offered. incidentally he kept his eyes
open for the opportunity.
The milk and butter prospect for the
Inland Empire WAS rather scant when
Love began to follow his dairy no
ton. But he saw ahead to the time
when Spokane would be big city and
the scattered Palouse settlements
would expand into thriving eerters of
population and trade. So he reached
out constantly for cows and saw to
it that he gol hold of pure blood stock

ter Of capital entirely either. for Love
was barely able to finance Il single
COW in the beginning. II was more u
matter of management than money.
In the course of his evolution as 4
milk and butter man Love adopted
the principle of keeping and breeding
only from COWS that produced two
pounds of butter daily. The rule was
an excellent one, but he has since
found that money can be made IN
this country by keeping COWS that
produce 400 pounds of butter annuallE.
He operates his milk herd on that
basis with a reserve supply OF heliefs
always handy.
At first. and for a good manN years
Love wintered his cows on dry iced.
This was especially true of the lss5
period. when no prudent COW or man
either would kick on any kind OF Iced
that would ill IN. but in late years
he has established 4 silo. BY praetl-
cal experience he learned that lie
would winter two COWS ON ensilage
from the same amount of land for
merlv required for one In the same
school Of practical experience he
learned also that 40 pounds of en-
silage per day to the COW with light
feed Of alfalfa, balanced by ration
of ground eats WAS about the right
proportion to insure the maximum of
milk. There isn't much in COW char
arter that Love overlooked in his
wears Of developing his dairy amhi-
tinn. He went at it to make bust
ness out of it.

Publications.

The varied and practical activi-
ties of the Department of Commerce
and Labor and its IA constituent
bureaus and services are reflected in
the number and diversity Of publica-
lions the department issues annually.
These reach, through two great art
cries of distribution, the mails and the
freight trains, practically every class
OF people in the country, from the inn
n igrant, just landed, to the captains of
Industry.
In this respect the Department Of
Commerce and Labor occupies among
the executive departments of the Gov
ernment a conspicuous position as a
publisher of periodicals. This distinc-
tor grows out of the fact that the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor is
required by law TO promote the COM
merce of the United States and its
mining, manufacturing, shipping. fish
cry. transportation, and labor inter
ests.

The increase in the number of re-

ness Wayne is taken for Federal of
ficer and a young lady on horseback is
given in his charge. She Is northern
girl and attempts to escape. One of the
horses succumbs and Craig goes through
with the dispatches, while Wayne and MY
Lady of the North are left alone. They
seek shelter in a hut and entering 1t In
the dark a huge mastif attacks. Wayne
The girl shoots the brute Just in time:
The owner Of the hut, Jed Bungay, and
his wife appear and soon party OF
horsemen approach They are led by, a
man claiming to be Red Lowrie, but VINO
proves to be Maj Brennan, Federal
officer whom the Union girl recognizes.
He orders the arrest of Wayne as spy
and he Is brought before Sheridan, who

veals the secret message. Wayne believes
Edith Brennan TO be the wife of Maj.
