there was no sound of voices, or Of

The silence continued, and l began

carpeted stairs, crouching we'll back
against the side wall. Little by little

door-the chairs were vacant; there
was no one there. The CLEAN Of the
lamp revealed a deserted room, the

half-closed door. The room was black
and silent, although / could perceive
dimly the outlines Of furniture.
Something-some vague sense Of
mystery. of danger, gripped me. ! felt
strange choking in the throat, and
reached for the revolver at my belt.
It was not there; the leather holder
was empty. My first sensation was
fear. a belief I was the victim Of
treachery. Then it occurred to my
mind that the weapon might have
fallen from the open holster as l rest

with my hand; 1t was the body Of a
man. The whole truth came to me In

murder, unprecedented probably, and
the assassin had escaped. But which
of the two was the victim? An in
slant l stood there. staring about in
the dark, bewildered and uncertain.
Then I grasped the lamp from the
table in the other room, and returned
holding the light in my hands. The
form of Major HARDWOOD lay extended
on the floor. lifeless, his skull crushed
by an ugly blow. Beside him lay q
revolver, its butt blood-stained. Be-

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

On all farms devoted to diversified
farming live stock is considered one
Of the main money crops.
The average successful farmer de-
rives profit from many sources. He
raises grain, has a small orchard.
keeps few dairy cows, and raises
colts, calves and pigs. He would like
to breed some good sheep, were II
not for the night-prowling dogs of the
neighborhood.
Farming conducted along diversified
lines requires suitable buildings to
house and properly care for the farm
live stock In winter There is a dairy
stable where the milch cows are care
fully provided for, the work horses
have their warm. comfortable stables,
but there always is an overflow, sort
of 'riff-raff" composed of animals OF
different ages. There is no room for
them in the regular stables, but to Sc
cure the profits they must be taken
care of and fed with intelligence.
Young stock requires some kind of
inclosed stable, where they may be
housed during severe weather. They
also require good winter feeding
shelter. for milder days. 1t pays to
stable stock in severe weather to pre-

inch space between the top Of the
rough concrete and the top of the by
4. This quarter-inch is then surfaced
with a richer mixture and struck on
even. The 2 by 4 is then moved feet.
and the process repeated. Short
pieces of by 4, five feet long. are used
for the cross pieces. The joints be-
tween the 5 foot blocks allow for ca
pansion and contraction, so the floor
will not crack.
After the floor is finished out to the
farthest corner, feed racks are built
on the ground close up against the
edge Of the concrete. Feed is carried
to the feed cracks by an overhead
trolley track, which may pass over
the feed racks and dump directly into
them to save labor.
The labor problem is the most seri-
Gus difficulty that diversified farmers
have to contend with. One of the first
things to consider in laying out a
farm building is the labor of using
the building after 1t Is completed.
The old-fashioned way was to attach
the feed racks to the shed posts.
which curtailed the space and caused
great deal of hand work to get the
feed into the racks. They we're also
greatly in the way when removing
the manure. 1t is easy to get to the
outside of an angle, but sometimes it
is difficult to get to the inside of a
shed with fodder enough to satisfy q
lot of hungry animals.
Feed racks for this purpose should
be built for feeding hay and silage
and grain. This requires rack to
hold the hay, and a low-down trough
for silage and grain. To save waste
the bottom should be made tight with
matched boards.
A gate or heavy door may be
hinged at each corner of the shed to
fasten the cattle inside when neces-
sary. II this is done, the feed racks
will form two sides of the Enclosure.
The construction OF the shed is
quite simple. 1t consists of by As for
studding and for rafters. The stud
ding is covered with drop siding, put
on in the usual way. The roof is GOV.
cred with shingles nailed to ordinary
roofing strips. The supporting posts
are 6 by 6. set firmly in the concrete
piers, SO the cattle may hook each
other against them without knocking
them loose.
The attractive appearance of the
shed is due to the proportions and to
the rather wide projection of roof,
with neat cornice.
The shed is painted to match the

SLOPE FOR PEACH ORCHARDS
Importance Of Relatively High EIeva-
ton Disappears When Adjacent
to Large Body Of Water.

Where an orchard occupies a site
that is adjacent to large body OF wa
ter, the importance of a relatively
high elevation largely disappears To
be a factor in the matter, however, a
body of water must be of sufficient
size and depth to have an apprecia-
BILE influence on the local climate. Be-
cause the water warns up in the
spring more slowly than the atmos-
phere, it acts in effect as refrigera-
tor, making the temperature in its
immediate vicinity colder than it is at
points somewhat distant from it. For
this reason, vegetation within the zone
of this influence advances more slowly
in the spring than it does outside Of
that zone. The tendency is for the
poisoning of peach trees situated
within the zone to be delayed until
after the season of spring frosts is
past.
In the fall frosts are delayed in
similar manner, except that the large
body Of water. having absorbed much
heat during the summer, cools off in
