CHAPTER XVI.
INTRODUCING Doctor Fairbaln.

Headed as they were, and having no
other special objective point in view, 1t
was only natural for the two fugitives
to drift into Sheridan. This was at that
time the human cesspool of the plains
country, a seething, boiling maelstrom
Of all that was rough, evil, and brazen
along the entire frontier. Customar-
lily quiet enough during the hours OF
daylight, the town became mad
saturnalia with the approach of dark
ness, it's ceaseless orgies being noisily
continued until dawn. But at this
period all track work on the Kansas
Pacific being temporarily suspended
by Indian outbreaks, the graders made
both night and day alike hideous, and
the single dirty street which COM
posed Sheridan, lined with shacks,
crowded with saloons, the dull dead
prairie stretching away on every side
to the horizon. was congested with
humanity during every hour of the
twenty-four.

ATTENTION FOR YOUNG COLTS
Nine Months 1t Never Attains
Full Maximum Growth.

In buying up colts about the neigh
borhood we have found that colt
that has been stunted during the first
nine months of it's life will never
make the maximum amount of growth
and that it will not attain the weight
of another from the same sire and
dam raised under more favorable con-
ditions, says a writer in the Horse
Breeder. The draft horse is an ami
NAL that natures early and makes
one-half of it's growth before it is II
months Of age. 1t is not unusual for a
draft colt to weigh 1900 pounds at
IL months, and, indeed, that is the
aim of many breeders. The extra care
and feed required to bring a colt up to
this weight amounts to little and is
far more than returned by the added
weight attained at maturity.
The young colt will begin to eat a
small amount of grain when little
more than a month Of age. Bran and
crushed oats make an excellent feed
to begin with when the colt is still
with it's dam.
There is a practice of allowing the
colt to run with it's dam at all times
Allowing the colt to suckle when the
mare is hot is likely to cause bowel
trouble and 1t is almost entirely i'm
possible to prevent this when the colt
is running by the side of the mare. 1t
is expecting too much to ask a young
colt to cover as many miles in a day
las the older animal covers. The colt
cannot make good gains under such
circumstances. 1t gets gaunt and
comes in at night with tagging head
and dropping spirits. The feed used
should serve other purposes than to
run off in following the mare. We
leave the colts in the barn during the
day, bringing the mares to the barn at
noon for the colts to suckle. The
mares get so they do not worry at all
while working, and at the same time
the colts can play about the barn and
grow.

Mr.. Man, when you so home at
night you like nothing better than to
get inside your smoking jacket and
slippers and rest. And when your
wife wants you to so with her some
where you are quite put out
But
Ask yourself What has the wife
been doing the long day. and whom
has she seen? The grocer boy, or the
iceman. or possibly the woman next
door. with whom she has exchanged
few words. She has scarcely been out
OF the house. while you have seen
many people and things.
She is made Of the same sort OF stuff
human stuff-as you.
In little town In Iowa a fine mid
die aged woman. devoted to her fam.
lily, went out one morning and set fire
to the barn. She died Il month later
in an asylum.
Too much to occupy her hands and
too little to occupy her mind" said the
doctor.
Do you see?
Her husband was a good man as
men so. But the wife. whose work
was never done and whose personality
held the family together. was sacriic'
ing every fiber OF her being as wife
and mother. and the husband did no,
see Her only diversion was church on
Sundays-when she could so.
You say the case Is an extreme one!
1t is. perhaps, but 1t may serve to give
you woman'S point of view.
Many a poor Wife. driven by never
ending tasks. lacking recrea ton. has
developed unrest. brooded and some
times died-or done foolish thing.
Do you wonder?
And II. added to her sense Of grind
ing monotony. there Is the sense OF
neglect or dtsesteem, what may yot
not expect?
Some day thing the husband never
dreamed OF happens. And he erie!

without change OF scene or break o
