breeding represented in their pedi-
grees. Efforts should be made to Sc
lect bulls that have the same family
lines in order that line breeding may
be practiced when the bulls are ex-
changed. Before the bulls are finally
purchased plenty of time should be
given TO selecting the line Of breeding
desired.
Althoueh records Of production are
of great importance, it is very neces-
sary also that the bulls.s selected have
plenty of strength, great vlgor ana
good body conformation. If the mem
hers are rot experienced in buying
cattle, it is we'll to ask the state asri-
cultural college for advice and assist
ance in making tie selection.
Tn buying bulls special care should
he taken to see that the animals
chosen are healthy and especially that
tbey are. free from the infection OF
either tuberculosis or contagious apor-
tion If possible the buhs should be
nurchascd from herds accredited by
tho bureau of animal industry as be-
inr free from tuberculosis. A list OF
snch herds may be obtained from the
bureau. If it is impossible to buy from
an accredited herd purchase from
breeder WAC will furnish satisfactory
evidence that the animals have passed
the tuberculin test and have neVef
reacted to that test.

PROPER SELECTION OF BULL
One Of the Most Important Considers.
tions for Improvement of Herd
Look to Records.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Since the use of meritoriouS pure.
bred bulls is the means by which MEM
bers of bull association expect to
improve their live stock, one Of the
many important considerations is
the selection of the bulls. Such bulls
improve the herds, and the associa-
ton interest Increases in proportion to
the Improvement obtained. On the
olher. hand, poor bulls cause the in
terest to decrease accordingly. If g
poor dairy bull is used the milk pro-
duction Of the members herds is great
ly rednced, the interest is lessened,
and these conditions may lead to the
breaking up Of the association. I'm
fortunately, an excellent dairy bull
can be selected with certainty only
when his daughters records are
known.
Such tried or tested bull can be
depended upon with great certainty to
cause Improvement in the herds in
the bull association. The owner OF.
tried bull, however, usually knows
the record Of the animals daughters
and rightfully asks a high price fos-
him. The high, cost often makes the
members hesitate to purchase such
bulls for the association, and instead
they buy younger and untried bulls
whose ancestors have made good pro
duction records. NO bulls should be
purchased for an association except
from one of these two classes. Con.
sidering the records of ancestors, the
most important are those of the sire
and dam. In the case Of the sire, pro
duction record is taken as the average
of all his daughters records. Very
often the records Of some of the an
cestors are lacking, but every effort
should be made to obtain bulls whose
ancestors in the first two generations
have an average yearly record of at
least 400 pounds Of butterfat at ma
turity.
The state agricultural college may
be in a position to assist in looking
up pedIgrees and records and always
should be consulted. AS soon as the
money can be provided for the pur-
pose, it is advisable for the assoela-
ton to OBTAIN set of advanced Regis
ter" or Register Of Merit books
and, if possible, a set Of breed
registry books Of the breed used, both
of whilt are valuable for reference to
ali the members Of the association. In
formation in regard to the cost of "Ad-
vanced Register" and breed-registry
books may be obtained from the breed
associations as follows:

CHAPTER VIII.

Inserting the key Mr. Wick handed me, I turned it sharply and flung the door wide. It revealed a luxrrio,lSIy furnished apartment, the front rooms of which were extravagantly ablaze with light.
 For moment the three of us. Mr. Wick. the elevator boy and myself. stood there with our ears alert for any sound from the apartment. While do not admit to being coward, the unknown has it's terrors for all of us. and must confess that the knowledge that Mir. Wick had his revolver drawn was indeed comforting. All was silence in the place.
 "JOhn," said Wick to the elevator boy, you stand here right by the door and keep your eye on the elevator. If anybody tries to sneak past you, you holler for us"
 Deed I will. Mir. Wick" said the hoy. with chattering teeth. "I'll holler. all right"
 GO ahead, Mir. Nelson" said the s1l- perintendent. "Fm right behind you with the revolver"
 Without waiting to explore the front rooms, l turned at once and ran down fhe long hail to the sitting room. If. as suspected. murder had been done here l was confident that the scene slf the tragedy would be the room di- rdat rnIn I hs,l hearl-and the shot--had seemed to come from under my very feet.
 Although the lights in the front of the iiall were burning, the sitting room was in darkness. AS l reached the door. my fingers sought the button, and as the flare of light illuminated the room looked hastily about me. There was no one there. but my one quick glance showed me that the door of the wall safe, located similarly to the one in the apartment above, was standing wide open,
 Quirkly sprang to inspect the room corresponding to mine. room. 1t will be recalled, opening off the sitting room. Here, too, was darkness, and as I turnsa op the lights. l stood aghast with hdrror:
 On the f1oor,A close up to the inner wall, lay the cont0rted body of a beau- nful young woman. Her eyes were wide open and staring. One arm was twisted under her. and the other hand was clutching at the front of her

bodice, where a blotch of ghastly red indicated the path of the shot that had heard.
 'Its Miss Lutan," said Mir. Wick's voice behind me.
 "She's been murdered" cried "get the police at Onee."
 As I benr over her to see if there was any evidence of life. l saw im- printed in her tender white throat the marks of her assailant's brutal fingers.
 Come" said "help me lift her on to this couch. and then telephone at once for a doctor.
 Mr. Wick had been all the while standing there. staring at the body as if stupefied by the tragedy, but he obeyed my directions. and with him at her feet and at her head we laid her down on the couch. where l proceeded to loosen her gown and to try by arti- 6cial respiration to restore her blood to circulation.
 ..Get the doctor at once" l com. manded again, "and phone for the po- lice"
 "John." called out Mir. Wick. 'go to the phone and tell Miss Kelly to send for Doctor Hunt to come at once."
 Tell her to get the police. too," I insisted.
 And let the burglar escape while we're doing it." objected Mir. Wick. "come on, let's look through the apart ment. He may be hiding somewhere still"
 Together. while the boy was phon- inc we went from room to room. peer ing into closets and under beds. There was no one there and no traces of the murderers presence. Even the ,serv- ants quarters were untenanted. Only one thing happened that struck me as pec,,liar. AS started up the nall to search the bedrooms. I looked back and caught Mir. Wick furtiyeIy closing

 "IlOw long?" I asked.
 "It is impossible for me to judge maybe twenty minutes, perhaps an hour. should say that death was practically instantaneous. She was killed by a bullet penetrating the heart. Who shot her?''
 He looked sharply from me to Mr. Wick. as if suspecting that it might have.been one of us.
 "A burglar got her just few min utes ago." Mir. Wick explained "Mr. Nelson and me heard scream and a shot. We let ourselves in here with my pass key and found her here. It must have been a burglar that she sur prised when she entered the apart ment.'
 'It looks like it." assented the phy- sician. ''There are marks on her throat where he tried to sUangle her screams. Have you notified the po- lice?"
 "Yes," said Mir. Wick.
 "There's nothing more that can do, then" said the doctor, making his preparations to depart.
