Grave Purpose Behind
Writing of Fiction

Universal nature, too strong for the
petty fiber of the bard, sits on his neck
and writes through his hand; SO that
when he seems to vent mere caprice
and wild romance the issue is an exact
allegory. Hence Plato said that poets
utter great and wise things which
they do not themselves understand"
All the fictions of the Middle ages ex-
plain Themselves as masked or frolic
expression of that which in grave
earnest the mind of that period toiled
to achieve. Magic, and all that is
ascribed to 1t, is deep presentment
Of the powers of science. The shoes
of swiftness, the sword of sharpness,
the power of subduing the elements,
of using the secret virtues of min
erals, of understanding the voices Of
birds, are the obscure groupings Of the
mind in right direction. The pre-
ternatural prowess Of the hero, the
gift of perpetual youth anG the like
are but the endeavor of the human
spirit "to bend the shows of things
to the desires Of the mind. "-Ralpn
Waldo Emerson in Essay on His
tory"

Cooperative Terminal
Stock Sales Increasing

Measured in dollars, 21 per cent
more business was handled by Co
operative sales agencies operating in
terminal live stock markets in 1924
than in 1923, reports the bureau of
agricultural economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Twenty-Five farmer-owned and con-
trolled sales agencies in eighteen mar
kets handled business to the amount
of $235, 100000 in 1924, as compared
with 26 agencies reporting business
Of $193,000,000 in 10 markets in 1913.
The agency operating In the Sioux
Falls Is. d. market in 1923 was dis
continued in 1924. At the Buffalo,
Fort Worth and ST. Joseph markets
the sales for 1924 showed a decrease
in number of animals and in dollars,
compared with 1923, but in each of
the other Is markets substantial in
creases were reported.
The greatest increase was at the
Sioux City market, where the 1924
business exceeded that in 1923 by
$7,7O0,00O, Approximately the same
increase is credited to the East st.
Louis market Business at the Chi
cago terminal market increased by
nearly $7,000,000.

! I'VE
STOCK
MOST ECONOMICAL
LIVE STOCK PLAN

BY Y L, sTARKEY, Chief of the AMI
NAL Husbandry Division, Clemson
College.
am not one who believes that all
Of the live stock in South Carolina
should be pure bred. The idea of all
pure breds is a beautiful theory which
does not work out well In practice.
On the other hand, l do not believe
that we should continue to produce
scrubs, for they do not bring good
prices on the market.
The most economical, sensible,
and profitable plan is to use the ma
tive females and pure-bred sires. The
natives are acclimated, hardy, and used
to cleaning their living from the pas
lures with little or no additional feed.
In the southern part Of the state thou
sands of beef CATTLE sheep and swine
survive and reproduce on the grasses,
roots, tubers and mast, which grow
so abundantly,
From the mating of the pure-bred
sire and the native females we get
offspring which VIII utilize the ma
tive feeds and develop into individuals
which will bring fair prices on the
market.
Then comes the question, How many
pure breds do we need? The answer
follows that we need enough pure
bred herds to produce the pure-bred
sires necessary to grade up our ma
tives.
Along with improved live stock must
come better feeds and improved meth
DDS Of feeding and management. The
system of breeding as outlined above
will improve the live stock as rapidly
as we are able to produce feeds neces-
sary for better live stock and acquaint
ourselves with the care and attention
which even high grades must have.
The above statements should not be
misconstrued as arguments against
pure-bred live stock. On the contrary,
they are in it's favor. If this system is
followed out it will save thousands
of dollars for those who become over
enthusiastic and want to plunge into
the pure-bred business. 1t will also
make money for those who have been
breeding nothing but scrubs.

Alfalfa-Molasses Meal
Is Favored for Lambs

Alfalfa-molasses meal added to ra-
increased the gains of lambs fed exper-
mentally at the Nebraska station.
When fed at the rate of one-fifth
pound per head daily in connection
with one and one-fifth pounds Of corn
and one pound Of alfalfa, the meal in
creased gains about 8 per cent while
the cost Of gain was few cents lower
than when corn and alfalfa were fed.
A daily feed Of one-half pound of
alfalfa-molasses meal increased gains
ment in which corn was charged at go
cents per bushel this amount Of the
meal also increased the cost Of gain.
With present prices it is probable that
this increase would not take place,
since the meal is now proportionately
lower in price as compared with corn
than at the time of the experiment.
A heavy feed Of one pound of mo-
lasses-alfalfa meal per lamb daily
failed to produce as satisfactory gains
as the medium feed, while it raised
the cost by more than 20 per cent as
compared with the other lots.
The experiment indicates that where
a molasses-alfalfa feed can be pur-
chased at $25 to $50 per ton, with corn
at present prices, the use Of amounts
up to half pound per lamb daily
will prove worth while in the feeding.

CHAPTER XIV

On Sunday evening, after he had
dined early with Colby Pennington, In
one of the great deserted dining
rooms in a certain New York club
Peter felt the sense of revolt against
the rut-running life of his own kind.
From Pennington, with his naturally
brilliant mind, shackled in religion, In
politics, in morals, in taste, by those
schools Of petty imitation misnamed
Society and Responsibility and Prece-
dent, DeWolfe that evening had
drawn a new draught of disgust. Poor
Pennington. Industrious, irreproach.

nearer God: for all his labors no near.
er to mankind Even his restraints
had not enlarged his soul; Peter was
certain that IL the lawyer would only
commit one good dashing highway rob.
berry he would be better man.
He wondered what this successful
professional man would say if he knew
that under Peters thigh a hard object
was pressing into the flesh as they sat
in the great hall with their coffee and
watched club members slide here and
there alone, like dyspeptic ghosts; he
wondered what Pennington would do
If he pulled out this automatic pistol
as he was tempted to do, and stirred
his coffee with its barrel The reason
that Peter did not do this was be-
cause when Pennington had said, "You
are a fool to carry that thing" he
could be sure that his attorney was
wrong about it,
When he said goodnight to Pen
nington, there was still enough day.
light for a walk alone to one of the
little parks over near the East river
He remembered that, in France his
idea of the most wonderful moment in
the world, the sharpest contrast to the
gigantic nobilities and the colossal
triviality Of war, was a moment on q
New York park bench with children
of the tenements still playing In the
dusk, perhaps with an organ and q
monkey thrown in for good measure.
Since then how life had changed for
him. When he sat down the children
in the dusk-the realities-faded away
and were lost in unreal pictures of
Brena in her BecOnshire garden, per-
haps with her great dark eyes turned
toward the sunset because he had
gone behind 1t.
He felt an extraordinary restless
ness-like that which comes upon
those who have been deprived of some
drug and are in torture while it goes
slowly out Of the system. He who
wished not to walt, was waiting. He
felt the dread of unknown calamities.
