Branding the cows and yearlings and tame steers which watered at Silver Cup, and never wandered far away, was play according to Dave's version. "Wait till we get after the wild steers up on the mountain and in the canyons," he would say when Jack dropped like a log at supper. Work it certainly was for him.
Therefore, I say, turn out your trout in November, unless you can feed them on such food as shrimps, snails, bivalves and Corixæ; and if you stock with "ready made" fish, stock with yearlings in the late autumn. The turning out of his fish in November will also allow the amateur plenty of time to prepare his ponds and apparatus for next year's operations.
"Coming along now, Pratt?" called Judson. "Yes; I must be getting back to my own bone," replied Yearling Pratt. It would have been out of the question for yearlings to thank plebes for a service such as had just been rendered. So the late hazers merely stepped from the room. "Odd!
"Did you see yearlings?" "I saw them." "Did you see small calves?" "I saw them." After each answer the chip was moved nearer the chief, and when all the questions had been answered it was close to his body. Then Standing Water lifted up his hands toward the sky and thanked He amma wihio for all his goodness to the people.
"It is a game we play with yearlings there, but we never try it on an old stager, because, you see, if one should fall he would be in the sump, or in a drift where the air would be bad in a minute. That was a big fellow, but he had a ring in his nose, which made me the more sure of him, and then you see there was nothing else to do.
For several months previous the Indians had been missing stock from their herds of cattle. Steers and yearlings had mysteriously disappeared, even under the keen eyes and sharp ears of the Cherokees themselves.
Dick dropped his tone of presiding officer as he answered: "I take it, Miles -pardon me, Furlong, that your question really means, what are we going to do to the plebes?" "Same thing," contended the other yearling. "Why should we do anything to them?" asked Dick gravely. "Why should we -say, did you hear the man?" appealed Furlong, looking around him despairingly at the other yearlings.
The yearlings were being sold first tall, long-legged, skittish, wild-eyed creatures, who had run free upon the upland pastures, with ragged hair and towsie manes, but hardy, inured to all weathers, and with the makings of splendid hunters and steeplechasers when corn and time had brought them to maturity.
Then the grizzly and cinnamon, or brown, bear feasted all the time on stray calves and yearlings. Every spring and fall the cattle, which had roamed almost wild in the pastures, were "rounded up" by the cowboys, or vaqueros.
There were two horses in Lord George's stables, which, if he could have laid claim to the powers of divination would have kept him still "Lord Paramount of the Turf." They were the yearlings Surplice and Loadstone, and both were destined to make historic names in the classic races.
