just kiss such as boys and girls have
always had In the moonlight. It meant
the symbolic renunciation of the debt
that Dan owed Cranston-a debt that
In his mind might possibly go unpaid
which no weight Of circumstance could
make him renounce.
His longing for her lips pulled at
the roots of him. But by the laws Of
MS being he couldn't claim them until
the debt incurred on the hillside,
months ago, had been paid; to take
them now meant to dull the fine edge
OF his resolve to carry the issue
through to the end, to dim the star
that led him, to weaken him, by bend
ing now, for the test to come. He
didn't know why. 1t had its fount in
the deep wells of the spirit. Common.

Keeps strong the spirit by denying the

Kept to his conservation.
He did, however, kiss her hands,
and he kissed the tears out of her
eyes. Then he turned into the dark
ness and broke through the ring Of
the wolves.

Gro 9ed Cranston's trail. He didn't
doubt but that he would find Gran
stOn in his camp, If he found the camp
at all. The man had certainly re-
turned to it Immediately after setting
fire to the buildings, If for no other
reason than for food. 1t isn't well
to be abroad on the wintry mountains
without supply Of food; and Gran
stOn would certainly know this fact.
Dan didn't know when a rifle bullet
from some camp In the thickets would
put an abrupt end to his advance. The
brush grew high by the river, the ele4
walton was considerably lower, and
there might be one hundred camps out
Of the sight Of the casual wayfarer.
If Cranston should see him, mushing
across the mOonlit snow, 1t would give
him the most savage joy to open FIRE
upon him with his rifle.
2 Dams keen eyes searched the thick
cts, and particularly they watched the
sky line for a faint glare that might
mean camp fire. He tried to walk
silently. It wasn't an easy thing to
DO with awkward snowshoes; but the
river drowned the little noise that he
made. He tried to take advantage of
the shelter of the thickets and the
trees. Then, at the base of little
ridge, he came to a sudden halt.
He had estimated just right. Not
two hundred yards distant, camp
fire fiickered and glowed in the shell
ter Of great log He saw 1t, by the
most astounding good fortune, through
a little rift In the trees. Ten feet on
either side, and 1t was obscured.

TROUBLE WITH POOR SILAGE
Meldy Condition Not the Result Of
LealSy slIos, but Due to Lack
Of Moisture,

Many farmers have trouble with
moldy silage. Now, moldy silage is
usually not the result Of leaky silos,
although air leaks in the silO will
bring about mold. Practically all
silos that are put up nowadays are
air-tight; but moldy siIage is frequent,
~ found in air-tight silOs. Whenever
mold is found in silage one may be
almost certain that there was a lack
Of moisture when it was put in. When
the stalks are somewhat dry 1t is i'm
possible in packing and in settling
the silage to get rid Of all the air,
which must be forced out if mold is
to be prevented.

SCHOOL GIRL SHOWS ABILITY
Makes Good With Small Herd Of Gown
and Is Successful With Chick
ems and Hogs.

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agrtculture.)
Elizabeth Farley is a seventeen-year-
old club girl, a senior In the high
school at Amherst, Mass. About four
years ago, after experimenting with
the Al garden and poultry clubs Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture for several years, she de-
cided to purchase a COW. Her father
attempted to discourage her, saying
that she had no knowledge of milk
Ing and no place to house an animal.
Her father went away for a weekend
trip, however, and when he returned
he found that Elizabeth was the owner
Of registered Jersey COW which
she had learned to milk, and for
which she had rented a stall In a
neighbours barn. Profits from pre-
Vious poultry work supplied the funds
for this venture.
Elizabeth remained in club work
and because Of the demand for milk
purchased other registered cows and
calves. For two years the cattle had
to be staked out every day in a pas
ture 10 minutes walk from the house,
and as the pasture brook dried up
she had also to carry water to them.
One cow nearly died of sickness. I'm
til a year ago Elizabeth did all her
own work, including delivering the
milk.
Her next livestock venture was a
bred registered Chester-White SOW.
This SOW had a litter Of Is pigs, 10
of which lived, although the sow be-
came sick and died later. Then
Elizabeth purchased 200 day-old chicks.
AS they grew she sold the cockerels
and some of the pullets, reservlng
the others for winter laying. A year
ago she found that she needed pas

ture and hay land so she bought 70
acres Of land, for which the cows are
paying.
At the present time this high-school
girl has nine purebred Jersey cows and
four calves valued by specialists in the
Agricultural college at $1,000. She
hires two boys to help care for the herd
and milk the cows. She delivers 80
quarts Of milk daily in an old milk
wagon which she bought this summer
for IS and repaired herself. She
grows her own feed on her own land.
In addition to her dairy herd she
has large flock of chickens, num-
Der Of purebred pigs, and a horse.
Her entire Indebtedness is one note
for $500. Elizabeth is planning to
go to the Massachusetts, Agricultural
college as soon as she has finished
high school.

thing of reaction.
subsequently, attention shifted
to indications of improved export
demand together with expected
falling off in the movement from
rural sources. The close was firm,
&c to 2Ac net higher with Septem-
Der 1.22 to 1924 and December
LIS to 1854.
Reports that the German fodder
crop was seriously damaged by
drought led to more strength later.

Liberal receipts tended to keep
the corn market easy compared

sue S53, GEO. 900 capital stock to be

The application said that in view
of the smallness of the existing
capital stock of the company in
comparison with the value and i'm
portance of the company's proper
ty, and the fact that the company's
surplus far exceeds the amount Of
the proposed stock dividend, it is
believed that the proposed stock
increase is in every way proper"
"Fifty-three million dollars was
determined upon as the amount of
the increase, " the application said,
because it was decided that the
local authorized capital stock of
the company should be not less
than $125.000, 900 and the company's
investment of earnings in property
has been far in excess of the pro-
posed issue"

as a sad shock to his large circle
of friends in this vicinity. Only
