 Boiling Old or Sour Garbage.

Boiling Old or Sour Garbage.
 Smaller losses occur, especially from tuberculosis, where cooked gar bage is fed. If the garbage is fed fresh it seems fgom general expert greater than the saving in pigs. The advisability of cooking old garbage is still debated question. If very old especially if some of the material is s6ured it is safer to put it in an open kettle, pour in enough water to form a swill, and boil for twenty to thirty minutes. This should not be fed un- til it has cooled
 Care should be always taken to ex- seapy dishwater. These are very ir- ritating to the mucus lining of the stomach and intestines and are sure to cause trouble when given in any large quantity. Chicken and fish en- trails should . be excluded. The course. fibrous vegetable wastes such as corn husks and pea and bean pods are almost irdigestible and are given hogs. Decaying vegetables or meats are apt to poison any anir:al and should be carefully excluded. Broken china or glassware may cause death if eaten with the food.
 General Recommendations.
 In feeding garbage no set rules as to the amount to be given can be fol- lowed. All that the nOSS VIII clean up well should be fed. The animals should be gradually brought up to a full feed as serious digestive distur- bances may result if they are put on a full feed suddenly. With young pigs this danger is greater than with grown hogs. Where possible it is ad- visable to feed twice daily rather than once.
 The quantity of waste produced in any town or city varies widely in different years and different seasons of the same year. The number of hogs kept should be increased or decreased 1'th the supply of garbage. A little experience soon enable one to estimate the approximate number which may be kept.
 The best quality of pork is not duced by garbage. For this reason it is usually advisable to feed on grain ration for four or five weeks before siaughtering.
 Trouble in locating pigs is apt to be experienced in Connecticut. Where a sufficient number at one place or even in one county are wanted to justify the shipment of a carload, help can be obtained in getting pigs through the Swine Extension Special fst in the Extension Service of the Connecticut.

I DO NOT FORGET THE COVER CROP
Much Fertility Is Lost By Leaving
 Fields Bare.

Do you remember how we used to set the milk bottles on the rack out of doors the sun could kill the btt = teria? (That iS-We know now that is the reason why we did it. We used tc think it was because it made less of a mess out doors than inside.)
 Do you remember how in the spring or fall the pesky wind w-i-(l blew across the bare fields back of the house gave us the choice of wash ing the bottles or increasing the sol- ids other than milk solids Maybe milk you bought.
 Did you notice the last time you cut the weeds along that fence at the lower end of the South field that the level of the land was nearly up to the top of the fence? Did you have to clean out the ditch alongside that bare field this last spring?
 If you remember these experiences you can appreciate what is going to happen again to this bare field l., winter. You don't need to be told low much fertility you are losing this are poorer year by year.
 This is the time to plug up the leak in the soil fertility barrel. Years ago you didn't worry much about the loss of fertility. It was easily and cheap ly replaced. Next spring it is go- ing to cost real money and if you don't have it you are not going to make money on the farm next year.
 There is still time to get rye on the bare field. Disking it will cost you about $1.00 an acre and the seed about $2.00 more. You can't haul manure to cover that acre for any such amount of money.
 Make you field grow it's own humus. You will have plenty of use for all the manure you can get in addition.

Very" Waller replied lacon-
ically, and proceeded with his
story: "Who saved you from the
business crash? Who, by that act,
virtually made you governor and
actually owned you in all your Of
fetal acts?"
He snapped his fingers and
laughed harshly. His anger was
apparent, a very personal thing.
All, these precious whisky in
terests look far ahead and invest
their money well, don't they, sena-
tor? Who told you to run for the
senate?"
He leaned forward and snapped
his fingers again. He seemed to
want to drive his questions home
to Mallon's mind.

The senator flung himself out of
the room.
She hurried upstairs to the tele-
phone on her desk, but could not
speak to Waller until her father
had finished calling up the Wash
ington newspaper offices with the
request that reporters be sent to
the house at once.
When that was over and Waller
had said he would come to her inn
mediately, she went downstairs
again and found Nellie Kane.

The two women were in the

"Of course" he gave it as his
opinion, cit was just a coincidence
that this announcement was pub

puzzled her.

asked, "what possible motive

ing the story of my engagement to
Mr.. Smith?'

bother him in the slightest way.
Think of what he's doing. Think
of the responsibilities on him this

She contemplated that for a few
moments in silence.
"That is what has bothered me
Sc" she said at last. "Why should
be thrust forward as an annoy
ance to him at such a timef"
Like an answer to her question,
Wales lifted the hangings at the
ooor and announced:
"Mr. Smith"
There was hurry in his stride as
he stepped into the room. 1t was
apparent that he was almost be-
side himself with anger and con-
Germ. The anger, which was vastly
different from Senator Mallon s,
Was still in his face, making his
eyes glow. His face was very pale.
And his physique, which always,
In some strange manner, reflected
his moods as surely as did his feat
ures, was tensed. Waller, watch
ing him, noticed that his chest
seemed deeper, and his arms, held
at a sharper angle from his body,
appeared more easily and more
gracefully swung in their sockets.
1t was as if his body held itself
marvellously ready to carry out
the impulses of his mind.
IL beg your pardon!' he said
abruptly, hating a few steps in
side the room.
"It is too bad!"
Edith said that involuntarily
and held out her hand to him.
What are you doing here!''
Waller made that exclamation
express the full measure of his as
constituent.
Smith came forward and shook
hands with Edith. He paid her all
his attention.
II would not have come-would
not have intruded, believe me-" he
said with quick emphasis, the
strength in his voice somehow ex-
pressing the fact that he felt ev-
erything for her, nothing for him

"Absolutely nothing"
"Surely there must be some
thing-some way in which I could
take it up with the editor, obtain

Waller answered, corrections are

readers with their eggs and cot

smiled warmly. lis it?"
He looked at her steadfastlv.
and Waller saw that he exulted-
as a strong man takes pride in his
strength.
But" Smith reminded her.
there is the question of your
fathers denial of the story"
"Ah-h!"
The three turned toward the
music room. In the doorway stood
Senator Mallon.
"Ah-h!' he repeated, address,
ing Smith. 'STo what, may | ask,
do we owe this-unexpected hon
orr"
His voice was a triumph in
studied i%nsolence.
Cholliewollie stepped to Edith s
side.
eff you will leave U.S., Miss NAL
Ion, for a moment" he said in a
low tone.
"Would it be best?" she asked,
whispering the question.
Much" he answered.
She turned and went out
through the door leading into the
hall.
Mallon came farther into the
room, his star still fixed on Smith.

"to what we owe this visit from
you?"
cit was not a visit to you,"
Smith answered him cody.

self-control.

seem So" he said quietly, ''but
this was an affair in which Miss
Mallon' S peace of mind was threat
ened. And, since that was true,
nothing could have kept me
away" He took a step swiftly to-
ward the senator. ct seems to me
only fair, Senator Mallon," he
said, "for you to let me know why
you have assumed this attitude to-
ward me, why you are so bitter"
"You, yourself, are the answer
to your own question:" Mallon re
piled.
He lit a cigar and. tried to look
at Smith in real contempt. Some
how, he failed in that.
"Now," he ordered, "get out of
my honse-and stay out!''
Smith regarded hi mwith an ex-
preston like pity.
"You will not tell me why?" he
asked again.
"Oh, yes" the older man re-
sponded with elaborate careless
ness, "if you want to know. l

Cholliewollie stepped between
the two men and faced Mallon. His
manner was such as it had been

Simpson in the stuffy hotel room.
The drawl had gone from his
voice.
"You see, SENATOR" he said

The senator regarded her with
amazcmcnt as she handed him his
coffee.
"Thc idea of your thinking it
necessary to tell me you re not

is prepostcrons! He's beneath con-

evenly. "At his call thousands

had dropped at his feet-these
things flashed through her mind,
aroused in her a great longing to
protect him, to help him.
II only wish,' she concluded,
looking at her father out of wide,
utterly frank eyes, IL were his

"Then you had that thing
printed!"
His tone was brutal. He struck
the table with his fist, and, as he
did so, his knuckles, grazing the
saucer, tipped it over suddenly,
throwing the cup of coffee clear of
the table and to the floor. Wales,
hearing the noise, came into the
room.
"Get QUIT" Mallon Numbered
at him, causing his instant retreat.
The senator's eyes we're bulg-
