f"i-n thousand sin-oleums to the

sat in the club and made rapid passes
at a light luncheon.
"S'irct thins you know," I an

dling arter the ponies and his pocket
hook is leaking like a scutMed ship."
"IJusy I'nclo Peter, of all the conie

"lt the goods. Hunch." I answered.
"Ever since that little filly. Peaches,

has had colts in the hat-block. The

only win he has made so far is ."0
eenti; car tare the da he had to rtny
home and nurse his rhu:naiism."
Hunch laughed t-o earnestly that one
of the lamb eiops hopped r.ff the plate
and started to leaw the room.
"And you. John'.'" he inquired when
L" got back, "what hi-ve the e.tptains
of industry been doing to you since 1
saw you thr c inoiiths ag'i?"
"To me!" I answered, thiov.i.g the

intjuned.
"Yes." I answered. "Still in the
foothills. You must come out and
camp v. ith me in the bungalow for a
week or two. Hunch. The fri sh air
will do you good."
"Thanks, John; I do need a rest af
ter that South American trip. Yerv
likely I'll take a long bieath and rush
out your way the latter part of next

"Latter part of next week." I ech

Uncle William Gray and Alice are ex
pected home from Europe about that
time anil they have a castle in the
cornfield next to ours tush. Hunch,
tush!"
Hunch put on a little pink around
the gills.
"When sue yon and Alice going to
'trot in double harness. Hunch?" I
asked. "Seems to me you've been
dodging the minister about long
:enoiigh now!"
"I'm for a license the next minute
after I overcome Tncle William's ob
jections." Hunch answered, mourn
fully. "He says Alice is too much to
the kindergarten to leave home yet.
Say, John. I'm afraid the old gentle
'man handed out the set-back just be
cause he doesn't approve of me."
"Saw that off," 1 said; "why. you're
;white all the way through. Hunch, and
'Uncle William knov.s it. Alice is the
apple of his eye ami he likes to hae
his apple where ho can see it; that's
.all. Hunch. You'll get her all right, if
'1 have to go and drag her away my
.self." Hunch laughed and changed the
subjei t.
"And do you mean to tell me you
fell heir to a fancy dust-thrower like
that Peaches filly a:xl never sent her
lout after a wad of real inone;. ?" he
'imiuireil. "Why, somebody ought to
take you by the ear and scold you!"
"Xi. Hunch." I answered; "I sold
Peaches to Murf Higginbottom, the
trainer; soaked the rake-off in a slice
of real estate and today I'm away to
the good. Honest, Hunch. I'm now
about six blocks up Easy street, and
.walking fast. Sometimes when I think
of that little bunch of bills in the
bank 1 get so stuck on myself 1 want
to run over to Philadelphia and laugh
at the mint."
"Oh. slice your cake. John!" chirped
Hunch. "I've seen you with a bundle
of money before now. but the snow
drifted in the safe, nevertheless."
Hunch is the original Human Frost.
It tickles him to throw icewater on
j.he warm babies.
"It strikes me queer," P.unch went
pn after a pau?e; "that you'd sell
Peaches after she got so busy in that
big race and handed you out such a
fancy finish!"
"I didn't exactly sell Peaches." I
nnswercd. "Murf Higginbottom. the
Kentucky ge'man. hauled in a large
wad on that very race, so for a cash
consideration I let him have Peaches
for three years. He'll treat her white,
you can bet on that. Clara J. and I
intend to save up, and at the end of
three years we'll have a heme for
Peaches, and she won't have a thing
to do but pull a six-pound dog-cart
once or twice a week, and bite her
way through all the hand-painted or.ts
she wants for life!"
"It seems pitiful." sighed Hunch,
"to see a man get his hooks into a
streak of luck and thea let go of the
hooks."
"Blame it all on the wise little
Gazaboine who answers roil call when
you mention Clara J.," I :mered.
"She figured it out that the amount
she won by accident just about broke
even with the various sums I've lost
by design, so 'John. says she. 'cut
your cables and drift away! drift
away!'"
"And you drifted." laughed Bunch.
"Say. Hunch, do you expect me to
Bit on the doorstep of a foolish heuse
all my life?" I inquired. "Don't you
think I owe it to my wife and my rela
tions to put the pipe down once in a
while and pretend I'm awake? What
do I know about horses? It was Murf
who turned the trick, and if I had
followed it up it was me for the cold
Btorage, sure. It would have been a
case of Airship Hike, up and away as
the crow flies for little Johnny's
money. There's only one cinch at the
track, believe me. Bunch, and that's
the bookmaker. Ho's the only one
down there who can keep a ten-spct
long enough to look at the pictures on
it"
"Wait, John." Bunch broke in;
"I've got a great and original idea!"
"He kind to it. Hunch; it's in a
strange land." I admonished.
"You say Uncle Peter is going the
pace that kills the bookies with joy?"
"The old man is on the hot-foot,
sure thing." 1 answered. "Of course,
he's not really lik3ly to go broke be
cause he has so much money that the
only way he couid lose it all is to drop
it in a well. Nevertheless, it's pain
ful to wateh him going up against the
breakers every day and having it put
all over him till his financial system
is black and blue."
"What do the home folks think
about it?" inquired Hunch.
"Up to now they aren't wise to the
fact that Uncle peter is so busy at the
bonfire!" I answeied. "There's a
strong smell of s;"oke about his bank
account, but theie's ben no alarm
turned in. Aunt Martha has noticed
great changes in Uncle peter, how-

very pleasant company around the
house, but now when he rolls home of
an evening the first thing he does is
to take a running kick at the cat, and
then he drops into a Morris chair and
barks sullenly at the landscape til!
the hash whistle blows. How about
that idea of yours. Bunch?"
"I'll be there in a minute," Bunch
replied; "first of all. John, do you
want to cure Uncle Peter or this race
track habit?"
"Don't ask me riddles. Bunch," I
snapped; "wouldn't you work overtime
to stop a dippy relative from shovel
ing his gold dust into another man's
cellar? Sure. I want to cure him;
but how? I tried to stiggest to him
quietly on several occasions that he's
sip against the squeezers, but Uncle
Peter just cut off a cackle and said he
knew his business. I told him that a
man had to learn the horses back-
"Never, No More! Every Penny I
Have Is Nailed to the Floor and the
Floor Gees Into the Safe at Sun
Down." wards and sideways, going and com
ir.g. from Alpha to Omaha, before he
could hope to pull down any sure
money, bat he dismissed the subject
by saying he was on his way from
Alpha to Omaha now. and. besides, if
he wanted to pitch a bit of money
overboard, It was his own he was
ritching. What can you do with a
clothespin like that? He has the
fever. Uncle Peter has, and it will
take heroic measures to cool him off."
"How would you like to be the ice
bag?" said Bunch, quietly.
"What's the gag. Bunch? Are you
leading me up to the center so you
can ask me for a foolish answer?"
I growled.
"Xix now, John," Bunch responded;
"didn't you say a few minutees ago
that the only real breadwinner at the
track is the bookmaker?"
"That belief for mine," I answered.
"Well, why don't you take a hand
and gather in Uncle Peter's loose
change?" Bunch went en.
"I become a bookmaker!" I gasped.
"Sure," said Bunch; "isn't it the
shell road to wealth? Isn't it Cinch
into your parlor and get his roll,
avenue all the way to the bank? All
you have to do is to coax Uncle Peter
After a while when the old gentle
man's fit of coughing is over and be
backs away from the fight, disgusted
and sick of it, you can hand him his
money, minus the commissions, and
give him such a shock of joyous sur
prise that he'll stand on his head and
thank you with both feet."
It sounded like a wise wheeze.
"But Uncle Peter would recognize
me, and it would be all to the frizzle,"
I cried suddenly. "Clara J. wouldn't
fancy It if she learned I was fooling
around the track again after she had
squared matters for me and put me
even. I guess I'd better let Uncle Pe
ter plod along to the poor-house," I
added, sadly.
"Xonsense, Joha," chortled Bunch.
"You don't have to appear in the mat
ter at all. Besides, I'll take a hand
m the game myself."
"You be the bookmaker, that's it;
fine. Bunch, fine!" I yelled.
"Xot exactly." he broke in; "but I
can get a fly lad named Ikey Schwartz
to stall for us. Ikey Is a member in
good standing of the Bookmakers'
Brotherhood and Burning Money
Hunters' association. I've known Ikey
for years, and. since our object is
purely philanthropic, I'm sure he'll
be glad to give us the helping mitt."
"What'll it cost to put this produc
tion on. Bunch? I'm quite willing to
rush to Uncle Peter's rescue, but I'm
not eager to sprain my ankles in so
doing." I said.
"We won't take a single chance,"
Hunch answered. "Before we go any
further. John. I must tell you that my
motives are not wholly unselfish. I've
got an idea that if I can make myself
solid with Uncle Peter he may be
induced to square me with Uncle Will
iam Gray, and thereby enable me to
lead Alice away w the little old log
csbin of our own."
"Urop that plate; it's hot. Bunch." I
said. "Uncle Peler Grant and Will-
iam Gray never speak as they pass
by. You've picked out the wrong an
swer." "I know all about that," Bunch
came back, "but Uncle William has
great faith in Uncle Peter's judgment,
just as hard. However, I'll take a
long chance on all that. How much
looc coin have you, John?"
"About $3,000 loose, besides the
bundle that's working in the real es
tate business; but that's tied up so
hard I can't get at it," I answered.
"All right," Bunch went on; "we'll
be equal partners in this deal. It'll
take about 10.000 to make the pic
ture icok right."
"What!" I yelled; "me risk $3,000
to teach Uncle Peter how to behave!
Xot on your horoscope! If Uncle Pe
ter wants to take a walk on the road
to niin I'm not going to flag him
not when it costs me $3,000 to buy the
flag, nix!"
"Wait! wait!" Bunch broke in;
"feel for the soft pedal and come back
to Quiet Valley. Didn't I tell you we
wouldn't take any chances? Do you
suppose I'm dead anxious to chop up
my money and feed it to the pigeons?
You leave this to me, and I'll guar
antee you'll save Uncle Peter and be
a hero to your family forever and
ever. Are you game? Say the word
and we'll hunt up Ikey Schwartz!"
"Light the gas. Bunch; I'm with
you." I said.
And we shook hands on it.

Want Bounty on Squirrels.
Since the bounty on squirrels was
stopped several years ago the little
pests have greatly increased in num
bers until the question of handling
thorn has become of vital importance
to the welfare of all growers of grain
and egetables.
Every fanner has to devote from
five to fifteen days each year in fight
ing squirrels, and the annual cost of
poison to each farmer averages $5.
During the operation of the former
squirrel bounty law the animals be
came quite scarce in this section, for
xen often made wages in the spring
by a systematic campaign against the
squirrels. The amount of damage
caused each year in this county by
squirrels runs into many thousands of
dollars, causing a consequent decrease
in the amount of grains, grasses and
vegetables produced and an increase I
in the cost or production. Colville

Elastic Roads in Switzerland. ;
An interesting experiment has been
made with promising results at Zu-1
rich. Fine gravel, the grains averag
ing from one-twentieth to one-twelfth
of an inch in diameter, the whole
carefully fi-eed from earthy sub
stances, was coated ia a revolving
drum with tar. These pellets were
then carefully dried and hardened, and
after eight or ten weeks were spread
during dry weather in a thick layer
upon a prepared roadbed and rolled.
The road thus formed is inexpen
sive, possesses a certain elasticity and
is said to withstand well the effects
of heavy traffic. The desirability of a
slightly elastic road for saving wear
and tear and suppressing noise is evident.

The milk from a cow in a poor run

The cream separator, the silo and

The feeding of clover hay to poultry

Scales are a good thing for a man
to have. They enable him to know

Ewes that go Into their winter quar

There is often a tendency on the

A variety of crops certainly adds to

If you have plenty of pasture and

It Is estimated that 90 per cent of

sugar and other fat-rorming matters.
Wheat and barley straw are not quite
so valuable.
Get the very best seed you can find,
put the crop in good condition. This
eeason promises to be very favorable
for planting and most farmers will be
able to plant much earlier and with a
better prepared seedbed than usual.
Much corn is annually injured by ear
ly autumn frost because the crop was
planted too late. In most sections
there will be little excuse for late
planting this jcar.
Horses should not be compelled to
wear their winter coats of hair any
longer than necessary. Farmers,, as
well as horsemen, should have their
horses clipied as soon as they are ex
pected to do spring work. It is true
the horse sheds his winter hair, but
Eometimes the shedding is not as fast
as it should be. Should the horse be
out of condition the shedding process
is naturally slow. He sweats badly
and does not dry out well at night.
Clipping is both humane and sensi
ble. Horses which are not clipped un
til the weather is warm and which
are properly blanketed and protected
when necessary are not in any danger
of taking cold.
Spray for soft scale.
Buy only the best seeds.
Plant some strawberries this spring.
If a hen Is very sick, it scarcely pays

Stables should be well lighted and
so arranged that the light will not

Few farmers and poultrymen know
about the feeding value of bright,
wcll-cstred clover hay for laying hens.
You can not make a greater mis
take than to confine your breeding
ducks, especially if they are Indian
Runners.
One of the very important things to
do this month Is to make your selec
tion of seeds and plants and order
them now.
Pruning apple trees Involves so
many principles that only the most
general survey can be given In a short
discussion.
The dairy cow Is one of the best
money makers on the farm; but, like
aliens, she pays enly according to
"value received."
The Holstein. the Ayrshire and the
milking shorthorn arc the best breeds
for the milk farmer to raise. For
cream select the Guernsey.
Good comfortable housing and judi
cious feeding are the two cardinal
principles of successfully wintering
the breeding ewes.
The value of skim milk on the
farm when fed in conjunction with
grain Is greater than it is usually
given credit for being.
It is a good time now to take an In
ventory of your farm and plan to keep
records of all transactions connected
with your farming operations.
Don't be in a hurry to get rid of the
old bull. Remember that he has prov
en himself and the calf that you buy
will be more or less of a lottery.
A chilled egg will bring forth a
weak chick if it hatches at all and a
weak chick that has hard work to live
is sometimes worse than no chick at
all.
During the breeding season mate
one drake with four ducks until the
last of April, then diminish the num
ber of drakes to one drake to five or
six ducks.
The matter of keeping records is im
portant. The farmer should be able
to take account of stock at the be
ginning of every year, the same as
any merchant does.
The lack of success which so many
'armers have with chickens In largely
due to a lack of planning, and they
neglect to give the fowls the attention
these plans call for.
Anyone can easily see that bone Is
one of the best feeds for producing
ggs. as the fat assists in forming the
volk of the egg and also in sustain
ing the fowl in winter.
The possibilities of the best seed
corn are so large in yield that farm
ers cannot afford to jeopardize the
most valuable crop on the premises
by neglect In the matter of thorough'
tests for strong germination of the J
scd.
Plan well for your hatching season.
If you are going to use an incubator
for the first time rommence to plan
for it now. Ascertain what make will
be best suited to your needs, and
then secure one. set it to running,
put eggs in it. and make an experi
mental hatch before the time comes
when you expect to do your best work
and cannot afford to lose valuable
time. If hens are to be your means
of hatching make a gocdly number of
nest boxes for your layers so that
when one becomes broody she can
have eggs put under her and closed
up to prevent other hens from dis
turbing her.
