tation as horsewomen extends all
through the bunchgrass regions, and
they have a standing offer of 500 re-
ward for any cowboy who will per-
form any feat of horsemanship which
they will not equal or surpass, but no
man has yet claimed the reward
These girls take care of 500 head of
horses, a band of 1900 sheep, and
numerous cattle, together with their
father performing the entire work of
the ranches, including breaking and
branding the wild horses and all the
other arduous duties which pertain to
stock-raising. About one year ago Su-
sic started to round up a bunch of
wild horses which seemed on the
point of getting away from her. They
were on a slightly elevated ridge of
rim rock, which was so narrow that
she was unable to pass them and head
them OF, whereupOn, without the
slightest hesitation she spurred her
broncho on the edge of the level on a
dead run and landed on the Level
ground nine feet below, without being
dismounted or injuring her horse, and
succeeded IN turning Tue DduQ D8ck
and rounding them up.
The horse upon which she per-
formed this remarkable feat is a thor

fifteen of his best horses, and the
same which she rode into Pendleton.
Marcialette, the oldest, is no less a
dextrous horsewoman than Susie, and
is an artist in all the branches of her
profession. but she is also famous as
an expert shot with rife About one
year ago she took few days on from
the routine business of the range and
went into the mountains for game.
In less than two weeks she killed and
sent home from the woods twenty-six
deer, without counting coyotes, jack

During the past week Pendleton has
been enlivened by the presence of
William Walker and his two daugh-
ters, Marcialette and Susie, who hail
from near Dale, on the north fork of
the John Day River, in Umatilla coun-
ty, Ore.
William Walker, the father, Is So
years of age, was born in Kentucky,
whence he removed to Stoddard coun-
ty, Missouri, where he served as
Confederate guerrilla during the Civil
War under the celebrated Chief Guam
trefl- At the close of the war Mis-

more salubrious region and crossed
the plains alone on horseback in 1865
He stopped year or two in Idaho,
where he supported himself by trap
ping and hunting, and he became ia
nous as a killer of bears In 1867 he

row county, where he engaged in stock
raising.
About twenty years ago he removed
to his present location in Umatilla
county, where he has been engaged in
the raising of horses, sheep and cat
tie. About this time he married Mag
gle Barker, daughter of John Bar
ker. who was killed at Heppner by
'.Bill' Jones in a brawl. The mother
of Walkers wife was a Pitt River
(CaL) Indian, and therefore Walkers
children are now quarter-breeds, the
strain of Indian blood being very ap-

PoInts on sIlaee Making.


From Farmers Review: A CORE
spondent at Ogden, Utah, writes:
From time to time we have noticed
interesting articles in your paper on
silos- We have in mind using green
pea straw for silage, but are not post
ed as to the hest method of building
and filing the silo. Can you send
us some data on this subject In
these days of cheap silo literature and
OF s1lo discussions galore at every
farmers institute and convention, as
well as in the agricultural press, it
seems hardly necessary to take up
space with descriptions of meth
DDS of building and filling silos.
The correspondent can get a small
treatise on the subject for the asking,
by writing the secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., for copy of
Farmers Bulletin No. 80, Silos and
Silage. If he wishes to study the SUBJ
ject more in detail, there is Professor
Kings Physics Of Agriculture ($1.75),
which gives up considerable space to
the construction of silos, and "a Book
on Silage," by the writer ($1.0O), both
of which books may be ordered
through the Farmers Review, Chi
cago, Ill. In the latter book COM

wooden silo and for a 1OO-ton stave
silo are given, with elevations and
framing plans, sections, etc., from
which silos can be readily constructed
by anyone at all familiar with build
ing operations. AS the correspondent
apparently has not had previous ex-
perience with silos the best plan
would be for him to build small tank
silo of beveled lumber such as is used
in making water tanks. Then anoth-
er season when he has gotten some
experience with silage and has found
out that he cannot do without it, he
will very likely want to build larger
silo and can then put up more sub
stantial atwood structure that will
not require the attention that stave
silos at best require.
AS to making silage from green pea
straw, will say that 1 have not had
any personal Experience with this ma
terial as a silage crop, but can see no
reason why it will not make good ST.
lage if properly packed in a modern
silo, and if it is not allowed to dry
out too much before being placed in
the silo. The best way is to run it
through a feed cutter and cut into
inch lengths; wetting the top with
about two gallons of water per square
foot of surface is to be recommended
if the pea vines are not pretty green
as they go into the silo.-F. w. Woll,

Plants for the Children

Each one of our experiment stations
adds it's quota to the list of new enter
prises. In a recent public document,
the station at Mesilla Park, New Mex
leo, states that it is anxious to do all
in it's power to aid in the work of beau
tifying the surroundings of the rural
schools of New Mexico. To this end it
is willing to send, free of charge, a
small supply of such trees, shrubs. and
plants as it has available to the au-
thorities or teachers of rural schools
of New Mexico who apply for the same.
1t has already sent out stock for such
purposes. 1t is expected, of course.
that where such stock is sent out, it
will be cared for and watered when
necessary. There is a natural gravita-
ton toward the rural schools, through
which the station work becomes ex-
ceedingly effective. The New York sta
tion at Cornell is doing a similar work
in sending out flower seeds for distri-
button among the scholars of the state.

Prof. w. A. Henry, in his book on
Feeds and Feeding says: by soil
Ing is meant supplying forage fresh
from the fields to farm stock more or
less confined. The first American wri-
ter to bring this subject to the atten-
Ilon of our people was Josiah Quincy,
whose essays in 1920 were later gath
cred into a book entitled the "Soiling
OF Cattle" now out of print. Quincy
points out six distinct advantages from
sohing: First, the saving of land:
second, the saving of fencing; third,
the economizing of food; fourth, the
better condition and greater comfort
of the cattle; fifth, the greater product
of milk; sixth, the attainment of ma
nure- According to this author, there
are six ways in which farm animals
destroy the articles destined for their
food. First, by eating; second, by
walking; third, by dunging; fourth, by
stating; fifth, by lying down; sixth,
by breathing on it OF these six, the
first one only is useful; all the others
are wasteful. Quincy reports his own
experience where twenty cows, kept
in stalls, were fed green food supplied
six times day. They were allowed
exercise in the open yard These twen-
ty cows subsisted on the green crops
from seventeen acres of land, where
fifty acres had previously been re-

The United States Bureau of Soils
and the University of Illinois are
jointly undertaking the soil survey of
Illinois. Work has begun in Tazewell
County. In doing this work it is nee
essary to proceed slowly, and take
samples of the soil from the surface
to depth of three to six feet. Soil
maps will be made, which will show
the location of all the different classes
of soils. The samples are to be taken
by means of augers- The experiment
station at Champaign will supplement
the soil survey by means of analyses
of samples of the soil taken This
work is certain to be of great value to
the farmers of the state, as it will
make more intelligent treatment of
the soils possible. 1t is expected that
1000 square miles of soil will be sur
yeyed this season.

From the Farmers Review: Large
quantities of cantaloupe of various va
rieties are raised in the central and
southern portion of this state unless
the crop is injured in some way by clI-
matte conditions. Our main early sup
ply, up to two years ago, was grown in
this section. Extreme southern sec
tions of the country are going into the
business very heavily this season, yet
their product will be out of the
way, or will be crowded out by the
Illinois crop when our home product
is ready for shipment, unless for some
reason the quality of the homegrown
is poor. Large quantities of water
melons are grown in the Carmi (Illi-
nois) district, and the last of the Mis-
souri, crop is crowded out of our mar
ket when the Illinois stock begins
coming, on account of the difference in
freight Indiana also ships quite
heavily to this market at about the
same time the Illinois crop is being
harvested. The Rockyford cante-
loupes grown in Colorado are OF su-
perior quality to those grown farther
East, unless climatic conditions are
bad during the ripening of the melons.
Crop was short all round last season
and very high prices ruled The acre
age will be very large this season, and
it is probable that results will be salts
factory to growers, although consump-
ton has increased very largely in the
last few years-C. H. Weaver, Chi

From Farmers Review: From what
observation / have been able to make
l believe that exhibits at Farmers In
stitutes interest many farmers and
their wives that cannot be reached in
any other way. They take a pride in
bringing the best product from the
field, garden or pantry, and in this
manner become a part of the institute.
and after they have attended one ses-
sion they are convinced that it is a
good place to be and after receiving
good cash premiums they go home
feeling that some one has been work
ing for them In this way many far
mers become interested and make
good workers for the cause. If no ex-
hibits had been made these same far
mers would have remained at home

Institute consisted of or what benefits
were to be derived from them--Ed-
