Majaoka's squaw was plying her primi-
tive hoe, fashioned from the shoulder
blade of buffalo under her lords di-
rect and personal supervision, though
he was now stretched supine under the
big cottonwood that cast it's shade be-
fore his door. Intelligent supervision
was Majaoka's forte, and he proposed
to hold it.
1t requires some exertion, too, to roll
a cigarette, but Majaoka rolled his with
his own hands and leaned forward with
a grunt to poke among the dying en-
bers of the fire for a coal to light it
with. This arduous operation accom-
plished he leaned back and allowed the
smoke to stream luxuriously through
his thin lips and expansive nostrils.
Presently with another grunt, for
here was more toll, he lifted up ITS
heavy, bass voice, and his obedient wife,
instantly dropping her wild westward
hoe, hurried to the tepee.
''Eevah, the belly god possesses
you," she grumbled, land, behold, there
is nothing for the pot"
Majaoka did not so far forget his dig
nifty as to answer at once, but presently
he remarked: "My son has sought the
hills. He followed Runs-Sideways. He
will return with meat"
"Much meat will he bring" observed
Voice-of-the-Pines, wrinkling her
brown nose sarcastically, "he could not

The first rider was badly handicapped
by an antelope thrown across his pony
in front of him, and the other was over
hauling him rapidly. He seemed anx-
ious to do so before reaching the spot
where Majaoka stood, but in this effort
he was unsuccessful, for the antelope
was thrown from the reeking, quivering
little pony at the old mans feet as he
drew rein and leaped to the ground.

ter for Good Care. 8s=ss
The tendency to concentrate or spe-
cialize farm operations may be carried
too far. It is generally und erstood and
acknowledged that the pig is an inn
.portant part of the stock Of q dairy
farm, and can be kept on what would
otherwise go largely to waste, that
some small farmers who are not in the
dairy business begin to feel that they
have no place among pork raisers. This
is not wise conclusion. When man
simply puts the value of the food Of
the pig against the value Of the pork
produced, he shows that he has either
forgotten something or neglected some
important opportunities.
There are many things about any
farm and garden that pig will make
better use of than anything else. We
know that hens will eat most Of the
kitchen waste, and the weeds can be
turned into fertilizerin compost heap,
but the pig will dispose of the weeds
much better and quicker and get enough
out of them to pay for his trouble. Then
there is always lot of fine, rubbish
about the premises not edible and which
would go off in smoke if burned, that
is needed in the pig pen for an absorb
ent, and will there be made into rich
fertilizer. There s>-no other animal
on the farm that is so much neglected
as the pig and none that will pay better
for good care and enough of it.
Good care does not consist wholly
cfwarm pens and sufficient food, though
these are too often lacking; it also in
c1udes change Of food. sunshine, water
to drink and something besides muddy
filth to root in. While the most serious
problem before our farmers is supply
ing and sustaining fertility, and while
they know that what they get from
the pig pen is among the most valuable
that they handle, they seem to think it
is the duty of the pig or the pen. or both,
to supply this material. and when the
supply is small, cast no reflections on
themselves A man who cannot bring
his mind and his habits down to the
care of details enough to put his chip
dirt, weeds, leaves and supply of muck
or sods into the pig pen regularly and
often will not succeed with poultry.
If he will do this he can make the pig
pay so that the pork will be clear gain.

WATER FOR CATTLE.

No Doubt That 1t Pays to Heat 1t In
Cold Weather.
Some farmers will scarcely believe it,
yet it is nevertheless fact, that stock
is more apt to suffer for water in win
ter than in summer, says the Livestock
Champion. When the weather is warm
it is not difficult to remember that
stock need water, and if one happens to
forget they will remind him by gather
ing about the troughs and calling. But
when the weather is very cold the farm
animals and fowls prefer to seek the
shelter of the sheds and stacks, and as
they drink so little of the icy-cold water
usually supplied, one is misled into
thinking they are not thirsty. -,
1.-THE idea that stock does not need
much water in winter" said an ex-
perienced stock-raiser, lis mistake
that cuts down the profits at an aston
ishing rate. Give an animal only about
half enough water, and that cold as
ice, and it neither fattens or grows at
profitable rate. We throw food away
when we give it to stock that is half
famished for water. If one will consid-
er the matter for few moments, he
will see why stock living on dry feed
need water, and lots of it. And have
found that water fresh from the well
is warm enough for stock in winter. If
for any reason it is impossible-or diff
cult-to supply them with fresh water,
then l would use a large tank and put
in a tank heater"
1t bears repeating that there is moth
ing which will hinder the growth and
fattening of stock like the lack of
plenty of warm water, and it lies in the
power of every breeder to supply his
stock with this necessity. The ice
should be broken every morning, and
when the fresh water runs in from the
we'll it can be easily taken off. Of
course it is great deal of trouble and
mighty cold job, but it pays big in the
long run,

Wheat for Young Pigs.

Wheat is now higher than it has been
for several years, and too dear to feed
to grown animals of any kind. Yet we
think a small amount fed daily to young
and growing pigs will pay even at pres
ent prices. 1t will probably pay to feed
wheat to all pigs. in part to replace the
corn ration that is nearly always in
furious. Wheat contains more nearly
the elements of growth than any otter
grain except peas or beans, and only
sheep can be induced to eat whole
beans. Wheat bran and wheat mid
dlings cost nearly as much as wheat,
and are not SO good for feeding pur-
poses if given in moderation.
