Watering STOCK IN SUMMER
A. Springs and Streams Dry Up Il 10
Highly Essential to Furnish
Abundant Water Supply.

Animals need more water during hot
weather than they do during the win
ter. There Is a greater loss Of water
from their bodies in the processes of
heat regulation, digestion. ETC., conse-
quently they drink more II they have
1t. As the natural sources, such as
streams and springs dry up in the sum-
mer. 1t Is highly essential that particu-
lar attention be given to furnishing q
plentiful supply of fresh water during
the heated period.
Fresh and cool water supplied in
ample amounts will serve the very use
full purposes Of eliminating many Of
the digestive disturbances often COM
planned of by feeders. Unless the di-
gestive agencies are properly func-
toned the best results can by no
means be realized. And since water,
which is one Of the most abundant ele-
ments we have, serves such a useful
purpose 1t should be given serious con-
sideration particularly at this time Of
the year, when the dry, hot weather
will soon come. The man who has q
never-failing spring In his pasture is
indeed lucky, but with a good deep
well equipped with a wind pump or
better still pump run by gasoline
engine one need have little worry over
the needs of his stock for water. SO

troughs are always full.

A little new under clerk had come in
from the hotel office and was trying to
give Starbuck a note in a square en-
velope, and Starbuck was saying: mo.

Smith took the note and opened 1t.

But Smith did not keep him waiting.

POULTRY
.FA&IS
GULL EARLY TO GET PROFITS
Every Breeder 10 Anxious to Realize
on His Flock and Get Back
Some Of Investment

The advice to Gull early seems un-
necessary this year, when every
breeder Is anxious to realize on his
flock and get back some of the money
he has been putting into chickens. For
the home flock one wants early cock
erels, but II the trade In cOckerels is
for low-priced birds only, 1t will not
be profitable to keep the early-hatched
males for the trade.
Keep all pullets save the deformed.
An early-hatched pullet, with all the
disqualifcations mentioned In tho
standard, may be the most profitable
bird on the place as an early layer.
She can be culled before the eggs are
needed for Matching. but will pay for
her feed until then. II one is grow
ing purebreds for the first time, get
one who understands the breed to Gull.
An expert will be able to choose the
birds best worth keeping. We doubt
II caponizing will pay the farmer-cer-
tainly not caponizing the early bird.

COLT ATTENTION IN SUMMER
Dark Stall During Day-Eneour-
age II to Eat Grain.

The colt should be left in a cool,
dark stall during the day If the mare
is worked, asserts DIR. O. w. McCamp-
bell, associate professor of animal hus-
bandry In the Kansas state agricul-
tural college.
For the first few weeks the mare
should be brought to the barn in the
middle of the forenoon and the middle
of the afternoon and the colt allowed
to suckle. The colt should be left
with the mare at night. Encourage it
to eat as soon as possible preferably
crushed oats with bran. If oats are
not available ration consisting of
four parts Of corn, three Of bran, and
one of linseed meal by weight may be
substituted.
Let the colt have clover or alfalfa
hay as soon as he will eat 1t. See to
1t that he has access to clean, pure
water at all times. If the mare and
foal are running in the pasture a creep
should be made where the colt can
have access to grain.

CLOVER SUPERIOR FOR EGGS
Favorite Food for Fowls, and Each
Year Its Use 10 Becoming More
General on Farms.

For years clover has been a favor
lite food for fowls, and each year its
use is becoming more general. There
Is large percentage Of nitrogen and
mineral matter in clover. What is
known as "rowen," the second crop,
Is best. In a high nutritive ration
clover equals barley, and almost equals
wheat.
II should be cut when in full bios

the first blossoms begin to turn
brown.
Being very rich in protein, clover
contains potash, soda, phosphoric acid
and other ingredients that make 1t one

well-balanced proportion. In ton of
clover there are about 80 pounds of

"A few minutes ago-just as I was

"Not quite that" she rejoined. "He

had begun with Jibbey's silent hand

him to say:

There is every reason to believe that

cause there Is q world shortage Of

The Pace-Setter.

Smith made an early breakfast on
the morning following the auto drive
to the abandoned mine, hoping thereby
to avoid meeting both Miss Richlander
and Jibbey. The Hophra cafe was
practically empty when he went In
and took his accustomed place at one
Of the alcove tables. but he had barely
given his order when Starbuck ap-
peared and came to join him.

owner quizzically, as he held up
finger for the waiter. "How's the

Smiths answering grin had some
thing of its former good-nature in it.
'4Today's the day, Billy" he said. "To-
morrow at midnight we must have the
water running in the bitches or lose

the back part of my mind that Stanton
will make his grandstand play today.

CHAPTER xIx-continued.

Smith did his various errands quick
Iy. When he reached the fourth-f floor
suite again. Jibbey was out of the
bath; was sitting on the edge OF the
bed wrapped in blankets, with the
steaming pot Of coffee sent up ON
Smiths hurry order beside him on a
tray.
TITS your turn at the tub" he bub-
bled cheerfully. II didn't have any
glad rags to put on. SO l swiped some
Of your bedclothes. Go to 1t, old man,
before you catch cold"
Smith was already pointing for the
bath. "Your trunk will be up In a
few minutes, and I've told them to
send 1t here" he said. "When you
want to quit me. youll find your rooms
five doors to the right In this same
corridor: suite number four-sixteen." "
1t was a long half-hour before Smith
emerged from his bathroom once more
clothed and in his right mind. In
the interval the reclaimed trunk had
been sent up, and Jibbey was also
clothed. He had found one Of Smiths
pipes and some tobacco and was
smoking with the luxurious enjoyment
Of one who had suffered the pangs i'm
posed by two days Of total abstinence.
"Just hangin' around to say good
night" he began. when Smith showed
himself in the sitting room. Then he
returned the borrowed pipe to Its place
on the mantel and said his small say
to the definite end. "After all that's
happened to us two tonight, Monty.

at isn't necessary for you to sabe.
Results are what counts. Barring acci-
dents, you Timanyoni High Line
people can reasonably count on having
me with you for the next few critical
days; and, l may add. you never
needed me more pointedly."
Starbuck's smile was face-wide.
II hope I don't feel sorry" he re-
marked. "Some day, when you can
take an hour or SO of, I'm going to
get you to show me around in your
little mu-zeeum of self-conceit. John.
Maybe I can learn how to gather me
up one."
Smith matched the mine owners
good-natured smile. For some unex-
plainable reason the world, his particu-
lar world, seemed to have lost Its
malignance. He could even think Of
Stanton without bitterness; and the
weapon which had been weighing his
hip pocket for the past few days had
been carefully buried in the bottom Of
the lower dressing-case drawer before
he came down to breakfast.
You may laugh, Billy, but you'll
have to admit that I've been outfigur-
ing the whole bunch of you, right from
the start" he retorted brazenly. But
let's get down to business. This Is
practically Stanton's last day of grace.
II he can't get some legal hold upon
us before midnight tomorrow night,
or work some scheme to make US lose
our franchise, his job Is gone"
"Show me-" said the mine owner sue
cinctly.
Its easy. With the dam completed
and the water running in the bitches,
we become at once going concern,
with assets a long way in advance Of
our liabilities. The day after tomor-
row-if we pull through-you won't
be able to buy single share Of
Timanyoni High Line at any figure.
AS a natural consequence, public senti-
ment, which, we may say, Is at pres
ent a little doubtful, will come over
to our side in q landslide, and Stan
tons outfit, If it wants to continue the
fight, will have to fight the entire
Timanyoni, with the city Of Brewster
thrown In for good measure. Am I
making 1t plain?'
Right you are, so far. Go on"
"Billy. I'll tell YOU something that
haven't dared to tell anybody, not
even Colonel Baldwin. I've been
spending the company's money like
water to keep in touch. The minute
we fail. and long before we could
hope to reorganize second time and
apply for a new charter, Stanton's COM
pany will be in the field, with its char
ter already granted. From that to TAX
ing possession Of our dam. either by
means of an enabling act of the leg
islature, or by purchase from the pa
per railroad, will be only a step. And
