lie is well enough to go home and l

l wonder if other women or men

morning all that has passed seems
quite like a dream and 1 am now
waiting for the reality to come, to

It seems to me now, little book, as
though nothing melodramatic can
again come into my life. Truly l
sometimes think l am like the SALIVA

To me life has been as vivid as that
wonderful flower, and I have accept

saliva lifts its crimson head to the
sun, all the while knowing that the
end is near and it must sUccUmb.

MS RESPONSIBILITY
Stuart and Jim Edie are both fond of
saying. But l have definitely decided
upon one thing, and that is, that if in
the future I have no children of my
own I must teach other women's
children. 1t seems to me that only
by education of children-bOth boys
and girls-can we pass on to the
next generation some Of the benefits
Of our experience in life.
There was I, Marjorie WaVerly,
who had earned her own living and
who thought she knew Ife-indeed,
little book, / was surer I knew all
that life could give me when l was
married than l am nOw-nOW I know
that l was married knowing nothing
about marriage.
BHndly l have gone on my way
and l presume other women do the
same stumbling through the dark,

finding it not, for he, too, poor fell
low, knew as little as I about the
partnership into which he had en-
tered.
have tried, little book, to be a
good wife to Dick. If I have failed
it has been because I did not know.
Now l am going back with a real
knowledge that marriage is a series
Of compromise far from perfect
state, but l am going to try and be
happy-and l think l can make Dick
happy.
You see, little book, I know him
better now than he knows himself.
l know his weaknesses and oh, I hope
l know my own. I have never pray
ed since that awful time at the birth
Of my baby, but oh, God, I want to
be happy, want to make those about
me happy. It is such a little thing.
Surely you can give this boon to the
new Margie WaverIy.

WINTERING BEES.

In order to winter bees successfully
1t is often necessary to supply food for
the colonies, asserts George A. Dean,
professor Of entomology In the Kansas
State Agricultural college
For supplying winter stores it is
best to make a thick sirup-two and
one-quarter or two and one-half parts
Of sugar to one part of water is pre-
ferable. In order to prevent granula-
ton Of sugar in the thick strip, it is
inverted by the addition of teaspoon
full Of tartaric acid to twenty pounds
OF sugar while the strip is being heated
to dissolve the crystals In the late
fall sirup should be fed as rapidly as
the bees take the strip. In making the
strip one should take great care not
to scOrch the sugar. 1t should be as
clear as if it were made with cold wa
ter.
For spring feeding a thin strip may
be used even as dilute in proportions Of
one part Of sugar to nine parts of wa
ter. As rule, however, equal parts
of each are used. Do not feed glucose
or other cheap grades of sirups or mo-
losses, especially for winter stores, as
they contain substances. indigestible to
bees, causing dysentery.
TN case honey is fed the bees do not
use honey from an unknown source be-
cause Of danger of introducing disease.
Some beekeepers believe it is cheaper
to feed sugar strip because of a higher
market value Of honey. Extracted hon
ey should be diluted somewhat. 1t is
perhaps better plan to feed honey
combs"

THRIFT ON THE FARM.

Fair Indication Is the Method EN-
pIoyed In Caring For Tools.
A fair indication Of the Thrift and
general prosperity Of farmer Is the
method he employs In caring for his
tools, according to DR.. ]. D. Walters,
professor of architecture In the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
"Shiftiessness, waste, lack OF energy.
constant buying and heavy burdens of
debt will accompany poor care" said
DR.. Walters. Good care is an indica-
ton Of shrewdness, business ability,
long lived machinery, comfortable
bank balances and assurances of a
peaceful, prosperous future.
"The machine shed Is seldom used
for any other purpose than to shelter
machinery, and the cheapest structure
that Is consistent with reasonable du-
rability is the one to construct A
wooden building will answer most re-
quirements.
Plans for the implement shed win
be governed by the number and size OF
the machines and the amount of space
that each will occupy. The arrange
ment of the machines should be such
that they will be easily accessible in
seasons when they are needed most.
The binders should be given place in
far corner, leaving a space near the
door for the mower and the plows.
The manure spreader, the wagons and
the buggies should be accessible.
Many opportunities for economy in
space can easily be found. A binder
platform, for instance, may be raised
up, provided some OF the rail Stats with
the attached arms are removed. and In
this space beneath the platform can be
stored such Implements as hand drills
and walking plows.
@The construction Of machine shed
Is simple. Since the building is not sub
jected to any heavy load, the framing
may be just sufficiently strong to hold
the wall and roof covering and to pre-
vent collapse from wind or snow and
ice loads. The studs or posts may be
2 by 4 or by 4, no heavier stock being
necessary.
'The roof may be Of almost any
style, from the simple single pitch shed
roof to the ordinary gable roof. but in
any case the pitch should not be less
than 20 degrees. Wide doors are an.
absolute necessity. A twelve foot slid
ing door is large enough for the ma
jority of farm implements, even allow
ing the binder and rake to enter. To
keep the structure from sagging at the
doorway a strong Intel should be
placed at this point"

VALUE OF GOOD SEED.

Citations From Ancient Roman Writers
on Value Of Selection.
At this season of the year every
farmer should know to what he will
seed each field and have on hand seed
for that purpose or know definitely
where he can get the particular kind,
quantity and quality hefequires, writes
]. d. O'Donnell. supervisor of irriga-
ton, In the Reclamation Record.
1t might do US good to go back into
history and know what Cato and Varro
Of ancient Rome had to say about seed.
In their writings we find such para
graphs as these:
Seed should be examined to ascer-
tain that it is not sterile by age. that it
Is clean and particularly that it is not
adulterated with other varieties of sim
liar appearances"
Il have seen those seeds on whose
selection much time and labor have
been spent nevertheless degenerate If
men do not each year vigorously sepa-
rate BY hand the largest specimens
Our modern campaigns in favor of
seed selection do not appear to be any
thing new; nevertheless these cam
paigns are greatly needed and do much
good.
For the good of the American farmer
We should have legislation penalizing
the planting OF foul and diseased seed.
The harm does not fall alone on the
farmer guilty of such practice. The
pests and diseases so propa gated spread
through the agencies of wind and irri-
cation water to the fields Of neighbors
who have perhaps spent much time and
money in attempting to grow pure
strains Of various field crops. The
spreading of plant pests and plant dis
eases is just as reprehensible as is the
spreading of animal pests and diseases.
and it should be SO recognized and
punished
There are certain strains of all field
crops which are particularly suited to
certain localities. These certain strains
should be ascertained, and entire COM
munities should lean strongly to the
production of these strains uhadulter-
ated by other strains or weed and in
sect pests.
Every neighborhood has Its farmer
who has acquired the reputation of
producing crops which are readily
bought by his neighbors for seed. En-
tire communities can enter into such
work better than an individual. The
Individual is compelled to struggle
against the fouling of his fields through
the carelessness of his neighbors.
Do not decide that good seed pays
and then fail to act. Get busy; get
seed you know is clean and high In
termination. Good seed win not likely
get cheaper between now and seeding
time. Be prepared.

WINTERING LIVE STOCK.
Housing In Open Sheds, Found to Be-
Advertisements

Housing In Open Sheds. Found to "a
Advantageous.
An experiment conducted for sew
eral years at the Pennsylvania expert
ment station at State college, to study
the effect of housing dairy animals I'M
der open sheds as compared with hous-
ing them in the ordinary closed barn,
has included the following general
lines: a. The food requirements under
both conditions Of housing; (2) the
milk yield under both conditions; (8)
the effect upon the health Of the COW ;
"a the bedding required under each
system; 90 the difference In the bac-
terial content of milk.
From the data secured by this expert
ment it appears that cows kept under
the open shed have keener appetites
and consume more roughage than those
kept In stables. The milk yield Of the
outside group in the experiment de-
creased more rapidly than that Of the
inside group. In the long run there
was little appreciable difference be-
tween the two groups in total yield Of
milk, butter fat and total solids, these
differences being SO small as to be with
in the range Of error due to the indi-
viduality Of the animals used, the skill
Of the feeder, and variation In the COM
position of the several feeds,
The bedding question may be sum
med up with the statement that. the
outside COWS required more bedding,
but less labor was required to move it
than in the case Of the inside COWS.
Animals housed in the open shed are
less susceptible to disease, such as tu-
berculosis, than those kept In stables.
Precautions should be taken in hous-
ing animals In an open shed, to protect
them from drafts; in other words, the
shed should be tight except on the
open side.

WORK OF THE INSECT ENEMY.

caterpillar The larva attacks both the
tender sprouts of the trees and the
fruit, causing serious losses. Its pres.
ence can best be determined In most
cases by the appearance OF injured
trees. 1t bores into practically every
tender twig and causes new shoots to
push out from lateral buds. These are
attacked in turn, the abnormal stimu-
lation of lateral growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A
copious flow Of gum from the twig
ends often follows the attacks of the
caterpillars.
The larYa also attacks the fruit. gem
orally eating its way through the skin
at or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem.
The fact that the insect feeds upon
the tender twig ends makes its de-
struction difficult since poison sprays
cover the rapidly growing shoots for
only brief period after application.
The bureau is attempting to work out
methods by which the pest can be con-
trolled.
