in an ironical voice and ad

you had some business qualities;

on sentimental lines. Unless
you use sound economy, the farm
will break you.”
“Perhaps I’m not much of an
economist, but I doubt if one
can handle men as if they were
machines,” said Spiers. “For
the most part, we arc not a me
chanically logical lot. At all
events, 1 imagine Larry’s gang
will work for him where yours
will slack.”
Ogilvie gave him a scornful
smile and fixed his eyes on Law
rence.
“Well, I reckon I’m up
against you another time, and
I surely hate to be heat. Your
partner doesn’t count. If you
and Mrs. Spiers can carry him
along, you arc smarter than l
think, but that’s your job. The
important thing is, you are
willing to go hack on your neigh

'your neighbors are not with you,
sir.”
“That is so,” Ogilvie ad
mitted. “Some are fools, and
some have not got much grit.
Anyhow, the farms are ours; we
broke the prairie and we risk
our capital. The boys risk noth

we bear the loss, but now the

“1 rather think ours is the
true economy,” Lawrence re
joined. “At bottom all co-opera

Ogilvie laughed a scornful
laugh. “Then, the hoys’ agree

up for a stipulated sum, and on
the plains a farmer pays when
bis wheat is harvested. When
mine’s at the elevators I'll hand

“If Geoff was like you, T’d

“The Crossing is yours, Mr.

your arrangements have nothing
to do with us: hut if you hold
up ihe boys’ wages, I imagine
you’ll play a risky game.”
“I am willing to take some

“Anyhow, there’s no use in talk

It’s a sure thing the gang can’t

He started his horses and

Lawrence thought it possible

“Perhaps greediness does not

be bluffed and no doubt feels
he stands for the farmer’s right
to stick to all that's his.”
“His sort call it standing for a

with a grin. “Anyhow, he will
put up a good fight. When he
saw he could not persuade you
he was annoyed, but I sensed a
touch of grim humor, as if after
all, he had a joke on us.”
Lawrence concentrated on his
driving. He would sooner have
indulged Ogilvie; particularly
since it looked as if Margaret
had hoped lie might, and he
wondered whether he had exag
gerated the importance of their
dispute. Tt was possible, but
had he agreed, he would have
felt himself shabby. Well, he
had refused, and he imagined he
must bear the consequences.
At noon they stopped by a
little creek and brewed some tea.
The sun was very hot, and when
they set off scorclftd silver grass

shone in dazzling light. At the
settlement dust blew along the
street. Three or four ears and
some wagons were parked in a
vacant lot by the livery stable,
shouts and the rattle of billard
balls indicated that the pool
room was occupied, and groups
of strangers loafed about in the
shade. For the most part, the
men were brown skinned a«d
muscular, but, when Lawrence in
quired none seemed keen to take
a job.
“If we get all we want, you
can hire the crowd, but we don’t
mean to jump,” said one. “I
been three days on the.cars, and
I guess I’ll take a rest and watch
the pay go up.”
“Then I imagine you take
some chances,” Lawrence re
joined. “I was willing to be
just, but you’re extravagant.”
“It looks as if our lot had put
them wise,” said Spiers. “The
boys, however, have not yet got
up against Mr. Ogilvie. I’d
rather like to know’his plan.”
They went to the hotel. The
veranda at tlm top of the steps
was a sort of farmers’ club, and
a number occupied the hard
chairs and rested their boots on
rail. Some talked in languid
voices, some smoked and med
itated, and a few frankly slept.
Cigar ends and burned matches
were scattered about the dusty
boards. Swarming flies crawled
across the shiplap wall.
So far, the farmers’ luck had

they knew the northwest, and
rejoiced soberly. The most part
perhaps used Ogilvie’s point of
view, and when Lawrence joined
them one said:
“I don’t know as I’m greedy,
but I like a square deal. I’m
paying the sum I fixed, and I
sure don’t see why the boys ask
more.”
“You can pay,” remarked an
other. “You ought to be glad

meet their bill won't cost you
much, and the main thing is to
get your wheat off the ground.

The station agent came up the_
steps, ana stopping ior a mom
ent, inquired: “Have you hired
all the men you want?”
“The hoys are putting the
Rerew on us; they reckon they’ll
wait,” a farmer replied,
“Then, I’d let them wait,”
said the agent. “We got a wire
from Winnipeg that a loconist
special’s on the line. She’ll come
through about 5 o’clock, and I
guess she carries a bully load of
harvesters.”
He gave the group a meaning
smile, for in Canada the colonist
cars are used by emigrants
laborers who cannot buy seeonM
class tickets. Perhaps a crowded
steamer had arrived at Montreal,
but Lawrence thought the rail
road officers had advertised a
harvesters’ cheap excursion.
About 5 o’clock he and Spiers
waited by the track. In the dis
tance a dark smoke plume rolled
across the plain, and by and by
metal sparkled in the tossing
dust. Then the black locomotive
began to get distinct, the smoke
blew away, and the long row of
grimy colonist cars rolled into
the station. Pushing figures
blocked the vestibule steps,
heads were thrust from windows,
and when the locomotive stopped
at the water tank a sweating,
dusty crowd, eager to escape for
a few minutes from the hot cars,
flowed across the track.
For the most part, the men
were not Canadians; Lawrence
noted their pallid skin, their
shabby clothes, and their jaded
look. They were tired, impover

down on the sidewalk and for

they had reached the golden
west, hut all they saw was a
wheel torn street, bordered by
mean wooden houses, and a
dreary sweep of gray, scorched
grass. Then the station agent,
pushing through a group by a
baggage car, gave Lawrence a
nod.
“The company means to see

Lawrence meaningly.
“When 1 like my boss I don’t

“You can fix the deal,” said
one, and Lawrence sent them to

BIBLICAL BUTTER
Butter wherever it occurs in the
Bible is chemah. signifying curdled
milk. In Deut. XXXII, 15, we find,
among the blessings which Jeshurum
had enjoyed, milk of kine contrasted
with milk of sheep. Butter was much
in use among the Hebrews and was
prepared as is done today by the
Arabs and Syrians, but it was not
used by the Greeks and Romans ex
cept for medicinal purposes.
The Arabs of Hejaz put milk in a
large copper pan over a slow fire and
a little sour milk or portion of the
dried entrails of a lamb is thrown in.
Milk then separates and is put in a
goat skin bag, which is tied to one of
the tent poles and constantly moved
back and forth two hours. The but
tery substance then coagulates, the
water is pressed out, and the butter
put into another skin. In two days
the butter is again placed over the
fire with the addition of a portion of
burgoul (wheat boiled with leaves
and dried in the sun) and allowed to
boil for some time, during which it
is carefully skimmed. It is then found
that the burgoul has precipitated all
foreign substances and that the but
ter remains quite clear at the top.
This is the process used by the Bed
ouins, and is also employed by the
settled people of Syria and Arabia.
The chief difference is that, in mak
ing butter and cheese, the towns
people employ the milk of cows and
buffaloes, whereas the Bedouins, who
do net keep these animals, use that of
sheep and goats. The butter is gener
ally white, of the color and consist
ency of lard, and is not much relished
by English travelers. It is eaten with
bread in large quantities by those
who can afford it, being taken in a
mass with a morsel of bread and not
spread as with us.
The butter of the Hebrews might
have been sometimes clarified and
preserved in skins and jars as at the
present day in Asia, and, when
poured out, resembles rich oil (Job
XX 17.) It acmiires a rancid taste
that is liked by the natives. All Arab
food considered well prepared swims
in butter and large quantities are
eaten independently of other food.
Butter and honey were used to
gether and were esteemed among the
richest productions of the land (Isa.
VII, 15) and Arabs use cream or new
butter mixed with honey as a princi
pal delicacy.

RAISING WINTER LAYERS
Prices of farm eggs as well as of
live and dressed-poultry are usually
highest during fall and the early win
ter months. Profits from the farm
flock can be materially increased by
taking advantage of this market situ
ation in handling the flock. Timing
production to the market demand can
be accomplished best by hatching
early and by having early maturing
strains.
Most of the revenue from the farm
flock is obtained from eggs. It is im
portant, therefore, to develop the
flock from good laying strains. This
requires careful selection of hens that
mature early, that lay best after they
begin, that seldom go broody, and
that lay well throughout the late
summer and fall.
The size of the flock is an import
ant factor to consider also. Main
taining about 200 or 400 birds enables
the flock to be devided to advantage
for breeding purposes. A flock of
200, for instance, can readily be di
vided into two units—50 yearlings and
150 pullets; and a flock of 400 into
100 yearlings and two units of 150
pullets each. The pullets are used
primarily for egg production and the
yearlings for breeding purposes. Year
lings are preferable to pullets as
breeder because usually they lay
larger eggs which hatch into bigger
chicks. Moreover, the yearling hens
have gone through a molt the preced
ing fall, and thus have had a rest
prior to the breeding season, and for
that reason they usually produce
stronger chicks than pullets. A still
more important reason for using
yearlings as breeders is that they
should be only the best birds of the
millet flock of the preceding laying
year, and the continuous selection
from year to year should assist great
ly in improving the quality of the pul
lets raised each year. Farmers should
give more attention to the selection of
their breeding stock every year and
flock units of about 200 or 400 birds
will enable them to do this to ad
vantage.
Since pullets normally do not be
gin laying until they are six or seven
months old it is important that they
be hatched early enougfr to permit
laying during the season of high
prices—from October to February.

HOW HAY *IS GRADED
The rules of the National Hay asso-1
ciation recognize 23 grades of hay,}
which seem to fall into five classes
—timothy, clover, wild grasses and al
falfa. Choice timothy hay must be;
sound, properly cured, of bright nat-j
ural color, not mixed with more than!
cne-twentieth of other grasses and
well baled. Lower grades of timothy
are Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and “no grade.’*
Clover hay has two grades, No.l and
No. 2. No. 1 clover must be medium !
clover, sound, properly cured, not J
mixed with more than one-twentieth1
of other grasses and well baled. {
Choice alfalfa hay must be reasonably!
fine leafy alfalfa o fbright green col-}
or, properly cured, sound, sweet and;
well baled. Other grades of alfalfa'
are Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and “no grade.”!
These rules are used by most cities;
that have official inspection.
A large percentage of the timothy1
on the market is graded below No. 1.
The reasons are that many meadows
are cut for years until they become;
weedy and mixed with other grasses ;
and that the hay is often cut too late,j
so that it loses the bright natural
color and palability. If the farmer
would send to market nothing but
what the feeder considers good he
would get a higher price. It might J

the country buyer also.
Timothy has the lead, especially
among city feeders, because it is not
only nutritious, but palatable and
nonlaxative, and the horse is not
likely to overfeed. Nevertheless other !
kinds of hay would often prove bet- j
ter for the feeder. Alfalfa for in- j
stance, has high muscle building!
qualities and is especially valuable1
for draft horses. It is highly rel- )
ished, however, and the horse may j
overfeed. Doubtless the feeder will in
time learn that hay from legumes j
has great value when properly used, j
Meantime the farmer is obliged to'
include clover and other legumes in
his rotation in order to maintain the '
fertility of his land. ,

hay should seek to produce the high-! |

MINERALS NECESSARY I
“In general, rations containing lib-,
eral amounts of skimmilk, tankage,)
fish meal or other protein supple
ments of animal origin will have
enough of the necessary mineral ele
ments, except common salt, to meet)
the needs of any class of swine," j
says a noted expert on porcine pro-i
duction.
“On the other hand, swine rations
made up entirely of materials from
the plant kingdom are likely to lack
lime and may also lack phosphor
us. Examples of such rations are
corn and soybeans or corn and soy
bean oil meal. Even with such ra-j
tions nothing apparently is to be
gained, except in special cases, by
adding other elements than calcium,
phosphorus , sodium and chlorine.
That being the case, the source of
these elements, their cost and the pro
portion in which to feed them are the
questions needing attention.

limestone of high calcium grade. One
of the best sources of phosphorus
is steamed bone meal, while sodium
and chlorine are added as common

will lack iodine. In these areas one
ounce of potassium or sodium iodide
should be added to each 100 pounds of
the mineral supplemennt.
“This simple mineral mixture can
be mixed on almost any farm at a
cost not to exceed $1.25 to $1.75 per
