BANKS AID PUREBRED sIREs
Virginia Farmers Given Opportunity
to Improve Live Stock by
Local Bankers. 49,

The banks Of Charlottesville, Va,
are cooperating with farmers Of the
surrounding county in obtaining pure
bred sires. According to reports re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, IL a farmer will
sell his grade or scrub sires and pur-
chase pure-bred animals, the banks
supply the necessary funds to cover
the purchase Of the purebred sire over
the amount received for the inferior
animal. The loan is made on the basis
Of years time.
Sentiment among bankers regarding
the use of purebred live stock in
practical farming operations appears
to be growing more favorable, ana
the attitude Of the Charlottesville
banks is evidence ,of this point. Pure
bred sires of good quality, as shown
by information obtained by the bureau
Of animal industry, increase the earn
ing power Of herds and focks In which
they are used.

mer usually sticks to some well-tried
program whether conditions appear to
be favorable or otherwise. The great
majority of these successful men
recommend the keeping Of ut least
few sheep upon the farm.
They emphasize that sheep are
helpful in keeping the farm clean Of
weeds. They also consume much ma.
terial that would otherwise go to
waste. These farmers point out, too.
that these animals can be comfortably
kept in comparatively inexpensive
buildings. The two main requirements
in housing are protection from winds
and freedom from moisture.
These animals enable the farmer to
better distribute his labor because

CYLINDER OIL HELPS SWINE
Ames Specialists Declare It Is safe
for Hogs, Except Those With
Delicate Skin.

Old oil from automobile crank cases
can be used for oiling hogs. say the
animal husbandrymen at Iowa State
college. Although some people are
skeptical about using this sort Of oil,
the Ames men declare that 1t is safe,
except possibly In the case Of white
hogs, which have a delicate skin that
sometimes blisters through the use Of
the oil.
The oil should be allowed to stand
for while in order to allow the fine
particles of metal to settle out. The.
surface oil may then be poured of and
used In the hog oilers. The sediment
should be discarded.

quite distinct from the steady tremble
OF the engines and the thudding of the
pumps, came again. Alan, feeling
them, jerked up and stamped and beat
his arms to regain sensation. Some
one stumbled toward him from the
cabins now, short figure in great
coat. 1t was woman, he saw as she
hailed him-the cabin maid.

and as q car charged into that space

Il It was a fiat car laden with steel

CHAPTER XVI
"He Killed Your Father.

"He Killed Your Father" i.
Alan ran aft along the starboard
side, catching at the rail as the deck
tilted; the sounds within the hull and
the tremors following each sound
came to him more distinctly as he ad-
vanced. Taking the shortest way to
the car deck. he turned into the cabins
to reach the passengers companion
way. The noises from the car deck, no
longer muffled by the cabins, changed
and resounded in terrible tumult; with
the clang and rumble Of metal rose
shouts and roars of men.
To liberate and throw overheard
heavily loaded cars from an endan-
gered ship was SO desperate an under
taking and so certain to cost life that
men attempted 1t only in final extrelni-
ties, when the ship must be lightened
at any cost. Alan had never seen the
effect of such an attempt, but he had
heard Of 1t as the fear which sat al
ways on the hearts of the men who
navigate the ferries-the cars loose on
a rolling, lurching shipl He was going
to that now. The car deck was a pitch
ing, swaying slope; the cars nearest
him were still upon their tracks, but
they tilted and swayed uglily from side
to side; the. jacks were gone from un-
der them; the next cars already were
hurled from the rails, their wheels
screaming on the steel deck, changing
and thudding together In their
couplings.
Alan ran aft between them. All the
crew who could be called from deck and
engine room and freehold were strug-

"D-did the bridge go DOWN."

Before Nancy had time to answer,

right on top of the Twins at that.
But before it quite reached them,

ALWAYS NEW CHANCES.

Here is a gigantic new industry,
springing up faster even than the

Our great-grandfathers, when they
started shifting for themselves, had
very few lines to choose from.
Farming was the standby. Trades

Later the weaker or less ferocious

So the system expanded, until to-
day even a paralyzed blind man can
