tng settlement work was not voiced
because. while Kerr was talking, Judge
Gilbert had teIephoned Williams to
usher Ms Hayes and Miss Kerr into
tie library
Followed By the other men, Gilbert
advanced 10 meet them, and after the
usual greetings had been exchanged,
offered them chairs.
You must pardon us" began Mrs.
Hayes. 1--WE did not expect to find
YOU so busy. To tell the truth, we
didn't expect to find two persons
here whom we have already visited -
She looked at Kerr and her husband,
I'm the Cheerful Giyer," said Kerr
with a humorous gTimace which pre-
tended to show that the donation was

we don't deserve it, indeed we don't -
Kerr walked into the private Office
and Gilbert, catching his eye, followed
him The boss said something; Gil
bert looked at the women and then
nodded his head in assent. DR.. Hayes,
also catching the boss eye, strolled
away from the group casually as the
Judge rejoined It A word with him
was all that Kerr required The mas
ter of Locust Lawn was setting the
stage with an eye that overlooked no
detail. There was too much at stake
for him to neglect to interpolate any
thing effective which chance might
throw in his way.
AS the two men walked back into
the library. Mrs. Hayes was saying:
Or Hayes and I have had quite an
argument, and here are the lawyers,
Gloria, who can settle the question for
US. Can woman steal from her hus-
band, Mr. Kendall?"
Kendall knitted his brows in per
plexity. Really, Mrs. Hayes. that is

Gloria put in. There was a general
laugh at this which she did not relish.
I'm talking seriously. If it weren't
SO. We mightnt be here begging
money"
so you are after money" said
Judge Gilbert lightly. Then you must
tell me why I should contribute to
keep men from stealing from their
wives, YOU who have no one to steal
from you"
Gloria was not to be diverted from
what she had to say. These men to
whom she was talking represented to
her what was best in Belmont, what
was best in manhood She wished
them to see the truth as she saw it

SILAGE ALLOWANCE FOR cow
Fifteen Pounds May Be Given in Morn
ing and Same Amount in Evening"
Well to Feed Regularly.

A COW weighing 1000 pounds will
consume on an average about 80
pounds of corn silage daily Fifteen
pounds may be fed in the morning
and Is pounds In the evening. The
allowance may be increased or de-
creased in proportion to the cows
weight and individual needs Some
COWS weighing 1000 pounds require
more silage than others of the same
weight.
1t is well to feed regularly, and it
does not make much difference when
the cows are fed, provided they are
fed regularly. AS a rule, we believe
it better to feed silage Immediately
after milking in the morning rather
than before. If care is not exercised
there is some danger of the silage
tainting the milk when fed at the time
of milking.-Hoard's Dairman.

GET STARTED WITH ALFALFA
When Land Is First InocuIated Many
Of Smaller Plants May Have but
Few Bacteria at Work.

It is interesting to examine young
alfalfa plants and note how quickly
they obtain the benefit of nitrogen
gathering bacteria. Plants less than
four weeks old may have two or three
nodules on single root and have a
countless number of bacteria furnish
ing nitrogen from the air.
When land is first inoculated by the
use of soil from an old field one may
find much unevenness in the size of
plants at an early age, due to the fact
that the taller plants are getting an
abundance Of nitrogen, while the
smaller plants have few or no bac-
terra at work for them. 1t is for this
reason that a second seeding on land
that has been made to grow alfalfa
successfully is much surer than first
seeding

STORAGE OF FOREST LEAVES
They Make Economical and Suitable
Material for Poultry Scratching
shed and for Nesting.
By NJ. A. CovERDELL.)

II farmers only understood the
many uses to which leaves could be
put, mere Of them would be stored.
Some may think it takes too much
time and labor, but they are easily
and quickly gathered in various ways.
One good plan is TO have cheap bar
rels handy, fill them with leaves, and
set them away where rain or snow
will not reach them.
Another method by which the stor-
age Of leaves may be accomplished is
that of using common gunny of bur
lap sacks. These, also, may be stored
away without emptying the sacks, and
they will be in convenient shape to
use few at time during the winter.
If one has only a small number Of
sacks, the leaves may be carried and
emptied from the sacks into some out
building not in use; but where one de-
sires to store a considerable quantity,
we find that bed-sheets, or similar
pieces of cloth, are excellent for the
purpose.
Simply spread them on the ground;
rake up the leaves with a common
garden rake and pile them on the
cheets; catch hold Of each of the four
corners and draw them together. A
large quantity can be carried in this
manner, and when it is desired to
empty the sheets, let go of one corner
and allow the leaves to roll out
There are numerous uses to which
the stored leaves may be put. They
make a suitable and economical lining
for the storage pits. The poultry
scratching-shed is another place they
may be utilized to a good advantage.
We also have used them for nesting.
They are excellent for bedding pur-
poses in the dairy barn, the hog house
and the horse stalls. Then, after they
have been used for any of these pur-
poses, they form fertilizer that is
hard to equal they having absorbed
all the rich liquids and juices wher-
ever they have been used.
These are deposited with the leaves
when they are scattered over the soil,
and the rejuvenating effect is thus
greatly enhanced by the combined in
1uences Of the liquids and rotted
manure

Sheen Value TO the Farm,

The care Of a flock of sheep is a
job a good deal less sweaty and labori-
Gus than the swing Of a scythe and the
hoe in an unending effort to kill off
the weeds. In the presence of such a
flock the weeds rapidly disappear, and
the grasses take possession of the
ground.
Mutton always commands a profit.
able price; and the combined returns
from mutton and wool, added to the
services of the sheep in keeping down
the weeds and enriching the land
perhaps make the flock a highly valu-
able contributor to the prosperity of

Better Tenant Farming.

Farm leases should encourage the
long time occupancy of farms and the
feeding of more live stock. A better
system of tenant farming brought
about by longer leases and the en-
couragement to feed live stock, instead
of growing grain crops for market
would be a mighty factor in rural i'm
provement.

had some connection with his news

would also begin to look about for a
