Untier und Cheese.
We select the f.-Rowing from the
West .Shore, which is so directly appli
cable to this vicinity that we deem it
worth reproduction: It is surprising,
in view of the continued high price of
diary products, that more diarying is
not done by the settlers on the mea
dows of Puget Sound. With abundance
of good water, grass perennially green,
facilities for reaching market good,
there seems to be nothing lacking to
make the business highly profitable.
Combination is the sceict oi Gsrg* a m
successful dian operations. Let the set
tlers of a. neigliboi'ie-Hl to;-;!! an associa
tion for tic- manuiacture ' i butter and
cheese; let them select a central or con
venient location offering ail the require
ments of i good manufacturing and
shipping noint: let each one keep as
many milch con s as lit* can attend to
properly or lias grazing for, and every
day take his milk to the factory and
receive credit for it: let the iactory be
under the management of a competent
dairyman and th-businessaffairs under
control of members of the association
selected b\ tie contributors; then let
each month's bu -.in -ss be kept s 'parate
and as soon utter ün\ expiration of the
month as possible let each man be paid!
his pro rata of tin* profits, based upon
the amount of milk turned in by him
during the month. This is the method
of conducting those successful mutual
dairies so numerous in Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin and other Eastern .'states.
Some of those dairies consume from
thirty to flirt\ thousand pounds of
milk per day; and have an established
brand of butter w< 1! known in the trade.
Other factories are owned by private
individuals, - who previous to building
them, secured the promise of a sufficient
daily supply of milk from the surround
ing farmers. Then* is a market for all
the good butter—well worked and put
up in marketable shape—that can be
produced; and beyond question there is
a large profit in the business when prop
erly conducted. Factory butter rules
several cents per pound higher than the
home-made product, for the simple
reason that it is better, of a uniform
quality, and the same brand can be had
in any quantity to suit. Not only
should such enterprises be inaugurated
on Puget Sound, but throughout the
region west of the Cascades, where the
conditions arc uniformly favorable.
There is little danger of producing too
much butter in a region that annually
imports tons of it.
AA'ar Against AA'ilil Horses.
Wild horses have become so numerous
on the plains that some of the stock
men in the vicinity of Cheyenne and
other localities have organized a hunting
party whose object will be to thin them
out. The hunters are provided with
long-range l ilies, fleet ponies, and sup
plies and forage enough to last all win
ter, and they will endeavor to make a
clean job of it. These horses have ex
isted on the plains for many years, but
of late the\ have liven increasing very
fast. They are quick to scent the ap
proaeli of fees, fleet as the antelope that
may often be seen browsing in security
at their side, and as unmanageable as
the wind. Xativeanimals when turned
loose on the prairie soon become wild,
and if allowed to run without being dis- j
turbed breed very rapidly. Horses con-,
tinually break away from their owners
ami join the wild horses, and this is the
reason why stockmen are aroused over
the subject. Men who crossed the plain* I
in 1319 encountered many wild horses,
and for years afterward they must have
increased rather than diminished.
Horses stand the winter much better
than cattle, and unless the weather is
unuaually seven* will come out fat in
the spring.
Every year large numbers of domestic
horses escape from the settlers. .Some
of them are found, but when mares es
cape they are never reclaimed. In
wandering over the plains they encoun
ter the wild bands, and from that time
forward are as wild as the others. The
wild stallions are the guardians of the
bands. Always on sentinel duty, they
give the alarm when the enemy ap
proaches. In a moment the straglers
are rounded in. a fleet-footed stallion
leads the van, and, with the others at
his flanks, away they go in a thunder
ing charge. Nobody has yet been able
to overtake them. Sometimes they are
lassoed or shot, but such a thing as
heading them oft' in a race is out of the
.question.
The range of wild horses at present
extends from Texas to the Southern
Dakota line. They are more numerous
in Northern Colorado, Wyoming and
Western Nebraska than any where else
on the plains. On the Republican River,
on the divide betAveen the South Platte
and the Lodge Pole and the North
Platte, and as far east as the heads of
the Loup and Dismal Rivers, the horses
range at will. Five or six years ago
they could be found on the divide
betAveen Sidney and Stearling in
bunch«« of lifty or seventy-five, but
now a bunch of tAventy-five is consider
ed large. Sometimes there is more than
one stallion in a band, but one of them
is alAvays acknowledged as chief, Avin
ning this distinction by many hard
to
vate
fought battles with his rivals. One
bunch of eleven horses recently seen near
Sidney was entirely composed of stal
lions, but this is explained on the theory
that they were probably driven out of
various herds when young, and gradu
ally herded together, as old buffalo bulls
are in the habit of doing. Prom the
horse ranch of M. E. Post, about fifteen
miles north of Cheyenne, nearly »00
mares have Avandered away, and it is
believed that at least one-half of them
have joined the wild horses.
A Baby quartet.
A story comes from the Santa Clara
county redAvoods, says a Nevada paper,
that the Avife of a Avood-ehopper named
Montgomery, living on the Santa Cruz
side, presented her astonished spouse
with a quartet of babies, three bovs and
a girl, on the night of Nov. 14. the in
fants weighed all the way from tAvo to
III pounds. j
