only such sheds as would prevent the
flock being exposed to direct winds,
rain and snowstorms.
The cut shows the type of sheep

ful shepherd, which might be copied
with success. In this instance the
sheep are kept upon forage crops
grown in four adjacent lots. The flock
may be turned into any lot at pleas

1t is we'll to have this building
equipped with a large ventilating
window in the end near the gable or
two small windows such as shown in
the sketch. These, however, should
be equipped with a sash that may be
closed in severe weather.
Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with barn cellar in
which the flock has been kept with
varying success. The barn cellar is
an excellent place for sheep If rightly
arranged. There should be plenty of
openings to the south, allowing sun

drainage is essential.
There must be ventilation at the
rear of the stable. A bad practice is
to keep the sheep in stables on stable
manure, says Farm and Home. The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture of WOOL A hint which
has been worth many dollars to me is
to use only long straw, hay or weeds
for bedding sheep. If short straw or
sawdust is used it gets into the fleece
and is an everlasting nuisance.

Missed the ToWpath,

There was little girl, five years old
or so, living in an inland town up the
state, according to the Philadelphia
Ledger. Near her home there was no
river, nor, in fact, any water but the
Erie canal.
The child's mother made a visit to
New York, and on her return was tell
ing of her trip down the bay and of
how wonderful the sea had looked to
her. Her little girl was listening
eagerly.
Tell me just what the sea Is like,
mamma" she said.
Her mother made an effort.
There's the beach, she said, call
smooth, white sand. You stand on 1t
and look out upon the ocean, and all
you can see is water, just moving wa
ter, waves coming in and breaking
nothing but water and sky"
The child sat trying to picture 1t,
then, in an awed little whisper asked:
"Oh. mamma, isn't there a tow
path?"

CHAPTER v.

Unlike most of those who ride much
her escort was a fast walker. Louise
had trouble in keeping up with him,
though she had always considered her
self good pedestrian. But Jim Mum
son was laboring under strange en-
barrassment. He was redfacedly
conscious of the attention he was at
tracing striding up the inclined
street from the station in the van of
the prettiest and most thoroughbred
girl who had struck Velpen this long
time.
Not that he objected to attention
under normal conditions. Not he! He
courted it. His chief aim in life
seemed to be to throw the limelight
of publicity, first on the Three Bars
ranch as the one and only in the cate
CORY of ranches, and to be connected
with it in some way, however slight,
the unquestioned aim and object of
existence of every man, woman and
child in the cattle country; secondly,
on Paul Langford, the very boss of
bosses, whose master mind was the
prop and stay of the northwest, if not
of all Chirstendom; and lastly, upon
himself, the modest, but loyal servi-
tor in this Paradise on earth. But girls
were far from normal conditions.
There were no women at the Three
Bars. There never had been any
woman at the Three Bars within the
memory of man. To be sure, Willis
tons little girl had sometimes ridden
over on an errand, but she didn't
count. This-this was the real thing,
and he didn't know just how to deal
his sight to this broadened horizon.
He glanced with nonchalance over
his shoulder. After all, she was only
a girl, and not such big one, either.
She wore longer skirts than Willis
tons girl, but he didn't believe she
was day older. He squared about
Immediately, and what he had meant
to say he never said, on account of
an unaccountable thickening of his
tongue.
Presently he bolted into a building,
which proved to be the Bon Ami, a
restaurant under the direct supervis-
ion of the fat, voluble and tragic Mrs.
Higgins, where the men from the
other side of the river had right of
way and unlimited credit.

BRAIN POWER

A lady writer who not only has done
lily. found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer Of
GrapeNuts as a regular diet. l for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything | happened to
find. Being a writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
when read of Grape Nuts began
eating it every morning. also gave it
to the children, including my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as little pig, good natured and
coptented
Il wrote evenings and feeling the
need of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts
with milk, instead of my usual indi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.

Jim, how aid II come about? And
who's the lady? Lord. Jim, you of all

"Aw, come off," growled jim. in
petulant scorn. You make me tired!
You're plumb luney, that's what you

amt pizen-honest."
Jim looked on idly. Occasionally
he condescended to head rebellious
steer shutewards. Out beyond it was
still and sweet and peaceful, and the
late afternoon had put on that thin
veil of coolness which is a God-gfven
refreshment after the heat of the
day But here in the pen all was con-
fusion. The raucous cattle-calls of
the cowboys smote the evening air
startlingly.
Here, Bill Brown!" he exclaimed
suddenly. where did you run across
that critter?" He slapped the shoul-
der of big, raw -boned, long-eared
steer as he spoke. The animal was
on the point of being driven up the
shute.
What you want to know for? asked
Brown in surprise.
Reason 'nough. That critter be-
longs to us, that's why; and | want to
know where you got him, that's what
l want to know"
You're crazy, Jim! Why, | bought
that fellow from Jesse Black t. other
day. I've got a bill of sale for him.
I'm shippin' a couple Of cars to Sioux
City and bought him to send along.
That's on the square"

A ROASTING PIG.
Age for Killing and How to Dress for
Cooking.

To prepare a pig for roasting
choose one four or six weeks old
which is plump and fat and has had
an abundance of milk. The best way
to kill such pig, says Farm and
Home, is to stick him with a sharp
two-edged knife, cutting the artery
on the left side of the throat
Scald by immersing him several
times in boiling water and scrape with
a dull knife. Heat the water to about
200 degrees, which is just hot enough
to scald. Don't leave the pig In the
water long, or it will be cooked un-
der the skin. Scald thoroughly sew
eral times and then wash with cold
water. Lay the pig on its back, cut
open lengthwise and remove the en-
trails. Wash thoroughly with cold
water Then deliver to the housewife
to stuff with dressing, sew up, and
bake whole.

ends it,"
Now that he had convinced his
quondam acquaintance, the present
shipper, to his entire satisfaction,
Jim glanced at his watch with os-
tentatious ease. His time had come.
If all the minutes of all the time to
come should be as short as those 40
had been, how soon he, Jim Munson,
COW puncher, would have ridden them
all into the past. But his "get away"
must be clean and dignified.
Likely bunch you have there" he
said, casually, turning away with un.
assumed reluctance.
Fair to middlin," said Brown with
pride.

yep"

Nope. Boss never dribbles 'em
out. When he ships he ships. Amt

He stepped off briskly and vaulted
the fence with as lightsome an air as
though he were bent on the one err
rand his heart would choose, and
swung up the track carelessly hum
ming tune. But he had a vise-like
grip on his cob pipe. His teeth bit
through the frail stem. 1t split. He
tossed the remains away with a ges-
ture of nervous contempt A whistle
sounded. He quickened his pace. If
he missed her-well, the boss was a
good fellow, took a lot of nonsense
from the boys, but there were things
he would not stand for. Jim did not
need to be told that this would be one
of them.
The platform was crowded. The
yellow sunlight fell slantingly on the
gay groups.

off, prime for more adventures. He

SYNOPSIS.

George Williston, a poor ranchman.
high minded and cultured, searches for
cattle missing from his ranch-the Lazy
s. On wooded spot in the rivers bed
that would have been an island had the
Missouri been at high water, he discovers
a band of horse thieves engaged in work
ing over brands on cattle. He CreepS
near enough to note the changing of the
'"Threc Bars brand on one steer to the
~ r." brand. Paul Langford. the rich
owner of the Three Bars" ranch, is sent
for by Williston and is informed of the
operations of the gang of cattle thieves
a band of outlaws headed by Jesse Black,
who long have defied the law and author
tiles of Kemah county, South Dakota,
with impunity, but who, heretofore, had
not dared to molest any of the property
of the great Three Bars" ranch. Willis
ton shows his reluctancy in opposing a
band so powerful in politics and so dread
ed by all the community. LangfOrd
pledges Williston his friendship If he
will assist in bringing Jesse Black and
his gang TO justice. Langford is struck
known as "Williston's little girl" Louise
Dale an expert court stenographer, who
had followed her uncle Judge Hammond
Dale from the east to the 'Dakotahs,"
and who is living with him at Wind City,
is requested by the county attorney,
Richard Gordon, to come TO Kemah and
take testimony in the preliminary hear
ing of Jesse Black. She accepts the invi-
tation and makes her first trip into the
wild Indian country. Arriving at Nelpen
across the river from Kemah, she is met
by Jim Munson, a hot headed cowboy of
the Three Bars ranch.

AS YET UNKNOWN TO FAME.
Can Any One Place This Quotation
from Philosopher?

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother a
colored man, usually in good humor,
had 'em, too. Neither knew just why
he had 'em, but they had 'em just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and a dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
In the soul of patron or a barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes, over a
barber shop. The colored man was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
"Well, as de old philosopah says:
'Ef yo' amt got nothin,' now's yo'
time"
Jones is still wondering who the
philosopher was.-Indianapolis News.

WHY DO you cRoss-BREED?
A Question Which 1t Would Be Well
for Some Farmers to Answer.

| know number of farmers who
have q hobby for cross-breeding
among their stock, especially hogs.
have never been able to understand
the reason for this. If the breeders
have spent years trying to perfect a
breed, how can we hope by one cross
to improve upon 1t? Some claim that
1t is necessary to infuse new blood
into the breeding stock, and this is
well enough; but why should that new
blood be other than of the same
breed? We can get male of the same
breed that is not akin to our stock
and still keep the breed pure. 1t is
q pretty sight to see all the hogs or
poultry on a farm the same breed and
color. Then it is good policy to keep
the breed pure, for it has been proved
beyond a doubt that pure-bred stock
are the most profitable. 1t is simply
an old fogyism that causes farmers to
persist in this old practice of trying
to improve the best breeds that have
taken scientific breeders many years
to breed up to the present state of per-
fection. There may be reasons, and
good ones, why cross breeding Is
practiced, but 1 have never heard
them given.
