CHAPTER XVII.
CONCLUSION.

Joe Tarbox proved a true prophet.
Hank Bowers and his companions spent
the forenoon trying to pass the WOOD,
and then the leader said:
1T amt no use goin' any farther this
way. We might as well go back ter
their trail. Them fool has gone ter
Dyea as fast as their feet kin take 'em
ter try an find us. Come n
He wheeled his horse as che spoke,
and the others followed his example.
The sun was below the horizon when
the tired animals once more entered
the track they had left that morning.
and Bowers hurried his along, remark
ing:
1--WE might as well git along ter Their
old hut agin an camp ternight. It'll
save the bother O. stickin' out our tent
an cuttin' beds. Stir up those crit
ters!''
Half an hour later they a reached
the spot where they left their prison
ers. It was deserted, and Bowers
chuckled with satisfaction as he said:
Think of 'em trampin' fer all they're
wuth an we with all their stuff"
AS he spoke he ~dismounted, and
added:
"we'N hev ter lead these critters in
ter Their bush with US afore we unpack
'em. We must put all Their dust in the
hut with us. 1 don't take no chances.
Well stan a watch, too
After some trouble the horses were
led to the hut. the gold unloaded and
placed within. Then Bowers threw
himself on the pile Of boughs, saying:
Come on, Turner, let's warm our
eyes. I'm too sleepy ter eat. Rider,
you keep watch fer awhile, an then
wake one O. us up"
Almost as he spoke he dropped asleep,
an example promptly followed by Tur-

ing. Neither man had slept the night
before and soon his head began to
droop.
Finding it impossible to keep awake
in his position, he arose and paced
slowly up and down in front Of the hut
as he q been accustomed to do on
s%hipboard.
He did not see a dark form which
drew nearer each time his back was
turned.
Closer and closer it crept Until it
reached a tree at the end of his route.
The next time he turned his back to it
he was seized by the throat from be-
hind with a grip which completely shut
off his breath, while q stern whisper
sounded in his
Make a sound and I'll kill you like a
dog!'
Obed Rider made no attempt to
struggle after the first Involuntary
start of surprise. The cold rim of steel
pressed against his ear was too strong
an argument, in addition to the viselike
grip on his windpipe.
The latter was lcosencd when he
ceased struggling and the voice wis
pered:
Come with me quietly. or it'll be the
worse for you'll

tein feeds to buy, n If used judicious-
ly with the grains and roughage raised
on the farm one will have a fairly well
balanced ration. 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that when concentrat-
ed foods are given, such as the gluten
meal, the cows must have plenty of
water and plenty of exercise else the
ood becomes a stimulent simply, and
while the milk flow will be rich and
heavy the animal will suffer under the
action of the rich o and be suscept-
ible to disease. Too much stress can
not be laid on the Importance of winter
exercise for cows, even when they do
not have a great deal Of concentrated
feed. The stables should be warm and
comfortable as a matter OF course, but
they should be well ventilated and
the COWS should be given a matter of
an hour or two out of doors daily when
the weather is not stormy. and a chance
to exercise under cover e the
weather is bad.
Avoid Grain Mixture for Poultry.
There is a vast quantity Of mixed
seeds on the market most of which Is
of little value even compared with its
rather low cost. As a rule, some por-
ton of 1t consists Of mill sweeDings.
and naturally contains considerable
dust. While there Is no objection to
the warm mash there Is a decided OBJ
lection to this mixed grain ration. The
novice may claim that he Is giving his
fowls a mixed ration in this manner,
and doing 1t at much less expense than
by feeding the grains singly. This Is
true, but on the other hand the fowls
are not getting the benefit Of the grain
by this sort Of feeding, nor are they
getting the quality they get when the
grains are fed separately as advised.
Feed corn n day. wheat the next, oats
the next. rye or barley the next. and
then wheat again: or, II desired, have
only three grains in the ration, corn,
oats and wheat. Feed. also. each day,
some green food. some meat or fresh
ground bone. a mash Of bran with a
little corn meal and, occasionally. a
little oil meal, and the ems will have a
ration that will keep them in good con-
dition and enable them to turn out
the eggs If other conditions are as they
should be.
painties for Hogs.
One of our correspondents. who has
been very successful in raising hogs of
the bacon variety for market writes
that. he makes 1t a practice to haul In
during the late fall and at any time
during the winter he car cut it, all OF
the old sod he ear get. This sod is
stored In a shed and twice a week It Is
placed in a clean corne Of the hog pen
in quantities 30 that each animal will
have a piece a foot square This man
/ also burns corn cobs when he has them,
making charcoal for the benefit Of the
hogs. Both Of these plans are good TO,
something Of the kind is required to
keep up the tone Of the stomach and
keep the hogs in good growing condition
and this Is especially applicable to hogs
4 that are largely corn fed. If this sug-
gestion was generally followed there
would be little Or no eating OF the
young by sows which in some sections
occurs yearly.

Buying Feed for Stock.

It does no follow that because one
raises a large quantity of certain
grains on his farm that they should be
fed to stock exclusively. It frequently
pays to sell some of this grain and to
buy some other, If for no other reason
in order to get the desired variety. As
i rule the farm raised grains and fod-
der are deficient in protein. so 1t al
ways pays to buy feed that will fur

RUBBER BANDS,
They Are Largely Taking the Place of
String.

From the Philadelphia Press
The elastic band Is gradually superseding
string. The use of the handy rubber
article has been growing steadily for the
past few years, and this seasons sale is
expected to break all records. The price
has been lowered, on account of increased
facility OF production. and now, for fasten-
Ing small packages the bands save money
