ALIKE, YET DIFFER
Careers OF Howard Elliott and L.

Officials.

have become Synonyms for brilliant

plify that hard, concentrated Work,
unanswering obedience to duty, at

loyalty pay, and pay well.
While it is well understood that MIR.
WincheH and MIR. Elliott have won
derfuI aptitude for the intricaces of
railway affairs. it is also recognized
that only by the hardest kind of work
have they been able to score so well
in such short time
From general utility boy in the rail
road shops to the most unique and
one of the most responsible railway
positions in the United States in 50
years is Mr.. Winchelrs record.
From rodman in an engineering

brought in touch. and the finished
product is in his keeping. With him
will rest the responsibility of making
good better, and for doing this he will
receive 900 year.
Both Well Poised.
Both Winchen and Elliott are gift
ed with heads that nothing can rattle.
Ever at their ease and ever able to
grasp any proposition submitted to
them. it is easily understood how
their many friends express no uneasi-
ness in the outcome of either appoint
ment.
Socially, both are delightful com
panions. affable and possessing an uu
limited fund Of appropriate anecdotes
with which to point moral or adorn
a tail, yet eXcelling in the much-de-
sired faculty of being good listeners.
In the comparison of the two men
it is appropriate to close by saying
that the success of no two men in rail
way circles has occasioned so much
favorable comment as has the success
of these.

Wool Prices,

F. E. Warren. president of the Ma
tional Wool Growers Association,
writes the Farmers Review as fol-
lows: This seasons wool clip in
Wyoming was short from fifteen to
twenty per cent, owing to last years
dry summer, and the past hard winter.
Prices have been very fair, and
trfle higher than they were last year:
should say about one cent per pound
higher, on an average. The future as
to the price of wool looks well, be-
cause there is a shortage in sheep
everywhere, not only in this country,
but abroad as well; and the hold-over
supplies of wool have been exhausted,
Wool will be wool before the next
clip is on the market, if l am any
judge Of the situation and prospects.

Cause Of Cattle Mango.

A government bulletin says: Scab-
les, or mango. G. the OK is a
contagious disease caused by para
two varieties of these parasites, which
belong to the class Arachnidae. The
Psoroptes communis var, novis, is the
one which most frequently affects
them. 1t lives on the surface of the
skin and gives rise to great irrita-
ton and itching by biting, and is
most frequent upon the lateral aspect
of the neck and shoulders, at the
base Of the horns, and the root OF the
tail. From these points it spreads to
the back and sides, and may invade
nearly the entire body. Its principal
manifestations are more or less num-
erous pimples, exudations, and abund-
ant scaling off, or desquamation, of
the skin. falling out of the hair, and
the formation of dry gray-brownish
scabs. In the course of time the
skin becomes thickened, stiff, wrin-
kled. and acquires the consistency of
leather. When mango has spread
over d large SuTIuCe OF Lle DOQy, the
animals lose flesh and become weak
and anemic, rendering them constitu-
tionally less able to Withstand or
combat the effects of the mites. At
the same time the decreased vigor
and lessened vitality of the affected
animals favor the more rapid multipli-
cation of the mites and the further ex-
tension and intensification of the dis
ease. Thus we have cause and effect
working together, with the result
that scabies, or mango, in cattle may

Feeding the Dams.

With regard to the grains best suit
ed to the nourishment Of the female
while carrying the young. it is only
necessary to say that these should,
for the most part, be rich in protein.
These foods help to build muscle and
keep the nervous system in a vigor-
Gus condition, and hence the foetus
is more likely to be well nourished,
and be strong and healthy. Carbohy-
drate foods. such as corn meal and
other starchy products. should be
avoided for reasons in opposition to
those already advanced. Foods thus
have a very important influence, not
only on the health OF the dam, but
on the development of a vigorous on
spring. and the nourishment Of the
female should receive more considera-
tion at the hands OF the average
breeder. 1t would not be a difficult
matter to provide an abundance Of the
most useful foods II more care and
forethought were given to the rota-
tion practiced on the farm, and the
benefits accruing to the breeder are
such that he can well afford to adapt
his rotation to the best needs of his
stock. The Importance of nourish-
ment to the dam SO as to produce a
strong, vigorous foetus is not gen.
orally recognized. While the size OF
the foetus is probably controlled by
the dam, its after development de-
pends largely on its proper nourish-
ment before birth, and that the dam
should be literally fed is clearly ap-
parent, for in most instances she is
not only expected to be a productive
factor, either in the field or at the
milk pail, but to provide plenty OF
nourishment for her young as well.
Where an animal is expected to do
double duty the food supplies must
be liberal or else one or both Of these
duties will be inadequately performed
with disastrous results in the case OF
the young. For example, If mare
is overworked, so much of the en-
ergy of the mother is used up that
the foetus necessarily suffers, and so
instead of growing and developing
uniformly and being strong and Wig
orous in every respect. it is perman-
emily stunted and injured, and this
will be evident throughout its whole
life.-Prof. A. M. Soule.

CHAPTER XII
The Earl Is Released.

Next morning. when breakfast was
ended and the table cleared, rystal
was for going on deck.
stop, Jonathan" shouted Pope
My lord, keep your seat" and saving
this he went into his cabin, and in
minute or two returned holding
the crucifix he had taken from the
dead child's breast, sheet of paper,
pot of ink, and quill pen.
Now. my lord" says he, putting
the sheet Of paper and the pen and
ink before the Earl, here are the ma

Thousand two hundred guineas"
What is that crucitix for?" said the
Earl, whose agitation on sudden
was SO extreme that he seemed in
capable of following what was said.
ITO swear you on" says Pope.
The Earl started, shot helpless
look of wrath at Pope, turned slow
and hopeless gaze upon Crystal, then
understanding how absolutely he was
at the mercy of these men, and re-
tlecting that to him his life and lib
erty were quite worth the money
asked for, he wrote. The Earl looked
for a little whilo on the draft as
though considering the wording of it:
he then handed it to Captain Pope.

This money will be paid to you on
demand if am suffered to reach Eng
land that l may acquaint my bankers
with my wishes. do not need that
He seemed to understand on a sud-
den, and passed his hand with a ses-
ture of dignity toward the crucifx.
Pope stood smiling. This speech
touched the chords of his melodramat-
ic nature. He would have been pleased
to respond with light dramatic flour
ish. but could not instantly find ideas.
Now, my lord" says Pope, after
quietly pocketing the draft, then pick
ing up the crucifix, you'll be pleased
to take this in your hand I'd. 80.
| "Why, sir?" answered the Earl,

The Earl saw the temper of resolu

a helpless old gentleman among pi
rates, and he was wise to do their

would be, honored. that no question
would be asked, that the man who re-
