The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-05-31

IN the South a thin column of
smoke was rising. 1t was the first
onset of a forest fire. The sight ban
ished his thoughts from Elmer's
mind. He gaIloped hastily toward the
place.
The sun rose as he rode, and long
before he reached the spot the smoke
had become a hell of flame. The
trees, dried by a two-months'
drought, were roaring columns of
fire, and the confagration was eating
its way as fast as a man could ride,
north, east, west and south. At a
distance of half mile Elmer refined
in his horse helplessly. 1t was too
late to save his own home, which
seemed to be the center of the out
break. The villages had, no doubt,
been warned in time. Then-Emme-
line.
The flames were spreading all
round the clearing which Watson
held, along the stretch of national
forest which ringed the ranges and
thence stretched away north and
west as far as the eye could see. They
would rush through the long, dry
pastures like the wind and consume
the cabin, sheep, everything in their
path. Already the tree-tops were leap
ing wires of flame when Elmer drew
bride at WatsOn's home.
1t was empty. Elmer shouted with
joy. Doubtless the fugitives had been
warned in time. They must have fed
north along the open range toward
Westwood And by this path, if he
should hasten, he could still escape
also. He turned his tired nag's head
and spurTed him relentlessly.
The animal shifted the breeze,
laden with smoke and flying sparks,
and galloped madly for safety. Horse
and rider were as one now in their
desire. But presently a cloud of
smoke rolled down on them; ban

trate with his eyes the smoky wall
around him.
Then out of the blind smoke came
a cry-such crying as he had heard
that day in the long grasses Of the
range. 1t was Emmeline's voice. 1t
seemed to come out of the smoke
wrack like the cry of child that
seeks it's mother desperate, hope
less and weary. He shouted.
"Emmeline! Emmelinew
The low cry walled, but not in an
swer. She seemed to be overcome
with some impersonal grief which
rocked nothing of her own safety. FL
mer broke through the singing
smoke mist, plunging madly among
the low shrubs that fringed the burn
ing forests, calling to her. And in
stinct had guided him Alright, for,
though she did not call in answer, he
found her.
She was bending over flame
blackened thing that lay in a little
hollow among the pastures. Elmer
saw at once that Watson was dead.
He learned afterward that as he ran
for safety, oblivious of his wife, a
veering gust had sent the flames to-
ward him and encircled him with fire
before the conf1agration resumed its
unopposed march through the trees
again.
Emmeline Watson looked up. She
seemed to come to her senses.
my husband is dead" she said
slowly. eft is judgment He tried to
set fire to your cabin last night and
burn you to death. He fired the cabin
and the forests. But God saved you"
Suddenly the smoke wrack lifted.
A changing wind held back the
flames. Now, before him, Elmer
could see a narrow path, as yet UNI
crossed, that led to the safety Of the
open range.
He ran back for his horse and led it

was the favorite.

HOGS Not Profitable When fed
Grain Alone.

Declaring that there is little
profit in hogs fed on grain alone,
Prof. j. G. Fuller of the College
of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin recommends that
farmers should arrange, as far as
possible, to develop their market
hog by dairy by-products, and
forage crops. Heavy grain feed
ing should be reserved for the fat
tening or finishing period.
Blue grass provides satisfactory
hog pasture for spring and early
summer, but after July it is of
little value and should be supple
mented by rape and other forage
crops. In the University herd the
hogs are taken from blue grass
pastures and put on rape about
July 1. The rape is sowed in
three plots at intervals of about
three weeks. BY changing. the
pigs to a fresh piece when the
first plots are fed off, a second
growth will appear, providing the
hogs with more or less continuous
green feed ali summer. If the
rape is drilled lengthwise in the
lot. the hogs will not tramp it
down in going to and coming from
the feed trough.
To provide feed for a longer
period, three pounds of rape may
be sown broadcast with one bushel
of oats and eight pounds of clover
per acre. If the swine are not
turned into this until the crop is
ten inches high, one acre will pro-
vide green feed for fifteen hogs
the rest of the season.
Clover is excellent pasture for
hogs, and alfalfa, though not used
so much, is equally good. 1t is
estimated that clover, alfalfa,
rape, or the rape-clover-oat mix
lure, properly grown and fed, will
effect a saving of nearly 80 per
,ent. in the grain ration for
growing swine.

II we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the eff rts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
SEEM wonder--just the same1
Should we help where now we hinder
Should we pity where we blamel
Ali we judge each other harshly.
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we Judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

BUMPER CROP
But Wheat Has Not Kept Pace
With the Population.

From reports issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture it is ex-
pected that the wheat crop this
year will be in the neighborhood
of 744,000,000 bushels, real
bumper harvest. But great as the
crop appears to be, it has not kept
pace with the population. The
farm product of the United States
does not match in growth the
number of persons to be fed. This,
in fact, is the great secret in the
high cost of all food supplies in
America, because quantity does
not increase nearly so fast as pop
ulation. The value of farm prod
ucts grows greater each year.
Last year it was more than So
900, 200. But this was due more
to the extremely high price for
produce than to the great quantity
produced. Every year the Amer
lcan people eat larger proper
ton of all the things this country
grows, and have smaller proper
ton to export. At the present
rate of this tendency it will not be
long before cotton will be the i'm
portant agricultural article which
the United States will have to sell
70 the Old World. We will need
The product of our farms to feed

producer of our food.

to think about clothes, others
want you to study the ques-

Advertising is the method
by which these men are in
ducing you to think. They
know that If you begin to
think you will insist on the
best, and each advertiser
knows that his goods possess
real merit. He knows II

tise something that would not
stand the hard test of actual
use.
If you will do the thinking
the aim Of the advertiser has
been achieved. for you will in

layers. Cornell Supreme has laid from
six to ten eggs or more in succession
and has never skipped more than six
or eight days in month. Cornell Su-

believes she has given substance 10
the prophecy that hens In the future
will live longer and remain prolific for
a longer period than has been the case
so far
Cornell Supreme is three years old.
She weighs 3.4S pounds. Her egg pro-
duction in the last three years is 25.S2
times her own weight. The total
weight of the eggs she produced in
three years is 1919 pounds. Assum-
ing that the average price Of strictly
fresh eggs Is 40 cents the year around,
this hen has produced s22 in actual
cash, representing many more times
her worth in the market

hens can maintain an abnormally high
production for at least three years and
remain perfectly healthy The demand
upon the body to carry on the diges-
tive and reproductive processes re-
CURED by Cornell Supreme is beyond

Prof. Rice, would be the greatest boon

vastly strengthen the weakest link In
the chain of success in poultry farm
ing, namely, the short normal life of
the domestic fowl, necessitating the
renewal each year Of one-half or more
OF the entire flock, thus entailing the
greatest risk and the largest item of
expense. Moreover, Mr.. Rice says 1T
