Horse Feeding.

It is no doubt true that Ameri-
cans feed their horses too much
hay. 1t is common among horse
owners to let horses stand to
full hangers when not at work.
But in London, the dab horses for
examples, are given hay for but
two hours a day, in the evening.
At the end of two hours the
managers are cleared. Careful
testing in decreasing the timo-
thy hay ration one-half has not
shown that the horses required
any. more grain than before to
keep them in equally good condi-
ton.
Horses do not need a heavy
ration Of alfalfa hay. Fed with
grain probably ten or fifteen
pounds Of it is equal to manger
full of other hay. AS they be-
come accustomed to the alfalfa
it may be increased a little, and
the grain decreased. It is a rich
food and should not be used as
freely as hays with less protein.
From Coburn's "The Book of
Alfalfa.

handling pick and shovel for
the good of your native land is
just the same as taking a gun or
sword and killing other men who
have a very dim idea of what
the quarrel is about. There may

Henry Milford, of Kentucky,
lost his wife last week and has
ordered a tombstone for her
bearing the epitaph. "She al

Just now Henry doesn't want to
be married again, but as soon as
he begins to sit up and take no
tice he will have to demonstrate
that he does not subscribe to the
sentiments on that tombstone.
Mrs. Jennie Kinnem, a refor-
mer, is demanding that every
city follow the example of Pitts
burg and identify it's perfect
men. We take it that the lady
has been married about four times
and has grown pessimistic.

Not the Generals Cow.

The first and the last duty of
a common soldier is to obey or
ders. Nor is he allowed to put
upon his orders a construction
that might suit cases not antici-
pated. This, however, some
times leads to amusing results, as
in an instance told by l.. A. Toll
.lemandle in his recent book, cold
and Odd Memories"
"The scene of one of my ia
theirs anecdotes was laid in a
southern seaport town, where
long ago a general and an admi-
raj were neighbors. The gen.
erals house was fronted by a
grass-plot, on which he claimed
the right to pasture a cow.
Zone day his wife complained
that the supply Of milk was fall
ing off. The sentinel accounted
for the deficiency by saying that
the grass had lately been much
trodden down by the public.
"The material despot imme-
diately gave orders that no ami
NAL. human or other, except the
cow, should be allowed on the
grass-plot, and he added men
were not particular in those days
that if this rule were infringed
the sentinel should be fiogged.
''Soon afterward the admiral's
wife, having a pressing engage.
ment, took a short cut over the
grass in disregard of the senti.

lady, don't you know who I am?

Don't die on third"

Parents oftentime wonder who
or what has ruined their boys.
They have been in school every
day, but the teacher either does
not teach them any morality or
else his teaching is a failure.
The truth is, the boys are on the
streets from the time school
closes until late at night. The
street corner is the best place in
the world for teaching vice,
pro1igacy and crime, nearly all
the bad language and idle, VIC
ious habits of boys are taught on

For Farmers.

When your fowls lay soft she'll
ed eggs, they should be fed a ra-
ton strong in lime.
It does not pay to grind food
for sheep. In fact, they do bet
ter when they grind their own.
No animal on the farm sue
cumbs so quickly to disease as
sheep, but they are not difficult
to keep healthy.
The poultry business is not
made up of a few big things
which we can do in a day, but of
little things which will never
cease to come up for our atten-
ton.
Dry quarters for the ducks and
geese to sleep in are absolutely
necessary. The fact that they
are water fowls does not mean
that they will thrive in damp
quarters.
'Scaly leg" is contagious as
well as an eyesore. Use coal oil
freely on their shanks. Thor
oughly mix coal oil, sulphur and
lard and apply it three times each
week until a cure is affected.
Pour a gallon of boiling water
over a pound of lime. When set
tied pour over eggs which you
have packed small end down in a
stone jar, and set in cool place.
1t is claimed the eggs will keep
three months.
It is we'll to work up from a
few good cows to many. When
the day for the many comes you
will know how to handle them
and how to get them.
1t is cheaper to keep the herd
up all the time than to neglect il
for a while and try later to bring
it back to condition. The COW
won't make up for lost time.
Look at the feet of your horses
now and then when out on the
road. Sometimes they will pick
up a stone between the sides Of
the shoes and may become lame
before you know it.
Have you been using a sheer
out of your own flock to head the
ewes for a long time? Better gc
off to some good flock that has
new blood in it and buy a nice
ram. The improvement in your
next years crop of lambs vii
more than pay for the same.

Don't Die On Third.

whatever you are, and however
you feel about it we want you to
read this Detroit has a baseball
club that has a habit of winning
games, and maybe this kind of
baseball editorial apeals to the
Detroit people more than other
people. At any rate it is good
stuff. Read it and think about
it.
1t makes no difference whether
you haven't reached first yet,
make up your mind that you
won't die on third. It's the
difference between success and
failure.
The hero of the incident relat-
ed is George Morality, of the
Detroit baseball team, who, in
stead of dying on third" with
two men out, beat the ball from
the pitchers hands to the catch
er's. But read for yourself the
presented, then ruminate in sill
ence and alone.
"All the worlds a baseball di-
amond" says the Detroit News.
''You are one of the players.
Perhaps you have reached first
by your own efforts. It may be
that the sacrifices of your parent
or friend have enabled you to
reach second. Then on some
ones 'long fly" into the bust
ness world "a ''dy" that was
not Tong" enough to prevent
him going out-or someone.
fiuke on the rules of simple NOR
atty and square dealing, you
have advanced to third. The
opposition against you a third
is stronger than at either first or
second. At third you are to be
reckoned with your opponents
converge all their attention on
you. Pitchers and catchers
coachers and opposing fans are
watching to tip off your plans
and frusirate them. From third
you become either splendid
success or a dismal failure.
Don't die on third!
What are you doing to win
the score that life is ready to
mark up against your name?
Third base has no laurels on
which you can rest. What are
you doing on third? Are you
waiting for someone to "bat you
in?" Suppose he misses; his miss
is yours, too. If you place all
your dependence on someone
else, his failure spells yours.
What are you doing on third?
Waiting for something to turn
up?" Bon't- nothing turns up,
but the thumbs of the thousands
OF men VINO watch you may turn
down, and make you a perma-
nent failure. Moriarity wouldn't
have scored or he waited, for
Mullin didn't hit the ball and
that run was absolutely neces-
sary to save the game. The run
was gained in an unreasonable
fraction of time, but the differ
ence between success and failure
is very, very often measured in
seconds.

Woman S Club Organized

Tuesdayafternoon some twenty
ladies of Lennon gathered at the
pleasant home of Mrs. G. D.
Smith, for the purpose of organ
izing a woman's club. In this
they were successful, organizing
the club under the name of the
Woman's Club of Lennon.
A plan of readings and studies
was outlined, but will not be
finally decided upon until the
next meeting. The theme will
probably be a history of Germany
and Scandinavia. A constitution
was adopted. Those present
nearly all joined, and as there is
| likelihood Of too great a member
ship for conducting the club, a
membership limit will probably
be set at the next gathering. The
ladies are determined to make
their club a success as we'll as q
power for good to the community
and mary there are who wish
them the highest success in their
plans.

Theopening of the North Dako-
ia agricultural college, at Fargo,
records the greatest number of
pupils yet at SO early d date,
within the history of this noble
institution. Time was, when the
college was first opened, with
meager quarters in the basement
of the Fargo college building,
that the institution we'll nigh had
to beg for students to come and
take advantage of it's benefits -
but that time has gone glimmer-
ing. The North Dakota farmer
has learned to realize that the
very best of education is just
exactly good enough for his
children as we'll as for the sue
cessful pursuit of the agricultural
calling.

The heavy shipments of stock
from western Dakotan points
along the Milwaukee are the
index of the end of ranching
through these parts. Ranchers
have given up the struggle for
range which they so valiently
have waged for the past three
years. Having no more range
left them, the inevitable had to
come. The honyak, the embat-
tied man with the hoe has won.
Stock will continue to be raised
in large number, but the process
will be by other practices than
prevailed heretofore. When it
once has been proved that by the
aid of tillage more feed can be
raised on a quarter than the
rancher could obtain on a couple
of sections, the old method must
yield to the new.

CHAPTER XXI.

The Man on the Frenchman.
Sinclair's place on the Frenchman
backed up on a sharp rise against the
foothills of the Bridger range, and the
ranch buildings were strung along the
creek. The ranchhouse stood on ground
high enough to command the country
for miles up and down the valley.
Only two roads lead from Medicine
Bend and the south into the French
man country; one a wagon road fol-
lowing Smoky creek and running
through Dale canyon; the other
pack road, known as the Gridley trail,
crossing the Topaz Topaz hills and
making short cut from the Dunning
ranch on the Crawling Stone to the
Frenchman. The entire valley is, in
fact, so difficult of access, save by the
long and roundabout wagon road, that
the sight of complete outfit of build
ings such as that put up by Sinclair
always came as a surprise to the trav-
eler, who, reaching the crest of the
hills, looked suddenly down 1000 feet
on his well-ordered sheds and barns
and corrals.
Over the Gridley trail from the
Crawling Stone Marion and Dicksie
Dunning rode early in the morning the
day after McCloud and his men left
the Stone ranch with their work done.
The trail is a good three hours long,
and they reached Sinclair's place at
about ten o'clock. He was waiting for
Morion-cba bod cont word che should
come-and he came out of the front
door into the sunshine with smile of
welcome when he saw Dicksie with
her. Dicksie, long an admirer of Sin
clair's, as women usually were, hid
recast somewhat violently her opin-
ions of him. She faced him now with
a criminal consciousness that she
knew too much. The weight of the
dreadful secret weighed on her, and
her responsibility in the issue Of the
day ahead did not help to make her
greeting an easy one. One thing only
was fixed in her mind and reflected
in the tension of her lips and her
eyes: The resolve to keep at every
cost the promise she had given. For
Dicksie had fallen under the spell of
a man even more compelling than Sim
clair, and felt strangely bounden to
what she had said.
Sinclair, however, had spirit enough
ment. Bachelors quarters" he ex-
planned roughly and pleasantly, as he
led the two women toward the house.
