The particular feature of the station
is a pumping plant which lifts two

have a pumping plant of this character
under state and government control
so that accurate and reliable informa-

operation, repairs, depreciation, etc.

I'm going to tell you about it,"
Miss AIinturn continued, $50 that it
may be a warning to you. Years ago
ten years, I suppose, I met some
body-never mind where. Il was an
inexperienced, impulsive girl and he
was my first conquest. One evening,
when he had been calling ON me, and
had said good night, he stopped at
the door and looked at me- was very
much in love with him, although he
had said nothing to me- I suppose
my lace told him all that he wanted to

these years and never told me Go

That's all answered her aunt quiet
IL.
But what happened, Aunt Jessie
Did he propose, or what?''
Nothing happened, my dear the
elder woman answered. On the fol
| lowing day I received a letter from
him He told me how madly he loved
me and begged that 1 would tell him
whether I returned his love. If I did
not answer, he said. he would know
that his love was hopeless. OF course
| I didn't answer"
But didn't you love him, Aunt Jes-
sie?' inquired her niece in astonish-
! ment.
MY dear, loved him with all my
heart But he said nothing OF mar
rage, and I am old-fashioned enough
to believe that proposal should pre-
cede any demonstration of affection.
And 1 knew he would never marry a
girl who had let herself be kissed.
That's why I want. to warn you,
Betty, dear. Never let any man show
any affection for you that is not pre-
ceded by an OFFER of marriage, or you

Il don't see that you have wrecked
your life at all; I think you are Just

bell ring in a moment" And the bell
pealed almost upon the words.
Half an hour later, when Miss Min
turn came downstairs she saw a tall
stranger standing on the hearth-rug,
listening with amusement to Betty's
chatter. He raised his head.
Aunt Jessie, this is Mr. GarYin,"
said Betty.
Aunt Jessie's cheeks were redder
than her niece's. AS for Mr. Garvin,
there was look in his eyes which
seemed to indicate that he had not
been wholly unprepared for the meet
ing
The next ten minutes were miser-
able ones for Jessie Minturn. To sit
there and see the lover of her youth
transformed into her niece's beau was
an unenviable position in which to find
oneself Miss Minturn summoned all
her dignity to her aid.
Well" said Betty at last, "as you
two seem such uninteresting company

dudgeon. Miss Minturn knew that 1t

ARRANGE THE FARM FOR CONVENIENCE

protect the orchard from the south.
An east front for the house is very
desirable.
The barn is the center Of operations
and about it should be grouped the
ather buildings in the most con-
venient places. The barn should be
situated so that the northwest and
southwest winds will not blow over
the barnyard toward the house For
this reason, it is best to have the barn
and yards east of the house The
barn should be open to the north and
to the south in order that the south
winds may blow through 1t should
serve as a Windbreak for the yards.
Ordinarily, the cribs and granary
should be near the barn and the hog

On the station we are also taking

point in this work is TO shorten the

seems TO be tremendous interest in
dairy and beef cattle, but there is lit
tie money or credit to invest in stock.
No one, however, is asked to go into
dairying on a large scale Immediately
but to secure two or three good ami
mails from which to start herd and
then to develop the herd slowly and
naturally from this foundation stock
This conservative method is urged in
order that there may be no failures on
the part of the people who are over
enthusiastic about dairying and who
know nothing about the business. The
same is true in the recommendation
of the development of the beef in
dustry.
The demonstration men are also ac-
tive in pushing the siIo propaganda
wherever there are sufficient number
of cattle to justify the placing of
silo on the farm. As a result of less
than six weeks work, one of the men
reports that at least seven silos viii
