Questions Pertaining 10
Agriculture Problems

What Is the cause of hens be-
coming ruptUred and what is the
remedy?
The cause is a weakness in the
reproductive organs. There is no
actual remedy, but keeping a self
feeder of oats before them at all
times is a definite help in proven
tion.-Cora Cooke, extension poul-
try specialist.
prepared pickles in a galvanized
tub. Now 1 find that the pickles
have a peculiar appearance and I
am wondering IL there can be any
danger from eating them.
1t usually is not desirable to use
zinc containers TO- pickles or any
acid materials, inaSmuch as the
acid will dissolve the zinc. Zinc
is quite toxic and is known as an
irritant poison. AS little as Is grains
may cause death. 1t is therefore
wise to avoid possible trouble by
throwing away the pickles.-R. A.
Gortner, division of agricultural
biochemistry.
What is the best method of ap-
plying sodium chlOrate for killing
weeds? Is 1t too late to make ap-
plicatiOns this year?
A busting device that spreads the
chemical at the rate of about three
pounds per square rod has been
found to be most satisfactory at the
state weed farm near Lamberton.
Mixing with water at the rate of
about 2 pounds per gallon and
spraying 2 gallons to a square rod
was also found to be effective. 1t
is most efficient if applied before
frost kills the foliage.-R. F. Grim,
extension agronomist.
How should L protect my peren-
mails against winter freezing?
Generally, perennials should be
protected by covering with straw.
marsh hay, or leaves intermixed
with excelsior. Leaves used alone
have a tendency to pack and do
not, as a rule, thaw out sufficiently
early in the spring to prevent dam
age to the young growth. Good
soil drainage is a prime factor in
successful wintering of perennial
plants.-Louis Sando, division of
horticulture.
I wOrmed my yearling hens in
September and they quit laying
Since then 1 have been told that
the brand of tablets I used was
poisonous to chickens. Do you
think this is true?
Regardless of the kind of tablet
used, worms alone are sufficient to
make hens stop laying especially
at that time of year. Any treat
ment you might use would be all
the harder on them and cause an
even greater drop in production. In
giving the worm tablets you simply
fastened the mott which would
have started soon anyway.-Cora
Cooke, extension poultry specialist
How can fruits and nuts be kept
from sinking to the bottom of the
cake batter?
If sprinkling nuts and fruits with
flour does not prevent their sink
ing to the bottom, your batter may
be too rich. Usually rolling them
in the last fourth of the flour be-

tilly lace was used for the upper
part Of the long puffed sleeves, the

ment or two later.
Delicious. When were you ir
Singapore, Ronald?"
"a few months ago." he answered
carelessly, "and only for few hours
then. must tell you all about my
travels later on"
She set down her glass for . mo-
ment.
"Do you ever tell anyone in the
world all about your travels, Ron
ald?" she asked.
He looked at her with a faint but
discerning smile.
"There are some things I am saw
ing up, of course" he admitted.
"When I am Lord Lieutenant of the
County, bobbing about opening charity
bazaars, blessing all the Boy Scouts
and that sort of thing, I shall have to
write a book. Then I shall have no
more sercets. By-the-by, that reminds
me, may ask Mrs. Howard to have a
room prepared for a man who is bring
ing me down q letter and some pa
pers? It is just an odd job of survey
ing did for the Government while
I was in Africa and they seem to be
rather in a hurry to report upon it.
He will be here I expect tonight or
tomorrow"
"Of course" his mother acquiesced.
"He can have one of the bachelor
suites, then he will have his own sit
tingroom. Will he join the house
party? There will be only one or
two of us-the Dean and his wife,
and Bemrose and Margaret Bemrose.
Stephen and Alice are already here"
"He would rather shut himself up,
I expect"
Lady Matresser rose to her feet
with a sigh. Her maid was standing
inquiringly by the portiere.

"She will be the beauty of the fam
lily. Her picture in the academy by
that Hungarian artist was the success
of the season. Watch her now. She
has just seen you."
He turned round. His younger sis
ter was coming towards him, her arms
outstretched, moving with the swift
joyous speed of young Atalanta.
"Ronald!" she cried. eat last!"
One swift glance of admiration and
then queer stoppage Of all sensation.
His eyes seemed to pass her, to be fas-
tened upon the girl who had entered
the room by her side but who was lin
gering now in the background. OF
himself Mattresses used always to say
that he had not pictarially retentive
mind, that "reminiscences with him
were always Of fragmentary type.
Yet in those few seconds the world
seemed to fall away. The stately,
exquisitely proportioned room with its
carved ceilings and mantelpieces seem
ed suddenly to dissolve into the mists.
He was back again in the wilder spots
of the world. The perfume of the
night flowers was in his nostrils, the
hubub of strange voices speaking in
q strange tongue, sounding in his
ears, few minutes of half forgotten
madness-and there were very few in

described as creamy and her hair was
either a very pleasant shade of light

lights that played upon it. Her eyes
which at that moment were looking
searchingly into his, were a curious
shade of hazel-soft and promising.

"This seems queer sort of business
Humphreys" his master observed
est down while I ask you a few ques-
tions."
The man established himself on the
extreme edge of a cane chair, dropped
his hat into position by his side and
mumbled half to himself while await
ing his masters interrogation.
"Such a thing has never happened
before in, my recollection. 'Tis a pity
that we did leave off the barbed wire
from the gates. 'Tis the wire that
does more than anything else in the
world to keep out trespassers."
"Was there any vehicle left lying
about? ?" Matresser asked.
"None as did see, Milford"
"Not even bicycle?"
"Not of any sort, MILFORD. It SEEM
ed to me from a casual glance around
like as though he were trying to reach
the Great House by short cut across
the turnips by the side of Farmer
Reynolds covert. A vexing thing for
him to do for we put nine to a dozen
coveys of birds in before shutdown and
there they would have rested for
sure"
"Was he conscious when you found
him?"
ellis eyes were open and he num-
bled summat," the keeper acknowl-
edged, 'but what it was I couldna'
rightly say. Anyway, we put him in
the game cart and took him along to
the doctors. There he be now for
all I know
"Sure he was not a poacher ?"
Matresser asked.
"There one thing can tell zee sure,

nor beast in his life. His hands were

as white as lady's and his shoes
were made of that there patent leath-
er that's only worn by the gentry.
He waren't no poacher and he were
a stranger to these parts. That I can
tell you for sure"
Matresser's fingers toyed with his
small closely clipped black moustache.
"Yet you found this fellow lying in
field of wet roots with nothing in
the world to show how he got there.
Perhaps he was on his way to do a
little burgling up here"
"He didn't look tough enough for
any mans job to me" Humphreys pro-
nounced.
Matresser rose to his feet.
"You had better look in at the doc
tors tonight, Humphreys" he direct
ed. "Ask him to step up and see me
any time after half-past nine."

eyes, tonight I should like to have
his report. I never care about stran-
gers hanging around the place."
The Countess of Matresser greeted
her only son with a welcoming smile
as he entered the drawingroom. She
was wearing a black dress designed
by the Rue de la Paix cuteuriere whom
she visited twice every season, the
two rows of famous Matresser pearls
her only ornament. She sat propped
up by cushions in the enter of a high
backed divan and it was understood
that an invitation to sit by her side
was a rarely accorded honor. She
possessed the unusual distinction Of
having preserved her complexion as
we'll as her figure and Matresser's
bow was one of genuine admiration.
"You are the most wonderful wo-
man in the world" he declared. 81

time to find you younger
She smiled gaily up at him.
"You will have to keep your en-
thusiasms in the future for another
member of the family" she told him.

"Would your ladyship prefer that
came little later?" the young wo-
man suggested.
"Not one second LATER" her mis-
tress replied, glancing at the clock.
"You must attend me at once, Hor-
tense. This is my son who is just
back from abroad. He is always the
severest critic of my appearance so
we must take care to satisfy him to-
night"
The girl curtsied very slightly.
"I shall do my best to satisfy mon
sieur," she said. "With madame as
subject it should not be difficult"
Matresser nodded politely. He was
tapping a cigarette against his case
but he continued to look across to
where the girl was standing holding
the curtain back for her mistress.
her eyes dropped respectfully. Her
manner was a perfect mixture of re-
spect for the master of the house and
interest in his arrival. Matresser lit
his cigarette and offered his mother
his arm.
"What disobedient old dear you
are!" he whispered in her ear as Hor-
tense fell in behind. "Did I not beg
of you-no foreign servants?"
She INDUCED in slight grimace.
"But personal maid my dear Rom
ald," she demonstrated. English
girls are never a success. Don't ter
rify me-" she continued, "you may
find worse to come"
His tone was once more light and
cheerful.

chauffeur and half a dozen Russian

Matresser threw himself into bat
tered easy chair before the fire in the
gunroom, Lit a cigarette and reflected
for moment. A few yards away from
him was Humphreys, the head keeper
standing with hat in hand. It was
obvious from certain. air of tension
and from the mans solemn demeanor
