A PUEBLO LEGEND.
The story OF the Great Flood and tn,
Monster Turtle.

Hhe Stcry 81 the treat FLOOD and the
Monster Turtle.
The children or the Pueblo Indians
have a Noah's ark OF their own. and
some Of the animals it contains are
very curious indeed-Such animals. In
fact, rs civilized young people are not
acquainted with Among them are
mountain goats. queer creatures OF the
cat tribe and prong horned antelopes.
An OF these animals are made out Of
clay and baked like pottery. after
which they are painted in quite an
artistic and lifelike fashion.
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo
Indians have n tradition OF great
flood. The catastrophe occurred long
ago. when they lived IN the ancient
land OF their forefathcrs. one day the
earth began 10 shake and strange
rumblings grew louder and louder I'M
I'll at length an opening yawned I'm
the middle of the central square OF
the town. out OF the opening gushed
a mighty stream OF water. overwhelm-
Ing the houses and flooding the val
ley, SO that the inhabitants fled with
their live stock TO ncighbOring noun
tainS.
Presently there rose out of the hole
in the earth the head OF Il gigantic
turtle. which lowered to the very roof
OF the sky Everybody was terror
stricken. but the chief man OF the
town. whose name ought TO have been
Noah, pluckcd up the courage TO ask
the great reptile what & wanted. The
turtle replied that It was hungry and
that It's appetite could be appeased
only 10y the sacrifice OF a young man
and young woman. There was moth
ms 10 do but 20 obey. aud SO a hand
some youth and a beautiful girl were
delivered up 90 the turtle. which took
them In Its mouth and sank with them
through the hole. Immediately all OF
the water flowed away. and in the
place who're the reptile had appeared
there rose up a large black rock. which.
according 10 the myth. may be seen TO
this day, tCStifying 10 the truth of the
story.
Unfortunately. the deluge left things
In such a damp and uncomfortable
condition. after destroying all OF the
houses aud most OF the portable prop
erty, that the people thought Il wisest
to 20 away. So they started on
Journey northward. the whole tribe OF
them. and the crane. which Is sacred
bird, few ahead 90 pick out the drlest
route. At length they came 10 the re-
gion which their descendants now in
habit and which is so extremely dry
that the water supply Is always a sub
ject Of anxiety.

MAKING CHEAP MILK AND BUTTER.

Large amounts of timothy hay
are often fed to dairy COWS because
it is thought to be very rich and
nOurishing foodStuif, but in exper-
iments made with p cows at the
Station last winter, il would seem
that shredded Stover when well
made and preserved can often be
used to replace the timothy hay.
to advantage. As timothy hay
brings from $1,000 to $500 a ton
on the market and shredded stover
Is practically a waste product on
the farm, the economy of utilizing
the latter Is apparent to all.
There Is another question of
more than passing interest to the
dairyman, and that Is the balanc-
ing mp of his ration with some con
centrate rich in protein. Gluten
meal and cotton seed meal were
fed on the basis of the content of
digestible protein for this purpose
and provided the market price Is
the same per pound of digestible
protein, there is little to choose
between the two, except that the
gluten meal was not a readily
eaten 10y the COWS and it made the
butter fat soft; whereas cotton
seed meal was readily eaten and
increases the melting point of
butter. which gives it a decided
advantage for feeding in summer.
These results show that the
proper basis of comparing food
Stutis Is according to the amount of
digestible protein they contain. 1t
Is thus apparent that farmers often
make the mistake of feeding wheat
bran which contains only l. per
cent of digeStible protein, as com
pared with cotton seed meal. which
when pure contains 37.2 per cent
of digestible protein. ~ cotton
seed meal and wheat bran can often
be bought at practically the same
/ price, the farmer who buys wheat
bran pays three times as much for
the digestible protein contained as
the farmer who utilities cotton seed
. meal.

The COURIER predicted that the
State Committee would recognize
the fusionists. because the man
who controls the State machine has
many friends and lieutenants in
that combination.
On Of the principal beneficiaries
in the Norfolk fusion combination
is a man named Alvah III. Martin.
Everybody knows the name of the
man who controls the machine in
Virginia, and knows that he is
either directly or indirectly re-
spOnSiblc for the action of his
friends in recognizing the fusion
of Republicans and So-called Dem
ocrats in Norfolk county.
1t Is a rotten mess. and no sane
man can marvel that the straight
out Democrats of Norfolk county
feel disguised with the outlook.

While in New York the other

whose investments in manufacture

ciently large to entitle him to be

Interstate Commerce was to meet
next November to prepare their
bill which is the outcome of the
hearing in this city in the early
summer. My friend is not a rail
