SYNOPSIS.

John Valiant. u rich society favorite.
suddenly discovers that the Valiant cor
poration, which his father founded n
which was the principal source Of his
wealth, has failed. He voluntarily turns
over his private fortune to the receiver
for the corporation. His entire remaining
possessions consist of an old motor car. a
white bull dog and Damory court. a neg
tected estate In Virginia. On the way to
Damory court he meets Shirley Dand-
an authenticated beauty, and de-
ccides that he is going to like Virginia I'M
rvnensely. Shirley's mother. Mrs. Dand-
ridge, and Major Bristow exchange rem
.niscSnces during which IL ts revealed
that The major. Valiant's father, and a
Snan named Sasson were rivals for the
hand OF Mrs. cambridge In her youth.
.Sasson and Valiant fought a duel on her
account in which the former was killed.
Valiant finds Damory court overgrown
with weeds and creepers and the build
-Sngs in a very much neglected condition.
He decides to rehabilitate the place and
make the land produce a living for him.
Valiant saves Shirley from the bite of a
snake. which bites him Knowing the
~~Yeadiiness of the bite, Shirley sucks the
poison from the wound and saves his life.
Shirley tells her mother Of the incident
and the latter is strangely moved at
hearing that a Valiant is again living at
Damory court. Valiant learns for the
eirst time that his father left Virginia on
account of a duel In which Doctor
sSouthall and Major Bristow acted as his
fathers seconds. Valiant and Shirley

trate lambs depends upon their condi-
ton of health and general vigor. 1t
is advisable to perform both opera
lions as soon as the lamb becomes
strong enough to Withstand the shock,
which time will vary from four days
to three weeks after birth. The
weather is another important factor.
A bright, warm day should be select
ed in order to lessen the danger OF
contracting cold and other attendant
difficulties.
Clean bedding should be provided
for the lambs if they are kept inside
after the operations have been per-
formed. If the weather will permit, it
is advisable to allow the locked and
castrated lambs the range OF a good
pasture. These precautions will les
sen the danger of infection. Lambs
which have been castrated should be
disturbed no more than is necessary
for a day or two following the opera
ton.
Docking or taking off the tails is not
a serious operation, and it a be per
formed with very little risk. During
the spring OF 1912, at the experiment
station at the University Of Missouri,
two lots of nine lambs averaging 1871
and 1919 pounds, respectively, were
used to determine the effects result
ing from docking and castrating. The

thought himself almost a beggar, and
5 here in his hand was a small fortune!

sought to buy a whole tiara!"

presently turning at a right-angle to

The growth was smaller and sparser
now and before long he came, or the
Hills very crest, to the edge of a
ragged clearing. 1t held a squalid set
element, perhaps a score of dirt-daubed
cabins little better than novels, some
of them mere mud-walled lean-tos,
with sod roofs and window-panes of
fio~ur-sacking. Fences and outhouses
there was none. Uttered paths ram
bled aimlessly hither and thither from
chip-strewn yards to starved patches
of corn, under-cultivated and blighted.
Over the whole place hung an indie
s~cribable atmosphere of disconsolate
filth, of ~unredeemed squalor and vile
ness.
With one hand on the dogs collar,

seen, looked at the Wretched place
with a SILVER. He had glimpsed many
'wretched purlieus in the slums of
great cities, but this, in the open sun
tight, with the clean woods about it
and the sweet clear blue above, stood
out with an unrelieved holiness and
contrast that was doubly sinister and
%Iorbidding. He knew instantly that
known as Helrs-Half-Acre, the place
to which Shirley had made her night
ride to csc Hickey Snyder.
"A quick glad realization of her cour-
age rushed through him, On its heels
came a feeling of shame that a spot
like this could exist, a foul blot on
such a landscape. 1t was on his own
land! Its denizens held place by
squatter sovereignty, but he was,
nevertheless, their landlord. The
thought bred a new sense OF response.

when all the wounds we're healed,
there was practically nc difference in

A common method OF docking lambs
is to place the lamb upon its rump,
either on the ground or OF a wooden
block, and chop the tail off with a dull
Ratchet. A moderately dull Ratchet is
preferred to a sharp one, for by bruis-
ing and tearing the blood vessels clots
will form more quickly, which will
tend to prevent excessive bleeding. In
case the lambs bleed too freely, a
strong cord should be tied tightly
around the stump Of the tail, or the
wound may be scared with a hot iron.
II a cord is used 1t should be re-
moved within a few days. Sometimes
blood will collect In the wool around
the dock, unless care is observed.

Benefits From Mulching.
In the Sarcoxie district It Is the
custom to mulch the Strawberries
with straw or grass. This Is usually
done in early winter, as soon as the
ground Is frozen. The mulch, to some
extent, prevents the heaying of the
soil and the injury to the plants in
winter, but in south Missouri the most
important benefits from the mulch
are its preventing the splashing Of
mud on the fruit and the drying out o.
the soil. Where the mulching mate

Baby language is the latest study.
The child first uses its voice, says an
expert, to express hunger, temper and
feelings of pleasure. Noises alone
suffice for such expression. Then the
baby utilities its voice as a plaything,
and afterward as a recognized mode
of expression.

the development of maggots, which
may cause trouble.
When docking with q knife the tail
should be taken off at the third or
fourth joint from the body. depending
upon the length of the dock desired.
The skin should be slipped back as
far toward the body OF the lamb as
possible and the cut should be made
at the joint. A wound made at the
joint heals more quickly than a wound
made by cutting through the bone.
The object in pushing the skin back
toward the body is to provide surplus
skin to come over the edge OF the
wound and facilitate healing. A good
d~isinfectant, such al crude carbolic
acid or a 5-per-cent solution of pure
carbolic acid should be used freely. A
little pine tar smeared on the end OF
the dock will keep the flies away, II

the lambs and sometimes causing
death. The bleeding can. be stopped
as described.
In the last few years another meth
cd Of docking has come into practice
docking with hot iron pincers. This
requires more time for the operation,
but there will seldom be further trou-
BILE. BY this method there is practic-
ally no danger from bleeding, mag
gots or infection. This method of
docking will require two men-one to
hold the lamb and another to use the
hot pincers.
In order to prevent burning the
body Of the lamb, it is advisable to-
slip the lambs tail through a hole in
an inch board. This board should be

The importance of docking and cas-
trating lambs is being more fully APP
preciated each succeeding year. Many
who sell lambs in June and July do
not think the beneficial results de-
rived from these operations justify the
risk. The common opinion among men
in the sheep house." however, as ex-
pressed by enc of the statesmen, is
that "docked lambs attract the atten-
ton of the buyer and make a much
better impression"
