IN MONTANA BLIZZARD.
Travelling Salesman Relates His
Stage Coaching Experience
in the Winter.

Ike Boyer, of Helena. left the other
morning for Madison county points. and
while waiting in Butte the night before
told some interesting tales of his -x-
perience while making the territoT3 in
southern Montana which is not yet .:ov-
cred by the railroad, says the Ana< ,nda
Standard.
THE time of my 'ife.' he said was
experienced between Bannack and Ar
genta. l was making the trip by stage
and my driver was one of the old-time
stage drivers of the overland road. The
only name I ever knew for him was
Shorty and he was one of the best that
ever pulled the ribbons over tenn OF
horses in Montana.
Shortly after we left Argerta it be-
gan showing. but we paid little atten-
ton to the storm, being wrapped up COM
fortably. When we topped the hill and
started across the foothills to connect
with the old Bannack road we ran into
the teeth of the blizzard The ther-
mometer began dropping rapidly and al
most before we knew it we found our
eslves chilling fast. To add to our
trouble the air became so filed with
snow that we could not see the length
CT our sled ahead of us. The storm
came so fast and fierce that the horses
refused to face it, and before we realized
it we were off the road and the horses
were helplessly houndering through the
snow, which seemed almost bottomless.
BY this time darkness had come and we
were off the trail.
ITO make the matter worse the horses
in floundering broke the tongue from the
sled and we were hOled up for good.
Then We saw that we were in for it for
the night and prepared to make the best
Of bad bargain. There was a little
straw in the bottom of the sled and we
tied the horses up so that they could
eat this. The driver and myself walked
back and forth. about a rod apart, all
night long and in this manner managed
to'keep warm. We drank up all the SAM
pies Ts~had' with me, smoked several
boxes of sample cigars, and it seemed
as if the night would never come to an
end.
occasionally would get uncommon
~ tired and sleepy and would attempt
to doze off. but Shorty would stand for
nothing of the sort. He Would rouse me
by drastic means, if necessary, and make
me continue my walk to and fro opposite
him. Finally. after the lapse of at least
a century, the night came to an end and
daylight began showing around the
gulch. With the approach of day the
storm went down and the air cleared.
Shorty Immediately began rustling and
before long found pole that could be
used as sled tongue and We toggled up
matters and continued our trip to Ban

late breakfast and were not surprised to
learn that the thermometer had regis

the grass is blue grass, get good
deal OF that element that is called
protein, and SO the hogs do not come
up very hard on the coin ration. I
have two reasons for not wanting to
feed corn to the young hcgs; one is
that they are growing, and corn does
not supply a very large portion If the
matchmaking elements they need at
this time, ana the other is the high
price of corn, which makes it u very
expensive food. In fact I figure out
that I lose on every pound CT corn

FEED NOTES.
Utilizing the Scraps and Refuse Il ON
the Table in Feeding the
Hens.

us literally in eggs for our trouble. Il

er. Our way is making the most OF
the feeds we have on hand, produced
on the farm. Wheat, oats and corr
are grown on the place and the hens
get their share of each. No food va
produce is too good or too expensive

save the fine meal for soft feed and
the cracked grains that won't go
through the sieve we throw in litter
for the hens.
Every year we plant pumpkins with
the corn and raise them for feed. The
hens like them, and We find they are
good for them, as we'll as for the other
stock. The seeds are the most valuable
part of the pumpkin, it is claimed, and
the hens like the seeds best, but will
eat every bit of the pumpkin except
the rind. I notice when the hogs are
fed pumpkins there are always num-

then mixed with their mash. The
butchering offal, cracklings, etc., is all
saved for the hens. The cracklings
are worth more as hen food than they
are for soap grease. We have lately
learned that hens like buttermilk bet
ter than skim-milk. They won't
drink skim-milk if they can get but
termilk. Now we save every bit Of
the latter in large jar for the hens
and the pigs get the skinned milk.
There are so many feeds on the aver
age farm that would go towards MAX
ing a perfectly balanced ration for
the hens, if the farmer would only
make use of them. says the Ohio
Farmer. The result we find, of
giving the hens variety in their
bill-of-fare is a larger egg. yield. or
course, it won't do to push the egg

HOW ONE MAN DID.
After a Series Of Failures he Makes
q Succe of Winter Culture of
Vegetables.

A thrifty German friend of the
writer, who had the usual large fam
lily, was not content to rest and leaf
during the winter months. He was
burdened with a heavy mortgage
which went on 365 days a year, and
piled up interest against the labor of
the summer. He declared that he
would do something to offset the mort
gage fiend.
Visiting a large market during. the
winter season he saw how readily fresh
vegetables found sale at handsome
prices. Inquiry revealed the fact that
these vegetables were grown in hot
houses near the town, and that a
handsome profit was made.
Two hundred dollars was spent in
the house and equipment and when
winter blasts came the fire was start
edand lettuce sown. The plants came up
quickly and started fine growth
When about half ready for the mar
ket bit of carelessness caused the
house to become overheated, and two
thirds of the crop was lost. Nothing
daunted, the dead plants were rooted
out and another crop sown. This was
attacked by lice, and almost destroyed
before our friend knew what was the
matter. Fumigation was resorted to,
but the crop had been practically
killed. Thus far the results had been
disastrous. Our friend was working
in the dark, so to speak. He was
learning by experience, but it was
costly.
Ha determined to visit greenhouses
OF successful gardeners and learn the
secrets of their success. In one week
he iearned the simple rules regarding
soia, moisture, heat, ventilation and
furligation. He returned home and
made another effort. This time the
crop was raised, not, however, with
our troubles, but it was placed on the
market and netted SIS. The next year
the subject of greenhouse gardening
was studied in greater detail, and sew
eral changes made. The house was
started early in October, and kept go
ing until the first Of April. The sea-
son Melted him about $500, or almost
as much as he made on his farm dur
ing the summer SINCE the first ex-
pertinent, says the Ohio Farmer, two
larger houses have been built, and
the business has increased until it
nets about $1,000 a year. The people
are anxious for the products, and are
willing to pay big prices for them.
