Three-quarters OF an hour slipped
by, then, piercing the silence, Murrell
heard shrill whistle; 1t was twice
repeated; he saw Bess go down to
the landing again. A half-hour
elapsed and man issued from the
scattering growth Ct bushes that
screened the shore. The newcomer
crossed the clearing and entered the
cabin. He was young fellow OF
twenty-four or five, whose bronzed
face wore reckless expression.

The next morning it was discovered
that some time during the night the
Judge had tackled his anonymous COM

Just below 1t was another sheet OF pa

.
Tom Ware was seated alone over
his breakfast He had left his bed
as the pale morning light crept across
the great fields that were alike his
pride and his despair-what was the
use of trying to sleep when sleep was
an impossibility! He was about to
quit the table when big Steve en-
tered the room to say there was a
white fellow at the door.
Fetch him along in here" said
Ware.
The white fellow delivered a pen
SLED note from Murrell. When he
was gone, the planter ordered his
horse.
AS Ware rode away from Belle
Plain he cursed Murren under his
breath. His own inclination toward
evil was never robust: he could have
connived over long period of years
to despoil Betty OF her property, but
murder and abduction was quite an
other thing.
Three miles from Belle Plain he en-
tered a bride path that led toward
the river. A growth of small timber
was standing along the waters edge,
but as he drew nearer, those better
ments which the resident OF. that
lonely spot had seen tit to make for
his own convenience, came under his
scrutiny; these consisted of q log
cabin and several lesser sheds.
Landing, he advanced toward the
cabin. AS he did so he saw two wom-
en- at work heckling fax under an
open shed. They were the wife and
daughter Of George Hicks, his over
seer's brother.
Morning, Mrs. Hicks" he said, adj
dressing himself to the mother, a
hulking rufian Of woman. ANY

Colonel Fentress is"
'Humph!" muttered Ware. He
moved to the door OF the cabin and
entered the room where MurreIl and
Fentress were seated facing each
other across the breakfast table.
well. what the devil do you want
Of me, anyhow" demanded the
planter.
"HOw's your sister, Tomf" inquired
Murrell.
Il reckon She's the way you'd ex-
pact her to be-" Ware dropped his
voice to q whisper.
"John, you'll ruin yourself with
YOur damned crazy infatuation!" 1t
was Fentress who spoke.

GOOD TYPE OF A DRAFT HORSE.

point in the farmers mind in favor of
draft horses. With drivers it takes
months of steady training to fit one of
them for market OF even for regular
use. The farmer has neither time nor
desire to fret and fuss with an animal
in the way that is necessary in break
ing driver. That is a work for a man
of special ability who will make a
business of producing and training
driving horses. The practical farmer
knows that it will be best and more
profitable for him to stick to the steady
drafter.
OF course men are meeting with va
rying degrees of success in the raising
of draft horses. Some produce horses
that are mere nondescripts, while 9TH
ers are producing big, useful ones that
would be popular on any market. A
study of their methods and practices
to determine the reason for the differ
ence is suggestive. In the first place
the more successful ones are in nearly
all cases the men who have taken up
the work as 4 business, men who have
made a study of it in every phase
from breeding to marketing. They are
men who have made themselves good
judges of horses. Then, having an
ideal of a good horse in mind, they
have bred to produce such an animal.
In so doing they have ever stuck to
one breed Not only that, but more.
they have always stuck to some cer-
tain type within that one breed. They
have kept their best mares and sold
the inferior ones.
The business of raising pure breds is
growing rapidly. Men operating small
farms are buying pairs Of pure bred
mares of some Of the popular draft
breeds. They are working those mares
and are succeeding admirably with
them. Men who own and operate large
areas are going into the business on an
extensive scale, and there is no line Of
live stock that is more profitable.

THE NEW GARDEN PLOT.
Practical Suggestions That Will Be
Found of Value.

Where a garden has been used con-
stantly for years or where the trees
that naturally creep into the plot sup
posed to be devoted exclusively to
vegetables are getting too large for
convenience in cultivation it is advis-
able to begin several years in advance
to get new garden ready, and fall is
the ideal season for this work, says the
Country Gentleman. The new location
should be convenient to the house, sun
ny. we'll drained and of as good soil as
possible. At least two seasons should
be spent in getting it into shape.
If possible choose an old sod loca ton
and cover it thickly with we'll rotted
manure. If it is not fenced the stock
will not bother it much. for they dis
like the fresh, tender grass that comes
up through the manure and will not
eat it unless forced to do so. The fall
rains and bright sunshine will bring
| up fine crop of grass that should be
turned under before frost and another
application of manure made. II the
ground is not narrowed the sod rots
little faster in some sections, but
good results can be had by thoroughly
cutting the roots to pieces and then
| top dressing literally. The SHOWS and
rains of winter do their part, and in
spring the soil is mellow and fertile
Even when it is not absolutely neces-
sary to find q new location for the gar
den 1t pays to rest the old one season
or two. Planting the ground to some
| crop foreign to the soil will often re-
new and help it wonderfully, while the
vegetables in the new garden will help

Re-enforcina Stable Manure.

By keeping the stable manure under
cover and reinforcing it with forty
pounds of floats or acid phosphate to
each ton of manure the Ohio expert
ment station has succeeded in increas-
ing the net value of the manure from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton. And yet prob
ably 70 per cent of all the manure pro-
duced in Ohio is thrown into an open
barnyard, where at least 80 per cent
of the plant food contained is lost by
teaching and fermentation before it
reaches the land at all. The careless
and Indifferent methods practiced in
caring for the farm manure alone are
responsible for the loss to the agricul-
tural interests of the state that are
now in process of investigation

Discharge Enormous Load Of Sedi-
ments and Minerals.
The Colorado river discharges during
an average year into the gulf Of Cali
fornia 33S. 900, 900 tons of mud and silt
as suspended matter. In addition to
this, the dissolved substances In the
water include 1850, 900 tons Of sodium

tons OF glauber salt, 100000 tons
Of lime, 100000 tons Of gypsum and
100000 tons of epson salts, accord
ing to investigations by the United
States geological survey. In spite Of
all this dissolved material the Colora-
do at its mouth is not considered to be
a stream Of unusually high minerali-
zation for that region Of the country.
The reason is that the river also car
ries so enormous an amount of water
that the dissolved salts constitute a
comparatively small proportion Of the
total discharge. Other streams in the
country contain dissolved salts III

this amount is not SO great as that

greater in proportion to the size of the
area drained. The discharge Of salt
from the Colorado is equal to twenty
tons annually to each square mile
drained by the river, but the salt in
Elm fork of Red river is equal to
1850 tons per square mile of area

DRAFTER ON FARM
Raising Him Fits In Nicely With
General Work.
TRAINING TIME IS SHORT.

Colt Easily Handled and Broken and
Needs Little Observation-Disclosures Use-
full For Doing Tasks as Well as Re-
plenishins Stock.
Through several years of strictly
draft horse breeding the average size
of the native stock has been consld-
erably raised 1t is now very seldom
that farm team Is seen that weighs
less than ZOO pounds each on the av-
erage. 1t is not uncommon to see pairs
III the field that will weigh 1,400 or
above in working condition. Probably
the most highly priced animal on the
farm is big breedy draft mare. There
is nothing so popular at farm sales.
Nor is there any other animal upon
which bidding is so persistent as upon
a good draft mare in foal, according to
the National Stockman and Farmer.
The raising of draft horses fits nice
~ in with the work of the general
farm. There the draft mare really is
n dual purpose animal, doing a dou-
BILE work. She works regularly in the
field, and she raises Il colt that will
become one of the most profitable out
puts of the farm. Where care is eX-
ercised in handling the mare, giving
her the lighter and slower work, ap-
parently just as good colts are raised
as where the mare is kept in idleneSs.
The draft colt is very easily handled
and broken. He is quiet and docile
about the farm. When the youngster
has reached n sufficient age and size
TO be started to work, he requires only
lesson or two until he is ready to be
put to regular use. This is another big
