Government Takes Most of Stock in Farm Loan
 Bank System Organized

Washington, March 2.-subscription on behalf of the government to Ss,s7s, ,905 of the fs,ooo,oo0 capital stock of the new fed eral land banks was announced Thursday by Secretary McAdoo. The small public subscriptions to the stock, s12o,os5 for all 12 banks, the Secretary said, was neither a surprise nor a disappointment.
 'No special effort was made to secure public subscriptions, he explained, 'the taking of the full amount of stock being assured by the government underwriting. "The fact that the banks were unlikely to pay any dividends on this stock during the first year and that it will ultimately be retired at par naturally made it un- attractive to investors
 The governments share of the s750. .Ooo capital stock of each district follows:
 Springfield, Mass, S39 725 Baltimore, s740, ,220; Columbia, s. C., s74sh590; Louis vile, s742 265; New Orleans. s745.43O; St. Louis, $742075; St. Paul, $744,640; Omaha, s7oS. .265; Wichita, Kan, s743665; Houston. Tex, s735,2S5; Berkeley, Cal, S43ss0; Spo- kane, s744,S55. Officers and directors for about half of the banks have been named and the work of setting up the organi- zation of the new system is well under way.

HER SIIDEs--ANlD HIS
THE GEN TIER MAN
By ZOE BHCKLEY

David felt a touch of aloofness in Cora's manner as she left him She mad carefully tried to avoid words of Of her attempt to hide the depth of her displeasure at David. he guessed her real state of mind. It touched him 10 the quick. Their recent siege of troubles had made her too dear for him to allow her to drift away even for a moment. He overlook her at the door and took her in his arms.
 Whatever lies between Rourke and me, my girl, nothing is coming be- tween you and me" he said.
 Cora smiled absently, trying to make the smile stand for agreement to his words. for which David was looking into her eyes. But the smile did not deceive him. He felt estrangement in her, passivity; saw 1t in her Forced smile.
 He let her go and she left the house It was no momentary pique or dis pleasure he now realized In her It was disappointment she was feeling, all the more deep and genuine be- cause she tried to hide the sense of 1t from him-even from herself
 If she had persisted in active oppo sition David would have more than downed her with his own insistence But this deep-cutting disappointment with him on the part of Cora hurt. Her attitude said as plainly as words:
 T suppose l am asking more than I have right to expect. I am con- fusing the ideal man--the man my innermost self conjures-with the man really before me. l have no right to quarrel simply because the man 1 love is not perfect
 What touched him more than any thing else was that in the days that followed rshe not only tried to hide her disappointment from him but actu- ally to forget it. But as David went ahead with each step of preparation for the islander suit against Rourke he saw that her efforts to hide her disap- pointment from him and from herself became less and less successful He knew then that if he pushed the trial and brought it to conclusion no matter how successful to his claims, he would more than lose in it's effect on Cora.
 David had been accustomed to think that married couples became less sen sitive with time to each others dis approvals. It surprised him and thrilled nm to lind that he wanted Cora's good opinion and pride in him more than ever before. She knew him so much better now and her pride in him now would be so much more soundly based on knowledge than OF the mere wish to believe him good and great.
 But there was no pride of him in Cora's manner these days. Somehow that became the most pressing fact in David's consciousness. He cursed Rourke under his breath for being the cause of that loss of pride in him. His prosecution of the islander trial preparations became more and more lax. Finally one day when Cora was about to slip out of the room on some legitimate pretext he stopped her

Where Love Is, There Also Is the
 Soul Abiding Sure and Steadfast

,C7OHE soul has no life in itself-can-

HHC7T1HE soul has no life in itself-can-
 not be born except in love for
 S others-nor can 1t live, save in self-sacrince"
 So writes the clever author of The Cheerful Blackguard." |" in his interesting story of romance and love on the north western frontier.
 His words are strangely true; the soul less person is he who knows no love: in such a one, there seems nothing tangible by which to hold the nature to high pur- poses.
 Whatever aims or ambitions guide the life, they have their price; only loves knows no price and rises above all temp tation to exchange the great things of life for the gleam of gold
 Bernard Partridge. the cartoonist for Punch" Gondon) recently had in that n:s gazine an effective drawing entitled ''Unconquerable."
 It pictures the Emperor of Germany saying to the King of the Begians:
 50 you see. you've lost everything" to which the latter replies: Not my soul" which is true, for the soul of AL bert, King of the Belgians, is one that will always spell love of country, of peo- pie. of honor: it will always stand for the immortality and unconquerableness of loyei
 Some sensitive, loving, natures seem to be born with souls. but most children and youth boast only innocence and joy: loving comes later-a sweet and fragrant flower of the heart, born in gardens where tears are shed
 It's coming seems to change the whole outlook upon lfe-the whole estimate of self.
 The birth of love seems also to be the birth of fear-not fear for ones self-but for the one beloved. and fears shadow seems ever to rest upon the loving heart; fear that they themselves do not give love enough; fear that their love may not be returned: fear that life Is not giving the cherished one all that is desired or needed; fear that some evil may befall the child or youth, the man or woman thus held supremely dear; fear that dis tance may remove them; fear that suffer- ing or death may lay grim hands upon them, and out of those apprehensions- the soul Is born-the life becomes spir- itualized by self-sacrifice grave to de- fend eager to give. patient to endure
 Yes, where love is. there the soul Is also abiding sure and steadfast!

need only a light silage ration with
alfalfa hay and corn fodder. Some
times a feed of bright straw is relished
by the ewes.
Sheep kept In muddy yards for long
periods are almost sure to get sore
feet. Give them dry footing and there
will be no trouble.
Raising Lambs Profitable.
Select bunch of rugged mutton
shaped" ewes and mate them in the
fall with purebred sire of good form
and fleece. Have the lambs born in
March If there is plenty of good feed
for the ewes and warm shelter for the
lambs. Otherwise the lambs had bet
ter not arrive until later when the
weather is warmer and the ewes can
get some grass to increase their flow
of milk.
Some farmers have the lambs born
in January or February and fatten
them for earlier markets. This neces-
states much care, abundant feed and
warm shelter, but 1t is profitable
business when well managed.
When the lambs are ten days old
they will begin eating grain md hay.
Fix creep for them so they can have
a trough apart from their mothers,
give them some wheat bran and
cracked corn and continue to feed
them all they will eat while on pas
ture, If they are to be fattened and
sold three or four months old. The
best time to sell the lambs is before
they are one year old.
Some good farmers allow the ewes
and lambs to Craze during the sum-
mer with little or no grain, wean the
lambs in August and turn them into
the standing corn. There is no place
where n lamb will fatten faster than
In cornfield eating grass and weeds
and weed seeds and the lower blades of
corn.
Lambs should not be kept on old
pastures that have been grazed by old
er sheep. There Is danger of stom-
ach worms. However, If tobacco dust
or stems are kept before the sheep at
all times, they will not be troubled
with internal parasites.
Three hundred farmers reports give
$3.50 as the average cost for keeping
a eve and lamb, as against $10.15 as
the average return In wool.
Nearly all good sheep men keep a
few of the best ewes each year to add
to the eve flock and take the place of
the older and discarded ewes.

MILKING SHORTHORN
DUAL-PURPOSE cows
Superior to Farmer Who Desires
Good Mess Of Milk Along
With Ability to Fatten.

Milking Shorthorns are identical
with the beef Shorthorn so far as
color is concerned. They vary all the
way from red to white, with numer-
Gus roans. The milking Shorthorn
usually presents the rather rectangu-
lar shape of the beef Shorthorn, but
Is somewhat inclined to be more an
gular.
The milking Shorthorn is superior
or Inferior to the other dairy breeds
accordingly as dairy performance is
of greater or less Importance. The
breed. or more correctly strain, is not
us highly developed as milch ami
NAL as are the specialized dairy
breeds. 1t properly fills the place of
n dual-purpose COW, or a COW for the
farmer who desires good mess of
milk along with ability to fatten
readily and produce a good market
able carcass.
The farm condition under which a
breed must be kept, the market facili-
ties, the likes and dislikes of the
owner, etc. are all factors that de-
termine the desirability or undeslra-
bility of any particular breed. Certain
conditions demand one breed and 9TH
ers are best for another.

any tender green vegetable in a large
amount of water and then throwing
away the water Is most reprehensible
at any time and especially now when
every scrap of food should be con-
served.
The liquid In which the vegetables are
cooked is rich in soluble matters that
are valuable in the body and should
never be thrown away but served
with the vegetable as sauce or add
ed to soup stock.
In cooking any of the succulent
green vegetables. salt should not be
added until they are ready to be sea-
soned. If peas are inclined to lack
sweetness teaspoonful of sugar to a
pint of peas will aid wonderfully in
the flavor of the finished dish. Cook
all vegetables In boiling water and
peas in an open kettle as they keep
their green color better.
For variety one may enjoy some
of the following ways of preparing
peas:
Peas With Braised Carrots.-Put
four tablespoonfuls of butter into a
saucepan with two cupfuls of fresh
ly shelled peas, n bunch of mint, one
peeled onion, half cupful of cream,
well washed crisp head of lettuce,
finely shredded. and a teaspoonful of
sugar cover and cook for twenty min
utes, shaking the pan occasionally
while the contents are cooking. When
the peas are cooked, remove the onion
and mint from the pan, add three egg
yolks that have been beaten with two
tablespoonfuls of cream, pinch of
salt and red pepper, shake until the
contents are well mixed, then dish up
the peas. Cook the carrots shredded
in strings In very little water, add
three tablespoonfuls of butter to the
tender drained carrots and dust with
phprika and fry until golden brown,
then add cupful of stock or the
liquor in which the carrots were
cooked; simmer one hour. Serve with
the peas.

In good farming allow nothing to go
TO wnste.
On many farms every yeer grass and
weeds around buildings. In barn lots.
along fences and roads, In corn or
stubble fields, go to seed and become
waste material. These weeds could be
turned to good account If there was a
bunch OF sheep to eat them.
No farm animal will respond more
readily to care and feed than sheep.
They need but little attention If such
as they reQuirA is given them ut the
right time.
There is q worldwide shortage of
sheep. The consumption of mutton Is
on the increase. The wool supply of
the world Is about exhausted. Fat
lambs and wool bring good figures. Not
on account of the war, but from u
genuine demand of the people. There
is wonderful interest In sheep-growing
everywhere, but the demand for NUT
ton and wool is SO great that producers
cannot meet II. There should be sheep
on every farm.
Sheep need change of pasture.
Turning them from one field into an
other furnishes this change and keeps
the sheep healthy.
Expensive housing is unnecessary.
Warm shelter is essential only when
the lambs are very young. The roof Is
the important part of the sheep
house. Keep the sheep dry during the
winter season and the fleece Will pro-
vide the warmth. A bunch of good
ewes will return good profits. Their re-
Quirements are simple and their re-
turns in fleece and fat lambs will sur
prise you.
There Is no better winter feed for
the ewes than good silage and alfalfa
hay. A good eve will give more milk
for the feed consumed, than will the
best dairy COW. Her lamb will do the
milking, and by converting the milk
into fat lamb, the farmer can get much
more per 100 pounds for the ewes
milk than for the cows, and in addi-
ton, the eve furnishes fleece each
year to sell.
Care should be taken not to feed
sour or moldy silage to sheep. 1t will
kill them. Large ewes raising lambs
can be fed sweet silage up to four or
five pounds per day, after they have
become accustomed to 1t. During the
winter before the lambs arrive, the
ewes, If in good condition at the start,
