CHAPTER XXI.

(4l<AL LII
ON a cold and cheerless afternoon In
October, with a gray and lowering sky
above and a drenched and sombre
world around, George Bostock took his
way to see Olive Dumbarton. A fierce
storm had ragged all night, carrying
death and destruction over land and
sea and though the wind had some
what. fallen at dawn, the rain had on
tinued in "a steady downpour.
Nothing could be more depressing
than his dreary day, and from its
cheerless beginning h publisher had
felt more than usual weighed down by
dark fears and bitter regrets, which
he found impossible to combat and
conquer. And this feeling increased
with the hours that passed, he re-
solved to call upon Olive Dumbarton,
anxious TO see her once more, and on
ident that the relief and JOY she felt
in the speedy establishment of her in
nocence would assuredly help him from
the slough of despond in which he was
plunged, from the mental gloom that
overwhelmed hin.
Everything on his way conspired to
defect him; the motonous patter OF
rain on the glass of the cab. the drip
ping people hurrying through a haze
of dampness, the mud-splashed. miser-
able urchins. crying the contents OF
evening papers. Moreover, the mo-
In a most melancholy day. when the
last weird CLEAN of light is just visible
above the darkness of coming night.
Getting out OF his cab, whose driver,

fare In severe silence, George Bostock

sense of depression. He w9s vet, how
ever. TO witness hat which would de-
ject him more than all else he had
seen that day; soon to hear that which
would stir his soul to It's depths.
Walking along the broad. softiy-car-
peted corridor leading to the drawing
room, he glanced toward the entrance
Lof the study where the terrible tragedy
had taken place: the study with its
floor stIli smeared and stained with
blood. Its windows closed and shut
tered, its furniture dust covered, its
door locked. Never had he passed it
since that night which ended David
Dumbarton's life without feeling a
sickness Of heart and physical repul-
sion, but now his aversion and dread
We're heightened. and he hurried by as

Frost Bite.

There are other ways of getting
frost bitten aside from going boldly
out and letting Jack Frost nip your
fingers and toes. A very common
method Is to come home with cold,
wet feet from a long drive, or from
outdoor work, and place the feet or
hands in warm water or before the
fire. The one who does this, inc not
many escape it during the cold months.
is frost bitten to all inrentS and pur
poses, saws o. III. Stovall of Grants
Pass, Ore, in the Epitomist. The best
way 10 treat frost-bite is the old meth
cd of rubbing the affected parts with
snow. This coaXes bac the lost vital
ity. After the coldness n numb
ness subsidies, put the hands or feet In
moderately cold water and continue the
rubbing process. No warmth should
be applied for some time. Blood poi
son from frost-bite is too frequently
the result of coming in and raShly
thrusting the numbed hands or feet in
to a basin of warm or hot water. On
the American farm chilblains are usu-
ally about the extent of frost bite.
not In~frequently we read of
rancheIs and even farmers
of the more densely inhabited localities
to death. AS before limited IL
is not always the extreme lowness OF
temperature to which ne's feet or
hands are subjected that causes the
deadly blood poisoning, but is the sud
den change, either from cold 10 heat.
or from heat to cold. Thus moist cold
is much more dangerous and difficult
to Withstand than dry; and that ex-
plains why the easterner, accustomed
to a temperature of IL. 16 ar even 90
below zero in the eastern states, nearly
dies from cold IL out in the weather OF
the Pacific pas when the tempera-
ture is several degrees above zero.

in a heap. as the saying goes, and he adj
mitted there might be some truth IN the
idea. There is too much of this sort OF
farming going on all over the country.

ciples which are to raise all the stock the
family needs to neat before calculating on

with success Is good farming, but to buy
pork when one has every facility for
producing il at home is certainly poor
business. All of us are familiar with the
man who claims he can buy vegetables
and pork cheaper than he can raise them
but If such is the case he certainly pays
a higher rate for raising them than ana
the man whose product he bought. Ihefe
is food for Thought in this item.

EYE TROUBLE AMONG HORSES.

From all sections of the country reports
are received concerning an eye trouble
from which horses are suffering. Veteri-
narians are unable to give it a name or to
locate it's source. 1t is affecting horses OF
all ages and conditions. A CLEAN OF hope
is in the fact that the horses who suffer
with indigestion are afflicted the worst,
which is a slight indication that a stom-
ach trouble is at the bottom of il. A
prominent veterinarian in consultation
with the writer agrees that, to some eX-
tent at least, the trouble may be due 10
stables which are not properly lighted,
being either too light or too dark. SO far
as possible he advises that a subdued light
be admitted to the stables, and never di-
rectly in the face Of the animal, Horse
owners are advised TO follow this sugges-
ton. and if any eye trouble Is discovered
in their horses to consult a skilled veteri-
MARIAN 1t once.

aALAMcING ThE cow RATION.

On most farms corn in some form is the
basis of the ration for all the stock with
the possible exception of the horses. The
man who best understands feeding makes
an effort to grow other things which Will
enable him, with the corn as a basis,
to make a balanced ration at the smallest
possible cost. IL he cannot raise these
things he arranges affairs so he can raise
something he can sell at a price which
will enable him TO invest the proceeds
in what he wants for the balanced ration
and obtain the most possible for ms
money. 1t should be remembered that
where corn is the basis of the ration
foods having the greatest value in protein
are what should he raised or purchased,
but less of it will b. required TO form
the best ration with corn Ii the roughage
can be either clover hay or alfalfa. If
this be an admitted fact, ii Is one more
argument in favor OF alfalfa, and ii is
worth much time and trouble TO get al
falfa established on the farm. OF course
bran and gluten meal are also good bal
ancing foods and may be used alternately
with the cottonseed meal or in place OF
the latter il the market price is lower IN
ones own section.

GLASS IN POULTRY HOUSES.

While all the sunlight possible is desired
in the poultry house during the winter, 1t
should be remembered that at night
houses with much glass and no inside
heat become very cold. Some plan for
covering the glass at night should be
evolved and the covering should be in
accordance with the climate. In the very
cold north we have a set of board doors
so arranged that they may be closed and
fastened over the glass az night, from
the outside, then we have a heavy burlap
curtain on rollers on the inside, which is
dropped down at night. In this way the
house is kept warm. In milder climates
the inside curtain would probably be all
necessary, but IT should be made of heavy
material so as to afford ample protection.
OF course the roosts should be located as
far from the glass as possible and ar
ranged in the warmest part OF the house
and where no ~draugats from any venti-
lating apparatus used will blow over the
fowls. inexperienced pouitrymen do not
fully appreciate the Importance of keep
ing the fowls from catching cold and get
ting their feet wet during winter. Rarely,
If ever. Is 1t necessary to provide artificial
heat IN the poultry house, but It is always
necessary to have the house fairly warm,
always dry and free from draughts.

EXPERIENCES WITH STOCK
n

That there is much in the composition
of stock foods on the line of condiments
is generally admitted and the continued
feeding of them for any length Of time
should be carefully done. Last winter
we fattened fifteen hogs and used a GER
tain stock food with gratifying results.
Several sows that were not doing we'll
were given more or less of the food and
they braced up for a time, taking on so
much fat that the use of the food was
discontinued. As a result the pigs
dropped in the spring were far from sat
isfactory and the sows were in bad shape.
Horses given the stock food seemed TO
improve at first. but subsequent foods had
no effect upon them. This winter we are
testing another food, and IL is acting on
similar lines so far as we are able TO
judge at this writing. Bear in mind these
foods are not being condemned. but 1t
is advised that they be used with caution
and the effects on stock closely watched.
