Weeds Are FIuhtsrs

Weeds have spent their energies
developing fighting power while
the crops have been developed UNI
der the most favorable conditions
so that they could put all their EN-
orgies into developing their quail
ties valuable to man. They have
largely lost their fighting power.
To allow weeds to grow in the crop
is a good deal like keeping sheep
and wolves in the same enclosure.
Swat the weeds and give the crop
the chance that it needs to develop
to- it's full capacity.

brushing the crowd to one side. With
a howl Of rage he grasped "Sate" by

FATE PURSUED THIS TOMMY
Nearly Spent Bullet Goes Through
Hole Made in His Helmet by
German Sniper.

James Dickinson, a COnvalescent
Canadian soldier, in a letter to
friend, tells this story Of the great
war:
During a lull. in the battle of the
Marine one of the Canadian troopers
took off his steel helmet and, placing
It on the end of his rifle. held 1t Sc
that about half of 1t protruded above
the top of the trench. A German
sniper, observing it, at once shot at it,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughingly showed
it to his comrades and placed 1t back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to Ego over the top" and this same
TON" was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall, MORALLY
wounded.
1t was discovered at the dressing
station that he had been struck by
nearly spent bullet that had gone
through one of the holes that he had
so recently shown his fellow soldiers
in laughter.

LOSS OF FAT IN SKIM MILK
Farmer Using Separator Should Pay
Close Attention to Matter-chief
Cause Is Speed.

Every farmer who uses a separator
to skim his milk should give close at
tention to see that he does not lose fat
in the skim milk. A small percentage
Of fat going into the skim milk contin-
uously means great loss for the year.
If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
and four tenths of one per cent is lost,
1t would mean for the year loss of
about So per COW.
There may be many causes to pro-
duce such a loss. Probably the chief
cause is the speed of the bowl. If a
separator is turned too slowly the milk
does not skim clean and fat goes over
into the skim milk. Another cause
might be the temperature of the milk.
For close skimming milk should be So
degrees or above. Still another cause
Is an unbalanced bowl. See that the
separator gets plenty of oil when run
ming and do not neglect it when it gets
out of order.

Two minutes beyond this the car
was drawing up to the curb on the
meSa-facing side Of the courthouse
square. There were two lighted win
dows in the second story of the other
wise darkened building, and Smith
sprang to the sidewalk.
"Go now and find Harding, and have
him bring one trusty deputy with
him: I'll be ready by the time you get
back" he directed; but Starbuck wait
ed until he had seen Smith safely lost
in the shadows of the pillared court
house entrance before he drove away.

MAKING IDEAL DAIRY RATION
Silo Solves Succulence Problem Best
Roots Should Be More Generally
Fed to Cows.

1t Is very necessary that succulence
be supplied if we hope to come any
where near an ideal dairy ration. The
silo solves this problem best. From all
points of view silage is to be preferred.
The second choice would be roots.
These will be very satisfactory, either
when fed alone or supplementary to
the silage, and should be more gener-
ally fed than at present on all dairy
farms. Lacking either of these, it will
be important to secure similar effects
through the grain ration with the aid
of alfalfa or clover if available. In
this connection oil meal Is of great
value because Of it's well-known laxa-
tive properties coupled with it's high
protein content.

may be given morning and evening.
Have clean tin feed bucket; disease
and no end or germs may be found in
dirty buckets. Feed every day and set
out in the sun and air.

be fed warm; cold and sour milk will

account of the length of the interval.

coasting to the hill bottom.
"Yes."
With a sudden flick of the controls
and a quick jamming of the brakes,
Starbuck brought the car to a stand
just as 1t came into the level road.

CHAPTER XVI.
Freedom.


On the northern bank of the Timan-
yoni the Brewster street, Of which the
wagon bridge is a prOlongation, be-
comes a country road, fOrking few
hundred yards from the bridge APP
proach to send one of its branchings
northward among the Little Creek
ranches and another westward up the
right bank of the stream.
At this fork of the road, between
eleven and twelve o'clock of the night
of alarms, Sheriff Hardings party of
special deputies began to assemble.
Under each mans saddle flap was
slung the regulation weapon of the
West-a Scabbarded repeating rifle;
and the small troop punching itself in
the river road looked serviceably mill
tant and businesslike.
An automobile rolled silently down
the mesa road from the north and
came to a stand among the horses.
The sheriff drew rein beside the car
and spoke to one of the two occu-
pants:
"Well, Mr.. Smith, we're all here"
GLOW many?" was the curt question.
"Twenty."
"Good. Here is your authority
handing the legal papers to the officer.
Before we go in you ought to know
the facts. y few hours ago a man
named MGraw, calling himself depu-
ty United States marshal and claim
ing to be acting under instructions
from Judge Lorching's court in Red
Butte, took possession of our dam and
camp. On the even chance that he
isn't what he claims to be, we are 60
ing to arrest him and every man in his
crowd. Are you game for it,"
"Im game to serve any papers that
Judge Warmers got the nerve to is
sue" was the big mans reply.
"That's the talk; that's what hoped
to hear you say. Was Stanton arrest
ed?"
"He sure was. Strothers found him
in the Hophra House bar, and the line
of talk he turned loose would have set
wet blanket afire. Just the same,
he had to go along with Jimmie and
get himself locked up"
"That Is the first step; now If you're
ready, We'll take the next"
Harding rode forward and the ad-
vance began. For the first mile or so
the midnight silence was unbroken
save by the subdued progress noises
and the murmurings of the nearby
river in its bed. Once Smith took the
wheel while Starbuck rolled and light
ed cigarette. 1t was Starbuck who
harked back to the talk which had
been so abruptly broken off.
Lets not head into this ruction
with an unpicked bone betwixt us,
john" he began gently. "Maybe said
too much, back yonder at the foot of
the hill"

around the plaza, and beyond to the
less brilliantly illuminated residence
district-which was not the shortest
way to the courthouse.
"You mustn't pull Judge Warmers
leg, john" he protested, breaking the
purrlng silence after the business quar-
ter had been left behind; "hes too
good man for that"
IL shall tell him the exact truth, so
far as we know it," was the quick
reply. "There Is one chance in thou
sand that we shall come out Of this
with the law-as well as the equities
on our side. l shall tell the judge
that no papers have been served on
us, and, so far as know, they haven't.
What are you driving all the way
around here forp
"This is one of the times when the
longest way round Is the shortest way
home," Starbuck explained. "The bad
aSws you were looking for has came

Starbuck's answer was wOrdless.
With u quick twist of the pilot wheel
he sent the car skiddlng around the
corner, using undue haste, as it
seemed, since they had two hours be-
fore them. A few minutes farther
along the lights of the town had been
left behind and the car was speeding
swiftly westward on a country road
paralleling the railway track; the
road over which Smith had twice
driven with the kidnapped Jibbey.
'pm still guessing" the passenger
ventured, when the last of the rail-
road distance signals had flashed to
the rear. And then: whats the fran
tic hurry, Billy?"
Starbuck was running with the
mufIler cut out, but now he cut it in
and the roar of-the motor sank to a
humming murmur.
II thought So" he remarked, turn
ing his head to listen. you didn't
notice that police whistle just as we
were leaving the courthouse, did you?
nor the answers to it while we were
lodging through the suburbs? Some
body has marked us down and passed
the word, and now they're chasing us
with a buzz-wagon. Don't you hear
it?"
