CHAPTER XIV.
The Unheeded Warninu-

On the evening of the same day
London was stirred by a sensation
which eclipsed even the interest in the
progress of the war. The evening
newspapers contained, in full, DOnalds
narration of the approaching ruin of
the world.
The second sea lord, receiving Don
AIDS name, came to the conclusion that
matters of the most pressing moment
must have brought the unknown young
American naval officer He rose from
his desk and shook hands with him
cordially. 'Sit down. Mr.. Paget" he
said warmly. Then he noticed that
Donald was dressed in q nondescript
diving suit and that his looks were de-
cidedly wild.
Donald sat down and plunged in
stantly into the story of the world
danger. 1t did not lose its dramatic
interest in the manner of its telling.
you must stop the war at once,'
Donald ended. Unite all nations of
the earth, for that is the only way to
save the human race. 1t is a matter
of hours, perhaps. Even now these
monsters may be speeding southwark -
The second sea lord had been unable
to interpose word by reason of the
torrent of impassiOned speech that
poured from DOnalds lips. At first he
listened in amazement at what he con-
sidered an impudent hoax; then in
anger; then, after u brief glance at
Donald's face, with absolute passfvity
81 thank you, Mr.. Paget," he said
rising, when Donald had ended. 'You
have done notable work, and England
will not forget it. And now, sir, you
must be conducted to the prime min
lister at once, that you may apprise
him of these startling events"
He touched his bell, and his secre
tary. dapper, alert little man, at once
appeared. Excuse me one moment
please" said the second sea lord tc
Donald.
He whispered with the secretary
whom Donald perceived to glance
toward him in rather apprehensive
manner. The secretary came forward
making a prepOsterously low bow.
Il will conduct you to the prime min
lister at once, Mr.. Paget,'' he said. eNo
time must be lost. 1 am going to have
a taXicab called"
Donald addressed the second ses
lord again.

himself with an effort of will. .sVer,
well, my lord, I shall say no more a
this time. On you will rest the respon
sibility. And you will repent this bit
terly within day or two"
And he walked quietly out of tn,

PROPER FEEDING IN WINTER
Practice of Confining Fowls to House
During Cold Weather Neces-
states Extra Care.

The general practice Of confning the
laying stock TO the house during the
winter necessitates extra care and at
tention if good results are TO be had.
The houses must be kept clean and the
birds supplied with the important feeds
they find on the range Plenty Of min
erals. in the form Of grit and shell, and
a liberal supply Of green feed must be
provided in addition to tie regular
feeds. Exercise is best Supplied by
feeding the whole grains in a deep
litter Of straw.

one just what conditions are necessary.
Briefly these conditions are, good
warm construction, tight windows, pre-
ferably of double glass, tight-fttfng
doors, suitable intakes provided for let
ting in fresh air, and then one or more
warmly constructed, properly located
hueS extending from near the floor to
a point above the highest part of the
roof. With these conditions, the heat
from the animals warns up the air in
the flue and this creates a circulation,
just as starting a fire in a stove does,
and in this way the foul and damp air
is taken out and fresh, dry air ad,
mitted.

ing fountain is the most sanitary way
OF supplying water. In cold weather,
when the water may freeze quickly,
the difficulty may be overcome by heat

tight, except the space from which the
hens get the supply, the water re-
mains warm sufficiently long for them
to get all they wish The can, how
ever, should be emptied every day, TO
keep il from being injured BY frost.

NARROWING HOUSE FOR SoWS
Building Usually Preferred Is One
With Pens on Each Side and
Alley in Middle.

There are two kinds of narrowing
houses-the stationary and the port
able. a breeder needs both if he has
from 10 to 20 brood sows narrowing
about the same time. The kind of far
rowing house usually preferred is one
with pens on each side with a four
foot hallway through the middle, with
plenty Of light and no direct draft.
The pens should be at least 10 by u
feet with a similar space on the out
side for the SOW TO exercise.

GOOD SHELTER WILL
SAVE CATTLE FEEDS
Careful Consideration Must Be
Given to Relative Cost and
Value of Feed.
By h. H KILDEE, University Farm,
st. Paul, Minn.)

(By H H KILDEEB University Farm.
St Paul, Mimi
Concentrates and rOughageS make
very costly fuel with which to warm
dairy COWS sheltered on the Ieeward
side OF a wire fence these cold wintry
days. Proper shelter decreases the
fuel, feed cost, and results in increased
milk production.
Successful dairy farmers do not
overfeed, and do not feed from dirty
pals, but they do feed regularly the
heifer calves that are to grow into
profitable COWS They also provide
dry, well-lighted, and ventilated pens.
Careful consideration must be given
to the relative cost and value Of feed
stuffs this winter, and the dairyman
with silage, roots and clover and al
falfa hay has even more advantage
than usual

Weight always should be considered
in connection with age in market sheep
and with sex in breeding animals.
Sheep one year old and under are con-
sidered lambs on the market. Lambs
are desirable as butcher stock, because
they are in greatest demand by the
consumer and are most profitable to
the producer if he is raising sheep only
for mutton production. Weight is in
f1uenced by breed and degree OF fat
ness as well as by age. Although plenty
Of weight is desired, there is objection
to great weight because it is likely to
be associated with coarseness and a
low dressing percentage and give cuts
too large to suit the demands of the
retail trade. Lambs weighing from
20 to so pounds are in greatest de-
mand. Mature wethers should weigh
over 90 pounds.
Form.
The point of view of the butcher
should be kept in mind in considering
the form of a mutton steak. As the
most valuable cuts of meat are on the
hind quarters and loin, the butcher re-
quires 4 heavy leg of mutton and a
broad back with a deep, full loin. In
order to secure this development in the
hind quarters there must be a CORE
spending development in other parts
OF the body. The general form, then,
should be smooth and even, a large
frame without heavy bones giving
a plump appearance. Low-set, broad
forms generally have q special devel-
Opment of loin and leg and dress out
with a relatively small percentage OF
waste, hence are most desired by the
butchers. A full, smooth outline is an
indication of flesh which is thick and
even. Long legs, dropping rump, fiat
ribs and narrow chest with open Shout
ders, giving a general angular and

rough appearance, indicate a relatively
large amount OF waste and cheaper
cuts in proportion to valuable meat
Quality.
Quality is an evidence of refinement
as opposed to coarseness. Usually it is
associated with good breeding. Quail
ity is important In the mutton sheep
class because it is associated also with
ability to fatten rapidly, and because
with sheep of good quality the percen-
tage Of waste is lower than with sheep
of inferior quality. Good quality is
indicated by a head and ears OF me-
dunn size which appear lean and clean
cut; fine, dense bone Of medium size
mellow skin, pink in color; soft, silky
hair on face and legs and those por-
tiOns of the ears not covered by wool
Indications OF a lack Of quality are q
general coarseness as shown by a
large, rough head; coarse, large ears
large, open frame, with coarse bone
and rough joints; a thick, wrinkly
skin covered with heavy, greasy wool,
or a coat OF wool that is harsh and
coarse, and containing more or less
kemp.
Condition.
The term condition or Finish"
when used in connection With mutton
sheep refers to the degree OF fairness.
Fat animals are preferred by the
butcher because they dress a higher
percentage OF edible meat than do thin
animals; their carcasses present a bet
ter appearance; they lose less weight
in refrigeration and cooking; they pos
Sess better curing and keeping quail
ties; and the edible quality OF the meat
is improved when a considerable
amount of fat is distributed through
out the lean A good mutton sheep
will have a smooth finish; that is, the
fat will not be in punches, but have an
even distribution over the body.

First Grain for Lambs.

grain should be ground. A good grain
mixture for lambs after they are five
or six weeks old is: Ground corn, one
pound; crushed oats, one pound; lin

raising colts. The average farmer is
not advised to replace all of his work
mules with horses, but a sufficient
number should be kept to raise animals
to replace WORKOUT work stock.
Above all, breed to big strengthened
jacks and registered draft stations of
pure breeding, sound and of acceptable
weight.
