her daughter, who believes him innocent.
Strangely enough too, that's Norris, who
was teller at the time. He's president OF
the bank now had talk with him this
morning. He insists that Pedders was too
honest to touch dollar; says he knew him
too well. But he offers no explanation as
to where the securities went So there you
are! Everyone else regards him as a
convicted thief, who scarcely got his just
deserts. He's a social outcast, and a
broken, spiritless wretch besides. How can

a man?"

HOME MADE GRAPE
JUICE is HEALTHFULL
Makes Use OF Waste Grapes And
Furnishes An Inexpensive Table
Dainty.
L. L. BURRELL.
Maryland Agricultural College.

On many farms large quantities OF
grapes go to waste each year, because
they cannot be kept long in the fresh
state. House wives who put up un-
fermented Juice during the grape har-
vest, not only utilize much fruit now
lost, but also add healthful and ap-
petizing product to their winter stores.
For this purpose, use only clean.
sound, well ripened grapes. If light
colored juice is desired, put the grapes
In clean cloth sack and tie up. Then
hang up securely and twist it, or let
two persons take hold of the ends of
the sack and twist until the greater
part of the juice is pressed out
Next gradually heat the juice in a
double boiler, or stone jar in pan
of hot water, so that the juice does
not come in direct contact with the
fire, at temperature of $50 to 195
degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is best to use
thermometer, but if there is none at
hand, heat the juice until it steams,
but do not allow it to boil. Put it in
glass or enameled vessel to settle for
twenty-four hours; carefully drain the
Juice from the sediment and run
through several thicknesses of clean
flannel. After this, fill into clean bot
ties, or ordinary glass fruit jars. Do
not fill entirely, but leave room for the
liquid to expand when heated again.
Fit thin board over the bottom of
an ordinary wash boiler. Set the filed
bottles in it, fill in with water to within
about an inch of the tops of the bot
ties, and heat gradually the same as
before. Then take out the bottles and
cork or seal Immediately. 1t is we'll to
cover the corks with sealing wax or
paraffin to prevent mold germs from
entering.
Care should be taken to not heat
above 200 degrees Fahrenheit as the
flavor of the juice is likely to be in
jured. Also do not put the juice in
large bottles. If properly made and
bottled it will keep indefinitely, if not
exposed to the air or mold germs; but
when bottle is opened it should be
used at once like canned goods to keep
1t from spelling.

Most hens are moulting now and will
need as good treatment as you can give
them so that they will be in condition
to lay as soon as possible.
The method of forcing the moult by
withholding the feed for time and
then feeding heavily has largely gone
out of use because it was found thai
the hens would lay no sooner, if as
soon, as where they were allowed to
moult naturally.
In order to promote the growth Of
feathers, be sure the feed contains
plenty of protein. If you have been
feeding pretty heavily on beef scraps
you perhaps will not need to change
the feed much. Some add about 1C
per cent of linseed meal to the ration
in order to aid the growth of feathers
Sunflower seeds, when available, make
a fine addition to the feed at this time

HAIRY VETcH PROVIDES FIRST
CLASS FEED.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Hairy Vetch, also known as sand OF
winter vetch, is an annual legume, that
is, like clover, cowpeas, and soybeans,
it has a power of utilizing and storing
up in the soil the free nitrogen of the
air
It is therefore an excellent crop to
plow under as green manure, and for
this purpose it may take the place of,
and be handled the same as crimson
clover.
1t is well adapted to all sections Of
Maryland as far as climate is con.
cerned, seldom winter killing even in
the coolest sections of the State II
sown early enough in the fall
AS a green manure crop it will be
found most valuable in sections where
crimson clover winter kills frequently
Owing~to the cost Of seed, however, il
can hardly be recommended for green
manuring in sections where crimson
clover succeeds well.
The greatest returns from vetch will
be secured when IL is used as a ha,
plant. 1t yields large crops of excellen
hay, but owing to its habit of viney
growth 1t is best to SOW with 1t wheat
rye or winter oats to hold 1t up.
While 1t may be sown in corn at tn,
last cultivation, vetch succeeds bes
when seeded on land prepared tn,
same as for wheat.
