CHAPTER Xxx.
Hope Goes to sheridan.

The discovery OF the locket which had
fallen from about Keith's neck made It
impossible for Hope 10 remain quietly
for long In the hotel at Fort Larned
The more carefully she thought over
the story OF that murder at the Chm
maron Crossing. and keith's tale of
how he had discovered and buried the
mutilated bodies, the more assured
she became that that was where this
locket came from. and that the slain
freighter must have been her own IA

truth OF Ksith's report; there was that
about the man which would not per

simply failed to mention what hs re-

would be of no special interest.
Mrs. Murphy. hoping thus TO quiet
tho apprehensions Of her charge. set
herself diligently at work TO discover
the facts. As her house was filled
with transients. including occasional
visitors from Carson City, and was
also lounging headquarters for many
of the officers from the nearby fort,
she experienced no difnculty in pick
ing up all the floating rumors. Out OF
these, with Irish shrewdness. she soon

VIII Reseed Idaho Forests

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 6.--More
than 100 men will be sent into the
Occur d'Alene national forest next
fall to gather fir and pine cones to
be used in reseeding the timber dis
tricts in northern Idaho, burned over
by fire year ago. The United States
forestry department Will make an
effort to gather 10000 pounds of
seeds, which are to be planted during
the spring and summer of 1912 The
department and timber protective
associations have more than 500 men
doing patrol duty in the Idaho forests
which are safe this season, according
to reports received by Albert L. Flew
cling, president of the western For
estry and Conservation association,
with headquarters in Spokane. The
recent rains have been general in
northern Idaho, eastern Washington
and Oregon and western Montana.
also in the boundary country, and 1t
is believed there Is no danger of
serious outbreaks this summer. Six
arrests and convictions for neglect
ing to extingulsh camp fires are re-
ported by wardens in the state of
Washington this season. The lumber
men are giving the state and fed
eral authorities every assistance and
as result of this strict virgil 1t Is
expected that several millions of dol
lars worth of timber will be saved
from destruction in the four states
this year. st

Fire Danger Eliminated

Wallace, Idaho, Aug. 6.-Heavy
rains falling continuously for nearly
seven hours throughout the Occur
d'Alene forest today put the finishing
touches on rapidly improving fire
situation and practically eliminated
the 1911 fire danger in this section of
north Idaho.
Today's rain follows daily showers
which began August /, after down
pour on July 81.
The total rainfall for the week just
past is more than two inches. Fores-
try officials today were optimistic in
their view of the future and are hap
by in the belief that serious fires In
the danger zone of last year are not
to be repeated.
At this time last year fires were at
their worst and were burning in ev-
cry section of the forest. The ground
was baked and the foliage dry. Today
the conditions are reversed. The veg
citation is rank and continues as
green as in early spring.

FEEDS AND FEEDING RATIONS
FOR POULTRY
Ii. l.. Blanchard, Assistant Supt. Puy-
allup Experiment Station

Ii we desire to make a flock of
hens produce eggs, we must give a
feed which contains producing ma
terial. To develop broiler within
eight weeks from the time of hatch
ing requires constant supply of
food which has the proper constit-
uent parts to produce rapid growth
of the chick. 1t follows then, that 1t
is highly essential that the poultry
man should know the component
parts of fowl, the component parts
of an egg, and the component parts
of the feed he is giving. A ration
should not be given chicken in a
hit or miss it" style, merely because
a fowl eats 1t readily. The poultry
man should know what is in the feed,
and knowing that, if he knows what
an egg or chicken is made of,
he should know whether or not to
feed It.
For instance, so per cent or slight
ly more, of the weight of hen is
water. Yet many poultrymen let the
drinking fountains go dry in the
evening A fowl if permitted to do
so, generally takes a good big drink
just before going to roost. Three and
one-half per cent of her weight is
ash. Twenty-four per cent is protein;
90 per cent or whereabouts, is fat.
Concerning fresh eggs, they con-
tain sc per cent of water; ash (the
shelD II per cent; protein, IL IL
per cent; fat, 3 per cent. This is ap-
proximately the component parts of
an egg. 1t follows very naturally
then, that if a hen is to lay she must
be given feed high In those ingred-
tents, Otherwise no matter how well
the laying strain" is developed the
hen cannot lay, simply because she
has not the ingredients with which to
produce an egg.
With this in mind, | would call at
tention to the following table show
ing certain percentages of digestihle
material in various feeds

Probate Matters
"Owed" to the DandeIion

(Bixby, in Wayne, Neb.. Herald)
One universal plant is known,
Throughout the earth, and one alone,
That lives and thrives in every cline,
And keeps on growing all the time
Its leaves are green, it's blossoms gold
It's roots sink deep and take firm hold
Upon the soil in every land.
In Russian forests far away,
Across the wales of old Cathay.
From Hindustan to Galilee,
On all the islands of the sea;
On Rocky mountains peaked with
snow,
From Halifax to Mexico,
In lava beds of Idaho,
The dandelions sprout and grow.
The yellow peril"-Pd rejoice
If it were really Hobson's choice,
For Hobson when he's frightened
sees
No object but the Japanese,
A million and a half, almost,
All headed for our western coast
To tear the stars and stripes to bits
And beat us up while we call quits
These dandelions are the chaps
That scare me worse than all the
Japs,
For when you kill Jap he's gone,
But dandelions keep right on
And blossom from the very clay
Where they were lately swept away
In vain we cry aloud for blood,
In vain we yield the knife and spud
This rugged plant will lift It's head
In golden bloom when we are dead.
This is the peril" I declare
To be a permanent affair.
Yet will brave women and strong
men
Beard dandelions in their den,
Give mangled roots and tops flip,
And say words that they ought to
skip
In efforts to eradicate
, The nuisance from every state.
Like schemes for gratis In politics,
You may subdue. not kill it.-Bix

Boone Residence Sold

Palouse, Wash, Aug. 6.-The II.
M. Boone residence in this city, one
of the assets of the defunct Palouse
State Bank, of which Boone was a
former president, was sold yesterday
at receivers sale to Andrew Lynd,
a wealthy farme r east of Palouse,
for $1S45. The house, which was
built four years ago by Mr.. Boone
for home, represents a cost of
SIS, 900 or more. 1t was admitted to
be the most elaborate home in the
city. One reason for the low price was
the fact that the property was sold at
receivers sale, while another was
that the house was too large and ex-
pensive to keep up for the ordinary
family. The court instructed the re-
ceiver, George G. Jewett, that he
would approve the sale for $500 or
over. Bids were received.
Previous to the failure of the bank,
II. M. Boone had paced the deed for
his home, with the deed for land on
the Columbia river, which he had TAX
en- in exchange for bank stock, in es-
crow for security for funds used at
the time the capital stock of the bank
was increased, as shown in the trial
of Boone more than a year ago. The
Palouse residence and the land thus
went into the hands ofthe receiver
after the failure of the bank, which
took place in May, 1909.

Feeds Used for Poultry

Observe that red clover contains
6.5 per cent of protein, "a 8 per cent
carbohydrates, and 1.6 per cent fat.
Observe that alfalfa analyses little
higher than clover: 7.6 per cent pro-
tein, 81 per cent carbohydrates, and
1.3 per cent fat. Corn is about the
same as alfalfa in protein. Observe
also that corn contains 62.17 per
cent carbohydrates. If you desired
to fatten fowls, you would therefore
feed corn naturally. On the other
hand observe that linseed zeal con-
tains PIP per cent of protein and
meat scraps 68.4 protein. An egg Is
about IL per cent protein. Naturally,
then, If you need to produce eggs
meat scraps, linseed meal and bran
Q2.6 per cent protein) should be in
cluded in the ration Wheat contains
carbohydrates, and 1.8 per cent fat,
and is not only fattening food, but
also a good muscle-building food.
Oats containing 44.7 per cent carbo-
hydrates is not as good a fattening
food as wheat or corn. Bran is high
in protein and is not of much use for
fattening. Skinned milk analyses
well and is an excellent food for poul-
try.
We realize that by far the larger
percentage of people have small
f1ocks, say two or three dozen hens
and the rations here given for small
| fiocks are very good in our expert
ence, but do not take into consider
| alton the table scraps, which can be
used very adyantageously where we
! desire to make the expense as light as
possible. We would take all the table
scraps and put them together in a
vessel of convenient size, and once
every day, or every two or three
days which ever suits cook the stuff
for the chickens. Milk is good tC
mix with the scraps. If you do not
have milk then cook them In water
This plan will cut down the expense
materially.
On the other hand, table scraps
may be fed with unsatisfactory re-
suits. have seen people who throw
out the scraps without preparing
them. Then they might throw some
wheat, or other cereal, without TAX
ing into consideration the egg-pro
ducing properties of either the graiI
or the scraps. By referring to an an
alyses of the food-stuffs one car
easily learn approximately the egg
producing properties of the meat
scraps, or other discarded food which
composes the table scraps. Whatever

other words, the table scraps should
