grUwne. BinUrck, D. July 13,1877. Cattle Raising in the Powder River Country. A'recent distinguished witer says: For fetock raising no country could be finer than this, for the conditions are such as to insure the minimum, of expense and labor, and the fine air and water insure health to the herds.

The country including and bordering the Big Hprn mountains is particularly fitted for sheep raising. Sheep like high land and dry air, and these, with the fine, rich grasses of the mountain slopes, would produce fleeces not excelled in any part of the world. Sheep husbandry is as yet in its infancy with us, but the time will come When the Big Horn country will be as famous tor its flocks and wool as any parts of the Old World, and perhaps as famous for it's looms and mills too. The same authority in speaking of game in the valley of the Powder river says: Game is more abundant in the Powder River country than in any part of our possessions. Here the buffalo range in herds of thousands, sometimes blackening the country for miles with their huge bodies.

But though they are found in large masses, still all experience of border men shows that they are rapidly lessening in numbers, and the sections in which large herds are found are becoming narrower every year. The tribes in the north subsist almost entirely on buffalo meat, and they probably kill a quarter of a million of buffalo every year. As they kill cows mainly, on account of the better quality of meat, they reduce the herds much faster than is needful with proper management-. The elk, the finest of the large game, is found in large numbers, often 500 In a herd. Black tail and white tail deer, antelope, cinnamon and grizzly bear, beaver, otter all the fur producing animals are very abundant.

FISH. The streams are full of excellent salmon, trout, catfish and bass, and of the feathered game geese, brant and duck are as plentiful as any sportsman could wish. AND OF FRUIT. Wild fruits, such as plums, currants, gooseberries, buffalo berries and service berries grow almost everywhere and are excellent. The Indians make a good deal of use of them for food, drying large quantities and mixing them with the marrow of buffalo bones for winter use; the dried berries are sometimes pounded u'p with buffalo meat and fat, making a sort of "pemican," which is packed in skins called "towro." Verily this Powder river country must be a part and parcel of the promised land.

Old Aunt had trouble! the other day with one of the nice for whom she has been wishing! disputed her bill--wai ted tp knock a few cents of it, and 1 ed. She said: "I ought to chawge I do udder folkessea, yo' clo many pieces, an' is so lirty. me half a duzzen bulton-h rag wrapped 'round 'em an' to'fotch back a nice whole an 1 you wants two legs to When you don't sent roe bu half to de wash. yo' tory. 1'se lost some my since 1'se been wash in fur moved away 1 cause dey said in's ud bread an epitageon.

A great assistance to the mother, or whoever has in charge the domestic machinery, is a short sleep in the middle of the day. Drop all care, steal away just for a little while, and give thq weary muscles and excited brain, and perhaps the unstrung nerves, a rest. Rest the very thought of it is comfortable. How it does lighten the caries and facilitate the duties of the afternoon How much more easily we eaii carry the burdens that seem to ac cumulate as the day declines! The little ones are returning from school and need a mother's attention.

The market man is here, and we must make out our list for the morrow's wants. Biddy needs directions in the kitchen, and we must see that all parts of the house are quiet and settled in order. How fresh and invigorated we feel to go about all this and a thousand other trifles that are the routine of every day duties, when we have refreshed ourselves with an hour's sleep at midday. Dp not say you cannppspare the time, fotf you are gainingftijae by. You wijll surely last You will be spared longer to ones around yoju, if you will only spare yourself.

They will need your care for many years yet, and to this end you must be economical ofTour health and strength. Lay in store sufficient vim by a daily sleep, to balance daily waste, and so keep up the average. A nice little nap is so refreshing It recuperates the exhausted energies, and the last half- day's duties are as pleasant as the first.

Girls is of sever- all thousand kinds, and sometimes one girl can be like several thousand other girls, if she wants yon to do anything. Girls is all alike one way; they aj-e all like If you rub 'em the ri ght way of the hair they'll put and liok sweet at you, but if you rub 'em the way, or step on their tails, they'll claw you. S'long as you let a girt have her own way she's nice and sweet; but just cross her, and she'll spit at you worse nor a cat. Girls is also like mules; they're head-strong. If a girl don't want to believe anything can't make If she knows it's so she won't say so.
