she had been his refuge from trouble
for SO many years. With her he had
been able to forget his bitter unhappi-

when he most longed for her.

"Hubert-I didn't want to write it

She hated to give pain. Perhaps COM
passion had been the greatest force to
sweep her into Hubert Knolys' life
and now compassion for herself was
driving her out. She had begun to
feel sorry for the waste of herself her
love affair with married man was
causing; she had begun to pity her
own unshattered uncertainty.
And so she had been swept into
answering the longing of her own ma

she was not sorry for herself at all,

The young lawyer felt uncomfort-

cretly adore. And fremont and Lily
had become very good friends of late.
Everybody had expected that Lily
and Mervyn would marry soon. Their
engagement was believed to exist.
And fremont had other qualms on
this subject, knowing, as he did. that
Ferrand had been mixed up in some

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

Some years ago certain poultry
keeper wrote of his success with green
cut bone in a 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; 1t saved other feed. When
next I heard that flock had gone to
smash after a couple of years, says a
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
1t fresh, as 1t 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 1t tainted means sick
ness in the flock, and soon worse. A
bone cutter is a necessity where win

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
ment Station.)
During the last year there has been
a 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 1t. 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 1t Is well
to Immediately call veterinarian, pre-
ferably one who Is employed for this
purpose by the state. II the disease
proves to be cholera it is advisable to
Immediately separate the well hogs
from the sick ones. and isolate them as
completely as possible. All carcasses
should be burned 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 serum which, IL properly
made and injected, saves a large per-
centage Of both the well and sick hogs,
and IL the serum can be obtained 1t Is
highly recommended. It should be
administered by q competent veteri-
marian.

The natural home OF the potato is
the mountain valleys of South Amer
lea. Where natural conditions are IA
vorable for the growth Of a plant,
there it will reach the highest degree
of perfection. In the mountain valleys
of parts of the West are found con-
ditions of altitude, soil and moisture
naturally favorable TO the growth Of
the potato, with an almost entire alb
sence of harmful freezes and bac-
terra enemies.
In providing a suitable soil for po-
tatoes, the question naturally arises,
How shall we perfect and husband
fertility? Live stock is the real basis
of success in every agricultural dis
trict in the world The feeding Of
grains and grasses on the farm re-
places in the soil the vegetable matter
which produces the humus and fur
nishes the nitrogen that keeps up the
fertility of the soil. 1t is utterly i'm
possible to grow good potatoes with
out an open, porous soil.
Nothing but the legumes-alfalfa or
clover are good-should be used as a
foundation crop. The writer grows
alfalfa or clover-sometimes both
for three or four years previous to a
potato crop. The soil is broken up
in the fall quite deep. Fall blowing
is beneficial for the reason that it
puts the soil in better condition to re-
ceive and store heat from the rays
Of the sun than spring blowing. In the
spring the soil should be worked over
with disk or a spring-toothed har-
row until it is thoroughly fined. 1t is
very important that the soil be we'll
fined and firmed in order that the
root system of the young plant may
be able to secure plant food as quick
ly as possible.
OF all the factors in potato growing.
seed selection is by far the most i'm
portant. Some years ago the writer
undertook to improve and develop a
potato along the same lines that he
follows in improving his Shropshire
sheep and Shorthorn cattle, using the
best method of selection and giving
the seed plat the best possible Guilt
walton and care in order to obtain uni
formity of product. Since that time
he has been selecting seed potatoes Of
the size and type which he wants to
produce. AS a bounce potato is
about ideal in size, seed potatoes Of
that size were selected from the bin
in the spring and then four or five
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1915-01-08
Showing Shape
Hill o

acres were planted in a special plat
for seed, to be used for the main
crop the following year, This plan war
followed for II years With a potato
which 1t was said wouli degenerate
and ultimately run cut; but that po-
tato continued to improve during all
that time.
Several years ago Prof. e. r. Ben
nett, a specialist in potnto work, be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success In potato produc-
ton; but he wanted 10 take up and
further improve the stock. Out Of
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and PLAN I'd them in q
field by themselves, and when the pc.
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all Of them by hand and kept the
product of each hill separate. All
hills that did not have 20 tubers Of
uniform size, without knob, crack, or
rough end, were discarded. No hill
was selected unless it came within
these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how.
ever. to make about two hundred
pounds, and these were planted the
following spring. When harvested II
was a most marvellous row of pota-
toes. BY pursuing this method it is
expected that we will soon have a
potato that will make 25 perfect tu-
bers to the hill.
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
as we have been in the habit of Sc
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes, we would now have no breed Of
Shorthorns. II we used only the culls
and scrubs to breed from, our breeds
of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen-
Grated in the past is that the potato
growers of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings ur-
der the erroneous impression that
such methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes in the field,
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance of the top.
A large, perfect top, with several
stems of good shape and size, can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under it, and of more uniform quail
ity and size, than hill with a single
stalk or one with small weak ones.
