season for my little social supper to-
morrow! I was afraid Aunt Maguire's
cold might detain you day or two;
and your old friend. Mr.. Stackpole. 10
to be here"
Mr.. Stackpole again! Hepsey was
glad the name had been spoken SO
many times that day that the strange
ness was wearing off.
The next evening Hepsey came into
the long, bright parlor, dressed IN her
best black silk, much-enduring gar
ment, that had been turned and sim
ened with gin; but then black silks,
like dead men, tell no tales-and she
looked very sweet and attractive with
her fresh blue ribbons and her peace
full face.
Mr.. Stackpole thought SO when he
came In late In the evening. After q
few words with the hostess, he slipped
into shadowy corner, and looked
eagerly over the room until he saw
Miss Hepsey sitting In a deep window
a little aside. Then he stood gazing
at her face as though he wished to
read all that the past lost years had
printed on 1t. There was yearning
look in his eyes, look Of long hun
ger satisfied at last
Presently Miss Hepsey's eyes, drawn
perhaps by the magnetism of his,
turned toward Mr.. Stackpole's corner
and fell upon tha remembered face.
She turned her eyes away quickly; in
stantly the flame, long buried and
smoldering in her heart, leaped up into
life again, burning at her cheeks and
choking her breath. Poor Hepsey!
She did not understand that it was Mr..
! Stackpole's glance OF earnest love
that had stirred the old pleasure and
the old pain she blamed her own
heart for 1t all.
When she raised her eyes they
looked into the face of Mr.. Stackpole.
who was standing before.
"Hepsibah!" said he softly, holding
out his hand to her. "Ah, Hepsi-
BAH"
The old name that she had hardly
heard for years! Tho name he had
called her by; how It thrilled her,
bringing to full life again the buried
shadowy host Of hopes and loves, and
! yearnings! They started up, sud
den, unlocked for and sublime, like the
/ old dead Incas thrown up in the great
earthquake; but not like them, wither-
ed and past reviving.

GOOD AND POOR cows.
They Can Be Discovered Only by
Methods Of Testing.

The establishing of test associa-
lions will enable the dairymen to
eliminate the Improbable cows from
their herds and help them to get
better COWS and make half the num-
Der do the same or even better work
than the whole number of our aver
age cows are doing at the present
time
The milk scale and Babcock- test
must of necessity come into use
Every farmer should have milk
scale hanging in the barn where it
will be handy to weigh each cows
milk, and, by the side of this, a
milk sheet with names or numbers
of cows, enabling him to keep
daily record of each cow in his herd.
There is not more than one in 20
farmers that knows the amount of
milk and butter fat each COW in the
herd is producing per year. However,
now Is good time for every dairy
man to begin more economical pro-
duction of milk. It costs but very
little more to keep COW that will

than one producing 100. pounds.
The most extravagant thing a
dairyman can do is to head his herd
with a scrub sire; this is step back
and continual slide as long as he
continues such methods. There is no
advancement or grading up without
pure bred, prepotent sire. Improve
ment comes only through the supe-
rior qualities of the male used Expe-
rience in my work shows that COWS

ter more than one-half to one hour
per day in fine weather, and are kept
in warm, well-lighted and well ven
tilated stables. They are watered
in stable cold days and fed food OF a
succulent nature. such as ensilage or
mangles, with all the alfalfa or clover
hay they will consume without waste,
and a balanced grain ration of not
less than one pound to every three
pounds of milk given.

DAIRY NOTES.

Three cows without salt produced
30 pounds less milk in a week In an
experiment station test.
Only clean tin milk utensils should
be used. Patched or rusty tinware
should not be tolerated.
When you buy a separator get one
that runs easy. washes easy and
skins clean and you'll have the best.
Whitewash looks and is mighty
nice on the inside of the cow barn and
a little salt will make 1t stick better.
Eastern coWmen practice soiling in
summer. They figure green corn or
alfalfa fed this way is worth $40 to
S25 per acre
Many dairyman blames his cows
when he ought not to do SO. It often
auiets his conscience, though, and the
COWS don't care.

A Constructive Flood.

The flocking OF eonsumptlyes from
all parts of the country to the soutn-
west has created problems In the lat
ter region with which the various
states are dealing in different ways.
In Texas the state health officer has
just issued a statement In which he
says that victims of tuberculosis In
its advanced stages viii be debarred
from entering or remaining In that
state. He declares that conditions
make such a rule imperative. So

few realize that when man enters
the service of the army or of the
navy, whether as officer or as enlist
ed man, he enters a great school. a
school in which is taught not only the
discipline of self-restraint, OF cleanli-
ness, of devotion to duty, but In
which are taught also the elements
of an education, says III. s. Pritchett.

is no career open to an American boy,

LIZ & Curse.


One of the great perils of India 10
the danger from serpents and wild
beasts, which annually cause enor-
nous loss of life In that part of the
world There Is a belief in many
pagan minds which prevents the kill
ing of wild animals, no matter how
ferocious they may be, and which
leaves undisturbed the most venom
Gus snakes. The awful havoc wrought
by serpents is made the subject OF
official mention in a report by William
II. Michal, the American consul gen.
eral at Calcutta, in which that gentle
man says: THE serpent question Is
still a very live, very serious ques-
ton in India. Snake bites occur fire.
quently, and they are generally in
fiicted by venomous snakes, like the
cobra" Then he relates that last
year there were reported 21,797
deaths from snake bite. But 1t Is
admitted that the statistics are kept
very loosely, and it is believed the
actual fatalities will exceed the
quoted figures by at least SO per cent.
This sort of thing has gone on indefi-
nitely, and for at least 80 years the
total has averaged as high as that OF
1906. Add to this the ravages OF
fiesh-eating beasts, including the
tigers and lions, many OF which be-
come man killers" and some concep-
ton may be formed OF the result.

still greater growth were there some
well-organized effort In the way Of
disposing of its noxious wild crea-
lures.

SCORING the Rnttermaker.

The officials of the dairy division Of
the department of agriculture are
planning score card that will not
only score butter and cheese but that
will score the battermakers and
cheesemakers also This is a good
plan, and the card would do much
good IL it could be honestly used
Some of the managers of factories
would be surprised at the low scoring
their manufacturer would receive. II
would certainly be a good thing for
the dairy schools; for 1t would show
the dairy students ranking high up
as a rule. This would be an object
lesson to the boards that control the
creameries and cheese factories.

ing, and it in no way cuts OF the
milk supply.
The only objection to such plan,
says Breeders Gazette, would be that
injury might happen to the mammary
veins running forward from the I'D
der. These veins remove the blood
that comes from the arteries to the
udder and have nothing whatever to
do with the supply of blood from
which milk Is elaborated.

The average dairyman is a very
poor dairyman in the true sense of
the word. yet a comparison of the
methods in use to-day with those of
even ten years ago is quite compli-
mentary to this same average dairy
man. There's abundant room for i'm

FORAGE POISONING
Moldy Feed Cause of Death to Mules
and Horses

Some weeks ago at the request of
Congressman Humphreys. the de-
partment of agriculture sent an in
spector to Issaquena county to in
yestigate a malady which had been
attacking and killing horses and
mules III great numbers and which
the local veterinarians had not been
able to diagnose.
Inspector Cracroft was sent and
remained few days but while he
was there no case occurred. From
what he could learn of the disease
from the planters he was of the opin-
ion that the disease was the same as
that treated in the bureaus special
der the title of Forage Poisoning. or
So-Called Cehebo-Spinal Meningitis +"
This consists in the poisoning and
the depression of the nervous system
from eating and drinking food or
water containing poisons generated
by mold or bacteria.
Repeated outbreaks have been
traced to moldy feed, forage or con-
taminated water, and the stock are
liable TO contract the disease when at
pasture ii the growth of grass is SO
profuse that IT mats together and the
lower part dies and ferments or be-
comes moldy, or by drinking water
from pools containing surface water
which has percolated through such
Vegetation.
Inspector Cracraft has been in
structcd to return to the infected To-
caity to further watch and study the
disease.
