have directed considerable effort in
seed-corn selection and testing cam

year in the SO Northern and Western
states in fall-selecting seed corn, and
more than q million additional acres

AS soon as sickness appears in the
herd the unaffected hogs should at
once be removed to clean, disinfected
quarters, preferably without much
range, for by running over pastures
they may come in contact with con.
tagion. Their feed should be carefully
regulated and, If they have previously
been on pasture, should include some
green feed, roots. or an abundance Of
skim milk.
The quarters in which the sickness
first appeared should be thoroughly
cleaned, all bedding and rubbish
burned, and loose boards and old par.

MANURE OF Benefit TO CORN
Average Increase Of 1914 Bushels Per
Acre Secured During First Year
Of Application.

The results Of a large number Of
tests conducted by the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture show
that manure applied to corn land un.
der Missouri conditions at the rate Of
eight loads per acre has given an aver.
age increase Of 1O.4 BUSHES during the
first season following its application.
At the present price Of farm products
this should be sufficient reason for
making a special effort to save every
ton Of manure produced on the farm,
and to see that it is returned to the
Geld before the corn crop is planted.

That the county fair is fertile field

been demonstrated in the upper PENN
sula Of Michigan by Duncan L. Nc
MILAN, extension specialist in sheep
husbandry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, cooperating
with the Michigan College Of Agricul-
ture. During the recent county fair
season Mr.. Mcmillan displayed a novel
sheep exhibit, prepared strictly on ed
ucational lines, at five local fairs. The
object of the display was to demon
strate improved methods in handling
and breeding sheep to farmers al
ready in the business, and to stimu-
late and assist others in getting start

ewes as foundation stock and crossing
them with pure-bred rams of the black

flocks.
Makeup Of Exhibit.
The exhibit was made up Of several
pens of sheep, including one Of west
ern ewes brought in from the range
this year, and others Of first, second
and third crosses of western ewes and
purc-bred rams. One pen Of Angora
goats was used TO demonstrate their
brush-clearing ability by placing guam

The discipline of lifetime held

man nor the woman knew he had been
there.
Then Kellerman burst into hysterical
laughter.

Mark turned away in disgust, but he
imagined the warped mind that caught
at this hope Of secrecy.
He went back into the kitchen. The
soldiers were still there, one orr two

only ten minutes. Annette made

But Mark was searching in the room
for Hartley.

Mark strobe out of the Inn without
a word. Hartley's disappearance did
not disturb him. Hartley was strange;
but he felt that he had relied too much
on Hartley. It was for him to act. He
would go to the Major in charge Of the
hospital, tell his story, and do the only
thing possible. He had no doubt any
longer that Kellerman and the Henson
woman were partners In far-reaching
against his country, though
he had never before allowed himself
to accept the obvious deductions from
the Washington episode. His mind
moved slowly. His purpose had been
to redeem himself, he had thought

And suddenly, out Of the mist of

Reluctantly he abandoned the search
and they rejOined the others. The SER

sharply onward, but could not resist
casting occasional looks back to see If
the missing man was coming. How
ever, at last he resigned himself to
what seemed inevitable. The trench
widened into deep, wide, parallel one
extending in zigzags to right and left
of them.
