Biackfeet owned everything from the
Rocky Mountains to Hudson Bay
there came famine SO there was no
green spot save around Medicine Lake.
1t was then that the wise men of the
tribe built two medicine lodges at
the lakes now called Two Medicine
and after prayer and fasting they had
a vision. This directed that they send
seven OF their old men TO the great
Chief Mountain where the Wind God
made and unmade the rain. So the
patriarchs went but as they failed 10

yell-to-do American farmer He is
fifty-fve years of age, although he
looks much older. He is a Mexican of
Spanish descent and was born on
ranch in the State of Coahuila. His
father was both farmer and an army
officer and was on duty when the exc
cutton of the Emperor Macmillan
took plnce.
In moderate circumstances. Carranza
received his earlier education at an
inferior school not far from the ranch.
But he learned much from his father
of the wrongs Of the Mexican poems
and Of fighting. Then he decided to
read law and for time studied at
CoahuiIa and later in Mexico City. He
was sorely afflicted by near-sighted-
ness and the physicians feared that he
might lose his sight entirely II he
continued to study, so Carranxa went
back to the ranch.
Several times he tried TO be elected
to office tn his native State, but the
Diaz candidate always won because
the willy old President had soldiers
guarding the polls and ballot box
stufring was done in the open. Diaz
feared Carranza hold on the people
and he tried In every way 10 get rid
of him. AT one time he even threaten ed
him with death. but knowing that this
would certainly cause an uprising he
never nut the threat into execution.
Just about this time young Francisco
Madero became interested IN Mexican
affairs. He WAS wealthy In his own
right and he liked Carranza. and al
their age and station the two became
inseparahle and Madero spent hts time
listening to Carranza'E stories Of the I'll
treatment Of the Mexican peon. Then
Madero financed Carranxa's campaign
for the Governor of Coahuila, but the

OF course this park has become a
safe home for wild animals, and long
before the white man knew OF its
grandeur the Blackfeet had assumed
the names OF some of these animals as
a sort of family cognomen. The name
of Wolf is a great favorite because the
wolf is an animal always on the alert.

 That fence must have cost the city a lot of money, and 1t was a valuable asset even when 1t was removed. to say nothing about its value for historical association. So what do you suppose the city got for 1t? The city never got cent for 1t, not even the price of old iron. and there were tons and tons of 1t.

 Any one doubting the value of artificial light in the brooder house during the sea- son when the days are short and nights correspondingly long can easily test the matter and draw his own conclusions from the results secured. The plan has little or no value for use in spring and early summer, when natural conditions are more in favor of the hungry, growing youngsters iva
 After Weaning Age After the chicks are old and large enough to do without artificial warmth they should be divided into uniform flocks containing from 25 to 50 individuals At this time part of them may be trans ferred to colony houses and the balance permitted to remain in the brooder house, if Ne latter Is not required for later hatclcs.
