Tells HOW POULT TRY
|. SHOULD Be CHOSEN
One Can Have EGG Producers
or Meat Chickens by
Careful Choice.

IL you want eggs, and very little
meat, start with Leghorns, Anco-
mas or Minorcas. Where you want
meat and eggs. start with Rocks.
Reds or Wyandottes.
If you, want principally meat.
start with Brahmas, Langshans or
Cochins. Where you have one OF
these breeds already and 1t suits
your purpose select the most Wig
orous hens, preferably one or two
years old, for breeders: Next, Sc
cure a cockerel not rtlated to these
hens and mate them.
One cockerel to. eighteen hens for
LeghornSs one cockerel to twelve
hens for the Rocks, Reds or Wyan-
dottes, and one cockerel to ten hens
for the heavy breeds. In selecting
a cockerel get one that siss 10e per
cent vigorous.
If you want, lots OF eggs, get .
cockerel from a dam with high
trap nest record.
A dozen hens and q rooster can
be bought Tor $25 to- $50. You can
start with four, hens and sixty
Matching eggs at a. cost of $50 to
$40, but YOU will not have many
eggs to eat till the pullets start
laying in the fall. - - l. -
You can buy 100 Jone-day-old
chicks at $25 to $50 and raise forty
pullets that will cost you at laying
age about $50. You can start In
any one. of these ways at half the
cost by buying poor stock, but they
will cost you ten times as much In
the end.
A dozen good hens, well cared
for, will egive q family Of five an
egg each every day in the year.
Twenty-Five hens, with half Of them
used as breeders, will furnish the
family with three dozen eggs a
week, a chicken every Sunday and
enough loft over TO buy Christmas
presents.

good feed store and buy ready
mixed better chick foods than We
could make, no matter how hard
we tried. Certain progressive man
ufactnrers Of poultry feeds have
gone to great lengths to prepare
complete foods for baby chicks and
put them up IN most suitable con-
dition to feed the babies, ratiOns
which may be used with all conf
dence because they are doing the
work mighty well. Practically all
these commercial feeds are guar
anteed to give satisfaction. Thus

Not only do these ready-mixed
feeds relieve the poultryman Of 9
great deal Of bother. but they can
DO purchased at decidedly reason
able price az valued by results. A
properly balanced, easily digested
ration saves and raises many chicks
which would otherwise die and It
improves the quality of all the
chicks grown. As chicks eat so
little during the critical first three
to SIX weeks the matter Of price
per pound really does not amount
to much. Al few extra chicks saved
more than makes up the difference
between the cost Of good rations
and poor ones.
II for any reason one desires to
prepare his own chick rations he
may safely use the following mix
lures, which are recommended by
the international Baby Chick AS
sociation.
Scratch Feed for Chicks
Mix ten pounds each Of fine
cracked corn, cracked wheat. pin

AN UNKNOWN VOICE

NOPSIS.-Arriving at the lone
ly little railroad station at Ell Ca
jon, New Mexico, Madeline Ham
mond, New York society girl, finds
no one to meet her. While In the
waiting room, drunken cowboy
enters, asks II she is married, and
departs, leaving her terrified. He
returns with a priest, who goes
through some sort of ceremony,
and the cowboy forces her to say
Isl" Asking her name and learn
ing her identity the cowboy seems
dazed. In a shooting scrape out
side the room a Mexican is killed.
The cowboys let's a girl, Bonita,
take his horse and escape, then
conducts Madeline to Florence
Kingsley. friend of her brother
Florence welcomes her, learns her
story. and dismisses the cowboy,
Gene Stewart. Next day Alfred
Hammond, Madelines brother,
takes Stewart to task. Madeline
exonerates him of any wrong in
tent. Alfred. scion of a wealthy
family, had been dismissed from
his home because of his dissipation.
Madeline sees that the West has
redeemed him. She meets Stillwell,
AIS employer, typical western
ranchman. Stillwell tells her how
Stewart beat up the sheriff to save
her from arrest and then lit out
for the border. Danny Mains, one
OF Stillwell's cowboys, has disap-
peared, with some of Stillwell's
money. His friends link his name
with the girl Bonita. Madeline gets
glimpse of life on a western
ranch. Stewart sends Madeline his
horse Majesty. She buys out Still
we'll and Her Majesty's Rancho"
becomes famous. She finds her life
work under THE Light of Western
Stars" Learning Stewart had
been hurt in a brawl at Chiricahua,
Madeline visits him and persuades
him to come to the ranch as the
boss of her cowboys. Jim Nels,
Nick Steele and Monty" Price are
Madeline's chief riders They have
a feud with Don Carlos vaqueros,
who are really gllerrillas. Made
line makes Stewart promise that
peace is kept They raid Don Car
los ranch for contraband arms,
Madeline and Florence, returning
home from Alfred's ranch, run into
an ambush of vaqueros. Florence
decoys them away, and Madeline
gets home safely.

him. Madeline tried to smile to assure
him she was alive and WE'LL but the
intent in his eyes, the power Of his con-
trolled spirit telling her of her peril
and his, froze the smile on her lips.
With that he faced the chief and
spoke rapidly in the Mexican jargon
Madeline had always found so difficult
to translate. The chief answered,
spreading wide his hands, one of which
indicated Madeline as she lay there.
Stewart drew the fellow q little aside
and said something for his ear alone.
The chiefs hands swept up in a ges-
ture of surprise and acquiescence.
Again Stewart spoke swiftly. His
hearer then turned to address the band.
Madeline caught the words don
Carlos" and "pesos" There was
brief muttering protest which the chief
Numbered down. Madeline guessed
her release had been given by this
guerrilla and bought from the others
OF the band.
Stewart strobe to her side, leading
the roam. Majesty reared and snorted
when he saw his mistress PROSTATE.
Stewart knelt, still holding the Bride.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
Il think So" she replied, essaying
laugh that was rather a failure. my
feet are tied"
Dark blood blotted out all the white
from his face, and lightning shot from
his eyes. She felt his hands, like steel
tongs, loosening the bonds round her
ankles. Without word he lifted her
upright and then upon Majesty. Made
line reeled little in the saddle, held
hN to the pommel with one hand. and
tried to lean ON Stewards shoulder
with the other.
Don't give up" he said.
She saw him gaze furtively into the
forest on all sides. And 1t surprised
her to see the guerrillas riding away.
Putting the two facts together, Made
line formed an idea that neither Stew
art nor the others desired to meet with
some one evidently due shortly In the

arm from one of the guerrillas caused
the whole band to wheel and concen-
trate their attention in the opposite
direction. They hearo something. They
saw some one. Grimy hands sought
weapons, and then every man stiffened.
Madeline saw what hunted men looked
like at the moment of discovery, and
the sight was terrible. She closed her
eyes, sick with what she saw, fearful
Of the moment when the guns would
leap out.
There were muttered curses, short
period Of silence followed by whisper
ings, and then clear voice rang out,
"El Capitan"
A strong shock vibrated through
Madeline, and her eyelids swept open.
Instantly she associated the name Ell
Captain with Stewart and experienced
sensation Of strange regret 1t was
not pursuit or rescue she thought of
then, but death. These men would kill
Stewart. But surely he had not come
alone. She heard the slow, heavy
thump of hoofs. Soon into the wide
aisle between the trees moved the form
of man, arms flung high over his
head. Then Madeline saw the horse,
and she recognized Majesty, and she
knew it was really Stewart who rode
the roam. When doubt was no longer
possible she felt a suffocating sense Of
gladness and fear and wonder.
Many of the guerrillas leaped up
with drawn weapons. Still Stewart
approached with his hands high, and
he rode right into the campfire circle.
Then a guerrilla, evidently the chief,
waved down the threatening men and
strobe up to Stewart. He greeted him.
There was amaze and pleasure and
respect in the greeting. Madeline could
tell that, though she did not know
what was said. At the moment Stew
art appeared to her as cool and care
less as If he were dismounting at her
porch steps. But when he got down
she saw that his face was white. He
shook hands with the guerrilla, and
then his glittering eyes roved over the
men and around the glade until they
rested upon Madeline. Without NOV
ing from his tracks he seemed to leap,
as If powerful current had shocked
