slung over his shoulder.

Summer Care of the Pics.

Many farmers think that they can
not afford to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves in
many instances and of course do not
make much growth but one may see
a pretty good profit in feeding at the
present high prices Of both feed and
pork.
The hogs will just about live on the
pasture they can gather from the field
and what grain is given them goes to
growth and any one who has tried it
has found that only moderate ration
fed to the shOats on pasture will make
a good growth throughout the season.
Early spring pigs of any good breed
can be made to average a pound Of
gain day by the time they are eight
or ten months old and a large part OF
this can be made on pasture.

Something very like laughter es-

inopportune mirth! What in Gods

vet and a lace collar and ride his pony
yet, by God, as a gentleman's grand
son should"
1T sounds well, Price, but where's
the money coming from to push law
suit?"
The judge waved this aside.
The means will be found, Solo
mon Our horizon Is nfting-I can
see it lift! Don't drag me back from
the portal of hopei Well drink the
stuff that comes across the water;
that from me and what would | be?
Why, the very fate | have been fight

overwhelm me. I'd sink into unim-
portance-my unparalleled misfor-
tunes would degrade me to level

never been without hope, and though
I've fallen I've always got up. What

years hunger and thirst under my
wes-coat, and I'll feed and drink like
a gentleman yeti" The judge smacked
his lips in an ecstacy of enjoyment,
and dropping down before the table
which served him as a desk, seized a
pen.
Its gocd enough to think about,
Price admitted Mahaffy grudgingiy.
It's better to do; and If anything
happens to ne the papers | am going
to leave will tell you how it's to be
done. Man. there's a million of
money in sight, and we've got TO get
it and spend it and enjoy it! None OF
your swinish thrift for me, but life on
a big scale--company, and feasting,
and refined surroundings!
And you are going to meet Fen
tress in the morning." asked Mahaffy.
Il suppose there's NO way Of avoiding
that?"
Avoiding it," almost shouted the
judge. For what have | been living?
l shall meet him, let the consequences
be what they may. Tonight when L
have reduced certain facts to writing
| shall join you at Belle Plain. The
strange and melancholy history OF my
life | shall place in your hands for

driven back to Boggs'."
