For a moment there was silence.
Inen Garcia spoke again.
You have nothing to fear 1t is my
thought that unless our American
friends make a speedy ending Of this
campaign they will be routed by dis

AS Garcia turned to his tent the man

face.

But the sounds did not come. AS
Holton at length opened his eyes he
saw the man writing by the light of
the fire upon small pad lying on his
knee.

friend" muttered Holton to himself.
and rising from his blanket he walked
noiselessly toward the fellow he had
first seen in the dining-room at the
New Willard.
SO deeply was the man engrossed in
his writing that Holton's movement
was nnnoticed by him. And for this

he had gone two steps.

WATER IN BUTTER.

Fourteen million dollars are annually
lost to dairy interests IN the United
States through the low moisture con-
tent of butter The maximum legal
amount Is 10 per cent; the average for
the United States is only ll6 per cent.
An additional S5 per cent. might be
added. making the water content 10 pcr
cent. without exceeding tho legal limit
and without deterioration in quality OF
the nroduct. Now, how can the moisture
content of butter be controlled? There
are many factors influencing moisture
content Of butter, but the two most i'm
no,tant are the churuing temperature
and the amount Of working.
Churning temper ature is Of funda-
mental importance. During fail and

GEORGE T. POWELL,
Agricultural Experts Association.

Fruit trees are propasdtcd by two
methods grating and budding. In
grating, the wood of the preCedinG
years growth is cut ana made INTO
pieces containing three buds. These
are inserted into the roots OF Seeding
trees in winter or in the tops or young
trees which are cut off in the spring
and one or two CRAFTS set in, which
will grow ana make the future top Of
the tree.
i'm budding, t.e bark Of Seeding or
young trees is opened in July or Au-
gust. sometimes in September, when
buds on the present years growth are
cut off and inserted. bound tightly
with raffia, when in Il few days th"
bud unites with the branch in which 1t
is inserted ana the following spring
grows into a tree of the same variety

corn should never make up more than
one-half to three-nfths OF the concentrate
part of the ration. 1t needs roughase
as consalks or hay fed with it, for
corn is poor in protein, but rich in diges-
tible carbohydrates. So for dairy cows.
corn should be ground and fed with
bran middrngs or ground oats which are
richer in protein,
