The audience that crowded the hall

Panken, idol of the lower East Side
of New York, in which he told them
that the efficiency system of the
manufacturers had split a tailor into
more than fifty parts and he would
have to be put together again before
he would be man.
"The employers have not only split
you into fifty parts" Hillman said,

German Fortresses.

OF the more important German for
tresses Mainz is regarded as the most
strategic point in the west of Europe.
Situated on the eastern front of the
Rhine, which it dominates, it COM
mands also the natural way to the
Danube and the routes leading to the
Elbe Valley, to Cassel and to the Black
Forest. Next comes Koenigsberg, on
the Baltic, guarded on it's eastern side
by the Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by eleven
forts, and in peace time is a center Of
the German army. It's sister fortress,
Strassburg, designed by Moltke, was
considered by him to be impregnable.
1t is protected by fifteen forts, con-
nected by citadel railways, and from it
armies can maneuver east or west of
the Rhine without Intervention.

he had waggishly brushed his beard
against Aunt Nancy Smiths cheek,
and then he had taken his place be-

He turned in his seat to wave to
the group on the porch, his eyes rest
ing in q sudden hunger upon Ange-
lines frail, slender figure, as he re-
membered. She knew that he had
forgotten in the furry of his leave

down the steps to stop the carriage;
but all the old ladies we're there to

after the vehicle as 1t rolled away
slowly behind the jog trot Of Samuers

looked, holding her chin very high,
and trying to check its unsteadiness.
A sense of loneliness and desolation
fell over the Home. Piece by piece
the sisters put away all the clothing
they had offered in vain to Abe. They
said that the house was already dull
without his presence. Miss Abigail
began to plan what she should have
for dinner the day OF his return.
No one seemed to notice Angy. She
felt that her own departure would
create scarcely a stir; for, without
Abraham, she was only one of group
of poor old women in a semi-charity
home.
Slowly she started up the stairs for
her bonnet and the old broche shawl
When she reached the landing, where
lay the knitted mat Of the three-star

"Angy Rose, jest thought Of It

Angy turned, her small, slender feet
sinking deep into one Of the woolly

light from the upper hall window. She
saw dozen faces uplifted to her, and
she answered with quiet dignity:

ANY SOIL GOOD FOR BETS
However, Rich Sandy Loan viii Give
Best Results-Plant In Drills,
IL to 10 Inches Apart.

The red garden beet may be grown
in any good soil, but rich sandy loan
will give the best results. Sow the
seeds in the spring as soon as danger
of frost has passed. Beets should be
planted in drills twelve to eighteen
inches apart, and when the plants are
well up they should be thinned to four
or five inches in the row. If desirable
to plant the rows three feet apart for
horse cultivation, the seeds may be
sown in double drill with six inches
between, leaving 80 inches for culti-
walton. Two ounces Of beet seed are
required to plant one hundred feet Of
row, or five pounds to the acre. AS a
rule, each seed ball contains more
than one seed, and this accounts for
beets coming up very thickly. The
seed should be covered to depth of
about one inch. For succession OF
young beets during the summer,
paintings should be made every four
or five weeks during the spring
months. Beets intended for winter
storage should not be sown until late
in the summer, the crop being har
vested and stored in the same manner
as turnips. Sugar beets are often sub
stituted for the ordinary garden beet
especially for winter use.
Beets are used for pickles, or boiled
sliced or fried in butter, adding lit
tie vinegar just before removing from
the fire. The young plants are USED
for greens.

Is capable Of giving better returns
than the sheep. Many farmers have
found lamb feeding a profitable busi-
ness. Feeding range lambs seems es-

labor is available during the win

stock feeding is the resulting manure.
On such farms band of range lambs

utilize the farm roughage, and leave
a large supply of manure, besides pay
ing profit for their food and attend
ance.
Good lambs, bought early in the fall,
and started to pasture and fall for
age, may gain from eight to twelve
pounds per head at very low cost.
Such lambs are in much better condi-
ton to put on full rations of grain, and
will make better gains than those pur-
chased later and put on full feed at
once.
The lambs should go into the feed
lot before the weather is cold and
changeable. What they will CLEAN
from the fields after the first stormy
weather will hardly Offset the losses
from exposure and dampness. Good
warm sheds that open toward the
south are best.
During the full feeding period they
will thrive better If kept in punches Of
forty or fifty. In order to do this, the
shed may be subdivided. Yards and
sleeping quarters must be dry and
clean. Foul air and dampness are two
things that sheep cannot stand. The
feed troughs for grain should be fast
ened securely to the racks to prevent
waste. Succulent feed adds to the ef-
ficiency Of the ration. Roots and corn
silage are the best for conditioning
lambs at this time of the year.

CALVES INTENDED FOR BEEF
Necessary to Give Young Animals
Grain While on MIX Diet-Flrst
Winter of Importance.

When you are feeding calves In
tended for beef animals you have two
methods which may be followed. You
can let the calf run with the COW or
you can remove the calf and feed him
skim milk and grains instead of giving
him the whole milk, writes l.. Hunt of
Kansas in Farm Progress. In these
days of dairying the calf that is not
Vealed is likely to become a skim milk
calf. Tho youngster that runs with his
mother usually ends his first summer
in excellent flesh, while the skim milk
calf is not plump, but usually has a
larger frame.
If you are going to make beef out of
either of these calves it is necessary to
give them grain while on a milk diet,
if it is plain that they need this extra
ration. In handling the skim milk calf
give him a little oil meal while the
change from the whole to the skim
milk is under way and keep it up as he
grows older and bigger. Keep him on
the pasture and at the same time keep
up the feed of skim milk and oil meal

sgice daily, and along with this there
ought to be some cracked corn, bran
and ground oats.
There is not much use in feeding the
calf that is running with the cow. II
on the pasture he is getting about all
that he needs. AS a general thing it
will pay, though, to teach him to eat,l
for he will have to go through the
weaving period. If fed cracked grains
and kept on a good pasture the calf
will learn to eat before weaving time
and will not lose much flesh when sep
arated from the COW.
The first winter is an important
period to the calf that is being grown
as beef animal. The calf will have
to be given shelter that is more COM
Portable than the open sheds that are
being provided nowadays for the big
steers. The rations ought to be such
as to keep up a rapid growth if these
calves are to be made into baby beef"
Steers sold somewhere under eighteen
months of age are rated as baby
beef"
