Several weeks later Lynn dropped
into Sen Aru's shop for the promised
cup of tea and the story OF the Koson
mirror.
Sen Aru's onyx eyes became points
OF glitterlng light as he poured the
tea and served little rice cakes to his
friend.
The story OF the Koson mirror was
q short one.
"Koson was young man, son Of
the Samursi; Of noble birth, but quite
poor in this worlds goods. He loved
the daughter OF a prince and, al
though there was no parental oppo-
sition TO their marriage, the girl was
ambitious and favored a man OF great
wealth; so, in spite OF her love for
the poor youth, she went about her
preparations for her marriage to the
rich man.
"Roson wished to send her a wed.
ding gift and, possessing this ancient
mirror, he set about cleaning IL to
make It At to offer to the bride. The
mirror was dull and unpublished, and
there were spots of rust upon II. But
Koson worked night and day upon
the mirror, rubbing and polishing It
with the greatest labor and nicely,
all the while his heart wrung with
anguish for his lost love.
so long did he labor over the mir
ror that II seemed he had impaired
some of his own personality to the
inanimate thing OF steel and ivory.
So often was his sad face bent over
the mirror that 1t verify reflected his
features. All this he did not know.
"A few days before the wedding he
sent his servant with the Koson mir
ror. The next day 1t was rumored
that the bride refused to leave the
mirror; she sat before It hour after
hour. weeping and embracing II and
bewailing her unhappy fate in marry
ing the rich lover.
'Koson was skeptical. but his heart
beat light for the girl he loved, and
two days before the wedding she came
to him weeping, and so they were mar
ried. II Ia said that the mirror of
Koson still holds Its charm to recon
Gle estranged lovers" Sen Aru smiled
mystically.
Lynn looked sharply at the Japa-
nese.
rs that why you recommended the
mirror to met" he asked quietly.
IT makes handsome wedding pres

are pleased with II"
1T lie very beautiful, but it would be
awkward IL 1t worked any magic in
this case" laughed Lynn uncomfort-
ably. You see. the lady in the case
loves her husband to be-"
Only the gods understand" re-
turned Sen Aru gravely.
Lynn's wedding gift reached Ruth
Chisholm ten days before the drte set
for the wedding. She opened the soft
wrappings Of red tissue paper, her
fingers trembling, for she knew that
Lynn had sent her something from
the Orient
At last she reached the inner box

for disease He found very little trouble
and remarked upon the fine appearance
of the crop in this county. Parties from
Long Island, here this week looking up
seed for next year, stated that potatoes
in this section were the best they had
seen and are endeavoring to obtain a few
carloads for seed. If you expect to have
good seed for sale, communicate with the

GROWTH OF CHEESE MAKING
Twelve New Factories Established In
West-Big improvement Seen
In Milk Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricuiture1
Work to develop cheese manufac-
ture in the Western states, begun in
July, 1916, has resulted In 10 new
cheese factories, says the annual re-
port Of the Bureau OF Animal Indus
try. United States department Of agri-
culture. Improvement of the milk sup
ply produced a better quality OF cheese
and greater yields. One factory re-
ported that the improvement Of the
milk supply alone increased the net
income Of cheese at least 5000 year.
Possibilities for expansion OF cheese
work in the West are said to be al
most limitIess. but no effort is being
made TO encourage the establishment
OF factories where there are not cows
enough or where other circumstances
prevent successful operations.

Shelled corn is not easily graded
and all seed corn should therefore be
looked over cnrefully before the ears
are shelIed. The grading is done to
secure uniformity Of size and shape
in each lot Of kernels. so that they VIII
be dropped evenly from the compliant
er when It Is set for special lots OF
seed.
II the seed ears vary as to size or
kernel they should be separated into
two or three grades, according to tine
type Of grain they bear. These grades
should be shelled separately-always
by hand and not by mechanical she'll
er-and then tested in the corn plant
or After finding the numbers on the
planter plates which drop the kernels
most uniformly, each lot should be
numbered with corresponding figures.
All this should be done when work Is
slack in the winter and before the
spring rush begins.
Be sure there Is enough for two
years planting. You may need it your
self IL the first planting is drowned
out; and there never was time when
there was not a demand for seed corn
