 Good Lord!" growled Handley. They didn't need any new stunts. They had the world by the ear, as it was"
 That's all right" returned Leshing- ton; maybe they didn't. I heard a thing or two over at Bongras last night that set me guessing. There was a plece of gossip coming up the pike about the railroad pulling out of the game, or, rather, that it had already pulled out"
 Once more silence fell upon the group in the mapping room, and this tims it was Grislow who broke it.
 T suppose Harlan is getting ready to exploit the new sensation right? he suggested, and Anson nodded.
 You can trust Harlan for that. 1,n and he Is waiting for the first man to come in with the news of the sure thing and the location of it. When he gets the facts he'll touch off the fire works, and the world will be invited to take a running jump for the new Ionopah." Then, with sudden anxiety: T wish to goodness Brouillard would turn up and get busy on his job It's something hideous to be stranded this way in the thick of storm!'
 It's time somebody was getting busy" snarled Handley. There are a hundred tons of fresh concrete lying in the forms, just as they were dumped with no puddlers-to say nothing of half as much freezing to solid rock right now in the mixers and on the telphers."
 Grislow got up and reached for his coat and hat
 I'm going out to hunt for the boss" he said, "and you fellows had better do the same. If this is one of Cort- wright's fip-faps, and Brouillard hap pened to be in the way, I wouldn't put it beyond J. Wesley to work some kind of disappearing racket on the human obstacle"

 But the corridor door had opened ana closed and Brouillard was gone
 Two hours later Mirapolis the nhro- netic had a new thrill, shock so cleo. trlfylng that the rumor of the rail. road halting decision sank into insig- nlflcance and was forgotten. The sud denly-evoked excitement focused in a crowd besieging the window of the principal jewelry shop-focussed more deEnltely upon square of white pa- per 1n the window in the center of which was displayed a little heap of virgin gold in small nuggets and coarse grains.
 While the crowds in the street were still struggling and fighting to get near enough to read the labelling pla- card, the Daily Spotlight came out with an extra which was all headlines, the telegraph wires to the East were buzzing, and the town had gone mad. The gold specimen-so said the pla- card and the news extra-had been washed from one of the bars in the Niquoia.
 By three o'clock the madness had eliminated in the complete stoppage or all work among the town builders and on the great dam as well, and gold-crazed mobs were frantically dig glng and banning on every bar in the river from the valley outlet to the power dam five miles away.

(By w. R. DODSON Louisiana EXperi-
 ment Station.)
 One of the most frequent questions asked in regard to grazing is, How many hogs will an acre carry?" It is Impossible to answer such a general question in a very definite way It can be answered approximately in the following way
 Hogs from eight to twelve months old ought to average a pound and half to two pounds of grain per day during the fattening period. We know approximately the amount of food re- quired to make this amount of grain, and if we make a guess of the yield we can make an appropriate guess of the number of hogs required to con- sume the crop in a given time. A crop of 25 bushels of corn, with the ac- companylng cowpeas, ought to make 4O0 pounds of pork, or be the equiva- lent of feed for one hog for 200 days. Ii we want to consume that amount in 50 days, it would require seven hogs. If the hogs are of mixed ages, includ- ing pigs, it will carry an average of ten to twelve hogs per acre. Peanuts would make little more pork per acre than corn, but when the carbohy- drates are added to more nearly bal ance the ration, the pigs will be main tained fol as long time on peanuts as the corn will carry them. The same acreage In sweet potatoes will carry the hogs from one and one-half to two times as long as an acre of corn, if the

:, Seven objections to A one-cron sve :, tenn of agriculture are set forth in cir cular NO. 56 of the office of the sec , retary, which is reprint of an ad
 dress delivered by Bradford Knapp at
 a conference of southern bankers.
 1he reasons why one-crop system is
 unsafe are stated by MT. Knapp to be
 as follows:
 "First-Beeause the system de.
 pends upon market and crop condt- t1ons of the one crop alone. Failure or crop or failure of market alike 1 bring serious disaster.
 Second-Because it fails to provide TOT the maintenance of soil fertility
 Third-Because it fails to provide for sufficient livestock ministry to consume the waste products of the farm and make its waste lands nro. | ductive.
 fourth-Because it does not nro- Vlde for system of farm manage. ment under which labor. teams and tools may be used to the fullest advan. tage.
 "Fifth-Because it brings return in cash, but once year instead of turn. Ing the money over more than once 3 year.
 S1xth-Because it does not pro. 1uce the necessary foods to sunnlv ne people upon the farm and keen 'hem in health and strength

potatoes are supplemented with proper protein-bearing food. Therefore, on good average land, one can carry from ten to twelve head of mixed hogs per acre through the fattening stage. On poor land the number would be re- duced, and on rich land, the number would be increased
 The amount of winter grazing that can be secured is very variable, be- ing influenced very largely by the amount of growing weather that pre- vails during the winter. In general, two sows with accompanying pigs can
