CHAPTER XIII.TBX GLEAM OF THE LIGHT7.

tH a single breath the face of .Jean Croisset became no more than a mask of wbat It had been. The taunting smile

lips and a gray pajlor spread er bis face as he saw Howland’s fln-

-crookcd Firmly on -tbo trigger of olver. In another Instant there he sound of a metafllc fcnap.

“The devlM An empty Cartridge!” owland exclaimed. "I forgot to load :er those three shots at the cup. It’s mlniTFlils Wine. Jeanr Purposely' be snapped the second

cartridge.

"The great God!’4 gasped Jean. “M’seur”—. From deep in the .forest came the baying of the Mackenzie hound. This time It was much nearer, and for a moment Howland’s eyes left the Frenchman’s terrified face as ho turned his head to listen.

“They are com lngr exclaimed Crois­set. “M’seur, I swear to”—

Again Howland’s pistol covered his heart

“Then it is even more necessary that I kill you,” he said, with frightful calmness. “I warned you that I would kill you If you led me Into a trap. Croisset. The dogs are bushed. There is no way out of this but to fight—If there are people coming down the trail. Listen to that!”

This time, from still nearer, crone the shout of a man and then of an­other, followed by the huskies’ sharp yelping us they started ufresh on the trail. The Hush of excitement that had come Into Howland’s face paled until he stood as white ns the Frenchman. But it was not the whiteness of fear. His eyes were like blue steel flashing In the sunlight.

“There Is nothing to do but fight,” he repeated, even more calmly than be­fore. “If wo were a mile pr two'back there it could ull happen as I planned It. But here”—

“They will hear the shots,” cried Jeon. “The post is no more than a gunshot beyond the forest, and there are plenty there who would come out to see what it means. Quick, m’seu r- follow me! Possibly they are tun.tors going out to the trap lines. If it comes to the worst”—

“What then?” demanded Howland.“You can shoot me a little later,”

temporized the Frenchman, with a ‘show of his old coolness. “Mon Diet;,I am afruid of that gun, m’seur. 1 will get you out of this if I can. Wil you give me the chance, or will you shoot?”

“ I will 8h,oot—if you fail,” replied the engineer.

Barely were the words out of his mouth when Croisset sprang to the brad of the dogs, seized the leader by his neck trace and half dragged the

, and sledge through the thick busli that edged the trail. A dozen paces farther on the dense^scrub open­ed Into the clearer run of the low hanging bansklan through which Jean started at a slow tro t with Howland a yard behind him and the huskies following with human like cleverness In the sinuous twistings of the trail which the Frenchman marked out for them. They had progressed not more than 800 yards when there came to them for a third time the hallooing of a voice. With a sharp “bup-hup” and a low crack of his whip Jean stopped the dogs.

again, hfore slowly and with greater caution than before, n a i f an hour later the Frenchman halted where the banskians climbed the side of a slop­ing ridge.

“If you could trust me I would ask to go on ahead,” whispered Jean “This ridge shuts in the p’s in, m’seur, and just over the top of It Is an old cabin which has been abandoned for many years. There is not one chance in a thousand of there being nny one there, though it is n good fox ridge at this season. From it you may see the light in Meleese’s window at night.”

He did not stop to watch the effect of his last words, but began picking his way up the ridge with the dogs tugging a t his heels. At the top he swung sharply between two huge masses of snow covered rock, and in

A deafening explosion filled tfio little cabin. From the lobe of Jean’s ear there ran a red trickle of blood. Ills face had gone deathly pale. But even as the bullet had stung him within an inch of his brain be had not flinched.

“Will you tell me, Croisset?”This time the black pit of the engi­

neer’s revolver centered squarely be­tween the Frenchman’s eyes.

“Non-, m’seur.”Tho eyes of the two men met over

the blue steel. With a cry Howland slowly lowered his weapon.

“Good God. but you're a bravo man, Jean Croisset!" he cried. “I'd sooner kill a dozen men that I know than yo«* ”

night. lie could see nothing of the buildings nt tho post but two or three I If gilts gleaming faintly through the) darkness. j

In these moments a desire (hat was ; almost madness swept over him. Since i his fight with Jean the swift passing j of (‘vents had confined his thoughts to their one objective—the finding of Me- leese and her people. He had assured himself that his every move was to be a cool and calculating one; that noth­ing—not even his great love—should urge him beyond that reason which had made him a master builder among men. As lie stood with the snow fall­ing heavily on him he knew that his trail would be covered before another day; that for an indefinite period he might safely wait and watch for Me­leese on the mountain top. And yet slowly he descended to the foot of the

The one lighted window was plainly visible now, Its curtain two-thirds drawn, and as he looked a shadow passed over It. Was it a woman’s shadow? The window darkened as the figure within came nearer to it, and Ilowland stood with clinched bands and wildly beating heart, almost ready to call out softly a name.

The shadow disappeared. Dimly Howland made out the snow covered stair, and he went to it and looked up. Ten feet above him the light shone out. Swiftly lie mounted the stair.

Again the threatening fire leaped into Howland's eyes.

“I will trouble you to put your hands behind your back, Croisset,” he com­manded. "I am going to return a cer­tain compliment of yours by tying your hands with this piece of babeesh. which you used on’me. After that”—

“And after that, m’seur”— urged Jean, with a touch of the old taunt ln

with sudden earnestness, “I'm almost j tempted to take a chance witli you. |Will you go down to the post tonight, | in some way gain access to Meleese j and give her a message from me?” j

Howland bad broken the breech of bis revolver and was replacing the three empty cartridges with fresh ones.

him. “After that?”“You will tell me all that I want to

know,” finished Ilowland, tightening the thong about his wrists.

He led the way then to the cabin. The door was closed, but opened readi­ly as he put ids weight against it. The single room was lighted by a window through which a mass of snow had drifted, and contained nothing more than u rude table built against one of the log walls, three supply boxes that had evidently been employed as stools, and a cracked and rust eaten sheet iron stove that had from nil appear­ances long passed into disuse. He motioned the Frenchman to a seat at one end of the table. Without a word bo then went outside, securely toggled the leading dog, and returning, closed the door and seated himself at the end of the table opposite Jean.

The light from the open window fell full ou Crolsset’s dark face and shone in a silvery streak along the top of Howland’s revolver as the muzzle of it rested casually ou a line with the other's breast There was a menacing click as the engineer drew back the hammer.

“Now, my dear Jean, we're ready to begin the real game,” he explained. , “Here we are, high and dry, and down Ohere—Just far enough uwtty to be out of hearing of this revolver when l shoot—are those we’re going to play against. So far I’ve been completely in the dark. I know of no reason why I shouldn’t go down there openly and be welcomed and given a good supper. And yet at the same time I know that my life wouldn’t be worth a red copper if I did go down. You can clear up the whole business, and that’s what you’re going to do. When I under­stand why I am scheduled* to be mur­dered on sight I won’t be handicapped as I now am. So go ahead and spiel. If you don’t I’ll blow your head off.”

“You muy shoot, m’seur,” Jean said quietly. “I have sworn on a cross of the Virgin to tell you no more than I have.”

Slowly Howland raised his revolver. “Once more, Croisset—will you tell

me?”“Non. m’seur.”

I tell you tiiat I am as deep ln trouble as you, M’seur Ilowland.”

lie dun nit. his eyes darkening gloom­ily. In that moment then* flashed into Howland's mind a memory of tho battle that Jean had fought for him on the Great North trail.

“You nearly killed one of them—that night—at Prince Albert.” he said slow­ly. “I can’t understand why. you fought for me then and won’t help me now. But you did. And you’re afraid to go down there’’ —

“Until I have regrown a beard.” in­terrupted Jean with -a low, chuckling laugh. “You would not bo tho only one to die if they saw me again like this. But that is enough, m’seur. I will say no more.”

With another length of babeesh Ilowland lied his companion’s legs.

“I'm going to Investigate a little.” he explained.

A few minutes later, after he had made his prisoner as comfortable as possible in the cabin, ilowland wont again through the fringe of scrub bush to the edge of the ridge. Below him the plain was lost in the gloom of the

face close to the window pane.On the b°d. facing him. sat Meleese.

n e r chin was burled in the cup of her hands, and he noticed that she was in a dressing gown and that her beauti­ful hair was loosed and flowing in glistening waves about her, as though she had Just brushed It for the night.A movement a slight shifting of her eyes, and she would have seen him.

He was filled with an almost master­ing Impulse to press his face closer, to tap on the window, to draw her eyes to him. but even as his hand rose to do the bidding of that impulse something restrained him. Slowly the girl lifted her head, and he was thrill­ed to find that another impulse drew him back until his ghostly face was a part of the elusive snow gloom. He watched her ns she turned from him and throw hack the glory of her hair until It half hid her in a mass of cop-# per and gold. From his distance be still gazed at her, choking and unde­cided, while she gathered it in three heavy strands and plaited it Into a shining braid.

For an Instant his eyes wandered.Beyond her presence the room was empty. lie saw a door and observed that it opened into another* room, which in turn could be entered through the platform door behind him. With his old exactness for detail he leaped

i to definite conclusion. These were ^Meleese’s apartments at the post, i separated from all others, and Meleese 1 ten m!nutcs 'was preparing to retire fer the night. !| l f the outer door was not locked and j I ho entered, what danger could there j ! be of Interruption? It was late. The j jpost was asleep. lie had Been no light j ! but that in the window through which j he was staring.j The thought was scarcely boru be- I fore lie was at the platform door. The latch clicked gently under his fingers.Cautiously he pushed the door Inward and thrust In bJs head and sboujeters.

It was a silence broken after a mo­ment by a short choking cry, the quick breathing terror of a face* turned sud­denly up to him robbed of its fltssh and quivering with a fear that still found no voice In words. He felt the girl’s arms straining against him for freedom. Her eyes were filled with Ltariug, questioning horror, as though his presence had grown into a thing of which she was afraid. Tho change was tonic to him. This was what he had expected—the first terror at Ms presence, the struggle against bis wili —and there surged back over him the forces he had reserved for this mo­ment. He opened his arms, and Me­leese slipped from them, her hands clutched again in the clinging drapery of her bosom.

Potato Crop.Maine fanners generally and tin

Aroostook potato growers in p ar ticu ­lar, "are interested in the reports from New York to the effect th a t the potato crop in the country a t large is a short one anil that the prices have doubled there already.

The Evening Telegram of New York says : “ I t will probably lie necessary to im port potatoes from

Europe, though the m av ease the situa-

C auada and Maine crops tion .”

“ I judge th a t the potato crop m tiiis country will he short a t least one million tons,” W. N. White, of W. N. W hite <fc Co., commission m erchants, said.

“ On May 1, 1909, potatoes were 97 cents a bushel, a year later 88 cents and May 1, 1911, 02 cents. On Aug. 1, 1909, the price was 85 cents ; Aug. 1, 1910, 0-1 cents and Aug. 1, 1911, $1.85.

“ The crop from Delaware, M ary­land, North Carolina and the other southern states is all in ; New J e r ­sey potatoes will be over by Sept. L and then there is the crop from Maine. We can’t im port from E u r ­ope until October or November, and even then it is a question as to what the crop there will be. There has been a hot wave in England and in Germany, though 1 believe there is a good potato crop in I re lan d .”

The crop in Aroostook never looked any better than a t tin? present time and tlie yield promises to be above the average, unless something un­foreseen happens.

OUR Town.If the en thusiasm w h i c h was

shown a t the m eeting which fol­lowed the supper of the Houlton C ham ber of Commerce or. last T h u rs ­day night, could be enjoyed by every citizen of Houlton, the fame of our na tu ra l resources and advantages would be spread broadcast, and the beauties of this spot in the Garden of Maine would become a s well known as the cities on the Pacific Coast, whose advantages are no better than ours.

I t was certainly inspiring to hear the rem arks which were made at this meeting, and could each one of us realize w ha t it means, the prob­lem of a Park would be an easy one.

The idea of not a ttem pting to buy the land, build a track and construct buildings in a week oi a month is the most feasible idea which has ever come up in regard to this im portant question, and if carried out will in­sure the building of a park for Fair and Trotting purposes.

Let every citizen take hold of this question and do just as much as pos­sible to help it along by’ pu tting in a liberal am ount of money, and by giving it a boost now, push the m a t­ter along and show the com m unity th a t we are alive.

The business of Houlton has and is undergoing a g rea t change, the men who have been in business for years are gradually’ giving way to the younger men, and no town in our State can show-so many' subs tan ­tial business houses conducted by Young Men, as can Houlton.

We are proud of this fact and it is a valuable asset to any community.

“ Roost for H ou lton ,” first, last and all the time. Tell about her beauties, tell of her advantages and Help all the time.

A safe and sane observance of the Fourth of July’ has been fairly in­augurated . W h i l e the numbers killed and injured show a marked decrease over recent years, even the most accurate record of casualties carynot toll the full story of a quieter and more rational observance of the da.v in thousands of towns and com­munities. The result is an im pres­sive showing of the power o’f organ­ization and agitation. If the press and t he organizations of men, women and children throughout the country th a t have led in the campaign will only keep it up, we predict a still more rem arkable showing a year hence.

plete system of improved highways woull cm. this loss in half.

Tie* great saving in transportation ot all kinds of products, including those of the mills as well as those of the soil, would am ount to many’ mil­lions of dollars annually’. In the case of the corn crop of the South alone, no less than $7,200,000 would he saved in transportation despite tlie fact t hat most of t he corn there is for home consumption.

Whenever a new road is built or an old one improved the value of the nearby land rises automatically’. This increase in itself is sufficient in most cases to pay’ for the improve­ment. The profit from the Country from this source is a lm ost inesti­mable, in fact it is a very’ conserva­tive estimate t h a t t h e s a v i n g throughout the Country', from all sources, as a result of the improve­m ent of 20 per cent, of the roads, would be somewhere between half a billion and a billion dollars every year And this saving would be ac­complished by an expenditure of $2,- Oki.oOO in each state the first y’ear and a much smaller sum each y’ear thereafter f o r m aintenance. The whole tiling depends, o* course, upon systematization and all the states working together, hut it would seem tha t the era of road building th a t has begun is tending toward those results.

The pure-food law was passed largely’ because of the efforts of President Roosevelt. I t was thor­oughly’ enforced under his adm in is­tration and has been as rigidly’ en­forced under the adm inistration of President Taft. Under both Presi­dents the present Secretary of A gri­culture, Mr. Wilson, has been re­tained and ti e enforcement of the law has largely’ depended upon his initiative. Dr. Wiley’ is not the a u ­thor of the pure food law. It would continue to be enforced whet tier he w'ere in tin* 'public service or not. He lias occupied a subordinate place in the departm ent, but has always managed to make it appear that he was the only' champion of pure food a t Washington. The public may’ rest assured th a t the pure food law will he enforced just as vigorously and earnestly’ w hether Wiley’ stays or goes.

President Taft has repeatedly , tnade i t plain that he is heartily in

In order to fit in with the engage­ments of the President, the date of the convention was changed from October to November 20 to 24 and now that the President has definite ly informed the officers of the as soolation that he will speak on the opening day the success of the con Vention is assured.

Who Takes the Paper Must Pay.

Maine Says “cut it out”

W e have recently seen inquiries in , some of the publications issued in th e in terest of publishers in refer- e u ^ to w he ther a subscriber who or­ders a new spaper for a definite length of time* can th ru legal claims be forced to pay if the paper is sen t to him for a longer .ength of time. The answer to this is “ yes;” pro­viding th a t there has not been an explicit unders tand ing between the publisher and the subscriber th a t

the publisher will stop sending the paper a t the time the subscription expires and th a t if he should fail to do so he will not charge for it. We have never heard of a s ta tu te law on this subject, bu t courts have in m any instances decided th a t the person who takes and m akes use of som ething of whieh lie knows th a t i t does not belong to him but to a n ­other, is liable to its owner for the value of the artic le so taken. W hen a subscriber takes a paper out of the mails regularly , w ithout having sub­scribed for it, or a f te r his subscrip­tion has expired, he takes som ething th a t does not belong to him, and he is liable for pay m en t to the owner. I t should be understood, th a t the publisher lias no more r igh t in this m a t te r than a farm er, tradesm an, laborer or anyone e lse ; and th a t if a publisher should, for instance, en ­ter into an agreem ent with a farmer, according to which the la tter was to deliver to the publisher each week for one year a pound of butter, and the fa rm er would continue to deliver the butter after the year had passed, and the publisher or some m em ber of his family would accept it, th a t in such an event the publisher would be liable to the fa rm er for the value of the butter.

A good many years ago the only argument advanced against the li­quor traffic was the personal one that liquor was bad for the individual. It ruined the homes, it. killed the babies, it lilled the almshouses and it was the basis lor most of the crimes and the misdemeanors. This is all true today as it was then but the method of attack is different. The idea wa3 then to snatch the brand from the burning and persuade the men to take the pledge to refrain from the use of liquor. The liquor men laughed at

! the pledge and alleged that it would I be kept only until the next drink wras I offered. It was entirely a personal I affair both on the side of the tern- [ perance people and on the part of the

liquor people. After awhile the public I conscience was aroused by the whole­sale debauchery, of. politics by the li­

quor element. Then to moral suasion was addd the “good citizenship” idea and restrictions were made closer. The reply to this method of attack on the part of the liquor dealers was the formation of associations for the pur­pose of controlling politics.

Then came the investigation of the subjects from the scientific s tand­point. It was said by the sociologist that liquor was the chief factor in the making of criminals and paupers, the physiologists discovered that in­sanity was increased by the use of li­quor. Pr^gtical administrators of great enterprises came to regard it as a menace to their business. Phy­sicians declared that alcohol had no curative power and Increased ra ther than diminished the tendency to tu­berculous diseases. Now there is no well-informed person that gives alco­holic liquors any credit for good, and all unite in condemning their use. Economists have found that the sa­loon does not decrease the tax rate hut ra ther Increases It. As a cold business proposition liquor is bad and only bad. The only question is, “How best can it be discountenanced and driven out, or how small can its use me made.” Maine says, ‘Cut it out en­tirely.'* And Maine has prospered in a generation's experience in this method of dealing with the traffic. Is it good sense to exchange a method that has proved good for one that has not been tried successfully in this state?

towns in Northern Aroostook ' and anything which theyrtfft|, and anytning wmeu wiujr

laydo W ihe benefit of the County 111 be gladly seconded by us in Mtthern Aroostook, and we will

not “knock” any project started in action, the way some of them

have done to projects starting here.( E d i t o r )

Aroostook Agricultural Society.

Following the m e e t i n g of the H« niton Chamber of Commerce, no- tfoe of wt.ich is given elsewhere in this issue, Mr. Geo. S. Gentle was

chosen C hairm an , and Roland E. C lark, Secretary.

The business of organization was taken up, by-laws read and adopted, and all details a t tended to by Chas. P . Barnes, cha irm an of the Com m ittee which had been appointed a t a m eeting of the C ham ber of Com ­m erce held in Ju ly .

The capitol stock of the Associa­tion is $60,000, which is divided into shares of $25 each.

The following directors were elect­ed by those who signed the articles of incorporation : Chas. P. Barnes, A. A. S tew art, Ed. Titcomb, A. E. Mooers, Geo. B. Dunn, Wallace D ykem an , Chas. H . McCluske.v.

Roland E. Clark was elected Clerk of the Association.

Following this the shares of the association were subscribed for in or­der to complete the organization.

These subscriptions which were taken by no m eans represent the am ounts th a t will be taken by citi­zens generally, as nearly every or.# p resen t subscribed only one share, in order to facilitate the organization bu t as soon as the officers are elected by the directors, a system atic can­vass for added subscriptions will be s tarted , and i t remains with those who are approached on this m atter , to fu r the r the ends for which tiiis organization is formed.

A t a m eeting of the Directors, W. A. D ykem an was elected Pres, and Chas. H . McCluskcy, Treasuaer.

The idea seemed to be universal th a t t ime should be taken and as large an am o u n t of stock as possible be subscribed for and have the pro­ceeds pu t a t interest, and eventually purchase land and build a track.

The selection ot a site will bo left with the Board of Directors and of­ficials, as th ey pee fit, and with tiie Interest which was shown by every one present, i t seems th a t with prop­er support, Houlton will in the near fu tu re have a Park.

The m a t te r is now out of the hands of the Cham ber of Commerce, who s ta rted the project and has Placed i t upon a business basis.

This is only one of the few things which H oulton’s Cham ber of Com­merce has done since Its organiza­tion, and H oulton certainly has rea ­son to be proud of an organization which is working for H oulton’s needs, and the best interests of the town and com m unity.

E v ery citizen should support this organization and if you are not a m em ber, call on F ran k Dunn, Sec’y and become a member. The fee is only $1.00 and the town needs your help.

W H EN HOULTON CITIZENS SHOW T H E WAY OU ' .

There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the an­noyance of urinary disorders, the dan­gers of diabetes or any kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that they can be cured. Read what a Houlton citizen says :

Mrs. Walter Hartford, Riverside St., Houlton, Me., says: “ My kidneys bothered me for several years but not badly until about a year ago. At that time I was in very poor health and some days was obliged to go to bed on account of a terrible ache in my back. When I was up and around I had lit­tle or no ambition and a feeling of de­pression clung to me nearly all the time. In spite of the various reme­dies I used, I was unable to obtain even temporary relief. A friend who had used Doan’s Kidney Pills advised me to try them and on her suggestion, I procured a supply at Hatheway Co.'s drug store. The results of their use were so satisfactory that I continued taking the remed} until 1 felt better in every way,”

While the axe is an important factor in the keeping of poultry, in some cases it is not used often enough.

Sometimes a sick fowl is doctored and fussed with, whereas if the axe were used at once the fowl would have been spared suffering and the owner’s time would have been saved. It is true that some birds recover under treatment, but there is always danger of a recurrence of the trouble ; or, ivhat is worsa, the descendants of that fowl are weak in that special way and are liable to the same disease.

I t sometimes happens that although the axe is used in the end, immediate action may be put off from day to day in the case of some fowl that has no contagious or deadly disease, yet is an unpleasant sight, or misery to her- self in a flock or yard. As, for in­stance, one that is partially lame yet not lame enough but that she can travel about ; or where a fowl becomes egg-bound. The quicker that fowls such as these are killed the better for themselves and for their owner.

They consume feed, they take up room, they are an unpleasant sight, and it is a mistaken kindness to allow them to exist.

Runts also should be disposed of, for they will usually eat as much if not more than the full-grown fowls, and are practically worthless.

Why I Breed Buff Wy- andottes.

In the poultry business today we are looking for the breed that is best for all purposes. We want a breed that will dress well for the table, mature early, care for easily, one that will stand hot and cold weather, and one that will look nice in the coop or yard.It js easy to get a breed that will lay well ; it is easy to get a breed that will dress well for the table; and it is easy to get one that will look well in the yard ; but we want a breed that has all, or nearly all of the foregoing quali­ties combined, for not many of us can breed three or four varieties.

The Buff’ Wyandottes are certainly one of the best all-round breeds for the farmer or the fancier, They are dis­tinguished for the value of their meat and their egg yield ; and as for looks there is nothing any prettier.

From the time a buff Wyandotte is six weeks old, they are always ready for the table, as their growth is fast and even ; they are not all bones at any stage of their growth. Whendressed they have a neat appearance, a nice, well-rounded breast, nevei rangy, and their skin is a rich yellow with the finest texture. It looks appetizing and is given preference by the consumer as well as the dealer.

One of the new wrinkles in poultry keeping is broilers. For broilers the Buff Wyandottes are excellent, as they are so plump in the breast. Whenproperly fed they will giow fast, show­ing a plumpness in the brtast that is so sought for in chickens at the broiler age. They will stand forcing for rapid growth, without losing their legs, much better than most other breeds.

As layers they are strictly flrst-eliss, and in many cases have led all by actu­al test. They are adapted to cold wea­ther and are good winter layers; they are quick to molt, and are the ideal bird for the so-called open-front houses. They can stand hot weather equally as well as cold, and are an easy bird to break up when broody. They lay a medium brown egg of a good size for market. They are a hard breed to fat­ten to the extent of stopping their lay­ing, and are an easy bird to ket p in good condition. For early-egg produc­tion and as steady layers they compare with the Leghorns, and for dressed poultry they are equal to most. The writer has bred Rocks, Reds, and other members of the Wyandotte family, and has tried them under all conditions in­cluding open-front houses, and found the Buff Wyandottes to be one of the best for a general fowl. The fact tha t they have come to the front so fast in the poultry allows (and this without a boom), is evidence that they have come to stay.

1 make a b u s i n e ss of raising hogs for the money there is in it and because I like the business. 1 attribute my success la ’gcly to the last-named rea­son. If you do not have a liking for your vocation you had better choose another.

There is no domestic animal that multiplies so rapidly as the hog, and none that may he turned more quickly into money and profit when properly managed and fed. Three litters a year are possible, although I do not recom­mend more than two), and pigs weigh­ing from 100 to 150 pounds at six months of age are often disposed of at $8 «hd $9 per hundredweight.

Why more farmers do not make a specialty of raising swine is a mystery to me ; and why more of them do not choose the thoroughbred instead of the scrub is still a greater mystery. It costs no more to feed a thoroughbred than a grade or scrub, in fact, not so much ; and their progeny is always worth sev­eral dollars apiece more for breeding purposes than those of no particular breed. .

I aim to get my spring pigs on pas- | hire as soon as possible. An acre of! grass ought to support twenty pigs

through five or six months in the year.Clover will do nearly as well. But it is a good plan to provide some other pasture for early spring and late sum ■ 1mer. For the spring there is nothing ' S O I 1 1 0 O f t / l l G t ) G S tbetter than rye. Pigs farrowed i i B a rg a in s in F arm s andMarch can be turned into tire rye with V iH iage HomeS, StOreS,

der corn which has not been pi ante* l so thick that it will not grow a large per­centage of ears. This I feed in the pens in addition to a thin slop ofc'U.i- meal and middlings. The corn-meal is fed sloppy and sparingly at first, but gradually increased until they are ge t­ting all they will clean up three times a day. I use plenty of water at first to make a thin slop, hut later use only enough to make a crumbly dough. |

Having no pasture for my fall pigs I j do the next best thing — use a substi- j tute. My experience lias been that in j

order to grow a strong, thristy hog with i plenty of stamina and muscle you have I got to give him a bulky food in connec- j tion with the concentrate, the same as ! you do other stock.

I do not do as the majority of feed­ers do—feed the entire clover or hay— as I find they waste too much, and I never oave any to waste. All hay is well shaken in the barn floor before it is thrown down the chutes for horses and cattle. These blossoms and leaves are swept up daily ami sacked, and later taken to the hog entry. A quantity of these leaves and blossoms is mixed with corn-meal and middlings and thorough­ly wet with hot water.

I never knew what it was to have fall pigs that would actually grow un ­til I begun using the foregoing method of feeding. T h e y are compelled to chew the food winch, if fed in slop, they would gulp down in a ft w nun utes. The large quantities of this mix­ture a thriving bunch of sho'es will consume daily would make some ' f the° ' fellows who laugo at the idea of feeding hay to hogs open their eyes.
