Indian Gives Girl Saddle.

Tyndall, S. D.-What without doubt
is one of the finest and most valuable
saddles in the whole Northwest has
been presented to Miss Anna Kirk of
this city by IN old Indian friend. The
saddle is entirely covered with beads,
red, white and blue, fashioned in diff
ferent designs. The saddle shows
wear. and evidently had been in use
in the tribe for some years. The work
on it indicates hat many months and
perhaps years, were required to make
the saddle and fashion the beadwork
designs upon it. Miss Kirk refused an
offer of $3.50 for the saddle, which
thought to be n of the finest exam.

GOOD COVERING FOR SILAGE
Run in cornstalks From Which Ears
Have Been Removed-Top Is
Thoroughly Tramped Down.

Prepared by the United States Departs
ment OF Agriculture.)
Several years ago it was a common
practice to cover the silage with some
material, such as dirt or cut straw, in
order to prevent the top layer from
spelling. At present when any provi-
sion at all is made for this purpose it
consists usually in merely running in
on top c~ornstalks from which the ears
have been removed. BY this method
some Of the corn grain Is saved. The
heavy green corIstalks pack much bet
ter than straw does and so exclude the
air more effectually. The top is thor
oughly tramped and then wet down.
Sometimes oats are sown on the top be-
fore wetting. The heat generated by
the fermenting mass will cause the oats
to sprout quickly and form a dense
sod, which serves to shut of tie air
from the silaga beneath, and in con-
sequence only a very shallow layer
spoils. Whenever possible, it is better
to begin feeding from the silO as c
as it is filed; by doing this no cover
ing is necessary and there should be no
loss ON account of spelling.

Prescott, Ariz.-That the Squaw

of H. L. Loomis, prospector, who says
he recently uncovered portions of 10
skeletons there.
In the old graves the prospector
found a cupful of tuquoise and small
pieces of ancient pottery, some Of
which have been sent to the University
of Arizona and the remainder to the
Smithsonian Institution.
All the bones found were those of a
diminutive race, Loomis said.

tiIated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
The feet Of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula-
tons of dirt may be removed. A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening will
add to the comfort Of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as mains
or stones lodge in the wall or sole Of
the foot or are collected in the clefts
of the frog or between the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth
1t is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better. and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat of winter hair with p~erspiration.
Horses that are clipped as o o as
heavy spring work begins should be
blanketed at night.
