1T moaned and withdrew the paw.
Again tie man lifted the beasts fore
foot. And again the beast pulled away
the paw, this time with growl.
"Ah, Solomon" the wild man said,
$50 thou dost scold! Thou art a
coward. Where is thy kingiy pride"
He now looked the lion pointblank in
the eyes and again lifted the wounded
paw.
"A thorn!" he muttered. A thorn
probably many inches in length
sharp as the point of Kafir assegai-
hard as spearhead. And imbedded in
thy claw, Solomon, up to the hilt. No
wonder thou art suffering! Ny poor
Solomon! Wait! With the extrac-
ton of this thorn thy pain will vanish.
So-so."
He got hold of the thorn with his
fingers, and he pulled. But he found
Sne thorn so deeply impaled in the
flesh of the paw that not even his
strong fingers could draw it out.

from the liens paw. The beast actu
ally heaved a sigh of relief. With the
removal of that hard, sharp wooden
spike pain Immediately vanished. AS
ii III token of its gratitude, the lion
licked the hand Of the man whose doc
toring had made the beast able again
to compete physically with other
beasts of the jungle.
Farewell Solomon" called the
wild man, as the lion bounded away.

is even now awaiting your homecom-
ing at you lair
Again onward through the jungle
strobe the man who knew no fear
till suddenly he halted, gazing ahead
spellbound at the apparition that con-
fronted him.
The apparition was a man of race
which Wayne could not remember hav-
ing ever seen before-a Caucasian.
The white man, who stood not 30
feet from Doctor Wayne, had a rifle. He
was aiming the gun at an object.
Wayne looked to see at what the white
man was SO carefully aiming that
deadly weapon. He saw a leopard
crouched on a fallen tree, watching
evidently for a bird of which to make
a dainty meal. This crouching leopard
was none other than one of Doctor
Wayne's own house guests, Mark.
DON'T" shouted Wayne, his voice
rending the jungle silence like clap
Of thunder "Don't!" he repeated.
For the first time the white man
himself beheld an apparition--seem-
ing a wild man, whom he instantly
recognized. however, as of the white
race, yet one become SO strangely wild
that he seemed like prehistoric cave

art thou SO afraid Of yonder beast

said, advancing toward the stranger.
Il will show thee that yonder beast is
not to be feared. Behold, man of

proved to be friend!"
Wayne went to the leopard, lifted
1t bodily over his head, wound the

LAMB AND MUTTON
DIFFER GREATLY
Animal at Eight Weeks Old Brings
the Highest Price Ever
AttainabIe.

There is as much difference be-
tween lamb and mutton as there is be-
tween spring chickens and a three
year-old rooster.
There is limited period in the life
or well-fed animals for growth. Every
factor in the problem of producing
mutton points to early maturity. It's
the early lamb that gets the coin.
At eight weeks old, if in condition
and seasonable to meet the very Sc
lect trade, the lamb brings the high
est price ever attainable, per pound.
A very narrow limit at this time and
the tide Of prices fades away and it
will be necessary to keep him until
another time or season that calls for
lamb three to five months old, but
at price considerably less per pound.
The lambs marketed at four months
of age do not, as a rule, bring as much
per head as those sold at eight weeks
of age. The longer they are kept the
lower class of market they satisfy
and SO on until they are full grown.

SUCCESS WITH THE
FARM LIVE STOCK
Animals Used for Breeding Pur-
poses Should Possess In
dividuai Merit.
(By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN)

;. (By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN9
Regularity in feeding and work
makes long-lived horses.
A scrub may yield profit, but II
SO, a good animal would give great
er profit.
Feeding an inferior quality Of food
is not consistent with the most profit
able stock feeding.
The young SOW proves her ability
by the way she handles her first lit
er.
No'young animal will return as good
results as the ones literally fed.
To be too fiery is fault in a horse
drawing heavy loads on an uneven
road.
Good stock must have good fare and
attention, and then they will make
most liberal returns.
The food of support is more than
the food of gain, under the most IA
vorable conditions.
The fault in overstocking is not al
together in having too much stock, but
in not having enough feed.
No animal, however well bred,
should be used for breeding purposes,
unless it has individual merit.
Make it a rule to save everything,
the saving of which doesn't cost more
than it is worth.
In breeding, defects are peculiarly
persistent, and are more easily
stamped upon the next generation,
than good qualities.
Mixed grasses make better and
surer pasture than single variety,
though it be the very best OF all.
Scant feeding of the young animal
produces that which is all but impos-
sible to overcome by liberal feeding
afterward.
There is no surer destruction to a
herd, however good, than that OF
breeding to bull that is an inferior
sire.
Other things being equal, the most
profitable animal is the one kept every
day at the maximum gain consistent
with health.
1t is not the magnitude of ones

but the manner in which it is con-

If there is one time more than an

priced grain, however, this can hard
ly be recommended. A convenient
rule, according to the department of
agriculture, is to figure on one shoat
per steer when shelled corn is fed
and two when ear corn. In any cir.
cumstances there should be enough
hogs provided to clean UP all the
waste corn.
Another convenient basis of calcu-
latfon is to estimate that when one
third Of bushel of corn is fed a
steer approximately three-fourths Of
q pound Of pork will be obtained.
With ear corn the gains are greater
but on the other hand corn meal or
corn and cob meal yields very little
pork since it is much better utilized
by the steer. It seems indeed to be
proved that the diet which is most
efficient for steers is the less so for
hogs and vice versa.
1t is customary to feed the hogs
corn in addition to that which they
obtain from the droppings. When

be fed separately and preferably be-
fore the steers in order not to annoy
the latter.
Farmers bulletin 5SS, Economical
Cattle Feeding in the Corn Belt" in
which these questions are discussed,
emphasizes the desirability of paving
feed lots when hogs are following cat
tie. 1t has been definitely shown, say
the government specialists, that hogs
make nearly one pound more of pork
on paved lots for each bushel of corn
fed the steers. With pork at six
cents a pound this item alone will
amount to about $3.50 steer. In adj
dition the risk of immediate loss must
be taken into consideration. This
sometimes compels the farmer to ship
his cattle before they are ready and
the loss he incurs in one year may
well be more than the cost of paving
the lot.

without weapon and without fear. Yet
he knew that in many a thicket as he

prey-lion, leopard, cheetah-watching
him with cleaning eyes and perhaps
covetous teeth and yearning claws.
Yet not one of these beasts so much
as growled at the passerby.
But now as Wayne approached a
great thicket Of thorn bushes he heard
a low growl. The bushes had been
trampled down by the passing, evil

GET THE POULTRY

It is not yet too late to whitewash

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agr,culture)
The present margin of profit in fat
tening cattle for market is SO narrow
that many authorities assert that it is
inadvisable to feed steers without fol
lowing them with hogs. If the steers
sell for enough to pay for expenses
the nogs that follow will ordinarily re-
turn sufficient profit to pay the farm
er for his labor.
Interesting figures on this subject
have been obtained by the United
States department Of agriculture from
"a Iowa farms. These farms we're all
managed by men of undoubted expert
ence in raising cattle. A careful ac-
counting system was adopted and rig
idly followed.
The experiments began with the
feeding year beginning in the fall of
1909. Prices at this time were very
satisfactory and the 961 cattle raised
made an average profit of $2.05 per
head. These steers were followed by
1904 hogs which were given extra
grain. The hogs were sold in the
spring of 1910 at an average profit
Of 1857 per hog. If this profit is
credited to the steers, each steer
shows a profit of $12.49. In the fol-
lowing feeding year, however, 1910 to
1911, the outcome was different.
Prices were unsatisfactory and the
1,138 cattle were fed at an average
loss for the year of rs cents a head.
Nevertheless the 1876 hogs following
the steers turned this loss into a
profit. The hogs netted an average
profit of 1888. Crediting this to the
steers we have a net profit per steer
of $4.04.
Opinions differ on the number of
hogs that it is well to have follow the
steers. When corn is cheap many
farmers feed the steers more corn
than they can eat and run extra hogs
which consume the waste. With high

First War Correspondent.

The first war correspondent, &C
cording to a theory .propounded by
Sutherland Edwards, appears to have
been Homer. who was sent by the edi-
tor of an Argos paper called the
Chronos to describe the siege of Troy.
Hostilits2s lasted only about seven
weeks, and when they came to an end
the Greek chiefs were in no hurry to
return to their wives. Homer was a
good sort. and as he drew large sal
airy and a handsome allowance for ex-
penses from the Chronos, ne readily
accepted the scheme propounded by
the wise Ulysses-to keep the war go
ing in the columns of his paper so long
as he could manage to write about it.
His letters were too good not to pub
lish, and meantime the Greek chiefs
had an enjoyable time at Troy and
elsewhere. Re-issued in book form as
"The Iliad," these early examples of
war correspondence have. enjoyed q
wider circulation than was possible
even in the columns of the Chronos.

A carpenter can build house more
economically than can blacksmith,
because he knows how and has the
right kind of tools to work with. A
COW, with good dairy form, for the
same reason, can produce mere milk
than one with beef form. Let the
carpenter and the blacksmith work at
their respective trades and adopt the
