WINTERS CROP.

In these chilly days one - like
Iy to think little Of the discom-
forts Of next summers drought.
All out Of doors is a cooler that
checks interest in field work. but
there IL one crop that must be
harvested now or never. 1t Is
the only crop that removes alb
solutely nothing from the soil
and can be had in most cases
free for the harvesting. 1t grows
nearly everywhere In unlimited
quantities. The satisfaction de.
rived from u store Of 1t Is almost
Unreasonable. for 1t adds to the
health and pleasure Of the en-
tire family. Harvesting Is 50
ridiculously simple that we may
well wonder why stores Of the
crop are not to be found on
every farm. Millions Of dollars
are spent to produce it In the
cities; farmers can have all they
need for a few days work at
odd times In winter.
The nearest approach to some
thing for nothing in farming is
the ice crop.-Country Gentle

FARM PASTURE GRASSES.
Sufficient P~asturage Necessary to Raise
Live Stock Successfully.

Sufficient Pasturage Necessary to RAISE
Live Stock Successfully.
There is plenty Of land in the United
States under grass. The trouble about
1t is that this land is not producing
what it should in the way Of forage.
writes A. X. Bronson in the Farm
Progress. Too many pastures have Il
poor stand of grass. others are seeded
to the wrong grasses. and still others
have been left to seed themselves
from anything that invaded them aft
er the first stand had died out.
1t is impossible to, grow live stOc!
with any degree of success unless
there is enough pasturage available.
Prices Of live stock. high as they are.
are not high enough to make it posi-
BILE to produce meat or milk with
profit where dry feeding or stable feed
ing is the sole reliance. Dairying can
be made to pay in special instances
where the market is assured and trans
%pOrtation Is not q problem ven though
all the feedstuffs are bought. But one
Of the strongest reasons for taking up
dairying is absent on that farm where
pasturage is at a premium.
In beef production. where the ami
mails are bred and grown by the feed
er. there must be pasturage If the
business is to show the proper re
turns. The anisher of beef cattle can
take the yearlings or two-year-olds and
by stufing them with fat forming
feeds for a few months make money
on them. But somewhere in the life
history of any beef animal showing a
profit there must be a period of pastur.
ing and roughage.
This makes the growing Of grass
crops all important in any proper
scheme of farming. The man who
gets the most from his pasture lands
will be forced to adopt some sort OF
a plan whereby he can get as much
green feed as possible from early in
the spring until late in the fall. This
In most localities means the adoption
Of a mixed grass setting. something
that will have different grass varieties
ripening all summer long and Others
coming ON to take their places.
Some sort of legume should be
made a part Of the pasture. especially
in old regions that have been settled
for a long time. In new countries
where the soil is strong this need will
not be felt so keenly, but where the
and has been cropped for many years
before being put in pasture, the GLOW
ers will help to keep the right proper
ton OF nitrogen in the soil. Whatever
the legume may be it will help fatten
the land and feed the other grasses
1T will prevent, too, the condition often
spoken Of rs "sOd bound"
AS much of the pasture acreage is
sown in the spring OF in the very late
winter before the ground quits freez'
ing. this is Il splendid season to con
slider just what the new pasture should
be made up of. In nearly all the states
some agricultural authority connected
with the state experiment station has
made a special study of grasses with
a view to finding out just what is best
for certain areas In the state. 1t is q
good plan to get the advice of a man
who knows before seeding,

A BALKAN
EPISODE
By u 3.

The Balkan states are half 4 dozen
little kingdoms that have been lighting
one another from time immem0rial.
and all Of them have been fighting the
Turk. II the many occurrences in the
Balkans Of a romantic nature could be
gathered together there would be
enough Of them to supply story tellers
for hundreds of years. The following
Is a sample:
Not far from Adrianople there lived
a country girl named Tarissa. She
was a Christian inhabiting a region
ruled by the Turks. Tarissa's home
was just south Of the border line be-
tween Turkey and Roumelia. One day
il party of Roumelians headed by a
young man. Boris Lovatz. came down
|. the valley of the Martha river in pur'
| suit of a band Of Turks who had car
ried off some Roumelian m Be.
fore his return be had met Tarissa and
| there had resulted a love affair. LO'
vatz was successful in rescuing the
women he had come for and went back
into Roumelia.
Had it not been for having met Ia
risSa be, might never have come into
Turkey again and been safe from the
revenge due him for the rescue. But
there is no risk a man will not take
| for love. and it was not long before be
was again across the border on a visit
to his sweetheart. Indeed be came sc
often that it got Out among the Turks
that this eneiny had been captivateG
by u girl and was making periodical
visits to her. So Il watch was set FOL
him.
for this service went to a Turkish Off
Ger who was on duty in the neighbor
hood and told him that Boris was witt
Tarissa. The officer directed sever
of his men to mount their horses, and
placing himself at their head. he rod'
toward the hamlet where Tarissa lv
ed. Dusk was falling. and the Turk
before reaching the hamlet, directed
his men to remain where they wer'
and rode forward alone to reconnOiter

as an eel and IL he was aware that
force was coming to take him be woul'

When near Tarissa's home the Officer
approached cautiously. and since It wal
dark he reached q window without be
ing seen. In the into which ht
looked we're Boris and Tarissa. Boris
was trying to induce the girl to &
back with him and become his wife

toward the chair, and. anticipating BIS
intention to die defending himself, she
threw herself between him and his
weapon.
This placed her between the omcer
and her lover. Since the former could
not shoot without killing her he sprang
in through the window and, covering
Boris, called on him to surrender.
There was nothing else for the captive
to do since be had nothing with which
to make a defense except to induce his
capt0r to shoot him.
The next move Of the Turk was to
get his prisoner to bis men or his
men to his prisoner. The latter was
not an easy thing to do. for the men
were beyond call. and he had no one
to send for them. Keeping his pistol
pointed toward Boris, he glanced out
through the window to see If any one
was near, for he was in q Christian
hamlet, and if he attempted to drive
his captive to his men he might get
a bullet from some n of the little
clump of houses.
During these few moments in which
he was obliged to keep 50 many things
in his mind there were two very i'm
portant matters that he failed to grasp.
One was Tarissa and the other Boris

though he may not have seen the lat
ter. The Turks glance through the
window enabled Tarissa to take a step
backward SO that by placing her hand
behind her she might reach the weapon.
Not seeing any one without to send
for his men. he ordered Boris to pre-
cede him through the doorway and
out Of the house. Boris Obeyed. and
as the men passed out, the Turk keep
ing his eyes fixed on his prisoner. Ia
rissa possessed herself Of Boris pistol.
She o had every advantage. for
she was behind the Turk. Only the
knowledge that her lover would die a
frightful death enabled her to kill a
man in cold blood. Stealing up close
to the Turk. she shot him through the
head.
Boris turned. saw the Turk fall and
Tarissa with a smoking pistol in her
hand.
"Go," she said. There must be 9TH
ers near"
Without a word he sprang on to the
horse on which he. had come. and as
be passed out Of sight the Turkish
soldiers were heard coming.
Boris escaped. Tarissa hid in the
darkness for a time. then set out to
Join him.
Neither of them ever entered Turkey
again. for they knew that Boris would
be killed and rarissa wOuld meet q
worse fate. In their home in Ron
mella they were safe.

Some time ago one of the local
banks caught during the day a coun-

clever counterfeit II would pass any
body but an expert. The next day ten
or fifteen more Of the bad bills were
found In the city.
Then the governments machinery to
protect Its currency began to work
But there was nothing mysterious
about its working. In the office Of the
secret service here an official sat all
afternoon smoking and looking at spec
linens Of counterfeit currency. Huge
clouds Of smoke rose from his pipe.
That kept up all day. The reader of
detective tales who believes the secret
service works In a mysterious way
would have been distinctly disappoint-

No. James of the two aliases had
been out six months. Then kilograms
went out to certain officers In certain
cities. How they located James Ward
the government keeps as a secret.
Later the counterfeiter was arrested at
Springfield. ILL.,. and his outfit for rails
ing bills was found with him.
And so another counterfeiter was
caught and put out of business. How
was 1t done? Simple enough-if you
belong to the secret service Every
counterfeiter has some distinguishing
characteristic in his work. some little
curve or break in line that gives him
away. The secret service agent com
pared the new counterfeit with dozens
OF old counterfeits. At last he found
the telltale distinguishing characters
tic. And the rest was easy.
James of the two aliases and a
counterfeiting device had served three
terms before. So there was plenty of
his samples.-Kansas City Times.
