who have opposed each other rub
their eyes and gaze on him.
This was the end of Judge Hay
dens six-year term, but the Judge
had held his office for many more
years than that. 1t would have
seemed to many of the inhabitants
of Gibson County that the stars had
ceased to exist if Hayden had ceased
to be judge. He was one of those
rare men who are just what judges
should be, fixed, determinate point
in the affairs of men. Your good
Judge in a community like this is a
mooring. Hayden was nominated
again.
After that Isabel gave a party.
The autumn was warm and she
wrote out the invitations with her
own white fingers as she sat on the
porch. She sighed, gazing at the list
through her glasses. Her set was vi
vacious and growing alarmingly; new
ertheless, they were all crowded in.
But there was one other. She sat
and dreamed and forgot the list with
a far-away look on her face. Alas
why was that impossible?
Martin P. Hodge did not go to that
partya it is to be doubted that The
Chump was more than a thought in
one brain among all those in Judge
Hayden's house. The Judge mingled
with the bright crowds. His smoothly
shaver face was serene and smiling.
Isabel dressed in white, with long,
satin ribbon round her waist and
floating behind, looked a little like
him.
When the guests were all gone she
turned, singing an idle tune, to the
Judge, who stood in the parlor
"And So she cried, smiling,
give begun the campaign"
He looked little serious and took
hold of her hands.
Isabel said he, "there are new
rocks in the old stream"

EDO you think you shall lose?" she
asked.
GIVE never fought fight so hard
as this will be- was his reply. "The
country changes so fast, sweetheart,
that an old-timer like me can't keep
up with it forever"
She had lost little of her color.
She knew too we'll what the matter
was. She looked sad and presently
said, very low, with her eyes down:

GARDENS THAT YIELD GOLD

Much interest is felt In regard to the
methods employed by the French gar
deners, who can grow S2.50e worth Of
produce ON an acre. The system is
now being attempted at Thatchom, in
Berkshire.
There Is at hand an account Of a
French garden belonging to VI.
Romeo. The garden covers just under
two and three quarters acres. for
which $500 was spent in rent and taxes.
This small area of land returned a

vegetables, the chief items consisting
of:
Twenty thousand pounds carrots. 20

tomatoes 5000 dozen of choice fruit

The hog will make from twelve to
fifteen pounds OF pork, live weight

Swine need moro room. more free

Because hogs utilize grain products

0AlRYlNG IN GERMANY

In general, Germany is well adapted
to dairy farming. The country has an
abundance of well-watered grazing
land. and forage is obtainable through
out the greater part of tho year. al
though not In sufficient quantity 10
supply the wants OF the German cattle
raisers and dairymen. for considerable
imports of foreign forage arc made
yearly.
The education of those engaged in
the dairylng industry has advanced so
far that separators are almost univer-
sally used. and tho consumption of but
ter and other dairy products per capita
in Germany is large. especially OF
cheese. of which the Germans are great
consumers.
The native production of the latter
product cannot supply the homo de-
mands, consequently large importatione
OF foreign made cheese arc necessary
each year
The value of the milk products last
year was more than 5000 OGO .O0O-A.

ITEMS ABOUT THE HORSE

IL you starVe the colt the first winter
he Is liable 10 come out very thin in
the spring and worth less than when
wcaned.
1t Is believed by many that clover
hay gives the horses heaves This Is
mistake If the horse Is fed the
proper quantity OF clover and not over
fed there Is no danger OF the heaves.
DO not give horses water Immediately
atter eating. An hour after they have
finished their meal Is soon enough to
water thom.
oats are the best general feed for
horse and so well with timothy hay,
once or twice week give feed of
corn and clover with bran mash Give
only what will be eaten up clean.

WHAT is A GOOD DAIRY cow?
This Can Be Determined Only
by the Quality and Quantity
Of Her Milk Production.
BY HENRY STEWART

The pail is indeed the only true
criterion OF the large mixer and or
the big butter producer One OF the
most instructive exhibits in my collec-

Judge of such cows to select the
champion cow out OF the lot OF over
nifty portraits.

have the best opportunity Of making
good udder and CT course the better
the form or yielding ability Of the
udder tho more the cow would be
likely to develop into n good mixer
The first year of cows life will
almost surely make or mar the future
OF the animal But 1t is not sufficient
alone. for COW is growing in form
and ability to milk at least four years.
