a number of years, but 1t was not DOS
 sible to introduce it extensively be
 cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
 zion where it was most valuable 1t has
 not been feasible to raise purple vetch
 in large quantities because of climatic
 conditions. In the North, on the
 other hand, the seed can be grown sue
 cessfully, but there the purple vetch
 is not in as great favor for forage as common vetch, which is hardier and has become established in popularity.
 To make bridge between the two geographically distant localities has been the work of a number of years on the part of the department experts. It was first necessary to demonstrate the value of purple vetch in the South, and afterwards to induce north ern farmers to substitute it to some extent for their customary crops. This latter was dif1iculs because purple vetch was not quoted in the market, and also because, where sale was ef- fected, farmers were tempted to sell their entire stock, reserving no seed to maintain or extend the acreage.
 The assistance of large California fruit growers association was enlisted, and last year 500 acres were grown under guarantee. a large portion of he yield being kept for seed. This year northwestern California and Ore yon farmers will receive 1415 cents a pound for purple vetch seed, which should give them from $50 to S2OO | Der acre in addition to the straw.

CHAPTER [.

The Lennox home, in the wilderness
 Of the Umpqua Divide, looked rather
 like an emergency hospital for the first
 few days after Dams fight with WhiS-
 perfoot- Its old sounds of laughter
 and talk were almost entirely lacking.
 Two injured men and girl recovering
 from a nervous collapse do not tend
 toward cheer. -"s>satl .selses 't4-<s1 u -<.
 But the natural sturdiness of all
 three quickly came to their aid. Of
 course Lennox had been severely in
 jured by the falling log, and many
 weeks would pass before he would be
 able to walk again. He could sit up for short periods, however; had the partial use of one arm and could pro- pei himself--after the first few weeks at a snailAs pace through the rooms in a rude wheel chair that Bills fnge- nuity had s-ontrived. The great livfd scratches that Dan bore on his body quickly began to heal; and before a week was done he began to venture forth on the hills again. Snowbird had remained in bed for three days; then she had hopped out one bright afternoon, swearing never to go back into 1t again. Evidently the crisp, fall air of the mountains had been a nerve tonic for them all.
 Of course there had been medical attention. dOct 0r and nurse had motored up. the day after the accident; the physician had set the bones and departed, and the nurse remained for a week, to see the grizzled mountain eer well on the way of convalescence. But it was an anxious wait, and Len nox's car was kept constantly in readi- ness to speed her away in case the snOws should start. At last she had left him in Snowbird's hands. and Bill had driven her back to the settlements in his fathers car. The die was now cast as to whether or not Dan and the remainder of the family should winter in the mountain. The snow clouds deepened every day. the frost was ever heavier in the dawns. and the road would surely remain open only a few days more.
 Once more the three seemingly had the Divide all to themselves Bert Crnnston had evidently deserted his cabin and was working a trap-line on the Umpqua side.

 Nothing had been heard of Landy | who used to live on the | -raiI to the marsh, and both Lennox md his daughter wondered why. There were also certain officials who had begun to be curious. As yet Dan had told no one of the grim find he lad made on his return from hunting. And he would have found 1t an ey- remedy difficult fact to explain.

BUILDS WEEVIL-PROOF CRIB
Southern Farmer Demonstrates How Log Building Can Be Made Secure
 Against Insects.

The county agent of Taylor county, Fla, reports that one farmer in his community has worked out a way by which a log corn crib can be made practically air-tfght to guard the corn against weevi1S. This farmer put three or four inches of dirt on the
 floor and covered it with another floor. The walls were covered with rough lumber, and the cracks outside were filled with clay The door facings were padded with cloth and the door made of two layers of cypress lumber. with a piece of paper roofing between. This arrangement cost about $10, in addition to the farmers labor Others in this neighborhood are building cribs in the same way.

springs of motive that few men can see clearly enough within themselves to recognize. Even the first day, when he lay burning from his wounds, he
 worked out his own explanation in re-
 gard to the murder mystery. He
 hadn't the slightest doubt but that
 Cranston had killed Hildreth to pre-
 vent his testimony from reaching the
 courts below. Of course, any other
 member of the arson ring of hillmen
 might have been the murderer; yet
 Dan was inclined to believe that Gran
 ston, the leader of the gang, usually
 preferred to do such dangerous work as this himself. If it were true, some where on that tree-clad ridge clues would be left. Moreover, 1t was wholly possible that the written testimony Hildreth, must have gathered had pev- CT been found or destroyed. Dan didn't want the aid of the courts to find these clues: He wanted to work out the case himself. It resolved it. self into simple matter of vengeance: Dan had his debt to pay, and he want ed to bring Cranston to ruin by his own hand alone.
 While it was true that he took ra- ther more than the casual interest that most citizens feel in the destruc- tion of the forest by wanton fire, and | had an actual sense of duty to do all | that he could to stop the activities of | the arson ring, his motives, strfpPe} | and bare, were really not utilitarian. | He had no particular interest in Hill 1reth's case.

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
 Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela- tive merits of drawn and undrawn poultry. Practice varies in different communities. Opening the body un- doubtedly exposes the internal surface to the air which always contains mi cro-organisms, and thus may hasten decomposition but it should be re membered also that the viscera decom- pose more rapidly than other parts of the body, and if left they may taint or infect the rest of the bird.
 In elaborate experiments with drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn poultry, conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, it was found that undrawn birds spoil least quickly, and partly drawn ones less quickly than the fully drawn ones from which, not only the viscera, but also the heads and feet, have been re- moved.

GROW PURPLE VETCH
 FOR VALUABLE SEED
Advantages of Crop Have Been
 Known for Years.
1t Is Not as Popular in Northern States as Common Variety, Which Is Harder and Has Become
 Established as Forage.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Due largely to the intermediary eff forts of the United States Department of Agriculture, 2,4O0 acres of purple vetch Is reported as being grown this year for seed in northwestern Califor- mia for use in the orchards of the southern part of the state, where it has proven a superior green-manure crop. The superiority of purple vetch in California for green manure lies fn the fact that it makes more growth during the winter months and can be turned under earlier than other legu1ue crops.
 Purple vetch was first brought to this country from Italy in 1899 and its advantages have been appreciated for
