HALVOR GUNDfR-
SONS DOG
Or the Story Of a Troubled
Conscience
By JOHN c. WADE
Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co

Halvor Gunderson had first noticed
the dog behind his wagon when he
stopped to rest his team on the Steven
hill.
On stock days farmers from twelve
miles back In the hills brought hogs
and calves to town. and strange dogs
were plentiful along the main road.
When well out OF the ridge he again
glanced back to see that he was losing
none Of his purchases out of his hog
rack and saw the dog still following.
He now looked at 1t more carefully.
1t was large shepherd dog with a
full chest. long. slim body well above
the ground and coarse tawny hair that
was nearly black ON the neck and back.
When he turned into the short by
road leading TO his house he whistled
to the dog, but the latter had already
turned with the wagon and was evil

slightest curiosity. but went immedi-
ately back TO the stove and lay down.
The next morning when Gunderson
took the cows to the pasture the dog
fulfilled all his expectations. He show
ed perhaps a tritle too much eagerness
and ferocity in driving the cows.
The dog was always with him from
morning until night-among the corn
rows, in the bayfield,. at milking time.
No matter where he went or what he
was doing 1t was always near by and
always seemed to be looking at him.
There was haunting familiarity
about the dogs gaze. hut Halvor could
not place 1t.
Halvor watched the dog very care
fully all summer, never allowing him
off the farm II possible. One October
morning. however, he escaped his vigil
lance and followed him halfway TO the
cheese factory before Halvor noticed
him.
He was too far on the road to be
sent back, so was allowed to continue.
At one of the houses on the highway
to the factory was kept dog, hound,
that Halvor disliked very much. This
dog would rush out furiously at all
teams, baying noisily, but always keep
ing out Of reach OF the whip. Today,
as usual. he came running across the
fields, but when he saw the shepherd
dog he turned toward him with I'M
abated speed. his head low ard tongue
lolling.

but the shepherd met him before he
could even start tearing him about the
head and neck with quick. wolfiike
snaps.
The aggressor tried TO fight back. but
could not get an opening, and In few
seconds the shepherd had carried him
off his feet aud was trying for his
throat. The hound was a powerful
brute and was up again in an instant
but he had apparently abandoned all
thought OF lighting. for he started BACK
across the field toward the house. even
faster than he had come.
The shepherd followed him a snort
distance and then returned to the
wagon. Halvor was nightly pleased
with the discontinue of the hound ana
the splendid fighting qualities display
ed by his dog. His sheep would sure

shine into the interior of the house

POULTRY HOUSE
FOR THE BACK YARD

The only house that is suited for
poultry is one with a dry interior No
one can succeed in keeping hens that
produce eggs if they are kept in houses
that have damp floors and therefore
damp interiors or in houses that are
not clean and thus more or less infect
ed with insect vermin, says the West
ern Poultry Journal. Whenever there
is dampness within q house the hens
will suffer from cold, the floors will be
filthy, the interior of the house will be
unfit for the hens to live in, and insect
vermin will grow quickly under such
conditions.
Sunlight. fresh air and perfect dry
ness are essential for success in poul-
try keeping. They are the surest RENE
dies against disease. The hens that
are kept under such conditions are apt
to be profitable, whereas those that
are kept under adverse conditions are

On the other hand, If the comb ap-

Meat Rations For Hens.

The effect of meat rations for hens
was tested at the West Virginia ex-
pertinent station. where one pen of
fowls received ration largely of corn
and other starchy grains. while an
other pen was fed partly on meat and
fresh bone. The meat fed fowls laid
1856 eggs, while the grain fed fowls
laid 3,431, or less than one-half as
many as those receiving the nitrog-
enous ration. The eggs from the
meat fed fowls were larger, much
1rner, rather better and produced far
more vigorous chickens than those of
the others. Both lots of fowls remain
I'd in healthy, vigorous condition.
