BARLEY NEXT TO CORN.
National Crop Improvement Service

Barley has a feeding value next to
corn. Indeed some feeders place it
ahead of corn for pig food and at the
present prices, barley will make as
much and more profit than wheat. The
wheat crop, has now "gone to the
Jury" We cannot do much more about
wheat but we have two or three weeks
yet in order to put all of our acreage
remaining into barley.
Barley is more profitable than oats.
In fact, very few farmers make any
money out of oats under the best cir
cumstances and very few barley far
mers ever lose money on barley.
There is always the fascination Of get
ting fancy price for fancy barley,
and although less than one per cent
of all grains are used for mailing pur-
poses, the additional price which it
gives to barley over oats always
makes money for the farmers. While
perhaps one per cent of the grain
crop is used in brewing, the loss Of
feed value is much smaller because
fully one half goes back to dairy far
mers in the fern of dried grains and
ether by-products, which for feed pur-
poses is among the best available.

she inquired.
Dave took her hand and looked down
at her, framing commonplace reply.
But for some reason the words lay I'M
spoken upon his tongue. Alaire's in
formal greeting, her parted lips, the
welcoming light in her eyes, had sent
them flying. 1t seemed to him that the
dim half-light which illumined this
nook emanated from her face and her
person, that the fragrance which came
to his nostrils was the perfume of her
breath, and at the prompting Of these
thoughts all his smothered lOngings
rose as if at signal. AS mutinous
prisoners in Jail delivery overpower
their guards, so did Dawes long-re-
pressed emotions gain the upper hand
of him now, and so swift was their
uprising that he could not summon
more than feeble, panicky resistance.
The awkwardness of the pause which
followed Alaire's inquiry strengthened
the rebellious impulses within him, and
quite unconsciously his friendly grasp
upon her fingers frightened. For her
part, as she saw this sudden change
sweep over him, her own face altered
and she felt something within her
breast leap into life. No woman could
have failed to read the meaning of his
sudden agitation, and, strange to say,
it worked similar state of feeling
In Alaire. She strove to control her.
self and to draw away, but instead
found that her hand had answered
his, and that her eyes were flashing
recognition Of his look. All In an In
slant she realized how deathly tired
of her own struggle she had become,
and experienced a reckless impulse to
cast away all restraint and blindly
meet his first advance. She had no
time to question her yearnings; she
seemed to understand only that this
man offered her rest and security; that
in his arms lay sanctuary.
To both it seemed that they stood
there silently, hand in hand, for
very long time, though in reality there
was scarcely moment of hesitation
on the part of either. A drunken,
GREATNESS instant of uncertainty, then
Alaire was on Dawes breast, and his
strength, his ardor, his desire, was
throbbing through her. Her bare arms
were about his neck; sigh, the token
Of utter surrender, fluttered from her
throat. She raised her face to his and
their lips melted together.

Regarding the best yields OF bar

Some of the highest ones are as fol-

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD
AS a Bread Cereal 1t Is Little Used.
AS An Animal Food 1t ls of

National Crop Improvement seryico.l

National Crop Improvement SerVice.l
For many centuries barley, the
corn of holy writ, was used as g.
bread cereal, but it has practically
gone out of use, except that Norway
and Sweden use it in their peculiar
bread disks, which are about the size
and shape of photograph record.
Barley in itself does not make a
a good bread flour and could be uti-
liZed only by mixing it with wheat,
something which the American miller
considers Dissertation of his shrine. It
has a peculiar flavor and is just as diff
ferent from wheat bread, as either
corn or rye.
But as stock feed, it has many
merits. AS the kernels are too hard for
some animals to relish, it may be
crushed by passing it between rollers
If finely ground, the gluten makes
a sticky mass as soon as it is wet,
and this peculiar property makes it
difficult to make it into good bread. It's
main use in the American kitchen has
been to use it as pearled barley in
soups. It is used some in breakfast
food, through a mailing process, but
unless we as American people are on
the verge Of starvation, we will never
use barley as a regular diet.

had been considered not too flattering
and Phil treasured them as evidences

But the Stranges had tired of public

yearning to forsake the platform and
pit for something more congenial, and
finally she had prevailed upon Phil
to make change.
The step had not been taken without
misgivings, but benign Providence
had watched over the pair. Mrs.
Strange was q natural seamstress, and
luck had directed her and Phil to a
community which was not only in need
of good dreSsmaker but peculiarly
ripe for the talents of a soothsayer.
Phil, too, had intended to embrace q
new profession; but he had soon dis.
covered that Jonesville offered better
financial returns to a man of his &C.
copied gifts than did the choicest of
seaside concessions, and therefore he
had resumed his old calling under a
slightly different guiSe. Before long
he acknowledged himself well pleased
with the new environment, for his wife
was far happier in draping dress goods
upon the figures of her customers than
hanging python folds about her own,
and he found his own fame growing
with every day. His mediumistic gifts
came into general demand. The cOun-
try-people journeyed miles to consult
him, and Blaze Jones' statement that
they confided in the fortune-teller as
they would have confded in a priest
was scarcely an exaggeration. Phil
did indeed become the repository for
confessions of many sorts.
Contrary to BlaZe's belief, however,
Strange was no Prince of Darkness,
and took little JOY in some Of the Sc.
