Cattle Prince. A uiragih that M r. King, of TexiiH, the Urgent owner of enttlo In the world, hns lately iwtit 80,(H)0 rattle to market and ttmt seventy lierdnman wore re quired to cure for them, lias called atten tion to Mr. King's career, which la a most remarkable one. TIki name of this Texas millionaire, wyg the (!olumtus, Git., Enquirer, Ulchard King. The river men call him "Mftck." He was born In New York, and about the yetr 1840, came from Pittsburg to the Chattahoochee river as Btewnrdon the steamboat Tttllapoona. We are told thnt In those days, and years after, the average life of steamers on our river was three to four years, and that it was customary for the captains, who reHlded in the West, to carry their bouts to Plttslwrg for the summer for repairs, and return in the fall. They received enough freight on the round trip to pay expenses. It was the era of large float ing palaces,flide-wheclcre,now superseded by light draught stern-wheelers. There were no railroads. Everything went to Apa!achicxIa,and river men made barrels of money. Mr. King in the position of steward plied the river several years. One gentleman remembers lie was second cook in 1841. Later he went to Tampa, Florida, and in a short time he was engaged in service on Government boats. Returning to Columbus, he become striking pilot under Captains Charlie Brockway and Wingate. Altogether ha was on our rivers some seven or eight years In every subordinate positions. About the middle of 1840 he, with Mr. John Pealey and others, went to Texus, and he became a pilot on the Rio Grande, on the steamer Convettc, commanded by Captain Kennedy. Engaging in speculation soon made him a partner. He bought a ranclic, and the property increasing year by year, he now counts his stock by the hundreds of thousand and his possessions by millions. He owns a magnificent residence in Western Texas, and miles of the best land In the Htate. Ho continues as a steamboat owner. The poor steward of thirty" years uko is among the moneyed princes of llie land. Fact is more marvellous than fiction. He has now a large family, and is giving hi children the best of educa tions. Mr. King is very kind, friendly and generous to his friends of the " days of yore." One visited Texus since the war, and he gave hlnfimtf u fine steam boat, and all he entertains with a hospi table welcome. They still call him "Mack." His wealth Is estimated from two to seven millions. He wrote one of his friends since the war that he had just finished building a fence 40 miles In length, and that it cest him $1,000 a mile. Those who know say cattle Increase in value one-third every year. Here is a man of brilliant success. When on our river he was not noted for special economy, but had his fun like the "other boys," and sent his money as freely. It is one of those Instances where brains and pluck see the oppor tunity, take advantage of it, roll up their sleeves, go in and win. The open ing was Texas, the time the Mexican war, the man found both and found there was millions in it. He partly, though, drifted into enormous luck. How to Color Butter. The best coloring for butter is u good mess of corn chopped with cut hay. My butter Is a rich yellow all the year round from this food, and I have no Alderney or any other funcy stock, but common cattle, which give an Abundant supply of milk and butter: good food is the secret. If farmers feed on dry fod der and straw, and want yellow butter, they must use what some of my Alder ney friends do a small quantity of annatto, costing ten cents an ounce, enough for several hundred tound of butter. Dissolve in a little warm cream; add a few grains of soda, which develops the peculiar yellow principle of all the coloring mutter for butter. Do not Allow the Frogs to be Pared. The frog of the foot of every horse is the natural suport of the foot, ar d should never be cut away except to remove the' rough edges which occasion 1I.V Pear from common wear. At a late meeting of the farriers and horse slioers in Wilmington, Del., there was a fcreat deal said in condemnation of the maimer in which horses are shod, especially in the rural districts. A lecturer, a veterinary surgeon (according to the New York Herald), wit) that "the frojj of the foot was often pared away ho itrtMJeally to make a neat job that the tendon or muscle that extended down the leg, over what Is known as the pulley hone, anil gave the foot ils mo tion, was often injured, and then the hofse would be weak In the legs, and blunder. He severely characterized the habit of burning the hoof with a red hot shoe to make It fit, and said there ought to be a law passed to hang any blacksmith who would use red hot shoes In this way. The shoes should be fitted to the shape of the foot, rather than the foot fitted to the shoe." UI.ATCIILKY'H Improved CUCUMBBH WOOD PUMP, Tasteless, Uuriitile, HI tluient and Cheap.
