and her family would have been sur

part of her thoughts was occupied by
the unknown sender of her valentine.
In these girlish dreams to which all
maldens are prone handsome young
gentleman now figured. He had dark,
soulful eyes, a graceful, manly form
and patrician features. His name was
Arthur Eustace Henderson.
The Hutchinson company did little
night work; the girls were seldom re-
quired to work overtime Occasion
ally few girls were asked to remain
and help rush through an accumula-
ton of business matters. On one of
these occasions some of the workers
of Mr.. Miller's division were asked to
stay, and Pamela was among them. It
was few minutes past nine when
she passed through the storm doors to
join her brother, who she knew was
outside waiting for her. There was
no real reason for Don to come down
to walk home with her when she
worked late, for several of the girls
went her way, and Billiken, the office
boy, always went in that direction.
"Billiken," she said pleasantly, as
the boy would have fallen to the rear
at sight of her handsome escort, this
is my brother Don, who knows you
quite well already, for have often
told him how kind you are to me-"
Young man. said Don, with cor
dial grip of his hand, II am glad to

lection and the number of bleedings
that are obtained before rehyperimmu-
nization. Other conditions being equal,
the more virulent the virus, the more
potent will be the serum. Nothing but
the strongest virus possible should
ever be used. Strains of virus that
will produce fever and fatal sickness
in seven to eight days are much pre-
ferable to those that require an incu-
baton of eight to ten days. The usual
amount of virus injected at one time,
when injected into the veins of the
immune, is six cubic centimeters for
each pound of body weight If less
than this is used, the serum will be
apt to be low in potency. The first
and second bleedings are of stronger
potency than the third bleeding. In
practice, equal parts of first, second
and third should be mixed for the
proper production of serum. Not more
than six cubic centimeters of blood
at any one time should be bled from
| the hyperimmune for each pound OF
body weight. The method of bleeding
whether from the tail until clipped too
short for further use and neck at the
final bleeding or from but one bleeding
at the neck as practiced by some serum
companies, will not produce any differ
ence in the potency or in the amount
of foreign bacteria, provided that
proper methods of sterilization are en-
ployed.
No virus should be used that is bled
from hogs that show LESSONS of other
diseases other than acute cholera
Each virus hog should be carefully ex-
amined after bleeding. The amount of
bacteria, and especially the number of
pathogenic bacteria, is due to the meth
DDS of sterilization used. Each hog
should be carefully cleaned and disin-
fected, the tail or neck shaved and
sterilized before bleeding, and all bot
ties or jars should be sterilized All
of the preparation and bottling should
be done in clean quarters free from
any dust, and no vessels used that are
not sterile.
The potency test may be misleading
through the use of pigs that are from
immune mothers. These pigs may re-
tain enough immunity that they will
remain we'll even though the serum is
low In potency. That is one of the
reasons why check pigs are used, to
show the natural immunity Of the pigs
The pigs should also be of the sans
herd or litter and treated alike.
Under the provisions of the new hog
cholera control law in Indiana, Purdue
university is charged with the testing
of all hog cholera serums and so-called
cures that are sold in the state. All
Of the different serums exposed for
sale in the state and great many of
the cures have been tested. The great
er majority of the serums have been
found to be potent, but no cure has

preventing hog cholera. All serums

mended to the state veterinarian. who
issues a state permit, under which
each serum is sold. At any time this
permit can be revoked through the
serum not being up to the standard.

First Painted Valentine.

seated in a bower, with a church in

persons forwarding the same. The
designers of these amatory billets
seem to nave entertained rather singu-

whose feelings they sought to be-

ers, yellow waistcoat blue surtout,
and green or crimson cravat The eff
feet thus obtained was, as might be
imagined, somewhat striking; but our
fathers and mothers were apparently
satisfied with these quaint produc-
tons. The introduction of the cheap
postage of today laid the foundation
of the present trade in valentines,
the manufacture of which now consti-
tutes an important branch of indus
trial activity, furnishing, directly or
indirectly, employment to several
thousand persons of both sexes.
Cheap postage is also responsible
for the introduction of the comic val
entine, that hideous bit of vulgarity
sold for cent in the United States
and in Great Britain for a penny or
a half-penny, which still remains one
Of the tribulations of the day. But
side by side with this monstrosity

ST. VALENTINE IN YEAR 1754
Love Plants of Youths and Maidena
Certainly No Sillier Now Than
Then.

Some folks find everything worse
than what is old. Among other things,
the behavior of youth is condemned az
more thoughtless and inconseQuential
than ever before. The young girl Is
called Internationally silly in regard
to men. But just read this confession
of young girl in 1854: g
Last Friday was St Valentines
day, and the night before l got five
bay leaves, and pinned four on thu
corners of my pillow and the fifth to
the middle, and then If dreamt of
my sweetheart, Betty said we should
be married before the year was out
But to make it more sure, / boiled an
egg hard, and took out the yolk and
filled it with salt; and when l went
to bed ate it, shell and all, without
speaking or drinking after it. We also
wrote our lovers names upor bits OF
paper, and rolled them up in clay, and
put them into water; and the first that
rose was to be our valentine. Would
you think it? Mr.. Blossom was my
man. l lay abed, and shut my eyes
all the morning till he came to our
house, for would not have seen an.
other man before him for all the
world"
Probably the popular song of today
is the most inane form that the alpha
bet has ever taken. And yet In the
eighteenth century "Thc Cabinet OF
Love; or Cupid's Repository" used to
contain this sort of thing:
The beauties of her polished mind,
1t needs no lover's eye to find
The hermit freezing in his cell,
Might wish the gentle Flava well.
Certainly the gentle F'lavia deserved
the book" And just listen:
You are the girl l delight In
Much more than haddock, smelta OF
whiting.
This may not be quite so bad as the
contemporary popular song, but it isn't
worlds away. Possibly, after all, our
predecessors didn't have so much on
us in the line of perfection.--C Golfers

CLOVER is
GOOD COVER CROP
Well Adapted to Low, Moist Soil
is WeIl-KnoWn as Fa-
vorite Food for Bees.

Alsike clover, unlike our red clover,
is well adapted to low, moist soils,
also to dried up land. 1t should not
be sown alone. Six pounds of alsike
seed and ten pounds of red clover seed
sown to the acre will give large crop
of excellent hay, and a larger yield
than If either were so@n alone
Red clover will seldom produce a
crop of hay the third year, while
alsike will yield good crops from three
to five years if the land is in good
condition and the season not too dry.
Alsike clover is we'll known as the
favorite food for bees. The honey
made from alsike blossoms is said to
be of excellent quality. But its great
est value is for pasture. When once
firmly rooted 1t will make sturdy
growth even if the season Is hot and
the ground dry.
Hay farmers who have grown this
clover for some years consider il
valuable to mix with meadow grasses
such as foul meadow and red top
Yields of 3A to 4 tons of hay have
been grown to the acre, and excellent
foil pasture may be had until late in
the season.
The second crop is said to cause
horses to slobber freely, and on this
account 1t is best not to SOW alsike
in horse pastures. The seed may bt
had from the agricultural stores. Il

serum cooled and bottled. 1t is then
placed in a refrigerator to wait for the
testing. This is done by trying the
serum with pigs and also in the best
plants by a meteorological examina-
ton. The potency Of the serum Is
tested by taking some pigs weighing
so to 10 pounds that are not immune
to cholera, injecting some Of them
with hog cholera blood alone and the
others with varying amounts of the
serum along with the hog cholera
blood. The pigs that receive no serum
are termed check pigs and should die
from cholera within from five to four
teen days. The pigs receiving serum
should remain healthy. II the bacteri-
illogical examination shows no bacteria
that are liable to produce blood poison

FROM PAGAN TIMES
Celebration of st. Valentines Day
Is One of the Oldest of
Cur Customs.

St Valentines day is the outgrowth
of pagan custom. The feast of Lu-
percalia, which was held on February
Is in honor of the great god Pan, was
undoubtedly it's origin. At this feast
the names o. the virgin daughters of
Rome were put in a box and drawn
therefrom by the young men and
each youth was bound to offer a gift
to the maiden who fell to his lot and
to make her his partner during the
time of the feast.
This custom became allied with the
name of st. Valentine, probably only
through coincidence in dates. St. VAL
entine was bishop of Rome during
the third century. He was martyred
on February IA, A. ID. 270. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen-
dar his name was given to the day
of his death, and this was made a
festival
In the days of quill pens and dear
postage the transmission of valentines
through the post was an expensive
luxury. The amorous SWANS of that
period had to content themselves and
their idolized fair ones with thick
sheets of gilt-edged letter paper, the
first page of each being adorned with
a gift Cupid, carefully gummed

following screed adorned with cir

Elizabeth sat nibbling her pen han

around among the girls. 1t was at
this psychological moment that one of
the errand boys came around the table
and placed in front of Pamela small,
square box neatly wrapped in white
paper and tied with gilt cord. Eliz.
abeths eyes widened with excite

"A valentine! Oh. kiddo," she said
enthusiastically, "some one has sent

lively.

as she read the neatly typewriter
