HEART OF MUCHACHA
By CHARLIB W. CUNO.
Fbr the paat two trips the. stage
that tarried the bullion sacks from
the Golden Nugget mine to Sonora
had been robbed by a lone highway
man. Haskell, superintendent of the
mine, stood at the window of his dingy
little assay offloe and revolved the
matter In his mind.
Another consignment was ready tor
its trip down the mountain aide and Ha
immediate shipment waa imperative.
The guard that had been sent with the
bullion had each time proved w
a coward. Haskell knew not whom to
send.
into the range of his vision came
the graceful figure of Dolores, daugh
ter of Senora Valdes, the half-Mexican
boarding house keeper. She was the
one beautiful thing in all that barren
wllOerness.
"Muchacha," little child, her mother
Sled her still, although she had
iwn into slender womanhood. And
"Muchacha" she was called by all the
| rough, tender-hearted miners in the
j camp. They , worshiped her, perhape
, the one thing Mexican that they did
not hate in the whole district of Bo
nora. But of all of them there was
but one upon whotg she would even
cast a glance.
"The Boy," they called him. He
had drifted in from no one knew
where, a reckless daredevil, whose
face was so fair and boylike in con
trast to their rough skins that "The
Boy" Beemed as natural to say as if
he really had not reaohed man's ea-'
tate.
And it was to meet "The Boy" that
Dolores was tripping down the steep
trail to the mine tunnel.
The moment Haskell sai( her, aa
idea popped Into his head.
He opened the door. "Muchacha!"
he called. "Muchacha!"
The girl came obedient to his call..
"Will you tell El Senor 'Boy 1 that I
wish to see him," he said in Mexican
patios.
"Is it that the senor wished him to
go with the bullion tomorrow 1"
Has lull smiled. "Hush! Not a word
to anyone," he said. "Bat how did you
guess it, MuchachaT"
"Listen, noble senor," she said,
stubbornly, "he most not go, for if ha
is killed, I will be as one dead. My
heart will be broken. Listen, senor,
have you forgotten the day that 'I
warned you of ugly Pedro and hia
wicked knife T"
Haskell's face softened. "No, Mu
chacha mla, that I have not," he said,
earnestly. "You saved my life that
day. I said then if ever you should
ask of me a favor that 1 could grant I
would grant it. I will keep my prom
ise, but if you ask this of me whom
can I get to take the bullion to Bo
no ra?"
"I, Gran' Senor, it is I that will do
It"
"Ton!" he exclaimed, lnoredulcus-
"Think you I cannot shootT" she
cried, fearful, now that she had mad*
the resolve, that her request would
not be granted. "Lookl" She seised
the ptitol that hung In the holster by
his side and leveled at a bald eagle
that hovered almost overhead. At the
first shot the bird paused la Its flight,
; quivered and an Instant after oame
tumbling earthward.
'ls the senor convinced?" she cried.
"I am brave and besides, would the
bandit hurt a woman T she queried.
"If you insist, Muchacha, I cannot
refuse yob. It shall be aa yon say, but
—but, my heart misgives me. I —I—
If I could leave this cursed place I
would go myseU."
"I will not be hurt, and I have your
promise, have I not?" she cried gayly.
Tomorrow It is at nine, then? And,"
laughingly shaking her finger at him,
"tell It to no one. Good night, aenor.
Buenas Noches."
The next day the stage rumbled
away with but one occupeat, Mucha
cha and her bullion sacks. To her
side the superintendent had strapped
his plstoL Down through the canyon
the stage rumbled, and the cowardly
driver whipped np his horses, for it
was just around the next bend that the
robber had last held np the stage.
The horses rounded the head tn
safety and the driver was Just draw
ing a long breath of relief when—
Ping!—the off horse fell with a ballet
through his heart. The stage stopped
with a lurch and as It did so a masked
man sprang from the shelter of a rock
and advanced toward the stage, a pis
tol leveled In either hand.
An lnstaat afterward the door of
the stage opened and Muchacha stood
In the doorway. As she did so a sport
of flame came from the pistol la her
hand' and the bandit fell dead. Laugh
ing lightly, she ran to the prostrate
form and snatched away the mask
Her hand sought bar heart She
reeled. She almost cried out. It waa

A moment only did the shock
weaken her. She turned and walked
steadily to the stags.

COLORED ROUEN DUCKS
Good Qualities Make This Breed
Most Desirable.
Fine. Market Bird, but DOM Not Ma
ture aa Early as DOM the Pekln
or Ayleabury—ls Hardy
and' Prolific.
(By O. B. HOWARD.)
The Colored Rouen dock bl deserv
edly popular throughout this country,
and Is considered one of the most
profitable varieties to keep. These
ducks are said to have come originally
from the city ofßotfen, in Normandy.
It it known that large quantities of
poultry are raised la Normandy, and
while there may be no poalMve' proof
that these duck* came originally
from that city, large numbers of birds
closely resembling them are to be
found la the market places there.
Some writers claim that the name
should be "Roan" owing to their
colejr, but really the color Itself does
not support this contention.
The Rouen duck Is a line market
bird, but does not mature as early as
does the Pekln or the Aylesbury. The
flesh la considered very delicate and
the breed is acknowledged to be ex
cellent for table purposes. being easily
fattened. The Roaen will be found a
profitable bird to raise on the farm
being hardy, prolific, quiet of dispo
sition, and of very beautiful plumage.
Their eggs are not as large as those of
Trio of Colored Rouen Ducks.
the Pekln, and are diverse In color.
The Rouen is undoubtedly closely
related to the Mallard duck; Its
plumac* alone would make good this
belief. But the shape of the domesti
cated Rouen duofc has been greatly
modified from that of the wild Mal
lard, the body 1« grown longer and
heavier, with a tendency to drop down
in the rear, the Wings hare lost the
power of flight which the wild an
cestor possessed, the plumage, how
ever, remains almost the same.
Both the drake and dock clothed in
plumage attractive and pleasing to the
eye, are as much fancier's fowls as any
of the varieties of chickens, yet they
are of much value as market birds.
The only objection to them, aside from
their slow maturing Qualities, is that
of dark pinfeathers. This should got
stand against them any more than It
does against the many valuable varie
ties of chickens that have dark plum
age and dark pinfeathers. .To the far
mer who Intends raising ducks for
market purpose* they are to be recom
mended.
NEW POULTRY FARM STARTED
Seeond Experimental Station Located

Upon Praetloal Lines.
So Important has the poultry in

started a second experimental poultry
farm on his own account He wants
to And oat what are the beet breeds
and what la the best treatment and
management to make them most
profitable. He will not trust to the
experimental work bf the state of
Maine, New York, Ohio or any other.
He will have it done under his own
supervision, so that no mistakes will
be made.
His new poultry term Is located at
Beltsville, Md., some IS miles out of
Washington and beyond the Maryland
experiment station at College Park.
It Is being developed by the bureau
of animal husbandry along practical
down-'to-date plans, and the equipment,
while of good appearance Is simple
and inexpensive in character, so that
the veriest novice can copy the Ideas
without a great expenditure either of
time or money. Sixty aeree have been
aet aside for the poultry farm, but as
yet it Is only in the development stage,
and much has to be done before a real

tablished. Most of the bousee are of
the colony portable type.

RAISE LAMBS IN THE SOUTH
If Live Stock More Generally intro
duced Vacant Area Could B»
Greatly Increased.
(By D. T. GRAY.)
When one rides through parts of
the south and aees the thouaanda of
splendid acrea lying Idle, growing up
In brush and fine grasaea, one wondera
why there are not more aheep pro
duced in the south than there are. In
aome sections It la stated, not more
than 50 per cent of the total acres la
under cultivation. Money la tied up -
in the whole amount, however. If
aheep and other kinds of live stock
were more generally Introduced the
uaable area could be greatly Increased,
as theae animals would make use
of the present waste places and hill
aldea and help develop the pastare
side of our farming operatlona. The
aheep need not occupy one foot of the
present cultlvatable area; he would
but be the means of putting more
capital to work. Then In addition to
the fact that aheep la probably the
beat animal known to put the waate
areas to uae, tbe south la admirably
suited to sheep production.
In any line of live stock production
pastures muat be made the base and
the south can have permanent pas
tures about ten months In tbe year.
The remaining two montha ean be
bridged over with temporary paaturea.
Southdown Is Oead Bread for the
Southern Farmer.
Then too, tho climate of the south Is
so mild that the lambs can be born In
mid-winter and suffer none from the
cold, which permits the farmer to get
the lambs upon the early spring
market at the time when high prices
are realised. There If a good demand
for the early lamb. An excellent
market can always be found for good
tat stuff. %
The farmer wbo la interested in
more than one farm product suffers
very much less In time of unfavora
ble seasons than the man wbo grows
but the one crop, cotton. Even though
It be too wet for the eotton to do its
beet. It may be. and probably will be.
a very favorable season for the pas

raising some good fat lambs will not
worry so much about the unfavorable
season for eotton, aa be feels that, al
though the eotton may be a partial
failure, the sheep will bring him ex

There is yet another advantage in
the business. Spring is the

(By R O nONKOHUE, North Dakota
Agricultural Collrn.)
While all the cautna of low yields
of the smsll grains cannot be removed
practically *ll that are of Immediate
Importance con be'controlled In large
measure by a well-planned system of
crop rotation. When crops are grdwn
In rotation and proper tillage methods
ars followed, thsy will suffer less from
dry wssther than wben they ars grown
continuously.
Crop rotation la usually of more Im
portance than tbe methods of tillage
used In this respect, although both are
Important ' In most rotations more
roughage Is produced than can be dis
posed of by the work stock on ths
farm. Hence, more animals must be
kept and more manure produced to
return to tbe land to keep up tbe sup
ply of organic matter. The organle
matter In the soil may also be main
tained by growing grasses and le
gumes (clover, alfalfa, peas) in the ro
tation.
Inasmuch m not enough manure can
be produced on » (arm to kMp up ths
organic matter, no system of cropping
la compute unleat It contalna ona of
Uiaaa crops. Tba legumes bare tha
additional value of being able to In
crease the nitrogen content of the aoll
on wbleb they are grown.
