DR.. I. Jundell and a medical student
named Fries have made some inter.
esting observations with regard to the
action Of the internal organs Of sports.
men while they are engaged in violent
exertion Of some kind. Their obser-
vations included no less than 165
sportsmen at 2S5 races and other com.
petitive games requiring the most
strenuous exertion. The medical
profession is well aware Of the fact
that unusual quantities Of albumen
and SO called cylinders are apt to
appear in the urine as result of vio-
lent bodily exertion, and this phen.
omenon was studied most closely by
the above named authorities. They
soon found that a distinct line must
be drawn between short spurts, as .
feur-hundred yard dash, and an en-.
durance trial like the Marathon races.
In competitions Of the former kind.
such as cycling, boxing runnig, etc.,
albumen and cylinders always appear
In the urine, while struggles lasting
for hours the urine of the competitors
shows very little or not even a trace
Of albumen and cylinders. It Is
worthy Of special note that in the
case Of the latter kind of sports there
is albumen and cylinders in the urine
at the start, but they gradually disap-
pear as the performance proceeds. AS
to the action Of the heart the investi-
gators did not limit their observations
to the frequency of the pulse, etc., but
they took numerous Rontgen ray pho
tographs of the heart. Contrary to the
old theory, the heart was found to d.
minish in size during the exercises.
This fact is SO surprising that the in
vestigators did not want to commit
themselves to any definite explana-
tion. DR.. Jundell, however, said that
the diminution of the size of the
heart might be due to an increased
pressure Of the heart on the one
hand, and reduction of the flow of
blood to the heart on the other.

Pintseh OIL For Gophers.
In Colorado prairie dogs have been
destroyed with bisulphide of carbon
gas In manner similar to the expert
ment tried in Minnesota at Univer-
sity Farm on pocket gophers. Recently
the Colorado Station has tried, with
wonderful success, Pintsch ola BY
product Of the Pintsch gas used for
lighting trains. It has been used in
the same manner az bisulphide Of car
bon is used, with equally fatal results
on the prairie dog. It is assumed in
Minnesota that II Pintsch oil fumiga-
tion is destructive of prairie dog life
in Colorado it ought to be equally 30
in Minnesota with pocket gophers, and
the Minnesota Experiment Station
probably will experiment with it. This
oil is only half as expensive az BIZ
sulphide of carbon, according to the
Colorado report, and can be procured
at railroad centers where there is a
Pintsch gas factory. Only half as much
Of it is required to kill a prairie dog
In his burrow as Of bisulphide.

ocours In Pigs.

ocours In Pigs.
The Minnesota Experiment Station
at St.. Anthony Park has found the
cause Of scours in little pigs to come
largely from over and irregular feed
ing, together with sudden changes in
food. The little pig is greedy and its
stomach and -1ntestines are compare
lively small. The digestive juices de-
compose the food and turn it into a
milky. soupy condition from which the
digested material must be assimilated,
or it must be pushed through the in
testines. When an excess of food is
given the overplus must be passed
along with the indigestible matter in
the faces. The faces are thin, soft
and watery, and the animal is scour-
Ing. Securing pigs are not economical
pork producers.
Lighter feeding is the remedy rather
than drugs. Sudden changes in the
ration should be avoided, but the
amount Of food should be gradually
Increased from day to day in proper
ton with the pigs development.

About one o'clock the wind fresh

and from the west marched a storm
with banners of lightning. It was a

doors only when the rain began to

watched it from our windows after

The faculty at the college and school
of agriculture at st. Anthony Park, is
already preparing for the Farmers
Short Course next winter, when q
much larger attendance is anticipated
than ever in the past. Last winters
course brought nearly two hundred and
fifty farmers to the Experiment sta
tion. Facilities were over-crowdod.
The dining room, originally intended
for the accommodation of four hundred
people, last winter had to accommo-
date about twelve hundred. Without
the short course difficulty was expe-
rienced in taking care of the school
and college.
Prof. Mayne is having the base
ment of the dining hall reconstructed

next winter. He will also reconstruct
the systems of instruction so that
classes will be promptly and syste-

Bacon Hogs.-The Experiment Sta
ton at Grand Rapids is raising bacon
hogs-Improved Yorkshire, and prac-
tees having their sows farrow in
March and April. The pigs are turned
into clover pasture when from six
to eight weeks old, and are fed little
shorts and milk. In September barley
and peas are added to their ration,
and for two months they are fed all
they will eat. They reach prime con-
ditipn about the first of November and
weigh from 130 to $50 pounds. In the
local market the price the past three
years has averaged eight and a half
cents per pound. The cost of pro-
duction has been estimated by Supt.
Mcclure to be four and one-half cents
a pound. Good housing. early farrow-
ing clover pasture, skim milk, barley,
shorts and peas, easily obtained with
little expense, make a good profit in

CHAPTER XIV,
Daybreak,

Daybreak.
At midnight Gillespie and I discussed
the days affairs on the terrace at
Glenarm. There were long pauses in
our talk. Such things as we had seen
and heard that night, in the canoe
makers shop on the little creek, were
beyond our poor range of words. And
in the silences my own reflections
were not wholly happy. If Miss Pat
and Rosalind had not followed mo to
the canoe-maker's I might have spared
Helen; but looking back, I would not
change it now if I could. Helen had
returned to st. Agatha's with her aunt,
who would have it so; and We had
parted at the school door, Miss Pat
and Helen, Gillespie and I, with re-
straint heavy upon us all. Miss Pat
had, it seemed, summoned her lawyer
from New York several days before, to
discuss the final settlement of her ia.
Tiers estate; and he was expected the
next morning. had asked them all
to Glenarm for breakfast; and Arthur
Holbrook and Rosalind, and Henry,
who had broken down at the end, had
agreed to come.
AS We talked on, Gillespie and I,
there under the stars, he disclosed,
all unconsciously, new and. surprising
traits, and felt my heart warming to
him.
Hes good deal of a man, that
Arthur Holbrook," he remarked after
long pause. Hes beyond me- The
man who runs the enemy's lines to
bring relief to the garrison, or the
leader Of forlorn hope, is tame after

him fool"
"Undoubtedly," I answered. "But
he didn't do it for the world; he did
it for himself. We can't applaud
thing like that in the usual phrases"
NO." Gillespie added; "only get
down on our knees and bow our
heads in the dust before it,
He rose and paced the long terrace.
In his boat-shoes and white flannels
he glided noiselessly back and forth,
like ghost in the star dusk. He
paused at the western balustrade and
looked off at st. Agatha's. Then he
passed me and paused again, gazing
lakeward through the wood as though
turning from Helen to Rosalind; and
l knew that it was with her, far over
the water, in the little cottage at Red
Gate, that his thoughts fingered. But
when he came and stood beside me
and rested his hand on my shoulder

him to make it easier.

ment of Agriculture, shows the ship
ment of car of stock every week and
the receipt by the farmers cooperating
of the entire proceeds of the shipment,
except small commission honestly
earned by, and paid to, the manager
for going with the stock and doing the
business. The Club also maintains a
seed exchange at Litchfield where
the farmers can procure home grown
seed. The social features are also
means of promoting the greatest har-
mony among the people of the neigh
borhood.
Dassel has a club that has recently
tested one hundred and fifty head Of
cattle for tuberculosis. It maintains
a system of cow-testing for milk pro-
duction. Every cow entered has cor
rect ration worked out for her every
month according to Prof. Hackers
standard. More than three hundred
COWS are in this association. Cooper
alton is also practiced in buying sup
plies and selling produce. The social
and business features are attracting
new members. Crop rotation, soil fer
tility, better care of stock are among
the subjects of frequent discussion, and

Narrowing corn is not recommended,
but if farmers persist in this practice,
it should be done when the corn is dry.
It is then less tender and not so liable
to be broken down. Narrowing should
not be done when the land is wet and
weather cold. Care must be exercised
not to thin out the stand when har-
rowing. If the ground is lumpy, full of
old corn stalks or rubbish narrowing
is even more undesirable than on gosd
land.

II will hear what you have to say,
Arthur" said Miss Pat; and I knew
that there was no arresting the tide.
I snatched out the sealed envelope and
turned with it to Arthur Holbrook;
and he took it into his hands and
turned it over quietly, though his
hands trembled.
"Tell me the truth, gentlemen"-
and Miss Pats voice thrilled now with
anger.
''Trickery, more trickery; those
were stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen
ry, his eyes on the envelope; but we
we're waiting for the canoe-maker to
speak, and Henry's words rang empti-
ly in the shop.
Arthur looked at his brother; then
he faced his sister.
Henry is not guilty." he said,
calmly.
He turned with quick gesture and
thrust the envelope into the flame of
one of the candles; but Helen sprang
forward and caught away the blazing
packet and smothered the flame be-
tween her hands.

in a tone of triumph; and I knew then
how completely she had believed in

II wish Aunt Pat to open the en-

Henry turned look of appeal upon
his brother; but Miss Pat took the
envelope from Helen and tore it open;
and we stood by as though we waited
for death or watched earth fall upon a
grave. She bent down to one of the
candles nearest her and took out the
notes, which were wrapped in a sheet
of legal cap. A red seal frightened in
the light, and we heard the slight rat
tie Of the paper in her tremulous fin
gers as she read. Suddenly a tear
flashed upon the white sheet. When
she had quite finished she gathered
Gillespie's statement and the notes in
her hand and turned and gave them
to Henry; but she did not speak to
him or meet his eyes. She crossed to
where Arthur stood beside me, his
head bowed, and as she advanced he
turned away; but her arms stole over
his shoulders and she said ARTHUR"
once, and again very softly.
II think" she said, turning toward
US all, with her sweet dignity, her
brave air, that touched me as at first
and always, beyond any words of mine
to describe, but strong and beautiful
and sweet and thrilling through me
now, like bugles blown at dawn; II
think that we do we'll, Arthur, to give
Henry his money"
" And now it was Arthur's voice that
rose In the shop; and it seemed that
he spoke of his brother as of one who
was afar off. We listened with pain
full intentness to this man who had suf-
fered much and given much, and who
still. in his simple heart, asked no
ezatse for what he had done.

important to remember that some of
the most profitable food is clover pas
ture and skim milk. Expensive grains

noted for its large litters and strong
constitution. The brood sows are
wintered on second crop Of clover,
boiled roots, skim milk and half a
pound each of grain daily. They are
comfortably housed with access to a
yard in the day time. Exercise is an
important element in their care. The
sows are bred in December, farrow in
March or early April, and raise but
one litter year. The Station keeps
the good mothers as long as they are
productive-from four to six years.
Only brood sows are carried through
