FIRST WALKING MATCH.
Resolved Itself Into Running
Match, and 1t Was for
Territory.

In 1706 William Penn bought from the
indians a tract of land bounded on the east
by the Delaware, on the west by the Mesh
aminy, and running as far north ''as a man
can co. in II days. After his death his son,
Thomas Penn, thought it would be good
idea to survey the boundary. On August 25,
1877, this was done.
Three men lined up for the start, James
Ieates, lean Yankee; Solomon Jennings
and Edward Marshall, an old hunter The
sheriff, the surveyors and a number of In
dams who wanted to see fair play accom-
panied them on horseback.
The three men ran.
You are not walking" protested the In
dams; you are running"
They are going" replied the sheriff
"and that's what the treaty says-as far as
man can go in day and half
So the Indians went home.
4eates collapsed ON the second days run
and died two days later. Jennings lived in
shattered health but a few years longer
Marshall was tougher-in better training,
we would say nowadays. He kept on,
reached the enc of the blazed trail, seized
the surveyors compass and still kept going
IN the same direction. When Sheriff Smith
at noon said Haiti" Marshall had covered
6S miles through rough forest, or twice as
far as the Indians had expected.
The sellers were ''only Indians" you see

change the bedding ground frequent
ly to an entirely new camp" and this
is most conveniently done by sheltering
their herder in a movable house, as
shown in the illustration.
[ used to have tent for the purpose,
but this has many Objectionable fea-
lures, mainly because it necessitated
building fence around it to keep cat
tie from tearing it. 1t is also impos-
sible to keep out tramps, who some
times help themselves to the herder's
provisions or blankets during his abb
sence. The size of the house is six by
ten feet and six feet from floor to caves,
and all that is necessary is to load the
camp tricks" hitch on two horses, and
pull it to the fresh camping ground.
The herder locks it when taking the
flock out to Craze in the morning, and
L have never yet had it tempered with.
1t has been in constant use for Is years.

Green Bones for the Hens.

mess of green bones at least twice
a week will always prove beneficial, as
they provide lime for the shells and
serve as change. Some do not believe
in feeding grain at all in the summer
season, preferring to allow the hens to
work. A pound of green bone cut with
a bone cutter, twice or three times a
week, given to dozen hens at night
is better than feeding grain, as the hens
nearly always come up with full crops
when they are on the range. When in
confinement in late fall or winter the
green bone will continue to be of val
liable assistance.-Farm and Fireside.

PUMPKINS FOR HOGS.
Estimates as to Their Value Based on
Experiments Conducted Mt the
Oregon Station.

We did not think pumpkins as valu-
able for feeding to hogs as we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless to throw in
few when boiling small potatoes or
other roots for the hogs, as we thought
them too watery when boiled, and they
seemed to be relished better when given
raw. We notice in bulletin sent out
by the Oregon Experiment station
that they tested pumpkins for hogs
weighing 40 to 200 pounds each for
four periods of IA days each. The
pumpkins were cooked with shorts.
For the first two weeks it took 1915
pounds of pumpkins and 2.12 pounds of
shorts to make pound of gain. The
next two weeks it took 14.95 pounds
of pumpkins and 1.3 pounds of shorts.
In the third period 14.39 pounds of the
pumpkin and 1.79 pounds shorts, and
for the last two weeks 14.46 pounds of
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds of shorts.
The average gain for each hog during
the whole time was about ~ pounds
per day, and counting pumpkins at
$3.50 ton and shorts at Sig the cost
per pound of gain was 80 cents. This
may have been cheap enough, but we
think it could have been made cheaper
upon raw pumpkins, and by using lit
tie more shorts, or perhaps mixture
of equal parts of cornmeal and shorts.
After hog weighs 200 pounds alive we
are not afraid to give him as much corn
meal as he will eat until we get him fat
enough to kill. They tried to increase
the amount of pumpkin and reduce the
amount of shorts, but the pigs object
ed, and, as will be seen above, they had
to increase the proportion of shorts.
We never tested pumpkins for sheep
feeding, but have no doubt they would
work eNcellently well. We never re-
moved the seeds when feeding them,
and never saw that they were doing any
injury to either cattle or hogs.-Amer-
lean Cultivator

Cheap Shelter. for sheep.

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that they do not need an ex-
pensive building as shelter. A shed
open on one side suits them as we'll as
a tight barn, and even better, as they
require considerable ventilation. But
it should be so arranged that both rain
and snow can be kept out of it, for the
sheep should not get their fleece wet in
cold weather. 1t takes too long to get
it dry again, and the whole body gets
chilled, reducing vitality, even if they
do not take colds to set them cough
ing and running at the nose. Nor should
water be allowed to run into the shed
from outside. A sheep will not lie down
in the mud or on wet straw. Keep the
inside of the shed dry and well Uttered
with clean straw and the sheep will be
healthy and thrive well, even on mod
crate feed.-American Cultivator.

Ducks Have Few Diseases

The duck is afflicted with but few dis
eases, the most prominent being vertigo
and commissions. The first comes from
overfeeding, and can only be cured or
prevented by keeping them on a grass
diet exclusively. Commissions are
caused by dampness, poor food, filthy
coops and lice. The best remedy is to
clean out the coops, make them dry,
and feed on nourishing food. Ducks
should always have dry quarters at
night. Lice seldom exist on ducks, and
when the quarters are very filthy the
verznin will sometimes put in an appear
ance.-Facm and Fireside.

TROUGH FOR FEEDING PIGS.

lengthwise of the trough and dividing it
into two parts, they are also prevented
from getting into it and fouling their
food. Strips four inches wide are nailed
to the edges of the trough at requisite
distances, separating he trough into
proper space for each pig, and thus pre-
vents crowding. In order to avoid fight
ing among the animals, there should
always be more spaces provided than
there are pigs to feed.-Fred o. Sibley,

just the Thing for Southwestern
Farmers Who Are Engaged 2n
the AngOra Business.

Angora goats are great browsers, eat
ing off the leaves of bushes and trees as
high from the ground as they can reach
when standing on their hind legs with
their front feet up in the trees. Such
browsing gives park-like appearance
to any area on which they are feeding
to any extent, and that is especially true
of the vicinity of their bedding ground.

service in fighting the fire. All day
hundreds of people have wandered aim
