Safely out of its way, Baker turned and stared

there was number, because white board swung
from the tail axle. but he could not make out the
figures. Dust and swaying car COnspired to defeat
him. And he did see, too that there were four
persons in the dImly silhOuetted against the
light reflected from the road
Again he rushed to the telephone; Bowman
responded promptly.
That cars gone in again. Baker called. Ninety

Then'was repeated the search Of the night before
When the two men met in the middle of The Trap
their faces were blank-banl as the high stone walls

On the third night the phan-
tom car appeared and disap-
peared precisely as it had
done previously. Then Baker
and Bowman decided to
change places for a night, and
SO the following night Bowman
made himself comfortable on
Bakers camp stool. And he
saw the phantom auto. He
called Baker over the wire,
and Baker watched half an
hour for the phantom. 1t
didn | appear.
In time the story reached
the newspapers. Hutchinson
Hatch, reporter, smiled in
credulously when his city edi-
tor tersely stated the known
facts. But there was enough
of the bizarre about it TO
pique the curiosity; so Hatch
journeyed down to Yarbor-
ough County, an hours ride
from the city, met and talked
to Baker and Bowman, and
then, in broad daylight,
strolled along The Trap twice.
On the first trip through
Hatch paid particular atten-
ton to the Thomas Q. Rogers

feet high, was an unbroken line

muttered grimly, between

Then when the onrushing
car was a full two hundred
yards away Baker planted
himself in the middle OF the

anything, to be travelling even

A GOOD COW.
Story of One Animal of Jersey Strain
Who Paid Her Owner a
Good Profit.

A dairyman who does not own many
cows. and those good ones, recently
gave the following figures concerning
one OF his cows, pure-bred Jersey, to
the Ohio Farmer.
Her first calf was dropped In 1897
a heifer-now a valued member OF the
herd. Her next calf came in 1898. with
a successor each year up to the pres
ent, making nine calves in all. Three
were females and six males. The heif.
ers have been retained in the herd and
the bulls sold at an average of $50
each. Valuing the heifers at the same,
the nine calves represent an earning
of $500. With her second calf she
made a test OF 2S0 pounds of milk in
seven days, churning II pounds. four
ounces Of butter. Her average milk
Yield has been 1900 pounds. sold to a
creamery at an average Of Sl.20 per
100 pounds. an aggregate for eight
years Of S720. Adding TIE value OF the
calves 10 the amount received for milk
her gross earnings amount to s1,0S0
These figures are very eloquent for the
good special purpose COW, put were no'
given to me, nor do I record them as
anything extraordinary. An annual
yield OF 1900 pounds Of five per cent
milk, while indicating a COW Of greal
merit does not raise her above thou
sands OF other good cows. She has
broken no records but she has kept
the faith. She has always had good
care, good feed and plenty Of It. She
has been given a chance. She Is g
COW Of robust constitution, a great
feeder, strong milker and reliable
breeder.
Her feed had been the ordinary feed
Of the herd. Pasture and soiling crops
in summer, corn silage, mixed hay
corn meal wheat bran and oil meal II
winter. She has never been fed ex
cessively, but has never gone hungr!
nor in any way known abuse.

Seeding Peaches Have Value.

In eastern Kansas the Seeding
peach has proved as profitable dur
ing the past five or six years as the
high priced budded varieties. While
the later have for several years been
almost total failures here, says a
Kansas correspondent of the Farm
and Home, the well-kept Seeding
trees have rarely failed to yield at
least a light crop OF the luscious
fruit. Budded peaches bear much
larger and finer fruit when they do
bear and the trees are harder and
of more thrifty growth. The life OF
the seeding is comparatively short
necessitating the planting of a lew
every year. Some of the best budded
varieties produce almost the same
kind from seed. The Heath Cling
and some Of the offsprings from FL
berta are among these.

Steamer Brings in Load of Salt from

They had already got out the bulk
of it from Immediately under the

with which from stem to stern this
steamer was loaded; cargo OF $500
tons of salt, brought from a place in

In depth.
To one whose ideas of salt were

Clean Yards for Swine.

Many of the hog yards found about
the country reek with filth. II swine
are TO be kept healthy they should
be given clean yards. The hog Is not
by nature a dirty animal, even II he
does wallow IN mud. 1t is doubtful II
hog cholera would get start II the
hog quarters were never allowed to
become filthy. Many and many a
farmer has had his hogs become sick
merely from the condition of the hog
yard When the rains fall such yards
are a mass of mud, and when the
weather becomes dry they are filled
with fine dust. which gets into the
lungs of the animals and causes
symptoms similar TO pneumonia and
TO hog cholera. II is possible on most
farms to have several hog yards, and
to keep the animals In one yard fol
but q short time. Such an arrange
ment is a most satisfactory one.
