a silver coin.

to the giver

the rest of the month. GOODNIGHT"
He waved his hand and was gone
The tramp leaned over a gate. think
ing. He could see the chimneys of the
house that had been his uncle's. the
house he had hoped would one day be
his own. II belonged TO Charley Hud-
son now. SO he had been told in the
town.
But Margaret had preferred him.
though some called him a ne'er-dO-

waiting for him all these years?
The very thought made his heart
/ burn. 1t seemed impossible. 1t was
too much to expect from any girl. Yet
that man-what was his name? Ban
nister-he had seemed TO think it quite
likely. He must find out. lie must
get some decent clothes so that he
might make inquiries. Some one in
the town must know what had become
OF her.
Another thins-he must send back
that money to Bannister as soon
as possible But how was he to md

not his address; and he was only q

Al one side Of the road there was
a thick hedge. and a field on the

TO the gate. climbed over It, and then

was no difficulty about It, The hedge

i'm Bannister jumped out OF the
train, his black bag in his hand. and
his eyes went ranging up and down
the platform in search of his wife and
Children. They generally were there
TO meet him when he came down from
town on Friday evening. Finding that
they were not visible, he left the sta
ton and took the road that led away
from the town and the harbor towards
the new suburb which had OF late years
set up in business as a watering place.
II was cheap and healthy. and the boys
hked TO go down TO the harbor and
see the ships and talk TO the sailors.

were worn and stained. He wore no
shirt, for the old tweed jacket was but
toned up to the neck. On his head was
a battered soft felt hat; on his teet 4
pair of coarse seaman's shoes.
He stopped as he drew near the re-
spectacle man with the black bag. but
he did not say a word. Bannister
looked at him. Their eyes met. and
the unspoken appeal was more elo-
quent than any words could have been.
Plainly the man was derelict.
So clear was the expression in the
mans face that Bannister answered
him as il he had spoken.

The mans swarthy cheeks flushed

said. Then the next instant: Il beg

Jim said awkwardly.

said the derelict, and as he spoke he
smiled. The smile startled Bannister.
This was the face OF a cultivated man,
OF what one calls a gentleman, dirty
and unshaven as il was. He felt that

He ended with a rueful downward
glance at his tattered raiment

lingering the coins in his trousers

"Yes-and to the old town. And now

courage TO speak TO a soul. You see,

scarcely think any Of my old friends

lie gave a short. bitter laugh.
But you must have some relatives?"
"Only the uncle / told you OF. He Is

by this time they were moving on
side by side. for Bannister was anxious
to get home.

Jim Bannister could have laughed

could have laughed at the idea Of any
woman waiting for the human wreck
at his side. He could have laughed at
the eager look on the mans half-savage
face as he put his absurd question.
But there was a pathetic look in the
brown eyes. and Bannister did not
laugh. As he kept on looking the in
clination to laugh died away altogether.
Instead, he gave the answer that
seemed TO him at the moment the only
possible one to give.
"A girl would wait ten years-twenty

Encourage Cleanliness in Streets,
Houses, Bodies. Clothes, Food
and Drink.
The Woman's Health Club, of Boston.
Is doing an excellent work In the in.
terests OF public health by the publ.
option OF it's booklets on hygienic sub
tects. and particularly by those which
teach the great doctrine OF cleanliness.
They are written in plain style,
which can be understood by everyone
who makes an attempt TO read. though
1t Is to DO confessed that they will
never reach the great mass OF free
born naturalized American citizens
who never read anything-not even
yellow newspaper. Yet they will &C.
complish much in the direction OF cd
ucating and enlisting leaders and
teachers Of the future work for civic
and household cleanliness, and other
organizations could with profit emu
late the Boston example. 1t would
awaken more people to the theory that
they have a right to prevent injury
from the uncleanliness OF others. Clean
streets. clean houses, clean bodies and
clothes, and. most Of all, clean water
and foods-these are the prerequisites
or public health, and they are privi-
leges which everyone should enjoy.
1t haG we'll been said that we have
COOS own country, mans own back
yards and the DEVILS own cesspool"
We have not yet emerged from the
conditions of medieval cities-indeed,
II Is but century since London itself
was worse than barnyard. At the
rate that we are pouring filth into our
rivers there will soon not be a clean
stream east of the Rocky Mountains.
BY all means let the crusade go on,
and let the woman's health clubs re-
ceive our blessing and perchance some
more substantial assistance.

or runners. Where it is not desired to
go to such an expense as building
portable feed cabin barrel on wheels
may be fixed up quite cheaply. (See
cut for both Of these.)
For outdoor feeding a trough four
feet long Is excellent and will allow
six pigs to eat in comfort, three on
each side. For such four foot trough
secure
One two-inch plank one foot wide
four feet long
Two two-inch planks six inches wide,
four feet four inches long.
Two two-inch planks one foot wide,
twenty inches long.
Three one-inch boards six inches
wide. four feet long.
The largest plank will constitute the
bottom, the two short planks the ends
and the two long narrow planks the
sides of flat bottomed trough. Two
of the six inch wide boards should be
nailed between the end pieces near the
top in such a way as to make V
shaped trough. save that they should
not come together at the bottom by
about three inches. The other one inch
board should be nailed one edge up
in a vertical position between the two
ends. The upper edge should be about
one inch below the open bottom Of the
false V shaped trough and the lower
edge about four inches from the bot
tom of the trough. The purpose Of the
false upper trough is to allow the feed
er to pour the feed into the trough.
even though the pigs are struggling to
get at the food Such n trough Is
easily kept clan, easily filed in spite
of crowding pigs, strong and durable.

but lacks durability and is expensive.
Barb wire fencing can hardly be made
to turn small pigs. \ good plan is TO
have a woven wire fence two or three
feet high and two or three strands OF
barbed wire above the same to turn
the larger pigs. In addition, some
portable fencing should be OIL hand for
dividing the large fields into plots.
Wooden hurdles may be used and are
fairly economical. Wooden framed
wire netting hurdles are also very eff
fective. Woven wire stretched tightly
on very firmly set posts, one at each
end of the proposed division line, with
stakes at intervals, is probably as
cheap and easily handled movable
fence as any (See illustration)
Portable sleeping houses that may be
easily moved from one plot TO another
are necessary and may be constructed
at small expense. A good size Is eight
feet square or eight feet long by six
feet wide The side stills should he OF

more feed to the acre than corn, and
with the silo this can be utilized for
soiling.
In Illinois corn seems 10 be the best
single crop for the stio. and by eombin-
ing with it cowpea> or soy beans the
feeding value is greater, ton for ton,
than of corn alone.
When corn is fully tasseled 1t con
tains less than one-fourth as much dry
matter as when the ears are fully
glazed. From this stage TO maturity
the increase is but slight
That silage may keep well the corn
should not be cut until most Of the kerr
nels are glazed and hard. II too ripe
the silage will not settle well and the
air will not be sufficiently excluded to
prevent spelling.
The corn is most easily handled by
cutting with a corn binder and using
silage cutter of large enough capacity
10 avoid the necessity Of cutting bands.
II silage is to keep well the leaves
and heavier parts must be kept thor
oughly mixed, evenly distributed in the
silo and well tramped next the wall.
After filing, the top six inches should
be wet once and the whole surface
tramped every day for week to OBJ
tain thin, compact layer of well
rotted silage which will exclude the air.
Records Of the cost of silO filling
we're kept by the experiment station on
nineteen different farms in various
parts of the state, and the cost was
found to range from 10 cents to &c
cents a ton the average being 90 cents.
OF 372 comparisons made between
silage and nonsilage milk, 6 per cent
were in favor of the silage milk, 90 per
cent were in favor Of the nonslage
and II per cent indicated no prefer
ence.
The foregoing items summarize in
useful fashion the very informing
bulletin No 101 of the Illinois expert
ment station.
