rule IN January or early February.
PEANUTS and crimson clover and ce-

come on in succession, that is, one

is done excellent food crops will be
available from about the first of
fifteenth of June on through until
freezing weather in the fall.

permanently fenced so that the hogs
can be turned from one area to an
other at will, and thus something
fresh and green will be available for
their use at all seasons.
A little additional grain will have
to be fed, particularly during the
fall winter and early spring. For
this purpose velvet beans soaked ~
to "a hours may be used and a little
corn may be fed in addition. When
the hogs are fed on peanuts they
should be finished on corn for two
to four weeks before slaughtering.
A Milk House for Dairy Farm
d. W. j., Atlanta, Ca, writes
have about twenty neifers that will
wish to build a milk house 10 accom-
modate about fifty gallons of milk per
day to be churned into butter. How
far should the milk room be built from
the barn?
A house 20 to 25 feet square will
be sufficiently large to accommo-
date the expeditions handling of 90
disposed to think that this house
should have some partitions through
it so as to divide it into rooms, say
10 by 25 and Is by 25. The smaller
room we would divide so as to pro-
vide a refrigerating room about 10
feet square, in which a permanent
type of ice box can be built, and then
on the other side of the room we
would build place to store contain
ers, wrapping papers, salt and extra
supplies. One side of the Is by rs
room should be fitted up so that you
can produce all the hot water and
steam needed and have a suitable
place in which to wash all utensils.
1t would be a good idea, in fact, to
partition a part of this room off for
this purpose, as you can thereby
keep the rest of the room cool, which
will be an advantage, especially in
warm weather.
The coal or fuel may be supplied
from the outside. If one could pos
sibly afford to use electric power
or gas it would be an advantage, as
this would not heat up your build

GEORGE S. RoBB,
First Lieutenant, 369th Infantry.

For conspicuous gallantry, beyond
the call of duty, near Sechault, France,
September 20 and 30, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon
in the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. RObb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding OIL
Ger. Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
vOtiOn to duty by remaining In COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied its position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
Of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fortitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacrifice.
Lieut.. Robb's home address is 3OS
South Twelfth street, Salina, Kan,
where his mother lives.

CHAPTER XVII.
! Start In a LONG Way.

the evening of a beautiful summer
day. / went at once to call upon the
Dunkelbergs and learned from a man
at work in the dooryard that they had
gone away for the summer. How
keen was my disappointment! 1 went
TO the tavern and got my supper and
then over to Ashery lane to see Mi
chael Hacket and his family. I found
the schoolmaster playing his violin.
"Now God be praised-here is
Bart!" he exclaimed as he put down
his instrument and took my hands
In his. "Ive heard, my boy, how
bravely we've weathered the capes an
I'm proud o. ye-that I am"

second and then asked:
"How go these days with your"
"Swift as the weaver's shuttle" he
answered. "Slt you down, while call
the family. They're out In the kitchen
putting the dishes away. Many hands
make light labor"
They came quickly and gathered
about me-a noisy, happy group. The
younger children kissed me and sat on
my knees and gave me the small news
OF the neighborhood.
How good were the look of those
friendly faces and the full-hearted
pleasure Of the whole family at my
comingi
"What Joy for the spare room !"

and worn. She led me to the other
table which was neatly covered with
snowy linen. The tall woman served
supper on deep blue china, cooked
as only they could cook in old New
England. Meanwhile could hear the
voice Of the aged squire-a weird,
empty inhuman voice it was, utterly
cut off from his intelligence. 1t came
out of the troubled depths Of his
misery.
So that house--the scene of his
great sin which would presently lie
down with him in the dust-was flood
ed, hundred times day, by the I'M
happy spirit Of it's master. In the
dead Of the night heard it's despair
echoing through the silent chambers.
Kate said little as we ate, or as we
sat together in the shabby, great room
after supper, but she seemed to enjoy
my talk and went into the details of
my personal history.
The look on her face, even wh:'s
vas speaking. indicated that hes
thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the
gloomy desert of her past. / thought
of that gay, birdlike youth of hers Of
which the old man with the scythe
had told me, and wondered. AS l was
thinking of this there came cry from
the aged squire so loud and doleful
that it startled me and l turned and
looked toward the open door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
leaned toward my ear whispering:
at is my father. He is always think
ing of when 1 was girl. He wants
me-"
She babe me good night and left
the room. Doubtless 1t was the out
ragged, departed spirit of that golden
time which was haunting the old
squire. A Bible lay on the table near
me and I sat reading it for an hour or
SO. A tall clock in q corner solemnly
tolled the hour Of nine. In came the
tall woman and asked me in the
brOgue of the Irish:
"Would you like 10 go to bed?"
