day when Paulham appeared in the
shelter tent Curtiss speaks nc

But in England we have tried

OF sn1ate.rnity seemed more
than she could bear. She met
one of the nurses ia the hall, told
her that she was leaving but that
she did not wish to disturb Mr..
Kempton now, and for her to
explain to him later. Then she
went down to the library and
telephoned for a cab.
A fine mist was falling, which in.
creased the grayness OF the dawn. The
streets were deserted save for an oC-
easional milk wagon or prowIing cab.
How strange the city looked in the early
morning-long rows OF sleeping houses
with drawn blinds aud closed doors. 1t
al seemed to emphasize the cold desoIa.
ton that was in her heart.
As she stepped from the cab, her own
house rose before her gray and forbid
ding. The heavy door yielded to her key.
Inside the hall was very dark, only the
faintest light came through the stained
glass windows.
Softly she stole upstairs. The thick
carpet gave out no sound and noiselessly
she reached her door. For a moment
she hesitated and looked up to the floor
above. If she might only go to him now
If she might creep into the warmth and
strength of his arms
Might not he intuitively feel some
thing of her mood-of what she had been
so near tonight Might it not lead him
TO respond in some way to her need of
him?
She half turned toward the stairs
then the futility of it rushed over her. IL
was not pride that kept her from making
the effort now-it was only a conviction
that nothing could ever avail.
Then she opened the DIOR of her room.
A light was burning by the dresser. Her
husband lay across her bed, his face bur.
led in white silk negligee she had left
there.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS

Good blood is essential to the producing
of good horses, but not any more 60 than
the material that forms the food for pro
ducing the animal when once started In
life.
Ventilation, both night and day, is es.
sential to the health Of poultry. Many
diseases among fowls are traceable to the
want Of pure air.
By some seedsmen sweet clover is cata-
Iogued as Bokhara or bee clover. Il lie a
fine thing for bees, as the flowers secrete
fine quality Of nectar and large amounts
oft.
Remember to supply plenty of grit to
the young poultry. They need it as much
as mature birds. Grit forms part of their
digestive system.
The increase in flock Of sheep repre-
sents almost entire profit to the man
who has no rentals to pay and keeps his
sheep on government lands.
The incubating season il practically
over with poultry, so far as profit to che
owner is concerned, and the Minnesota
experiment station advises that oil old
Meeting material be taken out and burned,
and that all Westinghouse be disinfected
and given a coat Of liquid lice-kiIIer; after
which fresh straw may be placed in them
for late layers. The creosots preparations
sold at lumber yards for wood preserving
have been used with good effect as lice
killers,
The movement OF so many thousands Of
young people from the farm to the city Is
largely caused by bad roads which isolate
their homes and render the world about
them inaccessible. The addition TO the
urban population lessons the producing
force Of the farm and at the same time
creates greater demand farm products.
This means higher cost of living and an
undesirable situation results.
The minus quality Of our soils lies not
so much on the chemical side OF the soil
as upon the Wretchedly poor physical
condition induced through the lack of any
attempt to return to the soil that vital as
tribute which makes for productiveness-
humus: which together with rational till

HINTS ON SAVING

Here are few hints on how not tC
save:
l. Don't go without your lunch, even
once; it will iniure your health.
2. Don't walk home after a days
shopping; you can save money later, but
never a new constitution after your one
and only one has been undermined.
g. Don't sew in the twilight. Artiic.
ial light is cheaper than the bill of an
oculist.
4. Don't wear thin clothing on cool
days; flannel is cheaper than medicine.
5. Don't use cheap soap. 1t will
necessitate an expenditure in cold cream,
etc, to remedy the harm upon the skin.
6. Don't try to do the work Of the up.
holsterer or carpet layer. You may il
you do, never feel again like trying piece
of hard work.
z. Don't oVerWork; nobody will thank
you sufficiently for it aud nerves and
temper may be permanently ruined.
