they have to say. Be quick about it, too;
Go you see that water crowding up on
us?"
The waves of the rushing flood Tapped
the shore in soft pounding that was
as insidious and as sure as an epidemic.
The fireman shook himself and began
shoveling coal into the furnace mouth.
Moore touched cock here and there; a
squirt of boiling water from one, a sizz
of steam from another, and he looked
satisfied with the signs.
Shake her up, Dick" he urged. I'VE
have got steam enough to go on, but
we've got to have enough to go like
blazes. There's business ahead"
The conductor returned in a short
time reporting that the passengers were
unanimously in favor of taking all
chances and make a rush for safety.
Now, Moore" said the conductor,
''it's up to you to get us out of this.
Maybe you can't do it, and We'll have
to go down together, or swim for it..
You've got to let her go for all she's
worth and get there or bust. Are you
ready?"
"All aboard" Moore sang out cheer
fully for answer, but with a firmness
showing he had the best courage of
his class, and their courage is of the
kind that is even better than that of
soldiers.
The engine was fairly humming now,
and the steam was Sizing out of her,
hot and dry; insistent upon having its
energies exerted to the utmost.
I'm ready If you are" cried Long,
slammlng the doors of the furnace,
whose fires roared like the coming of
storm.
Moore took a long look ahead, and
swept his eyes around the waters that
were closing in On him. He tried his
valves and cocks and saw that every
thing was in good shape, and with a
word to his cab mate he slowly opened
the throttle for the race before him.
The engine responded to the impulse

said the conductor, pointing to the rising
tide creeping up the embankment to
where the engine stood. I'm mighty
little while it will be over this track,
and the Lord only knows how high it
will get or what will happen to the fill
with all that water piling up against
it, and more coming every minute. Fifty
feet of the fill has been eaten away since
the break took place back yonder and
it is dropping like grass before fire.
"We've got to get out of this said
Moore decisively. Shake up the fire,
Dick"
But how?" asked the conductor.
I'VE have hundred passengers aboard,
and we can't risk their lives, can we?"
do you want to drown them right
here in the coaches like rats in cage?'
inquired Moore.
"Of course not"
"Then what are you going to do? Give
them wings? OF course you are not.
The way is open before us as far as we
can see, and we've got to run for it and
trust to Providence not to get shut off.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

DEVELOPING THE BOAR.

+. d. Spaulding, at a meeting of
Kansas Swine Breeders, said: AT
weaving time the boar pigs should be
separated from the gifts, and, If posi-
BILE, put into a pasture with plenty of
water. shade and grass. This pasture
should be away from any other lot or
pasture where other hogs run. 1t
would be better to have all the pigs
In lot than to have them In adjoin-
ing pastures. By being together they
become acquainted, but If separated by
4 fence they will fight through 1t. be.
come restless, stop eating, and 90 to
fretting or roofing. When they get to
that state. the 1ly thing to do is TO
put them into a small pen, each one
separate from others, where they can
not see or hear other hogs. After
pigs have been running together it is
a bad plan to put other pigs into the
same lot; it will always stir up the
whole drove. AS to feed, the pasture.
if OF clover or blue grass. will form n
large part of their r~ations, no matter
what you may give them. Corn is
the grain most used in this or any
other corn-prcducing country. and
when used with grass aud oats. and
shorts and milk. makes the ideal feed
for pigs. With these a breeder can
raise his boar pigs so they will be use
full to the buyer.

HOG PASTURES IN THE SOUTH.
Gerald Mccarthy of North Carolina
Experiment Station Tells How
to Make Them.

In many parts Of the South cotton
has, ON account of the almost total dis
appearance of vegetable matter from
the soil, ceased to yield satisfactory
crops of lint. In some neighborhOods
a soil or root parasite has lately at
tackled the crop and threatens to make
it impossible to grow cotton on such
fields. What to do with fields which
can no longer grow cotton is a serious
problem.
Very few cotton farmers grow the
bacon consumed by themselves and
their hands. Still fewer grow the for
age required by their stock. A natural
and promising use for such sick cotton
fields is to turn them into pastures for
hogs, mules and other stock. Cotton
is commonly grown upon light. sandy
loan. Such soil in the hot and
droughty climate of the cotton region
teemed in the North. But in Bermuda
grass the Southern farmer has a per-
ennial grass of the best quality and
n that will grow upon any soil that
will grow cotton. With Bermuda grass
for summer and crimson clover for
winter pasture, the Southern farmer
may have an all-the-year-round pas
ture that should cary ten medium
weight pigs all the time.
In the United States Forth of FlOri-
da, Bermuda grass does not bear seed.
The grass is propagated by root cut
tings. Three barrels of these will
plant one acre. The grass is so COM
mon along roadsides that the roots can
usually be had for the gathering. A
Bermuda pasture may be set at any
time Of the year. But early spring is
best. The field should be furrowed at
about five feet apart and the root cut
tings dropped into the burrows and
covered two or three inches deep. A
little white clover and Bokhara clover
seed planted at the same time will give
an agreeable variety TO the pasture.
The field should lot be pastured until
the grass has ruN through the vacant
spaces. IL the land is very poor. nj
trate Of soda at the rate of 100 pounds
per acre should be applied at time of
setting the grass, or as soOn as growth
begins. In any case an abundant SUP
ply OF lime. potash and phOsphoric acid
must be furnished. All worn cotton
soils in the upland region are deficient

succeed. Potash is best supplied to
such soils in the form of Kainit. A
good fertilizer is Kainit and acid phos-
phate in equal quantities. or the
mixture apply as a top dressing every
spring about 800 pounds per acre.
About September l of each year broad
east upon the Bermuda sod about As
pounds of crimson clover seed In chat
for each acre of pasture. No cover
ings or preparations for the clover
seed are necessary. BY taking stock
on from the pasture March 10 till May
two tons of hay can be harvested.
The pasture herein described NAV be
still further improved for hogs by
.broadcasting upon 1t about one ounce
per acre Of the seeds of parsley. thyme
and s~age-plants of which hogs are
fond. The flavor of these herbs will
give a "gamey' flavor to the meat.

poultry has been improved. the cattle,
horses and sheep raised to a similar
high level. The hog is the 'riser"-the
open door, ii You please. that makes
improved stock farming easily pos
sible.
In this connection, consider for q
moment the fact that this Southwest
ern country, including Texas, New
Mexico and Indian Territory. is the
natural home of the hog. In the lower
portion of this region. the wild hog or
Mexican Javelin is still at home. Why
does not this wild hog exist in other
sparsely settled sections Of the United
Stefes? Because health conditions are
MOI so favorable. In this Southwest
country the dry soils do not produce
the numerous worms such as are found
North and East. that soon reach the
intestines Of the hog. where they are Il
prolific cause of disease. The streams
of running water to be found in this
region are purer than those Of other
sections because derived from springs.
Consider again the fact that under
domestication the hog thrivcs best up.
on the small farms of 40 to 100 acres.
such as you have entered here in Ok
lahoma. Add to these facts the busy
packeries at Fort Worth which depend
more largely upon Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory for hogs than upon
Texas grown stock. and we have an
argument that will justify this Organi-
zation in requesting the State Board Of
Agriculture to make the hog a matter
Of consideration at each farmers In
stitute TO be held during the coming
year under the direction of the secre-
tary Of the hoard.
Take up the question of feeds for
the hog, the deslrability Of using i'm
proved stock, the necessity of contin-
lot feeding either upon grazing crops
or grain. By your discussions make
the growth of grazing crops for hogs
easy and the improved hog will follow
as a matter of our You do not
need to be pointed to the great market

Walsh Is to be credited with the showing

The bout was clearly Sullivan's. and at
only one stage of the contest did Walsh

The ninth round was the only one in
which Walsh seemed to have any show at

be called his. He jabbed at Sullivan and
forced him to the ropes, but his strength
could not hold out, and Sullivan held his
hands to his head and face and warded off
the blows. This action of Walsh's brought
the spectators to their feet.

From the tenth round on Sullivan was

DOMESTIC TEA CROP.

The fascinating experiments long

of the Department of Agriculture,
show further progress. In spite Of the
fact that the past summer was n very
unsatisfactory N for a number OF
reasons, the yield Of tea Appropriated

carried on quite successfully in the
preparation of tea tablets, a firm col

in boiling water. The Department OF
Agriculture will next year extend the
work of tea culture at Pierce. Tex.
and is making preparations to put out
at least fifty acres of tea the present
autumn to be extended eventually to
100 acres or more. The labor question
will always play an important part in
tea culture.
