ConiuiHiiiontcd. Editor KICPUUUOA.N : We are having oold dayn for the laot of Maroh , as my oxporionoo tells. I lull Broken Bow on the 28th of March to visit ( Join ratio U. I ? . Morrow - row , who was unughl in our last heavy snow storm on his way home from the Bow. HIH great coat bo oamo wet with soft snow , and then it turned oold and froze HO that his wagon wheels would not turn , and ho had to drag his wagon for the last throe miles as a Hied. lliu ovorooat would aland alone , and ho had to take hot water to thaw the ioe 'from ' his harness , so that ho could got them unbuckled. Friend Morrow became HO chilled that ho was confined to his bed for ton days or two weeks. Ilo IIVOH near what is called the old Black Kaneh , and I was politely invited by Master Roy Montgomery to visit and note what improvements they have boon putting on the ranch. What took my attention most was the largo gasoline engine used to pump wat er , out food and griud g.aui. Ev erything is handled by the wagon load and from dumps. No shoveling - ing is required , only to till feed troughs in food yards. Everything ia nicely painted and in ship shape , except the cattle , which 8"om to l have the scab or Texas ttoh , which they are trying hard to eradicate , -y-r > , - ' f i lmt a herd oi 300 head is quite a number to take care of ; don't think cattle of all agen do well to run together - gothor , but Mr Montgomery will spare no pains to have his oattlc in good nhapo for spring. The road 4 ami fioldb are so sott or rough that he has to put four horses or mules to a. wagon to moye hay , grain , lumber or what is necessary to keep buHincas in shape. To fully comprehend the vast outlay of money expended , Mr. editor , you would have to visit the ranch and note the workings of the same for a wcok or moro. Wo think it would pay Home of thn croakers of No- brafikn to call and BOO what work can bo done in a day , when things are in shape for business. 1 did not inquire how many hogs and pigs they had , but thorn wore lots of them , and they seemed to bo doing woll. I am going to visit the ranch again when 1 oan have the privilege. YOUTH , C. P. 11. Kl'ISOOPAl , OlIUnOH.
