GUARD AGAINST MUSTY OATS
When Fed Continuously There Is Like
Iihood That Severe Intestinal
Troubles May Result.

Many state experiment stations are
warning the farmers to beware of
feeding their stock, especially the
horses, musty oats during the coming
winter. When fed continuously there
is great likelihood that severe intes-

Blind staggers is disease caused
by mold which thrives on denied corn,
damp barley, oats and spoiled feeds of
all kind. When it is necessary to feed
grain in this condition little common
salt should be given with the grain at

ementS Tor SO many years, the civ
mad, all at once, discovered that the
conoltion was unbearable! The free
and entirely uncurbed metropolitan
press had taken up, with great enthu-
slasm, the work of poking the finger
OF scorn at Vedder court. It had pub
hsned photographs of the disreputable
old sots of buildings. and, where they
ol6 not seem to drip enough, the
artists. had retouched them. 1t had
sent budding young Poes and Dick
enses down there to write up the
place. 1t had sent the sob sisters
there In shoals to interview the down
trodden. and. above all things, 1t had
put prominently before the public eye
the immense profit which Market
Square church wrung from this or
gained misery!
Gail turned sick at heart "a she
read. Uncle Jim permitted four
morning papers to come to the house,
and the dripping details, with many
variations, were in all of them. She
glanced over toward the rectory and
the dignified old church standing be-
yond it, with mingled indignation and
humiliation. A sort of ignominy
seemed to have descended up it, like
a man whose features seem coarsened
from the instant he is doomed to wear
prison stripes; and the fact which she
particularly resented was that por-
ton Of the disgrace of Market Square
church seemed to have descended
upon her. She could not make out
why this should be; but it was Aunt
Grace Sargent, bustling about to see
that Gail was supplied with more
kinds of delicacies than she could pos
sibly sample. saw that unmistakable
look of distress on Calls face, and
went straight up to her sister Helen.
the creases of worry deep in her brow.
Mrs. Helen Davies was having her
coffee in bed, and she continued that
absorbing ceremony while she con-
sidered her sisters news.
Il did not think that Gail was so
deeply affected by the occurrences of
last night" she unused; "but of course

vocal cords. there is not the slightest
doubt. 1t is worth repeating, that the
public might have done something
about Vedder court! AS things were,
1t grew most satisfactorily indignant.
IL talked OF nothing else, in the sub
ways and on the lis" and on the sur
race lines, and on the cindery COM
muter trains; and on the third day
OF the agitation, before something else
should happen to shake the populace
TO the very foundation OF It's being, the
city authorities condemned the We'd
oer court property as unsanitary, in
human and unsafe, as menace to the
public morals, health and life, and as
blot upon civilization: this last be-
ing fancy touch added by Tim Cor
man himself. who, in his old age, had
tendency to link poetry to his prac-
ticability. In consequence of this de-
cision. the city authorities ordered
Vedder court to be forthwith torn
down, demolished and removed from
the face of the earth: thereby justify
Ing, after all, the existence of the free
and entirely uncurbed metropolitan
press! The exact psychological mo-
ment had been chosen. The public,
caught at the very height Of its frenzy,
applauded, and ate it's dinner in virtu-
GUS satisfaction; and Gail Sargent's
distress crystallized into much cas-
Ter thing to handle; just plain anger!
And SO Market Square church had
persisted in clutching its greedy hold
on commercial advantage so vile
that even a VIGOROUSLY corrupt city
government had ordered it destroyed!
Her mind was immensely relieved
about Rev. Smith Boyd. She had
chosen well and wisely!

conduct them as a benefit to the
people rather than to our own peck
cts"
That's clever way of putting it,
commended Jim Sargent. Its time
we did something to get rid of our
disgrace" and he was most earnest
about it. He had been the most un-
comfortable of all these vestrymen in
the past few days; for the disgrace
Of Market Square church had been
very reliable topic Of conversation in
Gail Sargent's neighborhood.
The nasal voice of smooth-shaven
old Joseph G. Clark drawled into the
little silence which ensued.
what about the cathedral?" he
asked, and the hush which followed
was far deeper than the one which
he had broken. Even Rev. Smith Boyd
was driven to some fairly profound
thought. His bedroom and his study
were lined with sketches of the stu
pendously beautiful cathedral, the
most expensive in the world in which
he was to disseminate the gospel.
Suppose we come back to earth"
resumed Clark, who had built the
Standard Cereal company into mon
opoly of all the breadstuffs by that
process. IF we rebuild we set our
selves back in the cathedral project
ten years. You can't wipe out what
you call our disgrace. even if you
give all these paupers free board and
compulsory baths. My proposition Is
to telephone FOR Edward e. Allison,
and tell him we're ready to accept
his offer"
mot while I'm member Of this
vestry," declared Nicholas Van Ploon,
swiveling himself to defy Joseph G.

Il put Mr.. Clark's proposition as a
notion" jerked w. T. Chisholm, and
in the heated argument which en-
sued, the Good Shepherd in the win
dow. taking advantage of the shifting
sun, removed from the room the light
Of the red robe.
In the end, the predetermined
members won over the sentimental
lists, IL Nicholas Van PloOn could be
classed under that heading. and ALI
son was telephoned. Before they
were through wrangling over the de-
cision to have him meet them, Alli-
son was among them. One might al
most have thought that he had been
waiting for the call; but he ex-
changed no more friendly glances
with Clark and Chisholm, of the new
international Transportation COM
pany, than he did with any of the
others.
well, Allison, we've decided to &C
cept your offer for the Vedder court
property" stated Manning.
Il haven't made you any. but I'm
willing" returned Allison.
Jim Sargent drew from his pocket
a memorandum slip.
"You offered US sum which, 1T
three and half per cent, would &C
crue, in ten years, to forty-two mil
lion dollars" he reminded the presi-
dent of the Municipal Transportation

LIGHT HEIFERS FOR FEEDING
Buyers Estimate Doubling of Weight
by Next July or August as Result
of Long Rest.

The tendency to feed heifers still
prevails with many cattle feeders. Ex-
travagantly high prices, seemingly,
are being paid for light heifers to go
into the pastures and stalk fields to be
roughed through the winter and then,
corn fed on grass next summer for the
fat cattle market
A doubling Of weight by next July
or August is about the estimate these
buyers are figuring on as ten months
result of growth and gain. In case
any prove to be bred, they are no spe-
cial disappointment, as the calf with
the mother present good money in
vestment for the market of next sum-
mer.

STRAW SHED FOR LIVE STOCK.
Satisfactory and inexpensive Method
of Securing Ample Protection
for Farm Animals.

A stable that will protect from cold
weather and storms may be construct
ed with little expense when straw is
plentiful Each COW, if to be tied,
needs about fifty square feet of floor
space to allow for manger, feed alley,
place for her to stand and room to
get behind her for milking, cleaning,
etc. Young stock will need about half
as much space. A barn 16x9O feet or
one 32x45 will furnish room enough for
twenty COWS and ten head of young
stock.
A straw shed for cattle should be
seven or eight feet high. The construc-
ton of such buildings is very simple.
Posts are usually set in the ground
eight to twelve feet apart, and strong
timbers put on top of these with poles
close enough together to carry the
straw on top of the timbers. Walls
are constructed by making two walls
two or more feet apart and packing
with straw. These walls may be made
of poles, boards or woven wire, as de-
sired.
Hogs will require from ten to fif-
teen square feet of floor space each
in straw shed. Fifty hogs will re-
quire shed about 20x30 feet in size.
1t is better to keep the hogs in sep
arate building from the cattle. The
shed for hogs need not be more than
four or five feet high. It is advisable
to make the walls tight, using woven
wire, or something equally good, so the
hogs will not work out through the
wall.

breathlessly inquired.
Mrs. Davies poured herself some

"She refused him."
"Oh!" and acute distress settled on
Grace Sargent's brow, with such a
firm clutch that it threatened to
homestead the location. Mrs. Sar-
gent shared the belief of Rev. Smith

In consequence OF this kindly deci-

The mere fact that she had no time to
