rich, the thought Of the morrow too

predominant. The sweet-peas were at
the height Of their glory. It was as
though a horde of butterflies had
descended upon the vines during the
night: strange butterflies OF pink INC
purple and ruby-red; all ~iuttering
and swaying ON the gray-green vines.
Adam set about the pleasant task OF
gathering them, and soon forgot
! everything but their fragrance and
beauty, the warmth Of the sun, the
whir of the pigeons wings overhead,
and the golden dream Of Evelyn.
With the end Of the gathering came
full morning. hot, with a threat OF
still greater heat. Woolcraft appear
ed, silently, from some other occupa-
ton, aIbasket on each arm, to pack
the flowers and take them to a
ket. Adam helped him and saw him
off and then, III the full swing Of the
day. bent his back over the budding
Of some potted roses. And as he
worked he sang a little song which a
! Kentucky housemaid had taught him
when he was a child. The wheeling
pigeons and the thought Of flying,
generally, brought it back, and half
Nunconsciously he sang it over and
over, the simple little tune and the
folky words:
Il L "OAO d ~ !
Away to my love I would fly.
I'd fly right over the mountain tops
m the coils Of her hair for to lie.
Careless Love, careless Love
Do come home.
I weep like q willow
And I mourn like a dove,
Careless Love, careless Love, careless
Love!" y
There was q certain rhythm to the
tune which went well with the snip
and caught Pearl standing at the
woodshed door listening, a dish-cloth
suspended In the act Of shaking out.
She was regarding him in a mournful
manner and impulsively he started to
arise from his knees and go to her.
But before he could do SO she> had
fgone in again, and he desisted, resum-
ing his song and cutting Gomorrah out

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
american Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servation Measures.

1t Is probable that Europe for man,
years after the war will look TO 1
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
feplenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle We're appropriated. This ad.
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
nres been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
S17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
417.2S; November and December,
@16.08, and for January, $1440. The
evident intent Of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
p total of 12341 300 as compared with
34,S07 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
OF forage principally, France is pro-
duclng only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministration has taken steps to CON
serve our flocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show disposition
TO cooperate with the government in
this
For many years it has been prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country TO kill male calves at
birth and in many Instances the fe-
males If not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is 70 per cent. of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
In war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Dem
mark under recent order one-fourth
of the hogs were ordered to be killed
1t is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

SEIZURE Of HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of Selling foods utfs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly TO issue official de-
malls Of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandlsts and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 win see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved ere
theirs. and theirs alone.
