DROWNING A BUFFALO.
4 Texan Cowboys Most Brilliant and
Difficult Feat of Roping
wild bull.

A group of cattlemen at the live
stock convention at FL Reno were talk
ing about the skill OF the Oklahoma
cowboys in throwing the lariat, when
r. +. Word, Sr., whose home is at Hlg-
gins, Tex, but whose cattle are mostly
in Oklahoma, according to an Okla
homa correspondence of the Kansas
City Star, said: Il had an experience
roping when | was young man which
put me through lively gait. AS d
Texan who had followed the range all
his life, l felt that there was not a
bronco on top of the ground that could
throw me, and nothing on four legs
that / couldn't rope and tie. In the
summer of 1871 | was on the Little Ar
kansas river, about five miles south or
Wichita, Kan. / had splendid horse.
trained for the range and almost as
intelligent as a man. One afternoon
came suddenly upon five big buffalo
bulls that had wandered away from
the main herd. / pulled my pistol,
killed one of them. and not having time
to reload decided to rope one. Shortly
afterward / found myself with a big
job on my hands.
"At the first throw my rope dropped
around the old bulls horns. Now,
when a buffalo makes up his mind to
go anywhere in a rush he travels in a
straight line. You may be able to turn
him a little, but in the main he will
keep his course. That was what this
bull did. He headed toward the Little
Arkansas, with the evident intention
of crossing it. My horse, always fear
less when handling cattle, was timid
when in close Quarters with buffalo,
and | was unable to check the bull, who
soon had me going south at a lively
clip. | was becoming OF the opinion
that the only way out Of my trouble
was to cut my rope and let the bull
carry it off.
"The Little Arkansas is narrow in
places, while at no great distance away
will be found pools four and five feet
deep and from 25 to 40 feet wide. The
bull rushed headlong into one of these
pools. The opposite bank was perpen-
dicular and about a foot and half
above the water. Taking in the situa-
ton quickly, / sawthat l could run out
my rope far enough to enable my horse
to cross at q narrow, shallow place. He
jumped across in fact aheadlof the bull,
which had to wade. My horse had to
keep going, and jerked the rope taut
just as the bull started to climb the
bank. The jerk pulled the bulls nose
into the water and his shaggy head
against the perpendicular bank. He
made great uproar, but my horse held
him there as in n wise. Strange as it
may seem, l succeeded in keeping that
bulls nose under water until he
drowned. always regarded this as my
most brilliant feat in roping."

TONES and Disinfcctants,

The Douglass mixture, composed of
pound of copperas, two gallons of
water and gill of sulphuric acid is
one of the best disinfectants, but if
preferred the acid may be omitted. A
teaspoorful of the solution to each
quart of drinking water is sufficient
as tonic. A few drops of tincture
Of iron in the drinking water of chicks
will be found excellent, and a table
spoonful of lime water in each quart
of drinking water has often been serv-
iceable. When the growing chicks are
debilitated teaspoonful of mixture
of chloride of iron and phosphate of
soda makes an excellent invigorator,
and if given in the drinking water
they will not use too much.-Ameri-

The remark is often made bees al
ways sting me if | go anywhere near
them | am inclined to think this is
due largely to the imagination and
not the bees, writes +. w. Greene, in
the Brookfeld (Mo.) Gazette. Many
people when bees are flying around
them think that they are hunting
place to sting you, when the fact real
ly is they are most probably hunting
something to carry home TO store up
for winter. Bees are the gentlest and
most docile of all animated creation.
You can tear their homes to pieces or
take all their honey and leave them to
starve and they will not resent it, but
with all patience will go to work and
endeavor to repair the damage done,
provided you handle them right.

the barn by the side of the drive floor is
really the imaginary boundary Of 'the
feeding floor. A slight additional ex-
pense would have provided a partition
with rolling doors, similar to that in
the rear which separates the stable
from the boxes, thus inclosing the
stable. Over the stables and boxes is a
loft with a matched floor. The NOV
floor is also matched.
Nearly under the granary window is
a cathode, by which the cats enter the
barn through circuitous alley around
the granary. They say this entirely
prevents the depredations of rats and
mice. For my own part, ] should have
preferred lining the granary with sheet
iron, which could have been done for
three cents per square foot.

DO Fowls Need Exercise.

AZ fowl. are ordinarily fed exercise
is positively neccesary to enable them
to digest the food they take. A ration
of grain in large part and other things
in small part means that the fowls
will have to develop muscle and en-
ergy to dc the work of grinding. But
1t is possible to so feed the fowls that
exercise will not be of any value. This
Is shown by the French method of fat
tening fowls They are shut up in a
cage and fed on soft mash several
times a day, They are given no room
at all for exercise, yet keep perfectly
healthy and develop meat and fat at
great rate.

COLT AFRAID OF HORSES.
Was brought Up by Human Beings
and Is AnriGhted by His
own Kind.

This is a biography of colt who
was afraid of horses, says the Animal
World.
He was born on an Iowa farm, and
when only day old lost his mother
by death. The farmer determined to
save the life of the babe if possible,
so the whole family turned to in an
effort to accomplish this and make
of the colt a good and useful horse.
The problem of food was the first
thing to be overcome. As result the
colt was taught to drink. A basin of
warm milk was placed before him, the
farmer thrust a finger into the fluid
so that the tip projected slightly above
the surface. Prompted by instinct the
infant seized this tip between his lips
and sucked vigorously. Gradually the
tinger-tip was lowered until the colt
was actually drinking. After a few
lessons he ascertained that this was a
fine way by which to get nourishment.
He waXcd in bulk and strength. Con-
stantly thrown in close association
with human beings, he regarded them
the men and women and the children
about the farm, from place to place,
treading right on their heels, and often
on their toes. He was bound to take
up quarters in the same house; soon
he was wise enough to lift the latch OF
the back door with HIS nose, and would
walk into the kitchen, creating havoc
with his tail and his ungninly hoofs.
He was very awkward.
And he was afraid of n horse. He
seemed not to know that he himself
was but horse, and that all his rela-
tives were horses. just as quick as
horse approached him he would run in
fright and seek protection.
Hoping that he would realize his fol-
ly, the farmer put him in a pasture
with another colt. But, instead of
picking friendship with this compan.
ion, colt No. stayed as far as possible
from him, and if colt No. . came near,
would show his teeth and chatter in
rage and fear.
The last heard Of him he was still
afraid Of horses, and almost useless for
anything but pet.

THE BROILER BUSINESS.
Some Reasons why No One She
Engage in 1t Without Long
Course of Preparation.

One must be more or less of a spe-
cialist to raise broilers successfully for
market, and unless the business is
thoroughly understood it is discourag-
ing. l would not advise anyone to start
in this work without long course OF
preparation. That can come only
through general experience with poul-
try, and then by attempting to raise
q few broilers each year for market, in
creasing the output year by year and
making additional facilities and im-
provements as the returns warrant IL.
To hatch out a chick and make it grow
to the broiler size just when the mar
ket demands it must all be accomplished
through artificial methods. 1t is going
contrary to all of natures rules, from
the time you put the egg in the incu-
bator until you kill and pluck the bird
for market. Consequently we must un-
derstand not the laws of nature, but
the rules that all have learned through
long years of experience.
In every lot OF Young broilers some
will grow much faster than others. and

classification of the strong and weak
Otherwise the strong will crowd down
the weak ones, take most of the food,
the best of everything, and actually
keep them from growing properly
through fear and intimidation. Keep
the weak ones together and the strong
chicks by themselves, and it may be
even a third division will improve mat
ters. The pugnacious chicks might well
be kept in separate pen, where they
can fight it out among themselves and
not vent their anger upon the more
peaceful ones. The most important dis
ease the young broilers and spring
chickens suffer from is bowel trouble,
and the food must be given to them
very carefully. This is often due to
the fact that the young chicks have not
taken enough grit in their food to
grind it properly. Chick size grit
should be given to them regularly, and
if they do not take it mix it with their
mash. Grit must be eaten by the birds
If their health is to be maintained. and
as they grow older large size grit must
be fed to them. Bowel troubles will
rarely develop where. sufficient grit in
one form or another is given to the
birds. Growing clicks should never be
crowded, and when the days are warm
enough they should be given all the out
door exercise possible. When they have

digestion, and when they have that few
