Six Piers Embraced
Primarily thc following advantages
| are to bo gained: the avoidance of de-
lay in the movement of ships, includ-
ing the saving of detention Of vessels
at segregated terminals on account of
weather conditions, the expense Of
which the Shipping Board now bears;
the ALLEGATION of berths for ships at
. concentrated terminal embracing six
piers. according to available tonnage
and vessel space; the assignment of
cargo to vessels according to the same
conditions, and the maintenance Of
permanent stevedoring gangs and the
ability to shift them from one vessel
to another as circumstances might re-
Quire.
Tho shifting of lighters under one
control by Shipping Board towboats,
which are now allocated to operators,
would result in economy Of time and
expense in the movement of the two
boats from isolated points to vessels
well as in the saving of delay to ship
pers.
Advantages Enumerated
Other advantages Of the formation
Of this proposed company would be
the Teuuctlon IN the cost or main
tenance of the piers, that freight in
small quantities could be concentrated
at common bulkhead fronting all of
the piers and handled at sr1,ll expense
to and from the piers by electric trac-
tors and controls, and that railroad
cars can be run to the piers and un-
loaded without double handling
charge and also reduce congestion Of
lighters alongside the ships.
1t is advocated that machine shop
be established for minor repairs that
would not require the removal of the
vessel from its berth.
The concentrated control and opera
tion of the Hobokcn Manufacturers
Railroad and the Hoboken Terminals
would allow the consolidation of
operating and clerical forces, accord
ing to the plan, and would result in
greater efficiency Of operation and
material economy, it is said, than if
separately operated.

est. He recognized an English weapon of value out of all proportion to the price asked.
 '.I'll take it." he said. and paid down the money. There was momentary darkening of Gardlner's face which nobody noticed.
 The little party then moved out to the street. Gardiner had regained his smooth manner. and gave some final directions about the road.
 "Oh, we'll find it all right" said Allan. in high spirits, "and we'll beat you to the shanty unless you've some faster nags at home than any I see you driving. So long"
 "So long" called Gardiner. "So long. and good luck"
 "So long. an good luck" repeated Riles. He was trying to play the game, but. as Gardiner often reminded him. he had no imagination. It would have been quite impossible for Riles, on his own initiative. to have thought of wishing the Harrises good luck" on she journey they were about to com mence They were interesting types of villains--one, gentlemanly. suave. deep and resourceful: the other. coarse shallow. slow-witted and brutal. The offense of one against society was wholly intellectual; of the other, al- most wholly physical. Gardiner fully appreciated the difference, and In his heart he felt contempt and loathing toward Riles which he concealed only as matter of policy. And he had worked out in his mind little plan by which Riles when his usefulness was ended, should he shuffled or with out any share in the booty. At pres ent he tolerated him because of neces- sity. There was work before them for which Riles was peculiarly qualified.
 The Harrises went at once to liv- cry stable. where they arranged for team and outfit. They then bought some cartridges for the gun. and small handbag in which to carry the money.
 When Harris presented himself at the bank wicket and asked for the full amount to his credit In cash. the sal low-faced teller turned a trifle paler still and slipped into the manager'e office. A moment later the manager himself appeared before them.
 That's a pretty heavy order on a country bank Mir, Harris. Of course we could give il to you in exchange. but to pay twenty thousand dollars or whereabouts in bills will drain us to al- most our last dollar. Can't you use . marked check. or draft on Calgary bank?"

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Piano and packing boxes can be successfully converted into adequate backyard poultry houses. but many ing erected especially for the purpose, because 1t usually presents a better appearance in the back yard. For such, poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture suggest plans for poultry house of the shed or slope-roof type that will make small flock comfortable and be neat fin appearance.
 This building is by 8 feet square, and Is 6 feet high in front and feet high in the rear. The house may be made higher with little extra cost and would be more convenient to work in. The ventilator in the rear Is not need ed In the northern part of the country. The foof is covered with roofing Pa per. The sanR material may be used on the sides or if desired the cracks may be covered with wooden strips three inches wide. Such house is large enough for flock of 20 hens.
 Dry Floor Necessity.
 If the soil is well drained and re- mains dry no floor need be used in the house. Often a slight dampneSs can be corrected by filling up the floor several inches above the outside ground with sand. gravel, or dry dirt. Three or four inches of the surface of the floor should be removed and re- placed with fresh earth once or twice year. The run should be spaded up at least once year. If the ground is so wet or damp that this condition cannot be corrected by filling, it is best to provide a board floor. as this will help to keep the house dry, will allow easier cleaning, and will pro mote the general health and welfare of the hens. A house with board floor should be set on posts or blocks so that 1t Is : to P inches above the ground. When this space is left the floor will not rot so quickly and rats will not be so likely to take refuge under the house.
 The dropping boards and roosts should be placed against the back wall. Here they are out of the way and also are least likely to he reached by drafts. The dropping boards should be about 20 to 30 inches from the floor. depending on the height of the building, This gives space enough under them so that the hens have room to exercise and Is not too high for the heavier hens to fly up to. The roosts should be 3 or 4 inches above the dropping boards. If more than a single roost Is used. they should be on the same level; otherwise all the hens will try to crowd upon the high est roost.

RANGE STOCK IS IMPROVED
All Kinds of Sires, Bulls Especially, Are Receiving Close Scrutiny
 by Breeders.

Tn the Western range states all kinds of sires-bulls especially-are receiving scrutiny by live stock own CTS. There is increasing evidence that good purebred males have wide infiu- ence on the quality of young stock and on the returns from stock-raising operations.
 One day recently the United States Department of Agriculture enrolled In the Better Sires-Better Stock" movement several ranchmen, each of whom had more than 1000 head Of live stock. One flock of sheep con- tained 250 purebred ewes and 3,450 crossbred ewes, the sires being all purebred. A cattle raiser who enlist ed in the campaign the same day noti- fled the department: 'I have disposed of two grade Hereford bulls recently, having decided to run nothing but purebred sires." This remark is typical of the progress of the move ment in Montana.

whispered as they left the room. We can't be too careful to keep our busi- ness secret"
 As they stood for moment in the waiting room it occurred to Allan that some shooting might be found in the mountains. You haven't got gun you could lend me, l suppose?" he said to Gardiner
 What do you want a gun for?' Gardiner demanded brusquely.
 Might get shot at partridge. or somthing. No harm fin having one along, is there?''
 '.Oh. no but I don't expect you'll see anything to justify the trouble. Anyway, I haven't got one"
 There's shotgun here" said the hotel clerk, who had overheard the last remarks, If that would suit you. A Cholly who was taking short course in poker put it up a few days ago as q standoff on his eat score. : There's ten bones against it; if it's worth that to you, take it."

Plan of Simple Backyard Poultry House.

8, laid on edge and with the upper corners rounded off, makes good roost A pole, or even piece of board or 3 inches wide, may be used. If the roost is of light material and fairly long, it should be support ed in the center, as well as at the ends, to prevent it from sagging bad ly. An allowance of : to 10 inches of roost space per fowl, according to the size of the birds, should be made. If more than one roost Is used, they should be placed about 15 inches apart.
 Provide Simple Nests.
 Nests must be provided and may be very simple. Any box about l foot square and , or inches deep is suitable. An ordinary orange box with the partition in the middle serves very well, each box forming two nests. The top is removed, the box laid on it's side, and a strip 3 to inches wide nailed across the lower front. Nests can be fastened against the walls of the house. or set on the floor. It Is preferable to fasten them against the walls, as they take too much floor space If set on the floor. One nest should be provided for each four or five hens.

TO RESTORE MORGAN STRAIN
Efforts of Department of Agriculture Shown in Recent 300-MiIe Test
 for Horses.

Efforts of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture to restore the Morgan strain of horses, which had be- come nearly extinct, showed their ef- feet in the recent 300-mile test for army horses. Out of 27 entries, only ten finished, and of these the sixth and seventh were Morgan horses, one of them raised on the departments stock farm in Massachusetts. The horses were required to travel 60 miles day for five days, carrying the regulation cavalry load of 245 pounds.

Jeff belonged to a boys club which had been organized by the county agent. He was encouraged to raise . litter of fine pigs under the club sys- tenn by which the boys applied ap- proved methods and kept account of the results. The pigs sold for fancy price. Jeff, who had made sure prog ress. saved some money from his labor and in 1918 entered the Kentucky State College of Agriculture for it's short course.
 He had been used to seeing his moth- CT and other women carry water 15O yards up q hill for washing and cook ing At the agricultural college he realized the convenience and benefit to be gained by running water conduct ed to tap in the kitchen. When he returned home he persuaded his father to let him put in a water system. stand pipe 60 feet high was built with a 50O-gallon tank on top, which gave sufficient pressure to force water to the dwelling 400 feet away. He rigged up gasoline engine and pump at the spring under the hill. He had learned a little about plumbing, so he did all the pipe fitting in the house. One months work at odd times, coupled with little of the knowlege he had gained at the State College of Agricul- ture put the water right into the kitchen. Jeff has gone back to com plete his college education; and they're still raising better pigs at the Ander- son farm.

MARKETING APPLES

Information secured from ap- ple-market investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture indicate that rel atively low prices in large crop years in the beginning of the season make for quick move ment and rapid consumption, with the natural result of bet ter season averages that mar keting eff inferior grades along with good fruit in large crop years is not profitable that the effective operation of grade and package laws may be counted upon to aid in stabilizing ap- pie markets.

 Then followed long anxious days. Fortune seemed to hang on Bradshaws success in making an immediate sale of the farm. It was large order and yet Harris felt confident buyer

 The name at the end of the tele- gram was unknown to either Harris or his son. but Gardiner assured them 1t was one to eoniHre with ip the financial world.

 Officials of the state department de- clared no replies might be expected be- fore tomorrow or Tuesday. It was gen. orally accepted that the notes virtually denander that the two countries agree to an armistice
 No further orders for the use of naval forces to enforce compliance with the American demands were made public by the navy department. Two vessels yes terdsy received orders to make all speed regions off the Atlantic coast of Panama prepared to intervene if such action be- came necessary to protest American life and property. A large area in the zone of hostilities is dotted with banana planta- tions of the United Fruit company, an American concern.
 Although neither during the day rs- ceived adEices from their governments, diplomatic representatives of both ccun- tries gave out statements discussing the situation.
