NEW YORK CRY, May


Dear Aunt Mad9e:
shan't make any excuses you'll under
stand-as l am always busy. The city is
full of people, and we are having parsdes
and speeches everywhere. / thought when
the Dewey celebration was here that never
could see anything fine again. Then
came the Hudson-Fuiton, afterwards the
suffragettes, and now the returning soldiers.
OF course a great many of the NJ. BIS are
here and enjoying it, too, and many OF you
have the papers and pictures of it, but few
l know may be glad to hear how 1t looked
to me.
Saturday the Victory loan was so wonder
full could not keep from tears and laughter
all of the day. Every phase OF the war was
on the floats, Just as life-hke, as one OF my
soIdier-boys said, "as if we were there
Just think OF my scholars being in IT; and
by and by I am going to send you type
written sheet Of verses one of my boys, who
went to school to me here in New York
twenty years ago, sent me from France. He
is still there. and it seems to me it is as pa
thetic an appeal for the Victory loan as
any.
During the parade we saw the airplanes,
the tanks, the trenches, the machine-guns
cred, the gas thrown, the testing Of how much
gas man could stand, the doctors working
in he hospitals, the Red Cross nurses, the
canteeus, the telephone and the wireless
working, the throwing of smoke bombs and
the colored smoke, the fighting, whole ships
fitted up and trains of cars as big life.
Some OF tie floats were very funny One
where an American soldier was driving the
kaiser into hell with his bayonet and the
devil dressed as Mephistopheles in Faust"
was pushing him back as though he wouldn't
have him there. Then the Salvation Army
doughnut girls who had been across, and the
women who had driven ambulances over
there and. Oh! so many things
We were shown men making uniforms. and
cooks making the soups, and boys at chow,
and mail sent and received, ammuu milton
workers and plates of steel being welded by
acetylene torches and all kinds of machinery,
the preparation and sending of the different
food stuffs, the making and packing of the
uniforms and shoes.
Then, too, we saw a sham battle high up in
the air, of airplanes, and the iron swing that
they teach men to ride in. One of the soldiers
was turning over and over in it till you were
fairly seasick looking.
Imagine walking along and hearing voices
up in the air, and looking up. seeing nothing
but few wires with what looks like bells
above. At first thought could locate the
voices, but finally had to be informed that it

was a wireless arranged for the Victory loan.
Il counted FIVE, and it also told us the time
from different cities, etc. Then, TOO, the
talking from one float to another long way
off.
The great pyramids OF German helmets,
and the arches, the statues, the wreaths and
palms, the tower Of jewels lighted up at
night by colored electric lights, and the white
columns with battles and wonderful sayings
of the soldiers. the paintings of the countries
of the world and their people-but could go
on for long time and never tire, it seems to
me. but to see it is so much more interesting
than to hear me tell of it that l will close
with kindly membranes to all NJ. BIS.

KEEP WALNUTS FOR PLANTING

count of the important part 1t has play
ed in the war. and the strong demand
for the wood for cabinet material, cas-
kets, musical instruments, furniture,
etc.
The nuts for planting should be Sc
lected, so far as possible, from Wig
orous trees producing good-sized nuts
in abundance. If squirrels and hogs
are not troublesome, the nuts may be
planted this fall, putting two nuts in
hole and covering with about 2
inches of soil well firmed. In many
places the safest method is probably
to keep the nuts over winter and plant
them in the spring. For this purpose
a pit, dug s to u inches deep in a
well-drained, cool location, is a desira-
bic storage place. A layer of nuts, two
nuts deep, is covered with an inch of
sand, and so on until all the nuts
are stored, after which soil should be
mounded over the pit to shed excess
moisture Nuts mixed with sand will
keep quite satisfactorily in a cool cell
lar. A bushel of walnuts contains
from HOO to l 400, depending upon the
size of the nuts, or enough to plant an
acre using two nuts in each hole, spac-
Ing the latter feet apart each way.

MISTAKE IN FEEDING COWS
to Give Good Animal Sufficient
Amount of Feed.

F'rom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
One of the most common mistakes
In the feeding of dairy cows is that
the good cows are not given a suffi-
cient quantity of feed above that re-
lulred for their physical maintenance
to obtain the maximum quantity OF
milk they are capable of producing.

utilize corn slower to best advantage
it should be used early in the winter,
saving other roughages until later.
Other coarse roughages may also be
used to better advantage by feeding
them to dry cows and feeder steers.
saving the more desirable roughages
for breeding animals and calves. Dry
cows and steers may be wintered large
ly on roughages alone by beginning
to feed them earlier in the winter. be
fore they begin to lose weight. This
is particularly true of the cattle
shipped into the Southwestern states
from the drought area of the South
west. These cattle are in somewhat
thin condition and should be fed more
literally than native cattle. at least
until well started through the winter
feeding period.

5ulldossins Cowbow's Daring Sport

The greatest, most daring and thrill
ing sport of ranch life is bulldog
ging a steer. 1t is an exploit which
only few rangers will attempt. Many
have lost their lives at it.
1t is a.most unusual stunt and re
quires an abundance of nerve. 1t
means riding into the face of very
death with the chances 100 TO
against coming out alive.
Few city people know what bull
logging is. At a recent roundup, on
the Two Bar Triangle ranch, near
Prescott Arizona, an Eastern college
professor witnessed the antics of the
cowboys and gasped in establishment
when he saw the bulldogging feature.
Here is what he saw:
A cowboy, yelling at the top of his
voice, came dashing across the plains
on an unsaddled poney. A herd of
1000 cattle was stampeding into d
wind-fanned prairie fire.
The cowboy still on his horse rode
through the herd to the front of the
maddened animals, jumped on to the
back of the steer that was leading and
catching him by the horns fought and
struggled until he threw the infuri-
ated animal.
The rest of the herd. which had
naturally followed the leader, spread
into Nshaped formation. scattered
in all directions and were corralied in
time to save them from plunging into
the blaze.
That's bulldogging.
Henry Sienkiewicz, author OF
Quo Vadis.' gives a vivid descrip-
ton of bulldogging in his book He
tells how Ursus. the gian Lydian bull
