ment of Agriculture)
The common woodchuck inhabits
eastern North America from northern
Georgia and middle Alabama north
ward, including the greater part of
Canada. In the United States it ranges
westward to Arkansas, eastern Kan
sas, and eastern Minnesota. Another
! species of woOdchuck inhabits the
higher country of the Black hills.
Rocky mountains, Sierra Nevada, Cas-
cades, and other ranges in the West.
This mountain form seldom comes in
contact with agriculture, but the East
ern species frequently damages gar
den vegetables, clover, and other crops.
Also, it's burrows and mounds inter-
fere with moving and other farm OPP
eratio1s. In some states the animal is
regarded as so obnoxious that local
bounties are paid for destroying it.
Woodchucks, while somewhat gre
garious, seldom occur in large colonies,
and may, therefore, be kept in check
by shooting or trapping. They may
be poisoned by strychnine inserted in
pieces of sweet apple, carrot, or sweet
potato. The animals are often de-
stroyed in their burrows by fumigation
with carbon bisulphide or by the dis
charge of blasting powder.
To destroy woodchucks with carbon
biSulphide, saturate "a wal of cotton
or waste with about one and one-half
ounce of the liquid. Place the cotton
well inside the woodchucb burrow and
close the opening with a piece of sod,
well stamped down. If there are two
or more entrances to a bllrrow, all but
one should be tightly closed before
fumigation.
The smaller forms of rabbits, known
generally as cottontaiis, are useful ami
mails and become objectionable only
when too numerous in The vicinity of
orchards or nurseries. The same is
true of the larger snowshoe rabbits.
The jack rabbits of the West are of less
value for human food, and, by reason
of their abundance in newly settled
regions, often interfere greatly with
crops and the growing of orchard and
other trees.
Jack rabbits are not protected in any
Of the states, but are everyw' are re-
garded as pest. They afford consid-
cradle sport in coursing with fleet grey
mounds, but at times they become so
abundant and destructive that entire
communities unite to kill them by the
organized hunt or drive. A large area
is surrounded and the animals are
driven toward some central point,
where a wire corral has been built,
into which, with the help of wing bar
riers, thousands of rabbits are driven
and then slaughtered. When these
hunts take place in cold weather the
rabbits are usually shipped to large

And so Johnny Rosenfeld paid.
The immediate result of his death
was that K, who had gained some of
his faith in himself on seeing Wilson
on the way to recovery, was beset by
his old doubts. And now came Ques-
ton that demanded immediate answer.
Wilson would be out of commission for
several months, probably. He was
gaining, but slowly. And he wanted K.

EFFICIENCY OF THE
MILKING MACHINES
Successful Operation Depends on
Ability of Operator to Ad-
Just 1t to Cow.

That the efficiency of the present
day milking machine depends on the
ability of the operator, is the opinion
of ]. B. Fitch, associate professor
of dairy husbandry in the Kansas
State Agriculture college.
Several new milking machines have
been placed on the market in the last
few years and their manufacturers
have carried on extensive advertising"
said Professor Fitch. MANY farmers
have been led to believe that with a
machine their troubles would be at an
end. AS a result many machines have
been sold. Although they apparently
gave good results at first, many are
not used now.
"In most cases where the machine
has been discarded, it has been the
fault of the operator. 1t takes an
able man to operate the machine and
adjust it to the COW and get good re-
suits. Satisfactory results cannot be
obtained unless 1t is properly ADJUST
ed to the COW. An efficient hand
mixer will get more milk from COW
than machine. The machine, how
ever, will do better milking than the
average farm hand. For the farmer

might follow Joe to Cuba. There were
chances there. He could do sanitation
work. or he might try the canal.
The Street would go on working out
it's own salvation. He would have to
think of something for the Rosenfelds.
And he was worried about Christine.
But there again, perhaps, it would be
better If he went away. Christine's
story would have to work itself out.
His hands were tied. "Td better get

Someone entered the room. He
thought it was Sidney and turned with
the light in his eyes that was only for
her. 1t was Carlotta.
She was not In uniform. She wore
dark skirt and white waist and her
high heels tapped as she crossed the

stoutly.
At four o'clock in the morning he
left the car at the garage and walked
around to the little house. He had
had no sleep for forty-ive hours; his
eyes were sunken in his Head; the skin
over his temples looked drawn and
white. His clothes were wrinkled; the
soft hat he habitually wore was white

Serious Losses Sustained by Farmer
Through Use of Mixtures-Stor-

Good seed is determining factor in
the production of maximum crops of

Purity of seed stock is an essential
quality of good seed. Serious losses
are sustained by the grower through

A more liberal use of seed will gen.

cows by hand. The amount of milk
received in this manner will vary from
one-half to three pounds, depending
on the disposition of the COW and the
efficiency of the machine. AS a rule,
if the machine is properly handled, no
more udder trouble will result than
from hand milking. 1t is a good plan
to strip the cows, even if but little
milk is obtained, to determine the
condition of the udder.
''In case of purebred cattle, where
high records are being striven for, the
milking machine is not recommend
ed, as more care and attention usual

X. that she looked at him as If she haG
never really seen him before, and he
was right. Readjustments are always
difficult.

He led the way into the corridor. It
was very dim. Far away was the night

ator, it's pile of records. The passage

boards.

"The principal thing is, not how 1t

You are, you mean. You shoulder all
our troubles, X, as if they were your

'T?" He was genuinely surprised.
"Oh, see. You mean-but my part in
getting Joe off is practically nothing.
AS matter of fact, Schwitter has put
up the money. My total capital in the
world, after paying for the machine
today, is seven dollars"
"You. of course" said she. ''You
find Max and save him-don't look like
that! You did, didn't you? And you
get Joe away, borrowing money to send
him."
He looked uncomfortable, almost
guilty.
"When I look back and remember

He would not allow that. 1T dis

K, as If it all comes back to me. I'll

He watched her go down the hall to-
ward the night nurses desk. Then he
went back into the quiet room.
He stood by the bedside, looking
down. Wilson was breathing quietly;
his color was coming up, as he rallied
from the shock. In E's mind now was
just one thought-to bring him through
