possible that the profits are not as large as

Thonumber of loaves of bread made in
bakeries in this city is estimated by ono of
the leading men in the business to be not
less than 18,500 per day. Every grocer in
the city with possibly a few exceptions sells
'bread.
In addition to plain bread thereis also an

So much has boon written concerning

they require they will keep fat tlio

Upon mobt of tlio ranges , und especially
in the viciuity of the mountains , horses

hay or grain. Snow never interposes
but a trilling barrier between the
range horse und his food. His strong
front feet are well shaped for pawing
snow , and his mouth full of teeth en
ables him to bite the grass to the root
when he once reaches it. The writer
bus worked upon the great
Yellowstone range for the last
six years , and ho can bear
witness that the horses on the range
were in excellent condition , and that
there has not been 10 per cent of loss
during the whole of that time among
Montana bred horses and but very little
moro than that among those bred in
warmer climate and brought to Mon
tana , many of which m-e located on this
runtre. Mucli less expense is incurred
by the horseman in keeping truck of his
stock and in rounding up than by the
sheep or cuttle raiser. Horses , when
hold upon a locality for short time , become -
come "range broken" that is , bo accus
tomed to living and being upon a cer
tain tract that they will never leuvo it
unless driven uwuy , und will go back U :
it itain when driven off , sometime :
Hovonty-llvo or KM ) miles.
Stallions , of which the horseman bus
to keep one to ubout fifty marcs , are not
turned out upon the range , but are kept
in btuble.s und yards , winter and sum
mer , and fed. They got grain only
.during the six weeks when they are
in ubu , and are fed only hay during tlio
balance of the year. They must bo kop1
in good order , however , and should go
into their "boason" fat und lino.
After the herd had become thoroughly
'range broken" ono man' can maniigo
100 murcb , care for und food two stallions
und three-saddle horses , break all colts
to bailer when they uro nine months
old , and do all tlio usual work upon the
liorbo-ranch except branding and murk-
ing and haying , during which operu-
tioiib lie will require a man to help.
Hay and outs tnilllciont to feed two
btnllions and throe baddlo-liorwes , however -
ever , may generally bo purchased as
cheaply UH they can bo raibed by the
hoi'bomun , and in that CUM ) his ranch
and corrals may bo located moro cen
trally upon his range without reference
to liny meadows or farming lands.
For tlio above band of 100 mures ,
twenty tons of buy and 4,000 pounds of
oats would bo un abundant supply , and
allow of bringing in any pour or sickly
inures and all young col In for woMiing

the winter. If the horse brooder bo
content to purchase this supply bin
runcho need cost him but $100 , whereas
ten times that might easily be spout in

In breeding horses , the quality of the
stock is trreatly improved by the first
cross. Montana is full of 1,000 and 1,100
pound colts raised from 700 pound mures
and largo btallions , und the second cross
to large draft stallions often produce
very valuable animals. Improvement
is as rapid when breeding for bpocd or

that the small nutivo Cuyouso ixiny is

their real quality becomes known , much
more. After the first year marcs will
produce , whan properly handled , 80
per cent of their number of colts. If
driven from a distant and "range-
broken" during the first summer , the
first crop will bo small , say 50 or 00 per
cent. The greatest loss is always
among the cells during their first year.
This loss averages about 10 per cent of
the young colts.
Ono of the greatest elements of suc
cess in the horse business , especially
when carried on on u moderate scale ,
lies in breaking the young colts. For
merly it was the custom to lot the colts
run until four yearsold before breaking.
"When us old us this they have become
as wild as the oik , and blacktail door

OVER TEN THOUSAND MILES.
Cloak Signals Bent Over 7.OOO Jtlllcs
of Wire in n Fraction of n Second.
Sun Francisco Alta : Tlio recently
announced churn of a telegraphic cir
cuit of over ton thousand miles , surpass
ing all previous experiments , is some
what misleading. Many efforts at long
circuit work Imvii occurred during the
pubt few vears , the dibtunco varying
from 4KM ( ) to 8,100 miles.
It ib a mutter of i-oiibiderublo pride to
the old oporut/n-B of the Webtorn Union
telegraph company in San Krnncibuo
that the feat of transmitting clock sig
nals through T.tiOO miles of line and talk
ing directly through that sumo line lias
never been equalled , The occubion of
tli is feat was the telegraphic determi
nation of the difference of longitude in
time between the United States Coast
Survey station in Sun Francisco and
tlio obsurvatory of the Har
vard University at Cambridge in the
year 1809. In order to determine the
time of traiiHmission of a signal either
from the clock ( or from the operator's
key ) over tno given length of the line
of it.UOO miles , throe different methods
wore dpvised. Ono of thebo wits orig

Through the liborulity of the manage
ment of the Western Union Telegraph
company , a double circuit of line was
looped ut Cambridge , so that they extended -
tended from the Sun Frunciuco obborv
utory 3,000 miles to Cambridge , and the
return from Cambridge by u bomowhat
different route of nearly equal lungtli-
The two "earths" were under the Kan
Francibco observatory , dibtunt from
each other not more than tun fuel. The
line wus lirst opened by an operator in
the observatory and when the hiht con
nection wus made ut Cambridge thoSun
Francisco operator was considerably as
tonished to got his own mubbago back
within ono sucond of timo.
Then the agronomical break-circuit
clock was thrown into line and made its
first break upon u pun recording upon a
revolving cylinder of pupor in the
Sun Francisco observatory , and after

Tlio Singular ISxpurlcnco of an Oyster
DrcclKcr AVlio Fell Ovornourtf.
Haltiinore Sun : A rcmarkublo illus
tration of man's endurance under % vator
conies from the oyster schooner Lau-
clott , Capt. Harry Jsicobs , now lying nt
the foot of Philpot street. Capt. Harry
Jacobs , his crow and John Johnson , the
man who afforded the illustrationvouch
for the story. On Jan. liG the vessel was
dredging in the vicinity of Thomos'a
point , and while cruising about she and
another vessel wuro in collision. The
other ves el caught the line of the lee
dredge on the Lauclottwhich tautening ,
caught John Johnson und throw hm ( in
the nir and overboard , The heavy Iron
dredge followed , and us Johnson fell in
the water ho caught the dredge , und
grasping it sunk beneath the vessel.
The ljuuelolt was under wdy at the
time. Captain Jacobs at once ordered
the jib lowered ana then the yawlboat.
The "falls" of the boat were found
frozen so fust that they would uot go
overboard , and Captain Jacobs ordered
them cut. Looking overboard and not
bceing the man atloat , Cuptuin Jacobs
conceived tlio idea that Johnson had become -
come entangled in the dredge und
could not dlbongugo himself. Tlion the
crow jumped to the "crank" and never
was an oyster dredge BO quickly holnted
from the bottom. When it came to the
surfnco Joluihon was clinging to the line
near the di-edgo , and to have his hand
from being mushed coming over the
rollers the winding up was slopped and
the man liunlod on board.
JoluiHHi was dressed in his oilskin
suit und Bou'woBtor hut , and beyond los
ing ono of his milts und skinning his
knuckles lie was nil right , lie wild tea
a Sun repnrtor that hu did pnot losu his
presence of mind the whole time ho wan
in the water. A btrungo incident ho
rolutos in that the dredge line , which
from the veesol to tho' bottom is fully
thirty feet long , acted ns a telephone to
him while lying in the mud gru piug
the iron drudgu that anchored him so
fiint. Ha could clearly hear the orders
being given ubovo him , hear the foot
steps of the crow running ubout the
dock , the iiolbo of the jib IIH it run down ,
and the Hplauh of the yawlboat dropping
into the water. His head was close to
the line that hold the dredge , and ho
vouches for the cssortion that the
Bounds from nbovo traveled down the
rope as freely and clearly as in cases
when a telephone is not cloudy under
stood by being slightly out of ordert
The wilier was twonty-sovcn feet deep
where Johnson wont over , Captain
Jacobs and his crow say it was nearly
thrco minutes from the tlmo Johiiboii
was thrown overboard until lie was res
cued.
