escape and start pursuit, but go in the
wrong direction. Hamlin is much excited
at finding a haversack marked c. S. A.
He explains to Molly that he was in the
Confederate service and dismissed in dis
grace under charges of cowardice At the
close of the war he enlisted in the regu-
lar service. He says the haversack was
the property of one Capt. LeFevre, who
he suspects OF being responsible for his

CHAPTER XIV.
Under Arrest.

Under Arrest.
One by one the barrack lights went
out as the tired troopers sought their
beds. HamlIn extinguished his also,
and only one remained burning, left
for emergency near the door, which
flung faint glow over the big room.
But the SeRgeant's reflections kept
him awake, as he sat on the foot of
his bed, and stared out of the open
window into the darkness. There was
little upon which to focus his eyes, a
few yellow CLEANS along officers row,
| where callers still fingered, and the
glow of fire In front of the distant
guard-house, revealing occasionally
the black silhouette of passing senti-
mel. Few noises broke the silence, ex-
cept the strains of some distant mu-
steal instrument, and voice far away
saying goodnight. Once he awoke
from revery to listen to the call of
the guards, as 1t echoed from post to
post, ceasing with "All well, Number
Nine" far out beyond the stables.
The familiar sound served to recall
him to the reality of his position.
What was the use? What business
had he to dream? For months now
he had kept that girls face before
him. in memory of few hours of hap
piness when he had looked into her
dark eyes and heard her pleasant
speech. Yet from the first he had
known the foolishness Of 1t all. He
was nothing to her, and could never
become anything. Even II he cleared
his past record and stepped out Of the
ranks into his old social position, the
chances were she would never over.
look what he had been. Her gratitude
meant little, nor her passing interest
in his army career. All that was the
natural result of his having saved her
life. He possessed no egotism which
permitted him to think otherwise

him a consciousness of the impossible
gulf between the private and the Off
GERS daughter. The latter might be

snonae az an Animal.

Nothing is less like a living crea.
ture than the common bath sponge,
vet the fact remains that sponges do
form a very important species OF the
animal kingdom. eating their food
and living their lives much as any
other animal would do.
The actual existence OF a sponge
commences with the separation from
the parent of a tiny particle. This
particle, whirling through space. event
ually attaches itself to piece Of
rock. and from that time It seeks its
own livelihood.
At the very commencement, with

in which are stored food supplies. By
and-by, as the youngster develops, the
currents in the water sweep into a
kind of bag the minute particles Of
food required, and the same currents
carry of undigested matter.
There are many varieties OF sponges
found at different levels Of the ocean,
some clinging to rocks, others to
mud.

DEMONSTRATION AGENTS FIND LITTLE
OPPOSITION TO THEIR WORK IN KANSAS
Federal Government the State and the Railroads Are Cooperating In
Endeayoring to Find the Most Suitable and Most
Profitable Crops For the Western
Part of the State.

| No one. however, is asked to go into
dairying on large scale Immediately
but to secure two or three good ami
mails from which 10 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 silo propaganda
wherever there are sufficient number
of cattle to justify the placing of a
silo on the farm. AS a result of less
than six weeks work, one of the men
reports that at least seven silos will
be built ON his recommendation one
five and the other four. One of these
agents is making contracts for the rails

Grass and Milo; the seed to be sold 10
the department of agriculture for dis
tribution in small quantities later
throughout the district. The other
two agents are also emphasizing the
value of pure seed and careful seel
selection in order to produce early
strains of milo, kafir and other
sorghums.
In addition to these definite recon-
mendations the men are working in
cooperation with schools in planning
| for definite demonstrations on small
plats and in organizing boys and
girls clubs and contests. They are
also continually called upon for farm
advisory work and this has already
developed to such an extent that all
the requests cannot possibly be han
died by one man for any one of the
districts. Then they are studying the
problem of soil blowing and giving all
available information concerning the
prevention of blowing by means OF

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
and cattle yards. Let the hog house
have south front and be so situated
that feed may be brought from the
granary to the feeding floor by means
of track and carrier 1t is best to
have the machine shed west of the
barn and wagon yards.
1t is very essential that the well be

least not in drain from them Have

be handy to fresh water.

When farm buildings are so incon-
veniently arranged that it requires
several unnecessary miles every day
to do the chores, many dollars worth
of time is lost.
Il know of one farm, particularly,
that was arranged solely for con-
venience," said J. H. Miller, dean of
the extension division. THE barn was
moved within 200 feet of the house in
stead of 400 feet, as it had been. The
interiors of the various buildings also
were rearranged and made as handy
as possible. If you figure the result of
this closely you will find that thus
farmer will have saved 1928 in 80
years on his own time, or in 10 years
on his time and that of his two hired
men. These figures, though approx
mate, show the value of systematic
plan of things on the farm"
The house should be on the highest
elevation of sNy of the buildings. and
should be protected on the north by
a windbreak, which in turn serves to
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

h ISTRICT Demonstration Agents

~ ISTRICT Demonstration Agents
for western Kansas are CO.
operatively employed by the
Kansas Agricultural College, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and the
railroads, the Rock Island cooperating
in the case of Clyde Mckee and the
Santa Fe in the case of George
Thompson. These agents have been
cordially received in the territory to
which they have been assigned and
there is little or no opposition to the
work. Indifference is noticed only
here and there and the great majority
of farmers and business men are glad
to have their services in western Kan
sas and are willing to cooperate in
every way, both in offering farms for
demonstration work and in supplying
funds for local expenses. Each man
has about forty co-operators already
selected Cthe desired number) who
will undertake definite demonstra-
tion work in soil and crop manage
ment and many more are planning to
handle their land according to his
recommendations even though he will
not have time to visit them more than
once or twice year.
Four fundamental demonstrations
are planned, namely:
l.. Spring blowing and summer fal.
low for wheat.
@ Spring listing and summer fal.
low for wheat.
g. Early discing and listing to the
inter-tilled crops, kafir, milo, sweet
sorghum or corn.
A. Early spring listing followed by
listing to kafir, milo, sweet sorghum
or corn.
The two latter demonstrations are
by far the most popular, showing that
the farmers are beginning to have
more faith in forage and feed crops
and live stock than in wheat. Each
man is urged to leave check plat to
be handled according to the usual
practices in the extensive agriculture
of western Kansas; but, in many
cases, the co-operator does not want
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1913-05-08

to leave this check plat, knowing that
the methods recommended by the
demonstration men are preferable and
believing that it would be a distinct
loss to farm according to the ordinary
methods.
In addition to this definite line of
work the demonstration men are
urging improved live stock both for
beef and GARY purposes and are rec
ommending the purchase and use OF
pure bred sires both of the beef and
dairy type, to breed up and increase
the herds already in existence. There
seems to be a tremendous interest in
dairy and beef cattle, but there is lit

ing straw and manure as surface
dressing on the land. The agents re-
port that the people of western Kan
sas, with only a few exceptions, are
courageous, hopeful and enthusiastic
and that it is a pleasure to work with
them.
The presence of the demonstration
agent in these communities is acting
as leavening influence and it is be-
lieved that the result of their work
will be lasting and will mean much
both in the development of better
agriculture and in the promotion of a
finer home life for the region.
