MoLDY FEED IS DANGEROUS
Farmers Are Losing Cattle From Eat
ing Acorns-Take Precautions
to Keep Poisons Out


It Is dangerous to give nodded OF
spoiled hay and other feeds to live
stock, especially horses. Such feed is
apt TO cause sickness and even death.
We have heard OF instances where
farmers have lost q number OF valu-
able animals from this cause. Care
should be exercised to see that all feed
is in good condition. Hay put up when
too damp may mold, corn and oats
often harbOr various kinds Of fungous
diseases that may be poisonous to
stock, and corn silage when improper
~ stored may cause trouble The food
an animal eats has a marked influence
upon its physical well-being. We are
informed that, in Wisconsin, farmers
are losing cattle from eating acorns
picked up in the pastures. Young cat
tie are particularly affected. Sheep
and hogs can eat the acorns without
bad effects, and mich cows seldom die
from this cause, but young calves are
poisoned and little can be done for
them It is the part OF wisdom to take
precautions to keep feeds known 10 be
dangerous away from animals, and
give them only that which is In good
and sound ondition.-Farmers Guide.

HINTS FOR THE HORSE LOVER

ones-keep Things Orderly.

The horse that is "an legs" is not
the one you want Try TO get those
that are well set, neither too long
legs nor too long bodies
When a good horse lags don't put
the whip on and make IT go anyway.
Stop and look into the matter. That
horse is not well If it were II would

to work when you are sick The
horse is most like a man OF any Hv-

It is foolish for the farmer to get
the notion that he can win money on
the track with his horses. It is all
right to give the horses a chance to
show what is In them, but don't do
1t for money ever.
Have the sides Of your stalls well
nailed to place. Horses sometimes
find out that they can crowd the
partitions out of place and once they
get that habit they will make life mis-
cradle for you.
Some horses have a way Of throw

thing they do after feeding. IF you
feed through a chute from overhead

He was a man.
Old lSpicer South, restored to an
echo of his former robustness by the
call Of action, gave the clans verdict
Hit hain't the cote we're skeered

won't never git into no cote. He'll be

The officer held out his hand.
"As man to man. he said, 81 pledge
you my word that no one shall take
him except by process of law. I'm not

For a space old South looked into
the soldiers eyes and the soldier
looked back.
"I'1l take yore handshake on thet
bargain" said the mountaineer, grave
~. 'Tam'rack," he added, in a voice
Of f1nality, we've got ter CO."
The officer had meant what he said.
He marched his prisoner into Hixon
at the center Of hollow square, with
muskets at the ready. And yet, as the
boy passed into the courthouse yard,
with a soldier rubbing elbows on each
side, a clearly aimed shot sounded
from somewhere. The smokeless pow
der told no tale, and with blue shirts
and army hats circling him, Tamarack
fell and died.
That afternoon one of HoIlman's
henchmen was found lying in the road
with his Ifeless face in the water of
the creek. The next day, as old Spicer
South stood at the door of his cabin,
a rife barked from the hillside, and he
fell, shot through the left shoulder By
| a bullet intended for his heart All
this while the troops were helplessly
camped at Hixon. They had power
and inclination to go out and get men,
| but there was no man to get.
The Hollmans had used the soldiers
as far as they wished; they had made
them pull the chestnuts out of the
fire and Tamarack Spicer out of his

swear out additional warrants.

store an instant after the shot which

found the building empty.
Back beyond, the hills were impene-

Old Spicer South would ten years
ago have put a bandage on his wound
and gone about his business, but now
he tossed under his patchwork quilt,
and Brother Spencer expressed grave
doubts for his recovery. With his
counsel unavailable Vile McCager, by
common consent, assumed something
like the powers of a regent and took
upon himself the duties to which Sam
son should have succeeded.
That a Holman should have been

CHAPTER XIII.

Tamarack Spicer sat on the top of
a box car, swinging his legs over the
side. He was clad in oVeralls, and in
the pockets of his breeches reposed
a bullying flask of red liquor, and an
unbulging pay envelope. Tamarack
had been "railroading'' for several
months this time. He had made a
new record for sustained effort and
industry, but now June was beckon-
ling him to the mountains with vaga-
bond yearnings for freedom and lei
