thoroughly happy axd care free he talked and laughed with the trainmen told stories of the plains and listen ed to others of wrecks and adventures rem their railway experiences the time passed quickly and pleasantly after an hour or so they heard sounds ftom below that told them that the wrecker vta at workc then the signalman came out of the bushes and picked up his lantern walked off to the

a valet to a hereford bull that aint been de horned yet said bob to frank marcy who rode ever to the station with him but it s batter than fence building and that s the alternative if i stayed it was three hundred and sixty miles to wolfords and the train crossed the pass at an elevation of six thous and feet the journey would take bob down among the orange groves of san bernadino and he was glad of a change from the plains of nevada the ride to wolfords was entireh uneventful bob who disliked inaction vawnd many times and wished hum- self back with the fence gang but at last the train brought him to liis destination be rot off at the station and walked the two miles to the wol- ford ranch at sight of the neat barn and stables the painted fences and the attractive bungalow he woke up a little he ha- never seen a ranch like that an his side of the mountains mr wolford made bob welcome and told him to look around all he wished the main business of tht ranch was dairying and selling blooded stock tv bob who had been raised on a stock ranch of the old style the wolford ranch ran on modern scientific principles was a revelation re watch ed the electric milkers in dumb amase- ment and was astonished to observe that before the cow was milked the men brushed her sides and washed and dried her udder wait the signals from the wrecker en gine told them that the track clear the

to run back alongsde the b ain the clank of the couplings and j the jar as the train started came j when he was npt more than a third of the way and he ran faster be knew that he should have to reach high to get a grip on the side of the car and that he must not let go his grip when he once gpt it by the faint moonlight he could see the cattle car cohung to meet him he stopped short wheeled and began to run with the train when the cattle car over took him he reached up and caught the latticed side as he drew his body up he noticed for the first time that the side door which- he had shut was standing half open be could see the bull with his white face turned toward him and felt thankful that the creature was still safe and sound but be could not imagine how the door had gotten open shirting bis weight a little to one side he slipped in through the door then he saw that the bull was greatly excited yanking the door shut and fastening it at the same time he started toward the beast but he had taken only a step of two when a sound iromi the other end of the car made him turn beside his blanket stood a bear growling and showing its white teeth bob felt his red hair rising and panic almost seised him he looked eway toward the bull but when be within reach of the excited which was now bellowing in thunder ous tones the creature gave a quick thrust forward and thrust viciously with his horns one horn caught the seat of bobs overalls and flung nim against the side of the car the atxcatwoke him from his daae and he knew what to do stepping quickly in doss to pluto he uasnapped the line from the nose ring now that the bull was free be became more confident and stepping out farther from the side lowered his head and pawed the straw the bear started to rise on its haunches ed its mind and growling waddled toward wuto oh if i only had a sixgun i groaned bob iff i get out of this ill never be retched without one again he ran his hands through his pock ets and his fingers touched a clasp knife it was not much of a weapon with which to fight a bear but it was better than nothing opening the knife he stepped close to pluto team work was the only thing that would

the station agent telephoned that the cattle car had been set in on the switch but mr wolford decided not to load plutto the bull until the after noon the train that was to picks up the car was not due until a quarter after five and there was no use in making the bull stand in the car any longer than wa- necessary by the end of his journey the beast would be tired enough of his quarters about half past three mr wolford rode out of his sate holding the rope that was fast to pluttos nose ring bob rode behind on a borrowed horse they let the bull take his own gait to the station for they wished to humor the beast in every way possible so that he would be in an ahnable mood on the trip the loading chute did not dismay the animal in the least and he was soon standing in a thick straw carpet tied in one end of the car in the other end on a lot of loosely piled straw bob spread his blankets at twenty minutes after five the car rolled out on the main line at the rear of a heavy freight train bob tried to establish friendly relations with his travelling companion and for awhile be talked to the bull and scratched his neck he found the beast quite ready to accept his little attentions when bob tired of that he sat on his blankets and sang three of four of the lugubrious songs that cowboys delight in even that amusement palled on him after forty or fifty verses and he lay back with his hands under his bead he could see the stars through the openwork sides of of cattle car we alnt gain to lack for oxygen my ol buuygen he remarked to plutto otught you whitefaced hyprocrtte pretendfn you like this kind of travellln pulling the blankets over himself bob yawned widely and loudly and was asleep before his teeth clicked together clanking along the grades the en gine tolled and snorted through the night so long as the train kept mov ing bob sleeping tn the cattle car heard not a sound but every time the train stopped his eyes fairly flew open and he stayed awake until the train was moving again at those times he always took a look at pluto well along in the night the train pulled its heavy length up to the level at the head of the pass and there found a signal to stop the whistle yelled and screeched staccato notes across the ridges among the peaks and canons and the brakes squealed com- plalhingly pluto old boy this isn t no station said bob unrolling himself from his blankets and going to the side door which he pushed open by golly the summit of the pass what in time has hit us now he jumped to the ground and reaching backward pulled the doorj shut then he struck off up the track to where he could see two lanterns tmbbhigbeside the train he found the conductor and two brakemen talking with another man who proved to bt the signalman from a wreck that lay half a mile ahead she bucked plumb cross the rurht of way and uss there all mixed up watting for m snecker the 4gnh man was saying the wrecker ought to be along to an- hour and then it will tain a ooupje more to clear the track sou boys might aijrell set a signal and take a nap ran aburto crawl into the bushes lor a snoose right the loafers seated on the long ben ches before a new hampshire country store stopped their whittling and des ultory gossip and indolently sat up even the farmers horses nuxxling their soft noses in the three gnawed and weatherbeaten feed trough raised their heads an important event was about to happen for the stagecoach which carried the mall and an occas ional passenger to the mountain vil lage was due on one of its triweekiy trips the rattle of the huge wagon and the clipclop of the horses feet sounded down the narrow dusty road with a flourish of the whip and about ten oclock the next mornrns re nuddle s i the floor pluto charged as the bull went forward with his tall held high the bear started to rise on its haunches in order to have its fore arms free for striking but it too slow thejiull hit the great beast with its left shoulder at the base of the neck and knocked it fairly over on the other side bob beard the bear snarl with rage and pain as the bull pressed his advantages with heavy strokes of his hard white horns then came the sounds of heavy slaps as the bear struck at the bulls neck in sud den panic bob realised that one of those slaps mint break the bulls powerful neck lie thought not so much of his own daneer if he were left alone with the bear as of the fact that he must save the bull which was in his charcpe clasping the knife handle he sailed in as he threw hia body forward hs struck and struck hard he felt the blade go home and quickly drew it back for another stroke the train had hjt the down grade now and was fast gathering speed the cattle car was rocking and lurching the fighters nearly rolled in a heap three times bob struck before he received any hurt then a paw came down across his light forearm and the claws tore long silts in his flesh thankful that the blow bad not made him drop his knife he shifted it to his left hand and again threw him self into the fight as he struck and gouged he could see the white face of the bull swing from aide to aide then the face grew dark with blood that flowed from the bull and the bear the whole fight seemed one great hideous round of snarls bellows growls and yelps bobs arm rose and fell twice more then he forgot every thing when the train stopped at a siding to switch two carloads of ranch ma chinery and supplies a drakeman held a lantern at the side door of the cattle car what he saw made him shout to the conductor and the other brakeman they opened the door and carried the redheaded cowpuncher toward the caboose then they tied up f a badly scratched bull and looked curiously at a bloody mass of fuf that had once been a bear weighing seven hundred pounds when the doctor had finished sew ing and patching and sterilising the claw cuts on bobs arms and the two that ran all the way from the back of his head to his shoulder blades the cowpunchers blue eyes peered at him from among the bandages well doc bob chuckled it was sure some zephyr of a scrap driver brought tbestae to a stand still be flung off the

apparent to anyone driving across the great pasture l lands of the western part of the provtnco at this time of the year where there should be good luxuriant grass in many cases growth of inferior herbage is found when the canadian farmer speaks or pastures he has in mind three kinds first permanent pastures fwhich in the main consist of lands which have rarely been plowed but have been in grass ever since the for est was cleared second land which has been under the plow but which has been sown to a mixture of grass and clovers and left as permanent pas ture for a long period of years third grass land in the rotation from which last year hay was cut but which this year left for pasture and next year will be plowed and sown to cultivated crops this note deals with the first type of pasture only for the past three years tests of the effect of dressing natural perman ent pasture have been carried out by the department of chemistry ontario agricultural college a mineral ap plication was made for a four year period and the nitrogen fct applied annually in the spring the first cutting results for 1932 are in accord with those harvested other years the minerals alone show a material in crease in clover in the early pasture while the addition of nitrogen tends to increase the grass at the expense of the clover in the early pasturage later cuttings in pervious years show a material net increase in pasturage where nitrogen phosphotrc add and potash have been applied at this date it is impossible to give a com parison of pasture days since the stock have not as yet been over the entire fertilised and unfertilised areas it is interesting to note that last years records show an increase of almost 60 in pasture days where complete fertilisers were used and 33 where minerals alone were ap plied in one pasture recently examined evidence is accumulating as to the effectiveness of treating many of ho permanent pastures a splendid ex- below will be round a brief
