FEED SORGHUM GRAINS
Kafir and Feterita Can Be Sub stituted Economically
 for Corn.


 from over the state regarding the value of the grains from non- saccharine sorghums, such as kaffir, milo, and feterita for fat tening swine.
 While these sorghums are grown but little in the State for grain purposes, and perhaps nev- CT will be grown extensively, the question of their feeding value is just as vital, since large quan- titles of the grain from these sorghums find market in Ark ansas. When corn is scerce and therefore high priced, it is not unusual to find these sorghum grains offered on the market in large quantities and at a price often much lower than the pre- vailing prices of corn. When such conditions prevail, these sorghum grains could be used to good advantage, provided their feeding value would justify it.
 The object of this experiment was to determine the relative feeding value of non-saccharine sorghum grains for fattening swine. Kaffir and feterita were used in this experiment.
 Fifteen well grown shoats, av- eraging about one Hundred and sixteen pounds, were used in this experiment. They were divided into three lots of five each. Each lot consisted of three Duroc-Jer- seys and two Berkshires. The lots were as uniform in respect to condition, sex and quality as it was possible to make them. Prior to the experimental period these shoats had the same feeds and treatment. They were thlif ty but thin, and therefore in the best possible condition to put on rapid gains when put into the fattening pens. Each lot was provided shelter in the Station hog house and had access to a small dry lot for exercise. The following rations were fed Lot l. Kaffir nine parts, tanit. age one part.
 Lot 2. Feterita nine parts, Tankage one part.
 Lot 3. Corn nine parts, Tank age one part.
 The kafir, feterita and corn were all ground and mixed in the proper proportion with the tankage, and the respective mix lures placed in bins.
 The feeding was done twice daily, the mixtures being weigh ed out just prior to the feeding and thoroughly soaked with wa ter. Fresh water and mineral matter were supplied in addition
 Each lot was weighed on three successive days at the beginning and close of the experiment and also weekly during the course of the experiment. This experiment extended over five week feed ing period.
 In computing the cost of gains, the following prices were used, which were the prevailing prices at the time this work was done: coarse ground corn chops, $1.85 per cwt., ground kaf- ir and ground feterita each $1.95 per cwt., and sixty per cent tankage -2.50 per cwt.
 The following able gives the xations fed, gains, average daily gains, feeds consumed for 100 pounds gain, and

On the Mail Boat

"A slope at the head of the bay. Each
vehicle but one rumbled behind a pair of
lelsurely horses. That one, a car will,

from tail to head of the procession and
vanished in the dust toward the pier The
sea stretched like a sheet of brilliant glass
hight out across the bay and the firth
beyond to the great blue island hills, calm
as tar as the eye could search it. On the
green, treeless shores, with their dusty
roads and their dihes of ilagstones set on
edge, there was scarcely enough breeze to
stir the grasses. 1--WE shall have a fine
crossing" said the passengers in the
coaches to one another.

"But this is really very high-handed,
sir. MIR. Burnett is very old friend of
mine''-
The lieutenant came a step nearer to
him and said very earnestly and per-
suasively:
"You have an opportunity, Mr.. Drum
mond, of doing a service to your country
by keeping absolute silence. We can trust
you to do that for England, surely?"
For Great Britain" corrected Mr..
Drummond, who was member of a So
ciety for propagating bagpipe music and
of another for commemorating Bannock-
burn. "Well, yes, if you put it like that.
Oh, certainly, certainly! Yes, you can
trust me, Mr.. Topham. But-er-what
am to say to Mrs. Drummond about youl.
visit?"
Say that was sent to ask you to keep
your lights obscured," suggested the lieu
tenant; with smile.
"Capital!" said the householder. "I've
warned her several times about the pantry
window. That will kill two birds with one
stone"
Good morning, sir Thank you very
much,' said the lieutenant.
Mr.. Drummond was left in a very di
vided state of mind regarding the navy's
competence, Mr.. Burnett's sanity and his
own Judgment.

CHAPTER w
Mr.. Drummond's Visitor

I pom a secluded road in the quiet
~ suburb of Trinity stood the res;-
dence of Mr.. Robert Drummond. 1t was
neat unpretentious little villa graced by a
number of trees and cinging Virginia
creeper, and Mr.. Drummond was a neat,
unpretentious little gentleman, graced by
n number of virtues and devoted Mrs
Drurnmoad. From the upper windows Of
his house you could catch glimpse of the
rastled and tempted hills of Edinburgh on
the one side and the shining Forth and
green coasts of Fife on the other. The
Forth in fact, was close at hand, and OF
late Mr.. Drummond had been greatly en-
tertained by observing many interesting
movements upon its waters.
He had looked forward to exhibiting.
md cXpounding .scse features to his
friend, Mr. Burnett, and felt considerably
disappointed when upon tho morning of
the day when the minister should have
come a telegram arrived instead 1t ran:
"Unavoidably prevented from coming to
'tay with you. Shall explain later. Many re-
Erets. Don't trouble reply. Leaving home
immediately. BURNETT"
AS Mr.. DrumHond studied this tele-
1sm lie began to feel not only disap-
pointed, but a trifc critical
''A1ec Surnett must have come into a
!ortune!" he said to himself. "Six words
the whole of threepence-wasted in tell
lg me not to reply! AS if I'd be spending
ny money on anything so foolish. never
law such extravaganza"
On tho following morning Mr.. Drum
nond was as usual up betimes. He had
retired year or two before from re-
,ponsible position in an insurance Office,
,ut he still retained his active business
habits, and by 8 o'clock every morning Of
he summer was out and busy in his garden.
It still wanted ten minutes to 8, and he
vas just buttonng up his wastcoat when
,e heard the front door bell ring. A min
tie or two later the maid announced that
Mr. Topham was desirous of seeing Mr..
Jrummond Immediately.
"Mr Topham?" he asked.
"He's n navy officer, sir" said the maid.

Mr.. Taylor turned to

With that he jumped out and stood by

luctantly he descended from the car, and
once he was on the road, Mr.. Taylor gave
him no time for further debate.

then turning to the chauffeur: "Come
along, too, James,"
Close by there was a gate in the fence
and they all three went through this and
quietly crossed the short stretch of grass

Mr.. Burnett peered hard into the dark
ness, but he could see absolutely nothing.
All at once he realized that they were get
ting very close to the brink and that if
there were any one in front he would
certainly be silhouetted against the sky.
There could not possibly be any use in
going further. Why, then, did they con-
tinue to advance? At that clear and ter
rifying instinct of danger seized him. He
turned round sharply and uttered one loud
ringing cry.
He was looking straight into the chauf-
feur's face, and it seemed as though he
were looking into his own, distorted by
murderous intention. Above it the mans
hand was already raised. 1t descended
and the minister fell on the turf with a
gasp. He knew no more of that nights

Blackjack is an officer on special service at
present"
"Commander!" exclaimed Mr.. Drum
mond, with menacing sniff. "But you
just called him captain"
"Commanders get the courtesy title of
captain" exclaimed the lieutenant, rising
as he spoke. "Thank you very much, Mr.
Drummond. There's only one thing more
I'd like to say"-
"Aye, but there are several things I'd
like to say" said Mr.. Drummond very
firmly. 81 want to know what's the mean
ing of this outrage to my friend. What's
your theory?"
Before the war Lieutenant Topham had
been an officer on a passenger liner, but ne
had already acquired in great perfection
the real navy mask.
I cit seems rather mysterious" he replied
in most unsuitably light and indiffer-
ent tone, Mr.. Drummond considered.
"But surely you have some IDEAS"
The lieutenant shook his head.
"We'll probably get to the bottom of it
sooner or later"
"a good deal later than sooner, I'm
afraid" said Mr.. Drummond severely.
"You've informed the police, presume?"
"The affair is not in my hands, Mr..
Drummond."
"Then whose hands is it in?'
II have not been consulted on that
point"
liver since the war broke out Mr..
~ Drummonds views concerning the
navy had been in a state of painful flux.
Sometimes he felt a genuine pride as
taxpayer in having provided himself with
such an efficient and heroic service; at
other times he sadly suspected that his
money had been wasted, and Used to urge
upon all his acquaintance the strong opin-
ion that the navy should really "do some
thing"-and be quick about it, too.
Lieutenant Topham depressed him
greatly. There seemed such an cxtraordi-
nary lack of intelligent interest about the
fellow. How differently Nelson would
have repled!
"Well, there's one thing I absolutely in
sist upon getting at the bottom Of" he
said resolutely. "I am accused of sending
long telegram to Mr.. Burnett about a
Mr. Taylor. Now I want to know the
meaning Of that"
Lieutenant Topham smiled, but his
smile, instead Of soothing, merely provoked
the indignant householder.
"Neither you nor Mr. Burnett is ac-
cused of sending kilograms. We only know
that you received them"
'Then who sent them, I'd like to
know?"
"That, no doubt, will appear in time.

The householder looked considerably
taken aback. He had anticipated making
a pleasant sensation among his friends.

cretlon"-- he began.
Lieutenant Topham shook his head.

They bent round the corner of the bay
and passed the little row of houses, pressed
close beneath the high, grassy bank, and
rumbled onto the pier. The sentries and
the naval guard eyed the passengers with
professional suspicion as they gathered in
queue to show their passports and then
gradually struggled toward the mail boat.
But there was one passenger who was
particularly eyed, though if all the g!snces
toward her were prompted by suspicion it
was we'll concealed. She was a girl of
anything from twenty-five to twenty-five,
1.-THE, dressed to a miracle, dark-haired,
and more than merely pretty. Her darl,
eyebrows, nearly meeting; her bright and
singularly intelligent eyes, her firm mouth
and resolute chin, the mixture of thought
fulness in her expression and decision in
her movements, were not the usual in
gradients of prettness. Yet her features
were so fine and her complexion was so
clear and there was so much charm as we'll
as thought in her expression that the
whole effect Of her was delightful. Un-
doubtedly she was beautiful.
She was clearly travelling alone and
evidently a stranger to those parts. Nc
one on the pier or steamer touched hat
or greeted her, and from her quick looks
of interest it was plain that everything
was fresh to her. The string of passen4
gers was blocked for a moment on the
stood tall man who had come aboard
minute or two before. He took his eyes
dscreetly off her face and they fell upon
her bag. There on the label he could
plainly read, "Miss Eileen Holland" Then
she passed on, and the tall man kept look
ing after her.
Having piled her lighter luggage on a
seat in very brisk and businesslike fash
ion, Miss Holland strolled across the deck
and leaned, with her back against the
ratings and her hands in the pockets of
her loose tweed coat, studying with a
shrewd glance her fellow passengers Thew
included a number of soldiers in khaki, on
leave apparently; several nondescript and
uninteresting people, mostly female, ana
the tall man. At him she glanced several
times. lie was very obviously clergy
man of some sort, in the conventional
black felt hat and long, dark overcoat.
and yet, though his face was not at all ur
clerical, it seemed to her that he was no.
exactly the usual type. Then she saw his
eyes turn on her again and she gazed for
some minutes at the pier just above their
heads.
The cable was cast off, and the little
steamer backed through the foam Of her
own wake, and, wheeling, set forth for
the isles. For a while Miss Holland
watched the green semcirce slowly re-
ceding astern and the shining waters
opening ahead, and then turned to more
practical matter. Other passengers were
eying the laden deck seat
'l'n afraid my things are in your way"
she said, and, crossing the deck, took up a
bag and looked round for place to put it.
The clergyman was beside her in a
stride.
"Allow me. I'll stow it away for YOU"
he said.
He spoke with smile, hut with an air
of complete decision and quiet command.
and with murmur of thanks she yielded
the bag almost automatically. AS he

Unceasing Misery
Some Barton Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Rest or Comfort.

There is little sleep, little rest, lit
tie peace for many a sufferer from
kidney trouble. Life is one continu-
al round of pain. You can't rest at
night when there's kidney backache.
You suffer twinges and "stabs" of
pain, annoying urinary disorders,
lameness and nervousness. You
can't be comfortable at work with
darting pains and binding dizzy
spells. Neglect these ailments and
serious troubles may follow. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first
sign of disorder. Thousands have
testified to their merit.
Proof in Barton testimony:
G. H. Hammond, N. Main St., Bar
ton, says: "From hard work and
heavy lifting, my kidneys became dis
ordered and my back ached and
panied. The kidney secretions were
highly colbred and I had to get up
often at night. I had dull, aching
pain in my back which was very an
noying. I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have always relieved
me when 1 have suffered this
way. I do not hesitate to recommend
them"

the grand list little from the previ-

Wood That Leaps Like Living Flame.
Ruskin went into raptures over the
wood carvings Of the choir. "What-
ever you wish to see, or are forced
to leave unseen at Amiens." he said.
IF the overwhelming possibilities Of
your existence and the inevitable ne
cessities Of precipitate locomotion in
their fulf1llment have left you so much
as one quarter Of an hour, not out Of
breath, for the contemplation of the
capital of Picardy, give it wholly to
the cathedral choir. Aisles and
porches, lancet windows and roses,
you can see elsewhere as we'll as
here-but such carpenters work you
cannot. It is latefully developed fam
boyant just past the fifteenth century,
and has some Flemish stolidity mixed
with the playing French fire of it; but
wood carving was the Picard's Joy
from his youth up, and so far as l
know there is nothing else so beau
tiful cut out of the goodly trees of the
world. Sweet and young grained wood
1t Is; oak, trained and chosen for such
work, sound now as four hundred years
since. Under the carver's hand it
seems to cut like clay, to fold like
Silk, to leap like living flame. Can

Ruskin notes that the dominant tone
Of the sculptures that so profusely
decorate the cathedral is that of peace
and mercy.
Summing up his Interpretation of
the Amiens cathedral, the "Bible of
Amiens," as Ruskin asks:
"Who built it, shall we ask? God
and man is the first true answer. The
