ranch the following incident
took place. We were moving a
thousand longhorns across Mon
tana into Canada. Feed was scarce
down in the Marisa country, so
most of the big cattle companies
were moving their cattle. Help
was scarce, and Tom, the foreman,
had to take what men he could
find. We had four old timers and
eight tenderfeet. The latter Ger.
tainly lived up to the name, for a
timider bunch of short horns I
never before clapped eyes on.
We heard that band of Piegans
and Crees were about to go on the
warpath, and the tenderfoot lads
were almost scarf to death. We
had to cross the Piegan reserve,
and this made the Indians still mad.
der, We had arrived at Coon
Coulee, whose banks were perpen-
dicular, and worked ourselves half
to death trying to start the cattle
across. The tenderfeet just sat
around on their horses watching
for Indians.
"By George said Tommy that
night, Il am getting tired of this.
Let's scare them chumps out. I
would rather make the drive alone
than have them around"
"Good," said L; ''the tall grass
for them. But how are we going
to do it?"
Il will show you," said Tommy.
He called the old timers up and we
held powwow. l left camp about
an hour afterwards for town to get
some tobacco, at least that's what
the tenderfeet boys thought. But
didn't go to town. [ stopped
half mile from camp, dismounted,
caught six pack horses, tied them
together, mounted my own cayuse,
and then started back for camp,
whooping and shooting al every
jump.
While I had been gone the old
timers had been telling stories, and
the stories they told did not make
the tepderfeet any drawer. As
soon as | started to give a poor
imitation Of bunch of Indians on
the warpath, they stampeded. I
saw cowpunchers going in every
direction, and shooting as they
went. There was more noise made
in five minutes than dozen steam
calliopes could make in an hour.
Well, after the dust had settled
some, Tom came to where US four
coyotes were laughing ourselves
to death. Great guns but he was
mad!
"You boys sure think your
smart, eh?" said he. Cub, you
little runt, you get 10 town and
head them fools IF, or they will
have the whole country upin arp's.
Don't you come back without them
or I will dock evxy one Of you
months wages for every day We
lose."
I rode into town and found every
door barricaded, and exciteS enz
was running high. / started up
the main street and. met the town
marshal. Hello said ne, "do
you belong to the Big = crew.
Sure" said |. Il ara looking

"You bet [ have; they came in
to town about two O'Clock this
morning, hatless, dust-begrimed,
and scarf to death, running up the
street yelling that the Piegans
were loose and that they had mas

Well, I told the marshal what
had hannaned. and he ran tham

A bad accident happened in
The MIRROR composing room last
Monday night. Several yards of
plaster dropped from the ceiling
and mixed things up rather badly.
Several cases of type we're directly
beneath when the plaster dropped,
and they were such a sight the
next morning that the printers
simply wept big tears. The &C.
cident was due to leak in the
roof, the water percolating it's way
thru the plaster and causing it to
become Jmushy. We hope it is
needless to say that the printers
are not saying prayers for the
chief engineer just at present.

On the front page of this issue
there is an article which deals
with Education in the Army"
This. article was written by one
who has had considerable expert

is reliable. No doubt the reader
will be somewhat surprised to
learn the extent in which educa-
ton is carried out in the army.
According to this instructive ar

MANURE SCIENCE.
How Different Feeds Influence Value
Of the Fertilizer.

The Maine station has recently is
sued a bulletin describing n feeding
experiment. One part OF the expert
ment. at least. is very interesting. It
deals with the influence feed has on
the fertilizing value OF manure. Figur-
ing the elements at what they would
cost on the market, IL was found that
ton OF hay contains $40 worth Of
plant food elements. IL Is not stated
what kind of hay was used, but the
supposition is that II was mixed hay
Spring wheat bran contains $1I.SO
worth; fall wheat bran, $3.50 worth;
and cotton seed meal. $3.50 worth OF
fertilizing elements TO the ton. In this
experiment no consideration was TAX
en- OF the value the manure would
possess as an improver of the humus
content OF the soil. which will be very
considerable indeed.
This shows the reader that II he
needs feeds for his cattle and at the
same time It is necessary TO pay some
attention 10 the fertility OF his soil, he
should purchase those feeds which are
most valuable as improvers OF the ma
nure voided by the stock. II was found
that hay was richer in potash than
any other element, containing more
potash than both nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid. Spring wheat bran had
nearly as much phosphoric acid as
both nitrogen and potash. Cotton seed
meal contained almost twice as much
nitrogen as both phosphoric acid and
potash. Hence. If the soil needs hu-
mus and perhaps potash, feed literally
of hay; II it needs phosphoric acid,
let bran enter largely into the ration;
If 1t needs nitrogen, a great deal Of
cotton seed meal should be fed.
