Common Sense in Poultry
Keeping.

Success with the farm flock de
pends under usual conditions, OF
the observance of the fundamentals
underlying successful poultry keep
ing, and this means doing rel
atively few things in the right way
and doing them at the right time.
The part which poultry should play
is TO fit into the general farm man
agements in such way as to hell
maintain a proper balance i'm farm
operations and to utilize materials
which are suitable for feeding tn
hens, but otherwise would b
wasted,
The first fundamental of success.
ful poultry keep is good stock OF
,urse it is we'll known that farmers
and club members may at times
get fairly good results from ordinary
stock, but at the same time time
hust be remembered that with the
me care and attention better re
snts will be obtained from good
stock. By good stock is not nee
essariy me- mt stock which has
been bred for exhibition purposes
it means standard bred stock o.
pure bred stock, which by virtue c.
its pure breeding has been syst, M.
aticaliy developed and which is
better fitted, to give result expected
of it and to yield a mote uniform
and more desirable prod ct.
On the average farm tn poultr,
flock is expected to furnisl eggs ano
poultry for the farmers table a.
well as to produce a urplus fol
sale. For that reason it is usual,
found that the so-called general
purpose breeds such as the Ply
mouth ,ock, Wyandotte Rhode
Island Il d and OrpingtoI which
are good ayers and at the same
time ma e suitable carcasses 70,
the table and are best suited to
the farm needs. A further advan.
tage of g pod stock is the fact that
he owner will take pride in such q
flock which she will not feel in q
flock OF mongrels. As a result she
all give the hens better care.
1t is alsov cry essential to have
a suitable house for the flock, this
does not mean expensive houses.
Frequently old sheds or other 6uD
buildings can be easily and cheaply
transformed into suitable poultry
houses. The houses should be free
from drafts, provide plenty OF
0entllation and provide plenty OF
space for the hens to keep them
comfortable and contented. With
hens upon a free range, as they
should be whenever possible, .
minimum floor space of 3 square
|
feet per hen should be allowed.
Watch this column for more
information on Poultry. If you
are interested in Poultry and
have any question you wish an

me hear from you.
Yours for Success.

The Indian bent over ROjas and
flung him against the wall. Mercedes,
sinking back, lay still. When Rojas
got up the Indian stood between him
and escape from the ledge. Rojas
backed the other way along the mar
rowing shelf of lava. His manner
was abject, stupefied. Slowly he
stepped backward.
1t was then that Gale caught the

followed slowly His figure was dark
and menacing. But ne was not In a
hurry When he passed off the ledge
Rojas was edging farther and farther
along the wall. He was clinging now
to the lava, creeping inch by inch.
Perhaps he had thought to work
around the tuttress or climb over 1t.
Evidently he went as far as possible,
and there he chung, an unscalable

Yaqui stole closer and closer. He was
the savage now, and for him the mo-
ment must have been glorified. Gale
saw him gaze up at the great circling
walls of the crater, then down into the
depths. Perhaps the red haze hang
ing above him, or the purple haze be-
low, or the deep caverns in the lava,
held for Yaqui spirits of the desert,
his gods to whom he called. Perhaps
he invoked shadows of his loved ones
and his race, calling them in this mo-
ment of vengeance.
Gale heard-or imagined he heard
that wild, strange Yaqui cry.

Rojas, and bent low, keeping out of

then cold as Ice, rushed over Gale
when he saw Rojas take the trail to-

Ladd got up, and, after peering

Ladd bent over, went to his knees,

he appeared rising with arms round

CHAPTER XIII
Changes at ForIorn River.

Changes at Forlorn River.
The first of March saw the federal
occupation of the garrison at Casita.
After a short, decisive engagement
the rebels were dispersed into small
bands and driven eastward along the
boundary line toward Nogales.
1t was the destiny of Forlorn River,
however, never to return to the slow,
sleepy tenor of its former existence.
Belongs predictions came true. That
struggling line of home-seekers was
but forerunner of the real invasion
of Altar valley. Refugees from Mex
leo and from Casita spread the word
that water and wood and grass and
land were to be had at Forlorn River;
and as If by magic the white tents and
red adobe houses sprang up to glisten
in the sun.
Bedding was happier than he had
been for a long time. He believed
that evil days for Forlorn River.
along with the apathy and lack Of
enterprise, were In the past. He hired
couple of trustworthy Mexicans to
ride the boundary line, and he settled
down to think Of ranching and irriga-
ton and mining projects Every morn
ing he expected to receive some word
from Sonoyta or Yuma, telling him
that Yaqui had guided his party safe
ly across the desert.
Among the many changes coming to
pass in ForlOrn River were the INSTALL
ing Of post office service and the
building Of mescal clearinghouse.
Bedding had worked hard for the post
office, but he did not like the idea Of
a saloon for Forlorn River. Still.
that was an Inevitable evil The Mex
leans would have mescal. A good
many Americans drifted into Forlorn
River-mlners, cowboys, prospectors,
outlaws, and others of nondescriptI
character; and these men, of course,
made the saloon, which was also an
inn, their headquarters. Bedding, with
Carter and other old residents, saw
the need of a sheriff for Forlornl
River.
