excitedly, almost dropping the light.
Garrity craned his neck to see, both

to gain partial glimpse within. Mea-

The Spoils Of Crime.
With eyes long accustomed to the
darkness the two men could perceive
shadowy objects in the outer passage,
where little shafts of daylight pene-
trated through the tangle of conceal
ing foliage. The walls Of the tunnel
were gray-tinged and darker objects

Gomez-shapeless and grotesque, lit

feeling full confidence in this new
alliance, moved forward, while Kelleen
followed, still suspicious, and alert
for any treachery. If Garrity came
there alone he would take the chance;
II not, then he would fight the battle
out there in the tunnel. asking no
quarter, and giving none. Meager

Come inside and I'll explain; just

The fellow did not answer. but no
one followed as he clambered across
the barrier of rock. Apparently he
could perceive nothing when once

ures awaiting him.

BABY DAYS
W MzJZRHhxul&szEEe IlzQg

Nelly could remember a good many
months back. In fact she could re-
member two whole years back, and
yet she was now only three years old.
But she was child now. She was
no longer baby. Some foolish peo-
pie still called her baby. Really
they knew very little. Didn't they
know that baby was little bit of a
helpless creature, very lovable. very
sweet. but very helpless?
Didn't they know that baby
couldn't walk or talk or even think?
At least, If baby could think, baby
couldn't tell what she was thinking
about.
And baby couldn't remember we'll
at all. In fact baby had very bad
memory. Molly knew that. Of course
she knew it.
She had been a baby herself. And
she simply couldn't remember what
she had thought about when she was
a baby. She often tried to think hard.
By thinking hard she felt she might
remember something. But no matter
how hard she thought, she couldn't re-
member further back than when she
was one whole year old.
Her mother said that most people
couldn't remember when they were

AGRICULTURE
(By leila Wigent)
Agricultural Extension Department.
International Harvester Company

The poultry in the United States
yields over hall a billion dollars every
year. This is more than the average
farm value of the annual potato crop
in this country it lis half the value of
the average wheat crop, about one
fourth the average value of the corn
crop, and about one-third the value of
the cotton crop.
Chickens represent two sources of
food-eggs and meat. The average
farm hen produces so eggs a year.
With the proper attention and care,
she can be made to produce 12O. A
fairly good hen should produce from
$3.50 to $500 year in eggs The
right kind will produce Sc or $500.
One hundred hens are worth one
hundred dollars-just about the price
OF good dairy cow. Records show
that the average dairy cow makes a
profit of from $50 to $40 a year. One
hundred hens should earn double that
amount, and it is less work to take
care of 100 hens than to milk two
cows every day.
The initial cost Of raising poultry
need not be heavy, even though you
live in town and must fence in your
chicken yards. Good housing, proper
feeding and plenty Of fresh water and
grit are about all that is necessary.
The poultry house need not be ex-
pensive. 1t should face the south and
admit as much sunshine as possible.
1t should have a good dry floor and a
good system of ventilation. 1t should
never be more than seven feet high
in front and five feet in the rear. The
north, east and west sides should be
tight to prevent drafts. If you keep
it clean you will have little trouble
from poultry diseases, lice or mites.
If you want your hens to lay, make
them comfortable and feed them egg
producing food. Grain, especially
corn, mill feeds with milk or beef
scrap and some green food are neces-
sary both summer and winter. Your
hens will complete your household
economy by converting into food the
waste from your table.
Don't give too much grain in the
morning and mix what you do give
with litter. Keep grit, oyster shell
and charcoal where the fowls can get
them. Grit helps to grind the food;
oyster shell furnishes lime for the egg
shells; charcoal aids digestion and
keeps the bowels in good condition.
Remember that young hens are the
best egg producers. Keep only the
best layers.
