to build a big farm home. It was too
big to undertake all in one season, so
only part of it was built. Now, after
twenty years., that house has never
been completed. Some Two miles OF

count of the a stand secured there,

structed. That man could not keep urn
with his ideas. He was continually

fore he finished N undertaking, some
thing would bob up which seemed more
important, and off he would go. 1t Is.
a great thing to be able to complete
our undertakings. There is much in

ahead, and / might add, don't quit m

RICH SOIL MAKES RICH FODDER

WINE Is aware of the fact.
that q rich soil produces the largest
crop, many do not realize that a given
weight of the crop grown on a rich
soil contains more feeding value than.
hat grown on Il poorer soil, ACCORDING
to an average. Experiments have,
shown that timothy grown Oh a rich
soil contained 90 per cent more feeding
value than the same noun crown on
q poor soil. It has also been found that
the nitrogen in the soil has a marked
influence on the protein contents Of the
fodder. The protein content; Of corn
fodder varies quite materially with the
fertility of the soil. Professor Snyder
found that timothy hay grown on ma.
nured land contained SIS per cent. +
tein, While that grown on ul,naanured
land contained 6.45 per cent. Corn
fodder grown on MANFRED land con-
tanned S.S5 per cent, while on tito I'M
manured and 1t contained only ;;.32 per
cent. Rich and lean land should not
be COMPOUNDED with wet and dry and.
as it has been found that the fodder9
grown in rainy seasons or on wet and.
are not as nutritious as those growIs on
dry land or in droushty seasons. The
sloughs produce more hay than thss
upland, but it is of less feeding value.

The Valentines Say Farewell to Chicago


Patrick A. Valentine, right hand man
for the Armours and manager Of that
family's millions when it undertakes a big
deal on the board of trade, left Chicago
Wednesday for New YORK and VIII make
his home there permanently.
Last Saturday Mrs. Valentine gave a
lawn party at her summer home at Ocono-
mowcc at which nearly every prominent
member of Chicago society, who was not
on a vacation, was Il guest. The function
was given in order to give Mrs. and MIR.
Valentine an opportunity to say farewell
to their friends here.
The Valentine home at 300 Michigan
avenue has been closed indefinitely and
left in trust for the two sons of Mrs. VAL
entine, Philip and Lester Armour. who in
ierit it from the estate of their father.
p. d. Armour. jr.
This magnificent residence has been the
scene of some of the most brilliant social
functions in Chicago's history. Practic-
ally every distinguished visitor to the
city, who had the enrree to Chicago So
ciety, has been entertained there at some
time or other. The Valentines ranked
with the Cations and with Mrs. Potter
Palmer in tho l~avishness of their hospt-
tality.
The country home at O~conomowoc was
the delight Of the society element there.

that something might happen in the
last minute to hold her back.

rhe LIaht burned Low

OF all the Joys my childhood knew
I had OF them full store
That I recall in glad review,
Though they can come no more,
There's zone hat can at all compare
With that at evenings glow,
When i sat by my mother's chair
While the light burned low.
The labor OF the day was DER,
The supper time was spent,
The cat lay curled upon the floor
And purred in sweet content;
Through open windows came the sounds
! That country evenings know,
Il saw the frcfiies in their rounds
! While the light burned low.
u know that I would lay my head
Upon my mothers knee,
And listen to the things she said
OF times that used to be.
Why, / can close mine eyes today
! And feel my pulses glow,
when her hand upon me lay
While the light burned low.
1 think that in that twilight hush
More truth my soul did reach
nc steady me IN life'S mad rush
Than all the schools could teach;
MaXims of purity and peace,
How wise i could not know,
When leaned against my mothers knee
While the light burned low.
All, could I win one vanished grace,
l know that 1t would be
To find myself in that old place
Beside my mothers knee;
To hear hef gentle voice. and feel
Her soft hand come and go.
n once more at her feet to kneel
While the light burned low.

leaped back into her cheeks, and she
read the letter over and over, and for
every time it seemed more beautiful,
more manly and sincere to her.

for, but three of them, with big excla-

How 10 Test Wool.

The difference between wool and
cotton Is very great, and in the case
of separate threads of each is plainly
apparent; yet, when-these same threads
are closely interviewer some good
judges are mistaken and buy mixed
cotton and wool goods, firmly convinced
that there is not a thread of cotton
in the cloth 1t is the custom of all
mills that manufacture cotton and wool
mixtures to run the cotton crosswise
in the looms. thus leaving the wool to
run lengthwise. This is done for two
purposes: first, to ilnpart the glossy
appearance which the longer stretch Of
wool thread gives when run in the
length of the goods, and secondly, be-
u the proportion of cotton is
necessarily less and therefore more
difficult to detect. The cotton thread,
of course. is much smaller and very
difficult to distinguish in closely woven
fabric. There is one infallible test.
however:
Take the bolt c: goods at the cut end
and examine closely the crosswise
thread, slowly pulling it apart. II 1t,
breaks almost evenly and comes apart
slowly then n is safe In judging it
to he all wool. If, on the contrary, 1t
breaks IN short, uneven strands and
falls apart easily, refuse to accept the
goods. for it is undcniab,y cotton, and
will not give satisfaction. 1t We're far
better to get all cotton or all WOOL,

much more interesting it would be to
travel out into the great world than to
become the wife of a poor young doc

ashamed of her own thought and tried
to think Of h man whom she had
given her promise and whose love she

The train did not seem to make any
Roadway at all, but at last the sur
%roundings became familiar. She could
soon see the tall linden trees around
the little rectory, where she was born,
and a few minute afterward the train
slowed down and reached the depot at
Middelpart. She gathered her bag
gage and hastily n the platform
looking for the mar she knew was
awaiting her.
Soon she saw his tall, athletic form
and his dear face, with the faithful
blue eyes scanning every window in
the cars. He had not discovered her
yet, but she tore open the door and
rushed into his arms, her face beam
ing with JOY.
