He rode pickaback on q

ears had been pierced and stretched
until one had torn out. while the other
carried circular block Of carved wood
three inches in diameter. The torn
ear had been pierced again, but this
time not so ambitieusly, for the whole
accommodated no more than short
clay pipe. The man-horse was greasy
and dirty and naked save for an ex-
ceedingiy narrow and dirty loin cloth,
but the white man chung to him close
" and desperately. At times from
weakness his head dropped and rested
on the woolly pate. At other times he
lifted his head and stared with swim
ming eyes at the cocoanut palms that
reeled and swung In the shimmering
heat. he was clad in q thin under
shirt and a strip of cotton cloth that
wrapped about his waist and descend
ed TO his knees. On his head was a
battered Stetson, known to the trade
as a ~Baden.PowelI." About bis mid
die was strapped belt, which carried
a large calibered automatic pistol and
several spare clips, loaded and ready
for quick work.

coanuts that threw no shade. There
was not a breath OF wind. and the
superheated, stagnant air was heavy
with pestilence. From the direction
they were going arose wild clamcr,
as OF lost souls wailing and Of men in
torment. A long. low shed showed
ahead, grass walled and grass
matched, and It was from here that
the noise proceeded. There were
shrieks and screams. some unmistak-
ably Of grief. others Enthusiastically of
uncomfortable pain. As the white man
drew closer he could hear low and
continuous moaning and grooming. He
shuddered at the thought OF entering,

EGGS
EGGS
Eggs Should Be Packed In Neat Cases.

that the merchant is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second, and
oy far the greatest reason, is because
Of ignorance on the part of the farm
er as to what and how to sell eggs.
When the hens on the farm are
producing enough eggs to warrant the
farmers taking them to town, ar
rangements should be made to handle
all of them properly. A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat
lral tendency Of a hen is to go of
IN the weeds and make her nest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found in such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean, fresh eggs are
battered they should be put in
clean, dry, cool place until marketed.
Even though the place is clean and
cool, If 1t is not dry, molds, ETC., will
commence development and the eggs
will soon spoil. If the eggs become
damp and they happen to be in con-
tact with any colored material they
will Immediately become stained.
Good egg cases in cool, dry, clean
place, kept up off of the floor make
an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous to marketing.
Before these eggs are set aside for
market, they should be gone over by
the farmer as he collects them, and
all small stained, dirty, doubtful, in
cubator and rotten eggs should be
removed. Small and dirty eggs, II
used Immediately, are just as good as
large clear ones, but they will not
sell well on the market, and If sent
In with good eggs will spoil the trade.
| Therefore, they should be kept and
used at home. No eggs should be
washed, for the packers claim they
will not keep WELL All eggs from
stolen nests, whose freshness is doubt
full, and all incubator eggs should
either be thrown away, boiled for the
! little chicks or used at home. They
should never be sent to market. Rot
| ten eggs need not be discussed. Any
person who will send one to market
deserves all the penalty possible from
the pure-food law.
When eggs have been properly
gathered, handled and kept previous
to taking to market, the question
of the number of trips to town should
be considered. In hot weather the
eggs should be marketed two or three
times per week, and oftener If pos
sible. If that number of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with neighbor
and have him alternate days in the
trips which must be made.
In the fall and spring eggs should
be marketed at least once a week
Many buyers have had trouble in No
yember with eggs classed as held
eggs" These are common, because
most farmers believe that after frost
eggs will not rot so quickly, but never
theless they do evaporate and the all
cells in them show the Gambler that
they are stale.
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed, the greater are the chances
that they will be good.

Most of the forests in the United
States are privately owned. Approx
imately 20 per cent. of the standing
timber b the country is held by the
federal government in national for

domain, and by the states in the state
reserves or other state lands. These
public forests contain more than 1OO,-
