CHAPTER XXI

II @ LIZ, | .. a
on Il cold and cheerless afternoon in
October. with a gray and lowering sky
above and a drenched and sombre
world around, George Bostock took his
way to see Olive Dumbarton. A fierce
storm had ragged all night, carrying
death and destruction over land and
sea and though the wind had some

tinued in a steady downpour.
Nothing coulG be more depressing
than this dreary day, and from It's

felt more than usual weighed down BY
dark fears n bitter regrets, which
he found impossible to combat and

with the hours that passed, he re-
solved to call upon Olive Dumbarton,
anxious to see her once more, andscon-

the slough of despond in which he was

distant bell and to the heavy drops
falling from the tree beneath Which he
stood on his open umbrella.
AS he approached Olive Dunbar

a Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind Of food. was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and af-
ter the operation the doctor. knowing
that his intestinal digestion was very
weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice 4
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter. his father states,
he has grown to be strong. muscu-

1t is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-NNts at@an earlier period
in his life, and kept from the use OF
foods that he could not digest. he never
would have had appendicitis. That

Frost Bite.

mere are other ways of getting

out and letting Jack Frost nip your
myers and toes. a very common
method is to come home with cold,

outdoor work, ard place the feet CIR
hands in warm water or before the

many escape it during the cold%months,
is frost-bitten to all inuents and pur-

pork when one has every facility for

WHAT is WRONG IN FARMING?

During the past two months I have had
occasion to inquire. rather closely into the
affairs of farme.s, gardeners and fruit
growers located near large cities and
towns, and have been much surprised at
what was seen. The first thing which at
tracted attention was a vegetable grower
passing the farm where I was stopping
with several bales of hay in his wagon.
and this in a section where good hay is
grown. Then, in a few days, / noticed
several farmers at the butchers buying
meat Of varioug kinds. mainly pork. One
man was jokingly asked if it were not

EXPERIENCES WITH STOCK
FOODS

FOODS.
That there is much in the composition
of stock foods on the line of condiments
is generally admitted and the continued
feeding of them for any length of time
should be carefully done. Last winter
we fattcned fifteen hogs ana used 1t eer-
tain stock food with gratifying results.
Several sows that were not doing well
were given more OF less of the food and
they braced up for a time, taking on so
much fat that the use of the food was
discontinued. AS a result the pigs
roppe in the spring were far from sat
isfactory and the sows were in bad shape.
Horses given the stock food seemed TO
improve at first, but subsequent foods mac
no effect upon them. This winter We are
testing another food, and it is acting on
similar lines SO far as we are able to
Judge at this writing. Bear in mind these
foods are not being condemned, but it
is advised that theyNbe used with caution
and the effects on stock closely watched.
GLASS in POULTRY HOUSES.
While all the sunlight possible is desired
in the poultry house during the winter. it
should be that at night
houses with much glass and no inside
heat become very cold. Some plan for
covering the glass at night should be
evolved and the covering should be in
accordance with the climate. In the very

so arranged that they may be closed and
fastened over the glass at night, from
the outside, the we have a heavy burlap
curtain on rollers on the inside, which is
dropped down at night. In this way the
house is kept warm. In milder climates
the inside curtain would probably be all
! necessary, but it should be i.c.ae of heavy
material so as to afford ample protection.
OF course the roosts should be located as
far from the glass as possible and ar
ranged in the warneSt part of the house
and where no draughts from any venti-
lating apparatus used will blow; Owes. the
fowls. Inexperienced poultrymcr do not
fully appreciate the Importance OF keep
ing the fowls from catching COLD and get
ting their feet wet during winter. Rarely,
if ever, is 1t necessary to provide artificial

/ necessary TO have the house fairly warm,
always dry and free from draughts.
A GARDEN CULTlVAToR.
If the garden plot is of considerable
size, aud X should be as large as n can
handle to advantage, the ground should
be prepared and the soil made finer than
is necessary for farm crops. To do this q

implement would be called in different

siderable weight. A simple, yet effective

BALANCING THE COW RATION.

On most farms corn in some form is the
basis OF the ration for all the stock with
the possible exception of the horses. The
man who best understands feeding makes
an effort to grow other things which will
enable him, with the corn as a basis,
to make balanced ration at the smallest
possible cost. If he cannot raise these
things lie oranges affairs SO he can raise
something he can sell at a price which
will enable him to invest the proceeds
in what he wants for the balanced ration
and obtain the most possible Tor his
money. 1t hould be mbc that
where corn is the basis of the ration
foods having the greatest value III protein
are what should be raised. or purchased,
bnt less of it will be required to form
the best ration with corn il the roughage
can be either clover hay or alfalfa. If
this be an admitted fact, it is one more
argument in favor OF alfalfa, and it is
worth much time and trouble to get al
falfA established on the farm. OF course
bran and gluten meal are also good bal
ancing foods and may be used alternately
with the cottonseed meal or in place of
the latter if the market price is lower i'll

KEEPING FolNtLs susY

-.
One need only to have had experience
along both lines to recognize the import
amce of keeping fowls employed during
the winter months When they are practi-
cally in confinement. BY this is not meant
stuffing them with food, but furnishing a
variety of employments such as a sunny
corner in which to dust, a floor covered
with chaff in which has been scattered a
small quantity of grain, a fountain of
fresh water and a few green vegetables
which they can p~ech@oveT then do not.
forget the box of grit, for besides the
needs of the fowls for this they will while
away, many hours and be less likely to
get into such bad habits as feather pull
ing and egg eating. The busy hen is the
contented hen. While there may be some
question about the adyisability of feeding
hens frequently or keeping food constant
ly before them there can be no doubt of
the value of enough grain feeding during,
the day and to keep them employed
scratching. Try the plan before recon-
mended of giving the fowls very warm
water during the cold days of winter as
we'll as the one of feeding the whole corn
at night after making it quite hot in the
oven. Both these things VIII help the
