Navajo Scout Brings Word Into Camp
of Posse That Old Chief Shot

Blum, Utah.-Indicative of the spir-
II which prevails in the camp of
the renegade Piute Indians was the
story which was brought here Friday
by a Navajo scout who had again Wis
tied the outlaws in an effort to secure
the surrender OF the band.
Old Posey, one of the chiefs Of the
Piute band, shot and killed Old Scot
ty because the latter wished to give
up the fight with the whites and make
peace. Scotty was a full brother OF
Posey. According to old settlers here
the two Indians were opposite in
every way. Posey has always been
sullen and refused to bow To- the laws
of the federal government. Scotty. on
the other hand. was pleasant, Sc
those say who know him. and was
among the last of the Piutes to join
with the outlaws. But few details OF
the killing have reached here, but the
Indian scout is believed TO be reliable
Before further attempts are made
to arrest Old Polk and Hatch and his
Piute followers on the warpath. every

TESTING SHOWS UP LOAFERS
man Will Keep a Cow on Which
He Does Not Make a Profit.

OBy G. r. INGALLS,. Wisconsin Expert

Cow testing shows the money max

returning a profit of 500 or more
every year. 1t is possible to have every
cow kept do as well.
The loafers, the COWS that consume
more than they return, are quickly
spotted and eliminated when the COW
test is used. No successful merchant
handles line of goods on which he
loses money; likewise, no progressive
dairyman will milk a COW on which he
does not make profit. The milking
of COWS is a straight business PROPOSE

his own time or pay high priced labor
to milk COWS which do not pay for

To build up a profitable herd the
COW test is Indispensable 1t enables
the dairyman to quickly get high

sending mature bulls to the block,

our dairy industry and should be

CORRECT TIME FOR FEEDING
Feeds in Morning and Night
Mix Salt With Grain.

Many feeders seem to think that
the oftener they can coax the COWS
TO eat the better. but | believe that
better results may be obtained by
feeding full feeds in the morning and
at night and a light feed of hay about
noon. says a writer in an exchange
We feed silage, grain and hay in the
morning. as soon as the milking is
completed. a light feed of hay at noon
20 induce the COWS to walk directly to
their places when they come in from
the yard. and repeat the morning feed
at night, Immediately after milking
We have found il better not to feed
the cows before milking time. and
more especially when silage is being
fed. as it is likely to impart a bad
odor TO the milk.
The amount of salt 10 feed depends
upon conditions. We feed more salt
than many dairymen. for the reason
that when feeding corn silagr we have
difficulty in getting the cows 20 drink
sufficient water, unless they have
plenty of salt.
II may be one Of the writer's no
tions. but there seems to ~ some
thing about the slightly acid condition
of the silage that satisfies the COWS
thirst. and for that reason We mix salt
with the grain feed. One ounce day
is fed to each COW in her grain ration.
and once a week we give them some
, in their managers.
We have water basins b. the side
4 Of the cows. but the animals are
turned out every day in the year
while the stables are being cleaned
and aired out Our yards are well
sheltered, and we seldom leave them
out more than three-quarters of an
hour They are turned out in groups
OF ten OF twelve and made to stay
| out until We are ready for them TO
come to their places. On very cold
days they are not kept ogt long
enough TO get chilled.
