''Thus then do l ask you to give me
back your love-" he said gently-and
would have said, more but that she
turned, stirred to kind of generous
shame.
1T needs not that, lord! know
you did not mean it. And they have
told me that-that have no right to
be angry with you" She broke off,
as looking into his face she saw some
thing that startled her into forgetful-
ness of all else. why are your cheeks
so hollow" she demanded. "And so
gray-as though you had lost blool?
Lord, what has come near your"
He could not conceal the sudden
pleasure he got out of her alarm for
him, even while he answered as light
ly as he could that it was no more
than the fatigue of his three days in
the saddle; and lack of food, per-

But she was warriors daughter,
and she would not be put off. Coming
close to him, she pulled aside the
dusty cloak, hot as live coal in the
glare of the day, and there-behold!-
there were blood stains on the breast
of his blue kirtle. Forgetful of every
thing else, she flung her arms around
him as though to shield him. "Sebert,
you are wounded What is it?"
Nothing that troubled him very
much, apparently, for his haggard face
had grown radiant with gladness. Yet
he was enough afraid of the reaction
to answer her as gravely -as possible:

met coming from the city as was

Northampton. Little affection has
ever passed between us, and this time

Which Even Auto Drivers Must Re-

The House has just passed local
bill aimed at the autocratic auto owner
which, while it has local application
only, will have moral effect upon the
balance of the state, and other counties
will ask like protection. 1t prohibits
automobiles, locomobiles and motor
cycles from running at higher speed
than twenty miles an hour In that
county, and provides that when an au-
tomobile OF other similar vehicle ap-
proaehes horse or mule, it shall i'm
mediately shut { IF its machinery and
come to full stop within one hundred
yards of such horse or mule drawn We
hicle. When an automobile approaches
horse or mule from behind Its whistle
or gong must be sounded within one
hundred yards of such vehicle, and it
must slacken It's speed. If an automo-
bile approaches horse OR mule that is
hitched, ample warning must be given
the owner in order that he may get the
animal IN place of safety. Violations
of this law are made misdemeanors.

An illustration of the arithmetical
fact that zone into four goes four, -
was given yesterday when an Ameri-
Gus man went to Muckalee to look after
his sethooks, and from one line pulled
up an old dominecker catfish of huge
outlines. In exploring the interior de-
partment of the ''cat" he found a trout;
inside the trout was~a large perch, while
within the depths of the perch was a
smaller fish and the hook. The small
fish, which may be designated sex
hibit A, first swallowed the hook and
in turn was swallowed by the perch,
the trout next taking all three, while
the catfish did the rest.

TELLS FARMERS HOLD COTTON
BY Method Better Prices for Staple
Predicted.


Dozens of farmers sold cotton in
Amerious the past spring at the very
top prices, having had the foresight to
hold on to it until values went higher.
And now Hon Harvie Jordan, president
of the cotton growers association, has
written very strong letter to the
growers in North Carolina, urging them
to put their cotton IN warehouses and
to draw upon it if needed; also not to
market more than q tenth of their crop
at once. He say that by this means
the prices can be kept around u cents,
while if there is no system the specula-
tors. aided by mill men, will keep the
prices down around cents, until the
bulk of the crop is marketed.

Mesrs. Editors: How much there is to learn
about stock raising! The art of breeding an ami
NAL properly is a rare gift. Only the few can do
this. Once the animal is produced. the next
question is proper feeding and care. This is
easy. Anybody can feed a pig. Yes, anybody
can pour corn into the pigs trough. But is this
feeding the pig? I have learned several things
about the proper feeding of pigs, and this makes
me keen to learn more. [ have fifty young pigs
and forty-seven of them are the best lot [ have
ever had. But what is the trouble with the three?
Well, the hair does not look oily and the eye is
not keen and dancing.
But it is something to feed fifty pigs two
months and keep all but three of them keen and
eager.
It seems to me there are three custom that con-
front Berkshire breeders:
1. How to breed the pig?
2. How to keep him we'll and keep for the fray?
3. How to get the most pounds in the shortest
time at the lowest cost?
I should be glad if the old breeders would tell
US how they bred the best pig they ever raised.
I should be more grateful if the best herdsman
in the State would tell us how he cares for his
Berkshires.
I should be most grateful if the best feeder in
the State would tell us how to get the weight in
our hogs.
Now is the time when we are all feeding hogs.
l am satisfied that much feeding is done unprof-
itably. H.. H. WILLIAMS.

Sheep Feeding In Nebraska.
Iredell Co., N. G.

In a recent experiment, ten lots of lambs were
fed. Alfalfa and sorghum hay were used as
roughness, four lots being fed on sorghum and
six lots on alfalfa hay. Three lots had a shed
with protected yard attached, while seven lots
had open yards with slight protection from a low
shed som twenty-five feet to the north.
The lambs with shelter weighed an average of
about Sc pounds each at the beginning of the ex-
pertinent, while those in the open yards were
slightly larger, weighing 81 pounds average.
Of the six lots on alfalfa, three were under
shelter and three were in open yards, each lot un-
der shelter being duplicated by a lot in the open
yard.
Three different grain rations were fed to the
lambs on alfalfa. Lots 1 and 4 received alfalfa
and corn. Lots 2 and 5 received alfalfa and a
grain ration of three-fourths corn and one-fourth
oats. Lots 3 and 6 received alfalfa and a grain
ration of three-fourths corn and one-fourth bran.
Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, were fed sorghum hay and
the following grain rations: Lot Z received sor-
ghum hay and corn. Lot 8 received sorghum hay
and three-fourths corn with one-fourth oats. Lot
8 received sorghum hay and three-fourths corn
with one-fourth bran. Lot 10 received sorghum
hay and fve-sixths corn with one-sixth oil meal.
The three lots under heller on alfalfa and a
grain ration made an average gain of 34.3 pounds
in SO days.
The three lots under shelter on alfalfa and a
grain ration made an average gain of 1872 pounds
in SO days.
The three lots in open yards on sorghum hay
and grain rations containing corn, oats and bran,
made an average gain of POI pounds in SO days.
The one lot in open yard on sorghum hay and
corn with one-sixth oil meal gained 26.7 pounds
in SO days.
The six lots on alfalfa and grain made an aver
age profit of $O.72 per head.
The three lots on sorghum hay, corn, oats and
bran made an average profit of $O.31 per head.
The one lot on sorghum hay and fve-sixths
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-22

corn with one-sixth oil meal made an average gain
of $O.38 per head.
The season was favorable for grains, but the
price of $500 per 100 at which the lambs sold
made the profit small.

Age for Mating Swine.

Subscribers in Norfolk, Va, and Greensboro,
n. c., ask at what age a boar should begin to be
used in service to obtain best results, and at what
of the SOW and for the best and largest pigs.
If you want to get the largest size possible in
your boar and SOW Individually do not use them
till we'll on to maturity, or at least till they are
a year old. This gives you a chance to get a large
growth on either before being put to breeding and
will in the case of the SOW make her about six
teen months of age before she farrows. If we'll
fed and properly cared for she should be a SOW
of $50 to $50 pounds and should farrow a litter
of very strong pigs and of good size. The boar
might, to be sure that he was a prompt server, be
used to a SOW or two as early as six to eight
months, as sometimes when a boar is we'll fed and
pushed to get a large growth and has never had
a SOW till a year old he will refuse to serve at
first, and you might think him a failure. Pa
thence is generally needed in commencing to use
a young boar. After once used he is generally all
right and if so the older, up to a year, before Civ
ing him much service the better. You will, how
ever, find that either the SOW or boar will pro-
duce a better litter the second time than the first,
and if the SOW proves a good breeder and sucker
