receiver hung upon its hook was the
only reply to Helen's frantic Hello.

She walked around and found Louise
with two copies of the Scroll in her
hand.

planned. Whatever is the matter,
Hulen?"
Come on, let's go out; we can walk

way out.

and choking her.

self get so worked up over tritie.
! Helen"
Explanations That Fail to Explain
| But Helen refused to be comforted
and by the time she had left Louise
and reached her own apartment she
was ready for tears. Warren had done
enough to her lately, but this certainly
was the limit of endurance. To have
him speak to her that way over the
telephone, humiliate her before the
J operator. She was certain that some-
thing out of the ordinary had happen
ed. Just then the telephone rang and
she waited for Mary to answer it.
/ IT'S for you, Mrs. Curtis" said
Mary coming to the door.
Who is it, do you know?" said
Helen.
This was such an unusual question
, that Mary stared.
| It's Mr.. Curtis, ma'am."
Tell him l haven't come in yet"
| Again Mary looked her astonish-
ment.
! Go on, do as 1 say" said Helen
sharply, and then as Mary hurried to
do as she was told, she called: Never
mind. Mary, I'll come"
! "Hello!" came in Warren's usual
brisk manner. Say, what on earth
was the matter with you before?"
With me?" said Helen, ''yes, you
may well ask that question. If you
called up to explain, you can ring off,
because 1 don't wish to hear any
thing"
| We'll, If you're not unreasonable"
protested Warren Indignantly. How
could I help answering you as 1 did?
The boss was in here and had asked
me up to dinner. Could ! tell you how
sorrow 1 was that ] couldn't get home.
and have him say that any other time
would do just as we'll? That would do
| just as we'll? That would be a hot
state of affairs, now wouldn't it?"
| II think you could have explained.
| You spoiled my whole evening, and
then expect me to be perfectly reason
able about it,
"Of course I expect you to be rea-
sonable. / don't have a chance to get
in with the big boss every day. Don't
you understand, Helen?"
| AS a general rule, Helen would have
considered Warren's explanation en-
tirely satisfactory, but she had allowed
herself to get nervously worked up.
mo. 1 don't" she said pettishly.
And then again heard the click of the
receiver as Warren, with a smothered
eXpletive, hung up. Helen burst into
tears. She was right. She felt that
she was right and Warren had treated
her abominable.

Flesh Is Tender and Juicy


Only those who have eaten a prime
milk-fed chicken, properly prepared
for the table, understand the super
iority of it's flesh to that of the we'll
fed chicken allowed free range. In
the case of the milk fed the muscular
tissues have been so softened by close
confinement that a thick portion of
cooked meat can be severed with the
fork, whereas the activity of the
chicken on the range maintains the
toughness and natural resistance of its
muscles. Globules of fat are dis
tributed through the lean meat of
every portion of the body of the milk
fed, giving a delicious juiciness and
flavor when cooked that is rarely
found in any other fowl.
Milk-feedilg chickens is a simple
undertaking that can be successfully
conducted by anyone. 1t is a money
making business because the chickens
are not permitted to exercise and
waste their food, and there should be
no loss from disease.
There are only four requisites: A
supply of fattening crates in which
the chickens are confined suitable
chickens for feeding, a mixture of
ground meal and quantity of butter
milk or well-soured skimmilk.
Construction of Feeding Crates
Fattening crates are generally made
about 10 feet long, IS inches wide and
22 inches high, and set on legs about
80 inches above the ground. Each
crate is divided into four compart-
ments to prevent the chickens from
walking from end to end. The floor
is covered with wire netting so that
the droppings fall to the ground. keep
ing the crates sanitary. This wire
netting floor will not affect the feet
1t, de rIn n1y 1r. lg,.s
sions are also covered with wire net
ting.
The front of the crate is covered
with narrow laths nailed on vertically
to provide sufficient divisions for all
the chickens to eat at once from the
V-shaped trough at the front of the
crate. This feeding trough rests on
notched supports nailed to the ends
of the crate, and should be remov-
able. The roof should project far
enough over the crate to protect the
chickens from rain.
Place the crates outdoors in any
sheltered location, under some trees
or in an open she'd. The chickens are
confined closely and require abundant
ventilation. One of these crates 10
feet long will accommodate 60 pounds
of chickens-15 pounds to each COM
partment.
The most suitable chickens to milk
feed are young Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and
Wyandottes. Crossbred and common
or mongrel chickens fatten satIsfac-
torily. Leghorn and other light breed
cockerels are excellent for making
fries and should be finished when they
weigh IL ounces each. They do not
milk-feed profitably when confined at
an older age.
Chickens of any breed weighing
from three-quarters to one pound
each can be made into milk-fed fries
as plump and tender as quail. When
killed and plucked after the feeding

The MILDLY blouse that is shocked in
place of being simply gathered and which
is supplied with ample pockets, makes one
of the most fashionable simple garments
of the season. This costume shows it
made OF white serge, worn over skirt of
blue and trimmed with blue. 1t is ex-
ceedingly attractive and it is exceedingly
practical, but the whole costume can of
course be copied in blue serge, or, the
shocked MILDLY could be copied in serge
or in crepe de chine or in any suitable ma
terial, to be worn over an odd skirt and
crepe de chine is greatly liked for such use.
The skirt is in three pieces with the front
edges hemmed and over-iapped.
For the I6 year size the MILDLY will re-
quire So yds. of material Fl in. wide, SZ

toast by leading hotels. One chicken
is split in half and supplies two guests.
The cost of each portion is from sew
enty-five cents to one dollar. Chickens
of one and one-half to four pounds
weight at the commencement of the
feeding make delicious broilers and
roasters. Heavier Spring chickens
can be milk-fed but not as profltably
fowls, except that which results from
the Improvement of the quality of the
flesh due to the confinement. Unless
the fowls are of poor flesh, prior to
the feeding, there is almost no gain
in weight.

The Houdan is the most extensively
bred fowl in France, where it origi-
mated. In America it has been popu-
lar since its introduction more than
fifty years ago.
Aside from the fact that it is a
handsome-looking fowl with its black
plumage mottled with white, the Hou-
dan is a wonderful utility breed.
The hens are heavy layers of large
white eggs. They are particularly de-
sirable for the backyard flock because
of their docility and because they
thrive in confinement. They are hardy
and good foragers so that they may
be left to rough it on the farm.

HOUDANS
COPYRIGHT. 1915.

The males weigh from seven to eight
pounds and the females six pounds.
For the average table this is a good
sized fowl. Their skin is thin and the
flesh is fine grained. 1t is full of
breast and the bones are small.
The legs are mottled white and
black and harmonic with the plum
age. There are five toes on each foot
instead of four. The skull of the Hou-
don, too, differs from that of other
varieties in that it has a bump on
the top from which the crest grows.
In newly Matched chicks this is par
ticularly noticeable. In addition to
their crest the full grown birds have q
V-shaped comb.

Fattening For Market by New
Method Takes Fourteen
Days; Does Not Require
Much Skill
Good Eating Qualities Make
MiIk-Feds Easy Sellers;
Bring Higher Prices
COPYRIGHT, 1915.
BY Frank c. Hare
Poultry Husbandman, Clemson Col
lege, South Carolina.

Because of the big money in fatten-
ing poultry by the milk-feeding
method, and because it requires less
experience and skill than other
branches of the poultry industry, many
amateurs are taking up this depart
Inent of the business exclusively. In
this article, Professor Hare tells how
TO he successful in this work and gives
some valuable suggestions ON the
preparation of birds for market.
VXTITHIN the last few years there
wv has been evolved new depart
w ment in the poultry industry
which has become a national factor
in the commercial poultry world. This
new department is the milk feeding OF
chickens in crates. Throughout the
country there are hundreds of plants
where anywhere from dozen to 40,-
900 chickens are fattened by this scien-
tific method at one time.
A livelier demand, q greater con-
sumption, better price and GUS
toners fully satisfied are the results
of this novel svstem of finishing chick
ems for market. 1t marks the differ
ence between a green and finished
product, between the product the crit
ical buyer wants and what he has to
accept because there is nothing better
at hand.

UNITED STATES AMONG ....
 WORLDS OLDEST NATIONS
Government Has Remained the
 Same For l2s Years

The United States of America
 Is one of the oldest nations on earth
 the Philadelphia Ledger states,
 With the exception of England and
 Russia it Is. as an existing nation,
 older than any country in Europe
 And alone in the western world 1t
 has stood for the last 1s5 years
 with an unchanged government.
 Its boundaries have expanded and it's constitution has been amended and ii has gone through civil war;
 but the United States is ~ruled~ today as it was raled in iTS9, and
 it is the only western nation that is.
 The constitution of the United
 States of America WAS adopted in
 the year the French revolution be- gan Since tTse Europe has been rsma3e. Among the nations four stand out as ~ancient"- England. Russia, Denmark and Spain Yet
 in the last century and quarter these countries have lived through
 governmental changes that show beside the stability of the United States rule as exceedingly signifi- can't shifts
 The changes that have taken place in the English regime are the most interesting. because they are the least known to the world st large. It is inevitable with us all that the mention of an ancient nation" 8 stable government" ," the oldest country on earth should bring the thought of England to our minds
 But the government of England. as we know it today, dates its be ginning from the year 1882 That Is the date Of the passage of the first reform bill. These bills-the first in 1882 the second in 1887 and the last in fSS4-shifted the government of England from lords 10 commons. from nohles and men of great property to the people themselves. changed the limitation of England's monarchy from a feudal to 3 popular right Without the government Of the country was effectively revolution ized.

ATTENTION.

The attention of our readers is
called to the sale of the George
H. Foster farm noted elsewhere
in this paper. 1t is one of the
best in the county and has been
grazed and fortified heavily for
years. For many years all the
manure from Fosters livery
barn here was put on this place,
and it was greatly enriched
thereby. The Salem Mail route
2 times a day each way passes
the door. The Tolu Star Route
passes each way once a day.
Rural Route No. 3, from Marion
also passes the farm. 100 acres
is in grass and the 80 acres in
corn this year had been in grass
many years. Oak Grove School
House is just across the road,
and Marion Graded and High
School in easy reach being only
2 miles away and pupils can go
from this place to school each
morning.
