The End of Ramazan.
CHAPTER XIV.

The End of Ramazan.
 On the outskirts of Sidi-beI-Abbes half a dozen Arabs stood and waited patiently They had stood on the same spot since the hour of sunset, watch ing the pale emerald change to deep est sapphire, and had neither moved nor spoken to one another. In their spetless burnooses they had looked like statues placed there as sentinels over the gayly lighted, bustling town behind them. Now, as slowly, gracefully, the thin circle of the new moon rose above the distant line of palms, the foremost Arab bowed himself to the ground.
 The fast Is over. Praise be to Ali. lah, the all-merclful"
 From the distance came the dull reg. ular thud of horses hoofs. A moment later spahi. mounted on a foam. fecked, blood-stained horse, which reeled in its gallop, burst through their midst and swept on toward the gates of the Notifications. As he passed he dragged himself up in his saddle and whirled his hint-lock in a semicircle about his head.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
No. 2. Summer Care of Swine.
By II. K. Sanders, Specialist for Pig
 Club Work.

By II. K. Sanders, Specialist for Pig Club Work.
 All swine, including brood sows and boars.. should live out of doors in the fresh air during the summer months, and whenever possible they should be turned into new lot, which will be most apt to be free from contamina- tion or disease, and thus the hogs will escape intestinal parasites and other ailments. Swine will do at least l5 per cent better on pasture than they will if fed in closed pens. Exer- else makes a strong pig, the lack of It weak pig With succulent pas ture feed and reasonable amount of grain and plenty of exercise pig will develop strong bone. muscle, wig orous digestive tract and good con stitution. However contrary t0 com mon practice, it has been demonstrate ed that pasture alone will not give the best results; pigs must have some grain. The mature pig can hardly subsist on grass and pasture alone, but good pastures of alfalfa. clover or r will more than sustain life.
 The following information taken from Henry's Feeds and Feedings will be interesting to those growing swine on pasture and feeding grain Prof Henry found that a pig weigh Ing 100 pounds consumed eight-tenths of pound of grain and one and six tenths pounds of skim milk per day and made gain of one and six-tenths, and that 25 per cent of the feed given a pig weighing 100 pounds was used For maintenance, while the other IS per cent went to produce daily gain. With the 200-pound hog 36 per cent of the feed went for actual mainte- nance and 64 per cent of the feed went to produce daily gain. Do not forget that it is unproftabIe to keep The pig in the pig pen and feed it corn and slops alone, because the farmer can actually buy bacon from tne grocer man cheaper than it can produced under such conditions. po not depend upon pasture and pas 'ure alone; pasture and a reasonable amount of grain will produce best.
 Good shade should be provided. and running water supplied We'll water IS preferable, but if the supply comes rom spring or brook the farmer should be sure that 1t is safeguarded uom contamination. The greater part oi the weight of a hog is water, con sequently it is very important to see lnat he is supplied with plenty of pure, fresh water during the summer months.
 Frovide artificial wallows, made of cement, that will hold Ave or six inches of water. They are much bet ser than wallow holes. will not spread I'sease, afford much comfort, and are paying proposition where many pigs are kept

there should be general cleaning of the feeding places and ofthe buildings lots and pens used for housing hogs All manure. filth and dirt should be scraped up and put on the farm, where it belongs. Then air-slacke ed lime should be scattered freely in all of these places. especially in the buildings where the hogs make their beds and at their feeding places This acts as disinfectant. Hogs are un- clean and filthy only when they are compelled to be so. They are driven to 1t by force of circumstances over which they have no control, and snen lice get on them, all they can do is to scratch and be annoyed. This makes 1t impossible for the hog to thrive well How can lice be prevent ed? The easiest way is to provide an oiler To do this, drive a stake into the ground near the feeding place, wrap gunny sack around it, tie it tightly. so that the sack cannot come of and saturate with crude oil and keep it saturated; the hog will do the rest. Some people use coal oil mixed with grease. but if you want to laugh at and enjoy appreciatiye hogs, pro vide a self-oiler for them. But do not neglect the simple devices if you can not provide an automatic oiler.
 See that plenty of salt, charcoal, wood ashes, lime. etc, are kept be- fore the hogs at ali times. Hogs crave salt. charcoal acts as a regu- lator. and wood ashes and lime build bone.
 Plan to have plenty of summer le- gumes with which to fatten your hogs on this fall. One acre of Soy beans should graze ten pigs weighing 45 pounds each for 40 or 45 days, when fed one big ear of corn each a day, and at the end of the 40 days the pigs will weigh about 125 pounds. An acre of peanuts yielding 40 bushels will produce 400 pounds of pork, though t is better to feed an ear or two of corn per hog per day as peanuts alone make soft, fiabby pork. One acre of good cowpeas in corn will .arry three pigs weighing 50 pounds lntil they weigh about 225 pounds. making a total gain of about 400 or yoo pounds of pork.

 Her voice was dry. Terror hat stamped out all trace of beauty from her face. Destinn crossed the room and held open a side door.

 She obeyed unresistingly, and with one haunted glance over her shoulder, crept past him into the unlighted room. He closed the door and went back to his table. He was now perfectly calm. Someone knocked imperatively, and he answered the summons with tranquil indifference. As the door opened he glanced up, and the eyes of the two men met fixedly over the wavering candle-fame.
