WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE — At the Warr.en ranch, the “Three Bar,” on the fringe of the ■‘cow country,” a stranger ap- 1 plies for work as a rider Williamette Ann Warren—known to all as “Billie,” is the owner of the ranch. The girl's father. Cal Warren, had been the original owner. The question whether the territory is to remain “cow country” or be opened to settlement is a troublesome one The newcomer is put to work Cattle “rustlers” have been troubling the ranch owners, the Three Bar, with a girl boss haying suffered more than others The new hand gives his name as Cal Harris. By bis announcement ! n favor of “squatters” he incurs the enmity of a rider known as Morrow. The will made by Cal Warren stipulated that naif the property should go to the son of his old friend. Wil- ! liam Harris, under certain conditions. The new arrival is the man, and he discloses the fact to liillife The girl is suspicious of her new rider and takes counsel with her friend, the ranch cook. I W:><i<ile«” He quiets her fears CHAPTER 11l Billie Warren heard the steady buzz of a saw and later the ringing strokes of an its. The men had departed three hours before to be gone for a week on the horse round-up but she had not yet issued from her own- quarters The ; music of as and saw was ample evidence that her new and undesired partner was making valuable use ot Mis time. She went outside and he struck the ax in a cross section of pine log as she moved toward him. “We’ll have to get along the best we can.” she announced abruptly | “Os course you will have a say. in the management of the Three Bar and draw the same amount for yourself that I do.” He sat on a log and twisted a ciga rette as he reflected upon this statement. “I’d rather not do that.” he decided “I don’t want x to be a drain on the brand—but to lielp build it up. Sup pose i just serve as an extra hand and do whatever necessary turns upin return for your letting me advise you on a few points that I happen to have worked out while I was prowling through the country.” i “Any way you like.” she returned “It’s for you to decide. Any money which you fail to draw now will re vert to you in the end. so it won t matter in the least” His reply was irrelevant, a delih erate refusal to notice her ungenerous misinterpretation of his offer. “Do you mind if I gather a few : Three Bar colts round here close and break out my own string before they get bask?” he asked. “Anything you like.” she repeated, j. “I’m not going to quarrel. I’ve made up my mind to that I’ll be gone the rest of rhe day.” Five minutes later he sa.w het rid ing down the lane. She wai not seek ing companionship but rather solitude and for hours she drifted aimlessly across the range, sometimes dismount Ing on some point that afforded a good view and reclining In the warm spring sun. Dusk was falling when she rode back to the Thrg£ Rar She heard tne sound of saw %nd ax as Harris worked up the dry’ logs info stovje lengths. At least he was inak ing good his word to the cook. The sounds ceased when rhe sun was an hour high and when she looked out to determine the reason she saw him working with four colts in one ot <he smaller corrals. He had fashioned a haekamore for each and they stood tied to the corral bars. He left them there and repaired to the big gates of the main corral The two swinging halved sagged until their ends dragged on the ground when opened or closed, necessitatins: the expenditure of considerable ener gy In performing either operation She watched him tear down the old support wires and replace them with new ones, stretching a double strand from the top of the tall pivot post® to the free ends of the gates Piscina a short stick between the two strands of heavy wire he twisted untH the shortening process had cleared the gate ends and they swung susfiend . ed. moving so freely that a rider could i lean from his saddle and throw them . open with ease. ■ This completed to his satisfaction he fashioned heavy slabs of wood to I serve as extra brake-blocks for the ■ chuck wagon. Between the perform ance of each two self-appointed duties he spent some little time with the colts, handling them and teaching them not to fear his approach, cinch fng his saddle on first one and then the next, talking to them and handling their heads. ' For three days there was little com munication between the two. It was evident that he had no intention of forcing his society upon her. In the afternoon of the third day she saw him swing to the back of a big bay. easing into the saddle without a jar. and the colt ambled round the corral, rolling his eyes back toward tn« thing clamped upon him but making no effort to pitch. He dismounted and stripped off the saddlg. cinched it on a second horse and let him stand, leading a third out to a snubbing post near the door of rhe blacksmith shop where he proceeded to put on his first I set of shoes. The girl went out and sat on the sill of the shop door and watched him. The colt pulled back In an effort to release the forefoot that the man held clamped between his leath-er-clad knees, then changed his tactics and sagged his weight against Harris. “You. Babe 1” the man ordered. •Don’t you go leaning on me." He pared down the hoof and fitted the shoe but before nailing li on he rwy

leased the colt’s foot and addressed the girl. “If I’d fight him now while he’s spoky and half-seared it would spoil him maybe.” he explained. “1 gentle-break mine, too.” she said and the man overlooked the inflection which, as plainly as words, was In tended to convey the Impression tha* his ways were effeminate. “If every man used up. his time gentling his string he’d never have a day off to work at anything else.” “Why, it don't use up much time.' he objected. “They halfway break themselves. Standing round with a saddle on and having a man handle them a little between spq|ls ot regu lar work —like cutting firewo»m <»no such. And it’s a saving of time in the end.- There's three hundred odd days every year when a man ctinsun.ee considerable time fighting every horse lie steps upon—if they’re broke that way to start.” “So your only reason for not rid ing them out is to save time.” she said. ‘lf you mean that I’m timid.’ hobserved. “why 1 don’t know as I’d bother to dispute it." He moved *>vei and sat on his heels facing her. twist ing the ever handy cigarette, “i.is ten." he urged “Let's you and I. try to get along -Now if you'll only n»“ke up your mind the Three Bur not even the halt o» it that's supposed to be mine—unless von get paid for it —why. were li-nl*-to gel le liking other real *ei in the end. I’ll give you a contract to that effect.” “Which you know would oe worth less!” she returned. “The will spe cifically stales that any agreements tietween us prior to the rime of divi sion tire to be disregarded A writ ten contract would have no’ more value than your unsuptmrted promis* and in view of what’s happened vov don’t expect me to place a value on that” He pulled reflectively at his ciga rette and she rather expected ano'hei of the irrelevant remarks with which he so often replied to her pointed thrustk “No.” he said at last. “But it's a tact that I don’t want the Three Bar —or rather I do if you should ever decide to sell.” “1 never will.” she stated positive ly. “It’s always been my home I’ve been away and had a good time; three winters in school and enioyhia every second: but there always comes a time when I’m sick to get hack wjhen I know 1 can't stay away from the Three Bar. when .1 want to smell the sage and throw my leg across a horse— and ride!” “I know. Billie.” he said softly. “1 was raised here, up until I was eight My feeling is likely less acute than yours but I've always hankered to get back to where the sage and pine trees run together. I mentioned a while back that 1 was tied up pecu liar and stood to lose considerable it I failed to put in two years <>ut here—which wouldn't have been of any par ticular consequence only that I found out that the Three Bar was going un det unless some one put a stop to what’s going on. I’ll pull it out of the hole, maybe, and hand It hack to you.” “You!" she flared. “Anu what can you do against it —a man that was raised in squatter country tiehind a barb-wire fence, who has to gentle his horses he can sit up on one. who has hitched a gun on bls belt because he thinks it's the thing t< do and has stowed it ir a place where he’d have to tie himself in » knot —ot undress—to reach it. And then you talk "of pulling the Three Bat out of a hole! Why. there are twenty men within fifty miles of here that would kill you rhe first move you made.” “There’s considerable sound truth

Bee Masters Not in Accord Over “Ringing”

The old bee masters differed great ly on the efficacy of the picturesque custom of “ringing” bees, according to a writer in the Detroit News Edmund. Southern’s "Treatise Concerning the Right Use and Ordering of Bees.' printed in 1594. says: “When the swanne is up it is no* good to ring them, as some doe nay it is a common thing where there is no experience to keep a stirre and lay on either with a Ba son. Kettle or Frying pan taking (as the common proverb is) great pains and have little thanks: for by such means they make the bees angrle and go further to settle than otherwise they would." Samuel Puchas, a rector in Essex at the time, wrote: “There is this benefit of ringing, that if you have neighbors neat you that keep bees you may give notice thereby to pre vent wrangling if some of theirs should rise at the same time. But it they will not be stayed, hut hastening on still, go beyond your bounds, the Fresh Water Cures Ducks “Duck sickness." such us occurs in various places in the semi arid West, due to uikali poisoning, can be pre vented by the introduction of fresh water. This, however, is not always possible and the only remedy in such instances is in collecting the sick birds before it is too late and placing them in fresh water. Such treatment has been found efficacious and most of the birds affected are rapidly restored to health.

n T ' < ? Un< l3 ' PRUNING DONE TO IMPROVE ORCHARD Simple Directions Are Givene to Help Orchardist. 6 Pruning is the first work of the setfson in the orchard and “is the first step to be taken in improving an old or neglected orchard. It is a waste of time and spray material to spray unpruned trees, as much diseased and Insect-infested wood is removed in pruning. Following are simple directiops for pruning: 1. Step away from the tree to get a good look at it. noting its general! shape and habit of growth. Keep its. form in mind while pruning. 2. Cut out all dead branches. 3. Cut out all branches which are badly diseased, or infested with in seets. 4. Remove the poorer of crossed and crowded branches. 5. Go over the entire tree with hand shears removing small branches here and there to admit sunlight and air evenlf to all parts of the tree. 6. Remove w«rer sprmits. Here are a few “don'ts” to keep in mind when pruning: 1. Don't head back. That is. do not cut the end of a limb off the top ot Ine tree in hope of controlling the length or height of its growth. ' 2. Don’t leave stubs when removing branches. 3. Don’t use the saw any more than necessary. Shears is the tepl wifti which an inexperienced pruner’etm do the least damage. Propagating Grapes by Cutting Is Best Plan The only method of propagating grapes, to be sure they will come'trut to name, is by cuttings. Grap<# : varieties, Os course, are not pure lines and therefore would not reproduce themselves. For instance, from the Concord grape you might either get a blue, a red. or a white variety It might be equal to. better, or inferior to the Concord in size and quality. It is not difficult to propagate the grape, however. Cuttings should be taken after the wood is well rii>ened this fall, making a cut at the base of a bud and allow two to three bulls to a cutting. These should then be jtied in bundles in a well-drained jdaco until early spring. Or. they can be placed in ft box of sawdust or saud anti put in a cold, moderately moist place. In tlfe spring the cuttings that have sur ■ vived should be set out in the garden, leaving only the top bud above the ground. At tlie end of the first or second year they can be transplant; ed to their permanent locatioij. Pruning Trees Good Job for Cold Weather Pruning of the trees should be looked after right away, it is sate to do so any time from now up to the time the leaves begin to expand. Thifining out the surplus branches will greatly aid ope in operating the sprayer when that time conies, and the job of spraying will be much more efficient, because the spray can be more evenly applied to the surface of both foliage and fruit. There will be very little damage to either fruit or tree if a film of the spray covers the surface of both. Naturally old apple'' trees that have not been pruned cannot be treated as effectively as those that do not carry so much bearing wood. Probably then the greatest gain obtained by pruning is indirect, that is, by making it easier to do a good job of spraying. Good spraying, will account for 90 or 95 per cent of the combined gain brought about by both pruning and spraying. Horticultural Facts Do not head-in or cut off the tops of twigs or brandies. • • * Do not try to change the habit ot the growth of the tree, nor take out enough wood to greatly alter its shape. • « • The scale insects cannot be killed by a* poison which will soak into the pores, as they are too well protected by » gummy scale of wax, beneath whi« u the insects operate. He-ltliy trees can be killed, in from two to three years, after they have become fncrusted with the scale pests which suck the sap and destroy the vitality of the trees, making them more susceptible to other diseases or insects. ♦ ♦ ♦ Cuttings of grapevines should be made in the fall, or at least before there is any starting of sap in spring. When made i . fall, there is time for a healing or callusing of the cut ends, sb a better stand may be had. • • The number of apples on an overloaded tree may be reduced as much as 25 or even 50 per cent, without reducing the yield. Tha.t means that you have just as many bushels of apples, but since the apples will be larger they will be more easily harvested and marketed. -• • • Grape cuttings will usually gi ve best percentage of stand when planted in heavy, or clay soil. Deeply worked ground is best, but spring plowing is not so good as that done the fall previous. • • •' Fall and winter are the seasons when dead and dying fruit tcees should be converted into fireplace fuel. They* are valuable for this use and are a menace to the other trees if left in the orchard. Borers and blister cankers are serious pests disseminated by dead fruit trees. i
