very fattest little calf within ten miles of this place.
 As she was born in the year of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. we named her Sacajawea, for the Shoshone In- dian woman, who 30 successfully guid- ed the great explorers, and whose sta tue was unveiled during the exposition. But partly because this name is long one for everyday use, and partly be- cause of the rather impudent manner of the calf itself, she was nicknamed "Saucy," an appellatiOn which seems more fitting every day.
 To look at, "Saucy," is a typical buff falo calf, seven months old. She is only two weeks younger than War Whoop' and "Tomahawk. the now famous team, but she Is considerably smaller, as 1t is natural that female calf should be. In color she is exact- ly like her brothers, but her fur is softer and more beautiful. Then, her hump is not so high, and her horns are neither so long nor so thick as those of the bull calves. Though she has been handled much less, she is quite as fearless as the other two, and there is a rouguish look in her eyes which makes every one want to hug her, and a tendency to lightness in her refrain from doing so. .I
 From the very beginning, "Saucy" seemed brighter and showed more character than either of the bulll calves. When I went into the pasture with the milk bottles, she was the first, appar- ently. to realize what was there for. If they were all lying down, she was the first to jump to her feet, and face me. Usually she would toss her pret- ty head two or three times, in the sauciest manner imaginable, and then, after giving two or three grunts, she would throw her short tail straight in the air and come galloping towards me with her little mouth open and all ready to receive the nipple through which she sucked the milk. -.,s.. j
 As young calf, "Saucy' was given to putting very much less than either War whoop" or ''Tomahawk, but perhaps this was because she consid- cred that kicking was much more eI- fective. At any rate, the bottoms Of her hoofs were in sight on the slight est provocatlon, and often enough without any visible provocatton at all. Many a time have I seen her, when driven into a corner, with the other calves about her. deliberately kick her way out, rapping her brothers right and left. And many time, when she has had ito pass very close to me, she has given me good one on the leg, on general principles. In short, a smart kick seemed to be her trump card, and she played 1t whenever she was in doubt, as well as when she was sure that it was necessary. B .3.f,. .s 7. What has always endeared her to me Is her intense loyalty to her broth. CTS All buffaloes are clannish, and
 "Saucy" is remarkably so When first began to take the little bulls out on the road with a halter. the heifer calf was much distressed, and, by her repeated grunts of dlsapprovaL made the others very difficult to manage, They would answer her promptly and many a time they would have rejoin- ed her had 1t not been for the six foot wire fence Then, as we returned,
 ''Saucy" would see us the moment we came in sight, and would make the oth-
 CT calves restless by galloping toward
 us, and grunting Indignantly as she

 van County fair, they were away for l five days and it nearly broke the lit- tie heifer's heart. She walked up and
 down along the fence, often standing | up on her hind legs in her efforts to get through 1t. when at last her
 brothers returned, she was almost be
 side herself, and 1t seemed that she
 would never get tired of caressing
 them and of licking their fur, which she did from head to foot. Last week an addition was made to my buffalo range. It consists of a good-sized barn-yard, with running water. and gives the calves access to part of the barn where they will be able to get meal of hay at any time after the first heavy snow fall. The other day I took the team out
