 Painter" he said, rather humbly.
 Betty's eyes frightened. Here was an opportunity to make this recreant youth pay for his pie.
 Then you can come right up to the house and paint the veranda chairs for me-" she said decisively. T was going to do them myself, but you might as we'll pay for the pie.
 Very well,'' he said with aston ishing meekness, considering his size and strong, square chin.
 They had reached the house by this time, the tramp limping painfully after her through the prickling stub ble of the orchard.
 Betty turned to speak to her com panion, but she was silent in the face of his manifest amazement at their destination.
 You said it was your pie" he re- preached her. Why, l could have sworn Aunt Alicia made it."
 Miss Alicia?" fautered Betty. "Why its made by her recipe-she showed me how-why do you call her your aunt?"
 Because she is," returned this amazing tramp cheerfully. "The only and best aunt fellow ever had. Are you visiting herr"
 Betty told him the circumstances.
 "I never received her letter" he said with chagrin. "I came down the river in a canoe, took notion to go in swimming before I came up to the house, and left my clothes on the shore. When I came out my own clothes had disappeared, and l found these. I had to wash them out first and dry them in the sun before I put them on, and then I came on up to Aunt Alicia's, knowing 1 had some old clothes in the kitchen loft cham Der. I found Aunt Alicia was not at home, but I discovered the cherry pie and annexed it, and, believe me, Aunt Alicia hasn't anything over you on cherry pies. But l don't believe therell be another one just like this" :"
 Betty blushed. "If you are Miss Alicia's nephew, you must be the art ist of whom she is so proud-Mr. Cor don Craig" said the girl rather shy ly, as she remembered all she had said to him an hour before.
 Gordon Craig was quite right. There never was just such another cherry pie as that one which Betty made and Gordon stole-which episode intro duced them to each other and finally ended in Miss Peck becoming Betty's Aunt Alicia as we'll as Gordon Craig's. Copyright, 1915. by the Mcclure Newspa-

BETTY'S CHERRY PIE By CLARISSA MACKlE.

It was such a delectable cherry pie i-fiaky, pale-brown crust, with delicate pink juice oozing through tiny hole at the top as if to give hint Of the imprisoned rapture within.
 Because it was her first really suc- cessful cherry pie, Betty was highly elated as she placed it in the pantry window to cool. It was to grace the dinner table that night when her fa- ther returned from the city, hot and tired, after long day in the office.
 Later Betty changed her frock and with readable book went out to the hammock swinging under the apple tree.
 She loved this tiny vine-wreathed cottage which her father had hired for the season from its owner, Miss Alicia Peck. She fairly yearned over the polished mahogany furniture, the fine old china and the pervading at mosphere of bygone day that was completed by Miss Alicia herself, tiny little woman who clung to the customs of her mothers time.
 There was no one to notice when a ragged and unkempt young man appeared from the direction of the river and tried the kitchen door. But the key was under Betty's pillow in the hammock and all the other doors were locked as well, for Betty was cautious little soul.
 Then the intruder went around to the pantry window, glanced specula- lively at the removable screen-and saw the cherry pie.
 His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he reached long arm, pushed aside the screen, and removed the pie, plate and all. Betty's eyes popped wide open, just in time to glimpse the ragged stranger disappearing with the cherry pie.
 "Of all the-impudence" breathed Betty as she slipped from the ham, mock and followed him. There never will be another such cherry pie in this world!"
 When Betty came upon him, he was holding half the cherry pie in each hand, and his ecstatic expression and general stickiness of countenance proclaimed that Betty's effort was without doubt a success.
 What are you eating?' demanded Betty in an aggrieved tone.
 "Ambrosia," he replied with an unctuous smack of his lips.
 Betty started resentfully.
 That's nice way to eyade ex. blaming why you stole my cherry pie! I'd be ashamed, a great big. strong man like you-s-s-st-steal-ing pie!"
 Why steal plain bread and but ter, or even cake, when you can find pie like this? Cherry pie is my fa-

Unioue Bird Box Exhibit.

Chambersburg, Pa, held bird-box exhibit in the high school lately, and Our Dumb Animals tells us about it. Boxes and houses to the number of 256, of all colors, shape and sizes. be- sides a row of interesting nest places made of gourds 50 years old, comprised the exhibition. The prizes were beau tiful bird houses and books. Kindly criticism of the children's work was followed by painstaking instruction as to how it could be improved. They learned that birds do not like strong colors, or too ornamental houses; that they are attracted by quiet tints; that certain birds prefer an entrance placed high, others low. etc; that they are varied in their tastes and habits and particular about having the home that exactly suits them.

tein, carbohydrates, and fats. This minimum is known as the feeding standard for growing animals of the same class. If, then, we feed animals foods which contain nutrients suffi- eient to satisfy this standard, we should be and are feeding balanced ration. We have feeding standards which are adapted to all classes Sf live stock and for various conditions of production.
 The question is often asked wheth-
 CT or not it is necessary under all
 as set forth by a feeding standard.
 There is no question in my mind that there are conditions under which the feeding of a balanced ration would be
 impracticable from an economical
 standpoint. Our feeding standards are only approximate at best, and
 should be looked upon as guide rath- CT than as absolute requirements. The analyses of feeds are also aver
 ages since the composition of plants
 is affected by the character of the
 soil upon which they are grown, eli matic conditions, methods of curing, and other factors Variations must be made to suit the individual needs of the animals fed, and the feeder him. self must make these variations, guid- ed by the results obtained. Nothing is more true in live stock feeding than the old German adage, "The eye of the master fattens his cattle" How ever, we can say that the minimum Of protein must at least be satisfied, although an excess of protein may be fed, making the ration very narrow, but still economical. This condition will always arise where such feeds as alfalfa and cotton seed meal are cheap and fed literally. This extra but it makes economical ration.
 In figuring a balanced "a a,ion there are many factors to be considered. The mere meeting of the require ments will not always give a satis factory ration. few of the more important factors will be briefly treat ed. Feed selected should be such as will be relished by live stock. Good results cannot be expected from feeds which are not eaten with relish, no matter how much nutriment they con- tain. A ration should have enough roughage to give it sufficient bulk to satisfy the appetite of the animal. Furthermore. roughages are generally cheaper than concentrates. The crops raised on the farms should be used as much as possible and livestock is the best means through which to market bulky farm crops which might other wise be wasted. Variety stimulates appetite and therefore increases con sumption, which should be aecompa- lied by greater returns. Market val 1e of feeding stuffs should always be aken into consideration. The actual est of a successful feeding operation $ the profit made. If production is expensive, profit will be small, al. though gains may be satisfactory.

 1.-THE BALANCED RATION.
 By H. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Ami.
 maj Husbandry, U. of A.
 The writing of this article is un- dertaken with the express purpose in view of bringing out the facts which go to show that the balanced ration is a reality and not complicated i'm aginary scientific standard which is beyond the comprehension of all but the college professor. It is fact that a large proportion of practical feed CTS feel that it is good subject for discussion, but do not adopt it.
 From the preceding article it was learned that muscle and protein tis- sue in the body came from protein Heat. fat and energy come from car bohydrates and fats. The demand for these compounds varies with the needs of the body. When an animal is growing, and therefore building muscle, hide, animal matter in bone. etc., the demand would naturally be for protein if development is to take place normally. If the animal is ma ture and is being fattened, carbohy- drates and fats should be supplied literally, as they form fats more eco nomically than protein. If, then, the feeder supplies sufficient amounts of protein. carbohydrates and fats to ad- equately meet the needs of the ami nal fed under these varying condi- tions of growth. fattening work. etc, he is feeding balanced ration.
 The balanced ration is the result of experimental work where animals were fed known amounts of the va rious nutrients and their development noted. It was established that if growing animal were to develop nor mally it must be fed not less than a certain minimum amount each of pro-

OUSIED
BY LANE
BY Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 6.
On July |, the United States
reclamation service became a pork
barrel.
For 13 years the reclamation
service has been unique in gov
eminent work in that it has been
non-political. 1t has been nota-
bly, free from graft. as proved
by many Investigations and its
history has been marked by sue
cess. All this time Frederick ii.
Newell has been it's director.
Now the reclamation service
has taken its place along with the
political navy yard, the spending
of money on useless waterways
and the maintenance of useless
military posts.
When the reclamation service
was established and up to the
present time the work was car
ried on with funds received from
the sale of public lands in the
arid and semi-arid states of the
west.
Now a Junket.
These funds were used for the
irrigation work and refunded to
the treasury of the reclamation
settlers. theoretically the fund
was to be a continuing fund for
the indefinite reclaiming of
lands.
Under new law, passed by
congress July 80, 1914, but which
became effective July 1, money
from the sale of public lands is
hereafter to be put In the treasury
and expended, not by reclamation
experts, but by congress!
At the present moment this
results in the remarkable specta-

senger train crashed through a
weakened trestle, and dropped IN
a Northern Pacific freight train
on q track below. Three persons
were killed and 90 injured.
The lines maintain the accident
was unavoidable.
The inquest began at 10 o'clock
today, and Immediately develop
ed into an effort of che two rail-
roads to disclaim responsibility.
Minor witnesses testified that
the steam shovel derrick, which
was part Of the N. P. train. swung
loose just before the freight pass
ed under the Milwaukee tres.le,
and tore out several underpin
nings of the trestle.
Woman on Stand.
Mrs. Albert Gehrke, an eye
witness of the accident, WHO
lived one-fifth of a mile from the
trestle, saw the derrick swing
loose and tear away the trestle.
It was shown that a brakeman
from the freight ran up to the
Milwaukee tracks to signal the
oncoming passenger, but arrived
too late.
The principal effort to dis
prove any responsibility, and thus
escape any damage suits, will be-
gin this afternoon when Frank

Pacific train, will testify that all
due precautions were taken to
keep the shovel from swinging
loose.
