other dangers beset the Argonauts
Many succumbed by the wayside be-
fore they reached the new land Of
promise.
The gOldfields were soon crowded
with ambitious diggers. and there was
not wealth for all. Some became mer-
chants and traders; some adopted agri-
culture as a means OF existence.
Back in the mountains is a place
called Waukomo. Here in the early
heroic days gathered little settlement
OF pioneers. The men and women felt
that they had common bonds or sympa-
thy. They were strangers in a strange
land and we're banded together against
the Indians and thieving Mexicans.
One member OF this community was a
cattle owner. He had a big ranch and
an extensive herd OF stock. He was an
American by birth and was in close as
ISOLATION with his neighbors.
AS some of. his cattle began TO disap-
pear. the owner instituted a search for
the stolen property. \ number OF Mex
leans were suspected. and the Amer
the return Of the animals. One morn
ing he started alone down a certain Sc
Guided valley for the purpose OF finding
the robbers. He had all his valuables
with him. as was the custom OF the
country.
AS the American did not return with
the cattle, his friends became alarmed.

a few days would not occasion sur
prise. but as weeks passed and the man
did not appear a company started out
10 search for him. They had not gone
far when the body Of the unfortunate
man was found lying on the ground. A
bullet had done the work.
In the trial which followed the guilt
OF no one could be established. Sever
al MeXicanS were arrested. hut were
later released and at once disappeared
from WaukOmo. The years which
have since passed brought many
changes. The memory OF the ancient
murder was forgotten.

the party was well dressed. After pur-
chasing supplies the strangers drove
away. Every few days enc and per
haps two of the young men returned

ever, did not show himself again. and
itwas noted that the old man had act

There is but one person who recalls
from personal knowledge the murder
OF the American cattle owner. He is
Judge Gibbons and is now very elder

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of most remark
able offer which is TO be made to women by
The Deiineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
oew century, The De!inedtor offers To distri.
butte SIT 500 among 1901 women. The plan
Is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one Of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
lation OF that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list OF
subscribers-which of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is, that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass |,
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest $500.
The total amount Of prizes given away IN this
class is $1,000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other classes, and as
the number Of towns in class increases be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount Of prizes given
away to a class increases, so that in Glass T.
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners.
Furthermore, 10 everyone who fails TO win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred IN
habitants of the town from which the con.
testant sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer and
one which the famous old Delineator is well

Plant Bulbs Now.

Autumn is the time to plant
bulbs for the best results in bloom
ing next season. A good plan is
as follows: Dig a trench the de-
sired length I foot wide and feet
deep. In the bottom of this place
well-rotted manure to depth of
about I foot. Finish filling the
trench with rich soil and then
plant the bulbs in this. AS the
dirt in the trench settles fill it
with some sort of mulch. Bulbs
put in in this way will furnish
large and profuse bloom.

COrnStalks as Fodder.

Farmers who do not cut up their
corn and utilize the fodder appear
to be satisfied with 60 per cent of
a crop. The stalks, leaves and
husks that are allowed to go to
waste in the fields constitute about
40 per cent of the nutritive value
of the corn plant. In some sea
sons the ears alone do not yield
any margin of profit above the
actual cost of production. The
corn fodder grown in Iowa this
year, if cut and properly cared for,
would be worth at least $4,000
600 above the cost of labor re-
quired to save it. About three
fourths of that amount will be
wasted.

WinteriHQ the Bees.

Before Winter sets in every
colony should be strong-that is,
every hive should be we'll filled
with bees.
While a weak colony may sur
vive the Winter, it is poorly pre-
pared to endure a long period OF
confinement, and, in case of an
unfavorable Spring, it is always
first to succumb to disease.
Before going into Winter quar-
tiers every good colony should
have stored away in the hive, to
be used as needed, from twenty
FIVE to thirty pounds of good food.
If they have not good supply of
honey they should be fed. A
good feed is made by heating
water to the boiling point and
stirring in double its weight of
good cane Sugar-granulated IS
best.
If the bees are to be Wintered
on the Summer stands, care should
be taken to see that the roof is
tight and some protection from the
north and west should be pro-
vided. Close up the entrances
partly, and bank up with sawdust
or coal ashes even in front with
the entrance. Arrange so that
there will be no occasion for dis
turbing the bees during the Win
ter. Everything necessary should
be done before cold, bad weather
sets in.

FOR THE FARMER,
Celery.

The gradual earthing up of
celery should be attended to when
the weather is suitable. In earth
ing up it is necessary to success to
have the foliage dry and the soil
in a friable condition. Otherwise
the attack of rust which is so pre-
valent this year will be aggravated.
Even if the plants are healthy,
landing with the soil is almost
certain to start the disease. Go
over the lines and remove all rot
ten leaves before adding the soil.
Where it is found impossible to
blanch with soil on account of bad
weather boards can be used tenn
porarily for this purpose of start
ing the process in time on either a
portion of the crop or all of it by
standing a line of I2-inch boards
along at each side of the celery
drill. Of course, celery can be
blanched altogether by the aid of
boards, but many people consider
the celery superior when earth
has been used, while others object
to the expense of buying boards
for large crop.
In handling celery it is impor-
tant to keep the soil from getting
into the hearts. This can be done
by drawing all the stalks closely
and evenly together, holding the
plant with one hand and packing
the soil firmly around with the
other, or they may be tied with
string. The soiling can then be
finished with the spade or pillow
While the plants are growing, a
or 6 inches is enough to put in at
one time.

Storing Cabbage for Winter.

For keeping out of doors, select
a smooth piece of ground, choose
firm cabbage heads, turn upside
down and place in long rows.
Cover with earth to the depth of
about two feet. The cabbage will
keep we'll and can be easily got
ten out. This is much better than
having the cabbages buried in a
large pit, for then there is danger
of spelling when the pit is un-
covered. Cabbage can also be
kept i'll the cellar in barrels if
plenty of earth is used SO that the
heads will remain compact.

Small Barnyards Are Best.

From an economic standpoint
most barnyards are too large. The
loss of fertility is far greater in a
large than in a small one. This
loss is not so noticeable in newly
settled fertile sections of the coun-
try as in States east of the Miss
issippi River, where the once fer
tile land has been robbed of its
organic matter. Thousands of
farmers lose every year in keep
ing the stock in large yards dur
ing the feeding season enough
fertility to equal in value ton or
more of the most extensive COM
mercial fertilizer. If the yard is
large with high, dry place at one
side, the stock will congregate
there and the richest droppings
are lost by being trampled in and
mixed with the soil, unless the
surface soil is all hauled to the
field, which it would often pay to
do. Many yards extend to the
creek or are located on hillside.
From there the loss is also heavy,
unless the washings extend over
pasture or cultivated field. The
better plan is to make the yard as
small as possible consistent with
convenience, also have it protect
ed by roof to a great extent. The
saving of fertility and comfort OF
stock will pay big annual in
terest on the investment.
