CHAPTER XVII.
THE WRITING OF KuNe


For long time after this neither Of
us spoke, for we feared that some one
might be listening, and pride forbade a
display either Of fear or Of regret. We
had staked, and we had lost. and now
the end was come. But deeply morti-
flying was the thought that we had
walked SO easily into the trap. Before
setting out we had duly calculated the
chances Of success and defeat, and
even with the latter staring us full in
the face we had hoped to go under
fighting. But to be cooped, chained in
this manner, with no ultimate hope OF
escape or fight plunged us into the ut
most depths of dependency. 1t was
our own fault. Well, does that knowl-
edge make misfortune any easier to
bear?
With a refinement Of cruelty thor.
oughly Chinese we were so triced III
that it was impossible to move the
head either way for more than foot
or two without experiencing a bite
from the sharp teeth Of the collar. To
sit down, to kneel, to rest ever 50
slightly, was utterly out Of the ques
ton, and, what is more, knew that II
my strength failed me and tainted or
otherwise sank exhausted should suf-
fer a most horrible death from stran-
gulation.
What was tile intention Of our enc
mics of course we knew not, but after
enduring for some hours the agony Of
this most trying position two men en-
tered with light and making direct
for Jim urfastened his chain and leo
him away by the collar as one would
lead dog.
Il don't know what this means, lad"
he said, "bht If it's the end, goodby.
You forgive me?'
"There is nothing to forgive"
"Much-much,' he muttered broken
~. And then as they dragged him
through the door 1 heard him gasp a
last God bless you"
Then was alone once more with my
thoughts, and the gloom seemed to
have taken to itself gloomier hue,
while the awful stiffness grew more
profound. The presence Of Jim, even
though l could not see him, had some
thinJ of the nature Of consolation. l
could speak, l could hear him speak,
and, though the little we had to say
was full of slc sadness Of death, II was
good to hear the sound Of a voice l
loved.
For full hour or more they left me
thus alone. and gradually my brain
was beginning to wander, my limbs to
refuse the task allotted them Of sup
porting me. Visions Of strangulation
and the sharp cutting of iron teeth into
soft flesh began to haunt me, when Of
sudden the same two coolies who
had dragged Jim off entered the cham
Dor. Without speaking to me or to
each other one of the men cut the
bonds which held my arms, while the
other loosened the collar chain, thus
allowing me to collapse upon the floor.
Then they placed water and food with
in my reach and without a word de-
parted as silently as they had come.
For the first few minutes joyous
stupefaction was mine. for had fully
believed that the intention Of Kung
was to have me stand there until my
legs absolutely refused longer to fulfill
their functions, when strangulation
would of necessity ensue. But this

Prof r. H. Forbes. Of the Arizona
Experiment Station. has this to say Of
the fertillzing value Of river water;
The alluyial silts which are always
carried. in greater OF less quantity. IN
river waters. although they detraet
from their agreeableness. are second
in irrigating value only to the water
itself. In wild country, undisturbed BY
the operations OF man. and still COW
cred with its natural vegetation, the
quantity Of silt contributed to running
streams is comparatively small, and
consists largely Of materials eroded
from sleeper slopes. But when forests
and grassy plains are overrun with
sheep and cattle, when the grasses are
destroyed and the surface Is ground to
powder by trampling herds, when the
rainfall begins to gully the depleted
range and carry the debris into the
rivers. the quantity Of mud carried In
irrigating streams becomes very much
greater. Its quality. also must be af-
fected by the stock-manure swept into
the drainage from the surface Of the
ranges.
Now. just as the deposit Of mud re-
sulting from the annual overflow Of the
Nile accounts for the fertility Of the
Egyptian lowlands; so do the rich silta
deposited upon irrigated lands in Ari-
zona account. in large part, for theiI
constantly increasing productiveness
The two most valuable constituents ol
our river silts are nitrogen and organ
ic matter. being precisely the elements
Of fertility deficient Ia our burned-oui
arid region soils. The addition and in.
corporation Of these deficient materials
is largely responsible for the well
known improvement by irrigation o
desert lands.
The fertilizlng value OF these rive
silts to an irrigated district may b.
judged when It Is stated that. for tn
year ending August /, 1900. the nut
deposited on the irrigated lands Of Sal
river valley. valued at commercia
rates for fertilizers. amounted to abou
one million dollars, or, not far fr0u
eight dollars per acre for the valley
Considered as an investment. thi
eight dollars Of value, which is disre
garded In the cost Of the water return
with increase IN the resulting crops.

Young animals VIII give more gain
for the same amount Of feed than viii
older animals. There Is no advantage
in farmers carrying along their ami
mah with just enough feed to keep
them alive. It is.not wise to have the
hogs on scant feed either summer or
winter. swill and milk viii not work
well with silage, that combination
making an unbalanced ration. During
the winter season some Of our best
feeders make corn One-third to one
half Of the ration. using swill with
ground peas and oats for the balance
OF the ration. One feeder that we
know OF makes his svsll Of milk and
middlings. making a thin mixture. Into
a barrel Of this is thrown a shoyelful
Of hardwood ashes.
