 M fiers were turning to the IH Xavarian. Not one, however,

 I felt keen responsibility for the vel fare of this girl, whom believed to be the daughter of some proud Bar soomiant house, and it had been my in- tention to make every effort to return her to her people.
 I was about to ask Kantos Kan to prosecute further search for her when fier from the flagship of the fleet arrived at the xavarian with an officer bearing message to Kantos Kan from Arras.
 My friend read the dispatch and then turned to me.
 s'Zat Arras commands me to bring our prisoners before him. There is naught else to do. He is supreme in Helium, yet it would be far more, in keeping with chivalry and good taste were he to come hither and greet the savior of Barsoom with the honors that are his due."
 I smiled. se "A.
 "You know full well, my friend" I said, sthat Eat Arras hates me. Noth- ing would please him better than to humiliate me and then kill me. He has an excellent excuse. Let us go and see if he has the courage to take advantage of it.
 Summoning Carthoris and Tars Tar kas, we entered the small flier with Kantos Kan and Eat Arras' officer and in moment were stepping to the deck of Eat Arras' flagship.
 As we approached the jed of Zo- danga no sign of greeting or recogni- tion crossed his face. Not even to Carthoris did he vouchsafe friendly word. His attitude was cold, naughty and upcompromising.
 'Kaor, Eat Arras," I said in greet ing, but he did not respond.
 "Why were these prisoners not dis armed?" he asked of Kantos Kan.
 .They are not prisoners, Eat Arrassy replied the officer. "Two of them are of Helium's most noble family. Tars Tarkas, jeddak of Thark, is Tardos Mors' best beloved ally. The other is a friend and companion of the Prince of Helium. That is enough for me to know"
 ! "It is not enough for me, however," retorted Eat Aras. "More must I hear from those who have taken the pilgrimage than their names. Where have you been, John Carter?"
 q have just come from the valley Dor, Eat Arras,'' replied.
 "Ahv' he exclaimed in evident pleas ure. "You do not deny it then? You have returned from the bosom of Iss?"
 '3I have come back from a sand of false hope, from valley of torture and death. With my companions have escaped from the hideous clutches of lying f1ehds I have come back to the Barsoom that I saved from painless death again to save her, but this time from death in it's most frightful form.p

Feeding Babies in PondoIand.

If Pondo baby lives through the
first year Of his life, nothing short Of
an earthquake or submarine can
jeopardize his future. Consider, for
example, the way he is fed.
His mother lays him fiat on his
back on her lap. With one hand she
makes funnel over his mouth and
with the other holds a gourd contain
ing about a quart of thick, sour milk,
called "amasa." This she proceeds to
pour down the screaming child despite
his sputters, kicks and choklngs. Not
until the last drop has passed through
her hand does she release him.
A frequent result of this forced feed
ing Is cOnvulsion, and the mother,
frantic with fear, dispatches a messen-
ger for the medicine man. If he is q
proper medicine man he has carefully
quiZzed the messenger on the way
over, and knows just what is expected
of him.
Without even cursory glance at
the sick child, he calls for large dish
and into this pours little more than
a pint of water. Powdered roots,
bark, bones, claws and sometimes
pieces Of hair are mixed with the wa.
ter and the mother is then ordered 60

the baby instanter. The doctor then

DAIRY cows RELISH SILAGE
In Feeding Test II Per Cent More

Butterfat Obtained.

Cows fed a ration composed largely

Quoted for 121 days at the Ohio ex-
pertinent station. The silage ration
was also cheaper for milk production.
The cows gained nearly per cent
in milk yield when put on the silage
ration. They produced butterfat at a
cost of IS cents a pound, while the
cost Of a pound from the cows fed
mainly grain was % cents. There was
little difference in the gains in live
weight between the two lots.
In addition to So pounds of silage
and 6S pounds of hay, the one lot re-

ceive regular exercise and must be
gently handled. When he is ten to
twelve months of age he may be given
light service-possibly one cow every
three or four weeks. From the age of
twelve to sixteen months this service
may be increased to one COW per
week.
A satisfactory feed for a mature bull
is alfalfa or clover hay and a grain
mixture of corn, with oats or bran. A
bull must have plenty of exercise. He
does not need to be housed in a warm
barn but is kept in the best condition
when given dry but open shed with
a paddock attached so that he can go
in or out at will.
Every mature bull should have a ring
in his nose. There is some difference
in opinion in regard to dehorning but
it is always safer to handle bull
without horns.

HOLDING UP PRECIOUS LETTER
African Blacks Fail to Realize What
Missive Means to the ExiIed,
Homesick White Man.

1t Is pioneer custom in Africa, east
and west, that the white mans local
letter Is franked from town to town.
The black man to whom the white
man gives his letter carries it to the
headman Of the next settlement, who
carries 1t in turn to his brother head
man down the trail; and so from hand
to hand by day and by night, with
glance from any passing white man,
the letter goes forward. Such a let

split rod from which there hung, like
a flag, bit of turkey red-changed

that the postmen loitered.

hands-how could you do that, you
two old heartless headmen? l watched
you from my little green tent. 1t is
remembered of you that you so de-
layed, while in some lonely hamlet
under that same moon a white man
sickened for letter. And when one
gave the forked stick to the other, 1t
was then too late. If indeed, as you
would say, you spoke no more than
five words Of gossip one to the other,
those words were five too many. 1t is

1t is well known and very true

From birth, the bull should be given
the best of care and feed in order that
he may make the maximum growth
and development. He should receive
plenty of skim milk and grain and be
treated as well if not even better than
the heifer calves.
At the age of five to six months he
must be separated from the other
calves. From this time on he must re-

MADE $1,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many of
them few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and a COW or two, and Suffi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. e. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, y. ID. lie didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalr0y.
81 arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
81, 800. Since then, | have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head of hogs fOur-roOmed

chopper, tanning mill, etc l have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had a gross return of
$1,000.
81 first started grain farming. hut
during the past four years | have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from S25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
THE climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming in general the grow
| ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
l feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
