CHAPTER XIII
Exodus

In the Yellowstone National park
there is an apparently bottomless pit
which can be instantly transformed in
to a spouting, roaring Vesuvius of boil
ing water by the simple expedient OF
dropping bar of soap into it.
The Spotlight went to press at three
o'clock. By the earliest grazing OF
dawn, and long before the sun had
shown itself above the eastern Timan
yonis, Brouillard's bar of soap was
melting and the Metropolitan under
depths were beginning to heave. Like
wi1df1re, the news spread from lip to
lip and street to street, and by sunrise
the geyser was retching and vomiting
belching debris Of cries and maledic-
tions, and pouring excited and riotous
crowds into Chigringo avenue.
Most naturally, the Spotlight office
was the first point of attack, and Har-
Ian suffered loss, though it was incOn-
siderable. At the battering down of
the doors the angry mob found itself
confronting the young reclamation
service chief and four members of his
staff, all armed. Brouillard spoke
briefly and to the point.
Il am the man who wrote that ar
ticle you've been reading, and Mr.. Har-
Ian printed it as a matter of news. II

know where to find me. Now, move

geyser spouted again. The exchanges
were mobbed by eager sellers, each
frenzied struggler hoping against hope
that he might find someone simple

around any nucleus of rumor or gossip

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS
Care Should Be Exercised That 1t Is
Not Pastured Too Closely Cut
Occasionally.

For "growing out" little pigs and
carrying over dry sows a good pasture
is a valuable asset to the hog raiser.
Alfalfa makes the best pasture for
hogs. In pasturing alfalfa, care should
be taken that it is not pastured too
heavily. If this is done, the alfalfa
will be badly killed out in two or
three years and it will be necessary
to reseed. Pasturing should never be
carried on so heavily but that one
half ton of hay per acre can be cut
three times a season. The occasional
cutting of the alfalfa induces new
shoots to grow, and hence greatly in
proves the pasture for the pigs.
