fortlngly. So they progressed the long
and dusty road back to the Master
Key" Ii WAS dark when they ar
rived, and Kane was able to take his
dazed and much bruised charge into
the cook shanty without being observ-

still but half conscious and willingly
submitted to being put to bed, though
he still protested that he wanted his
coat.

demanded Kane.
John opened his eyes widely, for the
hrst time cognizant OF his surround

"All my money is In IT."
Tom Kane sat on the chair beside
him, dish towel IN hand, as a sort OF
emblem of authority. and demanded Ia
his careful tones. There wasn't any
thing else In the coat. JohnT" He bent
his white head as IL to catch a whis-

shout:
There was that check from the

But that doesn't change matters any.

out an old deerskin poke and from Ii

all that matters-find that little girl.

measures.
Fifteen minutes later Dorr was

BEEF TYPE BULLS.
Southern Cotton Oil Mills Adopt Plan
to Encourage Raising of Beef Cats
tie.

The Southern Cotton Seed Crush-
ers' Association, at the annual meets
ingg which was held at Old Point
Comfort Va, last week. tentatively
adopted plan that, when put into
operation, will prove an immediate
stimulus, to the extension of beef cat.
tie industry in the South. The asso.
citation decided that eacn oil mill shall
purchase a registered bull Of a beef
breed to be kept at the mill for the
cattle raisers of the vicinity. the SER
vice to be free or only a normal
charge to be made. BY this means it
is expected that greater interest in the
raising of beef cattle will be develop
ed in a shorter time than would 9TH
erwise be possible, and that by cross
ing standard types of beef cattle on
the native stock the value of the cat
tie on the farms of the South will be
largely increased within few years.
The plan has not been completely
worked out in detail, but it is practi-
cally assured that it will be carried
out in cooperation with the live stock
department of the agricultural coll
leges, the bulls being seelcted and
purchased by the live stock experts OF
the colleges. In this State the oil
mills will work in cooperation with
IClemSon college. - 4.
The cotton seed oil mills are as vi
tally interested in the development
of the live stock industry in the South
as. the farmers themselves. since the
ablishment of cattle raising on q
large scale means the creation of q
local market for cotton seed meal that
will absorb the output of the milisl.
At the present time a market for cot
ton seed meal and cake has to be-
sought in Europe, and a local mar
ket is preferable. apart from the fact
that the development of the live stock
industry in the South means crop di-
versitication, soil fertility and general
prosperity. The oil mills sell mill
lions of tons of cotton seed meal to
the Southern farmers for use as fer
tilizer, but it is recognized that the
use of cotton seed meal for fertilizer
is an economic waste. and that the
most profitable way to use cotton seed
meal is TO feed it to cattle. since by
feeding value of the meal and the fer
tiliZer value at the same time.
