When will you be herei c All right goodby!"
 Mrs. Royalton and Rosamund still sat as if entranced. but Carolyn Dallys rose impatiently now, and glanced about, as if in search of an excuse. The room was tensely charged with cleo tricity It was evident that in another minute the explosion must come. But first, how to get rid of this important, busy little Miss Fisher?
 Flodie herself answered the un- voiced question. Wasn't she as desir- ous as any of them to bring the thing to head? Yes; so she must fly and leave the field of battle clear. Still smiling, she disappeared into the stockroom. She left the door ajar.
 Mrs. Royalton rose, with a self-con- scious smile. Well, Carolyn" she said, "I suppose I'll have to tell you, now. It is most unfortunate that Miss Fisher wasn't more discreet In her conversa- tion. But so long as she has let the cat out of the bag. l might as well in form you that the ring she was talk ing to Hall about is for this finger! She held up her left hand, her thumb pointing to her third finger
 Carolyn, with whoop, fell into Rosamund's arms, and the two laughed until they cried.
 Mrs. Royalton stared as if they had suddenly gone mad. Then she ex- claimed angrily, 'I'd like to know what there is to laugh at! l don't see any thing particularly amusing in the fact that I'm going to marry Hall Boni- stelle!"
 "Oh, don't you?" Carolyn gurgled Miss Gale, do you sec anything funny in it?"
 Funny, It's a scream" Rosamund shouted with mirth. Who'll be the next one?"
 "Oh, the more the merrier!" cried Carolyn.
 Rena Royalton drew herself up proudly 'I think you're exceedingly impertinent," she replied. Carolyn dried her eyes on a lace handkerchief. "Rena," she said, still giggling, q don't know whether it's too true to be funny, or too funny to be true But you ought to be in on this joke, really, my dear It will inter- est you strangely"
 Well, I don't call it a joke. It's an outrage," cried Rosamund.
 Say. Miss Gale" Carolyn turned contidentially, "d'you know, we ought really to form a society of the sur vivors, you know. Rena's the oldest and we'll elect her president"
 Mrs. Royalton stared from one to the other. her temper rising. Finally she remarked cuttingly. 'I must say

The slops consist principally of skim milk, and right here we want to say there is nothing that compares with skim milk as an accompaniment to corn for the grow ing pigs.

SPREADING OF HOG CHOLERA
important That Owners of Healthy Animals Keep Away From Farms
 Where Disease Exists.

Doctor Koen, the United States gov ernment inspector in charge of the hog cholera in Dallas county, Iowa, re- ports that 29.6 per cent of all cases of hog cholera were caused by the germs being carried from one farm to an- other by farmers exchanging wosk or visiting each other. It is important, therefore, that owners of healthy hogs keep strictly away from farms where the disease exists and should keep ether people away from his own hog lots and pastures.
 By using disinfectant freely on horses and wagons which have been m the neighborhood of the disease and by requiring everyone who comes on the farm or goes near the hog lot to disinfect his feet the spread of the disease can be very greatly reduced.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Great Danger in Allowing Hoofs of Young Animal to Grow Too Long
 Avoid Trouble Later.

It has often been said that horses feet are the most important parts of it's body; and anybody whc has had experience with lameness and inability of horses to do reasonable amount of work because of lameness of one kind of another, will readily acknowledge the importance of prop erly caring for the feet of the equine stock on the farm.
 Proper care of the horses feet means that attention must be given when he is colt. In fact. if the horseman or farmer carelessly allows the colts hoofs to grow long and un- even, there is a great deal more dan- ger of injuring the feet or deforming them than if the same carelessness is practiced with mature animals. The bones, fragments and tendons of the colts feet are not so hard nor so strong as those of the mature horse. and the result is that improper stand ing, induced by poorly shaped hoofs. throws the bones and fragments out of their natural positions. Again, 1t may De CdSe Ol WH6IS tHe cOit . iC5o are crooked at birth, and in such in- stances care and attention to trim ming the hoofs may be of consider able help in strengthening the legs.
 In handling the colts feet it is best to begin with the front ones. Teach the colt to rest his weight on the op posite foot, rather than the one which is being held, by showing it enough to throw the balance over on the op- posite foot at the same time the other foot is picked up. The proper learn ing of this lesson will often save con- siderable trouble later when the colt must be shod.
 After the colts feet have been picked up in this manner few times it's hoofs can be trimmed with but very little trouble. Give this matter attention and often the colt will come out with good set of legs, when it otherwise would be greatly hampered at work or on the market by crooked and weak "under-pinning.
