MERCIFUL NURSE TO MANKIND

AS q merciful nurse to mankind,
cheerily and heartily bestowing beauty

lows at the heels of calamitieS and Wis
itations; Ii walks In the wake of the
ravages and atrocities of war; Ii
comes after the fall Of the thunderbolt,
after the conclusion of the earthquake.
1t rides the tempest, the whirlwlnd,
the flood. the tornado, and In the hours
of threatening anger and dissension IL
covers up the scars of the past and
thrusts prejudices and vested rights"
away In the blackness of midnight
darkness.
IT'S Charity who lays the coin In the
beggar's hand. IT'S Charity who takes
the orphan In its arms, houses the In
digent and the aged, clothes the naked,
feeds the hungry and lifts the fallen.
We find II. as the late Urion b. Hunt
once remarked, standing at the prison
gate, as IL seeks those who have vio-
lated the laws of God and man, 10
counsel and aid In a proper reforma-
| ton; we find Ii In the bowels Of the
earth, in the forest, upon the mountain
top, in the shop and counting room,
| upon the green fields, in the valleys
and upon the streets the wide world
over-wherever sorrow and misfor-
tune has placed It's blighting grasp. ii

and spreads It's rays of hope and en-
enlargement. '-"Frlendship. Charity

BETTER PRICES FOR PRODUCE
Bringing About Improved Methods and
Closer Attention to Scientific
GROWING of Crops.

Better prices for farm products are
bringing about better methods and
closer attention to the scientific grow
ing and handling of crops and soils, ac-
cording to A. n. Brown, editor of Fruit
Belt, who declares that the first and
fundamental step.is 70 know soils and
TO know what elements of fertility
should be supplied TO aid growing
crops. If care be not taken TO keep
the soil supplied by the addition Of
manures and fertilizers, the yields be-
come smaller each year, but when the
soils are managed properly the fer
tility is maintained and productive
ness Is increased.

FEEDING OF NOTING FOWLS
Material Adaptable for Eggs VIII Also
Make Feathers-some Oily Food
Is Necessary.

The feed OF melting hens should not
differ greatly from that of laying hens.
Both eggs and feathers are rich in
nitrogen, so q food adaptable for eggs
will also make feathers. However, the
latter are richer in oil than eggs are.
and some food of oily nature should be
added TO this ration TO supply this
want.
1t has been conclusively proved that
n liberal amount Of sunfiower. fiaxseed
or oil meal TO the ration makes hens
molt faster and leaves them In N
stronger condition and with more vi
tally.

farm. The village lawyer came 10 see
Marcy one evening n week later. He
announced 10 his client that he was
the sole heir 10 the farm and that a

been left 10 him.

nit,,ly that he could not think of ac-

the dying intention of Mr.. Tresham
was TO leave Ii to the girl he had driven
from his love.

All the same Lucius Marcy quietly
went to the city the next day and paid
an advance fee to an information bu-
reau TO try and locate the long-absent
Hester Vale.
Then he bought ledger and day
book. Exery night Marcy put down
the expenses and receipts of the day,
and one item always: Cash for one

came a telegram from the city finally.

"Send word that she Is wanted at

am" was the return wire which Marcy
sent.
He was working at digging drain
age trench for the garden one day
when On automobile drove up. A lady
alighted, young, handsome, but her
face was that of one who had seen
sorrow.
III am Mrs. Newland," she spoke.
Il was sent for" and then, as she
noted a puzzled look In Marcy's face,
she added-"but, perhaps, l am best
known here as Hester Vale"
THAT is right" bowed Marcy in his
frank, direct way. "Will you take a
seat on the porch, please" and, seated,
also, he told his story.
II have kept the place just as Ii was
as worker for YOU" he explained. IF
you wish me to remain"
He paused, she was staring at him
in a strange way.
"You mean to tell me-" she faltered
that you wish to give your property

"As Mr. Tresham desired on his
deathbed, certainly" gravely respond
ed Marcy.
She continued TO stare ut him. Then
he noted a dim moisture come to her
eyes. She addressed him:
"Will you do me favor?"
Certainly, madam"

The lawyer came to see him that
evening. He recited a strange story.
Hester Vale had married n man of
large wealth who had left her for
tune, but, as we'll, a legacy of mis-
treatment and neglect She was q
widow. To her the humble farm home
as value was less than trifle, but
its memories-!
They came back to her poignantly
now. She fingered at the town with an
old friend for nearly q month. She
was wont TO come to the little farm
and wander over 1t and talk with
Marcy of the later life of her old uncle.
And then one day she broke down,
tired of the hollow worldly life that
| awaited her in the city. His heart
went out to hers. He tried to console
