His name was Phineas Ellsworth, but we boys at -the "HX Ranch" called biro "Billy Bragx" for reawms which ten minutes' conversation with him would make obvious, even to a total stranger. To say that he wa opinionated fa drawing it very mild, wl to state th.it the chiefest or his opTu'qns was the fiarticularly excel lent one he held of himself, is super fluous. Those were humdrum, monotonous days at the "HX," and there was scant opportunity for Billy to exhibit the courage, process, skill, ubility, and so forth, which we had his own oft-repeated statements for it--he possessed to a remarkable degree. Once in a while, ' something would bappen to relieve the monotony; but Billy, somehowor other, was never on deck to show what he was worth. He, always turned up afterward with: "Huh! vou galoots jes make me ache all over! Wy, any bloomin' tender foot c'd a tol' ye better'n that!" or, "That wuz a fool trick! Now, ef I'd be'n tbar, I'd a did so and so " or, "Huh! dye call that anythin' ter menshun? JV'y, back thar, on th' Keya Paha, we used t' let th' kids an' wimmen do hat kin' or work!" And so Jt went on for nearly a year, and, though we invented many a plan to give Billy an opportunity to show his worth, he managed, on one pre text and another to keep out of our snares. One day, Cale Snelling, who was out looking up some strays, fell in with a Maverick steer feeding in a coulee, and, thinking at first that it was an "HX" "critter," rode toward it. But the beast was what is known as a "bad un," and, horns down and bel lowing with rage, he turned and charged on the startled cowboy. Cale tried to turn his pony and run, but the animal was green, and only reared and snorted. Cale thought he was about to take a place herding clouds; but he yanked his gun and let go, catching the steer right between the eyes, and dropping it not more than ten feet away. Cale was a bit new in the business, and be was rather pale when he rode up to the ranch and related his ex perience, but there was a triumphant tone in his voice as he told of his suc cessful shot from the back of a buck ing pony. Billy listened with a superior air. "Huh!" he remarked, disdainfully, "whadje wanter kill Mm fcr? Ye c'd jes 'z well 'creased' an' roped Mm. Some folks never hev no r'gard fcr prop'ty. Waste not, want nothin'." We all groaned and proceeded to congratulate Cale on his luck, but Billy did not seem to care. He was getting used to our irreverence. It may be noted, however, that when we tried1 next morning, to get Billy to take a shot at a blanket nailed on a shed-door, to sec how near he could have come to ''creasing" a- mad steer from the back of a fool pon', our proposition met with scorn. "There ye go agin," said Billy. "What's th' blame use o' wastin' er whole lot o' ca'tridges jes' V convince er mess o' gabblin' egiots thet er thing kin be did? AWjgooffan'trypoundin'san' in rat-hole fer yer wits. But ye carn't even do that. " And he rode off much offended. When Joe Fleming, brother of the boss, and Hanlc Barr had a brush with half a dozen Indians, and just es caped with their liveSjlcaving a bunch of fat cattle to be run off by Uncle Sam's dear sweet proteges, Billy's opinion was at once forthcoming. "Huh ! Ye raout jes' 'z saved mos' o' th' critters an' got them thievin' red cusses, too. W'y didn't ye, w'en ye seed 'em ridin' down on ye, jes' kill three 'r four critters, pile 'em up fer a barricade, an' give th' red devils reg'lar h 1? That'd ben better'n losln' th' hull bunch." When Bob Hall, cowboy from the "3-Bar," the next ranch one of the meanest, ugliest, most quarrelsome bullies who ever flourished a gun got killed at the hotel in town by an un offending tenderfoot, whom he had tried to compel to take a drink, Billy, as usual had something to say. ' 'Huh! That's them tenderfeet all over. They think if er man tries t' hev fun with Jcm out hyar, thet they've got t' 6hoot, an' shoot quick. Th' galoot oughter've jes' took Bob Hallb' th' scruff o' th' pants an' kicked 'rthrowed 'im out, an' Bob 'd've pollygized too quick. Bob Hall never bad no sand." All the same, there was an old story to the effect that once, when Billy had been unaccountably absent from the. ranch for three or four days, he had been in town, devoting considera ble attention to keeping out of the billigerent Mr. Hall's way. But Billy's opportunity came one day. He had been laid up a week and was still lame as the result of be ing, on the side next the ground when his pony stumbled and fell one day,' and was sitting at the door one morn ing about 11:30, when the stage came, along. Several of us were in the ranch-house, and were somewhat sur prised to hear the wheels outside, for the stage-road was two miles from the ranch. As we crowded to the door, we saw "something was up, "for Dyer, the driver, looked excited. "Mornin', . gentlemen," he said. And tben,toUoss Fleming: "Flem ing, I expect t' be held up over b' Five-Mile Creek. Kin one o' th'boys go with me? I'll get Inothcr man at Parker's,' an'. . reckon thrce'U be 'nough."' . v "Why, yes; of course," was the re ply; "you can have more, if you want 'em.- rn go myseir. iiut wny didn't you .bring guards, if you're carrying any valuables?!' 'Dyer explained. The night before be had noticed three suspiciousook ing characters in town, and observed that they eyed hbai considerably. This morning he had started early, hoping to pass all the places favorable to a "hold-up" before the three tough looking'gchtlemen had time to get located.-- He had felta bit backward about: bringing guards, as tie did not like to appear cowardly, and, besides, his suspicions -might he groundless, arid the laugh vw.uiii be on him. There were no .!..tios except the Btii-bagV But the three strangers had passed him ft mile back, evidently ifra hurry to get somewherei hence his visit td th"HXiH . . .. i . Fleming turned to get .ready to go hewasnotthe man to send some body else Into danger bat .was met atthe.doorby Billy, heeled" with tworevolvers and a Winchester. "Hullo, man!" ejaculated Fleming. "Didn't :you hear me say I was going?" ; . . "Dbtf t care ef ye did," j answered Billy,, curtly. "Th's plenty Work t do, an' my laigs is too stiff t' straddle any blame brohco. And he climbed painfully up on to the driver's seat, and the stage rolled away, leaving us .staring at each other, unable to .be lieve our eyes. The stage did hot reach the Five Mile, nor did it reach Parker's. At a place two hilles'west of the "HX,U where the road traversed -the edge of a bluff overhanging a deep ravine, there were three shots fired, and brave Walt Dver and his two team-leaders fell into the road. Then there Were more shots a rattling fusillade ibr two or three niinutes-then slifcnce. When we got lo the scene, Wd saw Billy Brag lying across the body of the "driver, supporting himself on one elbow, and keeping "the drop" 09- man who stood holding up one arm the other was shattered, and hung limp. Two dead men, besides Dyer, lay in the road. The wheelers were quiet now, but their hoofs had cruelly mangled the bodies of their prostrate comrades in front. "I knowed ye'd come, boys,5 said Billy, "else I'd a hed t' kill this 'un, 'stead o' savin' 'im fer a leetle necktie party. They got Dyer, fust lick, but w'en they run up agin Phin Ellsworth, they kctched er h 1 ov er feller. Guess I kin 'die off, real peaceful, now." But he did not die. With a ball in his leg, another traveling around somewhere on his inside, and a wound in his throat which causes his voice to bread in a ludicrous way, he still lives and brags of this very exploit. They Fellow! Cory. In the days when merchant vessels came home redolent of spices and loaded to the brim with silks and china, a certain family, described by Miss Leslie in her "Pencil Sketches," determined to send beyond seas for a dinner service which should outshine in oeauty everything thus far seen on this side of the Atlantic Original designs of fruit and flowers, arranged in the form of a wreath, had been made for it by a skillful artist, and the sea-captain who undertook the commission was charged to spare no money or pains in having it properly carried out. Spring returned, and there was much watching of the vanes by this particular family, and the ship-news furnished the most interesting column of the dally papers. At length the long-expected vessel arrived, and when she had cast anchor, the ladies of the family could scarcely refrain from walking down to the wharf, to see the ship that held the box that held the china. Invitations were at once sent out for a long-projected dinner-party, at which the new porcelain could be dis played. The box was landed, and conveyed to the house. The whole family were present at the opening, which was performed by Mr. A himself, while the servants peeked in at the door. As soon as a part of the lid was split off, and a handful of straw re moved, a pile of plates appeared, wrapped carefully in paper. Each of the family snatched up a plate, and hastily tore off the covering. There were the flowers, glowing in beautiful colors, the gold star and golden A, admirably executed. But under the gold star, on every plate, dish and tureen, were the words, "This is the middle!" The literal and exact Chinese work man had copied this direction min utely from a Tery crooked line which Mr. A had hastily scrawled on the pattern with a very bad pen, and of course, without the slightest thought of finding it inserted verba tim beneath the central ornament. Mr. A. laughed, his wife cried, the servants giggled, and the daugh ter cried first', and laughed afterward. The only silver lining to the cloud was the fact that thereafter Mr. A always had something amusing to tell his guests at a dinner-party. Teste, the Beya A well-known man, the monument of whose exceptional ability as a financier is the great dry goods estab lishment of which he is the head, con tended that a discussion of the sub ject from his standpoint would serve no good end, since every merchant was an individual, and for every individual there would have to be a different prescription, adapted to per sonal temperament, mental capacity and the material circumstances. What would be good for one might be poison for another. He suggested that the way to make good business men, who would know how to acquire a surplus to dispose of, whether or not to invest in stocks, how much money to keep on hand and howtoguaid against stringency in the money market, was to give more attention to the morals of the boys who were starting in business. He wished it could be shown to them how they were wasting their opportunities, bow they were stultifying their manly spirit, how they are wrecking their chances for future prosperity when they indulge in games of chance, pool .playing, gambling, and other vicious practices that rob them of their night's rest and nil their miners in the day time to the exclusion of the busi ness with which they are intrusted. Successful business men, he insisted, could, in the majority of instances, take care of their finances fairly well, but it is the next generation of busi ness men that needs to be cultivated with greater care. Kaacklas; la Flerslla. Banching, though the least known, is the' oldest industry in Florida. For a great number of years cattle raising for the Cuban and West Indian mar kets has' been an occupation of 'the active Flordian. From Punto Gorda and Punta Bassa, ports .of Charlloie harbor, about 10,000 head of cattle are annually exported to Cuba. They are not fattened, and, indeed,, are only rounded up just before exporta tion; consequently .tire beef is wretched stuff, and the S14 or $15 paid for each of the beeves may be considered quite as much as they are worth.. The pasture is poor the breed still poorer; and although there is a movement afoot to improve, both, there can be little doubt as the' Southern-countries are settled, herds will diminish, in size and the range of pas turage be greatly restricted. Ranch ing as ranching will gradually die, and dairy farming will reign in its stead. Macmnian's Magazine. Y"oU can't te'l :: tythllig man by his loitiVtouc. about a HOKE AND THE FARM.

Their system of "rotation of crops greatly facilitates the keeping of such a record. In the East, says the American Farmer, the situation of affairs is probably worse than here. The farms there are small and badly divided Up into small "two here pieces," "half acre fields," etc Hfere in the-Northwest we too often go to the other ex treme and have our farms unfenced. We have seen a single farm in the East which had several miles of fences and walls, while we have also travel ed several miles in the West without observing a single fence. A fence should be placed around the farm. It is oftentimes the means of saving its cost in keeping away stray cattle from the growing crops, and is a bene fit at all times. A State may fortify itself with herd laws forever but a fence well made is better than all the statutes on this subject. The pas turage must be divided from the tilled land by a good fence, for obvi ous reasons; but as it is unwise to continuously keep a certain part of the farm for pasturage, it is well to plan for this before fencing. A plan can easily be formed bv which the changing of the pasture will necessi tate the changing of only two sides of the fence. In laying out the prai rie farm, the buildings must be placed in some convenient position Many farmers pujr their buildings near one cornepof the farm; a few moments' reflection will convince any one that this is a most unwise thiug to do. A good plan is to lay outthe quarter section into lots of twenty acres each'. By doing this you can easily compute how much land you have to any crop, and the total field being given it is then easy to estimate the yield per acre. This division.of the laud into plats of equal size, cannot easily be done unless it is very nearly level. In the majority of farms more attention is paid to the natural surface contour. A little forethought in locating roads on the farm will prevent much unnec essary labor. The distance around the hemisphere is no greater than the distance over it, and the former course is much the easier for the team. Of course, many circumstances must be considered in laying out the farm. It will probably le impossible to have the artificial divisions always 6Uitthe farmer and yet conform to the surface contour. The great thing is to make a beginning, to get to thinking, and then apply that thought in practice. LIVE STOCK. Cost ef sTeedlng- rig. The Wisconsin Experiment Station conducted a series of experiments to ascertain whether or not pigs can be . fed as profitably through the dam as auer wcauiug. cuur ws ni-re placed in separate pens just before farrowing. The pigs were weighed onthe day they were born, and weekly thereafter until ten weeks old, when they were weaned. An account was kept of all the food consumed by the sow and pigs for seven weeks after weaning. The feed consumed is charged at the following rates: Cornmeal, 70 cents per hundred weight, or 40 cents per bushel. Skimmtik, 75 entfl per hundred weight. Shorts, 70 cents per hundred weight. Ground Oats, 90 cents per hundred weight or 29 cents per bushel Sifted oats, tl.27 per hundred weight. Only summaries of the second and third lots are here given as the feed ing was not uniform for the other lots. The following table shows the food consumed to produce 100-pounds of gain: LOT II.

Shorts, 233 lbs. at f. 70 per cwt Total .. 2 43 .. t 81 ... IM .. 2 42 The combination of cornmeal and Bkimmilk gave excellent .results, and cornmeal with shorts did equally well. Where the sow was fed ground oats poor returns followed, this feed not being very satisfactory when cost is considered. It will be seen that there was little difference in the amount of feed required for a pound of growth with the pigs of Lots II and III be fore and after weaning, and we may conclude that there is no cheaper way of feeding pigs than through the dam. This being true, it is a shortsighted policy to starve a sow with the idea that her pigs will pay better for their feed after they are weaned. Experi ments teach that the sow should be fed as heavily as" possible without en dangering her young, and that at the same time the pigs should', be early taught' to eat in a trough by them selves, and should-also be fed all they will consume. Sheep Hints. . Start in to winter right and feed the flock so it will be a credit lo you. There is a difference detween feeding a maintenance ration and one enough larger to net the feeder a profit. ' The wool and manure will pay for the keep of the sheep, and wnat the lambs bring is all profit. What will show a larger per cent' of profit' than this? . When a man expects early- spring lambs it won't do for him. to be mean with the ewes, cither in board of treatment. There is a charm about wheat oran, oats and linseed meal which no sheep can resist; and the re sulting products, whether lambs, wool or mutton, are bound to be first-class. Oil meal must hot be fed to ewes in lamb later than four weeks after they are served because of danger from miscarria;' o u im fa . - O Di Hi J"",,fc mm l : 1 . sy jrj .JKafc Mf m ti4 DAIRY; .

Prac tical Farmer. A Deal df Xonsens- A great deal of the so-called agricul tural pdbUlUiri foUtid in weekly news papers is the veriest nonsehse": As an instance of this we read the other day iu a weekly paper that milk in Paris was called pure when it contained one pound of butter and four onces of solids, not fat, in a quart. .Jwflfial milk contains from three' ta four pounds of butter and nine to pleven pounds of other solids in each 100 pounds, or fifty quarts. Must Study the llaslaesa. One thing should be chalked down and remembered by every farmer who is engaged in dairying or thinks of en gaging in it. He will never make a profitable success unless he is a close student of the business. Unless he is willing to read, think, and study, and that,, too, Tight hard, butfewdol lars will get into his pocket through the cow. Look about in every dairy community and you will see that the most money per cow is made by the men who put the most brains into their dairy work. A man may make some money out of a poor cow, even, by starving his mind and the minds of his family. We suppose rag-pickers make some money, but how do they live? The American dairyman ought to live like an American citi zen. sswsswjsssas)sssmssBaBwtfBs THE POULTRY-YARD, atav Seeds fer Chloks. When you have a brood of chicks, try giving them the sweepings of the hayloft in which to scratch, and you will be surprised to notice how busy the little fellows will be, and how in dustriously, writes a poultry raiser, they will work to secure the seeds. There is nothing that will tempt little chicks like small seeds, and they will scratch from morning until night If they can find them. This scratching will do more to keep them in health than anything that can be done for them. It makes them keep warm, compels them to feed without filling their crops too rapidly, prevents leg weakness, and assists them to endure cold. Their appetites will also be greater and they will eat anything else provided, with avidity. It chicks are fed four times a day when young, and glveu hay chaff and leaves to work in, they should grow rapidly. They must be kept in a warm place, having plenty of lieht, and carefully fastened up at night. A Dreaded Disease. Among the diseases described that come to us from readers, says Farm and Fireside, is one which" is .Very common. The heads of the aliens swell, and lumps appear, 'both on the beads and sometimes in the throats, and the eyes are also swollen and closed. The trouble is roup, and the symptoms described arc due to ex posure to draughts of cold or damn air at night. There are difforeWf kinds of roup, but the form ol-roup mentioned is always.the result of ex posure. It is difficult to cure, but the sick birds should be kept in a warm place, and a few drops of a mix ture of one part spirits of turpentine and three parts sweet-oil used as an ointment on the face and head. feed Mast He Jtegwlated. When green things disappear the feeding of poultry must be regulated accordingly. If it has been fed en tirely on corn up to that time and has done well, it is not to be wandered at, because there has been an abundajppe of grass and insects to balance the ration. To counteract the heating effect of the carbonaceous corn food until the new growth of green things, poulterers who expect the best re turns from their fowls will see to it that food rich in nitrogen is supplied in connection with the corn. This should include meat scraps, clover hay cut and steamed, chopped vege tables, bran, barley, oats, and cotton seed and linseed meal. THE HOUSEHOLD. Washing Blankets Mad Easy. If one has a suitable place for the purpose, the washing of blanketsmay become an easy task, says the Jan uary Ladies' Home Journal. In an open space, have a line tightly stretched out of doors.

Cold water, of course, and plenty of it Drench the blankets well, on both sides. If much soiled, rub spots with soap and drench again. The force of the stream will do more than wringing. After the article is quite clean, leave it to dry; never mind if it does rain; if the work has been thorough it will not streak, but be all the better for it. When the sun has completed its task, you will, possess blankets as white, soft and unshrunken-as new, and the nap will not be destroyed Hats ta Housekeeper.
