LEFT OUT ON LONE STAR MOUNTAIN BY DRET HARTE, —_—— I There was little doubt that the Lone Star claim was played out. Not dug out, wotked out, washed out—but played out. For two years its five sanguine proprietors had gone through the various stages of mining enthusiasm; had prospected and planned, dug and doubted. They had borrowed money with hearty but un. redeeming frankness, established a credit with unselfish abnegation of all responsi- bility, and had borne the disappointment of their creditors with a cheerful resigna. tion which only the consciousness of some doep compensating future could give. Giving little else however, a singular dis- satisfaction obtained with the traders, and, boing accompanied with a reluctance to make further advances, at last touched the gentle stoicism of the proprictors themselves. The youthful enthi which had at first lifted the most ine ual trial—the most useless essay--to the plane ot actual achievement, died out, leaving them only the dull, prosaic record of half-finishod ditches, ~purposeless shafts, untenable pits, abandoned en- gines, and meaningless disruptions of the soil upon the Lone Star claim, and empty flour sacks and pork barrels in the Lone Star cabin, They had borne their poverty—if that term could be applied to a light renunci- ation of all superfluities in food, dress or ornament, ameliorated by the gentle de- predations already alluded to — with unassuming levity. More than that. Having segregated themselves from their fellow miners of Red Gulch, and entered upon thepossession of the little manzanita thicketed valley five miles away, the failure of their enterprise had assumed in their eyes only the vague significance of the decline and fall of a general commu- nity, and to that extent relieved them of individual responsibility, It was easier for them to admit that the Lone Star claim was played out than confess to a personal bankruptcy. Moreover, they still retained the sacred right of criticism of government, and rese superior in their private opinions to their own collective wisdom. Each one experienced a grate- ful senso of the entire responsibility of the other four in the fate of their enter- prise. On Decembes 23, 1863, a gentle rain was still falling over the length and breadth of the Lone Star claim. 1t had been falling for several days; had already called a faint spring color to the wan landscape, repairing with tender touches the ravages wrought by the proprictors, or charitably covering ‘their faults. The ragged seams in gulch and canon lost their harsh outlines, a thin green mantle faintly clothed the tornand abraded hill- side. ~ A few weeks more and veil of for- getfulness would be drawn over the fee- ble failures of the Lone Star claim. The charming derelicts themselves, listening to the raindrops on the roof of their lit- tle cabin, gazed philosophically from the open door, and accepted the prospect as a moral discharge from their obligations. Four of the five partners were present— the]Rightand Left Bowers, Union Mills and the Judge. Tt is scarcely necessary to say that not one of these titles was the genuine name of its possessor. The Right and Left Bowers were two brothers; their soubri- buets a cheerful adaption from their fa- vorite game of euchre, expressing their relative value in the camp. The mere fact that Union Mills had at one time patched his trousers with an old flour sack legibly bearing that brand of its fabrication, wasa tempting baptisimal suggestion that the other partners could not forego. The Judge, asingularly in- e4Luliuhlo Missourian, with no knowledge whatever of the law, was an inspiration of gratutious irony. Union Mills, who had been for some time sitting placidly on the threshold with one leg exposed to the rain frcm a sheer indolent inability to change his position, finally withdrew that weather-beaten member and stood up. The moveent more o less deranged the attitudes of the other partners, and was received with cynical disfavor. It was somewhat re- markable that, although generally giving the appearance of healthy youth and per- fect physical condition, they one and all simulated the decrepitude of age, of invalidism, and, after limping about a few moments, settled back again upon their bunks and stools in their former positins, The Left Bower lazily replaced a bandage that he had worn around his ankle for weeks without any apparent necessity, and the judge scrutinized with tender solicitude the faded cicatrix of a soratch upon his urm. A passive hypo- chondria, borne of their isolation, was the lastludicrously pathotic touch to their situation, The immediate cause of this commotion felt the necessity of an explanation. “It would have been just as easy for Euu to have stayed outside with your usiness leg, instead of dragging it into private life in that obtrusive way,” re- torted the Right Bower; ‘‘but that ex- huustive effort isn’t going to fill the pork The grocery man at Dalton says that he said?" he appealed lazily to the judge. *‘Said he reckoned the Lone Star was about played out, and he didn’t want any more in_his—thank you!” repeated the judge with a mechanical effort of memory utterly devoid of personal or present in- terest, (131 nlwazu suspected that man after Grimshaw begun to deal with him,” said the Left Bower. *‘They're just mean enough to jom hands against us.” It was u fixed belief of the Lone Star part- ners that they were pursued by personal enmities, “More than likely those new strangers overin the Fork have been paying cash and filled him up with conceit,” said Union Mills, trying to dry his leg by alternately beating 1t or rubbingit against the cabin wall *‘Once begin wrong with that kind of snipe and you drag every- body down with you, 4 This vagueconclusion was received with dead silence, Everybody had become interested in the speaker’s peculiar moth- od of drying his leg, to the exciusion of the previous topic, A few offered criti- cism—no one asaistance. “Who did the grocery man say that to?" asked the Right Bower, finally re- turning to the question, ““The Old Man,” answered the judge. “Of course,” ejaculated the Right Bower sarcastically, “Of courne,” uc{ma& the other partners together, *That's like him. ’I!lw 0ld Man all over!” It did not appear exactly what waa like the Old Man, or why it was like him,but, gouerally, that he alone was responsible for the groceryman’s defection, 1t was put more coneisely by Union Mills, ““I'hat comes of letting him go there! It's just a fawr provocation to any man to have the Old Man sent to him, They can't —-serter—restrain themeelvesat hum, - |of the hearth. He's onough to spoil the credit of the Rothschilds! “That's so,” chimed in the judge. “And look at his_prospecting. Why he Wik out two highite 1ast week~all night nrospecting in the moonlight for blind londs—juny o't of sheer foolishnoss.” “1 was_quito onough for me,’ broke in the Left Bower, “‘when tho other day you remember when—he propated to us white men to settle down to plain ground-sluicing —making _grub wages, ust like any Chinaman, 1t just showed {\iw idea of,the Lone Star claim,” *“Well, T never said it afore,” added Union Milis, *‘but when that one of the Mattison boys came over here to exam- ino the claim with an eye to purchasin’, it was the Old Man that took the conceit out him. He just s good as admitted that 4 lot of work had to be done afore any pay oro_could be realized. Never oven asked him over to the shanty here to jine us in a friondly gamo—just kopt him, 8o to speak, to himself. And naturally the Mattisons didn't see it.” A silence followed, broken only by the rain monotonously falling on the roof, and occasionally through the broad adobe chimnoy, when it provoked a retaliating hiss and splutter from the dying embers The Right Bower, with o sudden access of energy, drew an «mpty barrol before him, and, taking a r:lck of well-worn cards from his pocket, hegan to make a soltaire upon the lid! L languid in- Tne others gazed at him wit! torest. 3 1 “Makin' it for anythin'?" asked Mill. The Right Bower nodded. The Judge and Left Bower, who were partly lying in their respoctive bunks, sat up to got a botter view of the game. Union Mills slowly disengaged himself from the wall and leaned over the soli- taire player. The Right Bower turned the last card in a pause of almost thrill- ing suspense, and clapped it down on the lid with fateful emphasis. “IJt went!” said the Judge, in a voico of hushed respect ““What did you make it for?” he almost whispered, “To know if we'd make the break we talked about and vamose the ranch. It's tho fifth time to-day,” continued the Right Bower in a voice of gloomy signif- icance, ‘“‘And it went agin bad cards, too.” I ain’t superstitious,” said the Judge with awe and, fatuity beaming from overy line of his credulous face, ‘‘but it's flyin’ in the face of Providence to go agin such signs as that.” “Make it again to ree if the Old Man must vo,” suggested the Left Bower. The suggestion was roceived with fa- vor, the three men gathering breathlessly around the player. Again the fateful cards were shufiied deliberately placed in their mysterious combination, with the same ominous result. Yet everybody seemed to breathe more freely, as if re- lieved from some responsibility, the Judge accepting this manifest expression of Providence with resigned self-right- eousness. “Yes, gentlemen,” resumed the Left Bower, serenely, as if a calm legal deci- sion had just been recorded, ‘‘we must not let any foolishness or sentiment get mixed up with this thing, but look at it like business men. The only sensible move is to get up and get out of the camp.” 4 “And the Old Man?” queried the J udge. “The Old Man—hush!-~he’s coming.’ The doorway was darkened by a slight lissome shadow. It was the absent part- ner, otherwise known as the Old Man, Need it be added that he wasa boy of nineteen, with a slight down just cloth- ing his upper lip! “The creek is up over the ford, and I had to shin up a willow on the bank and swing myself across,” he said, with a frank laugh! *‘but all the same, boys, it's oing to clear up in about an hour—you %et. It's breaking away over Bald Mountain, and there’s a sun flash on a bit of snow on Lone Peak. Look! you can see it from here. It's for all the worlk like Noah's dove just landed on Mount Ararat. Its a good omen.” From sheer force of habit the men had momentarily brightened up at the Old Man’s entrance. But the unblushing ex- hibition of degrading superstition shown in the last sentence recalled their unjust severity, They exchanged meaning glances, Union Mills muttered hope- lessly to himself: “Hell's full of such omens,” Too occupied with his subject to no- tice this ominous reception, the Old Man continued: *‘I reckon I struck a fresh lead in the new grocery man at the Cross- ing. He says he'll let the Judge have a pair of boots on credit, but he can't send them over here; and considering that the Jud e has got to try them anyway, it don't seem to be asking too much for the Judge to go over there, He says he'll give us a barrel of pork and a bag of flour if we'll give him the right of using our tail-race and clean out the lower end of 1t.” “‘It’s the work four days’ job,” broke Bower. ‘It took one white man only two hours to clean out a third of it,” retorted the 0ld Man triumphantly, *“for I pitched in at once with a pick he let me have on credit, and did that amount of work this morning and told him the rest of you boys would finish it this afternoon,” A slight gesture from the Right Bower checked an angry exclamation from the Left. The Old man did net notice cither, but, kniting his smooth young brow in a paternally reflective fashion, went on: *‘You'll have to get a new pair of trousers, Mills, but as he doesn’t keep clothing, we'll have to get some canvas and cut you out a pair. I traded off the beans he lot me have for some tobacco for the Right Bower at the other shop, and got them to throw in a new pack of cards, These are about played out. We'll be wanting some brushwood for the fire; there's a heap in the hollow. Who's going to bring it in? It's the Judge's turn, isn't it!

MATTERS. NINETY DAY CORN, F. E. Fross,Donnelsville, Clarks coun- ty, Ohio, writes Tre Be that he has “a largo qnantity of a very superior quality of extra large white corn which was or igginated by myself and which is unusu- wlly carly, hence its name, ‘00 Day Corn,” It will mataie sufficiently in ninety days to he out of the Way of the long folt. Tho ears are from ten to twelve inchos long and about ~two-thirds of the stocks have two large and perfoct oars, The grains are unusually largo and long while the cob is comparatively small. Ono hundred and _thirty bushels of this variety was raised one one acre this season, and many old and reliable farmors pronounced it the best and most prolific variety they had ever seen. As I am anxious to know what the corn will do, 1 will make the following offer to the renders of your valuable paper. 1 will sond a largo sample package of the corn to any farmer who will give it a fair trial and report his success to me next fall, and who will sond mo ten centa to pay the postage. 1 can furnish the best of roferences in regard to my good faith in the above statoment if necessary.” RAISING OGS, Hugh Foy of Maple Creek, Dodge county, gives his_experience in saising hogs as follows: From Nov. 22, 1882, to Dec., 24, 1882, he sold 141 hn&u, netting hint in clean cash $1,041,35. From Jan., 13 to Dec. 24, of tho present year, he sold 85 hogs, weighing 24,676 pounds, for which he received §1,207.25. Mr. Foy is thoroughly ‘convinced ~that oven at the prices hogs havesold at during the present year it pays to raise them, SEED CORN, A Michigan farmer givea the following a8 & method of saving seed corn: *‘I se- loct my soed corn early, and, after husking, bury the ears in my oat bin, leaving them there until wanted the following spring. I have never expsrienc- od any difficulty in the gormination of my corn since adopting thias method. Tho oats absorb rapidly and evenly all moi- sture, and prevent any freezing of the selected ear,” BIG STEERS, Mr. Waldo Lyon of Burt county sold | 600 recently the best lot of steers over ship- ped from this state, bringing him §6,000, the steers averaging $133 each; this looks like big figures, but they were large steers, well fed. PROTECTION FOR PIGS. Experiment made by Prof. E. M. Shel- ton, of The Kansast State Agricultural College, show that it pays to protect pigs. Ten animals as nearly alike as possible were kept, during the last two winters, in seperato pons, five in basement of a barn and five in the yard without cover- ing save straw for beds. They were fed with Indian corn twice a day, each mess being carefully weighed. The result was as follows: Pigs in the barn, 11b. of pork cost 4 9-10 1b. of corn. Pigs outside, 1 1b. of pork cost b 7-10. Or expressed in other words’ each bushel of corn, fed in the barn, made 11 5-10 lb. of pork. Fed outside, made 9 7-10 1b. of pork. This shows that of every bushel of corn fed to the unsheltered pigs, an amount capable of making 1-6 pounds of pork was used in keeping the pigs warm, Ac- cording to these figures, the sheltered pig gained 100 pounds in weight during the season, it was by the expenditure of 4.9 pounds of corn for each pound of pork, or 490 pounds of corn for the whole in- creuse. ‘The unsheltered pig required 570 pounds of corn for 100 pounds of pork. Corn in Adams County. To the Editor of ‘' Bek., Having noticed several short articles in Tar BEE respecting the presentcondition of the corn crop, and especially its fitness for seed another season, with a tendency to create anxiety among farmera here as well as elsewhere, I have made careful examination of the corn hereabouts, and find just cause for sounding the alarm. Our corn is probably as good as any to be found in the state, and yet we are sadly short in suitable seed corn. The rainy weather of last October, terminating 1 a heavy snow storm, and this, followed by a very severe frost, before the corn was dry enough to husk, effoctually destroyed the germ of the corn, Had farmers gathered their seed the last of September, or even the foro part of October, all would have been well, but most of them did not, and hence their frantic endeavors to obtain old corn for seed the coming spring, 1 have seen several men who have raised from three to five thousand bushels of corn this year in the city overhauling cribs of old corn for seed and [myins' just double what they coul got for their own corn. When will far ers learn to be prudent in selecting and saving seed and do it at the best time and not take such fearful chances! I became satisfied after two years' residence in the state that moet of ;the corn being raised hereabouta required too long seasons to mature , and in order to be absolutely sure of our crop we needed an early sort that would mature inside ®f ninety days, In corresponding with parties who make a business of looking up de- sirable sorts of seeds, 1 obtained a large number of sorts and planted the same under as favorable con- ditions as possible. None met my ex- pactatiom but a new kind thatoriginated in Minnesota, called the North Star Golden Dent. This is not only a strictly ninety day corn, but is of good sized ears with small cob and deep kernel, the heaviest corn of its size I have ever seen, It runs from 12 to 24 ounces to the ear. This corn was ripe in Augustand thor- oughly dried out in September, and it is the only reliable seed corn I have. Had my entire crop been of this sort, [ would havebeenmuchbetter off. 1 beganfeeding this in August, but as soon as I ascer- tained the damage to the tall corn I stopped and carefully housed it for seed. You may wish to kmow of its yielding qualities. Although some of it was cov- ered up by heavy rains, yet it outdid the other, yielding fifty bushels to the acre all round. I think yeu will lfres with me in advising farmers to plant largely of tho earliest and best sorts of corn. 1 shall confine myself to planting this sort of corn until I can find some- thing better.
