Pigs and sheep glance from this iron pro- jection as mere trifles, and on one occasion, when, in pointing to a number of swine right under us, I asked the conductor what happened if those animals got in the way, he carelessly replied, " Guess they get cut in two.'' " Who suffers," I rejoined, ^^ when you thus destroy pro- perty ?" " Guess the company smart for it; and it does good to the settlers, for they get the feir price for their cat- tle one way, and, as they fix it in another, a precious... sight more than they are worth." " How do they contrive that?" I afiked. ^^Why, just as this," he replied. '^ K these fellows (we're all pretty 'cute in this country) have a worn-out cow or horse, or one that is ^ down ' and can't git up no how, they just puts them on the line to get 'em killed, and then they swears they were valuable animals. Giddy sheep always gits afore us a-purpose; them we don't care for; but now and then, at nights (when we can't see 'em, and haven't the hint to increase our speed), them cows and bosses, and it may be an old bull, do sometimes make a considerable difficulty.
