to sell well, but those for the breeding
pen should not be very fat to produce
well.
Many people are deceived and buy
hogs almost on the basis of their
weight alone, and they really lose sight
Of the size of the frame which supports
the weight, consequently they not in
frequently buy 5O0-pound sow which
is very fat and in reality of no larger
frame than a smaller-looking 35O-pound
individual.
Keep the sows, then, in good,
thrifty condition, not overfat, and let
them have all the necessary range, if
possible away from other stock, 'espe-
cially horses.
Some say that the sows are but
half of the herd, or, looking ut 1T from
the other angle that the boar is half
of the herd, and it is fair to assume
that this is true when we come to con-
slider the character of the offspring, for
they receive one-half of their charac-
ters from each parent. One very promi-
nent breeder has stated that If the boar
is an average boar he Is half Of the
herd, but If he is a real poor one or
an exceptionally good one he is all of
1t. There is a good bit Of truth to that
Etatement.

Her laugh was an instant easing
Of tensions.
"Oh. yes; you're Mr.. Williams as

NO" he denied in blunt honesty.
I'm not Williams assistant; at least,
the pay roll doesn't say so. Up at the
camp they call me the Hobo'"
The young woman had apparently
regained whatever small fraction Of
self-possession the narrow escape had
shocked aside.
Are they never going to take that
miserable train out of the way?" she
exclaimed. I've got to see Mr.. Will
liams, and there isn't a minute to

GRANTED BREEDING SWINE
Breeders Want Hogs With Strong,
Dense eones-Feeds, High In
Mineral Elements, Favored.

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period of use
fulness Of the animals for breeding
purposes. heightened, breeders want
hogs with strong. dense bones. Since
cereal grains are low in mineral ele-
ments, they should be supplemented
by feeds rich in these constituents.
When confined In yards hogs are
often fed largely or entirely on grain
ratiOns, SO that their bones are soft
and easily broken. Rations OF corn
supplemented by tankage and by skim
milk produce the most bone.
Because of the high protein and
lime content, alfalfa and clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs, and In the spring green
leguminous crops may be used. For
feeding in connection with grains to
breeding hogs in confinement, lime,
corncob charcoal, bone flour and wood
ashes are also recommended.

BEST ATTENTION FOR gifts

(By w. J. CARMICHAEL Illinois Agrf-
cultural Experiment Station)
After the gifts have been selected
they need further attention, but not
necessarily more expensive attention
than the market animals require. They
should be given plenty of range and
forage, so as to develop good cOnsu-
tutions. and given rations which are
not very fattening in character.
Less corn and more high protein
feeds should be included in their daily
allowance, because they are being kept

mobile. with the cut-out open. was top
ping the side-hill grade, and Smith rec
ognized II at once. 1t was Colonel Dex-
ter Baldwin's roadster, and 1t held
single occupant-namely, the young
woman who was driving 1t.
Turning to look up the track, he saw
that the three loaded cars had been
set out, and the forward section Of the
train was now backing to make the
coupling with the standing half. He
hoped that the trainmen had seen the
automobile, and that they would not
attempt to make the coupling until
after the gray car had crossed behind
the caboose. But in the same breath
he guessed, and guessed rightly. that
they were too far around the curve to
be able to see the wagon-road ap-
proach.
Smith saw the young woman check
the speed for the abrupt turn at the
bottom of the hill, saw the car take the
| turn in a skidding slide, heard the re-
newed roar of the motor as the throttle
| was opened for run at the embank-
ment grade. Then the unexpected
dropped its bomb. There was jan
Cling clash and the cars on the main
track were set in motion. The train
men had failed to make their coupling,
and the rear half Of the train was surg
ing down upon the crossing.
Smiths shout, or the sight Of the on
coming train, one Of the two, or both,
put the finishing touch OH the young
woman's nerve. There was still time
in which to clear the train, but at the
critical instant the young woman ap-
parently changed her mind and tried
to stop the big car short Of the cross
ing. The effort was unsuccessful.
When the stop was made. the front
wheels of the roadster were precisely
in the middle of the main track, and
the motor was killed.
By this time Smith had thrown his
coat away and was racing the backing
train, with the ex-grade-laborer poor
second dozen yards to the rear. Hav-
ing ridden In the roadster, Smith knew
that it had no self-starter. "Jump"
he yelled. "Get out of the car" and
then his heart came into his mouth
when he saw that she was struggling
| to free herself and couldn't; that she
was entangled in some way behind the
| low-hung tiller wheel.
Smith was running fairly abreast Of
the caboose when he made this discov-
cry, and the hundred feet Of clearance
had shrunk to fifty. In Imagination
he could already see the gray car over
turned and crushed under the wheels
Of the train. In flying squirt he
gained a few yards on the advancing
menace and hurled himself against
the front Of the stopped roadster. He
did not attempt to crank the motor.
There was time only for mighty
heave and shove to send the car back
ing down the slope Of the crossing
approach; for this and for the quick
spring aside to save himself; and the
thing was done.

SHEEP MAKE GOOD HELPERS
They Will Feed of Weeds and
Growths All Season That Other
Stock Will Not Touch.

Sheep are good farm help. They
will range farm from early spring
until late fall feeding off weeds and
growths that other stock will not
touch. A small flock will NOW the
orchard and keep down the weeds
about windbreaks, fences and build
ings. All Of this is simply incidental
svelvet" as the wool clip pays for the
flock's keep. The mutton return is
the main source of profit. Besides,
the high value of farm land, which
compels farmers to fence their acres
for hogs and other stock, lightens the
added expense for keeping sheep.
This year with wool at 10 and Is
cents a pound above normal prices
and mutton higher than it has ever
been, any farmer is assured hand
some -etarns If he gives his flock
reasonable care.

CHAPTER VI.
A Notice to Quit.

Once started and given its push, the
gray roadster drifted backward from
the railroad crossing and kept on until
1t came to rest in the sag at the turn
in the road. Running to overtake 1t,
Smith found that the young woman
was still trying Intellectually to free
herself. In releasing the clutch her
dress had been caught, and Smith was
glad enough to let the extricating Of
the caught skirt and the crankinS Of
the engine serve for breath-catching
recovery.
When he stepped back to "tune' the
spark the young woman had subslded
into the mechanician's seat and was
relying her veil with fingers that were
not any too steady. She was small
but well-knit; her hair was a golden
brown and there was q good deal Of
it; her eyes were set well apart, and
in the bright morning sunlight they
were q slaty gray-of the exact shade
Of the motor veil she was rearranging.
Smith had sudden conviction that he
had seen the wide-set eyes before; also
the straight little nose and the half

She nodded, saying:
"How did You known

She did not seem to take it amiss
that he was making her eyes a basis
for comparisons. She was her fathers

Quirements.

Smith heard him through. nodding
understandingly when the tale was
told.
'Its the old story Of the big fish
swallowing the little one; so old that
there is no longer any saving touch of
novelty In It," he commented. I've
been wondering II there wasn't some
thing Of that kind in your background.
And you say you haven't any Belmonts
or Morgans .or Rockefellers In your
company"
1--WE have q bunch Of rather badly
scared-up ranch owners and local
people, with Colonel Baldwin in COM
mand. and that's all. The colonel Is
a fighting man, all right, and he can
shoot as straight as anybody, when
you have shown him what to shoot at.
But he Is outclassed, like all the rest
Of US, when 1t comes to a game Of finan-
cial freeze-out. And that is what we
are up against, I'm afraid"
"There isn't the slightest doubt in
the world about that" said the one
who had been called in as an expert.
'What can't understand Is why some
of you didn't size the situation up
long ago-before 1t got into its pres
ent desperate shape. You are at the
beginning of the end now. They've
caught you with an empty treasury.
and these stock sales you speak Of
prove that they have already begun
to swallow you by Titles. Timanyonf
common-I suppose you haven't any
preferred-at thirty-nine is an excel
lent gamble for any group of men who
can see their way clear to buying the
control. With an eager market for the
water-and they can sell the water to
you people, even If they don't put
their own Escalante project through
the stock can be pushed to par and
beyond, as 1t will be after you folks
are all safely frozen out. More than
that. they can charge you enough, for
the water you've got to have, to finance
the Escalante scheme and pay all the
bills; and their investment, at the
present market, will be only thirty
nine cents in the dollar. It's neat
little play"
Williams was by this time far past
remembering that his adviser was
man with possible alias and presum-
ably fugitive from justice.
"Can't something be done, Smith?
You've had experience In these things;
your talk shows 1t. Have we got to
stand still and be shot to pieces?"
1.-The necessity remains to be dem
onstrated. But you will be shot to
pieces, to a dead moral certainty, II
you don't put somebody on deck with
the necessary brains, and do it quick
ly." said Smith with frank bluntness.
"Hold on" protested the engineer.
EVERY man to his trade. When I said
that we had nobody but the neighbors
and our friends in the company, I
didn't mean to give the impression
that they were either dolts or chuckle-
heads. As q matter Of fact, we have
a pretty level-headed bunch Of men in
Timanyoni Ditch-though I'll admit
that some Of them are nervous enough,
just now, to want to get out on almost
any terms. What meant to say was
that they don't happen to be up in all
