Sells was fast. Base stealing was down
his alley. On the trip over from Great
Falls, arch-schemer Chase and some of
his mates %concocted a simple formula
to stop Sells stealing second:
If and when Sells reached first base,
the prescription called for three sue
ceSSive p~itch-outS, with Chase leaving
his position on the pitch, to cover the
bag. Daniels, Great Falls catcher,
owned a fine whip. The trap was laid
for Sells.
On n of his times at bat, Sells
dumped a bunt in front of the plate,
Ball" said the umpire as the next
batter looked one over. It was a pitch
out. Sells didn't get off the bag.
Didn't Have to Steal
Oh the next pitch-it was wide, too
Chase rushed to cover second. The
batter reached for the ball, connected,
and it sailed down in the sector just
vacated by Chase. Sells made third on
the hit.
Had Chase played the batter instead
of being so intent on stopping Sells,
q double play would have been possible.
That day Sells ran wild on the bases.
Somehow or other he overlooked steal
ing second, which was some conSola-
ton to Sam Chase. The planned method
of putting the bee to Louie didn't work
out according to the Chase blueprint,
which did not take into consideration

D. Foster, who came from Iowa to
Alder gulch in 1861. MI. Foster was
brought to Iowa by his parents while
a small child. The country was then
a vast wilderness. At the age of 81
he struck out for California. He staked
out a homestead near where Sacrament
to now stands. He went back to Iowa to
get his family, and in 1861 started out
for the new home. Arriving with his
covered wagon at L,aClede station-in

HAY IS
VALUABLE FOOD
COWS AND SHEEP THRIVE
ON SUCH FEED

Russian thistles, which have re-
peatedly been pressed into service
for emergency livestock feed, can
be used for pasture and, when cut
at the proper time, make q hay
that has approximately two-thirds
the feeding value of alfalfa when
properly supplemented, says DR.. A.
H. Walker, assistant animal huS-
bandman for the Montana agricuI-
tural experiment station.
Cattle and sheep do well on thistle
pasture before the spines harden. Young
thiStleS, however, cause considerable
securing, but it seems to effect sheep
less than cattle. Sheep will eat thistles
in the winter if snow has softened the

and being in excellent condition" at
the end of both easons.
When thistles are being used for hay,
they should be cut in the full-bloom
stage, or before the SpineS have hard
ened. Where cutting is delayed, the
thistles become coarse and woody and
the protein content is reduced.
Apparently the best method of cut
ting Is with a mower. ThiStleS should
be stacked Immediately after cutting,
with little or no curing. Allowing a

Excellent results we're obtained
feeding thistles to beef COWS at the
north Montana branch station. The
cows we're fed a daily ration of about
ID pounds Of thistles containing 10 per-
cent alfalfa and one pound of cotton
seed cake. Similar lots of cows were
fed approximately the same amounts
of spring rye, bluejoint, sweet clover
and alfalfa without supplement. The
thistle ration gave approximately the
same gains as the other rations.
The excellent results were obtained
because of the alfalfa supplement and
because the thistles were fine stemmed.
In another trial with thistle hay, the
COWS lost weight. The eaSon was at
tributed to the thistles containing con-
siderable roots and dirt. AS a result,
the COWS probably ate less than was
required for maintenance. The weather
was also particularly severe.
Experimental results prove that Rus
sian thistle hay, properly supplemented,
is a satisfactory emergency feed" says
Walker.
