A Dakota Calf.s Long Fast.

Thomas Larson living near De Smet
missed a calf in the fall justabout the time
he finished thrashing the grain. Last
week he had occasion to go near q straw
stack, and imagined he heard the bleat of
some animal; hunting about the place and
listening lie heard the same noise again,
and he was sure it came from within the
pile of straw. He dug into it AMI found
his missing calf. 1t had been there twenty
three days. When last seen it was
rolling fat; nov it had become a skeleton
and was scarcely able to walk. No doubt
it found nourishment in the straw, but that
1t could live all that time without water
was what beat all records.
