sorry for them, as you do. was
thinking there is a good deal of snow
around the place and if you would
not mind loaning me your shovel
would be glad to clean off their
snow" @.
81 don't think they feel able to pay
any money at present" began the
woman, but Hector interrupted her
with the declaration:
"Oh,.I wouldn't think of charging
themp'
why, you-you good man" cried
the impulsive housewife. Loan you
the shovel? Yes, indeed! l declare!'
Many times thereafter the warm
hearted lady went to the window and
glanced out admiringly at the active
young fellow cleaning off the snow
next door. Hector Invested the walks
of their mantle of white. Then he
observed where a clothesline ran
criss-cross, spanning the yard from
the house to the fence. He must
have been a thoughtful man, for the
suggestion that anybody hanging up
clothes would welcome a clear path
started him at this finishing touch of
his work.
Suddenly he paused in his labor.
Then he stopped and then he thrilled.
Cast up with the snow was a fiat,
long wallet. In a flash he guessed
out the mighty fact: It was the stol-
en- wallet! Was the money still in it?
He looked to see. He placed it in his
pocket and stood meditating.
It took but a flashing moment to !
surmise the truth Doubtlessly, he
reasoned, the wounded burglar had |
dropped it amid his pain and eager
ness to escape. It was showing
heavily at the time and the wallet |
had lain secreted under its f1eecy COW
ering until now.
Hector Greene walked toward the |
house. A door opened. He stood |
riveted at the sight of the sweetest
face he had ever looked into.

'T do not like to intrude," replied.

you are very welcome" came the,
earnest response, and Hector kicked
the snow from his feet and entered
the kitchen, but his hostess led the
way into the living room, where her
father was just seated at the table.
Father" she said, here is a gen.
tleman who has kindly made it pos +,
sible for us to get about without los
ing ourselves in the snow"

eous old man, but there was a sad
ness in his tones that touched

We have just met with great mis-
fortune, sir"
Greene held his counsel for the
time being. In fact, as his charm
ing hostess seated herself opposite
to him and the tempting viands were
pressed upon him, Hector Greene +
gave heart and soul to the rare en-
jOyment of the moment.
Continually the old man kept talk
ing of his troubles all through the
meal, and Madge, Notwithstanding
her cheerful talk, Greene noted, tried
to keep back her tears. AS the re- .
past was concluded Greene took the
wallet from his pocket.
''Mr. Bell" he said, simply, hand
ing it to the old man, 81 picked this
up as I was shoveling the snow in
your yard"
The old man gazed, glared and
sank back overcome. With clasped
hands Madge stood spelIbound as
Hector told the details of his discov-
cry. Her father, with trembling
hands, selected a dozen banknotes.
'Your reward - oh, you noble
man." he said, huskily, but Greene
waved the money aside.
He was fully rewarded as Madge
came up to him, took both his hands
in her own, tried to say something,
burst into tears and threw herself in
her fathers arms.
They would not let him go. The old

CHOOSING SITE FOR
STORAGE OF CABBAGE
Select WeIl-Drained Ridge of the
Most GraveIly SOil-PuII Up
by Roots.

In choosing a site for storage pit
for cabbage, select a ridge, well drained
and as gravelly a soil as possible. The
pit should be six to ten inches deep,
the length and width depending upon
the amount to be stored. 1t is well to
have 1t wide enough to accommodate
three to five heads on the bottom row.
In harvesting the heads, pull up by
the roots. Break off only the dead or
diseased leaves, and fold the remain
ing leaves over the head as much as
possible to protect them. OverTipe or
cracked heads should not be stored.
The cabbage is placed in the pit with
the heads down and roots up. The
second layer is also placed heads down
between the roots of the first layer.
It is well not to have more than two
layers, on account of the weight hav-
ing a tendency to crush the lower
layer.
When the cabbages are put in place
they are covered with a layer Of
earth. When cold weather comes,
straw or manure can be added.
Cabbages can often be kept better
In pits than in common cellars.

COWS FRESHENED IN AUTUMN
Calves Are Usually Strong and Viaor-
ous-Nothina to Check Growth
Butter Fat Higher.

One thing Of great Importance to the
dairyman is the time to have the cows
come fresh. Cows that freshen dur
ing the fall months come in at time
when we are not quite so busy and
can look after them and give them
proper care and attention.
The calves are usually strong and
vigorous, and as fly time is practically
over there is nothing to materially
check their growth.
Fall-freshened cows no doubt re-
quire more attention than those COM
ing fresh during the spring months,
but as we usually have the spare
time at this particular period of the
year, the time in caring for them,
feeding, ETC., is prOfitably spent.
Butterfat is usually higher during
the fall and winter, and of course this
makes the business profitable If we
have plenty of good feed and Of the
right sort for producing butterfat.
There are many other good points
in favor of having the COWS come fresh
during the fall months.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-ROCt, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip.
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians thaO
the kidneys should have more attentioA
as they control the other organs to n.
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisOns
and waste matter from the system By
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some a..
sistance when needed. We take less En-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. u

vate practice and it is sure to benefit yoa

MORE ATTENTION Is
NECESSARY FOR HOGS
Better Care Than in Spring Need
ed During Autumn to Offset
Seasonal Conditions.
CBy e. r. SPENCE, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)

(By 2. r. SPENCE, Missouri Agrtcul-
tural Experiment Stauon.)
Hogs are not as resistant to disease
at this season of the year as they are
in the spring. when getting an abun-
dance of green forage, and having ac-
cess to a wide range. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to give them more attention
and better care to offset seasonal con-
ditions and danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre of ground, day after day.
This communicates the feeding places,
and also attracts crows, pigeons, and
sparrows, which may have been feed
ing with a cholera-infected herd.
Throw the feed out in a different spot
each day, thus giving the pigs clean
''plate" from which to eat.
The water supply is of much i'm
portance to the health of the hogs at
this time Of year. Wd mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad If
the hogs can have pure water to drink,
but if forced to bathe and drink in the
same "tub" serious trouble can be ex-
pected at any time. See that they have
an abundance Of pure water to drink,
situated near the wallow n6les or feed
ing places. Pure water will aid mate
rally in keeping the herd chOlera-free.

IMPORTANT TO. MILK CLEANLY
n Not Done Cow Will Soon Have
SwoIIen Udder Which May Result
in Her Ruination.

It is important that cows be
Eilked clean. There is a loss In two
ways in not milking them clean. Not
only. does the owner lose the milk, but
the cow will soon have a swollen ud-
der, which may result in the loss Of
a quarter or ruin the whole COW, as far
as milking is concerned.
And, beside, If a COW testing 4
Der cent butterfat be MIXED and the
first fourth of the milk be tested. 1t
will probably only test about 2 per
cent, and it may even be little lower.
The second fourth will test be-
tween 8 and 4 per cent and keep on
increasing, and the very last milk, or
strippings, sometimes tests as high as
12 and even Is per cent. Hence, the
importance of getting the strippings.

BADGES for the Wounded.

Those people whose curiosity leads
them to study the many badges Of
rank which now decorate the sleeves
Of officers and men Of the allied armies
have been puzzled by the appearance
Of new badge in the French army.
FreaeA soldiers on leave In England
may be seen wearing narrow stripes Oa
the arm above the elbow and ordinary
people have been unable to understand
why some of the rank and file have
been able to sport even more Of these
decorations than officers of high rank.
The explanation is simple. Every stripe
means wounded once. The French
government has inaugurated a scheme
by which every soldier is entitled to
wear one for every time he has been
wounded.
Some men have already won several
such stripes and the other day one
man In London was the proud weareF
Of nine.

ment Of Agriculture.)
Larkspur Is only exceeded by the
loco plant as a destroyer of life among
domestic herbivOrous animals, It has
been found by an exhaustive study con-
Quoted by the U. s. department of ag-
riculture. The losses from larkspur
have been reported from all regions
between Mexico and Canada, Rocky
Mountains and Pacific coast. Cattle
suffer most from this poisoning, re-
cent experiments having proved that
sheep can eat larkspur without danger,
while horses do not seem to relish the
plants and so seldom are injured. Any
animal, to be injured by larkspur, re-
cent experiments Of the department
showed, must consume a quantity of
the weeds equal to at least per cent
of its weight.
In the opinion Of the Investigators,
the fact that sheep are apparently able
to feed upon larkspurs with entire i'm
punity may be utilized in some cases
to protect the cattle. Where larkspur
is especially abundant, it is desirable
to use the range for sheep rather than
for cattle or to combine sheep grazing
and cattle grazing in such manner
that the areas infested with larkspur
shall be first eaten down by the sheep.
On comparatively limited areas it may
be possible to dig up the tall larkspur,
but this is frequently too costly a
measure to be adopted and, further
more, it is rarely possible to eradicate
completely the poisonous weed.
Generally speaking, there are two

weeks give a little choice hay.
If the calf seems uhthrifty or weak,
feed four times a day and give slight
ly less at time.
Overfeeding is more dangerous than
underfeeding. Keep the pals clean and
give milk warm, as nearly as posi-
BILE the temperature of freshly drawn
milk.
Beginning the fifth week, gradually
substitute skim milk for the whole
milk. About the eighth week increase
the amount from six to ten pounds
twice daily.
Do not feed the froth which rises
in separator skim milk, as it is likely
to cause indigestion, bloat and scOurs.
