CHAPTER XIV.
a Double Escape.


On Nauset Beach, in the shank of
midsummer night, two men spraWled
on the sands, some distance back from
the water, and listened to the heavy
humping of their overtaxed hearts,
and painted.
Now and again one would lift MS
head and stare out over the black face
of the waters at little line of red
dish flames about a mile off shore, all
that remained to witness to the fact
that, an hour since, these two had
been in command of as trim a small
schooner as ever ventured the coast

AS far out again shone the star
board light of becalmed schooner,
whose people had been directly respon-
sible for the disaster which had over
taken the smaller vessel.
In the course of time, beginning to
breathe with more ease, one of the
two marooned gentlemen said:

HOW TO USE BABCOCK TEST
Method of Determining Amount of Fat
in Milk Is Quite Simple-Mode

consists of % milk, skim milk and

pipette, CD IT'S c. C. acid measure.
ca cream scales, 90 centrifugal ma
chine and Co sulphuric acid.
The operation of testing is:
First-See that all glassware Is
clean.
Second-Have sample of milk or
cream at 60 to 20 degrees F. and thor
oughly mix by pouring the sample
from one vessel to another at least
three times.
| Third-If milk, remove 17.6 C. c.

Fourth-Fill the acid measure to
the IT'S C. c. mark with sulphuric acid
having a specific gravity OF 1.S2 to
1.S3. Pour acid into milk test bottle,
which should be held in an inclined
position and slowly revolved so that
acid will come in contact with any
milk that may remain in neck OF
bottle.
Fifth-Mix milk and acid by giving
the test bottle a rotary motion. Avoid
shaking. The casein at first coagu-
lates, then dissolves. the color of the

ing a dark brown cblor. Let the
bottles stand two to five minutes;
then shake again before placing In

1t is important to know just how
to feed horses to keep them in good
health and fit for their work, yet II
is no exaggeration to say that 80 per
cent. of those who own horses are
quite ignorant of how to care for
them.
We can see any day miserable, de-
jected brutes dragging coal wagons
with weary feet, or standing with
dropping heads between the shafts OF
farm carts or cabs on city streets,
looking as Il it would be mercy to
send them to the slaughter yard. Yet
if their owners only understood the
scientific method of feeding they
might easily rejuvenate those poor
old beasts and make them sound and
useful
After years of experiment as pro-
fessional veterinary surgeon | have
learned that horses fed on corn meal
invariably gain in weight and appear
ance and are far more willing at theii
work.
| have found that meal fed to sicf
horses and other animals prevents

Drowsiness in Church,

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered by Ralph Eyre Of
Osceola, Ia, senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State univer-
sity. Mr.. Eyre has found the scien-
tific basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
unfortunate fact. "A glazing light fe-
fore the eyes is sure to produce drow-
siness." Mr.. Eyre reasoned Men with
bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glaring lights
than those blessed with abundant hair

ing their managers. which is usually
the result of Indigestion.
In order to convince horse owners
that this food has wonderful health
restorative properties it is only nee.
essary to point out the fact that meal
is SO largely used in all sick-horse
| hospitals.
Horses get too much oats or corn
with a little hay, and if meal Is SUD-
stituted for an equal portion OF ehe
usual daily routine of these grains I'M

My practical demonstration con-
vinced one big stable proprietor OF
the value of meal and whole corn and
the improvement in the stock OF that
stable went up by leaps and bounds
Heavy drafters as well as show
horses and carriage horses should be
fed a ration of meal at least once

as a flesh former it puts the animals
in such condition of health that II

WHAT ORGANIZATION MAY DO
Many Things May Be Taken UP to
Advantage by Farmers Living
In Certain Sections.

While cooperative organizations
among fruit growers have as their
principal purpose the marketing Of
the fruit crop, there are many other
things which may be taken up to ad-
vantage, one of which Is that of de-
Gliding upon certain definite varieties
of each crop that Is grown by the
members of the organization. 1t is
considered an advantage in market
ing a crop to have enough of kind to
make a carload.
Another feature which can be taken
up to advantage is that of maintaining
one kind Of breed of cattle. Live,
stock of some kind is more or less
plentiful in every fruit-growing com
munity and where all of the animals
are Of one or two breeds it is ther
possible for the organization to buy
pure bred sires to the advantage Of
everyone.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE SEED

quently happens that seed potatoes
have anywhere from five to ten per
cent, or even more, of mixture. Gen
orally this mixture is of much later
maturing variety. The trucker plants
this seed very early. At this season
of the year there is little warmth In
the soil; hence, the later maturing
