Postal Card Duns Are barred.

The attorney for the second assistant
postmaster general of the United States
has ruled that in the future no "dunning''
postal cards shall be sent through the
mails by public service corporations and
delinquent tax collectors.
The word "dunning" is defined to cover
any postal card that refers directly or in
directly to any bill owing to the sender or
in any way containing threat as to what
will happen in the event of the bill not
being paid by a stipulated time.
This ruling means that no statement OF
taxes may be sent on postal card and
that no "second" notices or "inal" no.
tices may be sent on postal cards. In
addition it is declared that postal card
notices calling attention to overdue bills
cannot be sent out by gas companies,
light companies or other public service
corporations.
The result of the attorneys order will
be that all tax notices, gas notices, light
notices and telephone notices must be en-
closed in an envelope. AS the city and
county delinquent tax collectors have fee
odices and pay all the expenses of their
offices, including rent, clerk hire and
stationery, this order will mean an addi.
tional expense to the collectors for stamps
and envelopes.
Many public service corporations have
been accustomed to send their monthly
statements on postal cards with tie
amount of reduction for prompt payment
and also later postcard notices containing
printed information as to what would
happen if the bill was not paid.

POULTRY NOTES.

Don't overfeed the old hens in hot
weather
One Of the very best poultry feeds is
nice plump oats.
Give no harbor to rats around the
young chicken coops.
Keep the lawn closely clipped and
give the clippings to the chicks.
Have no wet holes near the chicken
coop. Dampness works havoc every
time.
The hens gizzard is little grisi
mill. Keep it well supplied with
grit
Water washed gravel is not grit: It
takes the hard. sharp kind for good
hens teeth.
There is wide field for study when
you go earnestly into the poultry
business.
Be right among your hens several
times day, and see that their every
want is supplied.
Sense in the chicken yard means
cents in the pocket, but scents in the
henhouse means sickness and loss.

CHAPTER XVI

In vain did the police and the re-
porters dig and pry into the house at
"a Briarsweet place in hope of finding
some trace of Hamley Hackleye.
Mr.. Hackleye was not about. His
London bankers could give no definite
information about him. For thirty
years he had been accustomed to go
and come when he pleased. He had
for long while maintained a comfort
able home at Khartoum and another at
Cairo, but he visited these only at in
tervals, and sometimes was not seen
In them for year at time. He was
known to possess great estates located
in Central Africa, but none knew posi-
lively where. He kept a retinue of
servants at each establishment and a
suave major domo in each was accus-
toned to being the nominal head of the
household. Neither OF these men, how
ever, could give any of the wished for
explicit information about their mas
ter. Each home contained the usual
accumulation of furniture bric-a -brac,
and the ola podrida of civilization that
aggregates in every wealthy home but
nothing at all mysterious or in any
way smacking of the criminal They
were the homes of a gentleman of
wealth and culture. Any connection
between the African laws and penal
ties of Mr.. Hackleye and the Indian
home of the darcourts, it was impossi-
BILE to discover. The Harcourt menage
was located in the hill country, in a
most beautiful spot. Harcourt had
come there about seven years pre-
Viously, at the time of his marriage to
Narcisse De L'Enclos, the widow, L
Madame Marie De LEnclos, whose
husband, Captain Raoul De L'Enclos,
an honorably discharged officer in the
French army, had brought his bride
there Immediately after his marriage.
The captain had died a year after the
birth of his daughter, and Madame De
L'Enclos and the little girl Narcisse
had lived in secluded magnificence, till
one season on trip to Calcutta, they
had met Harold Harcourt, the younger
son of an English nobleman, who was
then visiting a cousin in the Indian
city. After a brief acquaintance the
young girl, then only IS, and Harcourt
were married. The young pair went
back to the hill country palace and the
mother left for a continental VOYAGE
from which she never returned, though
1t was given out that she had dad
while abroad Then the Harcourt baby
came-a boy-and when he was two
years old he met a tragic death. There
had never been anything to give rise to
suspicion about the Harcourt home.
any more than at the Hackleye es-
tates, nor was any seeming connection
between the two families instituted ex-
cept that both were accredited with
possessing large diamond interests in
Africa, and the peculiar likeness be-
tween the two women, and the similar
ity in handwriting and in the euphony
of the names of the two men. Portraits
of Harcourt on the walls of his Indian
home were photographed and sent to
America and were an exact tally for
the man held in Jail in Chicago.

COWS POISONED BY SORGHUM
Investigation at Colorado station
LeadS TO Discovery Of Deadly
Poison In Plant.
ey I. q. NEwsoM. Colorado Asricultur-


Ry l. d. NEwsoM. Colorado Agricultur-
al College.)
Sorghum, Kaflr corn and Johnson
grass are often poisonous, when
grown without sufficient water and
fed green.
One case has come under my obser-
walton already this season. Seven
cows were turned in to clean up a
small patch of Kaf1r corn that was
badly stunted on account of drought.
Having dim recollection of some
danger associated with pasturing
Kaflr corn, the owner stayed with
them, as he said, ito see that they
did not bloat." In less than five min
utes one of the cows began to stag
ger and died before she could be driv-
en- from the field. Three more died,
and the remaining three were greatly
depressed, but finally recovered.
This incident calls to mind SINH
lar occurrence at Brighton, Col, sew
eral years ago, when 80 head Of mich
cows were turned in to small patch
of Kaf1r corn growing above the ditch,
and 10 of them were dead in 80 min
utes.
This Brighton incident led to an ac-
tive investigation of the cause Of poi
soning in these cases. Professor
Avery Of the Nebraska experiment
station came to Colorado at the sug
gestion of DR.. George H. Glover. and
succeeded in demonstrating the active
poison to be hydrocyanic or prussic
acid-one of the most deadly poisons
known.

camp were the boys, while the girls

Mary was the youngest child in a
family of seven. She had just come
home from college and her future
was before her. Father and the boys

and the girls held out for society.
"She needs quieting down." Ethel

statement, That's why she ought to

to do the family credit when she mar

from the door.
There was a chorus of "ohs" as
they all turned to look at her. She

coat. Her fair hair was tied with

WINTER FODDER FOR CATTLE
This Is a Season Where Advantages
OF Scientific Feeding Are Made
Especially Prominent.

In the live stock on farm are con-
centrated a large proportion of the
values derived from the cultivation of
the land and the expenditure, in vari-
GUS ways, of the farmers time and la
Dor. To dispose of it before it shall
have reached that stage of maturity
when 1t will bring the largest returns
is, then, to sacrifice a large share Of
the stock raiser's income. Yet, in the
presence of a general scarcity Of hay
and pasturage, 1t has seemed to some
that the sacrifice Is unavoidable. Let
all such take courage!-and at the
same time take an inventory Of the
resources that yet remain for carry
ing stock on through another winter,
or on to a point where both the
weight Of the animals and the state of
the market shall indicate that the
opportune moment has arrived for
selling.
Corn fodder, oat and wheat straw,
and short or immature grain crops
these, when carefully husbanded, will
be found to supply very effectively
the place of hay or pasture. Many
root crops also promise to be album
dant. By carefully feeding these with
some grain, in a balanced ration,
large economies may be effected and
yet the stock show little If any dimi-
mutton in its growth. This is a sea-
son where the advantages of scien-
tifc feeding are made especially prom
inent. The agricultural extension d.
vision of the University Of Minnesota
will soon publish helpful bulletin on
this important subject.

Weighing and restIno MIlk

There is but one sure way to deter
mine the difference in value between
the good and the inferior COW. Weigh
ing and testing daily is only a bust
ness proposition. 1t is the only safe
way of determining what price to ask
for a COW In selling her or of what to
pay when buying. No intelligent farm
er will sell a COW for $50 that will
make him a net profit of $40 or $50 a
year; neither will he keep a COW that
doesn't pay him profit If he knows It.
Test and weigh the milk is the way
