NEW YORK STOCK MARKKT.
New York, Dsc. 3.—'Tho teinpor of speculation
at the cotton exchange was more bullish than
for somo time past, owing chiefly to the fact that
the death of Jay Gould deprives the bears of one
of their main supporters. For somo time past
each and every movement for lower pricos has
been accompauied by statements that Gould was
oporating on the bear side of tho account. Many
such statements have been made without tho
slightest foundation in fact, but the talk never-
theless had Kiven the bears an unwarranted de-
gree of power. It is noticeable that certain stocks
against which tho Gould interests are supposed
to have been antagonistic have boon most con-
spicuous in the rise since tho announcement of
tho demise of Gould. Another striking featuro
of the transactions has beon tho execution of buy-
ing orders for accouut of certain capitalists who
have studiously kopt aloof from Wall streot spec-
ulations for a long time. All this was reflected
in the stock market in the early hours of busi-
ness to-day, Rock Island being a notable case iu
point, which had the groatest advance in tho
general list outsido of Missouri Pacific. The lat-
ter roso lli. Western Union sold up 1ft. The
market closed steady at the reaction already no-
ticed.
Railroad bonds firm.
Government bonds stoadv.
State bonda dull.

Making Rain.
Western Stockman.
The government commission, charged with
making rain experiments, has again taken to
the hunting ground in Texas to have a season
of rabbit shooting at government expense un-
der the pretense of conducting experiments
with explosives with a view of producing rain.
In "Editorial Views" column Texas Farm and
Ranch, which sent a delegate with the rain-
makers' expedition last yoar and exposed the
humbug, gives us some notion of the weather
conditions in Texas this season, and tho pros-
pect Dyrenforth has of striking: enough wet
weather to make a claim, on the strength of
which his party can get a few thousand dollars
for a spree at public expense next year.
This rainmaking fake ought to be stopped.
In fact the whole system is an egregious farce.
The war department, which did not want to
be charged with the expense longer, got the
thing loaded over onto the agricultural de-
partment, where it was made welcome because
X strved to make a showing of money appro-
priated "in the interest of agriculture." But
tho agricultural department can ill afford to
be charged with $&0U,UUU per year which does
not tnmoflt agriculture to the extent of 600
cents.
This is tio time for supporting a hoax at
public expense. Wo want a weather service
that will collect statistics and preserve records.
But this can bo donoon one-fifth of tho money
now used in tho weather sorvico.
ALL ABOUT HOUSES.
Tnxa* Li»o Stock and Knnn Journnl.
Sound foet nro tho tinnis of a «ood horso,
lltfurativoly (ind literally. You can not kooi)
him in such condition if you permit him to
•tanil in a filthy utuMe.
Farmers who want to moot prosperity should
ernilo up their draft horso* and I.reed intelli-
gently for size aud action, and loso no time
experimenting with brooding speed or coaeh
horses from draft or common mares.
It is high timo to (iuit raising so many com
mon colts, now that tho street car horso is
thing of the past. There is no stock »t pros
ont pricos that loses the farmer so much money
(for food is money.) It is time to call a
halt.
Tho advantage that the breeder of draft
horses has over all othors is that all soli, and
at paying pricos. If he happens to have an
unfashionable color, a white face, white log, or
be large and coarse, or havo a big head, ho
may not fetch quite as much as a fine dapple
gray (the best selling color) for a city delivery
wagon or an omnibus, but they will always
■ell for dray, cart or other draft purposos.
Tho foet of farm horses aro grossly nog
lected, as a rule, in the mattor of shooing.
The idea that seems firmly fixed in tho agn
cultural mind is that the best smith is the man
whose shoes will remain on llio longest with-
out wearing out or coming oil; and as tho
smith is shrewd enough to know that the man
at the other end of the village would cater for
this market, he puts on an enormous weight
of iron or "steels" tho shoos and goos in for
high nailing. This ruins tho feet, causes lame-
ness, and is the very rovorse of economical.
Even if not worn out, it is desirable to have
shoes romoved at least once in six weeks.
The legs of farm ho raw should neither be
dipped nor washed if mud fover, cracked heols
and grease aro to be avoided. Carting am
mals are always predisiKKcil to tho latter from
breoding, and any want of caro or attention
results in exciting it. Such crude methods of
cleansing as driving tho horses into a pond
when they return wet and muddy from work
should bo firmly prohibited,as weliasporfunc-
tory washing and leaving the legs wot. This
brings the irritating particles into direct c
tact with the skin, ana by chilling the extremi-
ties causes the skin to Inftamo and crack. Tho
best plan of treatment is to scrape off tho
thickest of tho mud and put on straw and
flannel bandagoB, removing tho rest of the dirt
by brushing whon dry in the morning. HorseB
take less harm standing in thick mud—negli-
gent as it may seem—than remaining all night
with tho long hair on their legs dripping wet.
But why notclip them? Becauwo this deprives
the skin of tho legs of an eflicient protection
against tho irritation of wet mud and slushy
snow.
Why She Was Thankful.
A story appropriate to tho occasion la told
of the family whose custom was to expeot
from each individual member a« expression
of somo definite blessing each had to bo thank-
ful for. As the turkey was carved into sec-
tions each, beginning with the oldest, ex
pressed his or her dearest blessing. Finally it
was the turn of the youngest member to tell
her roasoh for being thankful. She was 5
years old. She had not considoroU the sub-
ject, and she w«s interested in the carving.
She was preBsod for an idea, and whon it camo
it was to the main point. All in a breath she
exclaimed: "Oh, I'm thankful we've got a
turkey, and give tee lots of stuflin papa!"
That's the way with all of us—we are thank-
ful for a turkey, ami Wo waut "lots of stuffin."
Wonders Are On the Increase.
New York Mail and Express.
Speaking of tho possibilities of the tele-
phone, Arthur McArthur, editor of the Troy
Budget, tells in his paper how he conversed
with a man in Now York, 150 miles from
Troy, and had the Now Yorkor call upa
mutual friend in Niagara oounty, 4fi8 miloB
distant. The last mentioned also put himself
in conversation with the Troy editor, thus
making a complete telophono circuit of 9SMJ
miles. This was done in loss than half an
hour, and the throe particn in the triangular
conversation had a satisfactory conference
over a business mattor which would havo re-
quired a week's correspondence by letter to
have sottled. None of the customers of the
telephone appreciate it more than the news-
papers.
Salt for Stock.
National Stockman.
Salt is as much a food, says an exchange, as
Bugar, which goes so largely to maintain the
vital heat aud support life,aud should be given
to animals that do not livo wholly on animal
food, and in proportion to the amount of voso-
table food they consume. Tho staple supply de-
termined upon by exports is two ounces for a
cow, ono ounce for a horse, a drachm for a
sheep per day, and a small quantity at inter-
vals of a few days for swine and poultry. The
quantity given to a cow is for the reason that
■he gives milk that contains salt, and thus
she needs more than a horso; but a mare that
is nursing a foal should huve an increased al-
lowance, although this is rarely thought of.
Becoming Odioua.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The southern cotton planters are protesting
loudly against the passage of the Hatch bill
by tho senate. A littio reflection has con-
vinced them of the folly of such a measure,
and by the time the Benate has to aot on it the
sentiment will be almost unanimous against
it. The measure is undemocratic. It is based
upon false premises, and would result in so-
rious harm to large business interests. The
lower house passed it either through igno-
rance of its real character or under a dema-
gogical impulse as transparent aa it was dis-
creditable.
Utilizing Cold Meat.
A new way to utilize cold meat ia usually
welcome to the avorago housekeeper. The
following is really an appetizing diBh: Line
a diah with minced potatoes and Bet it in the
oven until thoroughly browned. When tho
potatoes aro done hollow out the center and
fill with cold meat that has been minced,
heated and seasoned. On the top loy four
eggs nicely poached in brown gravy. Screen
the whole with finely choppod parsley.
SKALED PROPOSALS will bo received at tho
office of N. J. Clayton & I 'o., architects, Strand
and 22d street, Galveston, until Thursday, De-
cember 15,1892, at 2 p. in., for the erection of two
