CHAPTER XVI.
A. Anv Cost.

With all things moving favorably for
Timanyoni High Line up to the night
OF fiascos. the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take n sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two of his subordi-
mates. Early the next day there were
panicky rumors In the air, none Of them
traceable to any definite starting point.
One Of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste In
building had added to its insecurity.
On the heels OF this came clamorous
court petitions from ranch owners be-
low the dam site. setting forth the
flood dangers to which they were ex-
posed and praying for an injunction to
stop the work.
That this was new move on Stan
tons part, neither Smith nor Stillings
questioned for a moment; but they no
sooner got the nervous ranchmen paci-
fed by giving an indemnity bond for
any damage that might be done, than
other rumors sprang up. For one day
and yet another Smith fought mechan-
ically, developing the machinelike dog
gedness of the soldier who sees the
battle going irresistibly against him
and still smites on In sheer despera-
ton. He saw the carefully built or
ganization structure. reared by his own
efforts upon the foundation laid by
Colonel Baldwin and his ranchman as
sociates, falling TO pieces. In spite Of
all he could do, there was panic OF
stock-selling; the city council, alarmed
by the persistent story of the unsafety
of the dam, was threatening to cancel
the lighting contract with Tlmanyoni
High Line; and Kinzie, though he was
doing nothing openly, had caused the
word to be passed far and wide among
the Timanyoni stockholders, disaster
could be averted now only by prompt
action and the swift effacement of their
rule-orruin secretary and treasurer.
''Theyre after you, John" was the
way the colonel put II at the close OF
the second day of back-sllppings. "They
say you're fiddlin' while Rome's a.
burnin'. Maybe you know what they
mean by that; don't"
Smith did know. During the two
days OF stress Miss verda had been
very exactlng. There had been another
night at the theater and much time
killing after meals In the parlors Of the
Hophra house. Worse still, there had
been daylight auto trip about town
and up TO the dam. The victim was
writhing miserably under the price
paying. but there seemed to be no help
for 1t. Since the night Of Verda Rich
lander's arrival In Brewster, he had not
! seen Corona; he was telling himself

1t is not unusual to find spots on the

Produce Eggs Cheaper Than
Fowls of So.CaIled General
Purpose Breeds.
MOST PROFITABLE TO keep
Fact Established In Rather Extensive
Feeding Test Conducted by Poul.
trymen Of the Department
Of Agriculture.

CFrom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than
hens of the general-purpose breeds
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, and Orpingtons. This
fact, which confirms the belief and ex-
perience of commercial poultry farm
ers, was one of the results obtained
in a rather extensive feeding test re-
Gently reported by poultrymen Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Because they lay as many or
more eggs, eat only about fifty.five
pounds of feed per head as compared
with seventy to eighty-five pounds eat
en- by the general-purpose breeds, and
because their egg yield very material
ly exceeds that of general-purpose
breeds during their second and third
laying years, Leghorns, the specialists
say, undoubtedly are more profitable to
keep for the production of eggs only.
Result Of Feed Test.
In this test the feed cost of dozen
eggs for one Of the Leghorn pens was
7.34 cents in 1913, while the average
cost of all the pens of the general
purpose breeds was 1916 cents. In
1914 the feed cost of dozen eggs for
the same pen of Leghorns was o.7
15.1 cents for the second laying year
of the general-purpose pens. During
their third laying year the cost Of n
dozen eggs was S.S cents compared to
1876 cents for the general-purpose
fowls. The total value of eggs per
hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen
for three years was S6-S4 against $4.30
for the general-purpose hens. The
highest egg production obtained In any
of the feeding experiments up to 1915
was by a pen of Leghorns which laid
1915 eggs per hen, at u feed cost of
81 cents a dozen.
The Leghorns produce smaller eggs
than the general-purpose breeds. The
average weight of the eggs of pen
Of Leghorns during the first laying
year was LAP pounds per dozen as
against 1.53 70 1.5S pounds for the
other pens. However, Aeghorns lay
ing eggs weighing 1.50 pounds per doz-
en- or even more, the specialists say,

poultrymen. An examination in May,
1915, of 500 eggs from three Leghorn
pens showed that 81 per cent weighed
more than two ounces apiece, or 1.5O
pounds to the dozen.
Value Of Eggs.

duced by the Legborns was from tp
