She was just 10 when his eyes first
rested upon her delicate, fiower-like
beauty and the impression she made
upon him had grown stronger with
each succeeding day. He had made
no open confession of his love for the
girl, indeed there were times when
he fought against it.
He had reached his thirty-fifth year
without experiencing the effects of a
really strong affection for one of the
opposite sex, and the fascination this
young girl exercised over him seemed
strange and unaccountable. One
thing was certain. Now that his SIS
ter's sharp eyes had penetrated his
secret, there would be no rest for him
until a decision was reached one way
or the other. That she did not ap-
prove of his choice made no differ
ence. Miss Leslie Delmar had reigned
as mistress of her bachelor brothers
house so long that she had almost
come to look upon her position as per-
manent, but this was case in which
he had quietly resolved to brook no in
reference.
During his journey to the office he
wondered restlessly how he should
lead up to the point which interested
him, the winning of the girl with
whom he felt his future happiness
rested. Never had legal problem, no
matter how tangled, presented such
difficulties to his mind as the unrav-
cling of this dubious love knot. And
when he came face to face with the
subject of his thoughts the difficulty
seemed greater than ever. She had
never looked prettier than on that par.
ticular morning and the accents of her
sweet, low voice found a responsive
echo in his heart.
Somehow her inconsistencies of
the emotion she excited in him made
her seem all the more unapproach-
able. Like many another man before
him, John Delmar realized that the
time was close at hand when he must
decide his fate by single question,
and the thought daunted him. All
through that forenoon he transacted
business like man in dream His
eyes strayed continually to the slim,
neatly clad figure of the girl bending
over her machine. 1t was almost a
relief when IL o'clock arrived and
Irene went to luncheon, leaving him
to his own reflections and the contem-

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire.
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat we'll they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive ia
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. s

to find quick relief. Mrs. Turner used
Doan's Kidney Pills for rundown con-
dition, backache, pains in the sides and
kidneys, bloated limbs, etc. "The way
they have built me up is simply mar
velous," says Mrs. Turner, who is a
nurse. "My health improved rapidly.
Five boxes did so much for me I am
telling everybody about it."

In this connection, Robert T. Nor
ris of New York says: Il believe that
nut trees are largely to take the place
of the useless trees which are at pres
ent planted for decorative purposes in
public and private grounds. The rea-
son for this belief is, because there
are no more beautiful trees or more
attractive than those to be found in
the nut-bearing group"
A nurse crop for alfalfa is not ia
vored by the most successful grow
ers. In cutting such crop consider
able damage is apt to be done the
young alfalfa plants. With few OK
ceptions where experiments have been
tried at experiment stations it has
been found that the second and third
years have brought heavier yields
where no nurse crop was used. The
theory that the nurse crop will pre-
vent the weeds choking the alfalfa is
apparently, as rule, not well found
ed. In the first place, alfalfa should
not be sown on foul land, and in the
second place proper discing and har-
rowing at near intervals for four or
six weeks before sowing will disturb
or kill far more weeds than can any
nurse crop. Besides, the oats or bar
ley sown as nurse will, when cut,
leave weeds in good growth, or dor
mant and ready to spring up as fast
or faster than alfalfa. No nurse crop
is ever used with fall growing. When
ground has been properly prepared for
the preceding crop, and then properly
cared for, and made ready for the
alfalfa by the preliminary weed de-
struction, it VIII be found advisable to
SOW alfalfa alone, even in the spring.

Cider to Cure Typhoid,

A French chemist has recently pro
claimed that cider is an antidots for
typhoid fever. The acid in it il the
agent, as it destroys the germs. Cider
in Europe is more generally used as

mans appear to prefer cider after it
becomes sour, but Americans usually
prefer it while it is sweet.

Contrasting associations as organ
ized and managed in many of the
states now include between 20 and 81
dairy farmers who own 300 or more
COWS. The purpose is to make an in

herd. The plan is to secure a compe

month and remain there for "a hours
While there he weighs the feed which
the COW eats, also weighs and tests
the milk. This is done not merely tC
see how much milk and butter fat the
COWS will give in year, but also tC

the profits. He also makes study oil

For this work the man whom the
association employs usually receives
81 per cow per year for each COW
tested, together with his board anG
lodging. Besides this expense there is
an assessment of from rs cents to 81
per member, for covering necessary
expenses.

of harvesting. The hogs become the
harvesters and turn the corn into pork
right on the field. At some of the ex.
pertinent stations and on private
farms a certain definite acreage OF
corn has been fenced off and a mum.
Der of hogs turned in to eat the corn.
The hogs were weighed before they
were turned in and again weighed
when they had cleaned up the corn
of a definite area. This gave the ex'
act gains the hogs made on the corn.
In most cases cash net gain has
amounted to as much or more than
the market value of the corn, which
makes it an economical method of dis
posing of corn, since harvesting and
marketing are saved. Another value
in hogging down corn at maturity In
the fall is the enriching Of the soil
with the droppings of the animals.
The value of this fertilizer amounts
to much, either when the same land
is to be planted to corn the following
year, or is to be used for other crops.
The manure is we'll distributed through
necessity of the animals feeding even
ly over the entire area, and the break
ing and tramping down of the stalks
places them in position to be quickly
acted upon by the fall and winter
rains and to be in an advanced stage
of decomposition at blowing time the
following spring. Corn stalks lying
on the ground over winter will decay
more quickly than when allowed to
stand, and fiat on the ground they will
hold the soil from erosion on sloping
or hilly land. At the time for hog
ging down corn the soil is usually
comparatively dry, hence little or no
damage is done from the pasturing.

Compassion, reporter. editorial writer, editor, he saw all grades of the service from the sim ole days of ''the Advertiser newspa- per- with slight accent on the first and the penult. That Advertiser edited by his father, was "most re- spectable daily We are not sure that it wasn't the most respectable institution in the universe and that the Boston Athenaeum or Kings Chapel wasn't frivolous and plebeian by the side of it. He tells hemself of dispute between his father and a friend of his father as to the day of the week when he (Edward) was born. On a Wednesday, said one On a Saturday, said the other.

SEEK TRUE FRIENDS.

One good friend is worth a dozen acquaintances. It is the kind of in diyiduals we attract rather than great numbers. Strive to be splen- did and charming. It is worthier ambition than the endeavor to be popular. It is not necessary to seek friends; if you are interesting and bright and cheerful you will be sought after. A host of acquaint- ances, like riches and silver, often cause more worry than joy. If you have one or two faithful comrades who will love you for your virtues and smile kindly at your faults, you are truly blessed.

RETARD PROGRESS OF MEXICO
Immense Landed Estates, Which own- CTS Refuse to Subdivlde, Are
 Hindrarce to Country.

It has been said that 400 families in Mexico control the bulk of the land. We know that two, those of Terazzas and Del Rio, own between some 10,000,000 to 12,000,00O acres in the states of Chihuahua and Du- rango. The Terazzas estate is of 0,000 acres. On 1t a herd of 75,- 900 cattle is maintained. Express trains on the Central are hours in crossing it, and several railroad sta tons are located within its borders
 These enormous "haciendas" con- tribute practically nothing to the support of Mexico, and, because their owners will not subdivide them into workable units, it is difficult to ob- tain the proper sort of immigration on which Mexico would flourish agriculturally. It is the idea of the advanced party in Mexico to tax these lands both for the revenue which they ought to be yielding, but, more directly, to impel the ''hacien- dos' to split up their estates. Mexi- co will never make much of a show ing until this ancient form of land ownership is abandoned. Charles F. Speare, in the Review of Reviews.
