CHAPTER XIII.

THE FOUNTAINS OF THE DEEP.
Macpherson's trial was set for the
October term of court. and was not
without the hope of being able to go
to the fort in term time to appear
for him. The case was not as simple
as it seemed. Wykamp's evidence
would be difficult to set aside; and
only those who knew Macpherson
would be able to escape the suspicion
which pointed naturally to the man
whom the land company's scheme
would dispossess. There were two or
three ways to clear Angus, but Just
how to do it without duplicating Sell
ter was a problem. AS a last resort,
/ determined to bring the Tennessee
an to book; and this determination
was clinched when Setter refused to
come to the rescue of his own mo-
tion. / put it to him conditionally
asking him if he would make a depo-
sition and take his chances of escape
if it should become necessary to save
Mac from paying the penalty in his
stead.

a man to do that ther', would We, Mr.

| said yes, and did not urge him,
but / made out my case for Angus
with a ruthless alternative in reserve.
If | couldn't clear him without involv-
ing Setter, the Tenne esseean should
pay the price.

do they minister to the spiritual and

and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a neverfailing safeguard.

THINGS BETTER LEFT UNSAID.
Said with the Best Intentions, But So
AwkardIy as to Give a Wrong
Impression.

Under the caption, ''The Art of Putting
Things" an English author has given some
very amusing examples of saying things in a
queer way. One of the most unfortunate
recorded attempts to escape from CONVEX
sational difficulty was made by an East end
curate, who cultivated the friendship of
mechanics.
One day carpenter came to him and
said: Il have brought my boys likeness,
as you said you'd like to have it."
"How good of you to remember" said
the curate. What a capital likeness! How
is he?"
"Why, sir, don't you remember?" said
the carpenter. Hes dead"
"Oh, yes, of course know that replied
the curate. 81 mean how's the man that
took the photograph"
A story is told of a young laborer who, on
his way to his days work, called at the
registrars Office to register his father
death. When the official asked the date of
the event, the son replied:
"He amt dead yet, but he'll be dead be-
fore night, so l thought it would save me
another journey if you would put it down
now"
"Oh, but that won't do at ALL" said the
registrar. Perhaps your father will live
till tomorrow"
"Well, 1 don't know, sir; the doctor says
as he wont; and he knows what he has
given him"

A Money-Makinr Machine.

er gives out and is perfectly reliable.
The machine can take ten bushels of
corn and put them into the room that
one bushel will require. Take good
hog and fill him with corn and fatten
him. Seven pounds of corn will make
one pound of fat, and that pound
worth many times seven pounds OF
corn. The hog is a condenser of
freight rates. Ship him to England
and the freight on him would be
much less than on the corn it took
to fatten him, and he will bring sew
eral times the amount of money!

would have to work two hours or more
to feed them all, carrying feed to each
pen and removing snowdrifts or ice
from the troughs before feeding. The
stable is cleaned twice or three times
a week except when feeding corn
heavily, when it is cleaned every day
on account of the corncobs. The hogs
in winter are always in the house, go
ing back to their pen when let out.
In my hog house I have lost but two
pigs by thumps since 1897. The tank
on cooker can be removed and made
a regular stove, and, when it is cold,
a good hot fire is made from chunks
of knotty wood, which cannot be
worked up for the kitchen stove. If
the little doors are made six by eight
inches the little pigs will come out and
run back and forth in the alleys, as in
summer. In the cooking room have
a shallow trough two inches deep, ten
inches wide, four to six feet long. In
this is put some cooked whole wheat
and cracked corn made up for the pigs.
In one end is a cross cleat about II
inches from the end of the trough. In
this end some dry earth is put for the
pigs to dig and exercise in; earth
from the fall blowing of sod is best.
This will have to be put in more than
once, as they will have it dug out sew
eral times a day. After their exer-
else, when it begins to get cool, they
will crawl under the cooker and Ii"
around the side of it sound asleep.
1 have my pigs narrowed in winter,
about February; January is too early,
as the pigs are too large and want
more room. I plan to have as many
farrow at one time as possible; then
there is less trouble in dividing them
for feeding in pens, and an early pig
can be shipped for breeding much
earlier than a late one. l use feed

small enough.
My hog house is 40 feet in diameter,
sides ten feet long and six feet six
inches high to ceiling. The rafters
from each corner run to the center.
and those between are spiked on to the
main rafter. There is ventilator 16
inches square in center, Slated on
four sides to keep rain and snow out
and to let out steam, etc., which may
gather. A large trapdoor is directly
over the cooker. 1t is opened when
water is taken from the tank and all
steam goes out direct. After the
water handling is done the trapdoor
is closed up and all heat is kept in.

COOKING STOCK FOOD.
Their Are Two Sides to This q ton
But balance of Evidence Is
in Favor of 1t.

Every farmer that wishes to care
for his animals in the best way
should have utensils for the heating
of water and cooking feed for stock.
By this we do not mean to say that
it will pay to cook all kinds of feed
or any one kind for all purposes, but
there are many times and conditions
when such apparatus can be used.
We cook food for human beings for
several reasons. One of these objects
is to kill disease germs in the food.
Cooking food for animals has ten
dency in the same direction. 1t costs
something for fuel, but this cost is
very largely offset by the benefits
derived from conveying heat to the
animal bodies and thus saving the ex-
pense of carbonaceous materials. 1t
is cheaper to provide heat out of coal
or wood than make it out of the It's
sues of the animal body. The com
fort of the animals in the coolest
days of winter is greatly increased
by the warming of the drinking wa
ter and the cooking of part of the
feed. The comfort of our farm ami
mails has a commercial value to us
1t has something to do with thrift
ness in the stock, and this increases
the possibilities of profitable FEED
ing. One of the great advantages in
the cooking of feed for stock is be-
ing able to use for feed some classes
of farm products that could not 9th
erwise be so used. Some farmers
find it advisable to cook their peta
toes for stock, mixing them with
meal and ground oats. The boiling
of sugar beets for dairy cows pre-
cipitates the bitter principle tina;
sometimes affects the milk. Too OF
ten the argument for and against
the cooking of food for stock ha;
been based on the increased or de
creased digestibility of the feed, ano
it has been asserted that the in
creased digestibility does not pay the
cost of cooking. To some extent thai
is true, especially with certain
classes of feed, but there are Other
advantages to be gained that certain
ly do make it advisable to cook some
of the feed during considerable
part of the year.-Farmers' Review.

condiments I'm stock Ration.

Condiments in the feeding of bull
locks have been found by actual tests
made in Europe to be of but little
value. Molasses gave the best results
of any, but was apt to bring on a
looseness which could be checked only
by reducing the quantity given. A
quarter of pound day was found to
be all bullock could take. 1t has not
been proved that the condiment en-
ables the bullock to consume more
bulky food, like straw and hay chaff.
Bullocks fed with molasses were adj
judged ready for the market sooner
than the others, but their carcasses
yielded the least meat and brought the
least returns.
