The distance from Ehrenberg to Fort

By the shortest trail that the Indian
could take it was at least seventy-6ve
miles, and he had to swim the river
once each way. The Indian was to
get SO for the trip and so addition

He prepared quickly for the undertak.
ing and disappeared down the trail.
Within twenty-four hours he was
back In Ehrenberg. bringing with him
the packages of medicine for which he
had been sent. Each package bore the
labels of the Yuma dispensary. There
was no living being along the trail be-
tween the two places from whom he
could have obtained any assistance
whatever That Indian ran $50 miles
IN less than twentyfour hours over a
barren, stony desert, interspersed with
deep, dry gulches and ravines. in and
out OF which he was forced to climb,
and in addition he swan the Colorado
river twice.
When he got his 500 he bought some
of his favorite food. crawled into the
shelter of some mesquite trees, ate and
slept alternately for two days and
then reappeared in perfect condition

SlLAGE A GOOD FEED
FOR EWES AND LAMBS

Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
The use of corn silage as a feed for
sheep has attracted the attention of
most farmers only during the past few
years. Although a few sheepmen fed
silage many years ago with good re
suits, most hockmastcrs have been
slow in giving it a trial.
Owing to the wonderful increase in
the use of silOs on farms and owing
to the cheapness of silage as compared
with other sucCulent feeds, such as
roots, farmers are constantly raising
the question regarding the feeding of
silage to sheep. \ great deal has been
said of its bad effects upon sheep, but
these have arisen either because an
inferior quality of silage was fed or
on account of carelessness on the part
of the feeder in not feeding it properly.
A good quality of silage is extremely
palatable and can be fed TO all classes
of sheep with good results. 1t must
be borne in mind. however. that silage
which is either very sour, moldy or
frozen should not be fed.
The amount of silage reported in
feeding trials varies from one to five
pounds per head per day. The amount
to feed depends upon the class Of
sheep and the character of the other
feeds comprising the ration. AS Il gen
eral rule from two to four pounds per
head per day is considered as much as
should be fed.
Lamb feeders have found silage a
very satisfactory feed, and the amount

A TRAGIC EXPERIMENT.
How a Husband Tried to Cure His
Wife's Fear of Pythons


Concerning pythons, the following Is
a true story; a young lady in England
for a long time resisted her lovers
entreaties to go out to India with him
as his wife. She had a horror of the
wild animals she believed she might
encounter there, especially serpents.
At length, however, after he had issued
a sort of ultimatum. she consented to
accompany him. She did not, how
ever, leave her fears behind her and
lived in constant terror of some day
meeting what she so intensely feared.
Her husband did his best to laugh her
fears away. but without avail Then
he resolved to try more drastic means.
A huge python was killed in the
neighborhood of his bungalow. With
out telling his wife anything about 1t
he ordered the reptile to be brought
into the drawing room and cooled up
as If asleep on the hearth rug. Then
he went out and called his wife, telling
her to go into the drawing room and
that he would join her in a few min
utes Soon after he heard a dreadful
scream. That will cure her of her
fear Of serpents," he smiled to him
self and purposely delayed his entry
When at last he went into the drawing
room he saw his wife lying dead on
the floor, and coiled around her was
another huge python, the mate to the
one that lay dead on the hearth rug
