II hope he knows enough to quit
when he's cornered," returned the
other pleasantly, sweeping his eyes to
the opening in the hills, for I'm aim
ing to to take him back to Kansas

That's the plan pardner, and I've
got reason for it. l knew LIE Fevre
once, years ago, during the war, and
I've been some anxious to get my

now, Hughes his voice hardening,
you'll bear that fact in mind when
the fracas begins. From now on this
is my affair, not yours. You under
stand? You get busy with the two
bucks, and leave the white man to me.
Come on now-dismount."
Hughes came to the ground with
evident reluctance, swearing savagely.
What do yer think I'm yere for"
he demanded roughly, IF it want to
shoot that cuss?"
Hamlin strobe swiftly, over, and
dropped hand on the shaggy shout
der.
You are here because l ordered
you to come with me; because If you
hadn't would have killed you back
there in the shack, you red-handed
murderer. Now listen, Hughes. l

You and LIE Fevre belong to the same

shoot you down as would a dog.
Don't try to threaten me, you cur, for
| am not that kind. l am not trusting
you; l haven't from the first, but you
are going into this fight on my side,
and under my orders"
The two men glared into each 9TH
ers eyes, silent, breathing hard, but
there was grim determination about
the Sergeant's set jaw that left
Hughes speechless. He grinned weak
ly, stamping down the snow under
foot. Hamlin's continued silence
brought protest to his lips.

OF their horses hoofs ON the crust.
The Sergeant, staring about, felt that
he had never looked upon a more de.
pressing spectacle than this gloomy
landscape, desolate and wind-swept,
still overarched with low-lying storm
clouds, black and ominous.
They advanced thus for two hours,
making no attempt to force their ami.

foot In search Of possible trail, when
the character Of the country began to
change. The level plain broke into
series Of ridges Of irregular forma-
ton, all evidently heading toward
some more southern valley. In the de-
pressions the snow lay banked in deep
riffs, and, after plunging desperately
through two of these, unable to Judge
correctly in the dim light where to
ride, Hughes turned more. to the
south, skirting along the bare slope Of
ridge, trusting some turn lower
down would yield them the necessary
westerning.
Its over the ponies heads down
thar, Sergeant" he said, pointing side
ways into the dark hollow, IAN we're
bound to strike a cross-ridge afore we
come tothe bluffs"
What bluffs? The Canadian"
Yep; it's badly broken kentry a

we will have to make the circle. and.
II the country out yonder is as you de-
scribe, they will be no better of.
They'll have to follow the ridges to
get through. We may get a glimpse

They rode on steadily, keeping down
below the crest Of the hills, yet pick
ing a passage where the snow had
been swept clear. The slipperiness of
the incline made their progress slow,
as they dared not risk the breaking of
horses leg in that wilderness. and
the faint glimmer was most confusing
The wind had ceased, the calm was
impressive after the wild tumult, but
the cold seemed to strengthen as the
dawn advanced, viciously biting the
exposed faces Of the men. The strain.

the gray Of cheerless dawn they
reached the first line of bluffs. and
drew rein just below the summit,
where they could look off across the
lower ridges to the westward.

Land plowed July Is, twelve inches
deep, with the Spalding deep tillage

preparation and produced A bushels
of wheat per acre. The crop when
sold returned $271O per acre above
the cost of preparation.
The preparation of the seed-bed is
the most important factor in growing
crop of wheat. An ideal seed-bed
for wheat is a firm, well-compacted
soil supplied with ample moisture
and available plant food. To prepare
firm seed-bed, to store moisture,
and to liberate plant food requires
time. 1t is not accomplished in day,
a week or a month; it is the result
of many days of settling, some good
packing rains and frequent cultiva-
tion of the SOIL 1t is, therefore, only
possible to prepare an ideal seed-bed
when the preparation of the ground
is started early in the summer The
advantages of a firm seed-bed that
result from early blowing or listing
and frequent subsequent cultivation
cannot be overestimated. A firm seed
bed is absolutely necessary if the
subsoil water is to be utilized by the
young wheat plant On loose, poorly
packed soil there is such poor con-
nection between the soil particles that
moisture cannot be raised by capil-
larry attraction from the subsoil. I'm
der this condition the soil may be
we'll supplied with subsoil moisture
and the wheat fail to terminate be-
cause of the loose condition of the
soil, which prevents the rise of water
A firm seed-bed is only one of a
number of benefits that result from
the early preparation of the soil. Mois-
ture is conserved and plant-food is
made available in this way. The
conservation of moisture results from
the killing of the weeds that sap the
ground of water, and from looser
condition of the soil that more readily
absorbs rain. The cultivation of the
soil after packing rains forms an earth
mulch which prevents the loss of
moisture by evaporation.
In the drier parts Of the state per-
haps the greatest benefit resulting
from an early preparation of the soil
is the conservation of moisture
Where moisture is more plentiful the
greatest benefit results from the lib
Grafton of plant-food, and especially
of the plant-food nitrogen. Plants use
nitrogen in the form of nitrates. Nj
trates are formed as the result of bac
terial action. The bacteria that form
nitrates work only in well-aired Soils
Thus the better the soil is aired the
more nitrates are formed. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that the greatest de-
velopment of nitrates takes place in
soil plowed the earliest and given
the most frequent cultivation through
out the summer. Thus the firmest
seed-bed; the most plant-food, the
greatest accumulation of moisture and
usually the largest yields results from
the earliest preparation of the soil.

liberty and the persuit of the
happiness of the human family.
But those principles as time
passed by were trampled under
foot by the leaders of this party,
until the large majority of the
party could not stand for it any
longer, So with Colonel Roose'
