiil
position.' '1 low so:' snid'he. 'Why mother
tins told mo that he has left you with (toil;
i-h doesn't pray for yon any more.' "Is that
so: Well. I "can rever contend with the

He never did drink nitum. He went to
the Far West: nnd nt a I'uiiiiuet in St bonis

don t seem to have any regard for us nnd
you have no sympathy w itli our hilarities.''
Then the mnn lifted' the Rlnss nnd said:
"(ientlenien, there was in boston somevears
fiRoamnnwhn, though ho had a beautiful
wife and two children, fell awnv from his

The Saloon Must Go.
The time is fast approaching when the
inso'enee nnd lnwle.-sness of the saloon will
le effectually suppressed. A sentiment in
that direction is rnpidiy developing, and
nothing has done more toqu.cken it thau the
sa'oon itself. Its disregard for law, its
arrogance, its lobbying in legislative halls
and dictation to conventions and caucuses,
have done moro tlinn nil else to create a
sentiment against it that will control it or
sui press it altogether, ft thou Id consider
it has no claim on the public nt all. ft has
no part in conin cr ial proseritv. It exists
iu opposit on to all principle of industry and
rcnmierc al iateiests. Tlio people have the
highest right right lecognizab e to suppress
it entirely the right of self protection. For
the ta'oon to talk at out rights ii foolish. It
has none. It only exists ty surTerenee, and
the re is nothing on which it c an base a claim
for piotectiuu. it is an industry that weak
ens ever) th ng it touches, one that, adds
nothing to individual or national prosperity,
bl.t it is a heavy burden to both. Tho reve
nue it yields is too insignificant, compared to
the tax it mi kes necessary, to speak of.

ncmcdjr for Mange.
Mange Is not a disease in tho common
sense of tho term, but is caused either
by a vcgctabla parasite or by an insect
which grows in the skin. There are
two kinds, but both are treated alike.
The treatment is as follows: The skin
is first washed with warm water and
carbolic soap to soften it and open the
pores in which tho parasites are im
bedded: it helps to rub the skin with a
corn cob or something rough to break
tip the vesicles and remove the crusts
The parts nre then dried and rnbho 1
thoroughly with an ointment msdo as
follows: Four parts of lord, one pnrt of
sulphur, and one part of keroscno; a few
drops of creosote are addod, about
twenty drops to an ounce of th.' mixture
This should be well workni into tho
skin with a hard brush, and the applica
tion should bo repeated weekly for three
orfotir weeks, so ns to destroy any new
growth from eggs or spores. " This
disease is contagious, nnd tho stables
where a mangy nnimal has been kept
should be well white-washed with 1 mo.

Durability of Tlmbor.
Timber varies exceedingly in its power
of resisting decay, and the more resinous
the wood is the sooner it decays under
ground. Thus, pine and hemlock posts
will rot olt in two years if made of green
timber, but will last four years if the
timber is seasoned, and will resist decay
for eight or ten years if well saturated
with hot lime and tamped with coarse
broken stone when fet. Seasoned locust
and chestnut posts thus treated with
lime and tamped with stono have re
mained sound for thirty or forty years,
but if the timber is green when set the
posts have rotted oil in half this period.
The frequently-appealing statement that
posts set in tho ground top end down
ward ure moro durablo th!in if set tho
other way has also been disproved by
tests, ns might be rensonnbly expected.
As tho matter of the durability of fence
posts is important to farmers and it is
well proved that locust is the most dur
ablo of all timber for that purpose, and
chestnut is next to it the planting of
grove? of these trees lor this use should
not be neglected. By and by it will be
easy to collect tho seeds, nnd this should
bo done in season. JV'.'ie IVrX- 2'imtt.
Poultry as Wheat Producers.
It has been claimed that one fourth of
the pro it in poultry is in the manure
they produce. From the e porince of a
wheat grower in Ohio, it would appear
that the whole cxpenso of keeping li s
poultry was pa d by the droppings taken
from the poultry house. This is tho way
it was done :
In the fall, afler he hns his corn in tho
shock, he goes to tho tie d and gets a
number of loads of nice, fine, dry dirt;
this is placed under cover; once each
week tho hen house is cleaned out and
and the droppings covered with some of
this dry dirt, in bulk nbout half ns much
as tho droppings. This nbsorbs tho
moisture and retains tho ammonia. Two
or three times during the summer the
pile is shoveled ovc, to have it thor
oughly mixed nnd dried. The whole is
then sifted to remove feathers, straw or
anything else that would clog u graiu
drill. When he sows his wheat he has a
phosphate attachment to his drill nnd
tses a barrel of this home made fertilizer
to tlio a re. Tho result is nu extra live
or ten bushels of wheat to the ncrc.
This, he says, pays for the kcap of his
fowls, so all the income from the rloc'c is
profit except tho cost of caring for them.
If poultry can be made to increase the
fertility of our farms to such nn extent,
what branch of farming pays bo! tcrf
This is not the experiment of a single
year, but has been carried on for a
number of years. Kcsults e pial to those
obtained by the u-e of commercial fer
tilizers upon meadows have been secured
by the use of this home made wheat fer
tilizer. We have used itsown broadcast

Practical Hints on Raising Cnlvos.
The important point in raising calves
is to give them a good start, for which
purpose nothing efiuils milk as it is
taken from tho cow. Though some peo
ple practice separating the calf from the
cow the dny after it is dropped, it is gen
erally preferred to let it run with the
cow for four or five days, takiu t nil the
milk it will. At least ih s period should
elapse after a calf is dropped before the
milk will be fit for use a human food.
After separating the calf from the cow
new milk rhou'd I e literally fed for
two weeks, and if this can be continued
even longer it is advisable. No substi
tute for new m'lk should be given under
two weeks. After that, howevei. moro
economical food may bo -compounded,
if desired, and the calf will St. II thrive.
If skim milk can now bo afforded, the
cnlf will thrive on liberal feeding.
Willurd says that if whey and oat
meal bo properly prepared it tan be
macle to serve as a very good substitute
for milk. The whey should be dipped
oil when sweet from the tat, then bring
to the boiling point aud turn it upon the
oil-meal. J ct the mixture stand till
night, then feed. In the morning whey
sweet from the at may be fed. At the
commencement a little less than a pint
of oil-meal per day will bo su liolent for
four calves. This may be gradually in
creased till each calf has a daily ration of
half a pint. At first it is better not to
feed calves all the whey they will drink
at a time. A largo feed of whey cloys
the appetite and deranges tho health.
A half pail of whey at first is
enough for a feed which may be iucreased
to three fourths of a pail and a pail as
the calf increases in age. Two tiiciili a
day, if the calf runs in a good pasture.is
sutlicient. Calves fed in this way ought
not to be weaned until they can get a1
good bite of after feed from the early cut
meadows. It is important to keep them
in a growing, thrifty condition with no
check. When weaucd earlier their
growth is often checked by reason of
short, dry or iunutritious feed iu pas
tures. When whey is not to be had for feed
ing young calves the following is some
times used : Take three cjuurts of linseed
meal and four quarts of bean meal
and mix with thirty eiiarfs of boiling
water, when it is left to digest for twtnty
four hours and is then poured into a
boiler on the fire having thirty-one
quaitsof boiling water. It is here boiled
for half an hour, Icing stirred w.th a
perforated pnddie to prevent lumps and
jnoduco perfect incorporation. It is
then set aido to cool nnd isgiven blood
warm. When lirst used it is mixed with
milk in small ouaiitity. The milk is
gradually decreased till they get tho
uiuciluge only. ludiun meal may be
used iu pluce of bean meal. Huckwhe.it
meal vooked into porridge aud added to
w hey is reported to have been used with
good results.
It is considered a desirable psoint to
hasten the maturity of the young animal
by good feeding and circi so that it will
come into milk at two years, as such
heifers make better nitkeis thau those
that coniu in nt throo years, besides the

Growing Clover.
Tho growing of clover is equal to
deep plowing, because its long roots
penctrnto deeply in search of food for
the stems ami icaves, which, if plowed
into tho land will undergo decomposi
tion nnd leave, nenr tho surfaco, ele
ments taken from the subsoil. Its Icaves
tnke carbonic acid lnrgoly from tho
atmosphere, and tho plowing in of th s
crop augments the rnrbon of tho soil
very materially, which changes its
color and gives it a greater enpacity to
absorb solar bent ami to retain mnnures
nnd ammonia, whether resulting from
their decomposition or absorbed from
the atmosphere. American AijcicnUurUt.

It is tnio that weeds still keep grow
ing, and must be destroyed that they
may not ripen feed to till the ground, to
the dctiiment of future crops. It is not
the labor to keep them down now that
it was while crops were smaller and did
not shado the ground. To go through a
field and pull up the larger weeds which
in some way escaped destruction at the
last hoeing, or with a hoe to cut up
those that aro starting in certain spots,
is not like the libor ol giving the field a
thorough hoeing. Then thoso which
fringo tho borders of the fields should I e
mown down, and the spots from which
tho early crops havo beeu taken should
be plowed or gono over with tho
cultivator, even though no other crop it
to be put in this fall."" Better tho land
should lie fallow than to bo growing a
crop of foul seeds to infest the neighbor
ing soil.
then thoro are weeds nnd bushes in
the pastures nnd along tho roadsides to
bo mown elown. Let them lie where
they fall until dry enough to burn, and
then apply the match, so thnt the firo
may assist in destroying tho sprouts that
may start from the roots. With tho first
growth cut down, nnd tho second burned
down, tho third, if thore shall bo ono,
may bo so fechlo and tender ns to be
destroyed by the winter. Thoso weeds
which aro su'llcicntly mature to ripen
their seeds should also be destroyed by
fire if it can be done. If not they should
be subjected to the gentle heat of tho
compost heap. .lirrwii Cul ictt r. -

After the sweet corn has been thor
oughly picked, there is nothing better
tlun tho stalks or fodder for keeping up
the production of milch tows. Cut for
each day's feeding the duy beforo aud
let it lie and wilt lor twenty-four hours.
Caulillowcts and such vegetables
should be set ou. toward night or on a
clay when the sun docs not shine, nnd
wed soaked with water. This gives
them a chance to come up through the
night aud tl.cy will not wilt so badly
next day.
Tacking the soil by rolling after sow
ing seed is not beneficial. On the con
tra; y the land is in jured iu dry weather,
as n crust forms over the seed and the
surface cir.e:s, thus checking the growth
of the young plunts. Thorough harrow
ing after tho sowing packs the soil suffi
ciently. In a wet time the sheep, especially tho
fine woo led, should be cio-cly examined
to sec if they have any muggots in their
wool, hatch d from the eg s of the blow
fly. Thcso maggots can be killed by
bhearing oil tho wool and washing the
hkin with tobacco juice or carbolic acid
diluted ten times.
Old hens may be, and should be fat
tened so as to be quite tender by proper
feeding now. They should bo put in a
yard by themselves and fed four times a
day on coarse oatiucnl boiled in milk so
as to make a thick stiff mush, and fed
when neaily cold. As much as will be
caleu clean should be given.
Kvcry weed that g.ows ncur a plant
takes from the soil the elements lor its
support, nnd struggles for existence with
the plants for that purpose. In the dry sea
son weeds will appropriate the moisture
that may bo le iiiireci for the desirable
plants. Tho best mot'ic of withstanding
the elTci'ls of drought, therefore, is clean
cultivation, wlitreby the erass and weeds
are prevented from injuring the crop
plau's.
Everyone who knows how to make
good butter also knows that the age of
tho cream has very much to do with the
butter s quality. Ih:s word age, how
ever, that writers nre so fond ot using, is
iu lact a relative term. ( renin may or
in iv not be old, according to its u''e.
If kept warm and dry, that is, in shallow
vessels, and allowed to be influenced by
a dry, warm atmosphere, then a very lit
tie age will make it old. If, on the cou
traiy, it bus teen kept sweet and cold
from the ti.no it left tho cow, the mere
mutter of age does not e it such an iui
poitaut figuie.

South American Canoes.
The Creoles of South Amorlcft call trie
ranoes unci! )y tho Indians "wood-
skins." 1 best boats are made of one
picco of bark, stripped from a species
of locust tree called purple heart.
I nlike the birch bark used by out
Indians, this bark is very heavy, so that
in tho event of a wood skin shipping
water to any great extent, it sinks
immediately. To make one of these
wood-skins, a largo purple-heart trco is
cut down, and the bark of the requisite
length is taken olT. A wedge-shapeci
piece is then cut out of the trough
shaped baik, from the top downwards,
at a distance of three feet or so from
bo'h ends on rne h aide.
The en Is ro then raised till the edeo
of the cuts meet, when holes are pierced
on e ther hand at a distance of six inchil
from the cut, and numbers of turns of a
strong withe, or liana, passed th ough
thrm, nnd mndo fast in a neat mnnnci
to a small, round slick placed along tin
inside.
Two strong pieces of wood fastened
nrross tho splits prevent tho sides from
closing in. Tho ends are then trimmed
down icvel with th') sides, and a ticklish
but serviceable littlo craft is turned out
Tho wholo process of making one ol
thcso wood-skins, including tho drying
of the bark, occupies a space of three
weeks. Wood-skins vary in sto, but
usually aro from fifteen to twenty-five
feet in leught, nnd an ordinary-sied one
will carry three or four people, with
their hammocks and provisions. Yotiti't
