It is shame that the ne- groes can have school nine months in the year, and the white children only get three months in the summer We think this should be looked after, and think if the directors will consider the matter the proper steps will be taken.

Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines,

II you want to contribute directly
 to the occurrence of capillary bronchi- Us and pneumonia, use cough medi- cines that contain codine, morphine. heroin and other sedatives, when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from cold when Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has world wide reputation for it's cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.

A COW has a peculiarly sensitive
and delicate organization.
Regularity should be the keynote
Of every successful dairy system.
Make a study OF foods, and feed a
balanced ration. This will save waste.
When cut in the milk and cured, the
oat and pea hay is most palatable and
nutritious.
A good dairy COW should have all
the feed she will eat and digest. and
keep in good health.
Successful dairying depends entire
Iy on right methods in breeding, feed
ing and management.
The dairymen who are not
full do not apply ordinary business
principles to their calling.
Success in dairy farming depends
not only on good stock, but also on
good common tense work.

FEEDING AND CARE OF GEESE
One Of the Cheapest and Easiest Of
All Domestic Fowls to Raise
Method of Management.

Geese are one of the cheapest and
easiest of all domestic fowls to raise,
says the Farm and Freside. They re-
quire little shelter at any time, and
if given plenty of pasture, will gather
h largest portion of their food from
the fields. They are very easily and
quickly fattened for market and bring
very good prices. This is the meth
cd for managing breeding and market
geese: Never mate over two females
to each gander. Never use females
less than TWO or ganders over four
years Of age. They are allowed to
run in a pasture where they have
plenty of grass to eat and water to
swim in. In winter and during the
laying season feed them lightly the
following ration: Bran, tour parts;
shorts, two parts; cornmeal, one part;
and in winter cut clover, steamed,
four parts, is added. A goose will lay
so to 40 eggs In a season. If she is
allowed to sit. The eggs require 80
days for incubation, and invariably
match we'll.
Goslings are removed from the in
cubators as Don as dry, and placed
In breeders where the heat for the
first "a hours is 80 degrees. After the
first "a hours the heat is reduced
daily until the goslings are ten to ff-
teen days old. Beginning the third
morning after Matching the goslings
are fed as follows, foul times daily,
by measure: Bran, one part; rolled
oats, n part; cornmeal shorts. one
part. This mixture is dampened with
skim milk until it will crumble. Grass,
grit, and drinking water are always
before them.
Water is given in fountains, SO they
cannot get into it. They are fed as
mentioned until they are eight weeks
old, when those for market are
closely confined to be fattened, and
fed as follows, three times daily, all
they will eat: Bran, two parts;
shorts, n part; oil meal and beef
scraps, one part; cornmeal, one part,
dampened until it will crumble.
Whole orr is frequently given.
Green food, grit and water are always
before them.

And presently they were gone. A
moment later those remaining could
a the chug-chug Of the motors as
they sped away. The banker was first
to recover from the spell. He rushed
for the hall, but George stopped him
rudely.

break my word. Your money is all
here. II o do not act reasonably.
Ill throw you down and sit on you
till the time Is up. Sit down. l do
not propose that my future wife shall
appear IN court as a witness against
her mother. Do you understand me
now?"
The banker signifed that he did.
He sat down. rather subdued. Then
he got up nervously and inventoried
the steal. He counted roughly a mil
lion. A Million! He felt sick and
weak. 1t would have wrecked the
bank, wiped 1t out of existence. And
saved by the merest, the most trifing
chance! A bottle of wine! He re-
sumed his chair and sat there won
deringly till the time-limit expired.
The public never heard how nearly
the MISUNDERSTANDING had gone to
the wall; nor how six policemen had
worked till dawn carrying back the
gold; nor that the banker had no
thanked them for their labor.
The first impulse Of the banker had
to send the story forth to the
world, to harass and eventually cap
ture his brother; but his foresight
becoming normal. he realized that
silence was best, even II his brother
escaped. II the depositors heard that
the bank had been entered and a mil
lion taken from the vaults, there
would naturally follow a terrific run.
When the last bag had been taken
out OF the library and the banker and
the police had gone, the bell rang.
George went to the door. A messen-
ger handed him a small satchel and
note. There was to be no reply.
The note was from Ryanne. Briefly 1t
that the satchel contained the
emeralds. There had been some diff
dculty in forcing the Major to surren-
der them. But that much was due to
George for his generosity. Later in
day he-George-might inform his
that the coup
hadn't been a total fizzle. They had
packed away In s%uit-cases

dollars in bills Of all denominations.
