TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
A Point,About Poultry.
I was never so convinced of tho ad
vantage of raising chickens of uniform
size aud color, as during tho present sea
son, when nil mine are Plymouth Hocks
I had Boven broods hatched out within a

Waldo F. llrown, ofi Ohio,! is credited
w'th saying: "The fastest cows I ever
sold were milked every day |till s'augh-
trred, and had been milked over two
years each when sold.| I believe that
often the farmer or dairyman i would f nd
it profitable to give scqne richer ford to
cows while on ] n-furty nnd tjii* certainly
week or so of each other, this kept them
in growing up so nearly of the same si c
that their mothers could not distinguish
tho clutches apart, and being of a uni
form color and marking, all seemed alike
to them. I could thus arrange the coops,
in a row close alongside, and
would be the case when tho pastures aro
short from overstocking or drought.

; to give weight to our warning.
! The meat is packed in tins while raw,
j then sealed, and cooked, in an outer ves
sel of boiling water, with sometimes the
addition of u chemical, Jo raise the tem
perature. When cooked, the can is
! fierced, and, as soon ns the air and steam

proves a vacuum, which is natural, as
the meat shrink) when ;nonir isleftinthe

Pome may say, what matter if air be
left in tho tin? Simply this: nitrogen,
an element of air, imparts to bodies with
which it comes in contact a tendency to
change and decay.

good-, people ure heard to say “the air

Another caution, though: nlwayslook

ROCKY' MOUNTAIN SHEEP
GAME ANIMAL FOR THE MON-
TAPIA HTTNIERS TO SUCOT.
Seeking the Slieep in High Altltndes
—Their Foo l ami Habits—Catch
ing a Dig Hoi'll Alive.
Of all the game nntmnls in tho North
west, and particularly A.ontana, the Big
Horn or Rocky Mountain sheep, says
the Philadelphia Times correspondent,
writing from Fort Keogh, .Montana, fur-
ni-hes the most sport to huntsmen.
Chasing th: buffalo across tho plains
on horseback nnd killing them with a
revolver, which was nt ono time tho
favorite method of hunting tho bi^
Hairpins.
The business of hairpin-making scorns
only just beginning to amount, to any im
portance as nn industry in this country.
For years the English nnd French con
trolled their manufacture.
It seems that tho machinery used is of
delicate nnd intricate character, ns the
prices at which nins arc sold necessitate
tho most rapid and cheapest process,
which can only be secured by automatic
bison, used to bo tho nc plus ultra
Nitntodic amusement in Montana, but
s uce the buffalo have disappeared hunt
ers have drifted back in tLe mountains,
where the “Ovis Montana” are to 1)0
found during late years in the greatest
abundance.
There may be lots of fun scampering
over the prairie after a 1,500-pouna bull,
but th. te is the heat and violent exercise,
not to speak of the danger of your horso
plunging into a prairie dog hole and
sending yon downward to grass at an
nnglc of fifteen or twenty degrees. The
mountain sheep is nlwnys tound among
the peaks nnd cli:;s in cool altitudes and !
pretty near the limber or pcfprtunl snow
line. ’ The big-horn sheep of tho Rocky
Mountains is :t most difficult animnl to
bag. They nrc u-ually found in pairs,
often in flocks of from four to forty, and
lomctimc-i in bands of 100 or more. One ,
old sheep hunter living on Pryor's Fork,
near here, relates that ho saw not long
ago a flock of eighty-one sheep in tho
Bitter Creek Range, nnd about five yenrs
ago, while scouting through the Teton ;
Basin in Northern Wyoming, nenr the
soutitem boundary of tbo Yellowstone
National l’nrk, lie ran upon n bnud that
rnn-t lmvo numbeted over BOO.
Those animals range all tho way from
the Rio Grande to the Mackenzie, but at
limits nam d they are cxcoidingly scarce
and mo t difficult to kill. They abound
in tho Big Horn Mountains, whencothoy
ate named.
Very little is known of the hnbits of
this ruro game animnl, even by those 1
who have written on tho subject. They '
range, wir.t'T nnd suntraor nliko, in the 1
same latitudes and altitudes, only in j
summer they wander farther away than
in tho opposito casom. During the cold j
months they stay on the southern slopes
of tho mountains so as to ca’ch tho sun.
In the summer they arc generally found
on dll • h g’uor benches, whore tho bunch
gr.i-s and mountain clover arc abundant.
Among the peaks where they habituate, ,
one of the first things to appear in the |
sp.ing is the wild onion or leek, which
is cagorly sought out and devoured by i
them.
This wild plnnt impnrts to tbo flesh a
delightful flavor, nnd makes the meat of .
the liig hoin the most delicious in the
mountains. Tlioi greatest enemy is the
mountain lion. In fact tho principal
diet of the mountain lion is tne tender ,
offspring of the “Ovis Montana.” When
1 mbs are not to be had, the fierce North
American panther docs not object to
feasting on the patents. These rara I
sheep are also sub ect to n sort of stab
distnso, which, when it becomes epi
demic, sweeps off atslioit notice scorea
of them, old and young nliko. The
lambs nrc usually brought foithfrom tho
5th to tlie 20th of May.
Tho “Ovis .Montana” is adorned with
the most remnrkab e hend gear imagin
able in the shape of monstrous home.
These nro used by them for various pur
poses, but principally as a lueune of de
fence. Astonishing as it may Beein, they
nlso use their immense horns to assist
them in dcsi ending from ono lofty emi
nence to a lower. If in skipping from
crag to crag und from ridge to ridge,
should it become ncccsiary to mako a
jump downward, no matter what tho
height, they roll themselves up into a
kind of bull, vault out into the air, and,
machines. Tbo wire is mndc expressly
for the purpose nnd put up in largo coils,
which are placed on reels, and the end of
the wire is placed in a clamp which car
ries it to the machine while straightening
it; from there it runs in another machine,
which cuts, bends, and, by a delicate and
instantaneous process, sharpens tho
points. Running at full speed these ma
chines will turn out 120 hairpins every
minute. To economize, it is necessary to
keep them working night nnd day. The
difficult part of the work is the enamel
ing,_ which is done by dipping in a prep
aration anil baking in an oven. Hero is
where the most constant aud careful at
tention is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth nnd the enamel hnvo a
perfect polish. Tho slightest particles of
dust cause imper/ectious aud roughness,
which is objectionable.
One would think tin’s was a great deal
of fuss for a little thing. But there is
no one article of a lady’s toilet more im
portant to her comfort and convenience.
Its primary use is, ns well as wc
know, to hold in becoming nnd tidy con
dition woman’s silken tresses. But did
vou ever stop to enumerate nil tho scc-
' aid ary uses to which it is devoted?
Perhaps the most general work to
which it is devoted ns a substitute for the
imon-pure article is ns a buttoner. “Can
you get at a hairpin? I need ono to fasten
my glove,” wo often hear. It also serves
in tho same capacity for shoes.
Did you ever see a woman with nn un-
iait magazine in her hand, looking around
for an invisablo paper-cutter? Yes.
'Veil, then you have seen her comforta
bly sect herself at last, whip out her
hairpin from her tucked up hair, and
moothiv nnd deftly cut tho leaves with
:t. Haven't you? Of courso yon hnvo.
The gentlemen will tell you tho hairpin
ftm nets ns a tell-talo.
Every woman knows her own hairpins.
And if Bob’s sister Nell sees him with a
Bain kind of hairpin in his pocket, site
quizzically asks: “Bob, where did you
get ti at hairpin?” Then Bob attempts
to “cover" by replying: “Why, Noll,
that must lio the ono you gavo me last
week nt Mrs. Vnnderdeck’s ball to fasten
inv glove.” “Indeed, it is not. My
hairpins are all bent only once in tho
middle, nnd tlint is crimped in three
places. Don’t you think I know mv
own hairpins?" And if rho is tho least
bit given to slang, sho may nd I: “You
cannot deceive me that way. I know a
tiling or two sometimes. That’s tho
kind of a hairpin I am.”

in the w> stern part of the teriitory, will
seem mast strange nnd sur| rising. Tho
etory comes well authenticated, and there
can* be no question about its veracity.
Mr. Baker actually accomplished tho
singular feat of catching and holding by
his unuid el strength u wild Rocky
Mountain sheep—a ewe. Ho enme upon
herntthe foot of a sloping bank which led
up to a strep but not very high cliff of
rimrock. llisdog, of the hepberd breed,
trained for hunting, was following, and
when it saw the sheep pursued it up the
bank to the cliwhere it stood at bay,
making demonstrations at tho dug, which
was prompt in returning them.
Mr. B iker sent a man. who accompa
nied them back to the house, a quarter
of a mile away, for n gun. While lie was
away Bake * made a sneak” m tho
sheep and came around on top of thecliff

still occupied with the dog From this
vantage point ho dr q ped astride of its
back, ai d :rn ping it around the neck
with his arm, held it firmly; but tho
wild denizen of the mountains was not to

began in which Mr. Bilker nnd the uheep

were not separated. Just ns they reached
