LIVED ON GRASS AND ROOTS
Man Is Rescued After Eight Days in
the Woods-Hs Brother Is
Probably Dead.

Santa Barbara, Cal.-Wandering in
the last stages of exhaustion on the
edge of the Sisquoo ranch in the Santa
Barbara mountains, Genaro Fernandez
was found by vaqueros. Eight days be-
fore he and his brother Daniel started
from Maricopa without blankets on
foot to cross the range.
Daniel Fernandez could not keep up
under the diet of acorns, grass and
herbs which they had to resort to
when they got lost, and probably is
dead. Realizing both of them must
perish if they stayed together, Dan
iel persuaded his brother to go ahead
in search of help. A searching party
has gone out from Santa Maria in
an effort to find the missing man. The
parents of the two live at No. 144
South Glass street, Los Angeles.
Going to Bakersfield for railroad
work, they decided to so to Santa
Barbara. Genaro said they were in
formed there was a good trail across
the mountains with numerous ranch
houses. At the top of the ridge they
were caught in a snowstorm which
lasted two days. Their food consisted
of grass, herbs and acorns from wood
pecker holes in the trees.

Doduino the Issue.

William J. Price, minister to Pan
anna, smiled recently when reference
was made to the way that some people
have of lodging the issue. He said he
was reminded of Jones.
When Jones returned 10 his happy
little home in the suburbs at hash
time a few evenings ago he was met
at the door by mother, who was wear
ing a stern expression that seemed
to portend domestic argument.

merrily responded father, inwardly do
ing a bit of guessing. "Trot out the

Just look at those empty bottles,
returned mother, pointing to quite a
large heap of pints and half pints on
the floor. How do you suppose they
ever got in our cellar?"

CroWI of the Bear.

Russia desires peace, but is ready
for war; declares the ST. Petersburg
Bourse Gazette, in a semi-oficial arti-
Gle responding to the attacks on Rus
STA appearing in the German press.
The cars name is mentioned more
than once, and the fact that the
Bourse Gazette is Liberal organ adds
additional Importance to the article,
which goes on to say: I'VE are in
formed from an unquestionable source
that Russia, whose military power is
being augmented by the will Of the
sovereign, does not think Of war, but
is prepared for all eventualities. Be
ing ready, she does not need to be ex-
cited by recent alarms. 1t is known
abroad that the idea that Russia in
the event of war would maintain
purely defensive strategy is now aban-
doned, and that henceforward Russia
will assume the offensive"

it is needed. OF course, there is usu-
ally very little trouble after the grass
comes.
Plenty of clover hay or alfalfa along
with a little mixed bran and oats will
keep the lambs growing. That Is a
point to be considered. | am certain
that lamb that once gets a real check
in his growth never grows out just
as he should. Of course the eve must
be kept in as good general condition
as possible. Before grass comes there
is usually some trouble from constipa-
ton among the ewes. Bran feeding
will relieve this condition and keep
the eve from letting up in her milk
production.
The eve is inclined to be little fe-
verish after lambing and about all she
needs for the first day is little hay
and plenty of water. For the first
week or ten days she should be
watched for any indications that the
udder is caking and given quick atten-
ton when trouble is found.
Within a couple of weeks after they
are dropped, healthy lambs will begin
to try to eat. They will nibble around
the trough when their mothers are fed
and they should be taught to eat at
that time if you wish to crowd them
along and get them ready for the fall
markets.
The best plan is to fence off little
feeding place for them where they will
not be bothered by the older animals.
One corner of the lot can be set apart
for them Fix the fence so the open
ings will be large enough to admit
the lambs and shut the old sheep out.
Feed them cracked corn or at least see
that it is shelled, as they will not be
able to get the grains off the cob.
Where oats, bran, wheat, barley or
any combinations of these grains are
fed, the ration will need no special
preparation.

MEXICAN FEEDING
METHODS ARE GOOD
Successful Turkey RaiSerS Cook
Everything Fed Turkeys
Must Have Free Range.
CBv c. M. SCHULTZ.)

Mexicans, who are successful tur-
key raisers, cook everything they feed
young turkeys. They boil meat, beans,
corn bread, onion tops, and most any
thing they can get hold of, and al
ways include red pepper. Most north
ern breeders would consider red pep
per, or even green peppers, too slim
ulating, but the MeXicans, to our
knowledge, use it literally, with excel
lent success.
Young poults are fond of fresh
curds, and thrive on it. They must
be kept perfectly dry, as they are sub
ject to roup.
AS soon the the poults come off the
nest they should be thoroughly exam
ined for lice. The best remedy is
lard and pulverized sulphur in a pro-
portion of about one-fourth sulphur to
three-fourths lard. This must be used
sparingly, by rubbing little of the
mixture on the top of the head, among
the pin feathers of the wings and
around the tail, and also along the in
side Of the wings and about the
thighs.
If the poults do not seem to thrive
well in a week or two, they should be
again examined because more young
turkeys die from lice, perhaps, than
any other trouble. busting with in
sect powder also works well, provided

have fish aboard"
This was the answer returned by
the captain of fishing steamer to the
signal of distress from pilot boat on
the rocks at the entrance of the Gold
en- Gate few days ago. No one will
deny that it was a heartless answer,
but it is an answer that is being con-
stantly given in all relations of life,
says the Portland (Ore.) Journal. All
around pilot boats are on the rocks
or suffering pain, but the fishing boat
sails by unheeding because it has fish
aboard and has not time to stop and
throw out towline. How many fish
ing boats there are that refuse word
of kindness and counsel, friendly
hand, smile of encouragement! How
many fishing boats there are that are
blind, deaf or Indifferent to the hopes,
aspirations and struggles Of those who
are on the rocks!
I'VE can't stop. We have fish on
board"

RAIL FENCE GOING DON'T ALWAYS TELL
Smell Cannot Be Relied Upon at
AL! Times.
Clerk Used TO Waiting on Wealthy
Politicians Fooled BY Different
Odor--What the Man i'm Cor
duroys Finally Purchased.

This story happened in Harrisburg,
Pa, but it's moral in the selling of
underwear may be found universally
applicable.
In Harrisburg, then, there is GER
tain haberdashery establishment not
a thousand miles away from the CAPT
toll buildings. Whether this said gen
tlemen's furnishings emporium was
designed for the needs of those pluto
cratic ones who bought and sold
tables by the cubic mahogany foot or
not the story does not say. But it is
known, at least, that the establish
ment kept rather nifty line of goods.
One day to this shiny little palace
came a person in corduroys. They
were not fashionable corduroys, worn
with suede gloves, velour hat and
windsor tie. No. These corduroys
were much crumpled and stained.
bagged badly at the knees, and
worst of all!-had an unmistakable
odor of the stable upon them.
They we're obviously far out of their
orbit in thus thrusting themselves into
the senatorial haberdashery. But in
they went, mirrors and all.
The non-committal youngish man
who sported them asked supercilious
salesman to see underclothes. The
salesman, smiling that odor of the
stable, threw down one box on the
counter, the box containing a heavy
WOODEN garment.
"One dollar" declared the salesman.
The corduroy person examined the
garment, looked up and said:
Haven't you something little better
than this?"
Our senatorial salesman flushed at
the plebian slur on his stock. Ger
tainly,' he sneered, and tumbled down
second box. "One-ffty."
Corduroys carefully examined the
one-fifty garment also, but again
looked up. This the best you got?'
he inquired. a.
The salesman swore a great oath
under his romantic mustache. I'll
fix you, you mucker." he murmured.
Down came a swagger box, OF came
the lid and there reposed beautiful
pale blue silk confection. Fifteen
dollars a garment" explained the
suave autocrat accustomed to deal
with contractors. Thirty dollars
suit"
The stable-smelling one looked as
before, paused and said, thoughtfully
"I'll take two suits, please. Send them
down to the circus grounds, can you?
He got out his pocketbook, stripped
loose three $40 bills and mentioned a
pame. The name was probably the
most famous one in circus annals OF
this day.
Now our salesman is very kindly to
the occasional misguided farmers who
drift into the glittering shop and saves
| his haughtiness for mere state sena-
! tors and SO on.

So much depends upon the start the
lamb gets in his first two or three
weeks that we are justified in spend
ing as much time as we can possibly
spare in looking after the flock during
Landing time If the weather is cold
and raw, the mortality among the
lambs is going to be much greater than
1t will be if the weather is mild
through April.
The April lamb has a much better
chance to do well than the lamb that
is dropped earlier in the season. How
ever if they come on a chilly, damp
day, it will pay the owner to be near
to see that the youngster gets his first
drink Of milk as soon as possible. That
will keep the new lamb from chilling,
and when he is once chilled, he is
sometimes pretty hard to get back on
his feet.
Where the lamb really gets a chill
ling, the best remedy is bucket or a
tub filled with water. well warmed,
writes Louis G. Hall of Kansas in the
Farm Progress. Place the lamb in
this for few minutes, take him out,
rub him dry and bundle him up I'M
der a stove or near warm fire till
he is warmed all the way through.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
milk flow of the eve be kept up after
the lambs arrival. Where you have a
few roots to feed before the grass
comes, these will work wonders in
stimulating the milk Roots and lit
tie grain will insure plenty of milk,
and | know of no grain that can equal
oats in eve feeding
When there is some doubt as to
whether the eve is giving the lamb
enough, always fall back on bran as a
part of the ration. Bran will stimulate
the milk flow in the eve just as sue
cessfully as it does for the dairy COW,
and it should be kept up as long as

Ancient Custom kn,s IN.

To determine the letting Of piece
of meadow land, a quaint dovice was
resorted to at Butterwich, near Bos-

and a pin stuck in it's side. Then bid
ding commenced The candle burned
until the flame reached the pin, which
fell out, and the land was declared let
to the last bidder prior to the pin fall
ing. There are people still living who
remember when the sandglass was
used at auctions in Lincolnshire, and
the candle and pin is a revival OF ap
ancient custom.
