in camp. His master was young and
smooth-faced, and he helped from the
sledge another man whose hands were
fastened In front of him by curious
black rings. Again it was later-and
he was lying before great fire. His
master was sitting opposite him, with
his back to a tent, and as he looked,
there came out of the tent the man

rings were gone and his hands were
free. and in one of thea he carried a

In four freight offices handling the

fastened to trees Just within the outer
circle of freight Kazan saw the
shadowy forms and cleaning eyes OF
his teammates. He stood stiff and mo-
tionless while Thorpe fastened him to
q sledge. Once more he was back in
his forests-and in command. His
mistress was laughing and clapping
her hands delightedly in the excite
ment of the strange and wonderful life
of which she had now become part.
Thorpe had thrown back the flap of
their tent, and she was entering ahead
of him. She did not look back. She
spoke no word to him. He whined,
and turned his red eyes on McCready.
In the tent Thorpe was saying:
"Tm sorry old Jackpine wouldn't go
back with us, Issy. He drove me
down, but for love or money couldn't
get him to return. He's Mission In
dian, and I'd give months salary to

He's queer chap, the company's agent
here tells me. iand knows the woods

stranger. Kazan isn't going to take

Kazan heard the girls voice, and
stood rigid and motionless listening to
it. He did not hear or see McCready
when he came up stealthily behind
him. The mans voice came as sud-
denly us a shot at his heels.
"Pedro!'
In an instant Kazan cringed as If
touched by q lash.
"Got you that time-didn't l, you old
devill" whispered McCready, his face
strangely pale in the freight.

For a long time after he had uttered
those words McCready sat in silence
beside the fire. Only for moment or
two at time did his eyes leave Ka-
zan. After little, when he was sure
that Thorpe and Isobel had retired for
the night, he went into his own tent
and returned with flask of whisky.
During the next half-hour he drank
frequently. Then he went over and
sat on the edge Of the sledge, just be-
yond the reach Of Kazan's chain.
"Got you, didn't I?' he repeated, the
effect Of the liquor beginning to show
in the glitter of his eyes. "Wonder
who changed your name, Pedro. And
how did he come by you? Ho, no, If
you could only talk"
They heard Thorpe's voice inside the
tent. It was followed by a low, girlish
peal of laughter, and McCready jerked
himself erect. His face blazed sud-

ROUGHAGE FOR
WINTER FEEDING
How to Supply Efficient and Eco
nomicaI Ration in Cold
Weather.
$ WORTH CLOSE STUDY
End Sought Is the Cheapest Form Of
Feed That Contains the Highest
Food vaIue-co-operatlon In
t., Ownership Of Sires.

The question of supplying the dairy
herd with an efficient and economical
ration in winter is becoming more and
more complicated. 1t requires a study
of feeds and their costs, in order to
get the cheapest form of feed that
contains. the highest food value. Yet
this is not all. The winter. feed, like
the spring pastures, must be palatable,
succulent and substantial. The dairy
man who has his barn well filed with
legume hay and his silo packed with
silage Is indeed fortunate, He has
little to buy-only the concentrates
ration. Cows must be good producers
to warrant the purchase of much feed.
and must be exceptional producers to
return a profit when all the feed must
be purchased. Yet to do their best
dairy cows must be well fed, and with
good cows liberal feeding always pays.
To keep cows in full production
during the winter months some sue
culent feed is essential. There are two
sources Of succulent feeds for winter
and roots. Corn sill
age is usually the cheapest feed for
use in winter. The quantity to feed
usually varies from 25 to 30 pounds,
according to production. For small
herds, however, it may not be practi-
cable to build silos, and in such cases
mangel-wurzels or some other root
crop may take the place of silage.
Linseed meal is laxative and is es-
pecially valuable as part of the grain
mixture when no succulent feed Is
available.
Legumes make the best hay for
dairy cows. Alfalfa, clover, soy beans,
and cowpea hay are the cheapest
sources of protein and when possible
should form part Of every ration.
Other roughages, such as timothy,
millet and corn stover, require more
protein In the grain mixture.
Farmers Bulletin No. 743 gives a
very good rule to determine how much
grain should be fed:
"a grain mixture should be fed In
the proportion Of 1 pound to each
pints or pounds of milk produced daily
by the COW, except in the case of a COW
producing a flow of 40 pounds or more.
when the ration can be 1 pound to
each Sh or pounds of milk. An even
better rule Is pound of grain each
day for every pound Of bytter-fat pro-
duced during the week by the cow"

bred bull. These bulls are placed in
districts most convenient for the mem
bers of the association, and the dis
trict surrounding each bull is called
block. The blocks are numbered
and every two years the bulls are
changed from one block to another;
for example, the one in block No. /
goes to No. 2, the one in No. 2 to No.
S,:and the one in the last block goes
to block No. I. This exchange is made
to prevent ihbreeding.
The average cost to each member,
In associations from which the United
States department of agriculture has
information varies from SIT to $75.
This, cost furnishes bulls Of value
running as high as $3.50, and covers
a asperiod of six years or more, depend
ing. on the number of blocks and the
period Of usefulness of the bulls (not
fewer than three blocks being recon-
mended).
II $40 is all that the dairyman can
spare FOR Investment in pure-bred
bull, 1t will be practically impossible
for him to have one. But If five of
his neighbors, similarly situated raise
500, they can purchase a pure-bred
bull. IF dairyman owns bull worth
5000 he can better his condition by
Joining with four others who are will
ing to put in 5000 each and buy one
worth $1,000. By forming an associa-
tion of three blocks, as suggested, the
dairyman can have the use of a pure
berd bull for six years for small
original investment.
Cooperative bull associations are
practicable. There are now more than
30 active associations in the United
States. The first association in this
country was formed in 1908. Similar
institutions have been in existence in
Denmark much longer time.
1t is practically impossible to lose
on the investment in a bull associa-
ton, especially If little care Is given
to its organization.
The organization Is among the SIM
plest Of all the farmers cooperative
efforts, yet before going ahead it is
best to get information from other as
sociations If possible, or call on the
county agent, the state agricultural
college or the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, for information and personal as
sistance.

Supply and Demand Of Pork.

The estimated number of hogs is
100000 less than 1t was year ago
in this country; and in the face Of this
we need more hogs than ever before.
How can we get them? By breeding
sows at once.
The expectation of pork products has
increased since the war began and will
continue to increase during the length
of the war. The foreign countries are
devoting their farming energies to food
and feed rather than live stock produc-
tion, but they must have meat and
they must get large part of this sup
ply from us.
During the last three months the
price of hogs in the United States has
been on the average more than twice
as much as the average price for the
five years from 1911 to 1915. In view
Of the large crop Of feedstuffs IN sight,
however. It is believed that farmers
win see the wisdom Of taking every
reasonable step to increase the supply
Of hogs and hog products.

night, and stood now in the circle of
illumination made by the lanterns. It
was McCready, who was to accompany
Thorpe and his young wife back to the
Red River camp, where Thorpe was in
charge of the building Of the new
Transcontinental. The man was
straight, powerfully built and clean

his eyes that was almost like the pas

McCready shifted his gaze, and in

For the first time the dog did not seem
to feel her touch. He still snarled
at McCready, the rumbling menace in
his throat growing deeper. Thorpe's
wife tugged at the chain.

their big, rough manhood and loyal
hearts, before he had brought her

at McCready. struggling to overcome
that thrill Of fear and dislike.
"He doesn't like you," she laughed
at him softly. "Won't you make friends
with him?"
She drew Kazan toward him, with
Thorpe holding the end of the chain.
McCready came to her side as she bent
over the dog. His back was to
Thorpe as he hunched down. Isobel's
bowed head was within foot Of his
face. He could see the glow in her
cheek and the pouting curve of her
