CARING FOR HOGS

that can be done to contribute to good

The hogs should be kept in clean

is better both for the hogs and for the

chances for error in estimating the
doses of serum to be injected
Provide a box or table on which TO
place the bottles of serum and virus.

they will be convenient but not likely
to be upset
It is even more important that the
hogs be kept clean and dry after vac
cination. to reduce TO a minimum the
chances for injecting the needle
wounds.
Get the hogs into on Enclosure
where they can be caught without
chasing them. This should be done
before the arrival Of the veterinarian
Special attention should be paid to
the feeding of the hogs after yaccina-
ton. Corn should be excluded from
the diet entirely for at least week
Give reduced rations Of slightly laxa-
tive feeds.
Watch the hogs carefully for at
least three weeks after vaccination,
especially if the double treatment has
been used. If all goes well for three
! weeks, there is little to be feared
later on.
If any hogs show signs Of sickness
following the double treatment, they
should be isolated from the rest Of

The Land of Broken Promises
1914. By Frank a. Munsey)

Ter the circumstances, and, best OF all,
it saved the generals face. The hid
eous frown with which he had regard
ed the American changed suddenly to
look of pompous pride. He jerked
an imperious head at his ragged re-
tainer and drew forth his receipt-boOk
with flourish.
While he waited for the horse to ap-
pear he turned upon his shopping men
and drove them to their mounts with
curses. Evidently it was no sinecure
to command in the army of the iber-
alton, and the yelled mutterings OF
his followers showed that they were
little better than tigers in leash.
Mounted upon horses, mules, and
even burros; armed with every con-
ceiVable weapon from a musket to
standard repeating rifles, they we're a
characterization army, more fit for
treason, stratagems and spells" than
the sterner duties of war.
Bud looked them over closely, well
satisfied to have his back against a
wall, and when the low-browed re-
tainer came hurrying back with the
horse he quickly took the worthless
way. Then, as the last camp-follower
disappeared, he ran for his saddle and
rife and within a minute he was
mounted and away.
There were rebels below him--TeTy
likely there were more to come-the
only safe place for Copper Bottom
was over the hills at Fortuna With
out stopping for path or trail, he head
ed straight northwest over the ridges,
riding as the cowboys do when they
rake the range for cattle. Hardly had
he topped the first high crest when
he came. in sight of Amigo, loaded
down with his cartridge-belts and car
rying his heavy Mauser.
In long, shambIing trot the Yaqui
was drifting along the hillside with
the free grace of wild creature, and
when Hooker pulled down his horse
to keep pace with him he laughed and
motioned him on. Taking the lead, he
Hoped on over hogback and barranca,
picking out the best trail by instinct
and setting such a pace that Bud was
hard pressed to keep up with him.
He had heard it said that in the
YaQui country no white man, no mat
ter how we'll he was mounted, could
outdistance the Indians on foot, and
now he knew it was true. But why
this killing haste on the part of Ami
go? He had neither friends nor kin
in town; why, then, should he run so
fast to warn them of the enemy?
They racked on, up one hill and
down another, while the insurrectos
followed the canyon, that swung to the
south, and finally, in last scramble,
they mounted a rocky ridge and
looked down upon old Fortuna.
Already the hard-driven poems were
out in the fields at work and smoke
was rising from the mescal still. Ara
gon was busy, but his labors would be
worse than wasted if the red-faggers
took him prisoner. As Bud breathed
his horse he hesitated whether to ride
back and warn him or press on and
notify Fortuna; but even for that

brief spell the YaQui could not wait.
''Adios," he said, coming close and
holding out his black hand; 81 go this
way!" And he pointed along the ridge
But why?" said Bud, still at loss
to account for his haste. Then, seeing
the reticence in the Indians eyes, he
thrust out his hand in return.
''Adios, Amigo mio!" he replied, and
with a quick grip the Yaquf was gone.
With that same deceptive speed he
shambled through the bushes, still lug
ging the heavy rife and making for
higher ground. Bud knew he had
some purpose-he even had a sneak
ing idea that it was to take pot-shots
at Captain del Rey-but six months in
Mexico had made him careless, and he
half hoped the YaQui would win.
The captain had 1t coming to him
for his brutality, but with Aragon 1t
was different had a wife and
daughter-and, with the memory OF
Gracia in his mind, Bud sent his horse
before it was too late.
There were some brush fences to be
jumped, but Copper Bottom took them
flying, and as they cut into the river
trail he made the mud-puddles splash
Across the fields to the south Bud
could see the poems running for cover
