Lefty Lane. Poniotowsky troubled him
horribly and seemed to rise before
through his eye-glass. making the
boys belief In good things ridiculous.
He wrote note to Ruggles. saying
that he would be back late and not to

business to put her duty before her,
and that he had Judged her quickly

motor took him. and It made him
more affectionate toward the English
woman. He sat back In his car. look

misty golden forests. as through the
misty country his motor took its way.
The breath Of England was on his
cheeks, he breathed In its odors fresh
and sweet, the wildness air was cool

content with his youth and his lot.

She did not appear to hear him. In
deed she was not looking at him, and
Dan saw Prince Poniotowsky making
his way toward their table across the
room.
Lefty Lane rose. Dan put her cloak
about her shoulders. and glancing to-
ward Ruggles and toward the boy as
indifferently as she had considered
tho newcomers. who formed small
group around the brilliant figure OF
the actress. she nodded good night to
both Ruggles and Blair and went up
to the Hungarian as though he were
her husband. who had come to take
her home. However. at the door she
sunciently shook OF her mood to
smile slightly at Dan:

And Dan fumed as he turned his
back. "Expensive! There you are

Dan looked at the clock: It was AFT

ty going on with her performance.
The other note. which he opened
more slowly. was from Ruggles. and It
began in Just the same way as tho
dancers had begun:

Ruggles left no word Of advice. and
unconscious of this master stroke on
the part Of the old man, whose heart
yearned for him as for his own son.
Dan folded the note up and thought
no more about Ruggles.
When m hour later he came ont OF
the Carlton he was prepared for tho
life of the evening. He stopped at
the telephone desk and sent tele-
gram to Ruggles on the Lusitania:

Because it is so powerful, it will heal

Turnips a Valuable Feed.

While an analysis does not find
them rich in solid elements, their
value lies in their appetizing and
regulating properties. They furnish
green substance for winter feeding,
regulate the digestive organs and
keep the stock in the best of health.
In feeding COWS the trouble of
which so many complain, namely,
"tainted MILK has not been expe-
rienced. The turnips are cut up, so
as not to choke the COW, and fed only
as part of the regular ration. Avoid
feeding in excess and "treating" the
COWS at odd times.
Turnips may be proftably substi-
tuted for much high-priced grain. In
feeding sheep turnips are of especial
value. They furnish the bulk and
succulence so essential.
For hogs and poultry cooked turn
ips are relished much more. The slop
is thickened with bran or shorts. To
poultry it is fed as a warm mash in
the evening and results are very
good. Sometimes I cut few turnips
In two and throw them into the runs
Turnips are very good for young
pigs, promoting growth and produce
ing bone. They are also very good
for brood sows and may constitute at
least half of the ration. After far
rowing they are fed in reduced quan-
titles and seem to induce milk pro-
duction.-Farm and Home

STARTING A MINK FARM.

The raising of wild animals for
est and the biological. survey offers
the following practical hints on mink
farming: Minks should be kept in the
proportion of one male to five or six
females, and each breeding female
should have a separate pen Rutting
begins about the middle of February,
and the young are born about the
middle of April. The male should be
kept by himself except at mating
time, when he should be admitted to
the females pen for about one day.
The females must be kept separate or
they will be likely to kill each 9TH
er's young. The male would also kill
them if he had chance.
Bread and sweet milk, corn mush
and milk, or corn mush cooked with
bits of meat in it, is the best STEADY
food. Meat, which may be of very
cheap kind, or fish should be provid-
ed about twice a week. Feed once
day, except females that are suck
ling young, which should be fed
twice. Provide fresh water regular
ly. Do not salt the food. Keep pans
clean and feed only as much as the
animals will eat up clean at each
feeding.
Pens should be five or six feet
square, the sides of smooth wide
boards cut four feet long and set up
with the lower end resting on a foot
ing of stone or concrete eighteen
inches in the ground. The sides may
be of heavy wire netting instead of
boards, but in that case the top
would need to be netted or the ami
mails would climb out. Pens may be
built economically in groups of four
or more. The floor of the pen should
be the bare ground.
Boxes about two and one-half by
one and one-half feet in size should
be provided for nests and should have
hinged lids SO as to allow their be-
ing opened and examined The boxes
may be outside the pens, bolted to
the fence with hole in the fence and
box to admit the mink-Farm and

PRESCRIPTION FOR sT1NGY MAN

In the January Woman's Home
companion appears a story in which
is related an account of a prescrip-
tion given to an exceedingly stingy
farmer by doctor. The farmer took
the prescription to the druggist. The
druggist told the farmer that he could
not fill the prescri ptioh and said to
the farmer: ''If you will read it
yourself you will see why" Where
upon the farmer adjusted his glasses
and read to his astonishment:
zone hired girl to be taken as soon
as you can get ner, and kept con-
stantly on hand thereafter.

WINTER CARE OF THE BABY.

Don't let any person, especially If
he or she has a cold fondle the baby,
for a cold may be infectious and
transferred to the child. .s
Don't let a stranger kiss the baby,
as he or she may have a disease cas-
lily transmitted to the child.
Keep the baby warm and dry. Give
it plenty of fresh air and sunlight.
Don't dress the baby too warmly
If it has too much clothing on it will
perspire and the danger of it's taking
cold is greatly increased. Guard
against sudden changes in tempera-
ture. ......- ..-.... ...-.~. ......
Healthy children should have plen-
ty of fresh milk.
Never give the baby a sip of beer
tea or coffee. *# "
Keep the baby's clothing loose at
all times and let it kick.
Give the baby plenty of nourish-
ment. If it does not gain in weight
each week, there is something wrong
and doctor should be consulted.
"FreQuent warm baths at night
are necessary" DR.. Yeager advises
"This keeps the skin clean and the
pores active, that they may carry off
the poisonous matter. After the warm
bath, the baby should be placed in a
warm bed and allowed to sleep. The
room should be airy, we'll ventilated
and dry"
