iiary fire; the passing in review of
Barcelona and his lieutenants has an
easy explanation now.
Listen! what are they shouting?'
exclaims Miss Pauline in some ex-
element.
Dick is already thrilled by the
thought that this magnificent crea-
ture, the woman he has already learn
ed to love. has taken this dangerous
midnight trip TO save his life.
Her words arouse him: he remem-
bers that he has no business now to
be thinking of himself when human
lives are in peril Perhaps he might
be instrumental in saving some one.

line alone in the crowd. Now he
catches the cries. All heads are bent
back, and every eye seems TO be
watching something that is going on

admiration of these Parisians, who

they exclaim, and Dick is also thrilled
when his eyes take in the situation
above.
Through the fire and smoke he sees
a man on the fat roof of the burning
house. Some one is perhaps sitting
on his legs. for at least half his body
hangs over the coping, and in this
way he can reach the window of the
upper hall. where a number of
wretched people have clustered, as
though there can be safety in thus
coming together. In this man Dick
recognizes Colonel Bob. The present
Sheriff of SecOra county was once a
Cincinnati fireman attached to the
famous Gifts, and thus it happens he
knows many of the tricks of the
trade.
Though not a large man, he has
the power Of a Samson in his arms
and back. A pair Of arms are out
stretched to the daring rescuer. he
clutches them above the elbows. and
lifts the woman up until some one

she disappears oSer the coping and
the crowd below gives a subdued
cheer.
One has been saved, but there are
others left. Already has Colonel Bob
taken hold of a second and with a
tremendous pull raises her as he did
the other. while the admiring crowd,

Special Purpose Food.

There is no perfect food for all pur.
poses. Everybody depends upon what
is to be accomplished. If the object
is to fatten an animal the food should
contain a large proportion of corn !;
that is, if the desire Is to promote
growth. OF the various foods, grass is
equal to any, as it is rich in mineral
matter and is also an assistant in fat
tening, because it promotes digestion
and is eaten slowly. For milk pro-
duction grass may be assisted by the
concentrated foods, and also by hay
but only variety of food is perfect for
any purpose.

Field Pumpkins Value.

The field pumpkin contains, accord
ing to the analyses quoted by Profes-
sor Henry, in his FEEDS and Feeding"
81 per cent Of dry matter; dent corn,
Sl.9 per cent. In fifty bushels of corn
there would be $500 pounds, about q
800 pounds Of dry matter. In ton Of
pumpkins there would be 1S2 pounds
Of dry matter. Therefore, as we figure
it, it would require about fourteen tons
Of pumpkins to equal fifty bushels of
corn. The dry matter Of corn contains
10 parts protein, 667 carbohydrates
and 4.3 parts of fat. Multiplying the
fat by "a to get its equivalent in car
bohydrates and adding this result to
the carbohydrates, and then dividing
by the protein, you have ratio or l to
9.S. Treating the dry matter Of the
pumpkin in the same way, multiplying
3 per cent of that by "a, adding to
the carbohydrates 5.S, dividing by the
protein, 1 per cent, would give a ratio
of 1 to 6.5, balanced ration in itself
for Shoats.

For its value there is no farm prod
uct that can be carried 1000 to 1000
miles so cheaply and so safely as wool.
A ton Of wool is worth $3.50, at 80
cents a pound, or $500 at % cents. A
ton Of wheat is worth ABOUT $50 and
corn about SIC. The freight is about
the same for each, and Is thus twenty
five times more for corn than wool.
This is worth considering, and shows
how much better it is to turn corn into
wool than to sell it.

where Are Your Implements.

Here is a timely reminder: 1t gives
the careful farmer a lot of comfort to
know that his farm implements are all
under shelter. Fortunate, indeed, is
the farmer who has large machine
shed. Not to have one is hard for .he
man who lives on rented farm, where
the landlord does not realize that o
place to shelter expensive tools is a
paying investment. On many a farm
there is scarcely room to shelter live
stock, and it is no easy matter to fnd
a place for machinery. 1t is so easy
to fall into the habit Of neglecting farm
implements.
