in the sunshine, which was particu-

Tonight the tug was in a dangerous

appeared but this was never confirm

Bunneu, Canaan Hill farmer. a
week before his body was found, and

the money lender went to see Bun.
nell to ask payment of a mortgage
for $4,000 on the latter's land and
that Cross was shot in dispute that
followed. The authorities were I'M
able to locate this mortgage.

YOUNG Mr.. KATYDlD

he was handsome young Mr.. Katy
dld and he was in love. To be sure he
looked his best, too. Oh, yes, he had
nxed himself up to look very fine and
ne mad been practicing his speech over
and over again. For he was going to
make a speech to young Miss Katydid.
And he hoped she would not only like
the speech, but that she would like
him, too.
On, he was very much in love with
young Miss Katydid. How handsome
katydid she wasl He was consid-
cred handsome in Katydid circles, but
he thought he couldn't compare with
Miss Katydid when 1t came to looks.
lie was sure of that Still, he want
ed to look his best, for he hoped she
would think he was more handsome
than he was. Not that he wished for
her to be deceived, but he wished for
her approval and her praise. And so
he went forth to see Miss Katydid.
NOW he had been preparing his speech
for some time, and he had lately been
able to say it over and over again
quite correctly. Yet, as he drew near
to Miss Katydid's home, he had hor-
rible fear. What If he should forget
every word of his speech and not be
able to say word of it? What
dreadful thing that would be- But he
must not think of such horrors. No. he
would make himself believe that he
would not break down. Then he would
not break down.
Nervousness was what made crea-
lures do such things. And he must not
be nervous. Was he not brave Katy
did? Had he not made the sound Of
challenge which a Katydid can make
when he is ready and eager TO start
fight? Of course he had. He had
shouted the Katydid's war cry-for
they make a special kind of sound
when they want to fight-and young
Mr.. Katydid had had his little fight and
had won.
But he was afraid now Oh, he was
quite afraid. And 1t was hard to try
to shove his fear behind him. But he
braced up and went forth.
To Miss Katydid's tree did he go,
and then he began to sing. Oh, such
a splendid song as he did sing. And
no longer was he nervous. No, his
nervousness had all been in thinking
about going to see her. Now that he
was actually with her his nervousness
had all gone He was singing his very
best. For Miss Katydid made him do
his very best, though she did not say
word. He could not help but do his

SHOCK.
Fattening Dairy Steers
Is Profitable Business

Inc uairyman who has number
OF bull calves on hand that cannot be
disposed Of for breeding purposes
otten wonders what to do with them
when they have reached one wear of
age. Can they be castrated. dehorned
and fattened for the market at that
age by the breeders themselves, or
can they be sold to men who are in
the feeding business? To answer
the question the Ohio experiment sta
ton conducted feeding test with six
Holstein bull calves, 11.5 months of
age, when they weighed an average of
626 pounds per head.
The bull calves were dehorned and
castrated in December, 1921, and on
January II, 1922, at the weight men
TONED, were put On feed, a ration of
ground corn, oil meal, mixed hay and
corn slower being fed During a period
of 154 days they consumed an average
of IA pounds ground corn, % pounds
oil meal, A pounds mixed hay and D.
pounds corn slower. On this they made
a daily gain Of 257 pounds per head,
at a cost of $1O.16 per 100 pounds
gain.
During the same period a lot Of
Angus calves averaging 632 pounds per
head were fed the same feeds. They
consumed about two pounds corn meal,
two pounds hay and one pound slower
less per head than the dairy steers and
gained SO of a pound less per head per
day. The dairy steers, in other words,
proved to be the heaviest eaters and
also made a slightly larger gain per
pound of feed consumed.
The dairy steers produced 100
pounds Of gain at a cost of S10.16 and
the Angus steers at cost of S10.34-
The dairy steers were put in the feed
lot at a valuation Of S4.25 per 100
pounds and the beef steers at value
Of 81 per hundred. The former sold
on the market for $3.50 and the latter
for 1915 hundred. The profit on the
dairy steers was S10.S3 per head and
on the beef steers s6.62.
This test, so far as one test Of this
sort can prove anything, showed con-
clusively that dairy steers can be fed
out at a good profit by the feeder when
he buys them at the right price and,
also, that they make excellent use OF
their feed.

Sou s

fiji
Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts Of America.),
EVERY SCOUT A CAMPER

The year-round slogan of Every
Scout a Camper has the support Of
174,470 boys enrolled in summer coun-
Gil camps Of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, an increase of nearly twenty per
cent over the preceding year, with
thirty-fve per cent of scouts under
council Jurisdiction in camps. This Is
exclusive Of many hundreds and even
thousands OF individual campers who
are not recorded in official organized
council camps. Weekend, holiday, and
winter camps are attracting as many
and more enthusiasts. Winter outings
have become an inseparable activity
Of the outdoor program.
Older scouts, scoutmasters, and
camp leaders are finding adventure
and recreation through hiking, trek
cart, canoe, cycle, auto, boat, pack
train, mountain climbing, and explora-
ton trips. The keynote has been to
maintain the pioneer conditions with
maximum participation in every camp.
A wide acquaintance has been estab-
lished with outdoor organizations,
mountain clubs, and prominent travel
ers and explorers. Contracts have
been made with national and state
forests and parks, conservation and
forestry organizations. Definite service
and assistance has been rendered in
developing trails, fire lines, plant
disease control, and treeplanting.
One of the outstanding marks Of
progress is the extent to which win
ter camping has been enjoyed. Sta
tistics show that camps conducted
over week-ends and on holidays, such
as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lincoln's
and Washington's birthdays, and Eas-
ter week actually attract more boys
than the long-term summer camps
