The Future.

The worst is yet to come,
So wall the doubters glum.
But here's the better view:
MY best I've yet to do"
The worst some always fear,
Tomorrow holds no cheer,
Yet farther on life's lane
Are joys you shall attain.
Go forward bravely then
And play your part as men,
For this is ever true:
"Our best we've yet to do"

the potatoes should be soaked imme-.

so little trouble TO soak potatoes In
this solution that il Is utterly foolish

PRUNE BEFORE BUDS SWELL

Make all cuts close up so that no
stubs are left 10 die and start decay

wound is made, II It is more than three
quarters of an inch across, be sure to
give it good coat Of paint, or Of melt

Cut all dead or injured wood for "A
start and then remove some Of the
tangled crossing branches in the cen

give fruit of better color on the shady

GRADUAL CHANGE IN FEEDING
When Turning Cows on Fresh Pasture
Grain Supply Should Be Contn-

The practical dairyman has learned
that any radical change in the winter
feed of his cows should be made grad

He is most likely to overlook the eff
tects of turning his cows out to the
fresh spring pastures.
Experiments which the Missouri col
lege Of agriculture has conducted have
shown that a sudden change to pas
ture in the spring is likely to cause
the cows to be underfed for several
days. These fresh pastures are sue
culent their water content Is very
high. and the cows are not accustomed
to depend on their own activity for the
food necessary for their milk One of

cult to raise this flow after 1t has once
dropped, especially If it has been some
time since the animals have freshened.
This underfeeding will also affect the
composition of the butterfat.
II Is important that all changes of
feed of dairy cows, including the
change to fresh pasture should be made
gradually, and good milk-producing an
finals should be fed some grain In adj
dition to the pasture. This will pre-
vent the possibility of undertaking
The grain feeding should be continued
at least until the pastures become ma

to Craze for their food.

SECRET SERVICE MEN
Believe Arrest of Welch
Will Disclose Chan

New York. Nov 1.-Channels through
which Sim Feiners i'll Ireland have been
communicating with the agents in the
United States have been disclosed secret
service officers believe, through the ar
rest of Thomas Welsh. a British sub
Ject, who waived examination today on
a charge OF violating the trading with
the enemy act when arraigned before a
United States commissioner.
That Welsh is identified with Sim Fein
propa ganda was learn 4 through a let
ter which he attempted to destroy when
arrested, according to an assistant Unit
ed States district attorney Welsh came
10 the United States aboard a steamer
which arrived here Sunday, having ship
ped as member of its crew. The let
ter which Welsh sought TO destroy when
taken into custody at the ships pier,
has been pieced together, and federal au-
thorites say 1t contains valuable infor-
nation relative to Sim Fein activities
both in Ireland and the United States
According to William J. Flynn. chief OF
the secret service. the communication
mentions General Liam Mellowes. Sim
Fein leader, who was arrested in this
city October 20. and Patrick McCarton,
an associate OF Meliowes. who was TAX
en- off a ship at Halifax about the same
time. Each had sailed under a fraudu-
lent seaman's passport. and both are
now being held for this infra action of
the law pending Investigations that are
under way.
According to Chief Flynn. the informa-
ton resulting from welshs arrest will
be Of great value to authorities investi-
eating Sim .Fein plots "on the other
side as weil as to those tracing the
supposed connection Of number Of Am
erican residents with these intrigues.
Although Welsh is now held in the
Tombs in default of $500 bail. federal au-
thorities tonight declared "other cour.
action" probably would be taken tomor-
row in connection with his arrest.
