and We'll fool the sneaks."
The herder and Jack waited in the
cave for about six hours; then, the
smoke having cleared away, they
crawled out of the cave and looked
up. 1t was quite dark and they saw
that the Indians had rolled a huge
rock over. the mouth of the chimney.
Mike" exclaimed Jack, there must
be al opening down below, or how did
the smoke clear off,"
They started to descend, and on the
bottom they found the dead body OF
the panther. They soon found the
hole through which the smoke had
passed and by a good deal of squeez-
ing they got through it onto the side
of a cliff. After walking along a ledge
they reached a path that led to the
top. They then caught their pony,
which had been quietly grazing about,
and were soon off on a trot for home,
and were soon telling of their adven-
lures to an anxious and interested
crowd of neighbors.

THE WILD ONION PEST.
Plant That ~Propogates at Both Ends,
at the Top and Base.

F. c. Reimer, assistant ~horticultur-
list of the North Carolina department
of agriculture, writes thus about Grad
icating the wild onion pest: When
they get into lawns, there is but one
thing to do, and hat is to dig them
out and carry them off the field in
baskets or wagons and bury them
deeply or place them where the bulb
lets cannot get back into the field.
In general field culture the thing
to do is to plant the cultivated crops
like corn, for example, and keep
ground thoroughly titled. Just as soon
as the crop is removed some
crop should be placed on the ground
which will keep it thoroughly shaded.
During the summer months there is
nothing better than COW peas, but In
the winter months rye is excellent.
The idea is to prevent any growth
while cultivation is going on and to
keep the ground shaded while not in
cultivation. This is specially impor-
tant in the fall, winter and spring
as the wild onion makes most of its
growth during this period.
Remember that the onion propa-
gates at both ends, both at the top
and base in the ground.

Spread Manure in Winter.

The loss of manur as ordinarily
kept in heaps outside the barn is much
more than when spread on the field.
Fermentation is much less outdoors
than indoors. 1t is better for the ma
nure to leach on tho soil that it is
meant to fertilize than in proximity
to the barn and the family well. Ex-
periments and experience alike show
that housing manure in winter for
spring hauling is seldom better and
generally worse than spreading it as
fast as made. Some will be lost if
spread, but more will be lost if kept
in the barn, and the spring work will
be just so much hindered. While it
may not be advisable to spread ma
nure on a steep hillside in winter, yet
on moderate slopes and level places,
If not too leachy land, it may be safe
ly spread any day in the year.

Mike waited long enough to pick the
two nearest savages out of their sad
dies and then started down the Chin
ney by the aid OF the bushes, Jack
following. Suddenly the boy lost his
hold and fell more than ten feet onro
the ledge where Mike was standing.
Jack" said the man. hadn't we
better duck into this cave?" pointing
to a hole in the rock.
Jack agreed and started in, but soon
scrambled out again.
There's a panther In there, for !
saw his eyes!" he cried.
Mike peered in and said. You're
right, Jackie, and I'm afther thinkin'
he looks ugly"
AS he spoke they heard a snar] and
the savage animal jumped toward
them, but, as they ducKed, he few
over their heads and, striking the OPP
posite wall, fell with a thud to the
bottom.
Mike and Jack then crawled into the
cave and lay down. Soon they heard
the jabbering of Indians, and, looking
up, saw them making a fire of green
stuff, and smoke soon began to fill the
Chimney.
"Begorra!" exclaimed Mike, strip

herd they left some 90 of their num-
Der to take care of the cattle, and
the rest of the red men came after
Jack and Mike at b~reak-neck speed.

his companion seemed to be leaving
their pursuers behind, but Jacks pony

The herder's pony could only go at
a trot, carrying double weight, so the
Indians were hardly an Fights of a
mile behind them when they reached
their hiding place.

stiddy you"
The Chimney went down at a slight
angle about a $50 feet into the rock,
and had probably been followed out
by the action of water. There was
quite a growth of vines and bushes
springing from the soil on the ledge
on the inside.

EQUIP YOUR SOUTHERN HOME.
Send to the Agricultural Department
for Bulletin No. 27O.

he United States department of
agriculture has just issued, as No. 270
In the Farmers Bulletin series, a
treatire on Modern Conveniences for
the Farm Home" The object of the
publication is to show how farmers
can equip their homes with many of
the conyeSiences now largely con-
fined to city homes. Among the sub
jects treated are water supply, plumb
ing, bathrooms and closets, sewage
disposal and heating. The farmer is
shown how, at a comparatively small
expense, he can supply his home with
water by means of an elevated tank
filled by a hydraulic ram. a windmill,
or a small engine. The best methods
of d~isposing of the sewage are ex-
planned and illustrated. Suggestions
are made regarding the laying out of
home grounds, the location of buildings
and the remodeling of homes already
built, and .1ese suggestions are ac-
companied by illustrations. The bulle-
tin, which contains AZ pages, is for
free distribution, and application may
be made to the department Of agricul-
ture, Washington.

THE FARMER is PROGRESSIVE.
Agriculture Becomes More Scientific
40 Need Arises.

The mighty production OF the farmer
for one-third of a century has come
out of an agriculture having many
faults, yet the course of agriculture
in this country, u~nscientif1c as II
may seem, has had economic Justih-
cation. Pioneers, poor n In debt,
have no capital, eve II they have
knowledge. They must have build
ings, machinery and livestock even at
the expense Of the soil. Moreover,
millions Of acres of fresh land have
been coming into production faster
than domestic consumption required. A
more scientific agriculture will have
raised crops in excess of the demands;
but, when consumption demands and
prices sustain, the farmer will re-
spond, for the doors of knowledge and
example are opening wider to him.
No miracle would be required to
double or even treble the production
of cotton per acre. The corn crop a
be increased by one-half per acre with
in one-fourth of a century and yet
without reaching the limit, and the
same may be said of wheat and many
other crops. One-fourth of the dairy
COWS of the country do not pay for
their feed, and more than one-half
of them pay no profit. The egg pro-
duction per hen will be increased by
at least a dozen a year within a gen.
GRAFTON, while some poultrymen fore
tell double that increase. If the hens
of this year had each laid a dozen
eggs more than they did, the in
creased value of this production would
have possibly aggregated $500 900.
The farmer will not fail the nation
If the nation does not fail the farmer.
He needs education to open the pow
ers of the soil now hidden from him.

"And If you see any Indians, ride

Arnold to her son Jack, just as he
and Mike Flanagan, the chief herder,
were starting out to ind some stray
cattle.
Frank Arnold had come to Colorado
eight years before with his wife and
six-year-old son. but he was killed dur
Ing the third year of his residence by
q band Of wandering Indians. leaving
Mike in charge of the ranch.
As Jack and the herder set out, they
had no thought of danger, for Indians
had not been seen around for several
months. Mike and Jack rode across
the prairie in search of the cattle, and
found them In a creek bed five miles
from home. Suddenly Mike saw a
cloud of dust off to the south and
rapidly drawing nearer.

which is decidedly the record over any
previous month for the same period, and
indicates the spirit of organization to be

fees of these official acts Of the Secre-

While the larger fees are governed by
the amount Of capital stock which goes

steel Pens.

Steel writing pens are a modern In.
vention. They were first made In 1903
In England by a man named Wise.
The quill pen of our forefathers was
first used in the fifth century. Before
that time split reeds were used to
write with. There was not much use
for pen in the olden times. Theo-
doric, king of the Ostrogoths, it is
said, was so illiterate that, instead Of
using a pen with which to sign docu-
ments, he had a gold plate through
which letters were cut, and this being
placed on 3 piece Of paper. the king
traced his signature with q grill.

Brittle Hoof

It is q well-known fact that the
hoofs of some horses are more brittle
than others, and that the hoofs of the
same horse will be more brittle at
some times than at others. A lack OF

factor in bringing about this result.
Therefore supply moisture to the feet.
