BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipments
Except Essentials, From Spain
to United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain. OF
which large quantities formerly were
shipped both directly and via France
and Italy to the United States and
other foreign markets, from Barcelona
and Seville, are prohibited by a recent
royal order, states commerce reports.
In southern Spain and in the region
of Catalonia, the olive oil industry has
been an important source of revenue
to the growers who export to foreign
refnerieS, whence the oil was often
shipped to the United States, as of
really nonSpanish production. Re-
Gently the direct exports of the COM
modify from Spain to the United States
have increased considerably with the
development of the American taste for
the oil produced in Spain.
There is no embargo on exports OF
essential oils such as pennyroyal, rose
mary, sage, thyme and lavender, the
Spanish production of which is large
ly destined for foreign markets, and
shipment of which is made direct from
Spain to the United States, France,
and elsewhere. These oils are pro-
duced especially in the regions of Muir
cia and Malaga, where many medical
herbs are grown for domestic con-
sumption and export. AS compara-
lively little use is made in Spain OF
several oils derived from the plantt
mentioned and other oil-producine
herbs, the local market is limited; but
the industry may be developed indefi
nitely in view of the favorable eli
matte conditions of those sections OF
Spain where the plants flourish. Ii
1915 the declared exports Of essential
oils from Malaga to the United States
were valued at $176,164; those from
Almeria, at $21,920; and those from
Barcelona, at $13,2 ,220.

Make Fun Of aHynn of Hate.D

'sThe German Hymn of Hate bids
fair to become one Of England's ma
tional songs" writes Maj. Eric Fisher
Wood in 1.-The Notebook of an Intelli-
gence Officer" 'just as derisive Yam
kee Doodle first composed and played
by the musicians of British troops
early in the American revolution, was
later, on the occasion of their final sur
render at Yorktown, played at them
by the bands of the Continental army
and subsequently became one of Amer
ica's national songs, having today a
popularity rivaled only by Dixie 1t
is truly an extraordinary sight to see a
British regiment on the march singing
the Hymn of Hate at the top of their
lungs and at the chorus to hear some
clear tenor voice sing out, Whom do
we hate? and then the whole battal-
IONS reply in voice of thunder-'Eng-

KEEP FARM RECORDS
TO SHOW ACTIVITIES
Cash Accounts, Properly Assem-
bIed, Are of Importance.
Often Overlooked Projects Produce
Nearly as Much Money as Obvi-
ousIy important = Carefully
Avoid Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
When a record is kept of all the
money taken in and spent on the farm,
at the close of the business year the
cash accounts can be assembled under
headings that will show exactly what
branch of the farm activities produced
the dollars and what each required in
the way of cash expenditure to keep
going. Some farmers are apt to judge
Of the Importance of the various farm
projects by the time it takes to put
them through. To such, a complete
cash record for year, properly as
sembled, will be an eye-opener. Often
seemingly unimportant things on the
farm, such as the flock of poultry, pro-
duce nearly as much net cash as the
obviously important. The years cash
summary helps the farmer to get a
better perspective of these things.
In using such records as an aid to
future plans, hasty conclusions should
not be drawn, nor should snap judg-
ments be taken. The fact that the
hogs or the corn crop brought in the
most net money last year is no reason
for assuming that all the activities of
the farm henceforth should be devoted
to the sole purpose of hog or corn
raising. 1t may be that the keeping
of cows was partly responsible for
making the hogs so productive of net
cash, or that the growing Of wheat,
clover, or other crops in rotation with
corn made the latter crop much more
profitable than it would have been if
grown alone. Similar conditions will
be met with on all farms, and there
fore no sudden changes should be
made on the basis of what few ac-
counts may show.
On the other hand, a single years
figures will occasionally indicate that
something is radically wrong; will
show where the net expenses of one
farm enterprise is a great drain on the
net cash returns made by the others

should be carefully studied and un

CHAPTER XVIII.
All Riuht and Comfy.


"HE next morning Billy Louise
rode up the creek at long lope,
and she pulled up at the stable
and slid off Blue. She went straight
to q corner of the hay corral and
stopped with her hands clutching the
top wire.
"Ward Warren, for heavens sake
what are you doingT You couldn't
have told from her tone that she had
been crying. a mile back, from sheer
anxiety, or that she 'loved him to
pieces" She sounded as if she did not
love him at all and was merely disgust
ed with his actions.
'Tm trying to sink my loop on this
buzzard-head of a horse" Ward re-
torted glumly. "Tve been trying for
about an hour" he added, grinning a
little st his own plight.
"Well, it's a lucky thing for you he
won't let you," Billy Louise informed
him sternly, STOPPING to crawl under
the bottom wire. you've got about as
much sense as" She did not say
what. "Give me that rope, and you
take yourself and your crutches out
of the corral, Mr.. Smarty. 1 just had
hunch you couldn't be trusted to be-
have yourself"

alight, as he hobbled slowly toward

she had suspected him and wrung her
heart because of her suspicions-and
in that l think she was wise and kind.
They found Seabeck and Floyd Car
son and another cowboy at the Cove,
just preparing to leave. Marthy, it
transpired, had sent for them because
she wanted to make her will, so that
Billy Louise would have the Cove when
Marthy was done with it. Billy Louise
cried a little and argued a good deal,
but Marthy had not lost all her stub
bornness, and the will stood IN
changed.
Billy Louise and Ward were married

Just as soon as he could walk comfort
ably with a cane.
They stayed the winter in the Cove,
and a part of the spring. Then they
buried grim, gray old Marthy up on the
side hill near Jase, where she had
asked them to lay her work-worn body
when she was gone.
They were very busy and very happy
and pretty prosperous with their three
ranches They never heard of Charlie
Fox again, or of Buck Olney-and they
never wanted to.
If you should some time ride through
a certain portion of Idaho, you may
find the tiny valley of the Wolverine
and the decaying cabins which prove
how impossible it is for a couple to
live in three places at once. If you
should be so fortunate as to meet Billy
Louise, she might take you through
the canon and point out to you her
cave. 1t is possible that she might also
show you the washout which always
made her and Ward laugh when they
passed it. And if you ride up over the
hill and along the upland and down
another hill, you cannot fail to find the
entrance to the Cove; and perhaps you
will like to ride down the gorge and
see the little Eden hidden away there
And if you should meet them, give my
regards to Billy Louise and Ward
who never calls himself a football

They came to the gate, and Billy
Louise freed her hand from his clasp
and dismounted, since it was a wire
gate and could not be opened on horse
back. She closed it after him, looked
to her cinch, tightened it a little, pat
ted Rather on the neck, caught the
horn with ones hand and the stirrup
with the other, and went up quite like
man, while Ward watched her in
tently.
"In sooth, know not why you are
so sa-ad,'" murmured Billy Louise,
when she swung alongside in the trail.
Ward caught her hand again and did
not let go; so they rode hand in hand
down the narrow valley.

drawing in a corner of his lip, biting
it, and letting it go. "Wilhemina, if

that Billy Louise had to grit her teeth
to keep from interrupting him-"or if

UTILIZING ALL GULL FRUIT
New England Grower Never Loses
Anything From His Fifty-Acre
Tract-SurpIus Is Used.

1t costs as much to grow Gull as
first-grade apples, and if they are not
sold above the cost of production
there is a loss. In speaking of this
subject recently, Prof. w. W. Cheno-
weth of Massachusetts, told of a large
New England grower who never loses
anything from his so acres of small
fruits. He employs a woman and two
or three girls to make the surplus into
jam, jelly, etc. which sells at a good
price.
About one-third of the apple crop of
many states is classed as cider ap-
pies, which are generally worth about
II cents per bushel. Only part of
these are utilized by local cider mills !;
much goes to waste. Apples are
worth but 10 cents per bushel to feed
stock, while the pomace from bushel
of apples is worth A cents to feed
dairy cows.
The Gull apples can be converted
into cider or vinegar, boiled cider,
boiled sirup, apple jelly, apple butter,
jelly base or dried apples.

Rhodes Advice to the Kaiser,


There is a refreshing atmosphere of
give and take, popularly associated
with democracy, in an audience that
Cecil Rhodes once had with the kaiser.
The audience was remarkable because
the visitor was allowed to do most of
the talking, and also because Mr..
Rhodes walked into the audience
chamber in his everyday clothes, with
a slouch hat under his arm and sat
down, when he felt like it, before the
emperor did.
''Whv am I not well liked in Eng
landT Wilhelm asked him. "What
can do to make myself popular?"
Suppose you just try doing moth
ing" answered Rhodes.
An ominous frown gathered on the
imperial countenance; then it lifted.
and the kaiser. breaking into a laugh,
slapped his visitor on the back.-Inti-

The First Romanoff.

Romanoff is the name of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 1870, and
thenceforward In the female line. Con-
stant intermarriages with German
princely houses, however, have made
the Romanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old
est ancestor of the house of Roman
off. Andrew Kobyla, is said to have
come to Moscow from Prussia Q34D.
The name Romanoff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting a
female member of his family on the
throne of the czars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1913, Mikhael Feodorvitch
Romanoff, boy of seventeen, was pro-
claimed czar, grand duke and autocrat
of all the Russias in the Red square
of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne of the famous, or rather Ill.
famed. dynasty began a 304 years
misrule that-let us hope--has ended
forever with the forced abdication OF
Czar Nicholas, in March, 1917.

er caterpillars, leafhoppers, aphids or
plant lice, early blight, and other foli-
age diseases. For most of the insects
and for the diseases spraying with
bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead
is recommended, but for leafhoppers
and plant lice contact sprays, such as
nicotine sulphate and emulsions, are
the best. For blight bordeaux mixture
is an effective means of control. Other
methods calculated to help protect the
crop are jarring and driving, crop rota-
ton and clean cultural practices.

HydroQen.

The lightest known gas is hydro
gen. The decomposition Of water by
electricity yields this gas. 1t may be
generated by the action of hydro
chloric acid upon zinc, forming zine
chloride and iberating the hydrogen
which the hydrochloric acid contains.
When a piece Of sodium is dropped in
to water, the gas which comes off is
hydrogen. This is too expensive for
commercial purposes. The action OF
warm sodium hydroxide upon alum
inium causes the evolution Of hydro
gen from the sodium hydroxide and
the formation of aluminium hydrcxide,
The first method given is the cheapest
and the one most generally employed
for obtaining hydrogen.
