COWBOYS LASSO AND SLAY
PACK OF TIMBER WOLVES

/ Riding into the midst of a band OF
vicious gray timber wolves just in the
fullness of their strength and trail
ing the grazing cattle. is an exper-
ience that few would relish and an
experience that Is full of thrills
even for hardy and daring cowboys.
Joe Harvey Bert Carver and Paul
Craig three well known cowboys OF
the Uncompahgre and Unaweep coun-
try enjoyed such an experience a
few days ago at point only few
miles from the ranch of Bert Ennor
and not great many miles from
Whitewater.
For some time two packs of gray
wolves have been known to be in
that section. causing the cattlemen
; the slaughter of young calves by
timber wolves is always fearful in
its extent.
One day this week one party of
riders got very near a pack of the
wolves. but being without firearms
or ropes, they could not attack the
pack. The next day the three cow
boys mentioned above were riding
along when they heard tha call OF
the wolves and gave chase. They
rode right into tho midst of the
pack and fierce struggle ensued.
The brush was thick but the cow
boys were determined to make
cleaning" There were seven OF the
wolves in the pack. one an enor-
nous female. and the six others
were full grown, vigorous young
wolves.
Harvey roped one of the young
beasts. but he ran into a clump OF
willows. Harvey, undaunted and
reckless. crawled in to that Willow
clump after the struggling and
snarling animal. He got the wolf by
the hind legs, and. pulling him out,
held down his hind legs while he
cut his throat.
/ Carver and Craig roped wolf
each, Craig getting the old female.
Carver ended his captive with n
slash of his knife. while Craig shot
the. mother wolf. The other mem
bers of the pack made their escape
but the cowboys propose to run
them down.
1t Is reported that the cowboys
will he paid handsome bounties by
the Rifle Stock Growers associa-
.tion and the Mesa Stock Growers
association.

It is safest to put into narrow
stacks and it is also a good plan
! to mix with layers of dry straw, es
pecially If the alfalfa Is bound and
there Is any indication that the
straw is damp or green i'm the mid
die of the bundles. The straw i'm
proves the ventilation of the stack
and absorbs the excessive moisture.
The practice OF using straw in this
way. however, is seldom practicable
TO prevent loss Of seed in stacking
or threshing, racks are sometimes
covered with canvass and canvass is
also spread along under the machine
or along the stack in order to catch
the shattered bolls which break Off
Care must be taken to handle the
alfalfa i'm pitching and loading. The
large growers of alfalfa often stack
the seed crop in the field with the
sweep rake and hay stacker.
Those who practice this method
IN winrows, drying the alfalfa quick
ly and stacking as soon as possible.
This is a rough way to handle the
crop and occasions more or less loss
of the seed, but when large area
is handled it may be more profitable
to handle the crop in this way than
by slower methcd and run the
risk of damage frcm wet weather.
When the alfalfa is left in gavels
or bundles, as thrown off by the
binder it should be taken up with
barley fork. There will be less
SCATTERING of the seed. however. If
punches, not too heavy to be lifted
in one fork full and this is import
ant. When the alfalfa is stacked.
unless threshed within two or three
days after stacking, it should be al
lowed to pass through the sweat
before being threshed, which may
require several weeks.
The best plan is to cover the
stacks well to prevent damage by
rain, and thresh late in the fall
when the weather is dry and cool.
Farmers ulIIeI IN AntlT ODluioHS as
to whe.her it is preferable to do
the threshing with a common grain
huller or with a common grain sep
arator with huller attachment.
Some growers favor the use of the
latter machine because the work
can be done more rapidly. AS
rule. however. when farmers have
had a chance to use both kinds of
machines and have compared their
work. the huller Is preferred. AL
though 1t takes longer to thresh
with a good huller, yet with a good
crop enough more seed may be Sc
cured to amply pay for the extra time
and expense required. In fact, the
owner of huller will often pay a
little something for the privilege of
threshing over the straw stacks
left by the common thresher.

PUTTING UP ALFALFA FOR SEED

Care should be taken not to stack
or thresh alfalfa when the straw Is
too gren or tough and the seed mot
fully dry. 1t requires even more
tune to properly cure the seed crop
of alfalfa than 1t does to cure the
hay crop. The stems are largely
stripped OF leaves and cure slowly
and pack closely in the stack. If
packed green the alfalfa is sure to
heat and thus injure or destroy the
vitality of the seed. If threshed
green or damp. much seed will be
lost, since 1t will not hull prop
erly, and II damp seed is stored IN
bulk it may heat and spoil. To cure
the alfalfa fit to stack. from three
to seven days favorable weather are
reuired and n longer period If it
is threshed from the field. When
bound and shocked the crop should
have twenty days or 30 of drying
weather to cure before stacking and
threshing.

Try New-Life, J." the Most Won

Among the hundreds of disorders that
"Try- New-Life" has benefited and
cured there are none which have re-
sponded to this wonderful treatment
more readily than Nervous Disorders.
The marvellous mechanical vibration,
which is the secret of Try NeW-Life,"
and sends the blood coursing through
the veins, strengthening the entire
body and replenishing the starved nerve
centerS acts as a direct influence on
nervous disorders, and with a few
treatments soothes and eliminates the
cause of the trouble, thereby starting
the patient on the road to absolute re-
covery.
That nervous disorders are the direct
cause of large number of the more
serious diseases has been recognized by
the best medical authorities for years,
and to neglect such a condition is to
court death, or total disability at least.
TRY New Life" increases the vital
ity of the entire body, weak, tired, worn

You can prove 1t to yourself best by

The simplicity of Try New Life" en-
