Seattle's graft investigation, be-
gun by Acting Mayor Wardall and
now in the hands of a committee of
the city council, is not making much
progress, but is serving to advertise
Seattle as the wickedest city in the
country, reputation which is being
spread more by the reformers than
by the present administrator, which
was going along peaceably and keep
ing quiet. Seattle may not be a
model city, but she is probably not
half so black as she is being painted.
The charge Of graft against the
police force has not yet been sub
stantiated. An effort is being made
to use the recall provision Of the
city charter on Mayor Hiram Gill.
The recall has never been used in
Seattle, or in fact anywhere in the
Northwest, and the result of this
effort will be interesting. Friends
of the mayor declare that he has
broken no promises and violated no
statutes, and that his enemies are
simply trying to revive the issues of
the campaign, which were settled
by his election last spring
The eyes of the fruit raising com

SECOND GROWTH OF CLOVER
Excellent Profit in Lambs II Put on
This Pasture Late In FaII-Rape
Is Cheap Forage.
(By B. TAZEWELL WHITLEY

(By B. TAZEWELL WHITLEY
There is an excellent profit in pas.
turing lambs on second growth clover
for two months in the fall before put
ting them on grain rations for fat
tening.
Gains can be made on good pasture
as low as one cent pound in this
way and that is cheap feeding.
Wether lambs can be had at reason
able prices. They can be turned into
very good profit on all of the farms
that have clover pasture or alfalfa.
Ii put on second growth clover along
in late August or September for two
months and then fed alfalfa and corn
or alfalfa alone they should put on
from 40 to so pounds before going to
the Christmas market.
Many farmers sell their lambs half
fat because they cut second crop
clover for seed or leave it for other
stock during late fall and early winter
months. There is certainly more
money in pasturing lambs than in
selling clover seed and if the second
crop is kept for winter pasture about
half its value is lost.

FRESH AIR IN MODERN BARN
Necessary Part Of Producing Profit
able Live Stock That Animals
Be Given Good Care.

The modern farm animal is an arti
f1cial product that has been developed
by the skill and intelligence of the
breeders. It is a necessary part of
the operation of producing profitable
live stock that suitable care be given
them, but In seeking to accomplish
this 1t is frequently overdone. In or

v1gor, and producing powers, whether
it be of beef, pork or milk, farm ami
mails should be so housed that they
Will not suffer from stress of weather
on the one hand, or from lack of ven
tilation on the other, says the Kansas
Farmer. The average farm barn is SO
constructed that 1t shuts up too tight
ly, and when a cold snap approaches
the farmer, In his zeal to care for his
profit making animals, will close the
doors and windows against the bliz-
zard, but in doing this he closes them
against ventilation as we'll. 1t is diff
f1cult to understand how one could
expect a cow to maintain her health
and produce full flow of wholesome
milk, in barn which is badly ventila-
ted by reason Of being closed too
tightly or of being so open that it is
subject to drafts and consequent sud,
den changes in temperature.
Perhaps the best system of barn
ventilation which has ever been de-
vised, and the only one which does
its work perfectly, is that illustrated
in the accompanying drawing. Very
little extra labor or material is neces-
sary to secure a perfect system of
ventilation, which will carry away all
Of the foul odors of the stable and at
the same time supply the animals
with plenty of fresh, wholesome air,
without subjecting them to killing
currents. One of the great secrets Of
success in live stock raising is to
keep the animal comfortable. This

There was slight pause before the
last two words. Roger took the box,
staring blankly at the girl. She was
well dressed, petite, with frank gray
eyes and masses of dead-black hair.

She turned and re-entered the room
from which she had emerged.
Roger thrust the box into his
pocket and went slowly down the
stairs. He had arrived at Pine Bay,
a summer resort on one of the great
lakes, but two hours before. Thus far
he had met no one at the hotel whom
he knew. What was the meaning of
the girls strange errand?
He had hardly finished his dinner

With her was a pretty blonde maiden

chaperon and genial, middle-aged
