ENGLISH OAK MOST DURABLE
Specimens of 1t Have Been Known tc Survive in Good Preservation for
 Centuries.

The durability of English oak is the greatest of any known forest timber discoveries having been made that ii is preserved almost as well under water through centuries as it is when shielded by roofs in ancient castles.
 Professor Burnett of London pos sessed a piece of English oak from King Johns palace at Eltham, per fectly sound and strong, which can be traced back for more than five hun dred years. The oaken shrine of Ed ward the Confessor is more than eight hundred years old. One of the oaken coronation chairs in Westminster ab- bey has been there for more than five centuries.
 In Gloucester cathedral there are thirty-one stalls of rich tabernacle work executed in oak in the reign of Edward III, and beautifully perfect When the foundations of the old Savoy palace in London, built 700 years previously, were torn down, the piles many of which were of oak, were found in a state t4>perfect soundness A vessel, found in t4o, river Rother, in Kent, said to date back to the time of King Alfred, was found to be sound despite the fact that it's oaken keel had been buried in the mud.

 The Buffalo Gap man leaned for ward, drawing in his paunch so as to view the speaker around Mccarthy. The words of condemnation evidently cut. for his face was flushed, although he held his temper.
 "That's what Mac here said at first, but now he believes 1t will work, and so do l." he explained gravely. "It isn't at all likely the girl will object to getting married, provided she hooks up with a man she sort of likes. The only problem is to discover the right fellow"

INSPECT STOCK FOR DISEASE
Federal Specialists at Various Markets Examine Many Head of Cattle,
 Sheep and Hogs.

In the course of supervising the in terstate transportation of live stock to prevent the spread of animal diseases United States Department of Agricul- ture specialists at market centers dur ing the last fiscal year inspected 22,- O63, ,290 cattle, of which 24,62S were dipped under the departments super vision, so they might continue in in terstate commerce. Sheep to the num- Der of 23,472, ,52S also were inspected for communicable diseases, and of these 2,744, ,481 were dipped to comply with the regulation of the department or of the states of destination. Swine inspected numbered 39,754,97O and 574,558 of these were vaccinated against hog cholera for distribution as feeding or breeding animals.
 Upon request of transportation com panies and shippers or to comply with laws of states to which shipments were destined, department veterinar- ians inspected 36,393 horses and mules, of which 23,742 were tested with mal- lein, showing reactions.

DOGS AND CHURCH WINDOWS
Both in Ancient and Modern Times Animals Representation Has
 Been Crowned Upon.

The stained-glass representation oi the "Pedlar and his Dog," to which attention has been directed by the dis covery of a boundary stone of "Ped lars Acre." on the site of the new county hall, was removed, owing to the alleged incongruity of introducing the figure of a dog in a church window says the Westminster Gazette.
 Quite recently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a faculty a stained glass window in a Westmoreland church because the design included a dog; and perhaps the only existing ex- ample of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow's private chapel at Ash bridge.
 In this church one stained-glass window depicts Tobias and Sara in bed and a dog sleeping on the quilt, while in another window Job is shown being mocked by three men, one of whom Is holding a dog by chain.

Urge Soldiers to Get Medals.

Denver@"If you were in the army and didn't get your Victory medal you can get it by producing your discharge papers," That was the announcement made by Lieut.. Col. R. J. Reaney, com mandant at Fort Logan, who has been named the officer in charge of the dis tribution for Colorado and Wyoming "There are from 6O,OO0 to 10000 men in Colonodo and Wyoming who are en- titled to medals, and about 10000 have obtained them," said Colonel Reaney- "There is absolutely no cost for the medals. Outside of Denver a man may go to the adjutant of the local Amer ican Legion post for his medal, or to any army officer at any school If there is no such person he can write direct to me at Fort Logan"
 Morton David, adjutant of the Amer ican Legion in Colorado. is planning to have all the members of the Legion turn out in their respective towns in uniform on Decoration day, and he Is urging that all wear their Victory medals.

 "Now, you bucks" he roared out tersely, 'line up along them willows. I'll go first with the daughter as chief mourners, an then the females will | fall in behind.

 Shelby dropped into place behind the stage agent, who recognized the newcomer with a hard handgrip and grin of welcome.

 ''No; I just dropped around fer to pass away the time. Some spouter that fat preacher"

 The stage agent nodded.
 Yep; not so darned much to look at, either. I don't reckon I've seen her afore fer a year."
 Shelby could not have described what there was about the girl to in- terest him even slightly. AS Mike said, there was not much to look at and what there was had been rendered particularly hideous by the ill-fitting black dress in which she was dressed. She walked we'll, and she held her head straight up, bit defantly, look ing neither to right nor left as Mo Carthy led her forward by a grasp on one arm. The corners of her mouth dropped a trifie and her hair was drawn straight back and bound in a wisp. Altogether she made a rather pathetic picture, and this some how impressed Shelby. He watched her stop at the head of the opened casket and look down at the face of the dead man. There was no sign of a tear. no semblance of a sob, and

G0 V E STOCK |
FEEDING AND CARE OF HOGS Pedigree Alone Is Not Sufficient to Make a Satisfactory Animal
 Management Counts.

Two men attended a sale of pure breds and one of them bought the top gilt for more than $500. She was sold a year later for a little more than half of that amount. The oth- CT paid $1OO for gilt for which he refused $500 year later. The first gilt was worth the original price, but lack of development made the second price fair one. The second gilt sold high enough, in the judgment of the sale crowd; proper development dur ing the second year of her life more than trebled her value. Any advsn- tage in pedigree was in favor of the first gilt. One scored a loss and dis appointment, the other a profit and enthusiasm. The difference repre- scented the difference in feed.
 There are many other instances that might be cited to show that pedigree alone is not sufficient to make good hog. It also takes feed, and the kind of feed may make the difference be- tween profit and loss. One would not expect to feed hogs at a profit on an exclusive diet of fishmeal costing S1OO per ton, or of corn at $65, nor in dry lot with just enough of either or both to maintain life without gain, nor on pasture alone, which consti- tutes simply a maintenance ration. It is the combination of these factors excepting the dry lot-which makes for profit. We do not advocate the use of the dry lot for anything. It is dusty or muddy abomination, and an incubator of disease germs. It is even worse than a pine woods or brooms- edge pasture" Green fields and live stock and nicely painted, convenient buildings have an affinity for each other.
 The manufacturer is justified in putting all of his eggs in one bas- ket and then watching that basket" but in the case of the farmer there is no such justification. The "Buy-a- bale" cotton period failed to catch the farmer who practiced diversification the present and prospective slump in hog prices will not affect the man

which broke into groups, waiting si- lently for the ceremonies to be con- cluded and the body lowered into the grave before vending their way back to the delights of Ponca. The ranch man fingered with the others while the preacher solemnly consigned the body to dust, but when he saw the Quartette climbing back into the wag- on for a final song, he promptly joined a number who were attempting to escape. Shelby paused and glanced back; the distance was too great to distinguish faces, yet there was no mistaking the pathetic figure of the girl standing in loneliness beside the still open grave. She had not particu- larly appealed to him before, but now his heart made vague response to her loneliness.
 It was doubtless this lingering mem ory which kept him away from Me Carthy's saloon during the next hour. He had lost his earlier inclination for a wild carouse in town, or any desire to renew old acquaintances at the bar. He was almost persuaded to load up in the morning, if he could find the hand he needed and drive back to Cot tonwood. There was nothing in 1t, this getting drunk on vile whisky and blowing in all he had saved at faro. HI, mol He needed every dollar to make the ranch pay and could not afford to be a d-n fool forever. Here is where he would quit. No doubt, he was honest enough in these intentions, yet the mood passed away so com pletely that before night he was again with the gang and had slowed away sufficient liquid refreshments to com pletely overcome any lingering recol- lection of any higher purpose. In this happy condition he finally wended his way across the street to the shelter of the hotel.

Caves AIways of Interest.

Farmers Favor Cooperative Market

Chicago. o.-Representative of the farmers in convention here voted unanimously to accept the report Of the committee of seventeen which pro- vided for formation of cooperative agency to market the nations grain-
 The report was adopted after a two day fight in which delegates sought to have it amended so that pooling ot grain by the farmers would be com7 pulsory instead of optional, as provid ed in the report. An amendment to that effect was defeated, 61 to s. An other amendment offered by Carl Wil- Hams of Oklahoma that the pooling bS made compulsory in states where wheat is the predominant grain also was defeated, and the convention then unanimously adopted the committee report.
 Under the plan a non-profit stock corporation will be formed through which the grain will be handled from the time it is raised until 1t reaches the manufacturer or consumer.
 Each member of the corporation will pay fee of $1O for expenses.

then she moved on with no change perceptible in her face, outwardly un- moved. To all appearances her only desire was to have the affair ended and be left alone.
 Shelby passed and stared down at the face in the casket, that of a man of sixty, possibly, yet exhibiting even in death the marks of a hard life which had unduly aged him. It was rather an intelligent face, framed in white beard, with the fragment of a scar showing on one cheek. There was something about the face strange ly familiar, yet he could not recall the man to memory-some way the sight of him had turned his mind back to army days, yet the two would not connect themselves definitely. As he thrust his contribution into the box, Mccarthy gripped him cordially.
 "Well, bless me, if here ain't Tom Shelby, lookin' like a white man, and blowin' his money like a good sport. How's things on the Cottonwood? ? No, yer don't, Ramsayl You tried that game on me once before. I'm keepin' cases here"
 There was a moments delay, while Ramsay reluctantly dug down into his jeans for an amount satisfactory to the party in charge, and Shelby, still struggling with his elusive memory, bent over and asked hoarsely:
 Say, Mac, who was this guy, any wayT"
 "Old Dad, you mean? Furst I knel; of the fellow was about three years ago, blacksmithin' down at Kelly's camp. When that moved on he come up here, an has been hangin' round ever since. Want such bad sort, 'cept when in liquor; smart oP Cevil, too; read everything he could get hold of.''
