A CURIOUS custom prevails in
n Florence at Easter in the flight
of the Dove. Its origin Is OBJ
scure, but the Rev S. Barring
Gould, who has we'll described it in
his in TrOubadour Land" says that
1t is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of a FlOrentine knight. who,
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
BOuillon, was the first to climb the
walls of Jerusalem and set dpOn them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news OF the re-
covery of the Holy Sepulchsr to Flor
ence by a carrier pigeon, and so it was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The CAIRO, a huge black structure
on wheels, is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. 1t is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow
ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope is extended from
the caro- to a pole which is set up in
the choir of the Duomo before the
high altar, right up the whole length
of the nave. Upon the rope, close TO
the pole, is perched a white plaster
dove. At the stroke of twelve while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, "a
match is applied to a fusee. and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth a tail Of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
the heads of the crowd, reaches the
CARO-, ignites fusee there, turns, and
still propelled by its fiery tail. whizzes
along the cord again till it has reach
ed its perch on the pole in the choir,
when the fire goes out and it remains
stationary. But in the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municated with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the caro-, and the
whole mass of painted wood and flow
ers is enveloped in fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets of fame and
loud detonations. Meanwhile Mass Is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about a quarter of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the CAIRO, and it is drawn
away"
The flight of the dove is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants, for from its style of
flight they augur variety of future
happenings. Thus, if the bird sails
along easily without jerks they say
the summer will be fine; while if 1t
goes sluggishly, and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as consequence, bad crops.

EASTER FESTIVALS
IN SPANISH CITIES
Fontarabia Always Gay With
PROFESSIONS and Festivities
Gorgeous Celebrations in Sc
vile the Order for Centuries.

NPAIN, lying at peace in the heart
of war, need not be disturbed in
\ the celebrating of holy week, and
50 will continue to be first among
the nations honOring Christ in realistic
ceremonial. The little town of Fon-
tarabia, stones throw from French
soil, is almost as old as the present
government of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces in
its ancient streets, and a fortress with
many battles to its credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
of the year is that which is close upon
Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature,
and the images of Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
siOns, are the treasures of the small
city. The gay city of Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration of Easter
perhaps in the world, in the matter of
symbolic ceremonies In the streets,
and as the most beloved city of the
SpaniardS its practices have had
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome, Petrograd and Venice have
caught the ear of the world with the
music of their services during the
week of the Passion, but in the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns of the
Spanish peninsula go about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
images of ST. Anne, the mother of the
Virgin; of Mary Magdalene and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
most adored in the procession. The
figure of the Christ in Fontarabia Is
very old.
Poland and her Easter feasts are
heralded widely blessing the food"
at Easter time is fully as ancient a
custom and is more familiar. 1t is
now spoken of as purely a Slavic
feature. In the houses of the prosper
GUS, before the war, the tables fairly
grOaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
days Of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared in any
household, great or small. the food was
brought in baskets to the churches,
where priests sprinkled 1t with holy
water and gave it their blessing A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece of the table, as much as a goose

FEEDING SILAGE TO STOCK
No Better or More Economical Feed
as Roughage for Finished
Stock for Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
AS a roughage for finished stock
there is no better or more economical
feed than silage for it produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in healthy condition so that
they can handle other feeds more eff
fectively. An advantage in feeding
silage to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
to carry his stock for a long time so
as to pass over period of depression
in the market.
Siiage also can be probably used to
supplement pastures for steers during
time of drought, when they are be-
ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eral that cattle which received silage
as major portion of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need dry place
to lie down, it has been clearly demon
Strated that warm barns are not only
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed in the open sheds than when
confined in barns. Stocker or thin cat
lie receiving silage will, Of course,
need more protection than animals
which are being fattened.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar
ket is erroneous. While the actual
Shrinkage during transit is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good. and If good judgment
is used in preparing them for shipping
the net shrinliage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed on dry
feeds. For sc hours previous to ship
ping nice bright hay and slower should
be substituted for the silage in the
ration.
The general impression that choice
or prime carcasses cannot be made by
the use of succulent feed is equally
untrue, as the silage-fed cattle usually
make more desirable carcasses than
cattle fed a similar ration, except that
silage was replaced by one of the
coarse folders. There is no appreciate

Day Of Victory.

Easter is not the celebration of

1t is no festival of life always secure

FEED WORK HORSES ALFALFA
Bad Practice to Fill Manager Morning,
Noon and Night and Let Animals
Eat All They Want.

The method practiced by a majority
Of those who have been feeding
alfalfa to work horses has been to fill
the manger morning, noon and night,
allowing the horse to eat all he
wishes. Prairie hay has been fed in
this way without any serious results,
but not so in the case of alfalfa hay.
Alfalfa hay is very palatable and
horses eat very large amounts. FIX
cessive urnation and soft, "windy"
horses that are pulled in the hooks,
stocked on the legs and unable to en-
dure hard work result. This has been
the experience Of hundreds of horse
men. The trouble is with the method
of feeding, not with alfalfa hay.

The hope of immortality was not
born on the first Easter. 1t has been

Common Easter Beliefs.

1t is considered by many unlucky to
omit wearing new clothes on Easter
day. To see lamb out of the window
on Easter morning is a good omen, es-
pecially if its head be turned in the
direction of the house. To meet lamb
is lucky, as, according to the popular
notion, the devil can take any other
form than that Of lamb or dove.

CHAPTER xiv.
The Unhseded Warning.

me Ohheeoeo warning.
On the evening Of the same day
London was stirred by sensation
which eclipsed even Le interest In the
progress Of the war. The evening
newspapers contained, In full, Donald's
narration Of the approaching ruin Of
the world.
The second sea lord. receiving DON
AIDS name. came to the conclusion that
matters Of the most pressing moment
must have brought the unknown young
American naval officer. He rose from
his desk ard shook hands with him
cordially. "Sit down. Mr.. Paget," he
said warmly. Then he noticed that
Donald was dressed. in a nondescript
diving suit and that his looks were de-
cidedly wild.
Donald sat down and plunged In
stantly into the story Of the world
danger. II did not lose Its dramatic
interest In the manner Of Its telling.
"You must stop the war at once"
Donald ended. "Unite all nations Of
the earth. for that is the only way to
save the human race. II Is a matter
Of hours, perhaps. Even now these
monsters may be speeding southwark"
The second sea lord had been unable
to interpose a word by reason Of the
torrent Of impassioned speech that
poured from Donald's lips. At first he
listened In amazement at what he con.
sidered an impudent hoax; then In
anger; then. after a brief glance at
Donald's face. with absolute passivity
II thank you. Mr.. Paget," he said
rising, when Donald had ended. "You
have done notable work. and England
will not forget II. And now, sir. you
must be conducted to the prime min.
lister at once. that you may apprise
him Of these startling events"
He touched his bell. and his secre
tary. a dapper. alert little man, at once
appeared. "Excuse me one moment
please" said the second sea lord tC
Donald.
He whispered with the secretary
whom Donald perceived 10 glance
toward him In rather apprehensivs
manner. The secretary came forward
making a preposterously low bow.
NJ will conduct you to the prime min
lister at once, Mr.. Paget." he said. "Nt
time must be lost. am going to have
q taxicab called"
Donald addressed the second SET
lord again.
II understand" he said, controlling
himself with an effort Of will. "very
well, my lord, shall say no more a
this time. On you will rest the respon
sibility. And you will repent tAis bit
1eriy within . day or two."
