 The boy had been converted to chirs. tianity by Milo A. Sellon. Methodist missionary. and in burst of religious zeal. denounced the mummeries of the tribal medicine men. This act aroused the anger of the superstitous men of the tribe.
 Recently fourteen native residents oi the village of Kluckwan died of consump' tion, and this spread the belief that thu boy. in league with the Evil One. througf his knowledge of the white mans reiig ion, caused the death.
 The disappearance of the boy iron school aroused the suspicious of MT. Bel lon, and he started in search. At the out skirts of the village he found track' leading to a fresh grave. Digging down he found the boy still alive. his bloodsho' eyes rolling in insane agony; his hall torn in handsful from his head. HI finger nails were torn off in his efforts to escape from his horrible prison.
 The boy was lifted from the grave and carried to the village. where he hvet several hours. howling and crying like maniac, and then dying from the effects of suffering and fright.
 The man who is responsible for thu crime is Skun Doc, an old offender. wht spent. term in San Quentien peniten tiary for causing an old woman to b' starved to death in 1894

The Mon. Pork far ! Dollar.

l do think much can be made on
green food alone. 1t may grow some
bone but very little flesh. To grow
flesh and bone at the same time, the
pig must have grain In some shape.
Alfalfa will make the best gain OF
all green stuff alone, and I make the
claim that grain and green stuff COM
bined will produce more pork than
twice the amount Of grain alone.
It is possible we could get pig
ready for market a little quicker on
grain alone but the cost would be
greater. To get cheap pork, cheap
food must be used. A pig shut up in
a small pen and stuffed with grain
may grow plumper than one that Is
hustling in the field for some cheap
food to help bis grain, but it Is easy
to count without much figuring which
dollar is the best invested, the one
spent on the pig that is not helping
himself, or the dollar spent on the
one that adds another dollar itself.
To sum it up, we must get good
breeding STOCK, good foragers, good
feeders, fast growers, easy fatteners,
and, those that grow to large size;
start them with care, make all the
growth possible on green stuff and
grain combined, get them to market
as early as possible and get as good
prices as possible for them; and then
we may count dollars profit instead Of
dollars lost. In this way we win
surely prosper.-From the Jossraal o.
