NARROWED IN A BLIZZARD.
Travelling Salesman Tells OF nm
Awful Night by Stage.

Travelling Salesman Tells OF nm
Awful Night by Stage.
Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday
morning for Madison County points and
while waiting in Butte the night be-
fore told some interesting tales of his
experience while making the territory
in Southern Montana which is not yet
covered by the railroad.
"The time of my life," he said, "was
experienced between Bannack and Ar
genta. was making the trip by stage
and my driver was one of the old-time
stage drivers of the overland road. The
only narie / ever knew fol- him was
Shorty and he was one Oh the best
that ever pulled the ribbons over a
team of horses In Montana.
shortly after we left Argenta 1t be-
gan showing. but we paid little atten-
ton to the storm, being wrapped up
comfortably. 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 thermometer began dropping rap
idly and almost before we knew it we
found ourselves chilling fast To add
| to our trouble, the air became SO filed
with snow that we could not see the
length of our sled ahead of us. The
storm came so fast. and fierce that the
horses refused TO face it, and before we
realized Ii we were off the road and the
horses were helplessly fioundering
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 fioundering 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 a bad bargain.
There was 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 rod apart, ali night long and
in this manner managed to keep warm.
We smoked several boxes Of sample CT
CARS and it seemed as IL 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, tie 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 be-
gan rustling and before long found q
pole that could be used as sled
tongue, and we toggled up matters and
continued our trip to Bannack. We ar
rived there in time for a late break
| fast and were not surprised to learn
| that the thermometer had registered is
below throughout the nigl,t"-Anacon-

AT P0MPEn.

At Pompeii heard a laugh,
And turned to find the of her mirth,
Saw but the silent figure girl
That centuries had mummed into earth
The running figure of little maid
With face half hidden in her shielding arm,
Silent, yet screaming, in ev'ry limb
The cruel torture of her dread alarm.
At Pompeii heard maiden shrek
All down the years from out the distant past
Blind in the awful darkness still she runs,
Death in the mold of fear her form has cast
little maid once soft and sweet and white,
Full of the mornings hope. and love, and joy,
That Nature moving TO the voice of Time,
Shook her dark wings TO wither and destroy.

Alfalfa Valuable Feeding Plant.

Alfalfa Valuable Feeding Plant.
Probably the best summing up Of the
value of alfalfa to American farmers Is
in the bulletin on the subject issued by
the Experiment Station OF Wisconsin,
which follows: Alfalfa has practically
the same feeding constituents, pound
for pound, as good bran, and should be
regarded as an eqsal to bran when
used as feed for stock. Alfalfa yields
three times as much protein per acre
as clover and nine times as much pro-
tein as timothy" Taking the two state
ments together, they are of special sig
nificance to dairymen, whose greatest
need is the supplying of protein in the
food TO the cows at the smallest cost
possible. Leaving aside the fact that
the crop when once established can be
gathered several times during a single
season, and that it will retain its cut
ting value for years, the protein value
of il is enough TO make any dairyman
take notice and to warrant him in max
ing greater efforts than he ever before
made In growing feeding crop, to
grow alfalfa. 1t is not denied that in
some localities and on some soils it
seems almost impossible to get stand
of alfalfa, but unless conditions are
wholly unsuited to the crop it will pay
to try and try again until success
comes, for, all things considered, it is
by far the most valuable of all feeding
crops Of a forage nature grown or
growable on American farms

Prof. J. ii. skinner, of the Purdue
University Experiment Station, says
that with good clover pasture swine
growing was much more economical;
than by feeding alone. Experiments
in feeding at the Indiana station show
the cost per 100 pounds of grain with
corn meal only was $5.01: with one
half corn meal and one-half middlings
S3.44; with two-thirds corn meal and
one-third soy beans, $3.50; and five
sixths corn meal and one-third tank

commended to improve the ration, bet

port says: Owing to the rapidly in

costs more, and in consequence cul-

generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf Hence
