FALL PIGS ARE PROFITABLE
Feed According to the Free-choiee
System and Market Them
in April.

More fall pigs can be raised in Iowa
with proft-but it Is well to market
them in April says the animal hus-
bandry department at Iowa State col
lege.
September fall pigs rightly handled
may be made to weigh better than
225 pounds, u handy, demanded weight,
by April of the following year. 1t Is
being done.
A simple ration of corn, meat meal
tankage and skim milk or buttermilk
Is excellent. Allow rock salt at free
will. Feed all feeds according to the
free-chOice system, that is, put each
In impairment and let the pigs eat
ut will Oats for fall pigs do not pay
if one has plenty of meal tankage and
milk or plenty Of either.
With 70-cent corn the Iowa station
has made gain on fall pigs for $5.l4
per hundred pounds. This compares
favorably with spring pig costs.
A return of $1.10 a bushel of corn
after crediting other feeds, when hogs
sell ut IS, makes fine showing for
the fall pig and for the free-chOice sys-
TEN of swine feeding.
Why not feed some fall pigs as out
lined, this winter?

IDEAL SHELTER FOR WINTER
Tightly Built Shed, With Open Front
on South Side Where Colt May
Come and Go, Is Best.

(By j. MONTGOMERY, Minnesota Agri
cultural Experiment Station)
AS the pastures dry up and cold
weather approaches, the question of
how to care for the growing colt
through the winter confronts the
farmer. Many colts will be taken from
pasture with gosdly store Of fat only
to be turned out to straw pile for
feed and shelter, and will come out
next spring lighter in weight than they
are this fall On the other hand not a

HEALTHY AND VIGOROUS HOGS
Pasture Furnishes Necessary Exercise
In Gathering Succulent Feed
Feed Some Grain.

"Corn for fat and pasture for pork"
said a farmer. He meant, says X. G.
Ashby, assistant animal husbandman
in charge of swine, University farm,
st. Paul, that the pasture furnished
exercise in gathering the green, sue
culent feed, and by keeping the hogs

few colts may be ruined by heavy
feeding in stalls, where they cannot
take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is tight
ly built shed, open to the south, where
the animals may go in and out at their
own pleasure, and where they may
have the run of good big field for
exercise. Idle farm horses can best
be sheltered in the same way. A dry
bed and protection from cold winds,
snow and rain is all that is needed.

Combination of Orchard and Dairy or
Poultry Will Solve Problem
Profit Is Assured.

The small orchard alone will not
permit the employment of competent
help all the year around, but when
combined with dairy or poultry raising
this difficulty is easily overcome, and
the owner is in a much better posi-
ton to take care of his fruit and make
q better profit out of it than he would
be if conducting the orchard alone
with insufficient help.

HINTS FOR SWINE BREEDERS
Purchase Boar With Heavy Bones
Feed Some Grain Twice Each Day
for the Best Results.

Tn purchasing boar it is well to
bear in mind that one with heavy
bones is more to be desired than one
of the slight build.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing, fattening hogs. They
must have some grain twice q day
for best results.
To make fall pigs do well, they must
be provided with warm sleepinglquar-
tiers at night, and filed with sunshine
during the day.

One day in midsummer Alan, to his
disgust, was summoned peremptor1ly
by McDale & McDale. Half an hours
consultation was all they required and
Alan was pleased to End as he left
their offices that he still had plenty
of time to catch the early train back to
Red Hill. There were only two after
noon trains for that difficult goal.
AS he stroIled up the avenue he was
arrested by the sight of a tall figure
standing on the curb watching the
swirl Of the traffic The figure was
dressed in a heavy whipcord suit and
a Stetson hat, uncompromisingly
domed in the very form in which it
had been blocked by the makers. A
street gamin yelled, eli! fellers, look
what's got away from Buffalo Bill!'
Kemp gazed sad-eyed but unmoved
over his dropping mustaches, doubt
less mourning the passing Of the shoot
ing iron and the consequent unanswer-
able affronts of a fostered clviliZa ton.
Alan elbowed his way across the
stream of pedestrians and clutched him
by tbs arm. Kemp whirled around as
if to meet attack, but smiled when he
saw Alan's face 81 was jest calcu-
latin on roundin' you up," he drawled.
"Where did you come from? Where
are you off to 2" cried Alan, and without
waiting for an answer he hailed cab,
hustled Kemp into it and ordered it
to his club. He forgot his early train.
In the club lobby Kemp surrendered
his hat reluctantly to the ready attend
pets to quiet corner where two enor-
nous chairs seemed to be making con-
fidences to each other. One could
imagine them aggrieved at being inter-
rupted and sat upon.

dreary. In the afternoon Mrs. J. 7.
was besieged to surrender the house
and finally did. Alan had gone to his
room and closed the door, The captain
was plunged in invulnerable slumber
Somebody raped ut Alan's door and
he called, Come in." The door opened
and revealed Nance, junior. Behind
her was a giggling, whispering throng
The spirit of fun danced in Nances
eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and
her golden head was in disarray. "Oh,
Cousin Alan" she cried, "grandma's
given US leave for hide and seek and
we're all going to play except mother
and grandma and the captain. Please
come, too, Cousin Alan"
From behind her came a modified
echo, "PIeath do. Couthin Alan.S Alan
smiled and laid down his book. "All
right" he laughed.
Maple House was a rambling abode
that had grown and spread like the
gia Mt naples that sheltered it. In what
age the captain had demanded a wing
or some bygone Nance nursery for
her children was chfonicled in the an
nails Of the house itself, to be revealed
only to the searching, architectural
eye. The key TO the rambling struc-
ture lay in the thick-walled dining
room, the parlor. one bedroom and the
Kitchen.
From the nucleus OF these four
rooms Maple House had grown, i'm
posed and superimposed, until it over
flowed the arbitrary bourne of kitch-
ems and front doors and like some
mounded vine rippled off on all sides,

CHAPTER XxVllI-Continued,

The SUFFICIENTLY of a sick man dis

and abandons her weapons of attack

taken up with the state of his insides.
Glen was unaffected, even tender. with
Alan as long as he was weak, but as
his strength returned to him she with
drew, one by one and gently. the init
mate attentions woman accords to
babes and the related helpless. But
there was nothing absolute in her with
drawal; 1t was more tempt3 ton than
denial. born of woman's innate de-
sire to be pursued While Alan was
merely convalescent it contained sup
pressed gayety, half demure, half mis-
chievous, but when his full strength
came back and he failed to pursue, the
gayety arrested itself, turned into
questioning usefulness and ended in
the secret shame and bushes of the
repulsed and undesired.
Glen saw Alan build a barrier
against her, a barrier of little things,
each insignificant in itself but each
lending and borrowing the strength of
accumulation. Alan spent hours with
the old captain, walked, rode and
talked with J. Y. and the judge. Be-
tween them. j. Y. and the judge had
fixed up Lieber's affair and Alan had
cabled.
In the midst of women Alan seemed
to be able to forget wOman-to forget
her Intentionally. There was nothing
pointed in his avoidance He kept his
distance from Alix and Nance and
Jane Elton in the same measure as
from Glenn There was thus none of
the single avoidance of the shy swain
who lavishes attentions on all but her
whom he would most dearly sue. Glenn,
least vain of beautiful women, sat long
hours before her glass. Never before
had the charms it revealed been Ques-
toned, never had she been forced to
close in the ranks and call up the re-
serves, and now she felt at a loss. I'M
accustomed to the ready moves of the
coquette. Glen dropped her face in
her hands and-cried.

Clem's was not the only troubled
heart on the Hill At The Firs Mrs.
Lansing moved restlessly from room
to room and stopped often to read and
re-read a crumpled note-Gerry's note
to Alix.
Alix was still in town. Mrs. Ian
sing had written to her and then wired.
iAlix replied telling her not to come,
that she wished to be alone. For hours
at a time Mrs. Lansing replaced the
nurse at Gerry, juniors, side. He
helped her. She felt that he could help
Alix.
She was almost glad when he devel-
oped some trifiing ailment becoming
to his years. She wired again and this
time Alix came, frightened. Alix was
like q wilted flower, but she braced
herself until Gerry. junior, recovered
into his healthy self. Then she dropped
once more and refused to be COM
forted
If it had not been for Alan, Alix'
trouble would have cast gloom over
the rest of Red Hill. but it was known
that Alan had sought out Mrs. Lam
sing and told her that not even he
knew just how Gerry's battle stood.
but that he did know that there was
battle and that Gerry would surely
come back as soon as he had fought
his way clear.
So the Hill in general went almost
untroubled on its way trying to forget
that it was still awaiting fulfllment,
and even Alix began TO CLEAN little
comfort from the thought that hope
was but deferred. Her heart was sick.
her faith weak, but hope still lived.
She chung through the long days to
Gerry. Junior, and waited.
At Maple House the beating or
young hearts amounted to a din, but
it was suddenly stilled by a day of
drenching rain. After the very tame
excitement of seeing j. L. and the
Judge off for the city, gloom settled

There were hooks that were satisfied

sloping lawns and threatened a further

Inside, the paths of daily life ran
clearly enough through the maze, but

case and duly admonished IN treble
voices not TO look The treble voices

ried away py youths confidence in it's
ability to teach its grandmother how
to suck eggs. Alan started to count
slowly in sonoraus tones. With a last
shrek and the pAtter of many feet the
trebles faded away into silence.
Alan crept stealthily up the stairs.
Out of the corner of his eye be caught
sight of the twitching jumpers OF the
littlest, who was too fat to quite fit the
retreat he had chosen. But Alan did
not quite see until it was too late. The
littlest exploded the vast breath he
had been holding in and plunged head
long down the stairs. As he rolled by
the newell he stuck out a sturdy arm
and held fast. He shouted a pean of
victory and once more palpitating 81
lence fell on the house.
Alan wondered if he could find the
way to the little attic. He hurried
along the twisted halls, up a tiny flight
of steps, turned, dived through a low
narrow tunnel and threw open the
long forgotten door. 1t was as though
he had suddenly opened a portal on his
own childhood. A great, pensioned
rocking chair held the middle of the
floor as within his ken it always had
held it. Ancient garments hung from
pegs on the walls and from hooks on
the rafters. A box or two and more
disabled furniture Uttered the floor
The whole vas family lit up by the
light from a little dOrmer window
Nothing stirred. Alan drew a long
breath. He was not disappointed No
one had thought to come here but him
self.
Suddenly bit Of the pendent ward
robe was flung aside and an apparition
dashed for the door. Alan sprang in
front of it, threw his arms around it,
held it tight. 1t struggled, laughed,
ceased to struggle, and looked up as
Alan looked down. Clem's face was
very near to his. Her body, still throb-
bling with excitement, was in his arms
Alan felt such a rfoting surge in his
blood as he had never known before.
He wanted to kiss Glen. He felt that
he must kiss her, that there was not
strength enough left in him to do any
thing else. Then his eyes met hers
and he forgot himself and remembered
Glenn His soul cried, "Sacrilege," and
he dropped his arms from about her
and stepped back.
Glenn stood before him, dazed. She
was in her stockinged feet. In each
hand she held little slipper. Her
eyes were big and full of the soft re-
proach of the mortally wounded. Alan
felt ashamed and looked away. He
had to break the silence. "WelI, you're
caught" he said lamely.
Glenn dropped one slipper, threw up
her hand and brushed the disordered
hair from her forehead. Eyes, I'm
caught" she said, and her lip trembled
on the words.
