FOOD VALUE OF CLOVER HAY.
IL Has Been Found to Be More Nutri-
tious Than Timothy and Nearly
Equals Alfalfa.

In the past horse feeders have not
understood the value of clover hay.
Glover should constitute one of the
main coarse roughages for horses. 1t
has been found to be more nutritious
than timothy and nearly equals alfalfa
in this respect. Feeders object to it.,
however, because of its tendency to
produce heaves and other respiratory
troubles when fed in dusty or other
wise unclean condition. These objec-
lions do not apply to clover which is
cut at the right time, properly cured,
and free from dust mold. Moldy
clover will often cause acute indiges-
ton and even death. Those who do
not care to feed straight clover will
find that a grade of light clover
mixed will give better results than
timothy, and there is no good reason
why 1t should not be used extensively.

HIGH FOOD VALUE OF HONEY
Single Pound of WelI-Ripened Produc.
Contains More Nutriment Than
Two Pounds of Pork.

A single pound of wellripened
honey contains more nutriment than
two pounds of pork, and more medi-
cine than any druggist would put up
for fifty cents, says tho Bee Journal.
Honey is also one Of the choicest
foods for man, and not the least valu-
able, as it is the only food that, hav-
ing undergone chemical change in the
body of the bee, can be taken directly
into the SYSTEM and used as a force
producer without having to pass
through the ordinary digestive proc
ess.
The apiary Is faat being recognized
as one of the sources of profit on
the farm, especially with the farmer
who desires to carry gu a system of
diversified farming The farmer, of
all people, is perhaps the least de-
pendent upon his fellow men, and on
every fair-siZed farm there annually
goes to waste several hundred pounds
of nectar, unless he has the means Of
gathering and storing fer the use
of himself and family. 1t is not neces.
sary that the farmer beekee2er be-
come a competition in the market
with the expert bee keeper, and i'll
most instances this would not be de-
sirable or profitable, but the farmer
should produce at least enough to sup
ply his own table, If not more.

INDIAN REVIEWS OLD QUEST
Washington Rancher VIII Again Start
on Search for Daughter He Lost
Over Six Years Ago.

Husum, Wash.-To again search for
the body of his lost child in the wilds
of the Cascade mountains, rs miles

Johnny Cayuse. an Indian rancher liy-

of the sudden disappearance of his
daughter, Katie, six years ago, while

1t was after one Of these festive oc-
casions in August that the daughter of
Johnny disappeared as If swallowed
by the earth. Parties searched for
weeks for the lost, but no trace OF
her could be found. The supposition
was that the girl had been killed by
some wild animal or had fallen into
one of the caves. Another Indian su.
perstition was that the girl was lured
by monster of the lake to it's watery

blacksnakes climb trees, and it is
possible that this one got in the tree,
and when the bees found it they turn
ed on the intruder. I have myself
seen bees turn on mice when they
intruded in the hives, and sting them
to death, and l have seen the remains
of small snakes in beehives. OF
course, the snake does not bite into
the comb, but sips the honey with its
tongue, and in that way cleans out
the cells"

not thoroughly dry, better leave it
over night
In order to be perfectly sure that
hay is well cured on our fathers
farm, we always put it up into good
sized cocks and allowed it to remain
about two days. This second hand
ling exposes all the damp hay to the
air and is swift in curing.
II you have hay-loader, count
yourself lucky; but if not, hitch two
horses to the end of a pole about
eight feet long, straddle one or two
cocks and drag them to the stack, if
the hay is to be left standing in the
field.
A device shown in the cut is a
homemade stacker recommended by
n Illinois farmer. He says this
stacker when equipped with fork
and an active horse, will handle all
the hay six wagons can bring in. The
rope is fastened at the top and bot
tom of a strong, slanted pole, and the
fork hangs over the center of the
stack. The wagon is placed alongside
the board slideway and the fork used
the same is in the barn.
If the hay is to be stored in the
barn, you will need a steady team
on the wagon. The hayrack ought to
be about sixteen feet long and ten
feet wide. If you are good loader,
boards at the end and sides will not
| be necessary.
When you arrive at the barn with
load, hitch a steady horse on the end
of the rope attached to the hay-fork,
set the harpoon as deeply as possible,
and the horse will draw up 800 pounds
in a twinkling

carrier to the point where it is to be

His Future Expenditures.

Among the most frequent requests
that so to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity or
CARNATIONS, hospitals and other phi
lanthropic undertakings. One day a
charity worker asked Senator Flint
Of California, who is not a wealthy
man, to give a large sum of money
for a free ward in one Of the hos
pitfalls.
Il am sorry that I cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but judging from the num-
Der Of similar demands that have been
made upon me in the past, l have de-
cided that / can promote a greater
charity. The vast amount of money
spent on hospitals in this town con-
vtnces me that thousands of people
are going to die and be buried with
out flowers. Hereafter, shall devote
my spare money exclusively to send
ing flowers to the dead."-The Sun,

snake had invaded the bees nest and
had devoured almost all the honey.
The bee hole was 40 feet from the
ground, and the men averred that
the snake, attracted by the honey,
had climbed the tree, had it's feast,
and when discovered by the bees they
set upon him to drive him away, and
literally covered the snake when
found.
Professor Surface was asked If it
were possible for a black snake to
climb tree to that height and if it
was ever known to eat honey.
Yes" said Professor Surface, Il

snake could climb a tree. Further
