"Yes," Dale agreed, "Td believe my

The mountaineer seemed more hon.
est than ever, but Dale was still on
his guard. He asked again:
whats your name, and where are
you from?"
This time the answer came readily:

Dale considered. There might be a
considerable vein of this new coal.
Even if he was sent to the state peni-
Tertiary for a term OF years, Hayes
was entirely capable of carrying on the
mining operations.

Turner's eyes lighted. "Shore!"
"Then lead the way" ordered Dale.
Walt Turner from Turner's Laurel,
Madison county, state of North Caro-
lima, crossed the little creek on stones
and went straight TO the northeast,
missing the Ball settlement by good
mile, and hard on his heels followed
the Moreland Coal company's stalwart
general manager.
The way was exceedingly rough.
The two men climbed rugged cliffs,
threaded dense thlckets of great laurel,
laurel, sheep laurel, and
bushes. They were one
hour in a stretch q woods where the
hemlocks, poplars and hickories stood
so thlckly that the interlacing branches
overhead shut out completely the light
of the sun and half the light of day.

said; and then he proved it by killing
RATHER that had eight rattles to its
tail.
But they travelled rapidly, notwith-
standing the fact that the going was
difficult; and two hours after the be-
ginning of the little journey Dale saw
before him small and almost circular,
Jevel-bottomed basin walled In by low
cliffs. A small creek ran through this
basin and made two easy ways Of en-
trance. In the hollow they saw clumps
of laurel and huckleberry bushes, and
wild grasses knee-high; toward the
center stood solitary big and gnaried
black walnut tree.
They entered at the point at which
the creek ran In, and went to the wal
nut tree. There Turner halted and
faced Bill Dale with a peculiar CLINT
In his eyes. Dale was looking ut the
rugged walls Of stone, and at the
thick green forest that rose above
them; he was marveling, as only a
true lover of beauty can marvel, at
the wonderful grandeur OF 1t all.

Some years ago, The Shield
traced a bushel Of wheat grown on
an Iowa farm and sold in Des
Moines, back to the man who
raised it after it had been made
into -four. The wheat was sold to
local buyer who shipped it TO
Chicago and shipped it to a COM
mission firm; it was then sold to %
wholesaler who sold it to the miller
in Minneapolis; they made it into
-four and sold the -four to whole
sale dealers who sold it to grocer
in Des MONIES. When the farmer
bought his own wheat back in the
shape Of -four, he had paid com
missions to twelve middlemen,
profits to half dozen people who
had bought and sold it, and trans
portation to several railroads.

The Beyond

1t seemeth such little way to me
Across to strange countryside
Beyond;
And yet not strange, for it has
grown to be
The home of those of whom / am
so fond;
They make it seem familiar and
most dear,
AS journeying friends bring dis
tant regions near.
So close it lies that when my sight
is clear
think ! almost see the cleaning
strand;
| know feel those who have gone
from here
Comelnear enough sometimes to
touch my hand.
| often think, but for our yelled
eyes,
We should find heaven right
round about us lies.
| cannot make it seem day to
dread,
When from this dear earth
shall journey out
To that still dearer country of
the dead,
And join the lost ones so long
dreamed about;
/ love this world, yet / shall love
And meet the friends that wait
for me know.
| never stand above a bier and see
The seal of death set on some
well-loved face,
But what l think, Gone more to
WSlCOuc HE
When | shall cross the interven-
ing space.
Between this land and that one
over there
Once more to make the strange
Beyond seem fair"
And SO for me there is no sting to
death,
And so the grave has lost its
victory;
1t is but crossing with a bated
breath
And white, set facea little strip
of sea,
To find the loved ones waiting on
the shore,
More beautiful, more precious than
before.-Ex

Tests Show Buttermilk
to Be Excellent Feed

Buttermilk is a good feed for the
hogs ration according to G. V. Glat-
felter of the Iowa Agriculture Ex-
pertinent Station. Many inquiries
have come to the station regarding
it's use and several interesting ex-
periments have resulted.
In an average of four trials in
which buttermilk was fed in limited
quantity, from 2 to ~ pounds per
head daily, to young growing and
fattening shoats, it was found that a
hundred pounds of buttermilk re-
placed 6 pounds of corn and 6
pounds of meat meal tankage.
The test was conducted in this
fashion, one group of pigs was self
fed on corn and tankage free-choice
style; another similar group was fed
exactly the same ration with the ex-
ception that it was given some but
termilk daily. Pricing the corn at
rs cents a bushel or $27.l4 a ton,
the corn replaced was worth : cents
and the tankage, at $500 per ton,
replaced was worth 284 cents max
ing the total replacement value 36a
cents; hence 100 pounds of butter
milk in these experiments was worth
362 cents per hundred pounds.
1t will be seen from this that as
corn and tankage increase in price,
the buttermilk becomes more valu-
able while on the other hand, if corn
and tankage go down, it decrease in
value. The greatest value of but
termik comes with limited feeding,
for when fed in large amounts is it
worth less per hundred. In a test
when the growing pigs were given
all the skinned milk the pigs could
possibly take, which amounted to a
little more than 80 pounds daily, the
corn replacement value qof 100
pounds of skinned milk was worth
Is cents.
Pigs relish buttermilk. Feeding
it results in more rapid gains. thas
proved to be our best protein sup
plement for pigs, being an adequate
and high qualified protein; and does
wonders when included in the ration.
A room under the corncrib of
Herman Hagadorn in which were
two still, 200 pounds of mash and
400 pounds of raisins was located
by Sheriff Wilson and several federal
officers. A tunnel entered through
trap door in the cement floor of
the corncrib. The stills were Of
fifteen and twenty-five gallon ca
pacity. Hagadorn's farm is within
half a mile of Manning. The stills
we're seized by the officers and four
barrels Of raisin mash were de-
stroyed.
