7 SABEL HAMILTON did not analyze
the impulse that had led her to
return TO her maid the telephone
number Of the person who had called
up. The wife did not even inquire
if the unknown was a man or a
woman. Something. possibly a subtle
sense Of honor, prevented her asking
a single question. She could not in
quire Of a domestic about things that
concerned her husband. Even Jealousy
and suspicion could not make her do
that. she told herself
Yet was she Jealous or suspicious
Was it not entirely natural that some
business acquaintance should call John
up at his home? Such things had
happened before. But somehow she
shrank from handing the telephone
number to John She would rather
have Cynthia do this. or course John
would mention the matter to his wife,
and perhaps she wanted to feel that
he would do this without any actual
necessity for his doing So II she gave

upconsciOusly to herself putting him

soon She heard the front door open
and johns voice calling her name
When she answered he came TO her
room and kissed her affectioHately-
Cynthia, busy in the kitchen, would
doubtless mention the telephone mat
ter TO him later. Isabel wished she
would do so soon and get II over with
She was ridiculOusly nervous about IL
After a moments chat John went out
into the hall, leaving the door OF her
room open behind him Thus it came
about that she overheard the maid
speak to him as she emerged from the
dining room on her way to tell her mis-
tress that dinner was ready
Good evenin', sir" Cynthia said in
reply to her employers perfunctory

So it was woman after all The
wife felt her heart sink. then she
pulled herself together angrily. How
dare she suspect such a good husband
as hers2 The person who teleghOned
was probably the secretary or stenOg-
rapher Of some one OF Johns business
acquaintances. Surely that was 1t. Yet
she still stood motiOnless in the center
OF her room until Cynthia came out
OF the Kitchen again. bearing the
paper with her.
JOHN Especially Merry.
Here's IL, sir" Isabel heard her say.
Thank you" John murmured.

Cynthia was in the doorway and
Isabel started violently.

Switching OF her light, she went
into the hall. John stood there under

she has one. But that is no reason why
she should not leave her home long
enough to cast her vote, as her hus-
band leaves his office TO cast his vote.
II is in the home that she will study
and fit herself to properly use the
vote.
Let me summarize. our reasons why
woman should vote:
First-It>is her inalienable right as
a human being.
Seeond-In doing her the injustice
OF refusing this right. we are doing
ourselves a greater injury.
Thirds a valuable factor In our
politics. she will be a purifying and
enrolling influence.
Fourth-The inestimable good that
win come TO her in thus educating and
broadening her character. will not only
rebound 10 her and our good. but viii
bring untold blessings 70 unborn gen
erations.
Fifth-Because it is right to abolish
Injustice.

some cows show that they do not pro-
duce enough butterfat to pay for their
keep. while one GOV at the ranch Of
F. Sarman has given several tests Of
9.9, a most remarkable event and one
that has astonished Prof. Scott and
other experts. A strict watch is to
be kept on this COW and it is believed
by some that she is t be the most
talked Of COW in this section.
Within a short time a test is to be
made at the L. NJ. Jacobsen ranch
where a strict record will be kept OF
the daily rations consumed by each
cow together with the butter-fat out
put. This work will be placed In the
hands of a special man from the Uni
yersity OF Nevada.
Already several of the dairymen
who are milking forty cows intend to
cut this number down to 80 by getting
rid Of the "robber cows.
Another advanced step In dairying
is the introduction IF an improved
milking machine, one of which has
been installed at the L. NJ. Jacobsen
ranch and is doing excellent work.
A similar machine will be installed by
VIM. Gray about the first of the month.

MAKING MOST OF THE IRIS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON

Iris of all plants is most Indifferent
to it's surroundings, soil and environ
ment. With satisfactory attention 1t
gives wonderful results.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the Bulb should be COW
cred very lightly unless planting late
in the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about two
inches below the soil level At other
times just barely cover them.
When hoeing in the summer it is
well not to draw much soil to them, as
it is liable to rot them at certain times
when they are more subject to this
decay than others, when covered deep
ly with soil; and doubly so after they
become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free of weeds and hoed
very lightly or raked just so the crust
Is broken or kept loose.
About November 1, before freezing
begins, give them a good hoeing and q
light dressing of manure after the hoe
ing. Plant or divide at any time.
A few very good sorts are floren-
tina, early white innocenza, late
white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida
delmatica, rich lavender; fairy, pearly
white; fiavescens, rich canary; hon
orabilis, rich falls, yellow chocolate
brown; gypsy queen, smoky bronze.
falls deep chocolate; sapphc, deep vel
'aty purple; all very free.

TURN YOUNG LAMBS
INTO CORN FIELDS
This Should Be Done While
Weeds Are Young and Ten
der-They Do No Damage.
(By R. G.. WEATHERSTONE !

Wy 1Ss IT. w j
1t is good practice to turn the
lambs into the cornfeld as soon as
the corn is matured enough so it
cannot be hurt by them. They should
OF course be turned in while the weeds
are yet young and tender. They will
then crop them down and in doing so
will render the most munifcent serv-
Ice to the field. They will also crop
Off the lower leaves Of the corn and in
this way will obtain much food
without probably doing any harm to
the corn. The shade furnished by the
corn when the weather is unusually
hot will be good for the lambs.
When lambs newly weaned are
turned into such fields 1t may be neces-
sary to supplement the food given to
them. 1t probably will be necessary
The weeds grow much in the shade,
and consequently will be more insipid
than if they grow in bright sunshine.
Even when newly weaned lambs are
turned in to Craze on good pasture,
they should as a rule be given a sup
plement Of grain. When they pasture
amid corn, if thus fed, the lambs will
not only be directly benefited but the
fertility added to the land, or some of
it, will be proportionately helpful.

The orchard in question was in sod
Of permanent orchard grass when it
came into my possession four years
ago, having been seeded two or three
years before. Three of the four years
since ! bought it this section has suf
fered severe droughts In the summer.
There was quite a lot of deadwood
In the orchard and this was cut out
the first year. The scars healed over
with the bark in many instances, in
dicating vigorous condition of the
trees.
The rext year a more drastic prun-
Ing was given and the succeeding year
good crop of fruit was borne.
The soil of an adjoining field re-
ceived thorough cultivation and this
extended under the outer row of apple
trees The third year the trees
through the center of the orchard be-
gan to die back to an alarming degree
and the foliage turned a sickly yellow
ish green.
Examination revealed no scale in
sects, but feared some invisible pest
was at work in my orchard and my
trees must go. However, early last
spring I turned under the sod in the
entire orchard and have cultivated
the soil all the season. The trees are
toning up, but it is going to take more
than a couple of years to get back to
normal ccndition-if not longer.

Machine sIays by Wireless.

An electrical machine invented by
a st. Paul man may be used by Ger
many in killing enemies with wireless,
according to st. Paul dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record The machine
was first developed to kill rabbits in
North Dakota. Charles F. Billows,
aided by electricians, perfected the
machine, which flashed rabbits and
dogs to death at a distance Of LOT
feet. Electricity for experiments was
obtained from Thomas street trolley
wire.
When the present war broke out the
inventor realized it's possibilities. Eng.
lish and French officers were sounded
as to it's availability, but they refused.
The machine then was turned over to
Germany, where it was accepted for
experimentation.
81 believe it was used in the present
Russian campaign" said Billows. "The
possibilities of the machine are I'M
limited. With a large voltage there is
no reason why human beings could
not be flashed to death at long dis
tances. | believe Russian powder sta
tons were set off by our machine"

The trees on the outer edge which
received cultivation last year have
suffered no dying back, but have grown
long, vigorous branches which last
year bent to the ground beneath a
load Of fruit, and the foliage is a fine
dark green.
If had turned the sod under the
first year l have no doubt that my
crop of apples would have been
abundant, Judging from the cultivated
trees, yet the soil has had no fertilizer
aside from the turned under sod.
| believe that two years is long
enough for any orchard to be kept in
sod. Of course a clover sod would
have given better results.
Judging from the appearance Of
many orchards over this section Of
the country I believe some growers
are putting too much faith in sod;
that is, they are leaving the sod upon
the orchards too long and wherever
this is being done the trees look
about as mine did.
/ have a row of Baldwin apple
trees along a lane A wide strip Of
fine sod has grown under them on
the roadside for many years, but the
field they border is under continual
cultivation.
The trees are healthy and vigorous
and bear fruit well, so 1t seems that
partial cultivation does much to keep
the trees in good condition.
