HIS reiil nnine was Tim 6'IIngnn, but In Higgles' alley he wa familiarly known a Shingle. Thl wa hecauso, while a bootblnck by profession, bo spent a large share of his llfo on the roof of a flve-itory tenement house, tending hi buby brother. On thl purtleulur occasion, however, he rose above hi culling of bootblack and uurecmnld, and became a hero. , The region about Minnies' alley. I not precisely a hotbed of heroism. In deed, there I probably not a corner of America In which the poverty stricken and depraved of nil nation meet In such strength as here, where the social sewer from the four cor ner of the earth leein to empty them selves. Hut Bhlngles, looking down upon the Btreet from tha high plane of the tenement housetop, saw more of the color, and whirl, and bigness of the streets than of their mud and meanness, lie law the clrru parade a it swept gleaming by. lie saw the crowd pouring through the neighbor ing street a black river of humanity. Best of all, he looked almost dully on the wonderful maneuver of a Are company, whose engine bouae, oppo site ono entrance of the tenement house, wa Shingle' favorite resort. On those rsre occasions when be wa free to ply hi trade. Shingle earned several dime and nickel, and Inci dentally many golden opinions, from the good-natured fir laddies, who rec ognized a kindred spirit In this mite of ten. And when chained by duty to hi post on the rof, Shingle could, If be liked, exchange occasional salutes with the object of his worship as they lounged In the street below. Al for those moment when the aluna gong rang, and hi friend at the en gine house Jumped Into their pieces on tha bose carriage or the hook and ladder trucks, snd were whirled off to scones of adventure, those were pe riods of combined pride and pain to Shingle. The pride was for hi comrade; the pain that he, by reason ef hi tea year and absorbing occu pation, wa cut oft from any share In theae deeds of daring. Only In mike-bellev could he climb ladder and rescue people fmm burning build ings; and. while It wss ensy to play circus purade with the baby and pussy est In a mnp-bnx on roller for tha band chariot, the heroism of the Are laddie called for a greater exercise of talent On thl June morning Shingle' mother, who wa today engaged In Bcruhhlng at on of the big insurance building on Broadway, left the young ster with hi charge on the roof, creaming back strict Injunction to the boy to keep the baby amused. To this task Shingle addressed himself with an ardor born of the beautiful day and the necesalty for some occu pation for the long hours thnt stretched between now and supper time. What would he do to nuns the baby and Incidentally himself? Why, "play Ore," of course. Ill engine-house ex perience, Joined to hi observation from the mnf, guv him a familiarity with the fire laddies' mode of opera tion that resulted In the moat stirring realism. The baby teemed pleased, and listened with open-mouthed won der, while big brother Imitated the clatter and clangor ot the engine gong or the hoarse about of the firemen, and gated with special delight at Tim' aitonlshlng clUuh up an Imagin ary ladder al foreman of tha rvecue corpa. Indeed, he wa n much amused by this new gmue that he did not wince while Shingles tied one end of the clothes-line iround the tiny fig ure, puffing and blowing laboriously for Imaginary smoke tha while. Baby even thought It great fun, until brother bore btm over the edge of the roof and began to let him down, down a tiny morsel of humanity dangling five stories above the pavement of Higgles alley. Then fun chnnged to fright, and bnby set up a lusty howl. It waa thl acrenm that aroused 8hlngle from hi realistic play to the grim earnest nes of the situation. There wa no ladder waiting below; there were no brnv comrade only himself, a mite of ten, clutching In bis small hand tha very end of the rope from which dangled the helpless figure of hi tiny brother. Ileal four gripped at tha little fellow's heart Blowly, pain fully, he began to pull In that endless length of lino. Inch by Inch he brought that tiny, awaylng figure nourer to the housetop. Then suddenly a knot In tha rope caught In the Iron railing. Cold perspiration rolled down the little follow'! cheek. . Already III strength wa fulling him. To slacken a single foot meunt to loosen hi hold alto gether, lie tried to cull fur help, but the shrill Utile vole attracted no more attention thnn hod the bnby'i feeble wall In the neighborhood of Wiggles' alley children lift tip their voice In lamentation to ofteti thnt nothing short ot an alarm of fire or murder ex cites special notice. Suddenly, In thl moment of agonising terror, the boy wai aelxed by an Inspiration. On hi left rose a large chimney. Around this the little fellow drew the tau,t rope, making It fust to the clothes-hook In the ninionry. Then he rushed to the edge of the roof, and shouted: "Fire, fire, In Higgle alley l"i - At thl louud the firemen lounging In the street below leaped to their feet. Looking up, they racognlzed tha figure on tha roof edge at that of their little comrade, and, convinced that this wis no fain ulnnn, rushed Into the engine house, A moment Inter tha street be low resounded with the rumble of truck, the whang of gongs, end the rush of the (urging crowd. In this focal point of cosmopolltun New York, where a quarter of a million people are located within a stone's throw of a common renter, the elements of a stirring scene are always at hand. At the sound of the alarm, Chinamen crept from their basement bunk In Mott street recking with opium and dazed hy the noise; long-haired He brews tumbled Into the alley from their sweat shops; swarthy Italians rnme pell-mell from their hovels; and the Arab lost his fex, which, In the surging crowd, wai t rumpled under foot Hy tho time that the engines and hook snd ladder company reached the alley they found It Jammed with a mass of excited humanity, whose eyes were focused upon a tiny white bundle that swayed in midair, TO feet above tho pavement At one the firemen realised that they had been duped; but the necessity for effort did not escape them. Up shot the great bid ders, one above another, and then .an agile rescuer begun tha swift ascent The crowd cheered In a babul- of tongue; but a the climber reucbed tha lust few rounds, and begun creep ing out over the slender threads toward th precloua price, a hush full upon tha multitude. Now ha wa al most there now b tood directly under th dangling mite now he put forth hi hsr1 with extremest caution. The crowd it d on tiptoe. Not a soul breathed. Then, Just aa the strong hand touched tha hem of tha little frock, tha child begun atruggllng once more, thl time o violently that Jn lb very moment of apparent safety, it sllpied from the noose and felL In that moment even tha hardened face of the multitude below, accus tomed to light of all degree of dan ger and wickedness, blanched with ter ror; rye bleared by drink or opium were ihudileringly averted from the awful acene that teemed Inevitable. Meantime the tiny bundle of humanity, In it wild plunge downward, struck a rope stretched across tha alley hang ing full of wet clothe. The strand broke with the strain, and the child was lost In the Dying mnss of white. A few stray rag fluttered down but the baby T It had disap peared like a wraith. Strong arm out stretched to make a desperate effort to catch the flying waif fell helpless at many a side. The vast crowd stood speechless, dumfounded. An Instant later a deaf old Irish woman In the second-dory tenement looked up from her work and gave a shrill cry of surprise a she saw crawl ing through th window that led from th flre-escsp where she bid Just laid her feather-bed to air, an almost naked child with scarlet bur around It little body. "Ity all tha aalnta to gather I" she cried, dropping on her knee, "If tbot kid didn't rain down from heaven ol'll nlver say another pather noster long a I live I" And It took the combined eloquence of Shingle and hi distracted mother to convince tha old lady of th child' earthly origin. Hard to Cope With Fire Beyond Reach In a score of til fit-rent place In these Islands underground fire are smoldering. Bom have been alight for many year tnd are fair Imitation of volcanoes on a email icule. The fuel la moit Casei Is coal. A pit between Ayr and Clrvan caught fir In 1847 and w ai still burn ing at the beginning of the present century. "The Steaming Bug," th country folk call It Landore, an important Junction na tion near Buanaca, waa for some time rendered, useless by an underground fir said to ba burning In old chemical and metal refuse. Th platforms were hot tnd the whole place wai poisoned by fume. Tha town of Dudley ha suffered severely from a alow burning going on deep beneath Its foundations, which at one time threw out fumei of deadly gas, half-poisoning many peo ple. It I easy to understand coal catch ing fire, but more difficult to compre hend land biasing up. Tet this phe nomenon happens quit frequently. Soma year ago there wa a remark able outbreak at Ilalsnll Moss, near Illrkdale. A potato fanner plied un slaked lime on one of hi field and set fir to tha peaty toll that had been rendered bone-dry by a month of sun shine. A wind got up and soon three acre were ablaxe, the fir biting deep Into tha ground Two year ago there waa a similar outbreak near Shrewsbury. The burn ing of a pile ot brushwood started It The fire caught Into the roots of a great tree and five weeka Inter the tree crashed down. Then the whole earth wai found to be afire, and the fire spread until winter rulm put It out London Titnits. Degeneration "Tho American people used to read Thoreau and Emerson. Today their Idea of Intellectual enjoyment Is to gloat over films of pretty girls In bathtubs." The Boston critic, Everett P. Wheeler, was addressing a women's union. lie went on: "A light-seeing motor bus wai glid ing through Boston's historic streets. The man with the megaphone was raising tha Instrument to his lip for another tplel when a pretty girl gov hli coat tall a yank and aald impa tiently t "'Aw, lay, cut out that heavy ituff. You've told ui enough about the splendid Oliver Wendell Holme! of lloston. Now can't you show ui In eld few of them for a change." FARM STOCK 1 SOME ADVANTAGES IN RAISING SHEEP Fanners are becoming interested In raising sheep as a profitable undertak ing. On of the first problems that comes up before the farmer who Is Interested In the proposition, Is the advantage and disadvantages of aheep. Tbore ire several advantages In raising sheep, and with a little care most of the disadvantage run be overcome. , In general, sheep rais ing will pay provided the sheep are given proper attention, says L. V. Btarky, chief of the anlmnl husban dry division at Clemson college, who give below tome of the advantages and disadvantages that the farmer may expect to find In sheep. The outstanding advantage of the theep Industry I thnt they require let groin than any other class of Uva stock. This does not mean that sbp cob get along without feed. There are time when they must have plenty of feed. A good crnde of le gume boy I on of the most sulla factory feeds. Sheep will consume about 00 per cu.t of the weeds and bushel grown la the ordinary pasture. In this wuy they make tha pastures better. They also rpread their manure ovnr the parts of the pastures which need it most They teem to Ilk to occupy tb spots which ara too poor to grow grass. There era two money crops, the lamb and tb wool. It 1 often the case that th wool will pay for the feed and the lamb are clear profit. If the lamb coma early they will bring good price on the market. Dtoeaaes, parasite snd dogs are tb three drawback to the sheep In dustry. Diseases and parasltea niuy b controlled to a certain extent by changing pastures frequently. If sheep are brought up Into a lot at nights dog are not likely to bother them. Dog very eldom attack aheep in tb day time. Proper Feeding Is Best in Growing Market Hogs "Farmer will come day learn that It pay to feed hog properly snd mar ket them wisely," tayt W. W. Shay, win extension specialist for the North Carolina State College of Agri culture. "On February 10," itatei Mr. Bhay. "County Agent K. A. Sheffield of Da t lib on -county weighed nine pigs be longing to J. E. Young of Lexington. At thnt time the pigs weighed 213 pounds." Tan) age, red dog, and corn meal were mixed In whut ba been proven ly th North Carolina experiment sta tion a tb best ration to meet the re quirements ot such ptgl from the tttndpolnt of both gains and profit "At tha expiration of five weeks." ays Mr. Shay, "th pigs were again weighed and feed In different proior tloni wai mixed for another period of five weeks. This was continued during four periods of five weeks each, the feed being changed each time, and all the time an amount of corn equal b; weight to the slop mix ture wa fed." Aa a result Mr. Shay report that on July 1, th pig were told for 13 cent per pound. At that time they weighed .1,831 pouuda and brought 1238.03. After paying for all the other feeds at actual cost these nine pigs paid $2.21 per bushU for the 8,1)4 lusheU of corn which they ate during this 140 day period. If Mr. Young produced hi! corn at a cost of 73 cents p.-r bushel, the profit on that eutcn by hi pigs waa 1122.29. Live Stock Items Don't waste your surplus feeds. . Don't turn cattle or sheep on lux uriant clover when the dew I on. Don't allow pregnant breeding an lmali to become too fut Don't feed a ration containing corn alone to any class of stock. e Empty corn crib help explain why stockmen are fuedlng and marketing lambs so much these days. i a Don't allow your breeding animals to become so thin that you have to apologise for their condition. Ing and mineral matter, placed where the twain can meet at all time, will produce thrifty porker. Bheop and hog parasite live InMde tha animals: you can't get at them with external remedies. r - Don't use pasture too early In the spring and don't graze pastures too closely. A good feeding ration for steers, be they yearlings or two-year-olds, Is corn, ollmeal and alfalfa -hay. Brood sows, bred to furrow In th spring, ihouM be kept In good fleah, but Dot allowed to become too fleshy. A good grade of nlfulfa hay It much appreciated In small quantities by the ow -and. help In producing milk. PORTI A Nn 1 V-flV ILuIlMJ Portland, Oregon. Better Franklin Service-Storage and General Repairing ANDERSON & RICE, tt'.H Portland, Ore CEDING GRAIN TO COWS ON PASTURE Doe It pay to feed grain to cowt on pasture! The answer I that It de pend largely upon bow much milk the cow give and bow good the pos ture Is. If a cow I producing less than pound of butterfut each day, the neces sary food can be obtained from a good pasture. If lb produce! more than this, tome grain can b fed with profit Ttil mean that a Holsteln should be able to get food enough from grass alone to make 25 to 80 pound of milk dally, and a Guernsey or Jersey about CO pnnnrta, It will pay to feed grain to ail fc.iin'i above this amount a It I impossible f. r the animal to gather eufllclent feed In the form ot grass. To produce m pound of butterfut dully rwjj.K ul least 23 pound of dry material. Fresh pasture gruss contslns only ten to twelv pound of dry matter In a hundred pounds, mak ing It necessary for a cow to gather and digest from 200 to 250 pound of gruss to produce from 20 to 30 pound? ot milk. It Is clear from till that It I Impossible for a really blgh-produc-Ing cow giving 40 to 50 pounds dally to do so long on grass alone. A cow yielding a pound and a half of fat dally should recelv about five pound of grain, and about (even or eight pound of grain for two pounds of fut When not more than five pound of grain I neeJed, It may be corn, barley, oats, or any combination ot grain that I cheapest The grass fuppliea a good amount of protein o tha danger of a shortage of this neces sary material la not aerioiu. with high-producing cow requiring more than flv pounds of grain dully, a mall amount of bran, linseed meal, or other high protein feed should be added. . These recommendation hold good only when pasture are good. In mid ummer It will often be necessary to feed more grain to high-producing cow or to give some allege or green feed to help out the pastures. C. II. Ecklea, chief ef th division of dairy husbandry, University Farm, St I'auL Dairy Calves Need Right Feed to Make Best Growth Dairy calves should be taken from their motbera when twenty-four hour old. They must have their dam's first milk In order to get started off right Wace them In a clean stall or pen and lch them to drink by letting them suck your finger until they get a taste of the milk. Feed two or three pounds of whole milk morning, noon, and night Do not neglect the noon feed. If you do they will gulp down the night rutlon. and the result la scour and other In testinal trouble. When a month old drop th noon feed and begin to add teparated milk, about four pound at a feed. After feeding the milk, put tome bran and corn chop before them In a pan. Thl will keep them from lucking end other to some extent though when sev eral calve re being fed It I better to tie them separately or put them In stanchions. Keep plenty of pure water before the calves and nice bright hay or pas ture grass. It is surprising how much wuter they will drink. I'rovlde shade In summer, be kind and gentle In han dling them, and if you have any foun dation ot all you w ill raise a real dulry cow. Why Fifty-Dollar Scrub Is Most Expensive Bull Usually they figure "What Is a pure bred aire wortbr That la fine, but Just for variety let ua figure what a scrub bull costs his owner. United States dairy bureau figure ahow that scrub bulls cost 13 dairymen a do crease of 50.848 pounds of butterfut and $20,702,42 In decrease In sale This la a cost to each owner of the scrub bull of $2,280.47. Wouldn't that money buy a dundy bull! The cost of these scrub bulls to the 13 dairymen. when computed on a cow's basis, was $30.13 per cow. Is a $200 pure-bred bull an expensive bull In a herd? Ab solutely not The expensive bull I the $30 scrub lire that w pick up because be Is cheap. D. W. Fairbanks, Exten sion Service, Colorado Agricultural Col lege.
