FIXING VALUE OF SKIM MILK
Result Given Of Experiments Made by
Dean Henry at Wisconsin EH-
pertinent Station.

Dean W. A. Henry, who for many
years was in charge Of the feeding ex-
periments at the Wisconsin station,
concluded after q great many expert
ments that when corn is worth 30 cents
per busheI the value of skim milk is
81 cents per hundred pounds, and
when corn is worth 81 cents per bush
el, skim milk is worth 46 cents per
hundred.
Gov. W. D. Hoard for many years q
leading dairyman in Wisconsin, sug-
gested the following rule for finding
the money value Of skim milk: Null
tiply the market value of live hogs in
cents per pound by five when skim
Hsilk is fed alone, but when fed with
corn or barley. multiply the price by
six This gives the money value Of
skim milk per hundred pounds.
The Gurler rule is that skim milk Is
worth half as much per hundred
pounds as corn is worth per bushel-
Dollar corn would therefore mean so
cents as the price for skim milk.

which is no greater, and in many
cases is even less, than the cost of
maintaining a scrub.
Better and fewer bulls" is a
phrase which represents the aim Of
these associations. A typical Organi-
cation is composed of from 10 to 80
farmers who own jointly five bulls.
The territory Of the association is d.
vided into five. breeding blocks and one
bull assigned to each block. To pre-
vent inbreeding, each bull is moved to
the next block every two years. Bar
ring losses from death or other causes,
therefore, no new bulls need be pur-
chased for ten years. 1t is customary
to apportion the purchase price, and
the expense of supporting the bulls,
among the members according to the
number of cows owned by each.
These associations have been known
in the United States only since 1908,
when the first one was organized, in
Michigan. The short time which has
elapsed since then makes it impossible
to demonstrate the full value Of the
associations, because the influence Of
a pure-bred sire is felt in the herd
for more than one generation.
In regard to the returns from grad
ing up cattle through the use Of the
pure-bred bulls Of the cooperative
associations, one estimate obtained
from farmers in Maryland, Michigan,
and Minnesota, places the increased
value of the offspring in the first
generation at from 80 to so per cent,
or an average of 6j per cent. Such
large profits are commonly associated
by business men with the possibility
OF equally serious loss, but in the bull
associations this does not seem to be
true It is difficult to see that any
probability of loss exists.

TUBERS ON STRAWBERRY BED
Large Yields and High Quality Sc
cured if Suitable Seed Is Used
Ohio Station Plan.

One of the best crops that can be
grown on an old strawberry bed is po-
tatOes. They may also be planted af-
ter a crop of clover has been cut.
Large yields and high quality may be
secured if suitable seed is planted.
For such planting the potatoes make
quick growth if sprouted in partial
sunlight in the spring. When spread
out in shallow trays or on a floor
where the sun shines part of the day,
short, stubby. green sprouts grow to
one-half to three-fourths OF an inch
long. and the tubers shrivel somewhat.
These potatoes may then be cut and
planted with the sprouts on, care being
taken not to Injure them. At the Ohio
experiment station such seed planted
June so yielded nearly twice as much
as ordinary celIar-stOred potatoes
planted the same day.

POULTRY MANURE IN GARDEN
Mixed With Equal Amount Of Dry
Earth and Spread Broadcast Wili
Prove Beneficial.

A common way Of using hen manure
for garden purposes is TO mix it With
an equal amount Of dry earth, crush
It. and then spread it by hand. The
amount necessary, of course, depends
upon the condition of the garden soil
A liberal application spread broad
cast, however, viii be beneficial in
most all cases.
Usually the dust is applied on the
dropping boards in the coop, as 1t
helps to keep the coop sanitary, and
absorbs the moisture. also prevents
the nitrogen in the manure from es-
Gaping.
For a complete fertilizer containing
hen manure, the following is good :
Four hundred pounds Of hen manure
200 pounds Of dissolved bone, 100
pounds muriate Of potash. 80 pounds
Of plaster and 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda
A. present you would probably have
some difficulty in getting the muriate

therefore 300 pounds Of dissolved bone

TREATMENT FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone, Air-Slaked, Water
SIaked or Lump Lime Can Be

Lime is the one remedy used for
acid soils, and it is very easily applied.
Ground limestone, air-slaked lime, or
water-slaked lime, or lump lime can
be used. A peck of quicklime viii be
about right for a square rod of gar
den. and double the amount of slaked
lime or ground limestone viii give
about the same results. The ground
stone or the slaked lime can be scat

HELP SMALL FARMERS
Cooperative Bull Associations
Becoming Big Factor.
Especially Adapted to Herds Which
Are Too Small to Afford Valuable
Animal at Head-orgsniza-
tons Are New.

There are now more than 30 active
cooperative bull associations in the
United States, representing total
membership Of $50 and owning about
100 pure-bred bulls In the opinion OF
specialists, cooperation in this re-
spect is only in lis infancy and CO.
operative bull associations should be-

The cooperative bull association is
especially adapted to herds which are
so small that a valuable bull for each
herd would be TOO heavy an invest

the business. Through cooperation,
cattle owners are enabled to obtain

away from the gap, and pretended to
start for Sleepy Cat, to avoid trouble
with them. Deeming the second the
more probable conclusion, De Spain,
absorbed In his specuIations, continued
toward the gap to see whether he could
not pick up the trail of Pages rig far
Their on.
Within a mile a further surprise
awaited him. The two horsmen, who
had headed for the gap after stopping
Page, had left the trail, turned to the
south, down a small draw, which would
screen them from sight, and set out
across the desert.
No trail and no habitation lay In the
direction they had taken-and it
seemed clearer to De Spain that the
second horse was led horse. There
was story in the incident. but his in
terest lay in following Pages move
ments, and he spurred swiftly forward
to see whether his messenger had re-
sumed the gap trail ard gone on with
his mission. He followed this quest al
most to the mountains, without recOv-
ering any trace of Pages rig. He
halted. 1t was certain now that Page
had not gone into the gap.
Perplexed and annoyed, De Spain,
from the high ground on which he sat
his horse, cast his eyes far over the
desert. The brilliant sunshine flooded
it as far as the eye could reach. He
scanned the vast space without detect
ing a sign of life anywhere, though
none better than he knew that any
abundance of it might be there. But
his gaze caught something of interest
on the farthest northern horizon, and
on this his scrutiny rested a long time.
A soft brown curtain rose just above
the earth line against the blue sky. To
ward the east it died away and toward
the west it was cut off by the Super
stition peaks.
De Spain, without giving the weather
signs much thought, recognized their
import, but his mind was filed with
his own anxieties and he rode smart
Iy back toward Calabasas, because he
was not at ease over the puzzles in the
trail. When he reached the depression
where the hOrsemen had, without any
apparent reason, turned south, he halt
ed. Should he follow them or turn
north to follow Pages wanderings? If
Page had been scared away from the
gap, for a time, he probably had no in
formation that De Spain wanted, and
De Spain knew his cunning and per-
sistence well enough to be confident
he would be back on the gap road, and
within the cover of the mountains, be-
fore a storm should Overtake him. On
the north the brown curtain had risen
fast and already envelOped the farthest
peaks of the range. Letting his horse
stretch its neck, he hesitated a mo-
ment longer trying to decide whether
to follow the men TO the south or the
wagon to the north. A woman might
have done better. But no good angel
was there to guide his decision, and in
another moment he was riding rapidly
to the south with the even, brown,
misty cloud behind him rolling higher
into the northern sky.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Truth.


With the desperation Of Joy born
of despair she laid her burning cheek
[ Historically against his cheek. she
rained kisses on his ice-crusted brows
and snow-beaten eyes. Her arms held
him rigidly. He could not move nor
speak till she would let him Trans
formed, this mountain girl who gave
herself so shyIy, forgot everything. Her
words crowded on his ears. She re-
peated his name in an ecstasy OF well
come, drew down his lips, laughed. re-
ioiced, knew no shamefacedness and
no restraint-she was one freed from
the stroke of a descending knife. A
moment before she had faced death
alone; ii was still death she is-ced-
she realized this-but it was death, at
least, together, and her joy and tears
rose from her heart in one stream.
De Spain eomforted her, quieted her,
cut away one of the coats from his
horse, slipped it over her shoulders, in
cased her in the heavy fur, and turned
his eyes to Duke.
The old mans set, square face sur
rendered nothing of implacabilIty to
the dangers confronting him. De
Spain looked for none Of that. He had
known the Morgan record too long. and
faced the Morgan men too often, to
fancy they would finch at the drum
beat Of death.
The two men, in the deadly. driving
snow, eyed each other. Out Of the old
mans deep-set eyes burned the resist
ance of Il hundred storms faced before.
But he was caught now like wolf in
Il trap, and he knew he had little to
hope for, little to fear. As De Spain
regarded him. something like pity may
have mixed with his hatred. The old
outlaw was thinIy clad. His open
throat was beaten with snow, and,
standing beside the wagon, he held the
team reins in bare hand. De Spain
cut the other coat from his saddle and
held it out. Duke pretended not TO
see, and, when not longer equal to
keeping up the pretense, shook his
head.
Take it," said De Spain CURLY.
NO"
Take it, say. You and will settle
our affairs when we get Nan out Of

its wont, cracked like pistol. Il can

De Spain Rides Alone.

He had ridden the trail but a short
time when it led him in a wide angle
backward and around toward Gala
basas, and he found, presently, that the
men he was riding after were appar-
emily heading for the stage barns. In
the north the rising curtain had dark
ened. Toward Sleepy Cat the land
scape was already obliterated. In the
south the sun shOne, but the air had
grown suddenly cold, and in the sharp
drop De Spain realized what was COM
ing. His first thought was of the south
ern stages, which must be warned. and
as he galloped up to big barn, with this
thought in mind he saw, standing in
the doorway, Bull Page.
De Spain regarded him with aston
ishment. slow did you get here?" was
his sharp question.
Page grinned. SCOT what was aft

Halfway over to the gap, met Duke
and the young gal on horseback, head

pulled up. Old Duke looked kind O.
ga'nted, and it seemed like Nan was IN
a considerable hurry to get to Sleepy
Cat with him, and he couldn't stand
the saddle. Anyway, they was heading
for Calabasas to get a rig from Meal
