would call him out, but he wouldn't go.
He was an old warrior, and knew pretty
well how to count the cost of an engage
ment and form correct judgment Of
the mettle of his foe, and he felt sure
that Miss Rose was gritty enough to I'M
dertake to whip hin, in which case he
would catch the stick, break it, throw
the fragments over her head, and, in
short, assume so offensive an attitude
that she would be glad to retire to her
desk and leave him master of the field.
This was to be the programme. 1t
was all to be done without real violence
and let Jack Parker catch him if he
could.
So, a little while after school had be-
gun that morning, he commenced
throwing spitballs; but Miss Rose, who
was attending to class, seemed entire
ly oblivious of what Norris was doing.
When she had done she walked up
the aisle to do sums" She was at
work a little back of Norris seat, when,
pop! went ball and hit LUCE Smith
on the chin.
At the instant, from some mysterious
fold of Miss Roses dress, flew, long,
tough blue-beech and gave several quick
slashes around the shoulders of Norris
linen coat before he seemed to compre-
bend the situation.
Then he sprang up and caught at
the stick. But the blows came thicker
and faster, first at one point, then at an
other, until the whole whip was worn
up, and he had not succeeded in catch
ing it once.
Norris was defeated, but not con-
quered, and he would get the better of
her yet, as sure as fate, he told the boys
at recess.
So, all day long, while his back
smarted, he pondered some new method
of assault; and, no doubt, Miss Rose
would have been equal to the occasion
had nothing supervened.
But as Norris went home that night,
studying at his problem, with bent
head, he was caught by Jack Parker,
who held him as if in one of his own
vises.
He carried him into his shop, and laid
him across his anvil block.
Hand me the hammer" said Jack to
his man, who was blowing at the bel
lows, that pulled and snorted. and
threw the angry sparks up swapping
and cracking.
Jack turned the boy over on the
block, held both his hands in one of his,
and raised his free arm.
''Hold-hold on, Mr.. Parker!" yelled
Norris. Ell didn't do it. ] never
touched her. But she gin me awful
wallupin'."
Jack hesitated.
tive heard long enough that Norris
Thornton was the worst boy in the
school, and was travelling on as fast as
he could to the gallows. He'd better
die respectable death here, at this
present time, and not be allowed to
walk the earth just for worry and a
nuisance any longer, never doing any
good whatsoever"
Norris twisted his head around and
took sight at Jack. He looked like Q

vessel containing the water so arranged
that they cannot get themselves wet.
You can buy fountains for this purpose
or can make them yourself by placing a
tumbler upside down in an ordinary cot
fee saucer.
After the first feeding they must be
ipclosed under the hover of your brood
er Until the next feeding. Do not neg
lect to do that; it is very important.
Feed often, but little at a time, as they
cannot digest much at a time, and posi-
lively must not be overfed. Overfeed-
ing will produce bowel complaint as
quickly as anything else. They should
be well fed and yet kept a little hungry.
Feed them about four or five times a
day at regular hours, and see that they
all return to their hover after each feed
ing. Scrape up what feed is left, if any,
and throw it away or give it to the pigs
OF your full grown. chickens. Young
chicks must never eat stale feed. They
must be taught to go under hover each
day until they learn what it is for, and
where to 60 when they get cold.
They must also be taught right from
the first to eat everything that is good
for them, like screenings, millet seed,
cracked corn, whole wheat and baked
corn meal cakes pulverized. Wheat and
cracked corn should be their FREEDOM
mating food after the fifth day. After
week or ten days, you may let them
outside the brooder, making them come
in early in the evening, or at any time
during the day should it begin to rain.
Do this for a day or so and they will
have learned to take care of themselves.
Chicks are absolutely ignorant, they
know nothing but what you teach
them. Be sure to keep them in your
mind.
Never keep any more feed before
young chicks, while confined in the
brooder, than they will eat up clean,
but after you let them run outside the
brooder, always keep dry grain food in
the brooder, in little trough, so as to
entice them to return to the brooder,
their only home.
See that their feed trough in the
brooder is full before shutdown.
Chicks must not be overfed.
Chicks must be kept warm.
Chicks must be taught correct habits
in the first days of their youth.
Chicks must have more attention
than wheat or corn.
These rules apply to chickens, ducks
ind turkeys.-Farm and Home.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method

Beef-PrOducinx Cattle,

Range cattle will gradually decrease
in number, and the far west will cease
to have monopoly in beef. Farmers
will find steers profitable if they use
bulls of the beef-producing breeds. The
reason cold storage beef from the west
takes possession of the market is be-
cause farmers give but little attention
to the quality of the animals raised for
beef. With combination Of breed and
feed they can get steers into market a
year earlier, as well as gain so per cent.
