Chain invited those inclined toward
those pastimes to follow suit or pay
the penalty. Since early In January
the cleaning-up process has gone on,
and when recently he personally
brought in two or three stills, a lot
Of other illegal paraphernalia, and an
automobile load Of "evidence," he de-
clared that it had been q "slow"

Chain is regarded as a modern
Robin Hood throughout southern West
Virginia, and there are as many tales,
some Of them almost legendary, at
tached to his name as to the doughty
monarch Of Sherwood forest. The
sheriff's domain, however, Is Logan
county, and among the mountains in
stead of forest. OF typical noun
taineer type, he is credited with be-
ing absolutely fearless and handy with
a pistol whenever occasion demands
although 1t Is told throughout that
section Of the state that he wears q
coat of flexible chain mail next to his
body at all times.
A great deal Of romance is attached
to the sheriff's Office by the mountain
eers, and the incumbent is held in
variably In the highest regard be-
cause Of the many times that he Is
called upon TO face danger PERSONAL

For later crops heavy soils can be en-
ployed, and muck soils are widely used
for the midsummer and fall crops.
Land that is in good physical condi-
tion as the result of early and proper
handling, well supplied with available
plant food and rich in organic matter,
is essential to best results. Appli-
cations of stable manure at the rate
of 20 to 80 tons per acre are advis-
able, and this may proftably be sup
plemented by the use OF commercial
fertilizer containing at least 2 per
cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 4 per cent potash.
The seed is sown in rows at least
80 inches, apart If horse cultivation is
practiced, but under hand cultivation
they need not be more than Is to Is
inches. Ordinarily about 6 pounds
Of beet seed per acre is required. Seed
is ordinarily covered to a depth Of
X to / inch. As beet seed is rather
slow in termination, the practice Of
sowing some quick-sprouting seed

These plants serve as markers for the
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may be begun before the
beets show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose.
Beet seeds come In clusters, and 1t
is inevitable that thinning by hand
win be required.
Roots intended for winter storage
are allowed to stand in the field until
just before heavy autumn frosts oc-
cur, when they are pulled and stored
In pits or cellars, requiring much the
same treatment as potatoes and SIM
liar root crops.
From 20 to 35 pounds of sliced or
pulped roots, with proper grain ra-
tion and dry foliage, Is days ration
for an ordinary dairy COW. Thus II
will be seen that 2ik tons will carry
cows through the usual five-months'
winter feeding period. An acre or two
Of beets, carrots and turnips should be
enough to supply any herd which ls

sugar-beet industry many implements
and methods of culture have been de.
vised which reduce the labor required

teets. carrots, and turnips are the prln-
cipa. roots grown for this purpose.
They are particularly adapted to the
cooler and more moist portions of the
country. The principal drawback to
their use is the labor of growing, har-
vesting and storing them. On the
other hand, say specialists of the UNI
ted States Department of Agriculture,
-rOot crops have a distinct advantage
for small dalries, as it is generally ac-
cepted that a silo will not prove eco
nomical where less than six animals
are being fed. Roots may be stored
in proper cellar, or buried in the
ground, and can be taken out in any
desired quantity without injury to the
remainder.
A surprising amount Of roots can
be produced on a small acreage. A
yield Of IS tons per acre Of mangel-
wurzels is nothing unusual, while In
England, where roots are used almost
entirely to supply succulent food, the
yield per acre is increased still further
By intensive farming.
Other kinds Of beets, and also tur-
nips and carrots, may be used. Tuf-
nips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
give bad flavor to the product. Yel-
low carrots impart a desirable color
to the milk. For feeding purposes the
inangels win probably be found the
most practical beet. Among carrots,
the Long Orange is recommended be-
cause Of its large size and heavy yield.
1t forms long, thick root, and is very
easily grown. The White Vosges or
Belgian is grown exclusively for stock,
and is an even heavier yielder. The
rutabaga Is recommended as a good
turnip. The same soils and methods
of cultivating are adapted to all three
kinds of roots.
The soil should be well enriched, and
should be one that warns up quickly
In the spring. Most growers regard
sandy loan as best adapted to, the cul-
ture of root crops, this being partic-
ularly true Of the early spring crop.

II tell you, Dave. that fellow, Ralph
Tilden, isn't worthy Of your sister,"
said Mart Woods.
"All you've got to do Is to convince
me Of the fact replied Dave Briefly,
brother Of Rose Briefly, the prettiest
girl In Brampton.

"Very well, I'll have some news for

''I'll show the rascal up in his true

Rose had never given the least en-
couragement to Mart's advances. In
fact, she had never known what love
meant until Ralph Tilden had come
into her life.
The latter was a manly young fel-
low, whom every girl might be proud
to attract. He had been recently ad-
mitted to the bar; his first case in
court had been the defense Of poor
woman whose suit other lawyers had
declined because she could not pay
a fee. Ralph had won the case, its
details got into the public prints, and
he had earned golden opinions as to
his professional ability and his phil
anthropic unselfshness.
All unconscious Of the deft plots
being woven to disturb their happi-
ness, Rose and Ralph passed some
pleasant hours. Mart came to Dave

At length Dave agreed to the propo-

The answer is slmple-the kitten
doesn't know the tail belongs to him.
When a cat is young, according to
the A. S., there is little feeling" in
its tail. Unless the tail Is stepped on
or plnched the kitten feels no sensa-
tion. Therefore, when he sees that
strange thing wagglng he just nntur-
