In his hands, and went ON praying.
Jim crawled across the floor, and TAX
ing wire saw from his shoe, began
the task that he had labored SO hard
for many nights. First the saw passed
through the soap that hid the tiny
crack in the bar, then with q stealthy
sound, like the gnawing of a mouse, it
ate into the hard metal. The desperate

glittered on the iron. With click the
saw passed through the bar, and the
sound aroused the white-faced man

NEVER RINGS HIS HOGS.

never used the ring on a hog in all that
time. don't want a ring in my nose,

Wisconsin farmer in, the Farmers
Review. The hog is as nice a brute
as we raise, and if fed properly, with
good clean bed of straw in cold wealth
er, plenty Of shade in summer and kept
clean, his flesh is as healthy as any
other animal. He knows better how
to take care Of his stomach than most
animals. When he needs roots, or
worms, or grit, or lime, or potash, or
anything else in the ground, let him
root for it. l think more of my hogs
than l do Of little pasture. When
they root it up the chances are that
there will be more pasture there than
in any other part Of the field il you
will just SOW some oats and clover feed
and drag it down. They are the finest
things in the world on an old pasture,
or what is called permanent pasture,
to kill out the grub worms that infect
the pasture every year or so. All men
who like the job of ringing hogs are
welcome to the job for all of me.

GAME Of PLAYING SCOUT.
Pleasant Pastime for the Young Folks
When Out for a Summer.
Erolic.

Boys and girls who live in the coun-
try, and those from the city who will
visit in the country this summer, may
have great sport playing scout. The
only thing necessary is patch of
woods, says the Washington Star.
Any of the counting out" plans may
be used to see who will be Indians
and who will be scout. Those who are
counted out are Indians, and the last
one left is the scout.
When everything is ready the scout
hides his eyes to count 200, while the
Indians scamper OF through the
woods and hide. 1t must be agreed,
Of course, that no one shall go beyond
certain limits.
The scout may set out on his
search with shout and rush, or he
may steal along noiselessly, hoping
to surprise the Indians. To be caught"
an Indian has only to be seen. The
scout calls his name, and the Indian
must come in as prisoner. However,
a prisoner may do all he can to throw
the scout of the trail.
When all the Indians have been
spied the one who was caught first must
be scout, and he hides his eyes and
counts while the others run away again
as Indians. Each game starts at the
spot where the last Indian is captured.
A whole day may be delightfully."- spent
in the woods at this game.

Fiber in Feeds.

There is one point that some feeders
lose sight Of and that is the value Of
fiber in feed Of cows or in fact of any
animals adapted to the consumption
Of fresh and dried grasses. Fiber is
coming to be recognized as very i'm
portant constituent of the feed of
cows. Where it has been ignored, as
in the great fsN;lirg yards connected
with distilleries, the results have not
been good. Just how much fiber the

it is investigated the more does It

Wheat, middlings, oats and corn are all

is to feed it to the poultry. As food for
poultry it furnishes the material for
making growth in a palatable, easily d.

Pointer to Beginners.

In taking up breed of fowls the
amateur should be careful to select a
breed for which there is not only Q
good demand at the present time, but
for which there promises to be a de-
mand in the future. The future popu-
larity of variety of fowls cannot al
ways be judged by its present popular
ity, which may be only spasmodic. The
variety that has maintained its popu-
larity year after year is the best one
for the amateur to tie to. There are
plenty Of this kind and they will
be as popular ten years hence as they
are to-day, or more SO. It is an old
saying that you cannot down q good
man." and it is equally true that
you eanEot down a good variety Of
fowls. Merit wins in spite Of all OBJ
staeles. We would advise the amateur

The preacher pouredtout his anguish in
an inspiring plea for the one who WIS
in the shadow of the gallows. He
prayed with a fervor that he had never

Of his own eloquence; his mind tram
ecended his surroundings; his voice
fell to q whisper, and he pleaded on.
Suddenly Abner felt rough hand on
his shoulder. He opened his eyes, the
prayer still on his lips. Jim was bend

Now the saw was piled vigorously to
the other bar, and in few minutes
Jim Pitts began the final preparations
for escape. With almost superhuman
strength he bent the bars aside, leaving
an opening that seemed scarcely large
enough for a child to crawl through.
Standing up the murderer drew OF his
shirt and rubbed soap on MS bare
arms and shoulders. His muscular body
glistened in the dim light that filtered
into the cell. AS Abner started up from
the corner where he was kneeling, he
saw his brother standing over him like
some internal apparition. He stood up
and faced the desperate prisoner. They
were breathing hard and glazing at
each other. Abner was about to cry
out when Jim caught him in q tight
embrace. The murderer jerked the
handkerchief from his brothers. pocket
and drew it tightly across his mouth;
the preacher was gagged. In another
minute Abner was stripped Of his coat
and his hands were bound behind him

scrawled to the bars and listened, pant.

Abner's coat, hat and Bible out, then
he slowly worked his body through the
breach in the iron cage. Abner saw
the crouching prisoners shadow dimly
outlined against the dark walls of the
cell. then it vanished.
The preacher writhed upon the floor
and struggled hard. but he could not
free himself or cry out. His soul was
filled with anguish, and the text, But

through his mind. He closed his eyes
in a torrent of tears and prayed in
silence
At dawn Jim Pitts walked past the
guard at the prison door with Bible

suppress his emotion.
Tiger-like, Jim Pitts began to pace

on his face. Once he glanced at his
brother with an expression of disdain,
then he stopped and said:

MEAT As CHICKEN FOOD.
Rhode Island Experimental Station
Tells Of Several Tests in This
Direction.

In a recent report Of experiments IN
feeding chickens. the Rhode Island ex.
pertinent station Gays:
THE use of the proper proportion Of
animal food will pay handsome profit
through decreased mortality and in
creased weight Of the chicks. In feeding
bear in mind that chicks In state of
nature spend practically all of their
working hours in search of food, and
that they do not fill their crops in ten
minutes every two hours. Feeding
should be, as far as the time of the at
tendant renders profitable, continuous
process, but by no means continuous
gorge.
"The experiment which led up to this
conclusion was with an incubator hatch
of 219 chickens. These We're separated
into lots of about so each and placed In
similar brooders. For 30 days all condi-
lions were kept alike except the rations.
Pen A was fed a balanced ration of
grains, meat and green food. The
chicks grew and thrived and not one
chick showed symptoms of digestive
disorder. The deaths amounted to SO
per cent In pen B all animal food was
withheld; the deaths were 9.5 per cent.
of which Is per cent. had bowel trouble.
Pen c was fed on grain alone. all animal
food and all green food being omitted
from the ration; the deaths were 32.7
per cent, of which 76.5 per cent. showed
digestive trouble. In pen d all grain
food was omitted; the deaths of chicks
were 63.7 per cent, of which S5.8 per cent.
showed bowel trouble. All the living
chicks were weighed at the close of tho
test, and pen A showed the geatest aver
age weight for all breeds.
This experiment shows conclusively
that outside of brooding and conditions
during incubation chicks may be killed
by improper feeding. Where one does
not wish to buy the prepared beef
scraps, the bones and scraps from the
table will go far toward feeding the baby
chicks at first If put in shape SO they
can eat them"
