Feeding Skim MILK.

Our best dairymen have long ago re-
allied the true feeding value Of skim
milk. At the Kansas station the re-
suits of an experiment with thirteen
groups of ten calves each showed that
when calves are worth $50 per 100,
skim milk is worth nearly 20 cents per
100; with calves at 81 per 100 1t is
worth 30 cents, and at S. per 100 worth
40 cents. The above experiment was
conducted in practical way, and the
results show that the average value of
skim milk for calf feeding, provided
this product is sweet, fresh skim milk,
fed right Skim milk fed to calves
from centrifugal separator. such as
is now within the reach of every farm
err, fed sweet and fresh within an hour
after it Is separated, is worth at least
twice as much as ordinary skim milk
derived from deep setting, open setting
or the skim milk from creamery.

Recreation In Farm Life.

Some Of our farmers wonder why
their sons have a desire to quit the
farm, preferring town or city life. The
cause is with the farmer himself. With
the boy on the arm it is perpetual toll
in good weather, all through the busy
season, and perpetual loneliness in bad
weather and most Of the winter season.
The time when the farmer has leisure
is at the very time when they can not
get away from home on account of
their isolation and bad roads. The boy
hungers for company and his heart re-
volts against this uncomfortable loneli-
ness, and, to free himself from 1t,
walks miles through the mud to spend
an hour at the country store. We are
glad to note that in some sections of
our country the young people of both
sexes have broken through these bar
riers and established farmers clubs
and little societies Of one sort or an
other.-Jackson Herald.

After some search they found a path
that zigzagged up to the wild place.
They followed it, and at last discover

he kept an eye on the flag.

Oglesby listened impatieHtly for a

and then arose abruptly and, cycling his
man sharply, blurted out:

The Roupell Mystery

the Judge, II think sufficiently explains
why you did not retire to sleep. You
were the invited guest of Madame Rou-
pell and occupied the room shown you.
By the by, at which door did you go into
Madame Roupelrs room? The one which
led to it from your chambers!
"Oh, no, monsieur, that was locked. l
had first to go into the corridor"
THAT will do, Monsieur Chabot, you
can CO." said the judge, and the French
man. considerably relieved, bowed and
retired.
The servants were then called, and they
swore positively that none of them had
admitted Van Lith into the chateau, and
had no knowledge of his being there until
they saw him in Nine. Roupell's cham
Der. The project here stated his discov-
cry of the bruised vine leaves, and the
open window, and gave it as his opinion
that the entry had been there effected.
The examination of the local physi-
clan and DIR. Paul Mason then followed.
They both testified that Nine. Roupell
had died from the effects of pistol bull
let entering the base of the brain. This
concluding the proceedings, the judge of
instruction then committed Van Lith to
the prison of La Mazas.
"Shall l keep Monsieur Jules Chabot
under surveillance" asked the project,
when all had retired.
Il see no occasion for it," replied M.
Bertrand. HE may be a fool; but he
doesn't look like a murderer"
But Victor Lablanche still adhered OBJ
stinately to the opinion that NJ. Chabot
would bear watching. Slipping from the
room he instructed one of his most relia-
BILE secret agents to keep him in sight un-
til further orders. He had said nothing
about his discovery of the open door. He
would keep that to himself. It might
lead perhaps to one of those grand coups
for which he was so famous.
Another thing the project was dissatis-
fed with. Upon the certificate of the ply
sicians that the Miles. Weldon were pros
trated by the death of their aunt, they
had not been summoned before the tri-
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The project
considered this as ill-timed leniency, but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of so famous physician as DR.. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge of
instruction.
