How Horses Are Obtained for
Uncle Sam’s Service.
The Government Owns More
Than 10,000 Horses.
•'Where does the United States buy
the horses for its army and other pur¬
poses ? ’
Tlie question was asked at IL.1I’*
Head yesterday, and John I’avmo ul,
ono of the best known horse dealers
in this section of tlie country, was im-
ablo to answer it; jet at the very mo¬
ment there was a young Lieutenant
of tlie United States cavalry on the
street, within twenty feet of Mr.
Itiymond, purchasing horses for the
Government.
"1 will tell you all about it," said
tho young efficor. "Tiie United S atis
has in Government stables llumighout
the country at the present time be¬
tween ten'ami twelve thousand horses.
That is 11:0 number inquired for tlie
cavalry, tlieOrdna .ee Department and
oilier branch' of the Army. They
arc carefully selected animals, well
cared for and well groomed, nnd the
mortality among them is annually not
more than 5 per centum. ThU small
percentage is remarkable, when it i-
eonsideied that in some of (lie fat
Territories the work required from tlie
horses is very exacting indeed.
••In Arizona, for example, more of
the Government horses die in propor¬
tion to t .cir number than in any oilier
section of tlie country, and it is n
cations fact that many of tlie horses
there grew blind, and thus become
uselet long before they die. That is
one of the effects of the alkali plains
on (lie animals. Besides the 5 per
centt m which die, about 10 pot¬
een tun of the remainder are annually
sold by tlie Government because of
their having become useless for tlie
services for which they are required.
"This makes it necessary for the au¬
thorities to purchase annually about
two thousand horses, and Congress
provides for this expenditure by ap¬
propriating about $‘200,000 for tho
purpose of paying for Hie horses pur¬
chased. The amount is divided among
tlie various military departments by
the Secretary of War, and, as the
Western divisions of Ihc army need
more horses than we do here on tho
Atlantic roast, the bulk of the money
goes out Wes?, nnd most of tlie horses
for tlie Government aro purchased in
5t. Louis, t-'t. Paul and Ban Francisco.
"Xot every horse will do for Gov¬
ernment service,” continued the Lieu¬
tenant, “for the War Department
makes specific rules to govern tho pur'
chase of tlie animal. They aro re¬
quired to be geldings, solid color
throughout, from 15 to 17 hands high,
between four and eight years of ago,
and must weigh for artillery horses,
b'etwceti 1,000 and 1,300 pounds, and
for cavalry horses, between 900 and
1,200 pounds. A government horse
asually lasts about sev- ii years and at
the end of that time is sold at auction,
if lie lasts that long.”
"Do the horse dealers know Hint,
yon are purchasing animals for tho
Government?”
••Indeed they do not,” said the
Lieutenant, smilingly, "if they did
they would run Hie price up on me
far beyond what they do now, when l
am buying apparently as a private in¬
dividual."’— [New Y’ork Star.
Where Border Life Lingers.
There are many evidences of Far
Western life in Ilcadwood. The sa¬
loons are wide open, as also are tlie
concert halls and tlie gambling rooms,
but while all these are tolerated they

DRESSING DUCKS FOIl MAKKKT.
Growers of ducks us well us house¬
keeper, will be interested in the fol-
lowing from two corespondents of
the Cockier:
You ask for an easy way to dress
ducks. Immerse in scalding water and
shake well into the feathers; remove
and wrap in a flannel cloth so ihc steam
cannot escape; let it lay about ten
minutes, and you can romovc the down
with ilie feathers.
My method of dressing is to pick
tlie feathers dry, then iinmerso the
duck in hot water and roll in blanket
for live or ten minutes, when tho down
will coino ill' nicely.
HOW TO CONTROL THE FLOCK.
Upon (lie ordinary farm, says the
Germantown Telegraph, where sheep
arc kept, but in limited numbers and
without shepherd, it is of considerable
importance lo be able to control ihc
flock. This is very successfully done
by taking a ewe lamb nnd bringing it
up by hand. Always exercise kind¬
ness toward it, give it a name and
teach it to come at tlie call of its name
by giving it a few kernels of grain of
tome kind or some food that it is par¬
ticularly fond of. When grown turn
it with ihe flock, and when they are
wanted n call of tlie cosset by name
will bring it, and the rest of the flock
will follow. This is a peculiarity of
sheep; when one starts all the rest
will follow, no matter in what direc¬
tion they go, so if one is taught to
come at. call the others will follow,
and this save, the trouble of trying to
teach the entire flock, and will be the
means of saving many Steps.
WOMEN IN TUB APIARY.
At (lie recent convention of Ohio
bee-keepers tlie question of women’s
help in apiaries was discussed. Tlie
gist of the opinions expressed are here
given. Dr. Mason would rather not
havo tlie women around, while F. A.
Eaton cannot get along without tlie
help of liis wife, and slie will do tlie
work up in better shape than ho can.
While he is doing the heavy work his
wife puts foundations in sections, and
does a great deal of other light work.
11. F. Moore finds that women are the
best hands (o keep tilings in order.
Dr. Mason (in reply) knows timt
women are « wonderful help, but, to
be serious about it, many men are
killing their wives to keep from hir¬
ing, and lie thought too much of liis
wife for that—except, perhaps, at
swarming time. Dr. Miller said that
if lie goes out to the apiary without
the women ho cannot fit d anything,
and when he wants to go home all the
tools are scattered around (lie yard.
Women straighten things up hotter
than men do, and keep them in better
shape.—[New York Witness.
A CROP FOR MARSIIFA.
If will pay well to improve marshes,
lowlands, ponds and streams of water
that have mud bottoms by sowing with
wild duck’s rice (Zizania aquatica,
Indian rice, water oats.) It is a i an¬
nual, will spread all over marshland,
and does not freeze or die out. Horses
and cattle will eat its luxuriant growth
of leaves as freely as young sugar
corn, and it is excellent for fattening
slock of all kinds, fed cither green or
cured. Tlie seed is absolutely sure to
grow, flourish a id return a generous,
heavy yield, and is always a sure for¬
age crop. N'o plant yields so heavily,
so abundantly, so easily, so surely, so
continually, as wild duck s rice.
Wild rice also does w il in ponds
nnd streams. It sli uld be planted in
August or September, broadcast from
tlie shores, or from a boat in one to
eight feet of water having a mud bot¬
tom. It grows very rapidly. As an
attraction for wild fowl it cannot be
equalled. A friend writes: "It
brought me more good meals on the
table than if I had butchered my fat¬
test calf.” Wild ducks are very fond
of wild rice, and an acre of it will af¬
ford attraction and food for thousands
of them during tlie autumn months.
They can easily be caught iu tho tall
wild rice §talks. In large ponds and
lakes it purifies the water and affords
refuge for small fry, with plenty of
food from tho animate il® upon its
stalks. For planting in fishponds, it
is especially desirable; tho stalks in
tlie water are continually sought by
fishes.—[Farmer J ltevie w.
A WORD FOR TIIE GUINEA FOWL.
The Guinea fowl, which, from its
ordinary habits and the quarrelsome
nature of tlie male bird, is, as a rule
unpopular, 1ms an advocate in a Ivew
England woman, who, writing iu the
Poultry Journal, has the following to
say in ifs^favor:
"A flock of Guinea fowls is a great
adjunct to the farm. They make the
best sort of watchmen, and never fail
to uotifv the farmer of liitrlit thieves
or poultry stealer*. There i» a profit
in Guinea fowls, too, considering the
small amount of care nnd expense at.
belied to keeping them. As a rule,
Uio Guineas prefer to pick up most of
(1 .elr living, and they should have a
| B rgo placo over which to range. It is
necessary to feed them n little every
day, otherwise they will wander away
fl . om t | 10 farm and take up their head -
quartcrg elsewhere,

1( jr,. ca ( number of grass seeds, as web

consume an enormous amount of grubs
nnd insects, however, which is u great
point in their favor. 'Without any
special fattening tliev become plump

wlion game goes out of tho market.
They are generally killed for market
between February and April. They
bring fair prices at such seasons of the
year, and often return big profits to
the grower. The Guineas always steal
(heir nests in the nearest hedge or
w oods, and in laying-ti no'it is neces¬
sary to look pretty carefully to find
them.”
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Save all tlie corn and stalks this year.
Strong lye cleans (ain.cd pork bar-
rcls.
Keep botli stock and farm on the
gain.
Fill the silo as rapidly as possible in
the latest order.
Calves as well as colts should be
Uught to lead while young.
Push tho lambs now for growth and
fat before the frost comes.
Perfect drainage is indispensable for
health and profitable farming.
Don’t forget to have salt where all
the stock can have free access to it.
The overdraw check is cruel. Bet¬
ter sacrifice "style” than your fine
feelings.
We are learning that many dairy
theories once thought tenable will not
hold water.
Tlie western farmer can increase his
stock with more clover to mix with
the corn stalks.
If yon have a muck-bed on your
farm get some under cover for use in
stable this winter.

Scientists have said that ensilage is
a good cow feed, and they agree with
tlie verdict of tho farmers and the
cows.
Ensilage is a good feed, but all en¬
silage is not alike; it is not yet known
wlrnt all (lie conditions arc that insure
success in filling the silo.
Wo aro learning something new
about it every year, and it seems to be
the general opinion that the silo will
become a necessity to tlie stockman.

and from what we now know can

number of tilings we do not know.
The Hippopotamus, or lliYcr Horse
This enormous animal is a native of
Africa. Its legs are very short fn pro¬
portion to its huge body. Its mouth
is immense, and full of great broad
teeth, each of which will weigh six oj
eight pounds.
It is a g; eat pest to (he inhabit ants
of its native country, coining by night
out of the river, where it lies all day,
and eating tip or tramping down
whatever crop may be growing in the
neighborhood, it lias a wonderful ap¬
petite and a stomach to correspond,
as tho latter will hold five or six
bushels. But, in spite of its tierce ap¬
pearance and giant teetii it only eats
vegetable food. It could not bo
induced to eat iambs and calves and
chickens, etc., as my merry girls an.I
boys do.
It is a clumsy and waddling creature
on land,but in the water its movements
are swift and easy. It can stay under
the water fifteen minutes or more
without coming up to breath. Tho
mother hippopotamus is very fond of
her babies, nnd during tho first few
nion lis of their lives they stand upon
her thick neck and she carries them
about with tier wherever she goes.
The hippopotamuses live in herds
and aro harmless unless attacked. But
their snorting* and bellowing*, as they
tumble about in the rivers at night,
are said to be the most frightful noises

How Fnele Sam Cleans Hi* Brass.
The method prescribed for cleaning
brass and in use in all the United Spates
arsenals is claimed to be tho best in the
world. The plan is to make a mix¬
ture of one part common nitric acid
and one-half pint sulphuric acid iu a
stone jar, having also ready a pail of j
fresh water and a box of sawdust. I
The articles to bo treated are dipped
into the acid, thrown into tho water
and finally rubbed with sawdust. This
changes them into a brilliant color im¬
mediately. If the brass has become
greasy it is first dipped in a silking so¬
lution of potash and soda iu warm
>
water; this cuts the grease so that tlie
acid 1ms full power to act.— [Brooklyn
Citizen,
Itcminlscenscs of Fremont.
General Daniel Sickles, in (lie
of a talk about the Into General
C. Fremont with a New Y'ork
reporter, says:
“I flrst met Fremont in
during 1855, when I was attached
tho American Embassy under
Iluclmnan, then our Minister to the
Court of St. Janies. While in com¬
mand of his Mounted Itifles in Cali*

gave his notes for tin amount, ’ in
Which was stipulated tlintilicy wore to
bear the rate of interest customary in
that section. Ho did not know that
1 he usual rate was5 percent, a month.
Subsequently Fremont went to Eng¬
land for tlie purpose of selling largo
tracts of lands, nnd as I lie notes rc-
. 11 ,uiued unpaid his creditors followed
him and obtained judgments to the
amount of $54,000.
'•Fremont could not pay, so lie was
clapped in o the debtor's prison, and
Minister Buchan in was appealed to.
As It was really a government debt,
Buchanan induced Baring Bros, to be¬
come security, and Congress finally
passed nu appropriation to ijiect (lie
demand. Fremont also got into trou¬
ble in France, for tlie French people
could not see that liis forecast of tlio
future of California was a reasonable
#ne, and they looked upon him as a
wild-eat schemer. I think there were
edicts issued for his arrest. Fremont
was a man who had large
ideas, hut he could not grasp tlie ne¬
cessary details. In the beginning of
the civil w r he was sent to Missouri,
in order to organize troops, and wlion
lie sent in his accounts, amounting to
over $100,000, (lie old army officers at
Washington were simply paralyzed,
because they had grown accustomed lo
tiie expense of small armies.
"I was tlie indirect means of extri-
caling Gen. Fremont from the charge
of extravagance. Among the items of
expenses for raising the Excelsior
Brigade were $500 for ice, $500 for

Washington by Secretary Stanton, who
fold me that these items were absurd
and would not bo paid. When I ex-
plained that the barber had given my
recruits baths as a sanitary measure
,„e Secl.iT eoneonled „ w .hebin.
But he insisted that not even Marl-
borough or Napoleon would ask for a
$5u0 tent, as I had. My answer to
this was that the tent was an old cir-
cus one, capable of sheltering 1000
men, and had obviated the necessity
for building a barrack* costing $8000.
Stanton was satisfied, and ho also paid
for my ice and refrigerator when I
proved that by its use the Government
liad saved several thousands of dollars
in spoiled beef. Up to this time Fre-
mont’s accounts had caused him a great
deal of trouble, but when Stanton sent
for him everything was satisfactorily
explained.”
Racing Bullocks in India.
In India the favorite animals, both
for speed and for endurance, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, are the na¬
tive bullocks. The animals are small,
wiry, muscular and swift. They are
trained to race and run well, not only
under the saddle, but in harness. Tho
Indians are fond of racing their
beasts, and the sport is cncotuaged by
(he English part of the population.
The animal is guided by a cord
through tlie nose, but the driver places
more reliance on whip and voice than
on tlie cord. Tlie Indians are natural
gamblers, nnd will bet their last rupee
on tlie result of a race, taking so much
interest in it that a penniless native has
been known to wager liis liberty and
that of his family for an entire year
and sell himself into involuntary
slavery, as the result of losing a bet.
Tlie races are frequently attended by
serious accidents, from tlie fact that
although (lie bullocks may be trained
to great swiftnesss, it seems almost
impossible lo teach them to run in a
straight line. They will bunch to¬
gether, and thus frequently smash one
or more of the vehicles.
Excitinq as are tho bullock races
when the beasts arc harnessed and
driven by native drivers, they are far
more so when tlie bullocks are ridden
by European soldiers or sailors. The
chief danger in a race of this descrip¬
tion lies in the falls which are the al¬
most inevitable result of an attempt to
ride these awkward animals.
Care of the Eyes.
It is a point of tlie first importance
that any weakness, defect or uneasi¬
ness of the eyes should uot be neglect¬
ed, but that the oculist should be at
once consulted, Headaches which
come on after sewing, reading or
otherwise using tho visual organs in a
special direction for a long period of
time, are usually the direct results of
ocular defects, To some people
glasses are a revelation, revealing
powers mid beauties of vision never
before known to exist. Glasses not
only increase the power of vision and
greatly relieve the work of the eye,
hut they actually prevent the occur¬
rences of certain diseases of the eye,
and of reflex affectations in other parts
of tlie body, and effect tlie preserva¬
tion of good vision throughout life.
