••died with spades, waist-deep, in a ;
tret.ch. Their bodies, clothed in thin,
titrated blue jackets. bent and re
covered with nearly automatic pre
cis n is they delved and cast up the
ran. Behind them a little mound of
fresh-turned earth grew rapidly.
Tc one side a third Chinaman stood
in af liude of imperturbable attention,
apparently overseeing the job He was
a large man. largely builded: taller
than Hiaclulock by at least three
inches. with disproportionately long
at i«s. large hands and feet In that
drearily illusive light he seemed a
giant. His face, to Occidental eyes,
was a yellow mask, brutally modeled
but quite devoid of expression.
Presently he uttered a single word
la Chinese, and the labor came to an
end He turned to Ulackstock.
"All ready." he said brusquely. ft

B’.aekstock inclined his b-ad. as if
doubtful. "How deep?" he asked
“Four feet."
illackstock appeared to reflect brief

stolidly.
I!e Issued instructions to his coun

The pi;Ikss brutality of the pro
ceeding. together with the sickening
thump of the body falling into the
trench, affected Coast momentarily
with a sort cf vertigo, with something
el .sely resembling nausea, and wrung
from him an Involuntary cry of horror.
Good God!” he said aloud—how loud
ly be soon realised.
Barely hod the words been spoken
when Blaekstock. as If galvanized,
whirled In Coast's direction. "Who’s

- ures darkly distorted with appre
hension. "Who spoke?”
His Ungers tore nervously at the
fastening of his oilskin coat; he jerked

In surprise the tall Chinaman turned
I toward him. “Who spoke?” he iter
ated, as If he had failed to catch that
to attack us. Give me the pistol and
1 will drive it off.”
As if to confirm the wisdom of this
suggestion as well as Blackstock's
fears, the dog at that Instant inter
jected a sonorous and savage growl—
which changed to a sharp yelp as a
bit of rock, flung with surprising ac
curacy by one of the grave-diggers,
landed on its sides. Confused and In
pain—for the blow must have been a
shrewd one—the blind animal
swerved, scuttled off, disappeared.
At the same time Coast was aware
that some object passed from Black
stock’s hand to the Chinaman's. A
second later a little tongue of reddish
flame licked out from the mouth of a
revolver held by the latter, and Coast
heard its vicious bark coincident with
a smart thud as the bullet lodged In a
beam immediately behind him.
It might have been poor markman
ship or fair; the Chinaman might have
aimed at the dog.

TWIST "rHAT MADE THE ROPE
In March of Labor-Saving Invention
Rope-Making Machine Was
Last on List.
There Is nothing more prosaic than
a rope, or that enters into a greater
uumber of homely occupations; and
yet in the march of labor-saving in
vention, a rope-making machine was
one or the last on the list. So long.
Indeed, did rope-making remain one
of the manual arts that the name of
the place where the work was done
has become Ingrained In popular
speech; and the rope factory, though
tn no way meriting the appellation. Is
still known in some quarters as the
'rope-walk."
Formerly It was considered a fact
worthy of note that the government
rope-walk at Boston could turn out
a rope 1.020 feet long.
A young workman in a rope-walk
saw that the twist should be applied
to the rope instead of the strands, ir
machinery was to tase the place ol
the hand in rope-making, and he re
alized lame apd fortune trom the con
ception His opportunity came with
'he proposition to grapple lor the
broken ends of the Atlantic subma
rine cable in the sixties
A rope fully 12.000 feet long was re
quired for the grappling, but the task
of making one of thi3 unbeard-of
length could not be undertaken seri
ously jj any rope-maker then tn the
business.
At this juncture John Good came
torward with a proposition to build
machinery trom his own designs and
make a rope in one piece as long as
was wanted
The offer seemed a bold one, but
was accepted. The machinery was
built. rope made, the break In
the cab.e found and repaired, and
telegraphic communication between
the old world and the new eetab
. Uabed.
LIVE STOCK IS BASIS OF ALL
SYSTEMS OF AGRICULTURE
Crops From Soil Furnish Nutrition for Animal Body and
Waste Products of Barns and Feed Lots Supply
Food for Plants—Neither Can Exist
Lons Without Other.
Prize-Winning English Shorthorn Steer.
Live stock is the foundation of all
systems of permanent agriculture and
agriculture is, in turn, the base upon
which rests the superstructure of all
national prosperity.
No country on earth has ever con
tinued to prosper without live stock
as a vitally important part of its ag
riculture and none can do so. The
crops from the soil supply nutrition
for the animal body and the waste
products of our barns and feed lots
furnish food for the plants. Neither
can long exist without the other.
The grain farmer flourishes for a
time, but with every load of grain he
sends to market he sells a portion of
his farm. If not during his lifetime,
then in the time of his children, will
his farm become worn and worthless.
High-priced land or high-priced
feeding stufTs should not shorten the
production of live stock. The cheap
■cattle of the ranges were possible
only because of the cheapness of the
land. With the increase in the price
of land has come nn improvement and
more genera! distribution of high
class cattle at.ad these are more prof
itable and more economical than the
range steer ever was or could be
come.
Farmers generally are a conserva
tive people and this is one of their
mcst valued characteristics, yet it
seems to stand in their own way at
times. The farmer who gives thought
to the matter can easily see how im
possible it is for him to nope for suc
cess in raising cheap, poorly bred and
hard feeding animals on bis high
priced land.
On the other hand, he can easily
see that a good animal which will put
on flesh rapidly and that of the high
est quality and which will reach a
marketable condition in a few months,
instead of several years, is the only
one he can afford to grow.
The farmer must have live stock
and present conditions demand that
he keep good live stock or fail.

PRACTICAL RACK
TO CARRY WOOD
Useful Implement May be Made
by Using Two Strong
Pieces of Timber as
Illustrated.
Directions for making a practical
wood rack, with an illustration, is giv
en in the Farm and Home as follows:
Take two 4x5 pieces of very strong
wood 11 to 12 feet long, and cut a
notch in each, so as to fit down over
hind bolster of wagon to prevent rack
from slipping backward or forward.
Use four or six standards on each side
and the same number of crosspieces,
so placed that the standard in going
down through the socket catches

against the end of the crosspiece, as
shown in cut. Make standards 3%
feet long. They may be cut off after
wards if desired.
Make standard sockets from old
wagon tires to admit a standard
I%x4 Inches and with holes for one
balf-Inch bolts. Bolt all - crosspieces
firmly. Have wagon near by when
making rack and place the rack
so far forward that in turning the
front wheels will just miss the end.
Care of Animals.
One of the pleasant duties of the
farmer on cold, stormy days is to look
after the needs of his live stock and
make it comfortable. There is enjoy
ment to be had on such a day to go
to a comfortable cow stable or shed
and feed and curry the cows. They
show by their looks that they appre
ciate it and I like to do it, says a
writer in an exchange. I believe that
It pays to have all animals comfort
able and well cared for. A farmer
will take more pride in them.
Exercise Necessary for Colts.
More than any other class of young
growing stock colts require and must
have plenty of exercise if they are to
grow muscular and strong.
Let them run out every day that
the weather will permit is the best
way of giving exercise, and with
good form and water, given regularly
| and liberally, a steady growth and
1 development may be readily secured.
WINTER SHELTER
FOR THE SWINE
Natural Instinct Is for Cozy
Quarters, Wliicli May be
Accepted as Suitable
for Them.
(By W. R. GILBERT.)
No animals enjoy freedom more in
the summer than hogs, but their
desires are altogether different in win
ter. The natural instinct is for cozy
quarters, which may be accepted as
altogether suitable for them.
No one need ever look for the pigs
on windy hill-tops when winter sets
in, but if any disappear they are al
most sure to be found in the best pro
tected -and snug spot within their1
reach.
Warning words are often given not:
to have sows farrowing in the short
est days, when cold weather prevails,
as they can make no progress against
low temperatures.
In summer pigs at large pick up a
great deal of their food in the fields.'
but little is available now that will do
them any good, and although those In
store condition may still be allowed
a run out daily, they should all be
housed at night and some altogether.
All being fattened for pork of
bacon should be kept in constantly.
And sows suckling little pigs should
never be allowed to take them out
and around as absolute shelter and,
constant comfort assist their develop
ment, while chills hinder or are in
deed dangerous.
Some have a fashion of letting the
pigs run about the yard in winter,:
sometimes shutting them in at night,,
and in other cases letting them find
their own accommodations, but this is
& bad way.
They certainly make themselves
most comfortable at times, but the,
exposure which is equally freely in
dulged in has the reverse of a satis
factory result, and it is much better
to confine them all to their proper
quarters.
These should be in good order, with
absolutely waterproof roofs and sur
roundings that will prevent draughts.
There should be no holes in the floors,
,as these make the bedding muck very
quickly, and comfort is thereby re
duced and progress impeded.
Value of Bees to Fruit.
All fruit growers should keep bees,
as they are vitally Important as poll
enlzers of fruit blossoms. And all
bee keepers should likewise grow
fruits, as they will greatly increase
the honey yield.
LIGHT NEEDED
FOR ALL TREES
It Influences Transpiration and
Conaeqaently Metabolism of
Green Plants — Other
Effects.
Light is said to be absolutely in
dispensable for the life and growth o?
trees. In common with other green
; plants, a tree. In order to live, must
! produce organic substance for the
building of new tissues. Certain low
forms of vegetable Hfe, such as bac
teria and fungi, do not require light.
Tbey exist by absorbing organic sub
stance from other living bodies; the
higher forms of plants manufacture
their own organic material by extract
ing carbon from the air. The leaves,
through the agency of their chloro
phyll, or green coloring matter, ab
sorb from the air carbon dioxide, and
give off a nearly equal volume of,
oxygen. The carbon dioxide la then
broken up Into tta elements and con
%
verted Into organic substances which
are used In building up new tissues.
Light also influences transpiration,
and consequently the metabolism of
green plants. It influences largely the
structure, the form, and the color of
the leaf, and the form of the stem
and it largely determines the height
growth of trees, the rate at which
stands thin out with age. the progress
of natural pruning, the character of
the living ground cover, the vigor of
young tree growth, the existence of
several storied forest, and many (other
phenomena upon which the manage
ment of forests depends. A thorough
understanding, therefore, of the effect
of light upon the life of individual
trees, and especially on trees in the
forest, and a knowledge of the meth
ods by which the extent of this effect
can be determined are eanential for
successful cultural operations in the
forest

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily, or Is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the U3e of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi
cated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart
ics and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
| remedy to regulate and strengthen the
j stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
! natural action makes it especially de
| sirable in the case of children, a dose
j at bed-time being sure to have the de
! sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sojd
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
| fl-00 bottles. If you have never tried
! this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W.

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS
“Some time ago I was taken with
, eczema from the top of my head to
i my waist. It began with scales on my
| body I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. 1 was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they bad
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
! untold agony and pain. I tried two
! doctors who said I had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
"I suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
1 the best skin cure there Is.” (Signed)
Miss Mattie J. Shaffer, R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy, Miss., Oct. 27, 1910.
“I had suffered from eczema about
four years when bolls began to break
out on different parts of my body. It
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
| spread over my face. The itching was
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One box of them cured me entirely. 1
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
| eczema, and they completely cured her
: baby.” (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber

“Where did you get it?” was the re

“Oh, the doctor brought it.”
“Now, why,” queried the thrifty lit

It Was Cured.
Mrs. W. R. Cody, 603 Tenth St.,
Lewiston, Idaho, says: "I was so
lame and sore I could ’hardly move.

whole body bloated. I
had chills and hot
flashes and my an
kles swelled so I
could scarcely wear

secretions bothered
me and my nerves
were unstrung. I be
gan taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and
soon the swelling diminished. The
backache and other troubles quickly
disappeared, and I was completely
cured.”
