vessel but as month after month pass
ed and she heard nothing from him
the hope gradually died away She
was well skilled in her work and re-
ceived every attention and encourage
ment, as did all survivors of that ter
rible shipwreck.
And so time passed. The widow
worked hard and saved that she might
educate her child. Amelia was still
young and comely, with the fair hair
and complexion Of the people ofethe
north and pair of melancholy blue
eyes. Suitors came, but she listened
to none of them. From childhood she
had been Adolph Stairs sweetheart,
and there was little prospect of her
eyer giving herself to any other man.
Six years passed. Little Lena Stahr.
who was now old enough to he amused
by pageants, when a Labor day came
round besought her mother to take her
to see the procession.
SO Mrs. Stair, putting on the child's
best clothes, took her into the city and
found vacant stoop where they would
be sufficiently elevated to see the
marching men. There they waited.
The child was wild with that excite
ment children Of her age display at
some unusual occurrence especially q
parade. When necks were craned in
the direction the trades unions were
expected she would shout, 'Here they
Gomez and when disappointed would
begin to look forward for the next fore
cast Of the approach. In this way an
hour passed, when q distant roll of
drums was heard, followed by faint
strains of martial music. Then Lena
danced and clapped her hands and
laughed with anticipation.
At last came the band, headed by the
drum major, whose tossing of his staff
was delight to all Unlocking children.
Then the grand marshal, surrounded
by his aids, passed by. followed by one
union after another When the masons
passed suddenly a man darted from the
ranks, pushed his way through the
crowd that lined the sidewalk and,
leaping over several small boys and
disarranging the big hats Of number
Of women, clasped Amelia in his arms.
The man was Adolph Stair. her hus-
band. Amelia saw him anflknew him
before he reached her. Almost before
his arms were about her she lost con-
seriousness. Her first act after coming
to herself was to point to Lena.
Adolph understood, and, taking the
child in his arms, the three were united
in one embrace.
Stair after parting with his wife on
the sinking vessel began to think of
himself. First he picked up life pre-
server and put it about him. He was
cool and took forethought for posi-
BILE saving of his life. He secured a
bottle of water and some meat and
bread. These, with small flask of
liquor he had brought with him on his
journey, he slowed away as best he
could on his person, then, returning to
the deck, gathered what loose material
he could to make raft.
The latter stood him in good stead,
for, embarking upon it, he managed to
paddle himself far enough away from
the ship not to be drawn down with
her when she sank. He was among
q very few who did 50, and soon after
the lhtp went down he became separat-

went to the mothers home to lay plans

Flowing under and pasturing are bet
ter, but they also involve some waste.
On the other hand, ensiling the
slower means that its feeding value is
utilized to the full. A quantity of
rOughage is provided which lessons the
need for expensive concentrates and
makes the production of meat more
profitable by lowering the cost of
manufacture. Obviously, this is a
stimulus to the keeping of live stock,
which from every point of view is
most desirable.
In preparing slower for feeding, chop
ping or shredding increases its palata-
bility and enables a greater quantity to
be stored in a given space. Both of
these methods. however, involve the
use of additional labor and can only
be recommended when labor and power
are cheap and abundant. Cutting and
shocking, on the other hand, involve
some waste, but in general this is off
set by the saving in labor.

PRODUCE MEAT AND
AID SOIL FERTILITY
Putting Corn Slower Into SiIo Is
Most Economical Way to Han
GIe-NeVer Burn Stalks.

CFrom the United States Department OF
Agricultural
The most economical way of han
ding corn slower is to put it into a
silo. If generally adopted, this prac-
tice would end a waste through wrong
methods that now amounts to 50 per
cent of all the slower fed, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture. 1t would place at the disposal
of the farmer an enormous mass Of
roughage to cheaper the cost of pro-
ducing meat and to maintain soil fer
tility in the most economical of all
ways-by the production of manure.
That the value of slower as feed is
recognized to some extent is Indicated
by the fact that SID per cent of what
is produced is fed in some way. Ere
quently, however, it is not the right
way. For instance, such practices as
pulling the fodder" or topping" the
corn are most wasteful, but approx
mately 80 per cent of matured corn
is handled in one OF these two ways.
The stalks that are left standing in
the field are pastured. plowed, under
or burned.
To burn slower is q crime against
Intelligent agriculture for which it is
difficult to find any explanation ex-
cept obstinate ignorance on the part
of the perpetrators. It offers a quick
and easy method of clearing the
ground for blowing, but that is small
offset for the waste Of good material

Tomato animals and are usually graft
fed to do the will of their master. If
possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock it is
a great advantage to have stock that
is used to being driven by a dog, upon
which to break the puppy. Stock that
is not used to a dog is often easily
frightened, or it may fight the dog. 1t
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are initiative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. 1t is as
easy to teach them to mind a Single

CFrom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Swine are prOftably grown in prac-
ticaIIy every locality and on almost
every type of soil in the United States.
Although the most heavily stocked re-
giOn is found in the corn belt, the East
and the South are increasing the num-
Der of their swine at rapid rate, very
largely because Of the use of pasture
crops to replace part of the grain "a
ton. In fact, hogs are grown IN
der many different methods of farming
and fed upon a great variety of crops,
showing that they are well adapted to
almost any condition found upon the
farms of this country.
Ideal Location.
An ideal location is on a weIl-drain-
ed farm possessing rich soil that will
produce grasses and other forage as
well as the grains needed for fatten-
ing the hogs. This does not mean,
however, that only those farmers hold
ing rich, level lands should raise
hogs, for, as a matter of fact, hogs
are most easily handled on farms that
are somewhat rolling. For the pro-
uGClIOn VI 1OIdS0 CIOpS IIS IOItIIS
farm is often as good as the level one,
and frequently has the added advan-
tage of shade and a better water sup
ply. The hill farmer does not have
the best of it in all things, but in
many instances he has certain advan-
tages which he does not appreciate.
In locating, the question of a mar
ket also must be considered, and the
facilities for reaching it. Most COM
munities are connected with the large
central live stock markets by the rail-
roads, but these will be of little avail if
the roads to the railroads are poor.
Good roads are of inestimable impor-
lance, for, among other things, they
enable the farmer to market his prod
ucts at any and all times.
Right Number of Hogs.
The number of hogs for each farm
must be determined by a study of lo-
