implication being that such a course is I'M
fair toward young officers in the regular

that the regular army be stripped of its

robbers turned Mr.. Berry loose and
allowed him to walk home.
This woman has probably committed
almost every crime on the list, includ-
ing murder, burglary, highway rob-
berry, horse and cattle stealing. boot
logging whisky and many others. She
is charged with having committed
many of every kind.
Dora Cox has been arrested ten
times, but has always succeeded IN
making her escape. The officers vow
that she will never escape from the
Jail she is now In. Dora says nothing.
She has been kept in jail for weeks
before she succeeded in escaping. Her
usual method Of procuring her free
dom was to make the jailers fall IN
love with her. 1t is said she always
succeeded in making them love her
and that the jai,~as halfway admit 1t
by saying that RAE hypnotized them.
In either event the result has been the
same-Dora escaped.
About three months ago this remark
able woman was arrested In Blaine
county Oklahoma. after a hard chase.
She was charged with wholesale horse
stealing and had in her possession at
the time nineteen horses which she is
supposed to have stolen. The officers
claimed that Dora was really the head
Of a gang of horse thieves which OPP
Grated extensively in Oklahoma and
the Indian territory for several months,
much to the worry of the officers.
Dora was placed in the jail at King
fisher and remained there several
weeks before she managed to free her
self again. The officers soon began an
other search for her and worked hard
to find some good clew to her where
abouts. All of the officers in the neigh
borhood assisted in the hunt, as she
did not confine her operations to any
one county.
A few days ago she visited her old
haunts on the Arkansas river east of
Perry, Why're she used to entertain tile
Dalton gafYg, and 1t was there she was
finally located by the officers. She was
with one of the outlaws with whom
she had been associated in the profess
sion OF stealing horses, and it is sup
posed they were planning another raid.
AS soon as the officers received word
that Dora Cox was in the neighbor-
hood they went at once to her stop
ping place. Dora received word Of
their coming and left the place in such
haste that she was barefooted and
bareheaded, with the officers not very
far behind her. Then came one of the
most interesting chases ever seen. Dora
led them a merry chase through
swamps and thickets and in and out OF
timber, over hills and through rivers.
Sometimes they were close to her and
they were not, but all the
time the pursuers were determined
that this time she should not escape
them.
Finally, after a pursuit which lasted
thirty-six hours. they succeeded In
overtaking her near Earlsboro. Before
they caught up with her, Dora's rifle
had become useless as the result OF a
fall off her horse. so that she could
not use 1t. Nevertheless when the Of

The amount Of moisture in new oats
makes them much dearer than old
when. used to feed horses, says the
Boston Cultivator. The difference in
price is almost always Offset by the loss
in weight when the oats are kept till
freezing weather dries them out, but
still more serious loss from the feed
ing of new oats Is their laxative effect
on horses hard at work. They also
often cause collie in horses not used to
them. 1t is best always to buy some
old oats to mix with them and thus
gradually accustom the animal to their
use. II no old oats can be had, mix
some wheat bran with them, feeding
dry Of course, and give at first very
few oats, gradually increasing the
quantity as it is found that the horse
is not injured. If this ration is too
laxative, give some wheat fine mid

village of Earlsboro, Ok, a few days
ago.
Dora Cox is the present name Of the
most noted woman outlaw that ever
lived In Oklahoma. She has had many
other names during the years she has
been living in the territory. Among
her more recent aliases are Dora
Hawthorn" Darling Nell" and Buck
skin Nell" She at one time assumed
the cognOmen of Little Eva" She
has had at least twenty aliases.
The story Of her life is interesting
and would almost rival that Of Jesse
James, the most noted desperate
whose exploits ever laid the foundation
for dime novel. Very little is known
Of her early life or Of her parents, as
she is very reticent about her history
and her people. No one who will tell
really knows what her real name Is.
Dora Cox is 40 years old, and for many
years has defied the laws of God and
man. In brief period OF confidence
Dora once said that in her younger
days she was regular attendant at
church and Sunday school, but that be-
fore reaching her maturity she went
wrong and has ever since travelled
downward at very rapid pace until
now she is about as tough as a woman
can be.
She was at one time companion
OF Belle Starr, notorious female out
law who flourished in the Indian ter
ritory some years ago. Many claim
that she was also an intimate friend
OF the Dalton boys and the members
OF the Cook gang At the opening of
the Cherokee strip Dora settled on a
fine claim on the Arkansas river, near
Blackburn, thirty miles from Perry. 1t
is claimed that the claim was selected
for her by Bill Doolan, the notorious
outlaw, and that she was often visited
there by Doolan and the other mem
bers CT the Dalton gang. who would
sometimes stay there for weeks at
time. She subscribed for dozens Of
newspapers, and by this means sue
ceeded in giving the outlaws much use

It is also charged that Dora donned
male attire and participated in the

Notes on Silage.

In an address to California dairymen,
as reported in the Pacific Rural Press,
N. D. Eshleman said:
In filling the silo, the corn is cut In
three-quarter-inch pieces, and scoop
OF galvanized iron placed at the top
end OF the elevator drops the cut mass
evenly into the silo. A small stream
OF water kept running on the fodder.
as 1t is carried up the elevator, greatly
assists In making solid the packing of
the well-trcmped mass. II too much
water is used, the silage becomes dark
colored, and the COWS do not like the
flavor as we'll. II too dry, it neither
heats we'll nor becomes compact, and
dry white mold will be found in patches
all through the silage. When the corn
settles rapidly, the silage is sure to be
sweet, for the air Is excluded quickly,
therefore silos are made deep, rather
than broad and shallow The great
silage crop is corn, for while the value
OF pit-preserved grass was we'll known,
1t has been the cheapness Of corn that
has given the building Of silos the great
impetus 1t has received during the past
few years. The Yankee way of grow
ing corn was carried back to the Faith
erland by German who had farmed in
the western corn belt, and now many
crops OF Indian corn f1aunt their beau
ty in the sunshine of northern Ger
many.
Methods Of Siloing.-We silo the first
crop Of alfalfa, for the purpose Of de-
stroying the fox tail seeds and pre-
venting the cows from bloating on this
early succulent food, for it is dangerous
as pasture. In weeks time, the fields
that were cut are fit pasture for the
cows. Following the first alfalfa, comes
the oats and pea crop. In August and
September this silage is fed: if the silo
is not emptied in time the corn is put
In on top. There is often silage two
years old In the bottom of the silos, and
1t is as good as ever; however, we try
to feed 1t out every year if possible. as
the silo walls should be allowed to dry
and the inside lining be protected by
a coat Of coal tar to prevent the acid
developed in the silage from acting d.
rectly on the wood. Sometimes there
is too much corn for the capacity of the
silos; it is then cut and loosely stacked
near by. and, as soon as enough silage
has been fed out to make enough room
for 1t. this corn is cut, made very wet.
and run in on top. 1t makes second
rate silsge, but Is little superior to
dry fodder for milk production. Early
amber sorghum requires extra care. as
1t must be made wetter and tramped
closer than Indian corn. 1t is also bet
ter to feed 1t during cool weather, as
in summer time the top ferments rap
idly. and several inches will often spoil
between the hours Of feeding. Egyp-
tan corn stalks do not become tender
In the silo without they are almost rot
ten and worthless for the cows.

Mr.. ]. H. Sanders. In his book on
1.-THE Breeds of 1.-Two Stock" says: "The
thoroughbred horse is peculiarly
British production. OF the
Oriental sires 1t is generally admitted
that the Godolphin Arabian imported
into England in the year 172S-170
years ago-is the last that has proven
Of any special benefit to the English
stock; and while this blending Of the
blood Of the Orient with the old races
OF England furnished the foundation.
there cannot be the slightest doubt
that the care and skill Of English
breeders in selecting and coupling with
the stoutest, best and fleetest for sue
cessive generations has been a more
potent agent in the formation Of the
breed as 1t now exists than the Arabian
and Barb blood to which tradition has
ascribed its superiority. Many impor-
tations Of the choicest blood of the
Orient have been made both to this
country and England within the last
half century, and yet scarcely name
among them can be found in the pedi-
gree of horse that has distinguished
himself upon the turf. In ev-
cry instance in which the speed and
stoutness Of our thoroughbreds have
been tested side by side with the Ara
bian they have proven superior to their
eastern competitors. This fact is so
universally recognized that nearly all
countries upon the civilized globe have
for many years regarded the English
thoroughbred. or blood horse as the
basis Of all substantial equine improve
ment. Our American horses
are largely permeated with the blood
of the English thoroughbred. Many Of
the best stations and mares of Eng
land have been imported to this coun-
try, and their influence Is seen on ev-
cry hand. 1t enters largely into the
groundwork Of all our trotting strains.
and 1t is doubtful II single great road
horse or trotter has been produced in
this country that did not possess large
share Of this royal blood as a founda-
ton upon which the trotting super
structure has been built"

Ducks.

From Farmers Review:-There
we're several letters in recent num-
Der of Farm Poultry stating their
views of the low price of ducks. and
whether the low price would be a
permanent one. AS general thing,
they each had the same idea as to the
cause, and that was less consumption.
Some thought it was partly caused by
the war scare, causing fewer persons
to 90 to the seaside summer resorts
for the summer, as is customary.
others held that cold storage of ducks
was what did the mischief. OF course
there were large numbers of Western
ducks shipped into the Eastern cities
to help glut the market, ard some OF
these ducks sold for less than cost of
producing them. They all seemed to
think that another year would not be
so bad, and that in few years the
prices would get to be quite profitable
again, as there would be maaiy "uuck
men" either go entirely out of the
business. or else curtail the production

LoNDoN's NEW SENSATION.

Londoners are interested in the
horsewomanship OF the Baroness"
Won Rahden, now the sensation at the
Empire. A graceful and charming
rider, says the Daily Graphic, she has
magnificent stud trained to perfec-
ton, and nothing could be prettier
than to see the perfect and seemingly
effortless command which she exer-
cises. All the tricks and display Of
the "Haute Ecole" can she perform
and with an added distinction which
is rare, while one Of her musical rides
is very fascinating to watch, the sense
of lightness which the horse almost
conveys as 1t circles round seemingly
treading on air, being very remarkable.
The most sensational feat the baroness
shows is when she makes Czardas rear
straight up on his hind legs and walk
