perfectly safe to leave him in charge.
Let US say no more about it. Very
well, said his friend, but when, at the
end of two hours, Squire Lawson took
his leave, the Quaker shut his office
and accompanied the squire to the
place where he had left his equipage

Improving Live STICK.

Too little attention is given to the i'm
provement of our breeds of live stock.
The simplest and least expensive method
of improving our stock is the grading up
process. This requires only a pure-bred
male. Many farmers who are not able to
purchase females can afford to own regis
| tered sires. Others who are unable to
buy such sires can secure the services of
such animals at nominal cost.
No farmer who can secure the service
of a registered boar for his scrub sows, of
pure bred stallion and bull for his mares
and cows should fail to take advantage of
it. Remember that the male is half the
herd when it comes to improving stock
Why continue to raise razor-back hogs
tat weigh IS pounds at fifteen months,
when by breeding your sows to regis
tered Berkshire boar. you can raise pigs
that will weigh IFS pounds at ten months

ALPINE LAKES VANISHING
Same Drying Up Process Is to Be
Noted in Many Other Mountain.
Gus Regions.

The gradual drying up of mountain
lakes in arid regions like parts of the
Rocky mountains, western Siberia and
Turkestan is accompanied, the latest
statistics say, by the disappearance of
numbers of the smaller Alpine lakes
or their shrinkage in size to mere
ponds. Within a hundred years the
number of Alpine lakes has dwfndied
from 3,278 to 2.466.
The same drying up process is no
ticed in other mountainous regions of
medium elevation and normal rainfall
such as the Reisengebirge on the Aus
tro-German frontier and the Austrian
Tatra. Not fewer than 118 lakes in
the Tyrolese Alps alone have com
pletely vanished and even in the lower
BaVarian and Thuripgian hills there
are fewer lakes now than generation
ago.
There are various theories concern
Ing this drying up process; the con
slant erosion of the beds of mountain
streams and the percolation of water
INTO subterranean channels are the
most generally accepted explanations
Vegetation on the lake bottom is re
'ponsible in many cases for the dry
ng up of the lower lying meres.
