CHAPTER XVII
The Captives to be Given Up

@Sss61Sp FEW days later the Sachem,
MlM@& Opecanough, with the chiefs
I(NIS Helochweni and Ahilocan-
s0' ough, and Ta-ou-chi, the
war-captain, came to the traders post
and announced that they were ready
to start on the journey east, to deliver
the captives to the Government as
they had promised.
even you will start ?" asked the ira
der.
"After two Sleep" said Opecanough.
$50 soon? We mus get dem ready
frs" objected the trader.
"You get ready one day an one
day; then start" persisted the Sachem
"Vell, We try" replied the trader,
who was loath to part with his guests,
and especially with his pet, Marie, so
soon. The latter had seen the Indians
talking with the trader and so had
Dannie, and the chiefs going up to
them, asked, "You go to white people
now2"
1--WE want to go as soon as we can
be ready" answered Marie.
The chief, holding up two fingers,
said, "you get ready; we go after two
sleep"
"All right" said Dannie, well be
ready"
Returning to the trader Opecanough
said, "You all come to wigwams when
moon up; we make feast"
1t was impossible to refuse and the
trader replied, "Varry goot, Opecan-
ough, We come; but no fire-water dis
time"
The chief smiled and said, "No, moi
dis time" as he walked away.
That day and the next, therefore
they We're all very busy at the post
making the needful preparations for
the long journey, as the trader was de-
termined that their comfort should be
we'll cared for in so far as he could
provide for it. The captives were glad
that the time had at last arrived when
their captivity would end, and yet they
were sorry to part from those by
whom they had been so kindly treated
Old Dinah was very busy preparing a
bountiful supply of her cookies and
biscuits and other good things for them
to take along, and Marie tried to help
her now and then while Mrs. Robinson
and the sisters were plying their nee,
dies on riding-skirts and other gar
ments, the materials for which the
trader had obliged them to select from
his rather limited assortment of goods
Dannie was giving particular atten-
ton to Marie's pony, which the trader
insisted she must ride, as she could
not possibly walk all the way.

POULTRY
FLOCkS
CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
When on Free Range There 10 No
Overlooking and Necessary Exer-
else Is Obtained.

Improper feeding combined with
close confinement has been the cause
Of many failur1s in turkey raising.
When on free range the pOults are
busy most Of the day searching for
feed. Here there is no overlooking
and lack Of exercise, such as poults
are often subjected to by those ignor-
ant of their wants. If the range is
.plentfully supplied witt green feed,
glnsshoppers, and other insects, and If
the weather is favorable, the best plan
is to allow the poults to feed them
selves. 1t is usually advisable, how
ever, to have them come home at night,
and If driven up and fed at certain
place every night they will soon learn
70 come up themselves.
When, on account Of rainy weather
n mfavorable range conditions, 1t is
advisable to raise the poults by the
oop method, more care must be given
o their feeding. ~" >"
Successful turkey raisers use many
Inherent kinds of feed. Some suggest

Hard-boiled egg chopped fine and

In addition to the above, skim milk
and buttermilk are quite often fed,

In view of the fact that there are
large quantities of ergoted grains in
last years wheat, particularly in the
northeastern counties Of the state,
which should be removed from the
seed wheat before planting, there has
been considerable inquiry from farm
ers and county agents as to the posi-
bility of combining the salt treatment
for the removal of ergot with the reg
ular formaldehyde treatment for the
prevention Of smuts and other seed
borne diseases. w. Weniger, plant
pathologist, North Dakota experiment
station, describes the treatment as fol-
lows: '--
The salt treatment consists Of i'm
mersing the seed wheat in a 20 per
cent solution of salt made by dissOlv-
ing about 40 pounds of common salt in
Is gallons of water. When the wheat
Is stirred, ergoted grains and shriv-
elled and light weight grains float to
the top and can be skinned off very
readily. It has been commonly recon-
menede to follow this treatment by at
least one washing Of the grain in clean

CAREFUL IN FEEDING CHICKS
2 idly II Fed Five Times Daily
II It 10 Done Right.

Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding, says
the United States department Of agri-
culture. Undoubtedly chickens can
be grown faster by feeding five times
daily than by feeding three times
daily, it should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the young
chickens by overfeeding than by I'M
derfeeding, and at no time should they
be fed more than barely to satisfy
their appetites and to keep them ex-
ercising, except at the evening or last
meal, when they should be given all
they will eat. Greater care must be
exercised not to- overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
that have free range, az leg weakness

SlLACE USED AS
FOOD Is ECONOMIC

(0y A. r. SchAlk, Veterinarian, North
Dakota Experiment Station.)
Silage Is a very economic food which
can be made from a number OF f0rages
as q method of storing large quanti-
ties Of food in concentrated form dur
fng the seasons when feed is plentiful
and which might otherwise go to
waste.
Under ordinary conditions silage Is
preserved with but little spoilage, but
usually there develops in the process
ing more or less moulds especially on
the top and around the sides of the
pit From the appearances and color
of spoiled silage, there are usually a
variety of moulds, fungi and yeasts
present. (The term spoiled or mouldy
silage as herein used includes moulds,
fungi, yeasts and possibly other para
site growths) A.
AS far as can be determined practi-
cally all silage moulds are harmless
for cattle, when eaten in small or mod
crate quantities. However, we cannot
say so much for horses and sheep. In
our northern country with its severe
winter weather, silage If often frozen
around the sides where most of the
moulds are found. Whether it Is en-
tirely the moulds or combination of
moulds and the frozen conditions
which renders silage dangerous food
for these classes Of animals is not
definitely know at this time.
Again, botulinus bacterium, which

In man has been found In connection
with silage poisoning in stock. It is
possible that this germ is more COM
mon in silage than suspected, or it may
be that the mOulds and the conditions
Of freezing and thawing render 1t more
active. 5> t.ss
The disease which develops from
these conditions of siiage is u forage
poisoning. The history Of most cases,
shows that mOuldy, frozen silage has
been scattered through the regular
feed or that the owner has uncovered
q pit and thrown out the spoiled sllage
where the animals have access to 1t.
The symptoms usually come on
within short time and are mostly Of
a nervous nature. There is difficulty
In swallowing. the tongue may hang
from the mouth and the patient usually

1. The seed wheat must be washed

T. A combination solution, consist

though such a process would savs

water and handling grain, it was fount
that even a two-minute soaking in such
a solution will reduce the termination

70 per cent for common wheats. A
hve-minute soaking, followed by .
thorough drying Of the grain previous
to planting caused from 40 to As PEI

3. If the grain Is immersed in the
combined salt and formaldehyde solu

and then washed once, the amount OF
injury Is considerably reduced, bu,
such method is not advisable, since
the effect Of the formaldehyde which
should be allowed to act for some

some Of the spoiled silage can be found
In the mouth wedged between the up.

When once sufficient quantity of

This Is certainly case where an
"ounce Of prevention is worth pound
Of cure" There are many instances
where both horses and sheep have
eaten silage for long periods Of time
without any bad results. However,
We also learn of many cases every
winter and spring wherein the most
fatal results have developed when the
animals eat even email quantities
Of this food when mouldy and
frozen. Therefore. realizing that most
all silage has some spoilage and know.
Ing how difficult 1t is to remove all
the mouldy, frozen, spoiled portions,
the writer would certainly hesitate to
use silage at all for feeding purposes
for horses and sheep In our part Of
the country under existing conditions.
