Now that is the position sighed
Kitty. She leaned her pretty tear
stained face forward and sighed. Mrs
Chevenix laughed little, then
yawned.
She was a pretty little thing, Kitty
Gascoigne. A fair-haired fluffy little
person, with pair of appealing blue
eyes and soft babyish face. She
was the wife of George Gascoigne,
man upon whom the powers that be
looked with high favor, man who
was climbing slowly but surely the
great ladder of success.
Kitty Gascoigne and Olive Chew
enix had struck up a warm friendship,
possibly because they were such op-
posites, this woman who loved her
husband and the other woman whose
f1irtations no man could number.
George used to be fond of me"
continued the little wife; ''he was per

ty with flashing eyes. He ought to
think of me before everything"
The elder woman lost her sneer.
She also in the years that the locusts
had eaten had loved and been miser-
able, and she was sorry for little
Kitty.
There's only one force in the
world stronger than ambition" she
replied, slowly, land that's jealousy.

men would read with attention and

himself-"success at lasti" He heav-

himself as one does who throws off
a burden. To-day had brought George

of Agriculture at Washington has

Two lots Of crimson clover were

$5.75 per bushel; lot $3.50 per bush

cents per bushel, and in this case
the cheaper seed proved the better of
the two.

Corrosive Subiimate for Potato Scab.
On the treatment of potato scab a
government bulletin says: Corrosive
sublimate. or bichloride of mercury
is white crystalline substance, re-
sembling salt, which can be bought
from any druggist. To make the So
luton, place one ounce of this chem
ical in one gallon of hot water and
after allowing it to stand ten or
twelve hours until dissolved, dilute
with more water to make seven gal
Ions. This solution should be made
in wooden or earthen, rather than
metal dishes, since it corrodes metals
The seed potatoes are to be soaked
one and a half hours in the solution
The disinfection may be done at any
convenient time previous to planting
In fact, after experimental use of this
solution for several years we are led
to recommend that the disinfection be
done several weeks before planting,
since it may retard termination
somewhat when used just before
planting. In using this solution it
must be remembered that it is dcadly
en- internally. 1t is not poisonous to
the skin, however.
Agricultural Building for OREGON.
The Oregon Agricultural College has
been enlarged by the addition of a
$4,000 building, for specific agricul-
tural purposes. 1t is handsome
building three and half stories high,
125~ feet long by S5 wide, and having
35 900 square feet of floor space On
the first floor are the livestock judg-
ing room, 40 feet square, and the
dairy department. The second floor
has large hall to be used as an as
sembly room for conventions and for
special lectures to students in agri-
culture In addition there are here
class rooms, offices and laboratories
On the third floor are located the de-
partments of botany, entomology and
horticulture The entire south wing
of the building, including the three
stories, is devoted to chemistry. The
offices of the experiment station will
also be on the second floor. The up
per floor will be used as a general
museum.

a Good Example.

One great reason why men do not
do peter than they do with dairy
cows is that the cow keeper does,
not know what he is doing. c. p
Goodrich, of Wisconsin, tells of one
incident connected with his cow CEN
sus reported at Menomonie last year.
The herds were numbered, and in
making the report only the numbers
were read, it being fully understood
tnat the men with poor herds would
not care to have that fact advertised.
The poorest herd of all was number
f. This herd actually lost money on,
the feed cost of maintenance, though.
evidently its owner did not mistrust
it, After the close of the meeting a.
young man sought out Mr.. Goodrich
and asked him the number of his own
herd in the report. The questionerl
was astonished to learn that his herd
was number four. He said that he
would either improve or go out OF
business. During the year that young
man has been disposing of his poor
cows and getting better ones, besides
feeding better. His report this year
shows that he has made good profit,
on each COW, his total receipts being
more than. double this year what they
were last, on fewer cows.
young farmer. Mr.. Schley, stood
up and said that last year he had a
herd of cows that averaged only $19
per COW in receipts for milk at the
creamery He had sold all of those
COWS and bought grade Guernseys-
During this last year his receipts for,
milk at the creamery had averaged
s63 per cow He also gained in cost
of maintenance, as it cost him three
cents less per day to feed the good
COWS than the poor ones.

the total waste. The amount of seed
that would grow is shown in the last
column. This was an exceedingly poor
