ROCKY MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Mildred Bevington's Account of n Long
Shot at an Antelope.

Mildred Bevington's Account of Long
Shot at an Antelope.
Mildred Bevington, a.Rocky mountain
girl living in Wyoming on the border OF
Jackson's Hole, has recently been sue
ccssful at hunting game which men
usually find hard to get. She has killed
half dozen black-tailed deer, and wears
boomers while hunting. The bullets
she uses are soft-nosed, so that when
they hit they mushroom and spread out
TIL they are half an inch across. Not
one of the deer that she hit has run
more than 200 yards, and usually they
have died before they have gone ten
rods. She finds antelope hunting the
best sport of all, and she writes to Il New
York friend:
II want to tell you about an antelope

went away up above the ranch, tethered

Eoonom,.ins with Manure.

1t never pays to stint the manure
dressing for any crop that requires
much labor to grow It. All the labor is
made more effective in proportion as
the soil is made more fertile. In
other words, on rich land crops that
require most labor may be grown
with profit, while on poor soil the
balance will be on the loss side of the
account. The proper idea of econo-
MIXING with manure Is to apply it
where 1t will most aid in increasing
soil fertility. This is in every case
where q part of the benefit of the
manure will be soon applied 70

LAND OF THE COMMON PEOPLE.
The Future of California VIII Be Very
Different from It's Past.

Dlnerent from It's fhst.
The future of California will be very
different from its past, 1t has been the
land of large things-of large estates,
of large enterprises, of large fortunes.
Under another form of government it
would have developed feudal system,
with landed aristocracy resting on
basis of servile labor. These were its
plain tendencies years ago, when some
body coined the epigram, California is
the rich mans paradise and the poor
mans hell" But later Developments
have shown that whatever Of paradise
the Golden state can offer to the rich il
will share, upon terms of marvellous
equality, with the middle classes OF
American life.
Over and above all other countries,
it is destined to be the land of the COM
mon people. This is true because, ow-
ing to its peculiar climatic conditions.
it requires less land to sustain fam
jly in generous comfort. For the same
reason cheaper clothing and shelter, as
well as less fuel suffice, while it is pos
sible to realize more perfectly the ideal
of producing what is consumed. More
over, it is a natural field for the applica-
ton of associative industry and the
growth Of the highest social conditions.
Indeed. the country has distinctly failed
rs a land of big things, and achieved its
best successes in the opposite direc-
ton.
Its true and final greatness will con-
sist of the aggregate of small things
of small estates, OF small enterprises,
of small fortunes. Progress toward this
end is already well begun. 1t must go
on until the last great estate is dismem-
bered and the last alien serf is returned
to the orient. Upon the ruins of the old
system a better civilization will arise.
IT will be the glory of the common peo-
pie, to whose labor and genius it will
owe it's existence. It's outreaching and
beneficent influence will be felt through
out the world. --William +. Smythe, in
Century.

rrea,ment of Frosted Combs

When n bird becomes frosted on the
comb frozen comb), the remedy is to
keep it in some place where the wind
cannot reach it. Fanciers protect such
tall-comb breeds as Leghorns by plac-
ing choice specimens in a barrel at
night, having block of wood in bar
rel for a roost. The first thing to do
il to swab the injured comb with
glycerine. The next day the comb
should be anointed with an ointment
composed of equal parts of ichthyol and
lanoline, which should be repeated
every day. Healing is slow process,
and only relief from pain can be afford
ed. as the comb may slough of entirely.
II is an advantage to keep fowl which
has been frosted and healed, as 1t VIII

ing winter.-Fnrm and Fireside.

SILAGE EXPERIENCE.
Results Obtained at Various State Ex-
pertinent Stations

pertinent stations.
According to the agricultural depart
mcnt at Washington compilation of
experiments from various experiment
stations shows the following results:
The Massachusetts station found
mixed silage of corn and sofa beans
very fine. Vermont station made SUI
perior silage of oats and vetch; also OF
onts and peas.
Silage produced more milk at the
Ohio station, more butter at the Penn
sylvania station. and more mutton at
the Michigan station than beets. Even
when there is loss of 20 per cent. in
the feeding value of silage it is cheap
er feed than roots. The Wisconsin sta
ton preserves silage at loss of only
eight per cent. of its feeding value. The
loss in curing fodder is never less than
90 per cent.
The Pennsylvania station found si-
lage and cured fodder about equally di-
gestible. Kansas station grew 100 tons
of silage on ten acres and it sustained
rs head of cattle 1872 days-a result
which it is thought could not be at
tanned with ten acres of cured fodder.
Use the largest variety of corn that
will mature before frost. Experiments
at the Pennsylvania station show that
as corn approaches maturity the
amount ofnutriment itcontains and the
digestibility both increase very rapidly.
The total yield of the digestible food by
the matured crop was two or three
times that of the same crop in the silk
and &c per cent. greater than when the
ears began to glaze. The Minnesota
station found that 100 pounds of silage
from the northern and southern, ard
sweet corn, all contained about the
same feeding value.
Silage is distinctively cattle feed,
but the Kansas station finds il not good
for feeding bulls. 1t may be fed in
moderation to horses, pigs, poultry and
sheep, but sour silage is dangerous TO
sheep.
There has been some complaint that
silage gives milk an unpleasant flavor.
This is probably due to sour and decay
| ing silage. The Kansas station found
that If the silage be fed just after milk
ing, instead of before, this disagreeable
| flavor disappears.

TALK ABOUT COLTS.
Winter Is an Excellent Season to Begin
Their Education.

Winter Is an Excellent Season to Begin
Their Education.
BE sure that the colts have exercise.
Standing upon board floor cooped up
in the barn all the time is very bad for
what sheltered paddock, in which the
young horses (and for that matter the
older ones us we'll that do not get exer-
else on the roadD, may frolic and frisk
about is quite Indispensable to every
well-ordered stable.
There is no better way to get horse
badly foundered than to drive him fast
enough to make him warm and then
leave him in a cold draughty place with
out protection. But you certainly do not
want your horse foundered. Therefore,
see that he is well protected by a wooden
blanket and not very sweaty or hot
when brought to stand.
The sooner colts education begins
the better il will be. This winter will
be good time To handle the young
stock. Get them well acquainted with
their trainer. Put harness on them
and walk them about, thus giving them
some idea of what is to be expected of
them in future. Do not persist too long
at ere time. Short lessons are MOST
satisfactory to both colt and master.
Never tire the pupil, especially at the
beginning Of training.
Kindness is of the greatest value. A
lump of sugar, a small potato, or bit
of carrot will work wonders with both
colts and old UNCONSTITUTIONAL Stock

Amer,cnn Corn for Mexico.

Owing to the removal by the Mexican
government of import duties on corn
for the two states of Vera Cruz and
Tamemlipas, and owing to the scarcity
of grain there. large shipments are be-
ing made from this country, chiefly via
Mobile, Ala, which has facilities for
shipping to Mexican ports. One steam
ship company has already carried 7oo,-
600 bushels, and for August and Sep
TENDER the total reached 100000 bush
els. What these figures mean is shown
by comparison with the total shipments
to Mexico for the year ending June 30,
1896, the aggregate being 1.677,653
bushels. In the year previous the total
was only 1851 bushels. The corn
sells for $3.50 bushel IN Mexican
money.

THE GUESTS OF BOZEMAN.

We suppose that even President
Cleveland, in the maze of an address
on missions, would not presume to
speak slightingly of those of the Union
veterans who are a factor in the pop
ulation of Montana. There are about
five hundred of them, composing the
twenty odd Grand Army posts which
are organized in this state The boys
in blue are giving several days OF this
week to their twelfth annual encamp-
ment. They are met in Bozeman; we
may be sure that their reunion will be
a time of good cheer, with it's renewed
comradeship and its recital once more
of camp and field experiences that will
never cease to be interesting.
The veterans at Bozeman miss very
little of celebrating a significant ami
versary; thirty years ago last Monday
the first Grand Army post was organ
ized-that interesting event happened
at Decatur. ILL.,. April 6. 1866. To-day

OREGON'S FIRST DISTRICT

Silver gets another black eye at the
hands of the oregon republicans who
refused to nominate Congressman Her

enemy of silver in his stead. Binger
Hermann is on his sixth term in con-
gress He is a good man for oregon
and, as well, a good man for the Pacific
coast. He ranks, in the present con-
gress, second on the rivers and har-
bors committee. and. by the way, he is
the only house member on that COM
mittee representing a constituency west
of the state of Missouri; he has done
excellent service for the length of the
Pacific coast Mr.. Hermann is also the
chairman of the house committee on
the irrigation of arid lands, and he is
familiar with the work that falls to
that committee. He pulled true for sill
yer in the extra session of 1898, and the
western senator's who have lately taken
a pronounced stand and defied their
party felt that Hermann would be
loyal to them in their fight
A shame IL is that silver should be
thus betrayed in the house of its
friends. We believe there is not a
shadow of doubt that the large major
ity of the republicans in Mr.. Hermann
district are the friends of free coinage
But the goldbug clique seems to be in
control in oregon republicanism. II
