Bracing Fruit Trees

Wind and ice and heavy crops Of
fruit often break the limbs of fruis
trees, peach trees especially, ana
these should be braced. Wire is prob
ably the best thing to use for this
purpose and it should be padded tc
prevent the wire from cutting into
the limbs. A good padding material
is pieces of old automobile tires,
and the best time to do this work is
during the pruning operation. In
pruning peach trees care should be
taken to cut back the top branches,
which are often difficult to reach;
for unless this is done the lower
branches will soon become weak
and slender and finally die. Eventu-
ally, this neglect will result in a
"leggy" tree.--Missouri Farmer.

MURDER MASQUERADE

She was kind. We worshiped her
my wife and To-
Doctor Marden came to a full
stop. He put his hand over his
eyes and sank back into the past.
Presently with a deep sigh he
emerged into the present again.
s'When the war came, ! enlisted
as volunteer in the French medi-
cal service. I will say here that
we are a medical family, so to
speak. Before the war was over,
there were a half dozen Mardens
working in France. When the Unit
ed States came in, / was trans
ferred to the American service"
He paused and looked inquiringly
at Patrick. Patrick nodded. He
did not speak. I knew that no
more than would he have inter-
rupted the flow of that story.
Doctor Marden went on. ''My
wife threw herself into war work
too. For four years she worked
daily at the American Ambulance
in Neuilly. Eleanor-perhaps now
had better tell you about Flea
nor.
Eleanor was a natural nurse.
She never took a course in nurs-
ing, but I taught her everything
I knew. She volunteered when I
did and the French sent her to the
hospital at Courcy -sur-Seine. She
stayed there for about a year. I
saw her only at irregular intervals.
I had an occasional permission
from the front and then she and my
wife and I would try to manage a
reunion at our home in Paris. But
I did not see much Of Eleanor dur
ing the first months of the war. I
went through what many husbands
were going through in France then.
I saw my wife getting more and
more fatigued-nervously exhaust
ed. But Eleanor stood up to it
marvelously. But every time I saw
her, it seemed to me that she had
become more of a woman, more
and more beautiful. Then Ace
Blake appeared in her life"
Again Doctor Marden came to
pause and now he did not cover his
face with his hands. He presented,

Origin of Broccoli

Broccoli was fairly we'll known in
England about the second decade of
the Eighteenth century. Three vari-
cites were recognized at that time
among which were purple and
white heading type. In 1778 four
varieties were cultivated in the
British Isles. There has been some
dispute as to the origin of the seed
but it is commonly thought that the
English seed was brought from
Italy. For a while it was recog-
nized as italian asparagus.

Feed Brood Sows Well
for Healthy Spring Pigs

To insure strong, healthy, vigor~
GUS pigs brood sows must be fed
satisfactory rations during the
CESSATION period, states H. G. Ia
voral, extension animal husband
man, University Farm, st. Paul.
In sections where crops are nearly
normal, the principal ration for
breed sows will contain ground oats,
just enough corn or barley to keep
the sows in the desired condition,
and some protein feed such as skim
milk or tankage.
If alfalfa hay is available, some
of the second or third crop should
be fed to the sows in racks at all
7 times. The hay may be ground, too.
Good quality red clover or sweet
clover hay may be substituted for
alfalfa. Where skimmilk may not be
obtained, a protein mixture of 35
pounds of tankage, IS pounds of soy
bean oil meal, and 80 pounds of
ground alfalfa meal may be fed in
a self-feeder. Ground alfalfa will
add to the bulk of the ration. With
the above protein supplement,
mixture of two-thirds ground oats
and one-third barley will make
satisfactory ration.
If barley is of mailing quality,
however, oats may be fed alone
and the barley marketed in other
channels. Added to the oats ration,
however, should be two or three
ears of corn each day.
Water and salt should be available
at all times, and the sows should
have sufficient exercise. Feeding
them some distance from theiS
sleeping quarters will provide thu
exercise.

unscreened, the hard bitter eyes,
the tight-shut lips; the setness of

II know that you, Mrs. Avery,
are acquainted with the factors of
Ace Blaikie's war experience be-
cause I've heard you discuss them
so often"
"And besides," reminded him,
"my husband was in France"
''Well then, I will merely say
that it was while he was in the
Foreign Legion that he met Eleanor.
It seemed to have been a case of
love at first sight. Certainly with
Eleanor. And as she afterward told
me, Doctor Blake said it was so
with him. But when it comes to
Doctor Blaikie and love-
The expression on Doctor Mar
denis face deepened so horribly
that it was as though the blood
behind the flesh had turned to ink.

che did not know really what
love was. On that side he was not
man but beast. At any rate they
met as often as his permissions and
hers allowed. What happened of
course was that Ace Blake dis
covered that in order to possess nv
daughter, he must offer her mar
riage. Understand" Doctor Mar
denis voice shot to us a peremp-
tory order. Understand that this
was not a subject that Eleanor
would discuss with any man. He
had to learn that-to sense it. And
he was apparently extremely acute
in sensing the reactions of the 9TH
er sex. At any rate they were mar
ried secretly. That was before the
United States came in. 1t was in
the summer of 1915. I will not
go into all the ms and outs of this.
I will say only that marriage in
France is very complicated mat
ter. Ace Blake had made friends
with a French officer who had
long pull. He fixed it so that Ace
and Eleanor were married secretly.
Presently Eleanor found herself
pregnant. She told me afterward
that there was nothing in the world
she wanted so much as to bear a

Drainage Of Farm
Roads Is Benefit
Repairing Should Be Done
Before Usual Work Has
to Be Started.
BY E. R. Gross. Professor of Agricultural
Engineering, New Jersey State College.

Engineering, New Jersey State College.
WNU Service.
Timely repair is as necessary to
farm roads as it us to farm equip
ment. And the best time to make
repairs is before blowing and seed
sowing become the farmers prin-
cipal concern.
Delay in, making repairs to farm
roads can be costly to farmers, as
roads which are in bad condition
hinder transportation and may be
the cause of missing the opportuni-
ties of favorable market.
Since water does the greatest
amount of damage to roads, drain
age should be the first consideration
in their upkeep. Diverting the wat
er to roadside bitches. prevents ero-
sion but these bitches will not elm
mate sub-surface water which pre-
vents firm road bed. In low or
level places, lines of tile two to two
and one-half feet below the surface
should be run parallel to the road.
Having provided adequate drainage,
the grade may be restored or
even improved. The firm dry road
bed thus established will resist
much heavier traffic without break
ing down.
Dragging will keep sand, silt or
clay roads in good condition. Re-
peated at frequent intervals, drag
ging tends. to harden the top layers,
especially in clay soils. Thus good,
firm road may be maintained by
proper draining, grading and ade-
quate dragging. If a better type of
road is desired, surfacing may be
considered. Gravel, stone, a sand
asphalt blanket or other surfacing
materials may be used to advan-
tage and for profit.
