TWO PLUNGE TO DEATH
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK
Auto Backs OF Preeipiee and Falls
Into Abyss More Than 1000
Feet Below

Livingston, Mont.-The first and
only fatal mishap in Yellowstone can.
yon occurred Sunday, July ID, near
G~randview, when an automobile slid
between two trees and backed off the
precipice into the canyon abyss, hurt
ling Its passengers, Mr.. and Mrs. Earl
]. Dunn of Minneapolis, to death more
than 1000 feet below. Two hours
later the bodies were found. horribly
mangled, in the car wreckage OF steel
and iron on the sandstone at the bot
tom of the canyon. n
Spectators saw the plunge to death,
but none can tell how the driver lost
control of the machine, or why he
backed toward the canyon in what ap-
peared to be an attempt to turn around
instead Of away from 1t.
The accident was a most unusual
one. The two trees between which
the machine shot in Its race downward
are only a few inches wider apart than
the width of a car. The machine went
through clearly, without hating a Sec
ond. No limbs INSTRUCTED Its course.
The precipice overlooks a sheer drop
of 1000 feet.
The machine and its occupants were
hurled more thar 200 feet, crashing
against jutting points and crags in Its
path Of destruction.

Care of Brood Sows and
Pigs During Hot Weather

After the pigs are born the SOW
should not have anything but water
for the first "a to SO hours. For the
first feed a handful of bran In a lit
tie lukewarm water Is good. A mix
lure of bran 10 pounds, shorts %
pounds, ground grain SO pounds, and
tankage 10 pounds, makes a suitable
ration for a SOW in milk. In feeding
a brood SOW in milk 1t should be kept
in mind that her requirements are
the same as for a dairy COW in milk.
At first only a light feed should be
given. as a heavy feed will unduly
stimulate the milk flow. making 1t
more than the pigs can use at first.
The ration should be increased grad
ually so that the sow will be getting
a full feed at about the end of two
weeks after narrowing. The appetite
of the SOW sucking a good healthy
litter is a pretty safe guide to follow.
She will usually lose weight with the
best of feeding.

Corn Best for Silo
When It Is Glazed
Right Preservation Depends
on Packing and Moisture.

The best time to harvest corn for
the silo is when 1t has begun to glaze
and. If a dent variety, when the dent
Is we'll developed. according to the
New Jersey State College of Agricul-
ture. If ensiled while too green IN ex-
cessive amount of acid Is formed. The
proper preservation of silage depends
On firm packing and plenty Of mois-
ture.
Silage made from frosted or too
greatly matured corn usually spOils
unless plenty of water is added and
1t Is well packed. Air pockets meal
nodded material. which is detrimental
to the health of any animal.
Even distribution of the silage Is
Important in filling. This is most cas-
lily accomplished by the use of the
jointed pipe distributor. The sllage
should be especially well packed along
the walls and If a large cutter is
used, at least two men should be kept
constantly tramping over the surface.
The silage exposed at the top OF
the silo will spoil. The practice of
some farmers Is to SOW oats on top OF
the silage so their roots will form q
nearly alright surface and prevent
deep spelling.
The use of a silo is no longer con-
sidered experimental. 1t Is a neces-
sary part Of the equipment Of a profit
able dairy farm, especially where corn
Is grown. A few years ago cow-test-
Ing association surveys In Pennsyl-
vania and New York showed that the
dairy herds fed on silage throughout
the winter averaged 20 per cent more
in production than herds which re-
ceived no silage.

Time to Build Silo

There Is always a timely warning

Owls Much Help
to All Farmers
Birds Are Useful in Destroy
ing Moths, Caterpillars
and Other Insects.

Is 1t not strange that we do not see
more owls, since they are such useful
birds on the farm? l shall never forget
the first time l SAY an owl; 1t was
exactly like p bundle of soft, %grayish-
white feathers. says a writer In the
Montreal Family Herald and Star. As
1t flew from the gable Of the farmhouse
to a neighboring elm tree l could see
nothing but feathers. no beak or claws
or head. 1t alighted on the elm branch
and kept perfectly still, so still that
presently a little field mouse passed
that why and never knew the owl was
there. watching, till 1t found itself
whirled a,oft. The owl swooped down
80 quickly and picked up the mouse
so swiftly that probably the poor little
mite hardly knew anything at all about
what was happening.
Habits Of Owls.
1t Is always difficult to find u any
thing about the habits of owls; they
come out only ut dusk, when 1t Is i'm
possible to watch them very closely.
and their eggs are generally laid in
places that are not easy to reach. 1t
happens sometimes that they come for
food near our houses, and the we may
catch sight Of them and their actions.
They are very fond Of sparrows, and
when the young ones are getting ready
to leave the nest the owls will often
come and steal them. This sounds
hard for the parent birds, but 1t Is a
-oNl A1tr- 90. <hn %o~p,Ar Gov. thn GNn -.
rows are g~rain-eating birds, and often
do a great amount Of harm.
Owls help the farmer, too. in getting
rid Of countless numbers Of mice. for
they are as fond of mice as Of birds.
Therefore, II an owl Is noticed haunt
Ing a house. especially in the country,
YOU may be quite sure he is after either
sparrows or mice.
Fond Of Rats and Mice.
Owls are sometimes blamed for eat
Ing young pigeons, but 1t is more usual
" rats thai get into the pigeon cote.
II the owls are see near the cote 1t
Is most probable that they have seen
the rat 60 in and are waiting for 1t to
come out. Any owl would much prefer
4 fine rat for his supper to a young
pigeon. and as long as there are rats
the owls Will hunt them and will gen.
orally leave the pigeons alone.
Young owls are very fond Of moths,
and In this way the whole owl family
is a great help to the farmer and gar
iener. We do our best to trap the

Treatment for Posts

Fence posts are much more effec-
lively treated with cresote II they are
allowed to season thoroughly before
the creosote Is applied. Green tim
beers can be treated by the steaming
and vacuum pressure system Of creo-
soting; but with the ordinary hot
bath treatment. II is difficult to get
the creosote to penetrate to the re-
quired distance when the wood cells
are full of sap. Hence the posts
should be held until seasoned before
treating.
