"Put up your pistols, and we will defer

Allan mechanically placed his weapon

Boone approached toward them.
"Mr. lie Bland, what means this?"
"Pantomime, sir: nothing but panto-

concerted by the reproving glances of
the far-famed forester.
Let it end thus, sir, for we want no

The Frenchman redeemed, and for a
moment was embarrassed by the sharp
tones and keen glances of the pioneer.
"As you will, Captain Boone. I yield
to your cooler Judgment" he said at
length.
Boone stood for a few seconds as if
lost in reflection, and then turning alb

ness:
Come with me, young man, to

This honest and open invitation made
Norwood's heart beat with pleasure, for
ho trusted he should again see the fair

MILLIONAIRES OF EARTH.

and South America each have their

In 1916 Moses Y. Beach printed a list
of New York City's rich men. He gave
the names of 1924 possessing 100000

are counted among the rich and there
are 1900 of them in New York City

We are drawing no morals in this ar

think, and think profoundly, when he
learns that there are many very

entire nation, according to Til Shin

holds but AL fortunes of as much as
$250,OOO each, and these are Japan's
richest Our Senator Clarke or Mr.
Flagler could either of them buy out
the entire AL And yet Japan has no
paupers. 1t is a land of people well
drilled, of farms we'll titled, of peck

Russia's rich are lavishly elegant in
their manner of living beyond anything

SUN in Poultry House.

The time-honored plan of building
poultry houses was to face them due
south, when, as matter of fact, they
should be faced southeast, which gives
the sun in the house early in the
morning when the poultry need it most
during the winter, and then the sun
shines in the house nearly or quite all
day, especially if window is placed
in the southwest side. In cold eli
mates it is not wise to have entire
glass fronts, for the action of the air
on the glass after the sun goes down
makes such houses very cold at night.
LII the average poultry house, hold
ill.,. from twenty-five to fifty hens, win
dows four by eight on two sides Of the
house would be sufficiently large, and
even then some way should be pro-
vided for covering them at night For
this purpose nothing is better than old
burlap hung On a roller with button
holes worked at intervals along the
sides SO that when down it can be
fastened over carriage buttons driven
in the sides Of the casing. This will
keep the house snug and warm even
ON cold winter nights.

they can be attached and suspended 10
the side Of the horses head. This does
not give the horse any freedom to
move his head without moving the
bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which overcomes this fault, an illustra-
ton Of which is shown here. The bot
tom and sides are made Of canvas or
other flexible material, while the top
consists of a circular frame divided
into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting the bag
are two metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at the end which fit into
the loops in the frame. In the center
and at the other end Of the rods are
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft of the vehicle. It can
easily be seen how easily this could
be done, the bag always remaining in
position where the horse could con-
veniently reach the feed, at the same
time being able to move his head free
ly. This feed bag has the additional
advantage that it can be folded up
when not in use.

Peanuts Good Hog Feed.

The numerous estimates made by
the Arkansas Station as regards the
yield Of hay from a crop Of peanuts
varies from one to very nearly three
tons per acre. This hay is usually
worth at least $40 ton and may he
considered a by-product when the nuts
are harvested for market. In connec-
ton with the value Of peanuts as a
forage crop, it may be noted that in
Virginia there is a man who has been
accommodating a tidy fortune through
the quality of the hams cured and
packed by him. Those hams have a
rich and sweet flavor which makes
them in great demand at increased
prices. The packer each year goes
through neighboring States buying up
razor backs which he has shipped to
his farm. It is there that they are
given a food which imparts the flavor
and Notwithstanding more than
peanuts.

Work and play for Horses.

Work and Play for Horses.
What the horses of the farm have to
do depends upon the nature of the
work and how we'll used they are TO
it, consequently the horse should be
treated accordingly. If the horses have
heavy spring blowing to do, with more
or less road work in the summer, then
harvesting and more blowing in the
fall, and it is intended to use them for
heavy drafting in the winter, it will
pay to divide the work in some way
so that they will have little chance
for rest. The argument that rainy
days and Sundays are sufficient for
the animals does not hold good in all
cases. In our experience we find it
pays to have reasonably short hours
for the horses, and not to give them
driving every day there happens to be
a little lull in the work Of the farm
We feed strictly in accordance with
the work to be done, and contrive, in
some way, so that every horse will
have turn at the pasture, even though
it be only an hour or two at night. 1t
is not good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without the pasture. Green food cut
and placed in the manger is not tho
same. The open air, the freedom from
the harness, the yielding Of the soft
turf and the biting Of the grass are
essential to horses, and it pays to let
them have a spell at it.

A Barrel Feed Rack.

An ideal way Of feeding few sheep
or calves Is to take large barrel, such
as crackers are packed in, and cut out
openings in the slaves between the
two layers of hoops, making these open
ings just large enough so that the ami
NAL can get it's head in and out read
lily. Place the barrel in position and
hold it in place by driving several
stakes into the ground and fastening
them to the barrel. OF course the top
of the barrel is open. The hay or 9TH
er roughage is thrown in the top and
the animals eat through the holes cut
In the slaves as described. This is a

could make and one which will save

Hog Hints.

1t is, Of course, the most important
factor in hog life, but very close to
it comes the dry house and good, clean
bedding.
1t is too common a conclusion that
anything will do for the hogs and that
they will wax fat under any condi-
tons and with all sorts of feed.
It is taken for granted that they get
enough to eat, because every farmer
knows what it means to feed right,
but feeding is not the whole thing
Hogs, although apparently strong,
are very susceptible to sudden changes
in the weather and once they take cold
fall easy victims to lung troubles,
which often result fatally, and then
when hog meat means money there are
no hogs to sell.
