Benton! But are you sure you are
strong enough to do ito"
For two of us-in this place." The
pale girl laughed derisively. 1T will
be like play, and the best possible
occupation for me-"

certain it's not too much for you

"All right but am going to bear
my half of the expense, remember"
And do the work besides? call
that an unequal arrangement pro-
tested Lucinda. She knew what must
be the condition Of her friends purse
after her long illness.
My month in the hospital made

mitted, but | need not be burden

You mean you have money saved

establishment "Wiu you kindly tell
me how you have done it., O wise

to save cent, and it worries me
more than can t"ll I'm sure | try
hard enough to be economical
Perhaps we shall find some Of the
little leaks later" said her friend, with
smile.
Two weeks had passed when, as
Lucinda was dressing one morning, she
called across to the little kitchen.
"Now, Alice, you've meuded this old
corset cover told you it was not

Her voice died away into astonished
silence. From the folded garment
something fell with thud to the floor.
1t was a silver half-dollar wrapped in
piece of paper, on which were writ
ten the two words, Five Minutes"
Lucinda slipped the silver into an
empty box in her bureau drawer, and
put on the mended garment thought
fully AS she was leaving for the
office she paused to call back, DO
you mind telling me what Five Min
utes' means?"
THAT was the time it took to mend
it," said Alice quietly.
Almost daily after that something
was added to the contents of the box;
silver halfdollars for each pair of
neatly mended stockings that Alice
had found discarded in a rag bag in
the bathroom. and varying amounts
for the undergarments and waists and
neckpieces that she freshened and re
stored to usefulness.

GREEN CUT BONE IS
RELISHED BY FOWLS
1t Contains All Elements Found
in Egg From Shell to Center
Saves Grain Bill.

Some years ago a certain poultry
Keeper wrote of his success with green
cut bone in flock of laying hens. All
the extra care this flock got was to
see that they got all the extra green
cut bone they could eat every day.
Laying was heavy, cockerels and hens
grew heavy; it saved other feed. When
next / heard that flock had gone to
smash after a couple of years, says
writer in Twentieth Century Farmer.
Too much pushing, too much green
bone. You cannot give hens all they
will eat of fresh meat, for green cut
bone is certainly fresh meat and fresh
bone mixed. A few years ago every
poultry writer was experimenting
with green cut bone and giving re-
Suits then the enthusiasm over green
cut bone died out. And yet there is
much to the ACCESSIBILITY of feeding
green cut bone in moderation each
day in certain amounts if you can get
it fresh, as it contains all the elements
found in the egg from shell to center,
while often much of the other animal
matter fed for eggs contains moth
ing of some of the egg elements, and
these must be supplied in other foods.
An ounce of green bone each day is
enough for laying hen. 1t must be
fresh; to feed it tainted means sick
ness in the flock, and soon worse. A
bone cutter is a necessity where win
ter eggs are furnished in large mum.

poses of his green bone scraps, ready
cut or shaved, and at low prices. An
ounce of green cut bone a day for
each hen saves just that much on
the grain bill.

CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
In THE NORTHWEST
Where Disease Has Not Yet Ap-
peared 1t Is Possible to Pre-
vent Its Introduction.
(By j. w. KALKUS. Washington Expert
mont Station

(By j. w. KALKUS. Washington Expert
ment Station)
During the last year there has been
comparatively large number of hog
cholera outbreaks in the northwest.
The condition, of course, will continue
to increase unless every hog owner
does his utmost to suppress it. Where
the disease has not yet occurred 1t is
possible to prevent its Introduction
The disease is due to infection, and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
infected regions being added to the
herd; the infection may also be car
ried on the clothing of human beings.
by birds, dogs, coyotes and in streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that the hogs begin dying
suddenly and rapidly.
When an outbreak occurs it is well
to Immediately call veterinarian, pre-
ferably one who is employed for this
purpose by the state. If the disease
proves to be cholera it is advisable to
Immediately separate the we'll hogs
from the sick ones, and isolate them as
completely as possible. All carcasses
should be burged or deeply buried and
covered with quicklime. All pens,
houses, utensils and feeding troughs
should be thoroughly disinfected with
one part crude carbolic acid to thirty
parts of water.
There is at the present time on the
market a serum which, if properly
made and injected, saves a large per
centage of both the well and sick hogs,
and if the serum can be obtained it is
highly recommended 1t should be
administered by a competent veteri-
marian.

matrimonial alliances between members

This country will not sanction any more.
It may be taken as certain King George
will never allow the Prince Of Wales or
any of his other sons or his daughter to
wed Germans.
The immediate reason for a growing
feeling against such marriages is that
several relatives of King George are now
fighting against England.

other of King Edwards nephews, the only
son Of the late Duke and Duchess of

dom having been the late Duke Of Edin-
burgh.
