of a hytun hook, and In du tlin th
pitiful note, after puaalug through tha
handa of a dmen prisoners, reached
th healthy brother, who waa learning
to manufacture hoot In th prlaon

Th elder Qllltllan had deep pool
of aentlment beneath rough eiterlor.
Furthermore, h took no heed of con

dragged before the chief warder and
aentenred to aeven diiya' dark cell for

and through Ilk an Icy eword. After
ward be flung himself on the atone
floor and lay like a man alunned by a
terrific blow.
Borne hour later ha thought of tha
button. A medical ttudi-nt, who had
once undergone a term of Imprison
ment at Knlota, had promulgated a
theory by which the mentnl agony pro
duced by dnrk-rell treatment could ba
considerably relieved. II advised all
prlaoner friend who might vlall "the
doghole" to toaa a button Into the air,
and while away th time by aonrchlng
for It on handa and knee In th dark'
nets. Tha atudent understood tha
value of little things, and h recog
nised th fact that a contlnuoua hunt
for a miming button would drng th
mind away from th Hack abyea of
Insanity.
Ollflllan, groping blindly In th dark
Bess, remembered the advice. He
ripped a button from hla striped Jacket
and toased It Into the thick air. Lis
tening Intently b heard It fall In a
faraway corner of the cell, and on
band and knee he sturtcd to aearcb
for It.
The aport faaclnnted him. When he
discovered the metal disk he spun It
up ind again started In pursuit. Th
laaden hour rolled by alowty, but th
gam continued. Ollflllan blessed the
button. It began to feel a lov for It.
n called to It when It hid from him
in th crarki between th cold stones,
and he cried hysterically over It when
be discovered It after a long aenrch. It
seemed alive. It beeam a companion
s n htm In that borrlhla lilnrk vault Infn
which not on tingle ray of light cam
to pierce th darkneaa.
It waa oo th evening of th uth
duy thaf Nemesis clinched with (II-
Allan. Tli prisoner had, up to that
moment, thrown th button up a thou
sand tltnea and found It on each occa
sion by laboriously aearchlng on hands
and knees. But on the evening of the
sixth Jay a peculiar Incident hNpHnei,
Th prlr.utier threw the button up
Into the blackness, but It did nut come
down again.
Ollflllan waited with aching ears ts
bear the tinkle of the metal on tin
atone, but he heard no sound. The
button didn't fall, and the alienee that
filled the cell as ha stood listening
hurt hi in. He clenched hla teeth to
atrangle a scream of terror Hint fear
pushed to his Hp. What waa wrung?
The prisoner's trembling knees gav
way under him and h aunk to the
floor. Ilia Hand moved out Into the
darkneaa and commenced to feel the
xton flooring, but every nerve was
taut
On every other occasion when he
had tossed up the button he had heard
It full distinctly, but he wua certain
(lint there waa not tha slightest found
after the lust lose. Still, he would
search.
The hot handa crept over tha atones
eagerly, feverishly. The fingers worked
mudly, but the bare floor mocked their
aearcb. There waa no button. Again
and again the prisoner searched.
Through the cold hours of the night
he crawled backward and forward till
each Joining I el ween those tombstones
of hoie seemed familiar to hla blind
Angers. Hut there was nothing on the
floor. The button bud nut fallen after
he had Jerked It Into the blackness I
Ollflllun tried to think. Why had It
not returned? he asked himself. What
had happened to It? There was noth
ing above him but bare walla, and
yet I Where waa It? Again and
again he whispered the question of the
thick blnck pall that seemed to heave
around him. He asked It In louder
tone, lie acres med It Then some
thing Ilka a laugh came from on cor
nrr of that brain destroying pit of
horror, and Ollflllan waa panic stricken.
Imagination, contrary to the opinion
of scientific experts, Ilea In the slum

Ollflllan had been receiving waa not
aufllclently weighty to keep It down
Tha prlaoner began to aee thing. The

Greece Given Credit
for the Modern Table
Th first tables of beautiful design
and real usefulness were those made
by the Grecian crafiemen, fur they
are mentioned many times In the writ
ing of Sophocles and other Hellenic
men of lettcra.
During the reign of the pharaoha
the table became Increasingly popular
and It magnificence of dealgn and
ornamentation developed enormously
W know Hint from th time when
the history of Rome waa aet down by
authentic historians the table waa a
recognized piece of furniture In the
palaces of the Caesura and of their
henchmen. When the Human empire
waa conquered by the Ootha tuhlea and
nearly all other type of furniture
disappeared for well over fiv ceo
turlra. The curlnui thing about the table It
thnt, although, aa haa been elated, all
kinds of household furniture were for
gotten after the conquest of the Hu
man empire, the table waa th Inst
to reappear, and when It' waa apiln
brought Into us It had receded In
design until It wna no more than au
Imitation of the sncrlflelnl altar from
which It originally evolved many lain
dreda of years before.
Comprehn$ive
An actress who was compiling her
autobiography sprinkled It plentifully
with photographs which had little to
do with th atory. Among them waa
on of th Mutterhorn.
"Why thl?" asked the prospective
publisher.
"As you see, I hsve labeled It The
Matterhorn, which I once partly
climbed." "
"I see. And while we are about It
we'll Just run In one end luhel It
The earth, wher all this took place.' "
Painful Popularity
Mrs. liangtry, the former actress,
who has been publishing her memoirs,
was once the Idol of London society.
So Intense was th excitement shs
aroused that on on occasion a girl
seated In Uyds park, being mistaken
for her, was so badly hurt by the at
tentions of the crowd that sh waa
I taken unconscious to th hospital.

FLUSHING EWES TO
. INCREASE LAMBS
Those who have ewes to breed this
fall may well be thinking about get
ting them In good physical condition
before the mating time arrives. It Is
t well-known fact that when ewes are
In a gaining condition at the time of
breeding that the lamb crop will not
only be lunger, but the Individual
lambs will also be stronger end
beulthler. Putting ewes In a gaining
condition la spoken of as "flushing"
them.
Hum years ago the United State
Department of Agriculture carried on
a number of testa with flushing ewe
Just tefore the breeding season and
came to the conclusion, after alx years
of experimentation, that flushing In
creases tha lamb crop about 20 per
cent The Kansas experiment atatton
culls attention to lambs It haa secured
In teats with 17 groups of ewes. The
ewes that were nut fed grain during
the breeding eeason gained about l.T
pounds per bead and had a lamh crop
of 119 per cent whereaa those that
received one-half pound of grain a
day prior to breeding gained 8 pounds
per head and had a lamb crop of 147
ter rent In other worda, on that basis
every hundred ewes that were flushed
produced 28 more lambs than those
that were not liberally fed prior to
breeding. It Isn't to Important that
a ration of a definite composition be
fed. Any good feed that will canae
the ewee to gain In flesh will turn the
trick. A good bluegrasa or alfalfa pas
ture without grain la all right.
A very good grain ration, however,
Is roniHiaed of one-third part by
weight of corn, oats and bran. One
half corn and one half oats will also
make a good ration or outs alone will
do very well Indeed. Nor should a
great deal of grain be fed. One-half
pound per day per head la usually
enough, although ewes that are In a
run-dewn condition will do better If
fed as much as three-fourths of a
pound per head per day fur a period
of 14 to 18 days before t reeding.
There are other advantagea hi fl'iah
Ing the ewe flock aside from getting
a larger and atronger crop of lambs
Flushing tenda to canae the ewes to
come In heat Thua the flock can be
bred In lesa time and the lambs will
come within a range of about two
weeks of each other. A short lamb
ing aet son In the spring Is preferable
to a long season because It lessens
the labor of caring for the youngsters.
Betides, as the lambs grow up they
will be more uniform In alxe, which is
sn advantage when running together
In one flock. They will also be ready
for the market at the aame time and
practically all will be uniform aa to
weight when sold. These are factors
of considerable Importance.
Avoidable Waste in Hog
Raising in Kansas Huge
"Kansas ralaea four hogs per litter
and eight pounds ot pork per bushel
of corn," said Ir. C, W. McCainpbelL
head of the animal husbandry depart
ment at the Kansaa State Agricultural
college. In hla talk before tbe Kansas
swine breeders' associations.
"Kansas can raise eight hogs per
Utter and 10 pounds of pork per bush
el of corn." he continued. "Kansas
loses more hogs than aha raises. For
every four plga raised nine are far
rowed. About 88 per cent ot the deaths
may be traced directly to the furmer.
It may be due to neglect or to Igno
rance. In either rase It can III be af
forded and can usually be avoided
with a reasonable amount of care and
precaution.
"Poor management can be supersed
ed by good management Poor feeding
can be avoided by a study of what
types of food a hog must have, what
proportions It should have, and how
these qualltlea can be obtained satis
factorily and economically.
"If the breeder chooses he can, by
proper management, careful feeding,
end wise selection, grove strong, thrif
ty, vigorous hogs."
Live Stock Hints
Don't let animals go thirsty.
Breed ewes for early spring lambs.
Don't allow dairy cows and laying
hens to become fat
Don't feed animals of different sges
and sixes In the snme pen or lot
at
Plan to show your hogs at the coun
ty and community fairs.
It Is not advisable to pasture sheep
and hogs together la a am a 11 mature.
When the ewes sre turned out of
the Individual pens, those with twin
lambs should be kept separate from
those with only one lamb.
The rugged, stretchy, growthy, fast
growing, heavy-boned, deep-bodlcd, big
type hog is best for pork-production
purposes.

TO
DORMANT PERIOD IS
CRITICAL FOR COWS
Of course It 1 desirable to make
certain modifications In rations for
dairy cows that are to be fed during
lactation as well ss during the dry
period. A milking ration must neces
sarily carry more protein than a main
tenance ration. In too many Instances
dairymen feel that since the cow la
not producing milk, she can survive
on coarse roughages that are hot sup
plemented with the usual grain allow
ance. This Is a common error and
a aerlous one.
It I were to Judge the critical per
iod, aa far as nutrition Is concerned,
ss It occurs In a dairy cow's cycle, I
should say that the care and attention
to the feed that Is supplied during her
dormant period Is even more Import
ant than the selection of that given
her while she Is In milk, says a writer
In the Rural New Yorker. If the enw
Is In good condition, then a ration
consisting of ao pounds toni.m-nl, a..
pounds ground outs, 30 pounds brim,
10 pounds linseed meal, makes sn
excellent winter dry ration. During
the summer mouths. Via lianecd un ul
might properly be replaced with glu
ten feed or gluten meal. Too under
stand, of course, that you feed about
twice as much gluten feed ss you do
gluten meal in order to bring about
an equal amount of protein. The S'4
pounda of grain that you are feeding
twice dally la quit aufllclent during
her lactation period, provided this will
carry from 20 to 23 per cent of pro
tein. A ration consisting of equul parts
of bran, cornmeal, gluten feed, and
011 meal would b rather concentrate.,
although It would carry about 20 per
cent of protein. Th addition of some
ground oats to this combination would
provide bulk and bring It more nearly
Into balance, especially for aummer
feeding. Neither millet hay nor the
mixed hay you describe la suitable
for milk production and It might be to
your advantage to replace thla rough
age with alfalfa or clover hay, or at
least mixed hay carrying aome clover.
Let her have all of the corn fodder
that the will clean up with relish. In
fact under tbe individual feeding sys
tem It Is slmost Immaterial how and
when the roughage la supplied. In the
sbsence of some succulent feed such
ss cow peas, turnips, or email pota
toes, or similar home-grown garden
products, I should feed some moist
ened beet pulp. The candy pall serves
as a vehicle In this Instance, wherein
four or five pounda of dry beet pulp
Is moistened for 12 hours before feed
ing end given the animal In two equal
quantities, morning and night This
succulent feed Is a carbohydrate car
rier, la very palatable, and when fed
In conjunction with grain ration men
tioned above, when the cow la In milk,
results la an increased dally produc
tion. Alfalfa and Silage for
Dairy Cows Without Grain
8ome experiment station haa been
conducting a long time experiment In
feeding dairy cows on alfalfa hay and
corn ellace without grain feed. The
test has been running now aome ten
years and the records show an aver
age production per cow of something
over 300 pounds of butterfat a year.
That la good.
Alfalfa hay and corn adage make
up a perfectly balanced ration and
provide ample aubstance for rows of
sversge production. Cows of high
production, of course, require grain,
but It might be said that the pro
duction of average cows kept fur
dairying In Minnesota could be In
creased third If they were fed all
the alfalfa hay and corn silage they
required without grain. Too mapy
farma are without an acre of alfalfa
and without a silo.
A ton of good alfalfa hay Is worth
pretty close to a ton of bran for
milk production. From two to three
tons per acre ts a reasonable yield.
It can be aeeded aa late aa June.
