They skirted a great swamp and a pond on the edge of which they could see through the brush a number of deer and a moose well-wor- Suddenly they came to a feeding. deer path leading down to the water. Amos stopped and pointed to a tree leaning over the path. "See that old whelp?" he whispered. Looking upward Robert saw a great cat with black tufted ears, crouched on a lower limb. Seeing that he was observed, the cat, without stirring emitted a low, ominous growl. Amos smiled and whispered again: "He says: 'Ye varmints, tend to yer own business an let me alone.' He's a lynx and he can tear the roof off deer in about a minute. A brother We'll go out o' the Tarratlnes! around him. I don't want to see him Jump." They came to a clump of moose-wooand Amos cut an armful of the lithe bushes and stripped their bark, storing It In his pack. They reached r river at nightfall the big after hours of the most cautious travel. Amos made no stir here until he had listened with head above and below the water. The river was more In width with than two little current, ne rigged a small raft out of fallen trees, covering it with the bark of a dead spruce and lashing bark It with the lithe, strong, rope-lik-e of the moosewood to his under timbers. After that he made long leashes of the bark. "Now we'll undress and put our goods on this little raft and swim across to the p'Int o' woods a little below us. Te got to swim as still as a fish and keep yer flukes under water. I reckon the raft will be an easy tow." Tliey undressed and put the leashes over their Bhoulders and when It was quite dark they waded to deep water and stood a moment listening. They heard only a drag of wild geese going over far above them. Their bugling splashed Into the silence. The men swam slowly In the black water. When they were half across a great horned owl shot off his arquebus, loaded with scattered shouts, that set weird echoes flying far and wide In the forest. They landed safely, dressed themselves and a little way on hy down for the night. "We'll ko no farther," snld Amos. "It's like rldln a blind Jade In bad goln' after dark."

It was a little Island with scarcely an acre of land above water and that thickly overgrown with evergreens and white birch. They found a low hollow In mossy rocks near its middle d part on one side of which was a well-roofe- cave reaching backward quite two fathoms. Here Amos built a small fire and broiled a good quantity of the deer's flesh In his pack. This they ate with a keen relish. Their store of meat was put on a rack of green sticks over hot coals to dry In the heat and smoke. A wind came up and heavy waves from the west began to break" on the island. Lying back comfortably on a blanket, with his pipe going, the old pioneer said: "I snum! And thanks to the Lord! Amos Is hnppyf Fear has let go o his hand.

John W. Schwab of Purdue university, Indiana,, cites the feeding trials conducted at that station during the last four summers. The iver-ag- e beginning weight of all pigs was 72 pounds. In the lot where the pigs were fed corn alone, the average gain per bead was only 52 pounds. Those pigs required an average of 114 bushels of corn to produce 100 pounds of gain and weighed an average of only 124 pounds at the end of a fetolng period. Another lot was fed corn on' clover pasture. The pigs gained 121 pounds per head and required 6Vi bushels of corn for 100 pounds of gain. Two other lots In this trial were fed corn, tankage and clover pasture and corn, soypigs, 90-da- y beans, minerals and pasture The pigs In the tankage lot gained ISO pounds per head and In the soybean and min eral lot 147 pounds per hi;ad- - The final weights of these hogs were 222 pounds and 219 pounds.
