And now, as if that were not enough,
there was talk of an alliance with
| Karnia, an alliance which, carried
through, would destroy the hope Of a
republic.
The countess stared.
"The price Of the alliance, madame,
is the Princess Hedwig in marriage.
The committee, which knows all
things, believes that you have reason
to dislike this marriage"
Save that she clutched her cloak
more closely, the countess made no
move. But there was soft stir among
the figures. Perhaps, after all, the
committee as whole did not know all
| things.
ITO prevent this alliance, madame,
is our first aim. There are others to
| follow. But"-he bent forward-"the
king will not live many days. It is
our hope that that marriage will not
occur before his death"
BY this time Olga Loschek knew
very well where she stood. The COM
mittee was propitiatory. She was not

He will not support Livonia until he
has received his price. He is de-

"a marriage of expediency," said
the countess impatiently.
The speaker for the committee
shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps" he
replied. although there are those of
us who think that in this matter of
expediency, Karl gives more than he
receives.
"The matter lies thus, madame. The
chancellor is now in Karnia. Doubt
less he will return with the agreement
signed. We shall learn that in a day
or so. We do not approve Of this
alliance for various reasons, and we
intend to take steps to prevent it.
The paper itself is nothing. But
plainly, countess, we need friend in

fidence Of the royal family"

eyes, madame. But that is not all.
Let me tell you briefly how things
stand with us. We have, supporting
us, certain bodies, workingmen's
guilds, a part of the student body, not
so much of the army as we would
wish. Dissatisfied folk, madame, who
would exchange the emblem of
tyranny for freedom. On the an
nouncement of the kings death, in
every part Of the kingdom will go up
the cry of liberty. But the movement
must start bere. The city must rise
against the throne. And against that
there are two obstacles" He paused.
The clock licked, and water dripped
into the tin pail with metallic splashes.

IL you were a princess and
loved a brave soldier, who, bound
by tradition and loyalty to his
king, dared not speak the words
which crowded to his lips, what
would you do? Hedwig faced
this problem and was forced to
make a decision. The next In

HOMEGROWN PROTEIN FEEDS
StocI<men Should Plan to Produce an
Adequate Supply of Leguminous
Crops This Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Clovers, alfalfa, soy beans, cowpeas
and vetches can be profitably produced
on every live stock farm in the country
and it is of great Importance that an
adequate supply be grown this year
to furnish feed for live stock. These
leguminous crops are comparatively
rich in protein. The recent prices Of
feeds which are rich in protein have
been so high as to prey vitality on the
net profits which otherwise would have
accrued to the producers of live stock.
Varieties of seed of the crops men
toned have been acclimated and rem
aered practical for production in near
ly every section. The man who is I'M
able to raise clovers, vetch or alfalfa
on his farm, can resort to soy beans
and cOwpeas. The latter crops can be
grown for either concentrates or rough
age use and as such enable the stock
man to prepare well-balanced ration
Of homegrown feeds which contain a
sufficient supply Of protein. They en-

materially and do away to large ex-

homestead are in their usual hibernal
state-frozen stiff; so Lemuel reports,
and adds that he offered to contribute

overcome the deadly, gravelike chill Of
that subterraneous space; and Bill

them to fight it out, impressing on
them, however, that the rent must be
forthcoming just the same"

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

CONSUMPTION OF CORN CROP
Urgent Reason for Increasing Produe.
ton Is Absolute Need Of More
Grain for Food.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Approximately S5 per cent Of the
corn crop of the United States is con.
sumed upon the farm. One and one
half to 21s per cent is exported and
the remainder is used in manufacture
or otherwise consumed. During the
last ten years the demand for corn has
increased and at times the supply has
been inadequate to meet it. This has
led to the importation of corn from
Argentina. While the amount import
ed has reached in some years total
of something more than 100000
bushels, it is so small in comparison
with the production in this country
that corn imports are not an important
factor in the corn trade.
However, this Importation does call
attention to the need of increasing the
corn production in this country. But
a much more urgent reason for in
creasing production is the absolute
need of more food grains in the pres
ent world crisis. In 1917 the acreage
planted to corn was the largest in the
history of the country, nearly 100000
600 acres, and exceeding the 1916 plant
ing by about Is per cent. The produc-
ton is estimated at 3,159, 494 900 BUSH
els, the largest crop ever harvested.
There seems to be every reason to be-
leve that our own welfare and that Of
the allies in the worlds war, as well
as of neutral nations, will make de-
sirable an even greater production of
corn in 1918 on an acreage approx
mately equal to that planted in 1917.

dotte-Leghorn Too Small.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
CaponiZing the surplus cOckerels is
one way of answering the call made by
the United States department Of agri-
culture for greatly increased produc.
ton of poultry and meat. Capons. the
name applied to unsexed male birds,
are to the poultry dealer what fat
steers are. to the beef packer-the
source of the choicest food product of
their kind. Like the steer the capon
has a contented disposition. 1t devel-
ops more uniformly than the cockerels,
and, as it fattens more readily, is larger
at the same age. This coupled with the
fact that the flesh of capons retains the
softness and tenderness of young birds
and is, therefore, of superior quality,
causes them to command better price
on the market.
Since capons must be held and
grown until winter they take up some
room which might be used to better
advantage for laying hens. In such
cases it may be advisable to fatten
the surplus cockerels and sell them as
broilers. Another consideration is
the local market, which must show the
demand for capons.
Best Breeds to caponize.
Large capons bring the best prices,
and it seldom pays to caponize males
of the small breeds, such as Leghorns.
Breeds best adapted for this purpose
are the Plymouth Rock, Brahma, CO.
chin, Cornish, Langshan, and Wyan-
dotte.
Cockerels should be caponized as
soon as they are large enough for the
operation to be performed easily, usu-
ally when they weigh from ~ to 2h
pounds, or when they are from two
to four months old. Cockerels can be
caponized when larger and older than
this, but at such time there is more
danger Of loss Of blood, and extreme
care must be exercised to prevent the
birds from bleeding to death. Capon-
izing is usually done in June, July and
August.
Cockerels to be operated upon must
be confined and given no feed or wa
ter for "a to SO hours. This serves to
empty the intestines and enables the

used for feeding or seeding purposes.
Every farm equipped with gasoline
engine and a small power grinding mill
can readily convert any surplus cow
peas Of soy beans into meal. 1t is es-
sential that these grains be ground in
combination with corn, usually one part
Of beans or peas to three or four parts
Of corn. When ground alone the ex-
cessive oil in the leguminous grains
will cause the mill to gum up.

Making Soap From Table Refuse.

To conserve the fats contained in
the table refuse and dishwater of the
soldiers mess, the British military
authorities installed grease traps, ac-
cording to the Popular Science Month
iy. The fat collected in these traps
averages more than one ounce for
each man daily. The traps consists of
tin-lined wooden box, divided into
two compartments by partition
which does not reach the bottom by
about four inches. The dishwater and
the table refuse are poured through a
strainer into the vat. AS the water
cools the fat form crust on top and
is skinned off.

Use Sharp Knife.

Make the 1nclSiOn with sharp
pointed knife between last two ribs,
but before making the incision pull
the skin down toward the leg. Then
when the operation is over and the
bird is released, the skin slips over
the wound and closes it. Insert the
spreader and enlarge the cut suffi-
GENTLY to allow the introduction of
the testicle remover, but do not cut
too far toward the backbone, or into
the fieshy part of the body wall, as
that will cause profuse bleeding. A
thin membrane will be observed cover
ing the intestines.s This must be torn
with the sharp-pointed hook. The in
testines are then exposed and these are
pushed aside, two small, white, yell
low sometimes dark colored) bodies
will be observed, one on each side Of
the backbone, and close to it. These
are the testicles. Remove these with
the testicle remover, taking the lower
enc first. Persons not expert at ca
ponizing find it impossible to locate
the lower testicle. In this case, the
upper can be removed, the bird turned
over, and the other testicle removed
through an incision on the other side.
care must be observed in removing the
testicles not to prick or rupture the ar
teries which run close to them. Should
this occur, the bird will bleed to death.
Be sure that the entire testicle is re-
moved. If piece is left, the bird
will act and look like cockerel in
stead of capon, and will sell for
less than capon prices. Such a bird
is known as slip. 1t is advisable
for beginner to practice this opera
ton upon dead fowl. The place to
make the incision, the location of the
testicleso etc., can be definitely learned
In this way and confidence gained in
caponizing live birds.
