A man, being seriously i'll, asked his

good old man. On leaving he tried to
comfort his wife, saying that while

he took one Of the big rubber boots
and dragged II along as fast
as he could run into the
barn, where he knew the corn
and oats were kept in large bag; and
what do you suppose this funny little
boy did then but fiji It with corn and
oats and hurry back to the chicken
house to hide Il behind the door.
Every morning he would Ill his little
rubber boot, and feed the chickens.
Now these chickens were not as
hungry as John Robert imagined, and
they really couldn't eat so much. So
there were little piles of oats and little
piles of corn all about the yard.
One day John Roberts papa said,
where does all this grain come from?"
He hunted about the chicken-house,
and very soon found the rubber boot.
So he called John to him, and said,
You are n naughty boy to take the
grain, and you can't have any more"
This seemed very cruel to little
boy three years old; and he cried and
cried, and was very unhappy.
While he sat crying, up came the
three little bantams, scratching and
clucking, and seeming to say, Don't
cry any more, little boy; It will be all
right" This made John feel much bet
ter, so he stopped crying, and began to
think what he would do next.
What do you think he did this time +?
Why. he looked all about until he found
n big bottle. with which he ran to the
barn; and this he filled to the top with
corn and oats, and took II back to the
chickens.
Now, when his papa and mamma saw
how persevering he had been, they said
well, the poor little boy has tried so
hard to be kind to his chickens that
we will let him have the bottle of
grain;" and after that day John Rob-
ert had fine fun feeding them, and
they grew fat and strong, though new
er very big, because they were ban
tams. you know.
One day up flew one of them on to
the fence and said, "Coci-a-doodle-d !"
as loud and clear as big rooster might
have done; and then, as you may sup
pose, John Robert was a proud and
happy little boy.-Christian Register.

Winter Care Of Stock.

Tho winter care OF stock upon the
farm means much to the stock owner,
who has valuable stock to care Tor
during the long winter to come. Here
In Maine we have to iced and care
for our stock for six months at least;
we can see that much labor Is needed
in order to carry the stock through
the cold and inclement season that Is
upon us.
Owing to the plentiful rains OF the
latter part of the summer and fail, the
pastures and fields produced exceiient
feed to keep the stock in fine growing
order, and never did stock OF all Klhus
come to their winter quarters In pet
ter condition than at the present time.
Now let the stock be kindly cared
for during the winter months, and the
summer and fall gain will not be lost
to their owners. Give good warm quar-
ters. feed plcntifully and regularly,
water at regular hours, provide good
bedding, plenty of sunshine, good ar
keep clean and quiet, and II the am
mails are healthy and thrifty a gooo
gain may reasonably be looked fol
when spring comes.
We have seen many cattle that come
to the barns in fall in good condition
that were neglected and SO poorly
cared for during the winter that al
the gains that were made during tn
summer and fall while at pasture wer
wholly lost, and no growth made say
a little growth of bones.
Now this is wholly wrong, as TN
food consumed is worse than WASTED
and the years growth almost who'll
lost. Let the farmer, or stock owne
look this matter over at the presei
time. and make sure tnat the comm
winter his stock may be made to mai
some growth, and not lose all gam
made the previous season. Good fe'
and kind care will certainly do tn
thing every time.
We feel that as the price OF catt
foods are high, save hay, that MAJ
will be apt to run their cattle throui
the winter on scant allowances, al
the growth as we'll as the food will
nearly lost. 1t is poor policy to sa
at the spigot and lose at the bung-ho
when a little better feeding will st
all the leaks, and help the anim'
right along, and keep them in gro
ing condition through the winter, a
the spring will find them on the re
to make fine growth for the NJ
season.--A. Z. Taught, In Ameri1

Cl1ipmunk Hunting.

IL was part of the Indian boys
hunting to find new and strange things
| In the woods. They examined the
slightest sign of life; and IL bird had
| scratched the leaves off the ground, or
a bear dragged up root for his morn
ing meal, they stopped to speculate on
| the time when IL was done. In Indian
| Boyhood" DIR. Charles A. Eastman,
himself an Indian, tells of the way in
which he and his companions caught
the animals OF the wood
Our devices for trapping small ami
mails, he says, were rude, but they were
often successful. For instance, we used
to gather up peck or SO of large,
sharp-polnted burs and scatter them in
the rabbits burrow-lllte path. In the
morning we would find the little fellow
sitting quietly in his tracks, unable to
move, for the burs stuck to his feet.
Perhaps the most enjoyable of all
was the chipmunk-hunt. After the first
thaw the chipmunks burrow a hole
through the snowy crust and make
their first appearance for the season.
Sometimes as many as fifty will come
together and hold social reunion
These gatherings occur early in the
morning, from daybreak to about nine
o'clock.
We boys learned this, among other
secrets of nature, and got our blunt
headed arrows together In good season
for the chipmunk expedition.

to a dozen or fifteen. to see which
would get the most. On the preceding
evening we selected several boys who
could initiate the chipmunk's call with
Wildcat straws, and each of these pro-
vided himseiI with supply of straw.
My first experience of this kind
still remember we'll II was fine crisp
March morning. and the sun had not
yet shown himself as we hurried along
through the ghostly wood. Presently
we arrived at place where there were
many signs of the animals. Then each
OF us selected tree, and took up his
position behind It. The chipmunk-call-
possible, and began to call.
Soon we heard the rustic of little
feet on the hard snow; then we saw
the chipmunks approaching from all
directions.
In few minutes the chipmunk- k-caller
was besieged with them. Some ran
all over his person, others under him,
and still others ran up the tree against
which he was sitting. Each boy re-
mained immovable until the leader
gave the signal then a great shout
arose, and the chipmunks in their
fright ran up the different trees.
Now the shooting-match began. The
little creatures seemed to realize their
hopeless position; they would try again
and again to come down the trees and
escape from the deadly arrows. When
ever several of them rushed toward the
ground together, we all hugged the tree
and yelled frantically to scare them I'D
again.
Each boy shoots always against the
trunk of the tree, so that the arrow
may bound back to him every time:
otherwise, when he had shot away all
of his arrows, he would be helpless,
and another, who had cleared his own
tree would come and take away his
game; so there was warm competition.
At last all the chipmunks were killed
or gone, and then we went on to an
other place, keeping up the sport un-
I'll the sun came out and the chip
munks refused to answer to the call.

NATURAL SITE
FOUND FOR A LARGE

A wire was received yesterday from
Chi # photographer Newall. in Wash

that he would go to Westwater Utah
and make survey of the Westwater
dam site. 1t appears that when Mr..
Matthes found out that the land in
Utah was higher than the surface of
the surveyed canal in this state. he
began at once to cast about to deter
mine if there was not some feasible
plan bv which the water could be
raised.
He took survey of the river at
Westwater he found natural site for
large storage power dam. Here he
found that the river was about only
100 feet in width and the walls rise
here to the height of seventy five to a
hundred feet. This giving an admir-
able site for a power dam. In fact
says Mr.. Matthes one of the best in
the whole country.
This storage dam could be erected
there. electricity generated and carri-

er the Utah land.
In speaking of the matter this
morning Mr.. Matthes seemed to be
very jubilant. He said that the
power dam would solve the problem
for furnishing water to the lands in
Utah.
AS soon as he had determined the
matter about the power dam he wrote
a lengthy outline of the plan to his
chief. Mr.. Newells and the letter
reached HIM about the time he had
finished the work of surveying. with
the result that he has now the in
structions to go ahead on the survey
ing of the proposed dam site and make
out all the plans for same. in conjunc-
tion with the canal for this state.
