To Lord St. Maurice, the Sicilian's
words and gestures seemed only
grotesque. He looked at him a little
contemptuously-a thin, shrunken-up
figure, CHASTITY pale, and seeming all
the thinner on account of his somber
black attire. What a husband for
Adrienne! How had he dared to love
so magnificent a creature. The very
idea of such man threatening him
seemed absurd to Lord St. Maurice,
All athlete of public school and college
renown, with muscles like iron, and
the stature of guardsman. He was
not angry, and he had not particle
of fear, but his stock of patience was
getting exhausted.
How are you going to do the kill
ing?" he asked. Pardon my igno-
rance, but it is evidently one of the
customs of the country which has not
been explained to me. How do you
manage it,"

Sicilian answered. 1T would be easily
DONE"
The Englishman burst out laughing.
1t was too grotesque, almost like a
huge joke.
Damn you and ycar duels" he
said, rising to his feet, ard towering
over his companion. Loo: he,

IT don't care two straws about your

carelessly. "As for the duel, I decline
it, once and for all. We Englishmen
have a code of honor of our own, and
it is more to us than the custom OF the
countries which we chance to visit.
l wish you goodnight, gentlemen"
They fell back, impressed in spite
Of themselves by the coolne:s and
hauteur Of his words. Suddenly, with
the swiftness of a tiger-cat, the
Sicilian leaped forward and struck the
Englishman on the cheek.
Perhaps you will tell US all,
Signor, how the men Of your country
resent an insult such as that" he
cried.
Every one turned round at the sound
of the scuffle. The eyes of all were
upon the Englishman, who stood there,
head and shoulders above all the
crowd, with blazing eyes and pale
cheeks. He was in towering passion,
but his voice never shook or fa!tered.
"You shall see for yourself, Signor."
he cried.
The Sicilian struggled, b.. ne rs

They fell back before him like sheep.

"There goes brave man." whis-

Two men stood facing one another
n narrow belt of sand, stripped to

shman, Lord St. Maurice. Their
ttitude spoke for itself. They were

LIVESTOCK is FINE ECONOMIC
ASSET

Since all agricultural land OF the
state Is not tillable, and the fertility
of the soil is not ineShaustible, and
with markets holding the large impor-
tancc they do in the economic life OF
the people. livestock on the farm ferns
valuable asset to the farmer, From
the standpoint of human food supplied,
additional markets furnished and soil
fertility conserved. 1t pay to keep
livestock.
Livestock furnish food that are ne
cessary for the proper nourishment OF
the human body, Without animal
foods, the race would lose in stature
and yirility.
Only about one-third OF the area of
the state. or IL million acres, is at
present included in farms. OF this,
only half is tillable. This leaves six
million acres of rough land in farms
besides large area Of public lands
that are adapted only to grazing.
Without livestock this immense area
would be practically useless. Aside
from this, much of the crop grown on
our tillable land is not adapted to hui
man consumption. requiring livestock
to concentrate these roughages into a
palatable and INJURIOUS human food.
When SURPRISES Of cash crops occur,
livestock saves them from being a
complete loss by converting them into
meat. eggs or milk.
In the mater of soil fertility con-
servation. livestock is Of vast impor-
lance. A ton OF alfalfa hay sold from
the farm removes some AZ pounds OF
nitrogen. II pounds Of phosphoric
acid. and "A pounds Of potash. while a
ton OF wheat takes away 81 pounds OF
nitrogen. n pounds phosphorous and
10 pounds of potash. These same crops
fed to any livestock and the manure
returned to the soil would dsplete the
soil less than one-fourth of this
amount If fed to dairy cows and sold
in the form Of butter. the fertality sold
would be negligible. as butter is made
up Of elements secured from air and
water.

SCRUB BULL IS
Hailed TO COURT
Placed on Trial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry.

Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a
few other such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi, recently. 1t seems that
for some time people had suspicious
that Mr.. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, thereby "maliciously and
wilfully lowering production and de
creasing profits in the dairy business"
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission in commenting on the
case.
This, it says, was the first trial OF
its kind ever held In tina: section and
was attended by several hundred peo-
pie. The jury, representing every vo-
cation within the boundaries OF the
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of guilty" The
death sentence was pronounced, "but
during the night, before the sentence
could be carried out. friends of the
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since"
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laurel. People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bulls trial" and went
away firmly convinced of the serious
ness of lax and out-of-date methods in
the pursuit OF dairying. The pur'
poses of both the Milk Products Show
and the trial we're threefold, namely:
to develop public sentiment for more
and better Jerseys to foster a more
cooperative spirit for dairying and
livestock growing. and to promote tick
eradication.
The banks OF Laurel entered into a
cooperative arrangement in their ef-
forts for fostering agricultural deyel.
