caSlCnS WHcH lutlI lulSSldIcllchIo,
not to use a more emphatic term,
may mean the loss of human life, or
lead to great distress and suffering |
Especially is this the case where the
swell headed man attempts to give
information and direction regarding |
the location Of water and the proper
road to take in this desert region,
wnen, as a matter OF fact, he knows
nothing Of the country and is only
talking through his hat when he tells
the traveller where water holes
abound and where he can find a
good camping place at night.
Il see you are interested when II
speak of camping places, and I can
not blame you for this, for If there
is one thing you like next to close
association with sack of barley, it
is watering place In canyon
around which there is plenty of good
grass; and it is just such a place
that the traveller seeks when cross
ing the wind swept mountain ranges
and valleys of this southern coun-
try, and it is worse than criminal to
tell a man that he will find water
+, fifteen miles out of Vegas, when, as
matter of fact it is more than
forty.
IF you will remember" contin-
ued the prospector, cit is now hard
ly a month since we came across a
woman and her son in the desert
twenty miles out Of Vegas who were
nearly dead from thirst The wo-
man was going to Goldfeld to meet
her husband and was told by the
conceited liar at .egas that there
was plenty of water along the road
and that she could make the jour
ney with ease and comfort. The wo-
man and her son were on horseback
and thinking that water would be
plentiful along the road, they had
taken only two canteens of water
with them. Not far out the couple
came to a dry lake. They crossed
this, and as the weather was hot anG
the road dusty, they soon exhausted

but little of this, however as the.
expected to reach water within TIL
next five miles or so. So they wen
on during the day, but no water wa
, found. During the night they wan
dered about, lost the road, and whe1
we found them near our camp in tn
morning the woman was prostrat
on the sand; her tongue was pro
truding and awfully swollen, an
she was on the point of dissolution
Her son was about in the same con
o dition, but little care on my par
and the judicious use OF my waite
! bag, soon brought them out of dar
! ger, when the woman, trembling an
with tears in her eyes told me ho'
the Vegas rascal had misdirecte
them, sending them into the desel
e to almost certain death.

The Poultry Yard.
(June Farm Journal.)

The deadly louise is at work.
Do not expect the stock to thrive
without any green food
June is hot month; do not ne
elect the supply Of fresh water.
Look out for rats. Do not allow
them to have any hiding places near
the coops.
Cut down the quantity of heat
ing food in the rations, such as corn,
and feed plenty of green stuff.
If you give your hens plenty or
mixed feed, SO arrange that they
can sort it over, they will balance
their own ration.
Placing Slated, racks over the
water troughs is good way to keep
the festive ducks from wasting their
drinking water.
Put everything drinkable into
shallow vessels. Fix it so that the
chicks can drink and still not get
their feet into the water or milk.
Don't be afraid to give the chicks
oil the sour milk they will eat. Good
for them. If there is anything bet
ter l have not found it.
Are your chicks bothered with the
gaps? Well, spade up portion o.
4 the yards each morning and induce
the chickens to burrow in the fresh
" turned earth, rather than ALLOW
il them access to tho cotton wcoc

Spain Feels Need of Forests.

A suggestion by Spanish manufac-
turers that Spain plant forests for
pulpwood and follow Italys example
by planting quick growing species
has been reported to this government
by Consul-General Ridgely, of Bar
celona. Spain is waking to the ne
cessity of growing her own timber.
Nearly all civilized countries ARE
moving in that direction because it
is coming to be understood that
countries which do not grow their
own timber must go without it for
a few decades.
1T has been more customary to
cite Spain and China as examples of
the more distressing results which
follow forest destruction. Spain Is
as large as Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia,
and North Carolina, but its forests
have only three fourths of the ex-
tent of West Virginia alone, and
much of them are scrub thickets Of
very poor kind.
The country's population is be
ieved not to exceed one-third of
what it once was or what it might
be again. Much of the denuded land
is absolutely barren, with the red
rock laid bare where agriculture
once tiourished. Hills, whose round
ed forms indicate they once sup
ported forests are bald and dry now
and without inhabitants. In some
localities. peasants, with hammers
pulverize rocks and make little
patches Of soil for gardens.
At the present time SPANS mos
valuable forest product is cork. The
annual cut is 10000 tons, but the
cork forests are going, as other
forests went, and for the same rea-
son-%want of care. Enterprislnt
Spaniards are just now trying (
