HENS RECOMMENDED
BY COUNTY AGENTS
Less Done for Development Of
Poultry Industry Than for Any
Other Farm Stock.

The poultry committee Of the recent
farm bureau conference at University
farm, st. Paul, believes that more work
for the development Of the poultry In
dustry is needed, because:
Considering Its importance, less has
been done for 1t than for any other
live stock industry, by farm bureaus.
Poultry production costs no more
per pound than the production of
other kinds Of live stock, yet the meat
sells at a much higher rate.
The committee, moreover, believes
that the farm flock should be encour-
aged rather than the large specialized
poultry enterprise; that poultry work
is especially adapted to boys and girls
club work, and that farm bureaus In
encouraging the work should not over
look the development Of the co-opera-
tive marketing of eggs through local
creameries, or assistance for poultry
shows and associations.

The acreage of sweet potatoes
should be doubled this year. assert
members of the department of horticul-
ture In the Kansas State Agricultural
college. Growers Of Irish potatoes
have reduced their acreage by good
many acres, they point out.
1t is not expected. warn the horti-
culturists, that the inexperienced
grower will make a plunge this year,
but II each grower and farmer living
on suitable land will increase his acre
age, however little, much may be done
to eQualize potato prices this fall and
winter. Every indication is for prices
high enough to insure profit.
Each grower should provide himself
with some sort of warm. dry storage
facilities. The prices Of farm prod
ucts ut harvest time, when the major
lty Of farmers sell, Is always low. A
storage for any product may easily
pay for itself the first year.

CHAPTER TX.
Lcnaorlo Makes Bold.

At La Feria Alaire discovered that
the federal depredations had been even
greater than she had feared. Not only
a the soldiers taken great many
Waof cattle, but they had practically
cleared the ranch Of horses, leaving
scarcely enough with which to carry
on the work.
Life In the roomy, fortresslike adobe
house was pleasant enough. Alaire
welcomed the change In her daily life.
Everything about La Feria was rest
.ully un-American, from the house It.
self. with Its bare walls and floors, Its
brilliantly Towering patio. and Its
primitive kitchen arrangements, to the
black-shawled, barefooted Indian wom-
en- and their naked children rolling In
the dust. Even the timberless noun
tains that rose sheer from the west
ward plain into tumbling purple
shadowed rampant were Mexican. La
FerIa was several miles from the rail-
road; therefore 1t could not have been
more foreign had 1t lain In the very
heart Of Mexico rather than near the
Horthern boundary.
In such surroundings, and In spite Of
faint misgivings, It was not strange
hat. after few days, Alaire's unhap-
,iness assumed vaguely impersonal
luality and that her life. for the mo-
,nent. seemed not to be her own. Even

order for the release Of Juan Garcia.
"The salvo conducto which will permit
Juan and his Inez and their Juanito to
return to their farm Is being made
out" he explained. "Are you salts
fied?"
Alaire looked up wonderingly. II am
deeply grateful. You overwhelm me.
You area strange man."
Dear lady, live to serve you. Your
wish is my law. How can l prove ii
further?"
The strained, throbbing silence that
followed Longorio's last words did
more to frighten the woman than had
his most ardent advances. He would
have fingered indefinitely over the
table, but Alaire soon rose to go, ex.
planning:
Il must finish my disagreeable task
now, so that can go home tomorrow"
Tomorrow her host cried In dis
may. "No, no! You must wait"
"My husband Is expecting me-"
This statement was a blow; II
seemed to crush Longorio, who could
only look his keen distress.
As they stepped out into the street,
In the gutter stood Inez Garcia with
her baby in her arms, and beside her
the ragged figure Of a young man,
evidently her Juan. The fellow was
emaciated, his face was gaunt and
worn and frightened, his feet were
bare even Of sandals, the huge peaked
straw hat which he clutched over his
breast was tattered, and yet In his eye
there was light.
They had waited patiently, these
Garcias. heedful of Longorios orders,
and now they burst into a torrent Of
thanks. They flung themselves to
their knees and kissed the edge Of
Alaire's dress. General Longorio en-
joyed this scene tremendously, and his
beaming eyes expressed the hope that
Alaire was fully satisfied with the mo-
ment.
"They look very poor" said Alaire,
and opened her purse; but Longorio
would not permit her to give. Extract
Ing large roll Of paper money from
his own pocket, he tossed 1t, without
counting, to Juan, and then when the
onlookers applauded, he loudly called
to one Of his officers, saying:
"Oiga! Give these good friends of
mine two horses, and see that they are
well cared for. Now, JUAN" he adj
dressed the dazed countryman, II have
one order for you: Every night of your
life you and your pretty wife must say
a prayer for the safety and happiness
of this beautiful lady who has induced
me to spare you. Do you promise ?"
"We promisel" eagerly cried the
pair.
Good! See that you keep your
word. On the day that you forget for
the first time Luis Longorio will come
to see you. And then what" He
scowled at them fiercely.
1--WE will not forget" the Garcias
chorused.

II there is a good spring or creek,
safe and clean, on the farm, or flow
Ing well below which little slope may
be found, together with an oversupply
Of water from the well, 1t is not hard
matter to put In an equipment for run
ming water for the house, barns and
other farm buildings by the use of a
hydraulic ram.
In installing a farmhouse water
supply, any hand pump of force type
may be used. Since so much more
water Is used through faucet than
from pail, having TO pump by hand,
usually puts the veto on house sys-
TEN depending on hand pumping. A
gas engine or windmill will also work
In any system, pumping air or water,
or both.
But In the case Of spring. creek or
overflow well water, a hydraulic ram
Is well worth consideration. A ram

new crop Of sweet clover, unlike that
Of red clover and alfalfa, must come
from the buds left on the stubble, so
when the plants are cut below these
buds they will be killed. As sweet
clover is a biennial, the plants die as
soon as the seed crop is produced.
When the first years growth of
sweet clover is turned under for green
manure 1t Is recommended that the
field be plowed after the plants have
made some growth the following spring
rather than In the fall of the year of
seeding. When the first years growth
Is plowed under the same fall many of
the plants will not be entirely covered,
and these will make vigorous growth
the following spring. When the plow-
ing is delayed until the plants have
made some growth the following spring
no trouble will be experienced In eradi-
eating them.

"She says that her husband is to

"yery likely! Our prisons are full.
Doubtless he Is bad man."

Many gardeners and growers are be-
ginning to worry about injury to trade
because of garden enthusiasm In small
towns. This will be true to great
extent only as to the early vegetables,
say horticulturists. Very few office
people and laborers care to get out
early In the morning or late at night
during July or August. 1t must also
be remembered that vacations are
taken from June to September and
during the vacation weeds grow rap
idly. To Offset the vegetables grown
at home, moreover, is the determina-
ton Of each family to can fruits and
vegetables in the home more than ever
before. This will increase demand.
This year promises shortage In
many sorts Of fruits. Because of the
high prices during the past year much
attention will be given during the
present season to home canning and
preserving.

became indlstinct and unreal. Then
all too soon she realized that the pur-
pose Of her visit was accomplished.
and that she had no excuse for re-
naming longer. She was now armed
with sufficient facts to make definite
demand upon the federal government.
The homeward journey was a rep
etition Of the journey out. Jose, as
before, was newsgatherer. Hour after
hour they crept toward the border, un-
til at last they were again laid out on
siding for an indefinite wait.
The occasion for this was made plain
when an engine drawing single ca
boose appeared. Even before 1t had
come to pause, a tall figure in spot
less uniform leaped to the ground and
strobe to the waiting coaches. It was
Luis Longorio. He waved a signal to
the conductor, then swung aboard the
north-bound train.
The general was all smiles as he
came down the aisle, and bowed low
over Alaire's hand.
Dolores gasped and stiffened In her
seat like a woman Of stone.

Some farmers hesitate to plant

they will have difficulty in eradicatlng
it when the fields are planted to other
crops. The results obtained annually
by hundreds of farmers are sufficient
proof that there Is no foundation for
such fear; in fact, farmers are expert
