CHAPTER ".
Monday morningi Who does not
know that 1t is the dreariest, most de-
pressing morning of the entire week?
The morning following the Sunday
night on which Augustus Reeves had
accompanied Ezra Hardy home, in the
hope OF seeing Jane, was no exception
to this rule. Sounday had been a per-
feet day. Monday was dull and lower
ing, with a chill in the air that boded
rain.
Indeed, as Jane awoke and hooked
out of her window a few sullen drops
were beginning to fall. She recollect-
ed that Edward Sanderson had to re-
turn to town early this morning, that
he had probably already gone. She
heard the whistle of the six-forty- five
train up the road. That was perhaps
the very train that was to bear him
away from Milton. He had not said
when he would be back again. He
had mentioned that he hoped to spend
his summer vacation of two weeks out
here, but had not suggested that he
would be out for any week-ends be-
fore then.
A sense of dullness and staleness
came to the girl. Life was fearfully
tame in the country, she thought. Yet
only yesterday it had seemed ideal.
She dressed listlessly; then, hearing
her mother moving about below, hur-
ried little that she might help in the
preparation of breakfast. Her father
was bringing in the milk when she
reached the kitchen, and she took the
pail from him preparatory to straining
| 1t and setting it in pans in the cellar.
Her Father Complains About the
Family Cow
That cows not doing well this
year." Ezra complained to his wife.
She's getting old. l guess. We'd real
ly ought to sell her while she's worth
something and buy a good COW. 1t
would pay, too. for some of the sum-
mer folks would buy milk from u.s."
We'll, why not do it?" asked Jane.
She was a little irritated at her faith
er's dissatisfied tone. Was it not bad
enough for her to feel depressed with
out other people feeling the same way =?
Because the old COW won't fetch
near what the new one'll cost" Ezra
explained. And just now moneys
mighty scarce
1T has been for some time, hasn't
| lit?' remarked his daughter. 1T seems
to me that for several years I've heard
that sentence over and over"
She had not meant to speak sharply
and regretted having done so as she
saw her fathers face darken.

my fault I've done the best ] can

than by cultivating it. The house is

have to be mortgaged still more soon.
If mott don't know how Well get
along"
oh" Mrs. Hardy declared with de-
termined optimism, well get along
somehow, father. You stop your wor-
rying. In the first place, wen sell the
COW and we've got enough money to
pay for the new one. Then we'll sell
milk and cream to the city folks as you
said. So that will put us through ,he

Fattening For Market
The best time for marketing tur-
keys is from two weeks before Thanks
giving until the Christmas holidays.
This means that young turkeys should
be fed an increased amount of corn
from about the first of November. 1t
does not pay to fatten them in con-
finement. They should be allowed
their usual range and fed four times
daily. 1t is especially important when
fattening turkeys that the last feed at
night, just before they so to roost, be
abundant. Whole corn is an ideal
feed for fattening them.
The best price can be obtained
usually in local markets If the birds
are properly killed and nicely dressed.
They should he killed in the same
manner a chicken is killed-by stick
ing them with a knife and allowing
them to bleed to death. They should
be dry-picked, leaving a few of the
feathers on the extreme ends of the
wings. Dry-picking must be done as
soon as the bird is killed.
Select Small Birds For Table
Large turkeys, weighing twenty
pounds or over when dressed, are
usually old ones, and are not as ten
der and delicate as the smaller birds.
In selecting turkey to eat, it is wise
therefore, to select one of medium
weight. The wing feathers also are
an indication of the age of a turkey.
II the points of these feathers are
sharp 1t is sign that the turkey is
young: If the points are rounded the
bird is year old or more. The breast
bone in young turkeys is soft and ten
der, while in old birds it is. hard. firm
bone. In the old bronze variety the
legs of the young fowl are dark. al
most black, while in old birds they
are of a pinkish shade.

SOW WHEAT LATE
SURFACE ADVICE
That Is the Best Way to Avoid

anon, Juniata and lower Susquehanna
valleys where the Hessian fly damaged

The female is now laying eggs on

this Fail. They are the cause of
wheat assuming a bluish-green ap-
pearance. The best plan, and one
which he has tested, is to sow wheat
late This is the best time to start
In the southern counties.
DR.. Surface says: Some persons
nave suggested pasturing the infested
nelds with cattle, or with sheep so that
the tramping of the animals would
suggested to roll the fields with
roller, but neither of these suggestions
is worth much toward destroying the
pests One cannot spray for the Hes
sian fly after 1t is beneath the sheath
OF the leaf, because it is there pro-
tected one cannot crush it by rolling
or trampling, because what would do
plant and grind it to pieces In short,
there is no method of attacking the
larvae of the Hessian fiv after it is
once in the plant. Therefore, the best
possible means of avoiding it's dam
age must be in measures that will pre-
vent its appearance in the wheat.
The primary and most valuable means
OF all is to sow the wheat late. In
the southern part of this State it
should not be sown before the 25th of
September. For each full degree of
latitude northward it may be sown
two days earlier, and for each five
hundred feet of elevation it can be
sown day earlier in addition. Thus
one can figure out the earliest possible
GATE at which it is safe to SOW to avoid
damage by the Hessian fly, in accord
ance with the latitude and altitude.
In general, and especially during this
warm season, farmers should avoid
sowing everywhere in this State this
year until toward the end of the last
1ull week in September.
There is another brood of the Hes
sian fly next summer, but the proper
date of sowing is for the control of
the full brood, and at this time of the
year no better means of its control
is known than late seeding"
