ted out another boat with him. and in
this boat 1t was my luck to go.
When we got there, it was such a
scene as you seldom see, and never
want to. Nastiness beyond account,
and chaos run loosein the midst of the
nastiness. There were not a great
many of the negroes; but by way
of making what there were understand
that they were free, Vaughan had had
their handouts and anklecuffs knocked
off, and, for convenience sake, was
putting them upon the rascals of the
schooner's crew. The negroes were,
most of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck,
with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of dialect. from
the Zulu click up to the Partisan of
Beledeljereed.
As we came on deck, Vaughan
looked down from q hogshead, ON
which he had mounted in desperation,
and said:

who can make these wretches under

and that did not soothe him. And then

Nolan said he could speak Por-
tuguese, and one or two fine-looking
Kroomen were dragged out, who, as II
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast al
Fernando Pc.
Tell them they are free" said
Vaughan; land tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged as soon as
we can get rope enough"
Nolan explained 1t in such Portu-
guese as the Kroomen could under
stand. and they In turn to such of the
negroes as could understand them

PLAN A PERMANENT PASTURE

Rough HIIIsides May Be Used
Plant Bermuda Grass.

The permanent pasture will be a
very important part of the rotation
plan this year. A pasture will be
needed when the grazing crops are
not ready and when the animals need
green food and exercise. If you
haven't a permanent pasture 1t win
be advisable to start one at the earliest
possible time. Even a rough hillside
may be used for this purpose. For
such locations Bermuda is most ex-
cellent grass. Start a Bermuda pas
ture this spring so you will have graz

Enviable. Position.
By ]. C. MOHLER.,

(By J. c. MOHLER.)
A prominent farmer of eastern
Kansas stated recently that he had
for several years been raising mules,
but that this year his mares were
bred to draft stations, owing to the
calls for heavy horses. Still, there is
no let-up In the market for mules.
This leaves the farmer In an enviable
situation for whatever creditable colts
his mares may bring forth there is
competition for at big prices.
