with dogs and found the bear dead

comes on in fall and is thick during
winter; so that bears have the thickcst

A Shy Animal.
The shyness of the Back bear has
proved It's salvation. When dogs get
or their trail they make for the thick

brakes, where it is impossible for Il
man to follow the dogs. If the dogs

far from being done for.
The Black bear is a great climber;
he can climb anything from small

man can meet around, and go up Il
like a squirrel. He can lie on his back
on a limb and go to sleep in perfect
security, like a fat man in ham

FARMERS PLEASED WITH
SUNFLOWER SlLAGE

Agricultural College, N. D., April
11.-An increased acreage Of sun
flowers for silage purposes this year
in Slope county, N. D., is the result
of the satisfactory experience of sew
eral farmers in the county with the
crop last season, Charles Eastgate, the
county agent, reports.
One farmer planted corn and sun
flowers together last year. After
the mixture came up the gophers and
cutworms took third of the corn, but
did not touch the sunfowers. When
the hot, dry weather came, much of
the corn dried up, but the sunfiowers
kept on growing, altho it did not make
as much growth as if it had had more
moisture. Cattle relished the silage
mixture, which was about two-thirds
sunfower and one-third corn. One
farmer who did not complete his silo
in time to put the sunfowers in it,
fed some of the fodder to his cattle.
The cattle cleaned it up, eating it in
preference to corn fodder or oat hay.
