PARE FOR TROUBLE.
MAY CALL OUT MILITIA
Cavalry in Readiness to Assist
Game Warden Against
Indian P0achers.

Denver, Nov. 26-Adjutant General
Overmeyer today wired Troop A, state
cavalry, at Grand Junction, to be in
readiness for an immediate call in case
Game Commissioner Johnson's s force
should not be equal to the Indians in
the White river district This troop
Of cavalry is much closer to the scene
than the Denver troops and can be on
the ground within "a hours.
Fear is expressed at the capitol that
Commissioner johnson Will make AL
attack upon the Indians against over
whelming odds.
The Uintahs and Uncompahgre Utes
are not making trouble this year, but
White rivers, who once occupied the
territory which they have now in
vaded.
In the past the Indian agents have
kept the White rivers on the reservation
because of the bitter feeling of the
tribe towards the whites, who, they
claim, took possession of lands be-
longing to them without right or
treaty.
It is reported that even larger
number of Indians than the 500 pre-
viously reported have left the reserva-
ton and are slaughtering hundreds OF
deer in thee vicinity of Yama and
White rivers.
Commissioner johnson will station
pickets at the state line to prevent the
passing of the Indian pack trains with
their loads of plumber from the state.
He is determined to arrest some of the
Indians with game in their possession,
if possible, in order to have the laws
regarding Indian raids tested.
This afternoon Governor Thomas
received communication from Secre-
tary of Interior Hitchcock at Washing
ton, stating in substance that the de-
partment had sent it's Indian agent to
scour northwestern Colorado for
marauding Indians, but he had failed
to find one. There was hint in the
communication that this would off
cially end the correspondence SO far as
the government was concerned. In
stead of reassuring Governor Thomas
it had a tendency to make him more
vigorous in his application of the
state law. He has reports from
different men on file proving con-
clusively that Indians have slaughtered
over 500 deer in Routt and Blanca
counties.

The range of the honey bee is but
little understood by the average per
son, many supposing that bees go
miles for the nectar of which honey
IL made. In fact, they go only short
distance. If bloom Is plentiful near
to where the bees are located, they
will not go very far, perhaps n mile,
but IL bloom Is scarce they may go
Ave miles. Usually about half that
distance is as far rs they may go
protitably.
There are cases where bees have
been known to so eight miles in a
straight line, crossing body of water
that distance to land. If while the
bee was out the hive should be moved
only ten or twenty feet, It would be
hopelessly lost. This is reason why
hives should not be moved in summer.
When hives must be moved in summer
the work should be done Mt night time
when the bees are all at home, or on a
wet day when they are not dying. a
board or other object should be placed
in front OF the hive to mark its new
location. There Is no doubt but that
bees are guided by sight, and also by
smell. They are attracted by the color
of the bloom and IL they are nj work
on certain kind Of bloom they are not
likely to leave 1t for another rs long
as they can find that particular kind.

dozen varieties of red, black and

the fruit was mostly gone. The rows

Regardless of claims made by the
chemist for the high feeding value of
wheat bran, because of its albuminoid
content, the writer has many times
been disappointed at the results when
fed TO hogs Even coarse shorts given
in abundance fail to produce corre-
spending gains in weight. Some time
ago an American Experiment Station
made test with wheat bran as COM
pared with corn for feeding hogs.
Twelve pigs were used divided into
four uniform lots.
The pigs varied in weight from for
ty-tivc pounds to fifty pounds. The
first lot of these pigs were fed Il ra-
lion of fermented or sour bran; the
second lot was given untreated bran;
the third LOT had bran and corn meal;
and the fourth lot was fed corn meal.
The pigs were weighed each week to
the end of the experiment, The above
ration was fed for ninety-nine days,
and then all the lots We're fed for
twenty-onc days more on corn meal
During the first period the bran-fed
lots did not gain very well. They
took on fat and growth very slowly.
The average daily gain for the 30 days
was, for the fermcnted bran lot, .6l
pounds; untreated bran lot, 20; bran
and corn meal lot, .7G; and for the
corn meal lot, LOS. This was Il decd.
ed gain in favor of the corn meal, and
showed that sourlng bran had no ef-
feet on its digestibility and feeding
value.
The second period brought out some
points OF interest. When corn meal
was used as the entire ration, the lot
that had in the previous period been
fed fermented bran with Il daily gain
of but 81 pound, now increased at the
rate OF 1.A4 pounds each day. Like
wise, the lot fed the untreated bran
increased from 20 pound as n daily
gain to 1.24 pounds, The corn and
bran lot increased from &c pound TO
.SS pound daily gain; and the corn
meal lot increased from los pounds
to lbs pounds daily gain. AS long
as bran was fed the pigs, the daily
gain and increase was small. This
was the case even when fed in con.
nection with corn meal. Substantial
growth took place during the whole
feeding period with the corn meal fed
lot
The experiment clearly shows that
bran is desirable as a food for pigs un-
der no circumstances. 1t Is too coarse,
and contains too much fiber TO be
profltably and economically used. The
assertion that souring or fermenting
bran greatly increases its value does
not stand the test In this experiment.
In fact, little is gained by fermenting,
for during the period n difference of
but forty cents was made In favor OF
the fermented over untreated bran.
! While there was n profit of $4.6l in
feeding bran to pigs, the profit OBJ
tained by feeding corn meal was $S.9i,
or difference of $i.33. This is too
much difference to be n case of error,
and it shows that corn meal Is SUI
perior to bran as Il pig food, and that
the latter is for the purpose undeslra-
bic and unsatisfactory, The Farm
