maid. She should have been very
happy but she wasn't and this TACT
puzzled her. She was really not any
happier than she had been when she
was poor. She loved her work, but she
wanted Barbara and she wanted some
thino else that she could not fathom.
She felt vaguely restless.
Sixty dollars week may sound like
a magnificent salary, but it really is
not large, and Virginia had to keep up
a certain appearance. She felt that it
would not be wise to send for Barbara
just yet and as much as she longed for
her baby, she decided to wait.
Virginia had learned more in her
short connection with the stage than
she had all the rest of her life. She
had discovered an amazing fact about
herself, one that she was almost
ashamed to admit, and that was her
love for Jimmy. As she saw life now
1t had not been love, but love Of love.
She was glad in thinking back that she
had not known this before. AS 1t was
she and Jimmy had had comparatively
happy time together. ''The Probe" was
play with a strong love interest and
Virginia, who had known so little about
the world before, dreamed about love
that would take her by storm as this
woman was swept of her feet In the
play. 1t was wild and stormy love
and she thrilled as deliciously as any
young girl.
One afternoon she was dallying
lazily with a magazine in her small
living room when Bill was announced.
Virginia wore one Of the straight gowns
that were 80 becoming to her. This one
was of garnet velvet, made with long
sleeves and a collar line that made her
small head look like a flower on a
stem. 1t was severely simple and very
girlish.
She smiled at Bill as he came across
| to her and held out her hand without
rising. He stood for moment looking
down at her and quite suddenly Vir-
ginia was conscious Of the fact that he
was holding her hand. Something
caught at her heart suffocatingly, q
feeling that was almost primitive urged
over her and she pulled her hand quickly
away. There was moment in which
she could not collect her scattered wits
and then she forced herself to laugh ant
the next minute they were chatting to-
gether in their usual friendly way. But
that queer feeling remained with Vir-
ginia. Once. as she looked up sht
fancied that she surprised smolder-
ing look in Bills eyes, but it was gone
In a moment.

PREPARE LOGGED-OFF
LAND FOR PASTURE
Time Of Seeding Depends Upon
When Ground Is Burned.
Sufficient Moisture is Secured From
Rains to Cause Good termination
II Seeded in Unsettled Ashes In
late Summer.

In preparing logged-off land for pas
ture, the time of seeding depends up
on when the land is burned over, &C.
cording to specialists of the Office of
farm management of the United States
department Of agriculture. If the burn
occurs during July. August, or early in
September, the seed should be sown
in the early fall before the ashes have
been settled by the rains.
II seeded in the unsettled ashes,
the first rains that come will cover
the seed sufficiently to secure good
termination. If the burn occurs SO
late in the fall that the seed cannot
be sown until during October. 1t Is
best to SOW the grasses then and wait
until in February or March to SOW the
clover.
The heaving of the soil during the
late fall and winter, condition
caused by alternate thawing and freez-
ing, often destroys young clover unless
1t is sown early enough In the fall to
get a good start. If the fall-sown
clover is destroyed in this way 1t may
be reseeded during February or March.
When sown in the early spring the
heaving of the soil helps to cover the
seed.

us the price Of beef high7"
This question Is heard on all sides
today. The producer says, mo, con.
sidering the price get for my cattle"
The consumer says, Eyes" So there
you have It. But whatever the right
answer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher II there Is not enough
beef to supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy
On the other hand, prices may de.
cline If an over-supply is produced.
What Is the present situation? We
have today less beef in sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department of ag-
griculture, which is kept closely ad-
vised as to conditions on the ranges
and in the markets. The present price
Of feeding stuff, scarcity of farm la
Dor, reduced numbers of breeding ami
mails, and small margin of profits
to the producer the past year are all
factors which tend to limit prOduc-
ton, and impress upon us the i'm
2ortance of maintaining production and
producing beef as cheaply as possible.
Utilize Pastures to Utmost.
For an answer to this question, we
must look to Mother Earth. This Is
springtime, the crops are planted, the
grass is growing, and the cattle are
on the green. This means, In its last
analysis, utilize pasture to the limit,
conserve roughages to the utmost, and
produce forages and feeding stuffs
which will make the most beef at least
cost.

several years been studying the prob
