a man of the name of Potter or Porter,
who is a wonderful rifle shot, persuaded
three or four men to join him in the bust
ness Of killing antelope for their skins.
They selected this crossing place for an
ambush. In the woods near the summit
of the divide and about a hundred yards
from the game trails Potter's assistants
were stationed. Potter who was armed
with a heavy breech loading magazine
rifle, concealed himself in the woods about
half way down the mountains from which
point he could see the trails for a long
way in both directions. His ambush was
not over seventy yards from the trails.

fire on them. They did not know where
to go. Behind them rifles cracked. Be-
fore them a rife cracked. They hestated.
They stood still. Their comrades were
falling dead among them. Others were
wounded and cried aloud. They ran in
circles on the hillside.
Porter fired steadily and accurately ct
the frightened animals. When that herd
had drifted past him he retilled the empty
magazine of his rife and opened another
box of cartridges and imQatiently waited
for another herd to cross the divide.

THE GREAT STORM.

The New York Sun, in it's extra
Blizzard edition of the 18th, says:
every citizen of New York who
went out of doors this morning in
complinnce with tho mercilcss re
quiz cments of affairs can say to him
self that now truly he knows what n
blizzard is. Now he knows what is
that overwhelming, all-searching, all
penetrating, life destroying blast
which stops the breath, paralyzes the
lungs, and dcmornlizos the heart of
the unfortunate that faces it or flies
before it OIL the Western plains The
icy wind OF this morning, laden with
fine needles of snow, penetrated the
clothing, froze upon the hair, blinded
the eyes of man and beast and was
tho finest sample Of the blizzard of
the West New York has ever known.
There have been storms rs bad, per
haps, i'll years long gone by, but we
had not then learned to know them
i'll their style and quality as the mod
ern blizzard, that dreaded visitation
of our Northwest.
Every citizen this morning could
take to himself realizing sense of
how it might be that strong man
should yield to the fury of the storm
or that one might fall down and die
even in n street of this grert and
crowded metropolis. 1t is many,
many years indeed since the city pre-
scented so extraordinary an aspect
business suspended, trains at stand
still, the streets choked With aban.
doned wagons, street cars and vehi.
cles of all descriptions, struggling
carriages with plnnging horses DIES
pcrately striving to convey merchants
to where no business awaited them,
shops closed as if pestilence was
abroad, and in every great avenue q
stream of struggling, falling and
painting human beings seeking fran
tically to reach the lower city Then
too, the air filed with rumors of ac

proach to the city choked and cul

ENSILAGE.
A TAzEwELL FARMER GIVES HIS Elk

VALUE OF ENsILAeE ASA
STocK FooD.

| Editor Ne,cs: tho benefit oil
those who contemplate building silos
or are interested in the preparation
of ensilage, 1 will give my experience
so far as it extends.
BY way of experiment, last Fall,
put into a silo the corn, in roasting
ear state, from twenty acres of land
The cost TO do this, Of manual labor,
amounted to SAG.
On January 10th 1 opened the silo
and commenced feeding therefrom
115 head of cattle. giving to each
steer three pecks of ensilage once n
day and OF hay as much as he would
eat, which was about one third of
what lie alto before began to feed
ensilnge.
In order 10 ascertain the value of
the ensilage rs food, 1 weighed so
head of these cattle on the 10th Of
January, the day on which opened
the silo. On tho 10th of February
weighed again and found the gain iu
weight to be nine pounds per head.
Then on the 10th of March | weigh
ed the cattle third time and found
that they had gained during the Sec
ond month eighteen pounds, making
n total gain in two months of twenty
seven pounds per head.
My COWS doubled in their yield of
milk in eight days. Horses eat it Mt

anyone how greedyumy cattle are for
