CHAPTER III.

II was October when the consulta-
tion was held In the library OF the
old Ffrench house on the Hudson;
December was very near on the sunny
morning that Emily drove out to the
factory and sought Bailey in his of

Il wanted to talk with you." she ex-
planned. as that gentleman rose to
receive her. we have known each
other for a long time, Mr.. Bailey;
ever since came from the Sacred
Heart to live with Uncle Ethan. That
is a very long time"
TITS a matter of five or six years"
agreed the charmed Bailey, contem.
plating her with affectionate pride in
her prettiness and grace. "You used
to drive out here with your pony and
spend many an hour looking on and
asking questions. You'll excuse me.

twelve years. And there he is" he
turned in his revolving chair and
rolled up the shade covering the glass
set door into ,the next room, my
manager. Lestrange.'
The scene thus suddenly opened to
the startled Emily was sufficiently
matter-of<act, yet not lacking in a
certain sober animation of its own.
Around drafting table central in the

EXCELLENT FEEDS
TO FATTEN LAMBS
Use OF Alfalfa for RouGhage
SimpIines Question Com
siderab1y-Peas are
Recommended.

(By J. r. MNULTY. Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying to
solve is that of the most economical
concentrate to be used in fattening his
lambs.
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for a roughage simplifies the
above problem considerably. Alfalfa
supplies the protein, and when fed
with fattening concentrate. as corn
or barley. reduces the amount Of feed
required for a pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is just trifle better, pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed in con-
nection with one of the legume hays,
as clover or alfalfa. There is little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay or
with corn stover. This follows from
the fact that such a ration would lack
considerably In protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat excel corn,
pound for pound. when fed with rough
ages lacking protein, as the ones last
named. Whole barley may be fed
very successfully to fattening sheen
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased for a price comparing
favorably with that of corn in Colora-
do has suggested the feeding of this
concentrate with alfalfa hay for fat
tening lambs. In this combination,
however, We have two feeds high in
protein and consequently an unbal-
anced ration. Oil meal is fed quite
extensively with timothy hay and
roots. In which combination it gives
very good results. On the other hand,
very few records of sheep fattened on
cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
able. for, as rule, protein rich feeds
(alfalfa and oil meaD are the most
expensive nutrients of a ration and
are not usually combined. 1t is very
probable, however, that some cotton
seed meal can be fed when alfalfa is
fed. II we use a mixed ration of corn
and cottonseed meal. The best pro-
portion would perhaps be one-third
cottonseed meal and two-thirds corn,
either shelled or cracked. This COM
bination should give good results and

USE OF GYPSUM
OR LAND PLASTER
Practice Nearly Always Increases
Yield ofCIovera and
Peas-How to
Apply at.

Pfaster nearly always increases the
growth OF the clovers and peas. Mixed
with an equal quantity of wood ash,
1t is largely used by gardeners and
truckers to stimulate the growth of
early potatoes. corn, beans and cab
bage.
Plaster is snlphate of lime, and
both the sulphuric acid and the lime
are active principals in plant growth
The time to SOW plaster on clover and
oats and peas is when the plants are
making their first leaves. Sow at the
rate of two bushels to the acre.
On land that has been recently
lined the application of plaster has
little effect. The only way to find out
the value Of plaster is to measure OF
an acre of clover or an acre of grass
and clover pasture and SOW, say, two
bushels to the acre. leaving the ad-
Joining acre upholstered. The growth
of the plastered clover will prove its
value in few weeks after the plaster
has been sown. When plaster can he
had for $40 per ton it will pay to SOW
1t at the rate of two bushels to the
acre on dry upland meadows and clo-
yer fields, on pastures. oats and peas
and on all the bean family. 1t is also
valuable for sowing on clover stubble
after the first crop has been cut for
hay. The dressing of plaster at this
time will greatly encourage the second
growth clover. On most every farm
there are variety of soils, and a fer
tiiizer that will prove of value for one
kind of soil and crop will prove of lit
tie value used on an adjoining field
but having an entirely different char
acter of soil. Test each field and

What should be a strong inducement
to every owner of a farm with cows
to make and sell butter Is the fact
that this form OF dairying makes it
possible not only to maintain the soil
fertility, but to constantly add to 1t.
While the solids in the milk con-
tain the most essential elements of
fertility, the butter fat contains no
element OF fertility at all. Hence, the
selling of milk In large quantities in
evitably reduces the productiveness
of the farm. unless large proportion
of the feed for the cows is bought off
the farms. instead of being grown on 1t.
On the other hand, butter contains
practically nothing that constitutes
an element of fertility in the soil. says
a writer in Farm Progress. For this
reason, II one has poor farm. and
wants to adopt line of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make 1t productive, the best plan will
be to keep COWS, and sell the cream
or butter And the more feed one
buys. and the less he takes of his
own place. except clover, the sooner
the soil may be made rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover. cowpeas. Canada peas
and other legumes, I have concluded
that for soil Improvement the red
clover or alsike. will be found the
best thing for the purpose. would
only use alsike in case the land
to be improved was rather moist, as
on that sort of soil it will usually
make a better growth than common
red or any other. except white clover.
and that does not make sufficiently
bulky growth to serve the purpose
best.
In some experience OF my own,
have found that sowing orchard grass
and clover together makes most ex-
cellent pasture: and. If one keeps the
stock off. 1t is possible to get
growth that will make fine mixture
for hay; but when clover is cut at the
right time and properly cured. there
is no more nutritious forage that can
be grown.
The Elbert County tribune., 1912-07-12

AS 1 have found that even work
stock can be kept In good condition
on well-cured hay, II allowed to eat
full ration at each meal, have about
concluded that on the great majority
of farms large portion of the grain
fed to work stock may be eliminated
II plenty of good. bright clover hay is
fed to all stock, and sufficient time
allowed for the horses to eat It. This
may seem to be sort of heresy to
the vast number OF men all through
the big corn states, who feed little
grain. except corn, and some of them
no roughage part of the year except
corn fodder. But I know whereof
speak: some of the best teams that
have ever seen are never fed anything
except clover hay, unless by chance
that runs low. and 1t is necessary to
feed timothy hay; and. when that is
done. a feed OF corn Is given along
with It,.
1t always seems to me very remark
able that SO few men use clover as the
principal feed for their stock, when
there is such inducement to do 3d. 1
have never known Of case where
any one was not pleased with the re-
suits in feeding clover hay to work
horses. If he had good. bright hay
and gave a reasonable grain ration
in the shape of corn with 1t.
Where the chief grain fed is oats.
the clover is not suitable, because the
percentage of starchy matter or its
equivalent would not be properly
proportioned to the proteids. As
know men who have for years not fed
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily. and they have kept
in fine condition. and at steady work
on nothing but nice. clean, bright,
well-cured clover hay. 1t seems to me
that great many men are wasting
money in their method of feeding.
and are falling to improve their soil
because they do not SOW the clover
Probably the latter is the more i'm
portant point to be considered. Com
mon sense and clover are mighty
good factors in successful farming.

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine SO Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see II you
can put 1t out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake Individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years / had been
great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine.

potatoes. then meat, and 30 on, but In
a few days that craving. gnawing feel
Ing would start up. and would vomit

When started on Grape-Nuts. vom-
iting stopped. and the bloated feeling
which was SO distressing disappeared
entirely.
MY mother was very much bothered
with diarihoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
SO weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
