GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
carious-Much of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry success is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain fiocks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
is damp and cold the greater part of
the year.
The success of many poultryman
is not always so much due to his feed
and care as the warm, dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look well to the ground
you buy. If it is not ideal poultry
ground IN soil, drainage and location
you can scarcely make 1t that except
at cost that eats up the profits fast

SILO is QUITE ECONOMICAL
Preserves PaIatablIlty and SuccuIence
of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build a silo. Here they are:
The silo preserves the palatability
and succulence of the green corn
plant.
The silo increases the live stock ca
pacity of the farm.
Silage IS a good summer feed when
pastures are short.
Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo 1t
is an economical means of storing
forage.
The silo located near the feed man.
ger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand IN stormy as well as
fair weather.
The silo assists in reducing the cost
of grains in fattening cattle and sheep.
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost of production.
There are no stalks to bother In
the manure when corn is put into silo
All should understand that silage
is not a complete or balanced ration
1t is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

Seeds with high vitality possess

Seeds with low vitality" sprout slow
Iy and produce weak and spindling
plants. The chief influences affecting
seed vitality are as follows:
l. Age-vitality OF seeds decrease

2 Maturity-Although seeds win

plants produced are weaker than
those from fully matured seeds.
8 Size-Large and heavy seeds
have a greater terminating power and
produce plants with more vigor than
small seeds
4. Percentage-Seed should come
from plants whose pedigree Is known
to be good. Strains that are run OUT
produce seeds OF weak vitality

in 533. Ten thousand workmeD were
employed until it's completion, and
the wealth of the whole empire was
put to the severest test to furnish the
steady golden stream which flowed
and flowed for the carrying out Of the
ideas. Schools were stopped, it is
said. that the salaries of the teachers
might be diverted to Santa Sophia's
benefit, and the lead pipes of Constan
tinople were melted down in order to
make sheeting for its roofs.
Great Work Done Speedily.
Europe, Asia and Africa contributed
of their resources and Of their historic
marble columns and panels that the
great cathedral might be unsurpassed
among the glories of earth. Some say
that the great work was finished IN
the marvelously short time of ten
years, others are positive, even, that
it was ready in six years. However
this may be- it required 100 years TO
build ST. Peters at Rome; 35 years 20
build st. Paurs in London; 500 years
to build the Milan cathedral, and 615
years to build the Cathedral OF
Cologne. There are millions of the
Greek Orthodox faith who are looking
confidently forward to the day when
Santa Sophia will again be the princi-
pal cathedral of their worship.
A bewildering wealth of legends
clusters around the old cathedral, now
defaced and mutilated as a Turkish
mosque, and these legends throw
veil of the supernatural around 1t.
One legend, which the Greeks like to
remember, is that of the bishop who
was celebrating mass as the wild Turk
ish hordes under Mohammet H., con-
queror of Constantinople, broke into
the church, and who escaped their
fanatic wrath by walking into niche
made by the opening wall which again
closed behind him. This priest Is
waiting in the wall for the day when
Santa Sophia once more comes under
Christian power, when he will leave
his place of refuge and continue, in
celebration of the end of Turkish rule,
| the service in which he was interrupt
ed 500 years before.

hope that the mosque of
Santa Sophia, the ecclesiastical gem
of the Turkish capital, will be spared
1t is to the Greek church what the
site of the Temple at Jerusalem is to
the Jew and, except for its possession
by strange religion, what st. Peters
is TO the Catholic. The repossession
of Santa Sophia represents the goal OF
Russia's ambitions during several cen
turtles. Concerning this great church
edifice a writer for the National Geo
graphic society says
Christianity has been productive of
many wonderful places of worship, of
temples richer in treasure and more
beautiful in workmanship than those
which have grown out of any other
religion. Byzantine and Gothic archi-
lecture received their highest express
sion in sacred building, so much so in
the case of Gothic that the lay mind
confuses that architectural type with
pictures of the wonderful cathedrals
of France and Germany. Christian
temples are among the most wonder
full architectural accomplishments of
all times, and by far and away their
most respondent example is Santa
Sophia, the oldest, the most magnifi-
cent, the most costly and the most in
teresting of all Christian churches.
Santa Sophia has become an in
SEPARATION to all of Greek Orthodox be-
lief who are fighting in the present
battles of Europe. AS st. Peters is
the mother-church for all the Catholic
world, so Santa Sophia is the mother
church of all of Greek faith. One is
the metropolitan of the East, the 9th
er of the West, and both are the
grandest examples of architectural
splendor within their faiths. Both are
churches that cost almost fabulous
sums in the building, and Santa So
phia cost almost twice as much as
st. Peters, or more than any temple
since history began for the Christian
world.
Built at Enormous Cost.
1t is estimated that Santa Sophia
including the values of ground, mate
rial. labor, ornaments and church uten
sils, cost about s64,000.00O. while the
common estimate of the cost of st
Peters, the chief present splendor o
the Eternal City, is placed at $4,000,

CHAPTER XIV.
An American Girl.

The Marquise d'Esclignac saw that
she had to reckon with an American
girl. Those who know these girls
know what their temper and mettle
are. and that they are capable of the
finest reverberation.
Julia Redmond was very young.
Otherwise she would never have let
Sabron go without one sign that she
was not Indifferent to him, and that
she was rather bored with the idea
of titles and fortunes. But she adored
her aunt and saw, moreover, some
thing else than ribbons and velvets in
the makeup of the aunt. She saw
deeper than the polish that long
Partisan lifetime had overlaid, ana
she loved what she saw. She respected
her aunt. and knowing the older lady's
point of view. had been timid and hest
tating until now.
Now the American girl woke up, or
rather asserted herself
MY dear Julia" said the Marquise
d'Esclignac, ARE you sure that all the
timed things. the cocoa, and so forth
are on board? | did not see that box"
Ma tante." returned her niece from
her steamer chair. its the only piece
OF luggage l am sure about"
At this response her aunt suffered a
slight Qualm for the fate of the rest Of
her luggage, and. from her own chair
in the shady part of the deck glanced
toward her niece, whose eyes were on
her book.
What a practical girl she is"
thought the Marquise dEsclignac.
"She seems ten years older than l..
She is cut out to be the wife OF a poor
man. II is a pity she should have a
fortune. Julia would have been charm
ing as love in a cottage. whereas
She remembered her hotel on the
Pare Monceau, her chateau by the
Rhone, her villa at Biarritz-and
sighed. She had not always been the
Marquise dEsclignac; she had been
an American girl first and remembered
that her maiden name had been De
Puyster and that she had come from
Schenectady originally. But for many
years she had forgotten these things.
Near to Julia Redmond these last few
weeks all but courage and simplicity
had seemed to have tarnish on its
wings.
Sabron had not been found.
1t was a curious fact. and one that
transpires now and then in the history
of desert wars-the man is lost The
captain of the cavalry was missing,
and the only news of him was that he
had fallen in an engagement and that
his body had never been recovered
Several sorties had been made to find
him; the war department had done all
that 1t could; he had disappeared from
the face of the desert and even his
bones could not be found.
From the moment that Julia Red
mond had confessed her love for the
Frenchman, courage had been born
in her which never faltered, and her
aunt seemed to have been infected by
it. The marquise grew sentimental
found out that she was more docile and
impressionable than she had believed
herself to be. and the veneer and eti
quette (no doubt never a very rea
part of herr became less important
than other things. During the last
few weeks she had been more a De
Puyster from Schenectady than the
Marquise dEsclignac.
