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."

Holding San Jose Scale In Check.
! The Sau Jose scale is widely distributed
and cau never be exterminated.
For many years it will remain
a contant menace to fruit growing.
We believe that the weight of evidence
shows that it can be held in check as
thoroughly as is the plum curculio or
I the codliug moth. Those who set
' fruit of any kiud in the future should
i insist upon all the stock being funi*eated.

is well to prevent the plants from setting

by pulling off"runners after
the plants hare set sufficiently heavy.
Control of Apparajcns Host.
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,

cases insects are found to feed npou

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

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

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 <

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 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.

varieties are sufficient, and one of

but they should be planted

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

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.

AN ARMY ON THfi MARCH
A SInfle Corps Extends Over Tblrtyfoer
Miles of Road.
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.
