HAS HAD ENOUGH OF WATER.
Pony's Experience Taught Prospector
in Yellowstone Park to Avoid
the Fluid.

Il had 2 little experience with AMI
other whose attire did not speak q
the travelling man, but rather Of The
native Montanan-
1 used to be in the Yellowstone Ma
tional park before there was ever 4.
road there or forest guard or sol
der. In fact, l helped pick out the
routes by which the tenderfeet OF tn
present day see the wonders of nature
and occasionally the wonderful nerve
OF the highwayman. Naturally the old
trails led along a different course fro
the present roads, for we used to take
the shortest way across and where -
could not ride we would walk and leo6
our ponies.
One day l was riding between tn
upper and the lower geyser basin and
my pony and came to a creek which
looked as II it would be pleasant t.
taste. l stopped the nag to taste the
water, but the pony beat me to it. He
had his muzzle buried up to his eyea
IN an instant and in less than half that
time he had it back out with a roas
OF pain that could be heard a mile
away The water was boiling hot, but
the heat of the ground near the earth
Kept the steam from rising. The pony
Jerked away from me and went buck
ing and bawling through the trees,
carrying my blankets and grub with
him.

and caught him again. Then all Of the

with bacon fat and made the nag az
comfortable as possible. 1t was necea-
sary that | should ride him, for / had
an appointment on the banks of yell

party, and | turned his nose gently in
that direction
Next day we came to a stream
which came directly out of a snow
bank and the pony, depending upon
that sign of GOODNESS, put his head
down and took another drink The re-
suit was that his mouth and nostrfls
shrunk up so that he could no longer

Sugar as Finishing Feed.-A herd
OF Is Black Angus cattle which was
awarded first prize at the Chicago In
ternational Stock show, and which was
sold at ST per hundred pounds live
weight, was fattened on a ration which
included molasses. Besides pasture
feed, corn and oats, the owner fed
during the last month mixture of oil
meal and oats. to which was added a
sprinkling of molasses. 1t was found
that the mo'asses added a glossiness
to the hides and improved the appear
ance of the animals in every way.

To have the chickens mature rapid
ly a proper type of breeding fowl
should be obtained. This type consists
of fowls of medium size and broad and
blocky in shape, like the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandottes. The chickens
should be frequently fed, and a suffi
cient quantity of food given each time
to satisfy them.

OF their attractive appearance will
bring, as rule, an appreciably high
err price than another lot done in a
slovenly manner; this may frequently
be seen in the case of clipped hoggs.
There is also no loss of wool in the
former case; in the latter, too much
is frequently left on the ridges. and
this, of course, reduces the weight OF
fleece
The use of clipping machines in
stead of hand-shea-s has made, as
yet, little Roadway in the north: but
more attention is being given to the
idea year by year. On some of the
larger farms, one or perhaps two
hand-driven machines are to be found:
none is power driven. If machines
come into general use it will be be-
cause of the difficulty OF finding casual
clippers rather than for reasons OF
economy. The farmers do not antici
pate any great saving of expense by
the use of machines; they say that
one man with machine driven by a
lad or woman worker will not get
through more than the number which
two good men could clip-that is to
say. about sixty per day. When the
womans wage is added to the cost
of cleaning, oiling, repairing and de
probation of the machine and is set
against the out-of-pocket expenses in.
CURED under existing circumstances
by big farmer. there can be little
saving by the new method. For it is
to be remembered, as stated previous
ly, that most OF the clipping is al
ready done by permanent servants.

school here this mora'4g by all un-
known man furnishing a m3>te.y
which the detectives of the country
are being asked to solve. Accompany
ing the demand for ransons IS cov-
ert threat that the boy viii - killed
unlesi the money Ii produced.
Hundreds of telegrams and tels7
phone messages haev been sent to the
police of various cities asking their
assistance in the search for the boy
and his abductors. The first fruit Of
these came tonight when Chief of Po-
lice Grain, of this city, received word
that rig. in which the lad had been
taken away, had been recovered at
Warren, O., with the child's hat on
the seat of THE buggy.
At $50 O'Clock this morning a
stranger drove up to the east ward
school house, where young Whitla is
pupil in Room No. 2, and told the
ianitor, Wesley Sloss, the lad was
wanted at once at his fathers office.
Sloss conveyed the message to Mrs.
Anna Lewis, tAe boys teacher, who
dismissed the child. AS she was help
ing him put On his overcoat, she re-
marked, half jokingly, Il hope that

man in the buggy had dar k COM
plexion, dark hair and a stubby mus
tache. He was stockily built. He
spoke excellent English and was evi-
IDENTITY American-born.
When Sloss appeared with the boz,
the stranger smiled and helped hlm
up to the seat beside him. He then
drove off in the direction of Mr.
WhitIa's office. Several persons to-
night say confederate joined the
kdnapper before he had left town.
Little Was thought of the incident,
al there Was no belief that a crime
had been committed until the lad
failed to appear for his noon day
meal. Becoming worried, Mrs. Whltla
began a search, and at the school she
learned of what had occurred there
three hours before.
At l o'clock a letter directed to the
mother, was delivered to the house by
a mail carrier. Mrs. Whitla at once
recognized the handwriting ON the
envelope as that of her son. Opening
it she found the following communi-
cation written in a strange hand.
