As rule, the best farming is done
where some form of live stock grow
ing and feeding is being practiced (;
however, it is not correct to say that
fertility can not be maintained without
live stock. The matter of maintaining
soil fertility by the use of legume crops,
aided by mineral fertilizers used to in
crease the growth of these crops, is
possible, although as a general propo-
sition it is not profitable.
1t is not the fertility alone which
live stock brings to the farm, but the
organic matter which their presence
brings to the soil. In addition to the
humus and plant food contained In
stable manure there are present Ger
tain bacteria that assist in the work OF
making the plant food contained In the
manure available to the growing plants
After completing their work of max
ing the plant food in the manure avail
able to the plants. they seize and con-
tinue their work OF nitrification as long
as conditions are favorable.
This explains why a small applica.
ton OF manure to certain soils will
produce results far beyond the actual
fertilizing value of the manure that Ia
used. Another point In favor Of live
stock growing and feeding is the fact
that all rational plans OF maintaining
soil fertility depend upon growing
crops In the rotation that are adapted
for animal feeding.
There are many live stock growers
and feeders who are not keeping the
productive qualities Of their soils with
all OF the manure they are making. a,
well as the crop growers BY proper
cultivation and care small amount Of
manure goes long ways-Agricultural

but did not lift his head. She pressed
her hand more heavily upon his soiled

Eyes, yes-what is it?' he said in a
quick, frightened way.
The haggard face turned up to her. The
jaw dropped a little. His eyes, though
fixed upon her own, seemed to have lost
their direction. He gained his feet slow
ly, clutching the table with his hands.

what do you think of an old rellow
of SO having three fine women in love
with him at the same timeg'
II think 1t is absurd"
well, | think so, too; but then you
and l, thank fortune, are young. And
when Henry James was young he
agreed with us. When. in his youth,
Henry James was writing Daisy Miller
and The Portrait of Lady he didn't
have his fine women falling in love with
some old grandfather, and he didn't
take old grandfathers for his heroes
But he does so now. In his 'Ambassa-
doris there are three women In love
with the fascinating Strether, and two
of them propose. Yet Strether Is 55.
James, you see, was a little over So
when he wrote that book. and he there
fore believed that man of that age
could inspire passionate love in WON
ans heart
"Ths is sad commentary on human
nature-that we never grow too old ia
think we can still love and be loved
Writers unconsciously prove this com
mentary. The older they grow the
older they make their fascinating
heroes. Marion Crawford and all the
old hands now write books wherein tbs

cessful are invariably go or so-tha,

Plenty of winter Work.

There is 10 rest for the wicked"
says the book, neither is there rest for
the farmer or any other man who loves
his work and is on the Job all the time.
There are so many things which the
average farmer may do In the winter
which are both profitable and pleasant
that any farmer, whether owner or ten
ant, may find occupation every day he
may wish through the winter. Feed
ing cattle and hogs is very pleasant
and nearly always profitable. not only
directly, but indirectly. Every load Of
manure hauled out brings large re-
turns. The winter gives to man an ex-
cellent chance also to be In the shop
and repair farm machinery, build coops
and houses for the chicks. See that
the pig houses are in good shape for
the coming filters and fix up the box
stalls for the early cows or mare, and
hundred other things may be done.
Another very important thing Is to
have plenty OF good posts made to use
on the farm the coming year. How
often do we see farmers stop right In
the busy season to make posts and re-
pair fences, let alone building new
There is no earthly excuse except lazi-
ness for a man hugging the hot stove

LAt<1s Girl BsfSfsnas AIRED woman

Like the heroine Of a fairy tale,
Mis- Elsie J. Murphy, of 1888 Hager-
man street, Wissinoming, has been re-
warded for a kind deed by the sudden
gift Of riches, says the Philadelphia
Press Several years ago, while living
ut Horsham, Pa. Elsie befriepded an
aged woman by defending her against
other children of the village who be-
lieved her to be mad and who accept
ed every opportunity to plague her.
The Murphys moved to Wissinoming
and Elsie had forgotten even the name
of the aged woman, when only few
days ago she received bulky enve-
lope stamped with the letterhead of a
Philadelphia lawyer. Inside was the
copy of the will of Mrs. Howard Frey
Irwin. who died In the city of New
York early In July and who bequeath-
ed the bulk of her estate, amounting
to several thousand dollars, to Elsie
Johanna Murphy, ''in memory of her
great kindness to a stranger"
Enclosed with the will was a letter
from Charles Bowman, the lawyer, who
had forwarded 1t. The letter said that
several weeks had been required to
find Miss Murphy's residence, as the
only address given in the will was the
one at Horsham. The letter further
said that Identification was now COM
plete and that Miss Murphy was the
heir to a small fortune.
The young heiress did not seem at
all overcome by her good fortune the
other day when a reporter called She
was sitting on her front doorstep, a
very pretty girl In very much muss-
ed gingham dress

they won't give 1t to me till I'm 21.
That's ages" she said. and seemed to
lose all interest in the matter.
Elsie's mother was more communi-
cative. 81 remember Mrs Irwin very
WELL" she said. "The children used
to think she was crazy, and whenever
she would walk past the village school
they would run out to make fun of
her or even to throw stones. Elsie
never liked to see any one hurt. and
would take the old lady's part. often
walking home with her to see that she
was not molested. One day she called
at the school and asked the teacher
who Elsie was, and after that she call
ed to see us several times. That was
almost two years ago, and I'd forgot
ten the old lady's name. but I'm sure
1t must have been she who left Elsie

CHAPTER XIII.

Constsble's mind was slow to inform
this great concept. The day had left be-
hind In his brain n crowd of unasslmilat-
cd acts, and into this dull, formless com
pany swept the climacteric joy. Figurs-
lively speaking. he had to grope about
until lantern and matches were brought
together, before he could adjust and meas
ure and proportion. He halted at last In
the empty street, seized the girl by her
shoulders, saying, as one would evoke
the heart out Of q miracle:

pressure of his hands upon her shoulders.

"I'm sure you must have come back,
sir. because l didn't die to-day, and we
can't be talking together on different
planes-with your fingers impaling my
shoulders J"
Lara Stansbury-are you miner"
The huge fellow was lost in his laby-
rinth of happiness. The doubts that had
smothered her answer were lifted now,
and he heard his victory without breath

had INDICATED her daring. With all the
esgerness of trimming womanhood, which
bursts the bonds of repression for the first
time, she gave him her heart Of hearts.
