YUBA RIVER SNAKES
They Are Tremendous in Size and
Fierce as Tigers.
Nevertheless Fred Campbell Managed to
Beat One with Siphon Sight
Which Those Who Beheld 1t
WIN Never Forget.

There isn't the least bit of doubt, :"
Said Ranchman George Wilmot, of
Grass Valley, Cal, to New York Sun
correspondent, that there is a race. or
at least family, of monster snakes in
tigerous to the foothills of the noun
talns that rise above the Yuba River
valley. Some tremendous serpents
have been seen there. The biggest one
of these that l ever heard of being
seen was seen by a man named Fred
campbell, who drives, or used to drive,
soda-water wagon, delivering bottled
goods at different places along the river.
lie and man named Collamer were
driving along the Smartsville road one
day, and when near Moneys fiat they
heard q noise in a brush fence at one
side Of the road.
Great Suffers ghost exclaimed
Campbell. Look there, Collamer.'
He didn't have to tell Collamer to
look, for Collamcr was looking, and
looking so hard that his eyes were
hanging out on his checks, as well they
might, for, sticking out of the brush,
not twenty feet away, was snakes

couldn't have been forced into a six

belonged to soon began to make its
presence known, and Campbell could
trace the space it covered by the sway
ing of the bushes. which swaying. as il
a hard wind were agitating the bushes,
extended back for more than fifty feet
The great serpent had its big green
eyes fixed on Campbell, who says that
the tongue that shot in and out of the
snakes mouth looked like foot and a
half carving fork painted red The
snake plainly was bent on taking in
Campbell or Collamer or the
horse and wagon, or ali OF them,
for it came right on toward them
out of the brush, advancing slowly
but steadily. The horse had stopped,
and stood in the road trembling as

his bullying eyes fixed on the snake,
just as ii he had been charmed by il.
Campbell had no weapon of any kind,
but he was resourceful chap. and not
much given to sitting down-and letting
things get away with him without max
ing an effort 10 prevent it. While that
huge Iuba river serpent was drawing
toward him, Campbell got an idea. He
didn't know whether it would work or
not, but he had the nerve to try it. The
snakes big head was at last within a
yard of the wagon. and was raised even
with the seat. Campbell quietly picked
up a siphon of carbonic water and,
taking good aim, pressed the valve and
shot a swift stream into one of the
terpepts eyes, and before the snake
covered its head filled the other eye
with the water
Campbell says it was sight to seq
that snake when it got the stream in
Ats eyes. 1t dropped its head on the
ground. thrashed it around, and Missed
like escaping steam from an engine.
then il reared again, and thrust its
head out savagely toward Campbell,
who shot another stream from the
s;phon into both its eyes. That was
enough for the serpent. enormous as it
was. and Campbell says it went squirn-
ing and twisting away.
:" He went pretty fast. Campbell SAYS,
bus he was ut least half a minute pass
ing given point. and the smallest part
of his body, except his tail, was as big
as q pine leg"
The snake went straight for the
Yuha river, plunged in. and made the
water fly as it swan down the stream
as far as Campbell could see. 1t had
been out of sight more than a minute,
Campbell says. before Collamer's eyes
began To go back into their sockets
ngain. and it was five minutes before
Collamer could say a word, he was 50
far gone with terror. Then all he SAID
was.

RYE FOR PASTURE.
It's Possibilities n y Grass Substitute Ar
Worth Considering.

Its Possibilities NJ y Grass Substitute Are
Worth Considering.
II any of our readers anticipate n
shortage of late fall and early spring
pasture 1t would be well for them to
consider the possibilities Of rye rs .
substitute for tame grasses. When
breaking up our farms fifteen years
ago, preparatory TO seeding them to
tame grasses we made large use of rye,
sowing it in August and September,
pasturing 1t late in the fall and early
In the spring, and sometimes turning
off in time to get half or two-thirds of
a crop of grain. We do not favor the
growth of rye as crop in itself, be-
lieving that either wheat or barley
will yield more moneys worth, but
when sown as pasture and as nurse
crop, so called, for the tame grasses,
as well as a grain crop, we believe it
will pay any man who is short of grass
to sow rye for pasture.
In sowing rye for this purpose we
would pillow the ground as soon as pos
sible after harvest and marrow down
this land as fast as it was plowed.
This will settle it, prepare better
seed bed. and conserve moisture. We
would sow as soon as the conditions
are favorable for growth, usually about
the LIST of September, and II we intend
ed the land for pasture would sow a
peck of timothy seed at the same time.
If the season be favorable this will
afford good deal Of pasture in the fall
for any kind of stock as well as for
horses and sheep in winter.
Our lambs last winter had a picnic
on the Turkish wheat that grew up in
the stubble and it answered the same
purpose as rye. 1t will afford q good
deal of pasture in the spring and can
be cut for grain or not as circum-
stances warrant. Eight or ten pounds
OF clover seed should be sown in the
spring either on the frozen ground, or,
if the season be dry, as soon as the
frost is out, and covered with a smooth
ing harrow. Not the least advantage
of this method is that it renders stand
practically sure.-Indiana Farmer.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

FEED hogs regularly and do not over
feed.
ALWAYS supply pigs and all stock
with plenty of pure water.
BEWARE at this season OF the rotting
straw stack and manure pile.
Mix pound of sulphur with every
thirty pounds of salt to keep stock
hardy.
DON'T make the mistake of thinking
filth wholesome for hogs, but give
them clean mud to wallow in.
SALT all stock at least twice n week,
or, better still, keep a salt box where
they can go to it at will.-Home, Farm
and Fancier.
Coon digestion is the result of feed
ing enough to sustain the animal, but
not enough to keep the stomach over
loaded.
THERE is a growing discrimination
against very large, fat cattle, and a
growing appreciation of those of more
moderate weight. There is not, how
ever. unless in extremely rare cases,
such preference for cattle under one
year old.
In the days when sheep were kept
almost solely for wool it was COM
mon practice to keep wethers until
several years old. With the low prices
for wool which have prevailed for
some years, there seems no good rea-
son for continuing 1t.

RATIONS FOR HORSES.
Relative Value of Corn and Oats Estab
lished by Experiments.

Relative Value of Corn and Oats Estab-
lished by Experiments.
The Utah experiment station has
issued Bulletin No 36 on the Relative
Value of Corn and Oats for Horses.
The experiment is summed up as fol-
lows:
l. In this experiment with two sets
of horses, one set fed grain ration
principally of corn and the other a
grain ration principally of oats, the
horses sustained their weight the bet
ter on the corn ration.
2. The feeding was divided into five
periods Part of the time one horse
was fed in each set and part of the
time two. In every period save one
the corn-fed set did the better.
3. The feeding value of the rations
seemed to vary directly as the guam
tity of digestible matter that each con-
tanned.
4. A nutritive ratio Of l to 60 did
better than one of to &c.
5. To sum up the three experiments,
we find: First, that during the sum-
mer, corn and timothy were not so
good as oats, wheat and clover in main
tanning the weight of horses; second,
that during the winter, corn and limo
thy did as we'll as oats. clover and
timothy in maintaining the weight of
horses; third, that during the spring
and summer, corn, wheat or bran and
mixed hay produced more grain than
oats, wheat or bran and mixed hay.

The Weak Point In Farming.

The life of farmer has often been
called life of drudgery. There is no
occupation that has larger ratio OF
inspiriting labor to one whose tastes
are in harmony with rural life. The
weak point in American farming has
been the lack of appreciation of the
equipments necessary to successful
career. Too many men have been will
ing to be thieves of the soils resources
that they might swell their bank ac-
counts. To the young man or woman
fairly we'll educated, there is no more
promising field of enterprise. = Col.

The outlet of tile drain should not

the outlet constructed of stone or

Wealth to the Western Farmer 10 A.
sured by Its Completion.
For many years the work of creating
deep channels between Lakes Superior,
Huron, Michigan and Erie has been
going on. AT length the work is done,
or under contract TO complete, SO that
from all the lakes twenty-foot channels
may practically be said to exist. With
the completion of the inter-lake
channels, all the immense and rapidly
increasing navigation converges to the
common eastern terminus ut Buffalo.
The existence Of the great lakes has
made possible the so-called northwest,
since it has permitted the products of
the northwest to reach markets at a
much lower figure than has been
possible by all rail- From Duluth to
Buffalo, eleven hundred miles, it costs
about one-third as much as it costs to
transship and transport across New
York state. Increasing competi-
ton from those countries of
the world possessing cheap land
and cheap labor makes it
imperative on the producers, the farm
ers of the northwest, to search out, il
possible, some way of getting their
crops to the eastern markets at lower
rate than they have been getting. To
every producer in the northwest it will
be of interest to know that on Septcm-
Der 24-2G there will be convention
held in the city of Cleveland for tho
purpose of developing in a large way
the facts relating to this deep water
navigation from Buffalo eastward.
With view to decreasing the cost, it
is necessary to use the existing lakes
and river, with supplementary canals,
and to reduce the cost from Buffalo
east in some such ratio as has been Sc
cured in the upper lakes. An eminent
engineer, G. n. Dutton, who has given
the matter great deal of study, has
prepared the following statements and
figures, which beg to present, with
out comment, simply asking that they
be read aud thought on:
sixteen great states, namely. Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota. Iowa. Missouri, North Dakota.
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana.
Wyoming and Colorado, must ship their sur
plus agricultural products from the great
lakes to the scaboard Deep water navigation
would effect an immediate reduction in freight
costs, and consequent increase in crop values

and potatoes, four dollars ton on hay and
Ave dollars and upwards ton on straw.
