D1iry and Creamery.

Here is an excellent feed for dairy
COWS: Take of corn bran and wheat
bran equal parts by weight, Mix thor
oughly and to eight pounds Of the mix
ture add two pounds of cottonseed meal.
This will make a grain ration for one
day for an average sized COW. To this
should be added all the ensilage, hay or
fodder the COW will eat.
In feeding COWS for dairy tests three
mistakes are made, writes John Cox.
They are these: l. Giving too much
food and water Immediately after a
journey, when the animals are tired. Q.
Feeding too literally. 3. Giving too
much food at one time.
The little Irish Kerry COW makes 244
pounds of butter year. The milk
yields one pound of butter to every
eight quarts. In Ireland the Kerry is
the COW most valued for the dairy. She
is called the poor mans COW because she
makes such large return for the cost Of
her keep. There are few Kerry herds
in America-one in Massachusetts,. an
other in New York.
II mild, rich, moist cheese-one
that stays so-could be invented at our
factories, every pound Of it would find
market at home. The trouble with the
average cheese is that it becomes hard,
bitter and tough in very short time.
and then pig could scarce abide it.
George A. Smith says: The milk of
"a COWS sent to cheese factory aver
aged 71.9 cents per 100 pounds, to a
butter factory averaged GIL cents per
100 pounds and to milk station av-
eraged 20. / cents per 100 pounds, with
COWS fresh in the fall and giving 8 per
cent milk. The milk sold for making
fancy cheese averaged 96.6 cents per
100 pounds, and where the first diaries
averaged about 4, 900 pounds the last
gave over 5000.
American cheesemakers begin to un-
derstand the necessity of good curing
rooms

CHAPTER V.

After taking a look at the body and
having Hendricks point out the tracks
in the sand and the spot where he had
found the revolver the coroner and his
men went into the house. Ralph had
decided, as it would be necessary to
hear the testimony of the ladies of the
household, to have the inquest held in
the library
DR.. Lampkin saw Hendricks eying
the different members of the household
covertly as they came in and took seats
after Mr.. Meynell had announced his
readiness to proceed with the inquest.
Arthur Montcastle and Miss Benton
were the last to arrive They sat on
sofa little removed from the others of
their party.
Charles Stanwood was the first wit
ness called He testified that he was
walked about half past o'clock by Miss
Hastings, who informed him she had
heard the report Of a revolver in the
garden from the direction of the north
walk. He had dressed hastily and gone
down stairs with Miss Hastings. who
objected to being left up stairs alone.
They had found Mr.. Montcastle below
with Miss Benton, and Ralph Benton
soon afterward joined them.
At this juncture Hendricks, who was
sitting beside Mr.. Meynell, looked
sharply at the pair on the sofa and
whispered something into the coroner's
ear. The officer nodded and put ques-
ton to the witness.
"Do you happen to know which room
is usually occupied by Miss Benton?"
1T is directly across the hall from
this one," replied Stanwood.
Miss Benton threw startled glance
at Hendricks, and then her eyes met
Montcastle's steady, calm gaze. 1t
seemed to Lampkin that it held warn
ing, for the girl nervously balled her
handkerchief in her hand and stared at
the floor. ...-.- ..,,.
"And which room was occupied by
MI. Montcastle?" was the coroner's next
question. .....- .... =. H.
Miss Benton raised her eyes in fur
ried way. but Montcastle leaned for
ward, touched her hand and whispered
something to her. s.
'Mr. Montcastle's room is adjoining
Miss Benton's," answered Stanwood.
"You were the first to approach the
dead man. think, Mr.. Stanwood, were
you not?" continued Mr.. Meynell
II was, replied the witness
Again Hendricks suggested q ques-
tion to the coroner.
"Was Mr.. Benton quite. dead when
you discovered him in the garden?"
asked Mr.. MeynelL y
"Yes, and quite cold,,' was the re-
ply. miss Hastings said she had heard
the report about an hour before she

II have never Seen your match. What
is the trouble?''
Cant for the life of me understand
why the murderer was so careful tc
toss his weapon into the grass And then
here is another mystery. Do you see the
tracks leading from the body in the
center of the walk?"
"Quite plainly now" replied Lamp
kin. but / should not have noticed
them if you had not pointed them out. /"
Come here Hendricks stepped
along the edge of the grass in the direc-
ton Of the house about ten yards far
Their He pointed to the tracks in the
walk
Can you imagine anything more
perplexing than that?"
"Whst? l don't understand.
"The blamed things end right there, I"

smile of defeat ut is as if the wearer
of the boots had suddenly taken wings.
I cannot imagine any possible way for
him to have ceased walking at that
point. I say. Mr.. Benton" raising his

"Oh, yes," replied Benton. "I'll
bring him myself. -
'Thank you very MUCH" replied
Hendricks And when the young man
had left he went back to the dead man
and carefully retraced his steps, singing
out each track the supposed murderer
had made till they ended at the point
mentioned.
Lampkin had an idea and drew near
his friend
81 see the imprint of wheel on the
opposite side,' he said. Gould he
have jumped to the grass and escaped
in some sort of vehicle?'
II thought of the jump because his
toes do turn toward the grass over
there" replied the detective, ''but
there is SO sign of his having made a
landing AS to the wheel, my friend,
don't tell me you don't know how that
was made.
''But DON'T" confessed Lampkin.
"It will dawn on you," Hendricks
returned, nervously chewing his mus
tache and pulling his beard.

Hendricks took q folded ruler from his
nocket and dot dOlUn ON his knees
walk. There are the footprints OF a
man and woman going from the gate
toward the house," Hendricks took a
folded ruler from his pocket and got
down on his knees. He first measured
the tracks leading to where the dead
man lay and then compared the meas
urement with those going toward the
house.
Impossible to be accurate in this
dry, gravelly sand," he said. 1.-THE
masculine tracks are very nearly the
same size, and that's as near as / can
come to it. shall find out what this
means, however, if l work on it the
rest of my born days..
II saw you pick up something beside
the body and put it into your pocket,
but could not see what it was" said
the doctor lis it secret from me?''
The detective laughed good humored-
~ and put his fingers into his vest
pocket.
"Shan't keep thing from you. old
man." he replied. "I'd trust you with
my head. Do you see this tiny thing?"
1T looks like the burned end of a
match, " returned the doctor, allowing
Hendricks to drop it into his palm.
a.. docs it look like an ordinary burned
end Of match?" asked Hendricks,
warming up to a revelation and smil-
ing boyishly-
Il believe SO, except that perhaps it
is very short. -.
"Short? I should think SO when less
than quarter of an inch of it has been
left unburned. Now imagine it blazing
and let me see you hold it between your
fingers"
Lampkin made the attempt, holding
the bit Of wood as near to the end as
possible. 1T is all could have done, I"
he said. And it would have burned
my fingers, l am sure. The fellow that
struck it must have had a tough cigar
to light" a.
And been anxious to smoke" added
Hendricks tentatively. Then he laughed
softly. za.
"Oh, see now," began the doctor
eagerly, and then he stopped suddenly.
But. no; Stanwood said he did not
strike match, and Ralph Benton said
his father did not smoke
The murderer does, though, and
paused to light cigar after he had
fired revolver within 900 yards of q
house full Of men and women" said
Hendricks, with a dry laugh. "At
least, that's about all the exclamation /
can get out of the end Of the match.
However. there is one thing you have
not yet thought of as an explanation
for the match having burned down so
short. .
What is that?''
Il wonder it did not occur to you
that it might havecontinued to burn on
the ground after it fell from the hand
OF the man who struck it,
