all. they were as much partisans as
they had been before they were issued
state rifles. The battle, If it came,
would be as fractional as the fight of rs
years ago, when the Hollmans held
the store and the Souths the court
house. But back Of all that lay one es-
sential difference, and it was this diff
ference that had urged the governor
to stretch the forms of law and put
such dangerous power into the hands
Of ore man. That difference was the
man himself. He was to take drastic
steps, but he was to take them under
the forms of law, and the state execu-
tive believed that, having gone through
worse to better, he would maintain the
improved condition.
Early that morning, men began to
assemble along the streets Of Hixon;
and to congregate into sullen clumps
with set faces that denoted a grim,
unsmiling determination. Not only the
Hollmans from the town and immedi-
ate neighborhood were there, but their
shaggier. fiercer brethren from remote
creeks and covers, who came only at
urgent call, and did not come without
intent of vindicating their presence.
Old Jake Holman, from "over yon'' on
the headwaters of Dryhole creek
brought his son and fOurteen-year-ol
grandson, and all of them carried WIN
chesters. Long before the hour Tor
the courthouse bell to sound the call
which would bring matters to crisis,
women disappeared from the streets,
and front shutters and doors closed
themselves. At last, the Souths began
to ride in by half-dozens, and to hitch
their horses at the racks. they also
fell into groups well apart. The two
factions eyed each other somberly,
sometimes nodding or exchanging
greetings, for the time had not yet
come to fight. Slowly, however. the
Hollmans began centering about the
courthouse. They swarmed in the
yard, and entered the empty Jail, and
overran the halls and offices of the
building itself. The Souths, now COM
ing In a solid stream, flowed with
equal unanimity to McEwer's hotel,
near the square, and disappeared in
side. Besides their rifles, they carried
saddlebags, but not one of the uni
forms which some of these bags con-
tanned, nor one of the cartridge belts,
had yet been exposed to view.
Stores opened, but only for desul-
tory pretense of business. Horsemen
led their mounts away from the more
public racks, and tethered them to
back fences and willow branches in
the shelter of the river banks, where
stray bullets would not find them.
The dawn that morning had still
been gray when Samson South and
Captain Callomb had passed the Mil
Ter cabin. Callomb had ridden slowly
on around the turn of the road, and
waited quarter of a mile away. He
was to command the militia that day,

fire season was close at hand. The
materials available consisted of 300
feet OF three-quarter-inch rope in four
pieces, the longest being 100 feet in
length; two double blocks six inches
long, and one single sheave block OF
the same size. The tools consisted OF
axes, two-men saws, hatchets, crow
bars. two pairs of linemen's climbers
and belts and brace and bit. Tele-
phone wire was used for guys. the
crew was made up Of temporar1es ana
two rangers. At the start there were
eight men, including one cook, one
teamster and the man in charge. BY
the time the tower was half-built the
crew was cut down to four men, but
Notwithstanding these adverse condi-
tons, the work was done, and well
done, and did excellent service, and
will continue to do so for some time
to come.

CHAPTER XVI.

The governor had been more inf1u-
enced by watching the two as they
talked than by what he had heard.

gested quietly, "that you are both over
looking my presence" He turned to
Callomb.

arranged between the two of you
(Which, since / know you, know was
not the CASEY has shed more light on
this matter than the testimony of a
dozen witnesses. After all, I'm still
the governor"
The militiaman seemed to have for
gotten the existence of his distin-
guished kinsman, and, at the voice, his
eyes came away from the face Of the
man he had not wanted to capture, and
he shook his head.
"You are merely the head Of the ex-
ecutive branch" he said. "You are as
helpless here as l am. Neither Of us
can interfere with the judicial gentry,
though we may know that they stink
to high heaven with the stencil of
blood. After a conviction, you can
pardon, but pardon won't help the

| MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm AnimalS

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures, sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On farm of 100 acres or over, it.
pays much better to sell sheep as NUT.
ton instead of stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in a lot to
be fed by themselves, and il you are
determined to keep the poor ones put
them in a different lot and do the
best you can with them. Better sell
them, though.
If your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need of attention which
their mother cannot give them, dilute
cows milk with about one-third wa
ter.
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease, which is great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal.
No animal on the farm is an dainty
as the sheep when it comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch it.
If you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy q ram on your own
judgment, but get some man who
owns sheep to buy it for you. And
don't be stingy in the matter of price.
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries to
keep up with the times cannot afford
to miss.
If you intend to go into the sheep
business better go to the state fair
this fall.

MOST NATURAL OF QUERIES
Probably First Interrogation That
Was Ever Made Was, Hs IL
Good to Eat?"

In Farm and Fireside Herbert
Quick, editor of that publication,
writes an editorial in which he brought
out many interesting facts as to the
use of various meats as food. Follow
ting is an interesting extract from his
article:
Whenever we boys found anything

which looked not absolutely repul-

THAT is the Oldest question in the
world. Every animal asks it a dozen
times a day, and lets sight and smell
answer it. Now that war is making a

poor condition to resist any disease
that is liable to attack him under such
condition. 1t is all right to crowd pigs
from birth to maturity provided they
are crowded with growth as well as
fat.
The first two months must be spent
in building up a frame work and con-
stitution which will carry load of fat
which is to be put on during the close
of the feeding period.
The wise feeder does not figure so
much on the amount of fat he can put
on his hogs as he does on how quickly
and cheaply he can prepare them for
market and how much profit he can
make during the feeding period.
The farmer who has a hundred
acres of corn and no clover pasture or
alfalfa is not in good position as re-
CARDS hog feeding. Glover, alfalfa,
wheat bran, pumpkins and skim milk
are all necessary to the proper feed
ing of hogs from the time they are
pigs to the time they are sent to mar
ket. If man has no sensible knowl-
edge Of balanced rations, he can, il
he is a close observer and possess
of common sense, generally tell WI ~
his hogs are making the right kind W
growth.
If he observes his hogs becoming
chubby with rolls of fat, skin pale,i
showing anemic conditions, listless
and lacking ia snap and vigor, he will
know that they are getting too muchI
corn and will change or vary his RAJ
ton to overcome these unfavorable
conditions.

CHICKEN DRIVER Is
NOT HARD TO MAKE
Simple Palm Leaf Fan Wired to
Long Stick Will Prove En-
tireIy Satisfactory.

Not very easy to drive young chick
ems where they don't want to go. "Shoo-
ing" with the apron or throwing up
the arms only serves to brighten them,
and rarely accomplishes the object de-
sired.
A simple palm leaf fan wired to
a long stick, used gently, the young
chicks may be guided in any direc-
ton. and are never frightened.
This device is especially good for
the purpose of driving ducks, as they
are extremely nervous and easily
frightened.

With new corn the greatest danger
Is In overlooking. Farmers who have
old corn left over who will take the
trouble to mix it with the new, can
feed the new crop to very good adj
vantage because the green stuff is
greatly relished by the pigs and 1t
adds to the palatability of the old
corn.
But it is a mistake to start hogs on
new corn alone and all we'll informed
feeders know that It takes more grain
and longer time to make fat hogs from
new than from old corn.
Another thing: 1t Is believed by
many hog raisers that heavy feeding
with new corn produces cholera.
While this is not likely, it is almost
certain to produce disturbance of the
digestive organs and prevent that
steady laying on of fat which Is the
aim Of all feeders.
We all know that corn is the most
iattening feed that can be used but
many of us have not yet learned that
constant and heavy fSet1ing of this
grain alone produces serious trouble
and does not make as good pork as
when fed judiciously with other kinds
Of food.
When hog Is stuffed with corn and
aothing else, he soon becomes over
lattened and his growth stops, simply
because he does not get the proper
material in his food to make bone and
muscle and his fat is piled on small,
weak frame.
A corn-fat hog is also deficient in
rich blood, lacks stamina and is In a

HARNESS OI[ING is
JOB FOR RAINY DAY
Little Use in All Kinds Of Weather
Works a Great Change
In F!exibiIity.

Harness oiling is rainy day job on
the farm and a regular part of the
stable work in the city.
It's vitality necessary part, too.
There's no trouble about spelling a
harness-the question with the horse
owners is how not to spoil harness.
A very little use in all kinds of
weathers works great change in the
f1exibility and "snappiness" Of harness
leather. 1t gets hard, dry, lifeless-
crossed and recrossed with little
checks which eat into the leather and
soon bring it to the breaking point.
Every man who owns or drives q
horse knows that the preventive and
cure is oiling.

Plan Maori Memorial.

The Victoria league in Auckland,
New Zealand, has scheme OF hand
by which it is hoped that the land on
which an old Maori pa" Ga fortified
native village) stood may be secured
as a perpetual memorial to the Maori
warriors who fought and died there so
years ago. At present a public road
runs through the center of the pa,
and the object of the Victoria league
is not only to prevent further destruc-
ton, but to secure for all time the
site Of the pa, and restore it as far
as possible to its original formation.

@In Japan the meat of a red dog is

Most Profitable Hous.

Hogs that make the most profitable
feeders are those that are heavy feed
ers, says Professor Samson of Oregon
Agricultural college. Careful tests
show poor feeders used 46S pounds OF
feed for each 100 pounds of gain; big
feeders required only 418 pounds on
the average.

Previously the market had been de-

ed revival of export demand, however,
had prevented the break in Chicago
from being anything like as far reach
