ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL EPISODE
~ ETTY RAwLINs had ban

TN ETTY RAWLINS had a bank
JCO account, and a huge one at
that. But Betty had a greater
fortune in her face, for she was as
pretty as a spring beauty, and though
she was perverse and pouty when she
wanted to be she was ordinarily as
sweet as violet.
Betty lived in the summer time at
Lowland Glen, not many miles remov-
ed from Fort Sherman, big garri-
s.n with enough young officers on
duty to fill the ranks Of a company
had they been forced to drop the sword
and shoulder the Krag-J Jorgenson.
Betty loved the miltary-what girl
doesn't?-and if the truth be told
Betty's heart was set on marrying into
the soldiery, but she had made up her
mind secretly that he couldn't think of
looking at anything less than colonel,
and when she thought Of it she sigh

Betty was only 10, mind you.
There was young Roy Lanyard sta

mighty good looking, Betty admitted
this to herself and it wouldn't be &
bit hard to love him, but Roy was
only captain, and nothing but {
colonel would do. Captain Lanyard, t.

thought. 1t was jusI Betty herself
that he wanted, but he didn't dare say
SO.
Now Betty had another failing, not
uncommon among American girls not
old enough thoroughly to understand
that Yankee husbands are the best in
the world, and that was firm belief
that the ideal condition in maifled life
would be that which would come from
husband who was combination Of
Englishman and English army officer.
"The colonels are younger over there"
said Betty to herself, land they are
all of aristocratio family, and, oh
well, Englishmen are just too lovely
for anything"
The summer colony at Lowland Glen
was unusually large that season. There
were punches Of swell doings, as the
slangy Yale counsin of Betty would
put 1t. The army officers from Fort
Sherman We're much in evidence, and
one young captain In particular was
very much in evidence In the vicinity
of Miss Betty Rawlins. Betty saw the
evidence clearly, ana how she did wish
that the president would retire some
few hundreds of superior officers SO
that Roy Lanyard could tack the alb

Of his name.
One day there was excitement at
Lowland Glen. Mrs. Calumet had in.

army officer, to spend the month with
them at their summer home. The
news reached Betty the morning after
the arrival of the Calumet's two
guests. Twenty young women had
told her about it. Let the girls alone
for spreading news of this kind. "And

SKIING IN AMERICA.
Americans Are backward In Many OF
the BeEt Winter Sports and
Miss n Lot of Fun.

1t is a mistake to suppose that SKI,
ing can be enjoyed only by our Can
adian friends, says Country Life in
America. Everyone who lives in
hill country where there is any snow
at all should try this exciting pas
time. \ pair of skis and pole cost
about a dollar and a half. The run
ners are usually six or seven feet
long, about four inches wide, and the
pole may be ten or twelve feet in
length. On account of the small eX-
pense and informal nature of the
sport, skiing is just the thing for those
parts of the United States where the
winter is essentially a changeable sea-
son. Some sports may demand a
steady winter; skiing does not. In
certain parts of the United States ski
ing has already Caught on" For ex-
ample, a good many of the Cornell
students carry their skis to the class
room and slide home on them. In the
mining camps of the upper Michigan
the Swedes and Norwegians come fly
ing down their race-courses, shoot off
a sort of spring board, rise to a thrill
ing height and achieve an astonishing
leap before they tumble into the wait
ing snowbank. But the ski is a good
thing for everyday use and fun. One
can pole along on the level fairly well
in almost any kind or depth of snow,
and on a crust skis are quicker than
snow-shoes. Skis cost less than a
good pair of skates or good bob
sled, and they furnish n novel meth
cd of sliding down hill. 1t is easy to
learn. Two or three tumbles do the
business. If you get one foot well
ahead of the other you are certainly
a "goner." The man who leans back
is likely to have a laughahle mix
up" 1t is best to stand erect, or
crouch forward so as to brace one
self. The pole is trailed. .behind and
used to steer by.
The people of the United States are
provincial in the matter of winter
sports. We have been missing "a lot
of fun" and il is high time that we
look to skiing.

FLOWING UNDER CROPS.
The Value of Green Manuring Not
Fully Appreciated by Many 9th
erwise Bright Farmers.

There are plenty of farmers who
do not believe in or practice green
manuring. They think it a better
and more profitable plan to harvest
d crop, whatever it is, and feed it to
animals. They also hold that the
process of soil amelioration by this
means is too slow, and takes alto
gether too long. These and other OBJ
jcctions to green manuring are plaus-
ible and rather hard to refute. Still
the fact remains that favorable re-
suits are often obtained by blowing
under green crops. Sometimes a
farmer has land that is deteriorat-
ing under annual cropping, and he
cannot well put it in condition to
return a profitable cultivated and
harvested crop. He may have used
all available homemade manure, and
it may not be convenient to purchase
concentrated fertilizers.
In such a case, rather than let the
land go fallow, he may find it to his
interest to cover it with some crop
on purpose to plow it under. One
advantage of this course is its ex-
treme cheapness. 1T costs the farm
er practically nothing but the seed,
the labor of blowing the ground at
the time of sowing, and again when
the crop has made a suitable growth.
Something is gained by the improve
ment of the mechanical condition of
the soil, by preventing the growth
of undesirable weeds which would
otherwise have taken possession of
the land, and by increasing soil fer
tility to some extent. The addition
of humus by the decay of the crop
is in some soils of great Importance.
The argument that no fertility is
added to the soil by simply return
ing the crop that grew upon it does
not apply to a legumiEous crop, that
is able to draw a large part of its
support from the air. If the plan
of green manuring is not followed
under any other circumstances, il
is certainly advisable to SOW some
hardy crop on the removal of a har-
vested crop, to remain through the
winter as a cover and be plowed down
in the springs. b. Reach, in n. Y.

is almost universal in old people.

the unfortunate Caroline in these
words:
'She has quick parts, without dis d.

conception, but no judgment; caught
by the first impression, led by the
first impulse. Talkative, prone to
confide in missish friendships that
last "a hours. Some natural moral
ity, but no strong notions of is
value nor of its necessity. Without
a grain of dignity or an idea of de-
corum."

other instead of being united into an
ear. However, in the United States,
the plant seldom flowers, and never
produces seed except in south Florida
or near the gulf coast. 1t is cultivated
in the southern states, where it is con-
sidered valuable forage plant, and
under favorable conditions produces
an immense amount of forage. For ex-
ample, it is reported to have produced
in Louisiana over so tons Of green
forage per acre. 1t requires a long
season and considerable moisture,
for which reason it is not well suited
to Kansas conditions. 1t gives fair
amount of fodder in Kansas, but there
is nothing to recommend it above corn,
sorghum or Kafr corn for the same
purpose.

Feeding Extracted Honey.

One author says that in feeding
back extracted honey to complete the
partially filed sections, it has been
found that a good colony will con-
sumo one and half pounds of honey
per day. This goes to sustain the
life of the bees, keeps the necessary
heat, feeds the brood and makes the
wax. Probably the same amount is
used during honey flow. After the
honey flow about a half-pound day,
Through the winter about % pounds
are used. His idea of good colony
is one with perhaps 10000 bees, which
Is above the usual number in the size
of hives generally used. 1t would
seem that a half-pound day for
20 900 bees would bc small ration ;
but We cannot say that his estimate
is not correct Midland Farmer.
