CHAPTER XIV.

Mrs. Prynne, reused out of her semi,
stupor by O'Rourke's cry, with some
return of her habitual cIearness of
thought, stepped to the co]mpanionway
and called for her maid.
O'Rourke passed a hand over his
eyes, and brought 1t away black with
blood, but was no more than half

So he turned and staggered down into
the saloon.
Danny was in his berth, sleening the
childltk- and loglike sleep that was
ever his. DraVos, below, his ears deaf.

gines, had been no more conscious of
the drama on deck than had DANNY.

tasks O'ROurke set for him. With Co.

and bore him down to his berth, then
left him to the ministrations of mis-
tress and maid and returned to throw

Stay the ~adyenturer from behind.
OROurke himself proceeded to the
bridge, where he found the helmsman
still at the wheel, soberly keeping the
vessel on her course. The clrcum-
stance at the time surprised him; but
it afterwards was developed by dint
of cross-examination Of the remainder

battle, whether for or against his
brethren. The stabbing Of Quick
seemed to have been accidental, or
necessary under circumstances unfOre,
seen.
AS a matter Of fact, the remainder
of the lascars were thoroughly COwed
and proved unbelievably docile for the
balance of the trip.
Thus it was that the voyage Of the
Rance from Alden to Bombay was
pushed through without further fatal
ity. To the Irishman, however, must
go more than half the credit; for for
ty-eight hours he never left the bridge
nor once closed his eyes in slumber.

PROFITS IN DAIRYING
Business Is Comparatively New
in Southwest Section.
Extensive Market offered for Products
in Newly Settled Regions and De.
v]slopment Of the Industry
Is Urgently Needed.

In much OF the southwest cattle
raising for beef has long been the
principal business, but dairying Is
comparatively new. There Ia an ex-
tensiye market. however, for dairy
products, and especially IN the newly
settled regions II ia found that the
dairy Industry fills such a place In
agricultural economy that its develop
ment Is urgently needed.
In addition, a special enterprise has
been undertaken with creamery pa
irons in some states, the object being
to determine whether It will pay
creameries to carry on the same sort
OF work among their W farmer pa
irons for the sake Of getting a better
quality Of cream as material for max.
ing butter. Here also record keeping
has been introduced, along with other
improved methods, and the effort is
made to discover the leaks that reduce
profits.
In the older states Of the north
dairying Is already an established and
highly developed industry, Cow-testing
associations are societies for cooper.
atlng in the keeping Of herd records by
engaging a mar who goes from farm
to farm periodically, makes observa-
tons and keeps records for the herds
of all the members Of the association,
BY this means records are secured
without the trouble or expense in
volved when each man keeps them for
himself; and IN various other ways
the cooperation OF tho farmers is pro
ductlve Of profit. The primary objects
are to detect and weed out inferior

OF the individual COW and the total
productivencss Of the herd. There are
oIghty-hve c~ow-testing associations
now in twenty states, comprising 49,

Water for Poultry.

The water supply for poultry should
be the very best. Fresh water In
clean, uncontaminated vessels should
be kept constantly within reach OF the
chickens or all kinds OF poultry, espe-
cialiy during the hot weather. Good
well water is preferable to running
surface water. Protected earthenware
vessels or any form Of water vessel
should be 80 constructed that 1t can
be cleaned; In fact, II should be clean
ed daily with boiling hot water.

three months testing he was making
a profit Of $32 a month on the herd,
and at the end Of the year his profit
has Increased to $50 a month. This
notable Increase was due largely to
tho sale Of five Of his poorest COWS,
and the purchase OF as many well-pro
ducing ones to take their places. In
addition, there were changes made
in the method Of feeding, which con
