HOW THE BUFFALO WAS DROWNED. .? A Texas Cowboy's Most Brilliant Feat of Roping. group of cattlemen at the Live j Stock Convention at El Reno were talk- j ing about the skill of the Oklahoma cowboys in throwing the lariat, when It E. Word, Sr., whose home is at Hlgglns, Texas, but whose cattle are mostly in Oklahoma, said: "I had an experience roping when I was a young man which put me through a lively gait. As a Texan who had followed the range all his life, I felt that there was not a bronco on top of the ground that could throw me, and nothing on four legs that I couldn't rope and tie. In the summer of 1871 I was on the Little : Arkansas River, five miles south of Wichita, Kan. I had a splendid horse, trained for the range and almost as in telL'gent as a man. One afternoon I j came suddenly upon five big buffalo j bulls that had wandered away from ' the main herd. I pulled my pistol, killed cute of them, and not having time to reload decided to rope one. Shortly ; afterward I found myself with a big . Job on my hands. - , "At the first throw my rope dropped j around the old bull's borns. Now, when ? . a buffalo makes up his mind to go : anywhere in a rush he travels in a glgC, straight line. You may be able to turn him a little, but in the main he will keep his course. That was what this bull did. He headed toward the Little Arkansas, with the evident intentlon of crossing it. My horse, ni^ w$ys fearless when handling cattle, ; 5 was timid when in close quarters with j war-. ? uuuuiu, ami i was uuauic iu j the bull, who soon bad me going south 1 at a lively clip. I was becoming of the opinion that the ony way out of Spgmy trouble was to cut my -rope and let the bull carry it off. J "The Little Arkansas is narrow in , places, while at no great distance away wfll be found pools four and five feet deep and from twenty-five to forty feet ; wide. The bull rushed headlong into nne of these pools. The opposite bank j ip; was perpendicular and about a foot j and a half above the water. Taking in j the situation quickly, I saw that I ! could run out my rope far enough \ to epable my horse to cross at a nar? row, shallow place. He jumped across bi fact ahead to keep going and jerked j the rope taut Just as the bull started v to climb the bank. The jerk pulled j the bull's nose into the water and his shaggy head against the perpendicular bank. He made a great uproar, but my horse held him there as in a vise. - Strange as it may seem, I succeeded In keeping that bull's nose -under water until he drowned. I always resarded this as my most brilliant feat ||p to roping."

Asparagus rust first came into notice in August, 1896, and at that time was confined to New Euglaud, New York, New Jersey aud Delaware. In 1897 it spread into the southern states. By 1898 it had spread westward as far as Michigan, and included Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and reoeutly it has been reported fonud m North Dakota. This example shows the extremely rapid growth and advance of the disease, aud also that it can be carried long distauces by the wind. Fields inclosed by forests and hills are not so exposed to rust as those in the open. Bust of this form cannot be treated like superficial fungi such as mildew. Spraying has not been found satisfactory as a care for asparagus rust, as has been shown by experiment on six kinds of asparagns with 10 applications. As a result, OQrtnronrno /rwnirnrc ova nnltirofin rr o ** Vfco HiV uuivAiMvtit^ o shorter and stronger growth. In some cases insects are found to feed npou the spores and are quite a substantial check upon rust No treatment ' of soil can be relied upon, and, in fact, little can be done when plauts are once infected. The last resort is to furnish the very best conditions for the growth of the plant High Platforms for Cleantlne*s. The first and most essential item iu order to produce milk that will be clean and free from stable odors is the stable and platform on which the cows stand. When I built my new barn last year, I pat the platform eight inches above the gutter, and the planks were sawed jnst fonr feet four inches from the stanchions to the gutter, with only one inch slant. The gutter is 20 inches wide and slauts back the thickness of a shingle nuder it on the sleepers. The scuttles aie back of it iu the main floor between every other sleeper. My stable is on the south side of the barn aud has a six-paue 9xld glass window every five feet For several hours in the middle of the day, the san shines directly on the cows' hind quarters. The droppings are hoed down three times a day, and the cows are carded aud cleaned off once a week. There is no manure on the ! platform or cows, and I hear no complaint of "cowy" milk among my customers. A two-inch plank platform is no good at all, a four-inch one is not enough, a six-iGcli one is better, but one eight inches high is jnst right, and it should not be over four feet six inches long for a large cow. At this height, keep it nearly level and I have seen no trouble in cows slipping oft?S. A. T., in New England Homestead. Advantage of Farmers' Institotes. Farmers' institutes are gradually growing in favor with the people. Their usefulness is no longer doubted by the progressive farmer. It brings men and women'from different parts of the county and state together with their experience and store of information upon the various branches of agriculture, horticulture, stock rais- . ing, dairying, etc. This information is freely given for the benefit of all. The information received at these institutes furnishes a short cut to many useful reforms ou the farm. Some of Iks mnot nTftirroQaivo formora nf tha tUC iUVO V VMW*(V V* vuv state are there as instructors. They teach us many things of value that might take ns years to find out by experience. We can hardly estimate the advautages derived at these institutes by those who attend and then put in practice what they learn. We get valuable information along the line of breeding and raising stocks of all kind?how to rotate our crops so as to keep up the fertility of the soil and to secure best results, how to dispose of or utilize the crops grown to realizs most money. J Iii addition to all valuable informa- I tion brought out by discussion and an interchange of thought at these farmers' institutes, they have a tendency , * to broaden the views of the farmer. It j < spread of this dreaded pest ou nursery stock. Grasshopper* Hefu?e Clover. A Kansas farmer makes the statement that last year he sowed his rye field about the middle of March, using eqAal parts of clover and timothy seed. He obtained a fair stand, bit during the month of June the grasshoppers came along and cleaned out the timothy but did not touch the clover. If this is the case throughout the West, that grasshoppers don't care for clover, it will be a big thing for those located in the sections where grasshoppers are abuudant. It is earnestly hoped that it is so, though no doubt the grasshoppers would take the clover upon being deprived of other food. Fall Catte* tli:> 1'esfc. Fall calves subsist largely upon milk, and take but little room in the shed; and there i3 more time in the winter to give them attention. They will be ready for the spring pastures, and make good progress from the Btart, and enter the barn in the fall again to get full benefit of solid rations there provided for them.

Starting i Strawberry Patch. When starting a strawberry patch select ouly young, red-rooted plaut6 for setting. For a family garden two first earlies, two medium aud two late varieties are sufficient, and one of each season wou'd probably be better. It is best to set strawberries iu tli9 spring. Early setting is not important, but they should be planted when the ground can be put iu good condition aud given clean cnltnre until late in autumn. Care shonld be taken to remove all blossoms the first season. Place the plants in rows fonr feet wide and 20 to 24 inches apart iu the row.

Farmers' Guide. Pow In the Home Shod? Every farmer should try to loam something about horseshoeing,enough at least to enable him to determine I whether or not his hot ses have been I correctly sho 1. In the trade of horseshoeing there are many incompetents, as is tine of every other business. The farmer that knows nothing about this important trade, really lacks the power of protecting his teams aga:nst iujury, and that, too, of a very serious ur ure? Many of the bail cases of lameness among horses are due to bad shoeing, and it is no uncommon thiug for the veterinarian called to look after a lame horse to order the shoe on the lame foot removed. The writer knows of one veterinarian that had the shoe from a lame horse removed, as it was the solo cause of the lameness, beiug more than a third of an inch too high on one side. The result was that the horse at every step had lamed his cords till tbey were reduced to sttch a condition that every step or even movement of the leg meant intense pain. How long do some of our horses suffer before we hud it out? The owner should see to it that the shoes are made to fit the feet of the horses and that the feet be not trimmed down to fit the shoe. It often happens that the blacksmith puts a red-hot shoe onto the foot, burning away the horn of the foot and in uring the quality of the foot beyond the part burned. If the shoe is too small he,nails it ou and theu cats ana pares ami hasps the foot down to it. Corns ou the horses' feet are too frequently due to had shoeiug, and the same may be said of interfering. The sale price of many a horse is lowered because of the appearance of some trouble that is, unknown to the owner, due only to ignorance ou the part of the man that put ou the last set of shoes. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to effect a cure of the defects that are so easily produced. Furthermore some of the things that have been brought on by bad shoeing can ouly be got rid of by skillful shoeing to offset them. We are sometimes led to the conclusion that we need qualified horseshoers about as badly as we need more qualified voterin^ rians. ? Farm, Field and Fireside. Farm and Garden Notes. Everyone who has a taste for entomology ought to keep bees. The farmer has many good friends, but none so faithful as clover. Mold from the woods is a big thing for house plants. Give it a trial Earthworms can be got rid of by giving the ground a liberal salting. The increased value of meat ought to be an encouragement to those who raise stock. It can never be expected that any animal will thrive without a proper amount of food. The farmer himself should attend to all matters pertaining to the packing aud shipping of his produce. In putting up a building in which to keep cows or milk special attention should be paid to ventilation. The average yield of potatoes is not half what it would be if proper methods were practiced by the farmers. A great denl of the trouble experienced in churning can be overcome by having the cream properly ripened. Strawberries will do well on almost any well-drained soil, so don't deny yourself or your family this luxury. The man who does not make it a point to see the sun rise every day is not the man for the farming business. When there is a deficiency in the hay crop it should be supplied by one or more of the numerous fodder crops. NEW PHASE OF COLD MINING. Dredging the Precious Ore From the Sea at Cape Nome, Our government is granting all rights to all applicants to dredge for gold in the sea off Cape Nome. Official authorization is necessary because it is illegal to carry on any enterprise within the three-mile limit that may interfere with navigation.and dredging could not be permitted till it was certain that the work would not be injurious to shipping interests. A number of companies and individuals are preparing to eugage in this enterprise, which is a new phase of gold mining aud the result of the novel conditions under which gold is fonnd in the Cape Nome region. Min- j iug wrs successfully carried on last year a ong the heach sands for a distance of thirty miles. The gold came originally from the quartz veins in the limestone and mica-schist mountains from four to five miles inland. In the course of many thousands of years of denudation a great deal of this goldbeariug quartz has been broken away anrl narriad orror?na lr liv R(7Anr.T down the gentle but continuous slope ] from the mountains to the sea. Much of the quartz, in the form of coarse gravels and boulders, has lodged in the tundra that intervenes between the mountains and the beach and it will pay for working, but the necessary crushing machinery has not yet been introduced at Cape Nome. Along the beach, however, the rock has been reduced by wave action to fine gravel and sand, and the heavier gold in fine particles, has sunk through the sand to a depth of two to five feet and is obtained by the ordinary appliances of placer mining. It was to be expected that under exactly similar conditions, the gold would be found under the sea for a considerable distance from the shore and last year's investigations proved that this was the (ase. Dredging is practical because the sea is shallow for a considerable distance from the beach and, in fact, the larger vessels cannot approach the shore, but are obliged to discharge their cargoes by means of boats aud lighters. The nearest harbors for ocean vessels are Port Clarence, sixty miles northwest of Nome City and Goloflin bay, the same distance east, and there is talk of connecting both these ports with Some City by rail Dredging, therefore, will not interfere with navigation ilong the gold coast, and there is jvery prospect that a rich harvest will ioe reaped from under the waters.?

Fdr Totir Glassware. tii ^Ashing glassware beware of placing it in hot water bottom down, for that is the time that an ominons sound will tell of a crack from sudden expansion. Very hot water will not hurt any piece of glassware if only the inside as well as the outside comes into contact with the wator. The best way to wash cut glass is to first put it iuto warm water in which a little soap has been dissolved and then rinse it in warm water to which au almost imperceptib'e amount of ammonia has been added. A soft rag for di ving and a small brush for polishing are nearly indispensable if you wish yonr cut glass to retain its brilliancy. Hlntft for the Kitchen, Cases of poisoning hare arisen through a careless disregard for the aleauliuess of the cookiug utensils or of their perfect condition. Directly a copper saucepan shows signs of being at nil worn it sboltld be retitined, and Ill any case nothing of an ftcnl nature should bo allowed to remain in it while coolinir. Tho same with regard to zinc and lead vessels, which are unsafe for cooking purposes. Those of tin, steel, iron or nickel are the safest to employ. Remember, too, that it is better to use a wooden spoon than one of metal when 'irring milk or soups,and that before using baking tins yon should grease them inside thorough'? either with butter or lard. In order to prevent them from burning it is as well to take the precaution of spriukiug the shelves of the ovon with salt, A Use Tor Oilcloth. In moving from one lioiae to another, carpets are often a source of worry to the prudent housekeeper, Sometimes they aro too large, but ofteuer tho room is a foot or two larger thau the carpet which must cover it. This may easily be remedied if the floors are good. But if they are too old for staining, straw matting is nsually the first thing the puzzled housewife turns to for aisistin co. A bright little woman, whose limited purse has taught to be an expert contriver, recently moved into a bouse. Hor sitting room carpet was much too small, leaving over a foot of bare floor on two sidss of Ihe room. The floor was too poor to admit of painting, and she did not wish to buy anything, so she set her wits to work. She found some old oilcloth in tho attic. This she tacked down with the wrong side up, painted it a dark red, gave it a coat of varnish, and the effect was that of a stained wood floor. The Care of Cage Birds. How and where will you keep yont bird? That cleanliness is obvious-ly of the first importance, and that it is hard to keep fanciful cages free from dirt and parasites, is enough to condemn them. Swiss cottages, j agodas aud the like, hung with pendants and sparkling with metallic ornaments, are both tasteless and dangerous. The bird will pick at the bright points and dangling spangles until it poisons or chokes itself, and the corners and crinkles are so many lodgings for dirt and vermin. Wooden cages are to be avoided because subject to impnrity, and brass ones on acconnt of the great' dauger from verdigris, for the gilding soon wears off. The gleaming wires are also harmful to a bird's eyes, and they offer no contrast with its yellow plumage. If you must have a cage of the popular bell shape get a painted one, and repaint it as often as seems desirable. Where you shall place your canary or other bird to good advantage is a matter to consider carefully. In summer he enjoys being out of doors or in an open window, but not in the direct hot sunshine, nor exposed to a shower, nor where dogs or cats,hawks or shrikes can seize him or perhaps frighten him to death. Remember that these little creatures may easily be frightened into illness or even death. ?Harper's Bazar. For tho Piazs t Plants. When choosing pots for piazza plants, as so many Dusy uonsewives are doing just now, great care sbonid be taken to avoid inharmonious color schemes. The decorated stone flower pots are picturesque in themselves, but when a plant, the hue of - whose blossoms wars with the color of the pot, is placed among the greenery it strikes a discordant note in the restful, pleasing effect a "bowery" piazza is supposed to produce. Plain jars are best for flowering plants, while palms look well in those which are ornamented with figures in relief. Leeds ware is inexpensive and the colors are clear and exquisite, those in deep yellow and pale blue being particularly desirable. There is also a deep, rich red bowl in this ware made in several sizes, in which palms aud other flowerless plants look superb, and the Tokonabi jars, terra cotta with a raised decoration in gold, are very desirable for drawing room use, as they harmonize with almost any surroundings. The blue and white Owari ware is also popular and well sqited to any of the d irk- oliaged plants. The custom which has prevailed of late of putting palms and rubber plants in the vestibules and on the entrance steps of houses as soon as the weather is mild enough to permit is a pleasing one, and very good for the plants, which have been housed so long, but when there are a number, and one bowl is yellow, another bright blue and another red, the appearance is much that of a shop with the various wares exposed outside for sale.

Few persons have any notion of the vast length of an army on the march. A. single battalion of Infantry, 1,000 strong?which Is the strength of an English battalion?takes up a road length of 523 yards, including about eighty yards for stragglers. A bat.tery of field artillery takes up 260 yards, and a regiment of cavalry takes when marching four abreast. 650 yards. An army corps, with its staff, wagons, guns, hospitals, etc., would extend over thirty-four miles of road. An army marches slowly on the best of roads. It is much more tiring marching in a crowd than walking alone. Soldiers go at the rate of about two and one-half or two and threequarter miles an hour, and in the Eng lisn army iney ao n goou aay b rnarcn when they cover thirteen miles. This accounts for the fact that when Hews is printed of an army matching to at: tack surprise is expressed that the at* tacked lnyed so long. It takes a day or more for all the men to assemble on the battlefield. The rates of march for the various arms differ, of course; but the fastest arm has to suit Its pace to the slowest. Here are the English official rates! Infantry in small bodies, three miles an hour; infantry in large bodies, two and a half to two and three-quarter miles; cavairy, walking, four miles; cavalry, trotting, nine miles, cavalry, galloping, fifteen miles; artillery, walking, three miles; artillery, trotting, eight miles. In our army the average march for infantry is front fifteen to twenty miles a day. When troops move in large bodies, and particularly in the vicinity of the enemy, the march is conducted In several columns so as to diminish the deprh of the column and to ek* pedlte the deployment into line of battle. In large commands the roads, If possible, are left to the artillery and trains. When long distances have to he covered rapidly, it is done by changing gaits. The most favorable ground is selected for the double time, but care is taken not to exhaust the troops immediately before engaging the enemy. *Yaathf?t Class!fleattoo.
