die horns and pulled off their outer
clothing. Then after a few minutes
of sparring and invective they closed
in on each other and engaged in a reg

Too tired to fight longer, they re-
treated to their horses and grasped
their rifles. At this juncture an auto
mobile emerged from a turn in the
road and sped toward them, so before
the enraged ranchers could shoot at
each other Alga and Audry had driven
their machine between them.
Audry spoke: you big men are act
ing like a couple of kids. It's the
worst I've ever heard of. Don't you
think it is ridiculous, cOmical
scream? he asked Alga, who had be-
gun to litter. She nodded and laughed
outright, and he Joined in until they
were both cOnvulsed with laughter.
Ruffy and Mclaughlin glowered at
each other sheepishly until their chill
dren quoted down.
Then Audry took Alga by the hand
and said, "She has promised to make
me the happiest man in the world. You
know what that means" Forthwith
he crushed her in his embrace and
kissed her blushing cheeks.
Ruffy and Mclaughlin sidled toward

"HOW!" OF INDIAN ORIGIN
Old Chief Coined Exclamation Used
Universally by Officers of the
Army Before Drinking.

The exclamation, "Howr was first
uttered in an Indian camp in Florida.
On the 9TH of May, 1841, the Seminole
chief, COacOOchee, was at Fort Cum
mings, near Big Cypress swamp, to
confer with Colonel Worth about the
removal of his people.
"On this OCCASION" in the words of
General ROdenbough, Originated the
expression, 'HOugh,' which, as an army
sentiment, has been uttered by count
less lips from the Gulf of Mexico to
the st. Lawrence, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific; and even the banqueting
halls of foreign lands have not been
strangers to the little word so full of
joyous memories to the American SOL
diers, although few knew when, where,
or how it was coined.
"COacoochee, observing that the Of
ficers of the garrison used certain ex-
pressions, such as Here's luckp The
old grudger before drinking, asked
Gopher John, negro interpreter, what
they said. John was puzzled, but final
ly explained by saying, Tt means How
d. ye dor
"Whereupon the chief, with great
dignity, lifted his cup and, elevating it
above his head, exclaimed in a deep
gutteral and triumphant voice.
'HOugh!
The word was at once adopted by
the officers of the Eighth infantry and
Second dragons, and its use spread
rapidly through the whole army"

LATE MATCHED BULLETS.
Care Should Be Taken to Gull Out
 UnprcftabIe Ones.

There never was Q time when pou1-
 try keepers were so badly handicap ped as they art this year with large percentage of late-hatched pull lets which with the best of care; can not be expected to lay eggs before late in December. This condition wae drought about ty the high price of grain last spring when thousands of ing because they feared that there would be a skcrtage of grain which would drive them out of busin ess. Later when the government and appealed to the people of both city and country to raise all the stock pos sible, very large percentage of the poultry keepers with both large and small f1ocks. responded to this cali and matched chickens in late May and June, which from the outset were bound to be unprof1tahIe.
 Having fed these birds for six E;onths, these same poultry keepers do not like to sell them on the mar l1et for 2o cents pound, and they
 arc being held at a great loss iA the hopes that they will develop later oTi into profitable birds. In some cases this is a wise thing to do. In many others it is foolish. Every poultry keeper in order to have a profitable SC ason, must cull his stock as never before. Not only rid himself of every bullet that is inferior in health and Vigor or under size but also divide his flocks into two or three lots de- pending upon their ages, so that the chance to develop. Persons who fol- low the practice of keeping all Of their birds in one pen and have watched at various intervals through the spring and early summer are bound to make a failure of their bus mess this winter if the younger pull lets are not put in a pen by them selves and given special care. If the n q SS fIn1 I.o- cause of lack of space. it will be far more profitable to dispose of all birds that are below the medium and larg- est size of the flock Small bullets in rcrtunity to cat dry mash of good quality all day long with generous feeds of grain both morning and night are likely to develop very rapidly, if cold weather holds off another month, and during the late winter and early spring will probably lay enough eggs to pay for their keeping and give small profit. They can never be suf- rG them after they stop laying next summer and for that reason should always be kept separately or so marked that they can be easily dis no longer lay eggs. good dry mash for bullets which are still growing may contain two parts by weight of
 hcminy. schumacher's feed. gluten,
 
 scraps and one-balf part of Iinseed oil meal. The present high price of corn makes it desirable to feed large percentage of corn products in the dry mash, ration with d very small per cent in the scratch grain. There
 is on the market today a proS:.lct known as pitched or frosted wEezt which is recommended by all the ex- pertinent staticns of New England as of feeding value nearly equal to wheat of the first grade. This can be obtained at a price much lower than corn and a ration consisting of four
 rarts of pfnched wheat, two parts Of oats and ore of corn will give good results.

SMALL FRUITS.

Here in the north we prefer to Irune grape-vines in February or early March. but in milder climates late fall or early winter may be all right. . Ideal lnulching materials - clean straw and marsh hay.
 The right time to mulch the straw berry bed is immediately after the ground freezes.
 Mary says that Q good knock will sometimes jar a strawberry bed out Iiof had rut- l hope she isn't refer ring to a few-just a tiny few-Iate weeds in mine. I meant to hoe 'em out next week, anyway.
 How to make grape. currant or ether cuttings: After the leaves fall, select well-ripered shoots of this sea lengths about. six inches long. each containing two or more buds. Cut lkem square off, just below bud, so tho roots will start out all around the end: have at least one bud be- low ground and one above. Tie into handles and pack in sawdust or sand in the cellar until planting time in the spring.
 There isn't much to do in the fruit go down cellar and see the shelves full of canned sweetness that Mary
 has put up, I have a genuine thankful
 feeling in every stomach I've got. To-
 day I went down cellar four times just to look these blessed cans souare1y in the face.
 In very cold climates some tender
 varieties of raspberries, blacl1berr1es, etc, need covering. This is done by
 bending the canes to the ground and
 covering them with three or fob:
 inches of soil. A warm day is E.ss.
 for this work, as the canes then bend
 more easily. If the canes are so stiff as to break when bent over, a little
 soil should be removed from the base
 Of the plant on the side toward which
 it is to be laid. To avoid comp1ica-
 tions in uncovering in the spring, lay
 all the canes in the same direction.
 Some growers use sticks to peg the
 canes in place before the soil Ee
 SEoveied on them.

LESS GRAIN FOR LIVESTOCK.
Roots or Forage Crops Can Be Made
 to lake It's Place.


 It is time to do away with extrav- agance in feeding grain to stock. The fact that grain is commanding enor- nous prices is sufficient reason why its use should be limited. Profita ble production of meat and economical wiutering of breeding animals without the necessity or a large amount of grain in the raIIon is an added reason why it's use should be curtailed.
 In the dairy barn. roots, or forage crops such as alfalfa, clover, soy beans and cow-Peas, may partly take the place of grain. The best feed to use as a partial substitute for grain Is si1age. For all practical purposes, a balanced ration for an average COW giving fifteen to eighteen pounds of milk Is about fourteen pounds of all felfa hay and thirty five pounds of for that production A pound of cot tonseed meal fed on the silage will furnish the neces sary protein A COW producing more than eighteen pounds of milk will need grain, the amount depending on the quantity of milk.
 In the feed lots the most economical gains on steers and Iambs are se- cured when silage and alfalfa or clover hay are Used largely in the ra- tion. Swine being fitted for market can not consume any large amount of roughage, but broad sows relish al- falfa hay, and it's use insures strong, healthy filters. Fillies and weanliag ly, while mares in foal may be win tered on that ration alone. Breed ing ewes that enter the winter in good shape can be carried until laIt b. ing time without grain, provided they have a good supply of well-cured all

 Those adult insects which live through the winter may be the par.
 The squash bug hibernates among cid squash vines, leaves, and rubbish on the ground. One. can find them
 looking closely. On cold days or carly in the morning they are quiet but become active as the temperature rises. Next spring these will be ready to start families of small but vora-

Many other insects pass tho winter in a similar manner. To reduce their numbers for next year collect and destroy all crop rem, leaves squash, potato, and tomato vines and silks. The garden should have thorough cleaning in the fall. fcod in the garden litter, it can be added to the compost heap.
 There is another group of insects which may be successfully fought at tliis season. White grubs, wire worms, cut worms, and other notor. ious garden pests pass the winter in the ground. Fall blowing will kill many of these so that there will be fewer alive in the spring to start their destructive work on the garden plants. Some will be crushed by the blow while many will be thrown out on the surface where the changing weather conditions may kill them or where they can be attacked easily by their r.atural enemies, such as insects, birds and other animals. Where fall blow ing does not interefere with cultiva- tion methods it can be made an i'm = portant factor in the battle against these any many other insects.-J. A. Manter.

WAR TRADE BOARD HAS
 RELEASED DUTCH STEAMER
1t Will Carry Packages for HelIane
 and Corn for Belgium.

Washington. Nov. 6.-An early agreement between the United States and Holland on the disposal of Dutch tonnage in American ports was seen here today in the release by the war trade board of the Dutch steamer Nieuw Amsterdam for 8 return trip across the Atlantic.
 The vessel will leave an American port shortly. carrying a cargo of pack age freight for Holland, ten thousand tons of corn for Belgian relief and several hundred Dutch refugees as passengers. Wire cable badly needed for the operation of Dutch coal mines
 Licenses for the Nieuw Amster- dams cargo were held up by the American authorities when the Dutch government refused, to give assur- ances that she would not be interned for safety as soon as she reached the other side. In the negotiations that followed the American government refused to recede from its position and finally the Dutch yielded.
 A final agreenent as to the opera in America was believed to be in sight. The principal clauses of this agree ment, it is reported, will provide that a large number of Dutch ships enter the American coastwise trade to re- lease American vessels for overseas service; that part of the tonnage be placed in trade to the Dutch East In- dies for the benefit of Holland, and the allies and that limited number ct ships be permitted to ply between America and Holland, carrying car goes to be approved by the war trade board.
 Refugees who will sail on the Nieuw Amsterdam have gathered in the United States from, many ends of the earth. Some came from the Dutch Hast Indies and many from the Ori- ent. All have been awaiting an op- portunity to reach Holland safely.
