"A ROOQ nre was started, n the III

quick and cheerful. A little distance
from the blaze, George saw Fortune
bending over the inanimate Ryanne
She was bathing his face with a wet
handkerchief. After a time Ryanne
turned over and flung his arms Imply
across hii face. 1t was the first sign
Of life h had exhibited since the
start. Fortune gently pulled aside
his arms and continued her tender
mercies.

It sdemed odd to him that they
should begin in such a matter-of-fact
way. X wcnld be only when they
had fully adjusted themselves to the
situation that questions would put
forth for answers. He knelt down at
the other side of Ryanne and mas
ssged his wrists and arms. Once he
paused, catching his breath.

With his manipulations.

,"I can't say"
His knowledge Of anatomy was not
wide; still, Ryanne's arms and legs
worked satisfactorily. The trouble
was either in his head or back Of his
ribs. He put his arm under, Ryanne's
shoulder and raised him. Ryanne
mumbled some words. George bent
down to catch them. "Hit 'em up In,
this half, boys; we've got them going.
He'll! Get of my head, you farmer!

face puckered into what was intended
for a smile. George laid him back
gently. Football and poker: what

two men and the FIRE, casting a long
shadow athwart them. George looked
mp and saw Mahomed standing close
by. His arms were folded and his
face grimly inscrutable.
Have you any blankets3" asked
George coolly.
Mahomed gave IN order. A blanket
and two saddle-bags were thrown
down beside the unconscious man.
George made a pillow of the bags and
laid the blanket owe Ryanne.

George stared thoughtfully at his

To take her in his arms, then and
there. to appease their hunger and
his hearts!
Self-consciously, her hand stole to
her hair. A color came into her
cheeks. How frightful she must look!
Neither hair-pin nor comb was left.
She threw the strands across her
shoulder and plucked the snarls and
apart, then braided the whole.
He watched her, fascinated. He had
never seen q woman do this before.
It was almost a sacrilege for him toll

Or. 7. N. Carver Of Hartford to Have

That the government will undertake
q new departure in behalf Of the farm
ers of the country is indicated by the
appointment Of DR.. Thomas N. Carver
OF Harvard university to take charge
Of the proposed rural organization

ment Of agriculture, whose purpose It
is to aid the farmer along economic,

ing lines, the principal object being to
work out . better system in the mar

Naturally, expectation would point
the way to the exploitation Of the
propaganda against merchants. both
wholesale and retail, such as has feat
ured the campaign leading up to this
new departure in the government serv-
ice. On the contrary, however, Pro
lessor Carver, in an interview, makes
the statement that he does not believe
the "middleman" can be eliminated
by any system, though remarking that
efforts would be made to secure q re-
formation where the profits accruing
from the performance OF the functions
exercised by him were excessive.
This Is really an important discov-
cry by this distinguished economist,
judged from the character of the dia-
tribes delivered by certain farm
journals and others whose province
it il to direct the trend of thought and
mould public opinion among the farm.

ABOUT THE MECHANICAL MIXER
After Years Of Study It 10 Now
Perfected,

Inventors have been working on the
mechanical mixer for years. Like
every other invention Of Importance.
there were necessarily many failures
before success crowned the efforts OF
the man who was able to picture in
his mind q machine that would relieve
the dairy farmer of much of the So
called drudgery Of his work, says Kim
balls Dairy Farmer.
Today the milking machine 10 q sue
cess. There are unQuestionahly many
who will tell you otherwise but the
truth Of the situation is demonstrated
by the machines that are in practical,
successful operation every day In the
year.
: The mere fact that the use Of the
milking machine has been discontin-
ued on some farms may be mislead-
ing. An illustration will make this
clear. A dairy farmer who milks
about 100 COWS producing q very high
class product which tops the market
In q western city. installed a machine
a few years ago. the expense in this
case was an item Of considerable Inn
portance. After using the milking
machine for a time 1t was discontin-
ued and the fittings in the barn stand
as mute testimony which is literally
used by some to prove that the milk
er Is worthless. AS q matter of mact,
this same dairyman said recently that
he planned to start his machine again.
1t is not unsuccessful but it was dis.
continued for certain local reasons
which do not in the least enter into
the question of itH success.
This little incident is given tc show
that the discontinued machine Is not
always discarded.
The question is freQue ntly raised
relative to the cleanliness OF the ma
chine. Ordinarily the man who is pro.
gressive enough to install q mixer
will take the best Of ri Of his herd
and Of the milk. Cleanliness will pre-
vail not only in the dairy room but
also in the barn and In the care OF
the stock. However, in one case q
milking machine was installed where
the men were not SO thoroughly up
t0-date, and 1t was q question whether
the milk would be Of good quality aft
er the machine had been in use fol
some time. This dairy farmer wal
marketing his milk and the men who
have supervision Of the quality Of the
milk watched this plant rather care
fully but found to their surprise thai
the quality improved.
The question has been raised as t.
