Delaware, has received a prettily
engrossed certificate from the
American Press, enrolling it in the
Half Century Club of American
journals. Though the Times was
founded 83 years ago, the honor
paid by the American Press is
noteworthy and appreciated.

Forcing Breeding Hens
By Increasing Protein

Forcing breeding hens by in
creasing the amount Of protein in
the ration may be done with no i'll
effects if an abundance of green
feed is supplied. Recent expert
ments conducted at the Oklahoma
agricultural experiment station
show that the mortality of the breed
r fed green feed was not increased
by forcing, observes a writer in
Successful Farming. Green feed pro-
tects the Matching qualities of eggs
produced by forced breeders. Ra-
tons with a protein content as high
as % per cent may be fed without
injury to the hatchability of eggs if
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, or some
other green feed is fed each day.
Where forcing is done by increasing
the protein in the feed and using
lights, the use of green feed is espe-
cially important to maintain good
advances in the total egg produce
ton.

CHAPTER VII

Vance nodded with understanding.
"That being the case, I presume
that you and Mrs. Garden have pro-
vided for young Swift in your wills"
"That is true" Professor Gar
den answered after a slight pause.
1--WE have, as a matter of fact,
made Woode and our son equal
beneficiaries."

"any income of his OWN"
"None whatever" the professor
told him. "He has made a little
money here and there, on various
enterprises-largely connected with
sports-but he is entirely dependent
on the allowance my wife and I
give him. It's a very liberal one
too liberal, perhaps, judged by con-
ventional standards. But I see no
reason not to indulge the boy. It
isn't his fault that he hasn't the
temperament for a professional ca
reer, and has no flair for business"

Vance murmured: Especially for
OHe WHO Is H1IIlSeI So
ly devoted to the more serious
things of life as you are . . . But
what of Swift: did he have an in
dependent income?"
Ellis father" the professor ex-
planned, cleft him a very comfort
able amount; but I imagine he
squandered it or gambled most OF it
away"
"There's one more question:"
Vance continued, "that I'd like to
ask you in connection with your
will and Mrs. Gardens: were your
son and nephew aware of the dispo-
sition of the estate?"
81 couldn't say. It's quite posi-
BILE they we're. Neither Mrs. Gar
den nor I have regarded the subject
as a secret . But what, may I
ask" - Professor Garden gave
Vance a puzzled look-"has this to
do with the present terrible situa-
TOM"

tool kit.

buzzer," he announced with surly
Indifference. II didn't find the trou-
BILE downstairs"
"Maybe the difficulty is at this
end" suggested Vance. "There's
the buzzer behind the desk"
The man went over to it, opened
his case Of tools and, taking out a
fashlight and a small screw-driver,
removed the outer shell of the box.
lingering the connecting wires for a
moment, he looked up at Vance with
an expression of contempt.
"You can't expect the buzzer to
work when the wires amt connect
3D." he commented.
Vance became suddenly interest
ed. Adjusting his monocle, he knelt
down and looked at the box.
"They're both disconnected-eh,
WHAT" he remarked.
"Sure they are" the man grum-
bled. "And it don't look to me
like they worked themselves loose,
either"
"You think they were deliberately
disconnected?" asked Vance.
"Well, it looks that way" The
man was busy recommending the
wires. Both screws are loose, and
the wires aren't bent-they look like
they been pulled out"
"That's most i%nterestin'." Vance
stood up, and returned the monocle
to his pocket meditatively. ut might
be, of course. But I can't see why
anyone should have done it ... Sor-
ry for your trouble"
"Oh, that's all in the days work."
the man muttered, readjusting the
cover of the box. IT wish all my
jobs were as easy as this one" Aft
n a few moments he stood up.
"Let's see if the buzzer will work
now. Any one downstairs who'll
answer if I press this?"

"I'm merely probin' round in the
dark, in the hope of findin' some
small ray of light"
Hennessey, the detective whom
Heath had ordered to remain on
guard below, came numbering up
the passageway to the study.
"There's a guy downstairs, Ser
geant," he reported, ."who says he's
from the telephone company and
has got to fix a bell Or somethin'.
He's fused around downstairs and
couldn't find anything wrong there"
Heath shrugged and looked in
quiringly at Vance.
cts quite all right, Hennessey,"
Vance told the detective. "Let him
come up"
Hennessey saluted half-heartedly
and went out.
"You know, Markham" Vance
said, II wish this internal buzzer
hadn't gone out of order at just
this time. I abominate coinci-
dences-"
"Do you mean," Professor Gar
den interrupted, "that inter-commu-
nicating buzzer between here and
the den downstairs? 1t was

''That's just it. It evidently ceased
functioning after you had gone out.
The nurse discovered it and report
ed it to Sneed who called up the
telephone company"

professor returned with a lacka-
daisical gesture of his hand. cts

many trips up and down the stairs"
"We may as well let the man
attend to it, since he's here. It
won't disturb u.s." Vance stood up.
"And I say, doctor, would you mind
joining the others downstairs? Well
be down presently, too"
The professor inclined his head in
silent acquiescence and, without a
word, went from the room.
Presently a tall, pale, youthful
man appeared at the door to the

BY pr; .; F; Garrett M T Instructor Gor,s In Dairy
Agricuiture.-wNU Service.
Nothing puts that desirable
"June" flavor in milk quite so sue
cessfully as tender green grass, but
in order to avoid the undesirable
odor and favor which nearly al
ways occurs when COW are first
turned or pasture, it is necessary
to observe caution in the pasturing
practice.
Research workers at the Califor-
mia and Oklahoma Agricultural Ex-
pertinent stations have shown that
if COWS are kept away from rough
ages, especially green roughages,
at least five hours before milking
very little of the s'feedy" flavor will
be evident in the milk. This same
procedure cah be applied to pas
turing practices. The COWS can be
turned on pasture Immediately aft
er the morning milking but they
should be removed to a dry lot or
barn at least five hours before the
next milking.
If this practice is followed for the
first two or three weeks in the
spring, there will be very little of
the undesirable grass odor and fla
vor in the milk. This practice will
even eliminate most of the wild gar
lie or onion flavor if these plant
r found in the pasture. At the
same time the COWS will have
enough time to consume the neces-
sary quantity of grass to supply
their needs.
To get the very finest flavor in
milk during the pasture season, it is
suggested that this procedure be fol-
lowed throughout the entire time.

Sermons in Stone

In the Regional Museum in Aber.
Ideen, Scotland, r many sermons
exhibited in stone. These sermons
are gathered from all over the Brit
ish Isles, particularly Scotland, and
represent both social and natural
history, and are more impressive
than textbooks. AS an Illustration,
Carlyle's life is not only exhibited
by his library of books, but from
scenes associated with his life from
his castle visits to his fishing
haunts. Axe weapons, windmills
and other paraphernalia of mans
early history in Scotland are shown
as processes of evolution. Geologic
al specimens are shown amid flow
ers, fishes and birds and give a
natural setting to the scene seldom
witnessed in completion.

death had all the appearance of sui.
eide, but that you do not accept
that conclusion. Would it be asking
too much if I requested further de-
tails with regard to your attitude
In this respect?"
"There can be no doubt, sir"
Vance returned quietly, "that your
nephew was murdered. There are
too many indications that contra
dict the theory of suicide. But it
would be inadvisable, as we'll as
unnecessary, to go into details at
the moment. Our investigation has
just begun. BY the by, doctor, may
I ask what detained you this after
noon?-I gathered from your son
that you usually return home long
before this time on Saturdays"
"Of course, you may" the man
replied with seeming frankness; but
there was a startled look in his
eyes as he gazed at Vance. Il
had some obscure data to look up
before I could continue with an ex-
pertinent I'm making; and I thought
today would be an excellent time
to do it, since I close the laboratory
and let my assistants 60 on Satur-

Vance went on, "between the time

"To be quite specific" Professor
Garden answered, II left the uni
versity at about two and went to the
public library where I remained
until half an hour ago. Then I took

"You went to the library alone?"
asked Vance.

regarded Woode almost as a son,
since his parents died. He was not

fundamental weakness in his ma
ture, we have been more lenient
with him than with our WI son."

Clean Water for Ponds

A location that will allow drain
age from only clean pasture or
meadow should be chosen for the
farm pond, says Marion Clark Of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Water from barnyards and lots
should never be allowed to drain in
to stock ponds. Where it is de-
sirable to construct a pond where
water from lots would normally
drain into it, terraces should be
used to intercept the contaminated
water and carry it to another water
shed where it will not pollute the
pond water.

Grain Mixture for Poultry

There are several grains or COM
binations of grains that give satisfac-
tory results, but the one most COM
monty used in all sections of this
state, says a North Carolina State
college poultryman, is composed of
60 per cent yellow corn and 40
per cent wheat. However, this ra-
ton should be largely governed by
what is grown or the farm, and the
cost of the, grain which must be
purchased. Where there is an album
dance of heavy barley (48 pounds to
the bushel) or heavy oats (38 pounds
to the bushel) these may be substi-
tuted for a part of the corn and
wheat, but should never exceed 80
per cent of the grain mixture.

Agricultural Notes

Hogs yield a greater proportion
of edible meat than any other meat
animals.
1t is found that seven out of every
100 farm fires start whe.l sparks
land on a roof.
Among spring-seeded pastures,
oats give the greatest pasturage in
the shortest time and at the least
cost.
Milk cows require from 100 to 300
pounds of water daily, it is stated by
the Missouri experiment station.
More than so kinds of fruits and
vegetables are of commercial inn
portance in the United States.
For the past ten years the tobacco
crop in the United States has aver
