The Aggies appeared all the way as if they were just about to break through Milli- gan's pitching, but fast fielding cholxed off rallies.

Cooking in a Hole

From outing.
 This summer while laboriously picking a sagehen a friendly forest ranger ap- preached smiling and offered to show me an easier way.
 He lifted bird as yet untouched by my hands and deftly cleaned but did not pick 1t. Then he sifted some dirt from the ground into a big mixing pan half filled with water. With these ingredients he mixed a paste of soft mud. Now he cut a slab of hAcon which he placed inside of the hon with a goodly sprink- ling of pepper and salt. At last stuffing feathers into the opening to keep the meat clean This done he covered the chicken with the mud paste. z Now l1e dug a hole deep enough to put the bird in. In the hole he built a fire and waited until there was thick coating of coals on the sides and bottom Next he carefully placed the bird upon these, throwing more coals on top. All this he covered with shovels of dirt until the hole was airtight. Now he turned to me and said:
 ''It will be cooked in one hour from now"
 With that he Went his way.
 At the end of the hour fe came again and throwing back the soil drew forth the chicken, quickly skinned it, and laid before us a deIicately browned chicken with wholesome odor about it.
