Feeding Apples TO Stock.
A correspondent asks for an opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of feeding
apples to farm stock of various kinds
There can be no possible objection to
1t, provided the feeding is done in con-
nection with the other ratons. A large
orchardist living near the writer stores
all his cider apples for feeding to his
stock, as long as they last. In feed
Ing to horses and COWS his plan IS to
cut up several quarts of the apple into
small pieces and mix grain with them.
In feeding to hogs, sweet apples only
are used for this purpose. They are
fed whole or, If large, cut in half. For
poultry they are chopped fine and well
mixed with bran, and sometimes with
wheat, the feeding being done in a
trough, so that there will be little
waste. AS a matter of fact, unless
there is a silo on the farm, our animals
get too little green food and oftentimes
the surplus apples and potatoes, as
we'll as other vegetables, can be used to
better advantage in feeding stock than
In any other way.

At the sight of the ore. and of the
dull gloss of the nugget, wonderful
transformation took place in John
Hawkins. He gazed at the ore with
the r3pt look of an enthusiast. The
weight of the nugget told its own
story.

CHAPTER XIV.
Success and Failure.


David Parkers report on the Sailor
Mine was submitted to Mr.. Hawkins
ten days later. and it more than CON
firmed the statements made by John
Burt. Upon receipt of it, the mag
nate proceeded to the mine with Burt
and Parker, taking several miners An
whom he had absolute confidence.
New claims were located on the moun-
tain-side. and in the valley below sn
anticipation of possible placer de-
posits.
Jim Blake was delighted when In
formed of Johns progress. Hope
you make millions, and am betting
you will" said Jim as they shock
hands and separated.
Mr.. Hawkins. David Parker and
John Burt spent three nights in the
cramped quarters of the log cabin,
and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
On their return to San Francisco
formal agreement was signed, and
John Burt and John Hawkins became
partners in the Sailor Mine and in
the scores of claims surrounding it.
For eighteen months John directed
the efforts of an army of men, swarm
ing like ants on the mountain-side. A
village sprang up in the valley and
clustered about the stamp mills of
Hawkins 4; Company. Churches,
gambling houses. stores and saloons
contended for patronage. Thousands
of claims were staked out; but nature
had ceased from her gold sowing
when she finished the broad layers of
the Sailor Mine and its outcroppings.
The mines produced eight hundred
thousand dollars in gold the first year
After deducting Blake's price, Johns
share in the profits was more than
hundred Thousand. His dividends in

the following six months were three
hundred thousand. Following Mr.
Hawkins advice, he so invested his
profits as to become a millionaire be-
fore he had been in California two
years.
Having placed the mining property
on permanent footing. and in charge
of competent managers and superiIi-
tendents, he transferred his head
quarters to San Francisco. He stiH
made periodical visits to the mineE.
where he had an office in the old log
cabin; orders having been issued net
to destroy it under any circumstances
When Jim Blake received his frat
instalment of hundred thousand dot
lars, he gave a dinner in John Burt's
honor in the Occidental Hotel. Twen-
ty guests were present. This social
junction cost Blake thousand dO:-
lars. and ten days after the feast he
was without a dollar.

John Burt. Il plunged on Robert EN-
met. and, they trimmed me-"
John advanced Jim ten thousand
dollars. and gave him advice which
was worth more than the money.
Blake followed the advice for a
month. When his second instalment
was due. he had drawn SO heavily
against John that he had balance of
only forty-five thousand. Two months
after he had received a check for the
final payment, which terminated his
original property rights in the mines.

tai assets did not exceed five thou
