With the Aid Of Whittier By OTHO B. SENGA Copyright, 2&04, by Otho B. Senga “Aren’t you glad you came, Mal ■eoimV” The girl's voice was sweet and joy -ous, and she looked with a bright smile into her companion’s somewhat afloomy face. “I suppose you've been very happy here, Winifred,” avoiding a direct re ply. “Indeed I have,” enthusiastically. ’“They've been the four happiest years of my life. Weren’t the class day exercises beautiful 7” “Very pretty, Winifred,” absently. His gaze was fixed on the laughing throng—the easy, debonair young men in evening clothes, the girls with their white dresses and fluttering ribbons, flitting about like gay colored but terflies beneath the swinging Japanese lanterns, congratulating, chatting, moving on again in seemingly endless procession. “What is the matter, Malcolm? Did you think it was silly—the ‘daisy chain?' ” “No, Winifred, I thought it all very interesting, and you girls in your white gowns looked very beautiful.” “But there is something, Malcolm,” persisted the girl, “and you haven’t *aid that you are glad that you came. It is a long journey to take just to attend the graduation of—of an old friend, and I’d like to feel that you are glad you came. You do not act as If you are happy.” “I am glad I came, Winifred, for I’ve learned many things, but I can’t truthfully say that the knowledge makes me happy.” The cluster of roses at the girl’s breast trembled like thiugs endowed with sentient life, but the girl only ■said gently, “Well?” “It is not well,”' he answered in a voice harsh with repressed emotion, “not for me. When you left Bloom ington four years ago we were en gaged—a tentative sort of an engage ment, I admit, which your parents allowed because they knew that with jour disposition opposition would only make you more determined and be *‘BUYING \ TITLE WITH YOUR BEAUTY AND YOUR FATHER’S MONEY.” cause they were wise enough to look ahead—to this. They knew then what I begin to see now,” bitterly. The girl made no answer. Sho hard ly seemed to hear the harsh, bitter trones with the half hidden strain of anguish. “For four years vou have lived like this,” a slight gesture indicating the fairy land before them. “Your daily association has been with persons of refinement and culture. It is all about you, everywhere, in the very atmos phere. While I,” he laughed grating ly—“l have improved my mind and elevated my tastes by herding with a lot of ignorant Scandinavians. I've hardly spoken to another person.” “But you’ve been successful, Mal colm,” with gentle sympathy. “In what?” shortly. “Why, father said”— . “Oh, I know what he said. I know his acceptation of the word success. I’ve made money. I'm the richest young man In the county. My farm is a model. It is conceded that I can get more work and better results from my men and with less dissatisfaction than any other man in the state of Kansas. But what am I? A boss, the leader of a gang of fifty Scandinavian farm la borers. Except for the few paltry dol lars I have made I might as well be one of them. I'd be just as fitting a mate for you. When I listened to your valedictory I heard the tolling of the lrieU of all my hopes. Any one of my men would have understood as much of what you were saying as I did.” “Malcolm Bell, how utterly absurd and untrue!” He hurried passionately on, as if she had not spoken. “I can make money. That is a qual ity your father can understand and ap preciate. lie might be w lling perhaps to allow the engagement to stand, but your mother—she is looking for you now,” he added, hastily drawing the girl farther back into the shadow of the group of elms. Winifred looked across the brilliant -campus. Her mother was coming, and in her heart Winifred knew that Mal colm’s unuttered words were true. In the eyes of the ambitious matron this young man’s standing was very far from the heights for which she had destined her beautiful daughter. She had forgotten the day twenty-five years ago when she had given her hand to the young carpenter whose yearly earn ings then would scarcely have sufficed to purchase one of the rings she wore now upon her plump white fingers. “Let us walk in the other direction,” said the girl calmly. “I do not care to go with mamma just now—and I think.” she added naively, “mamma will enjoy herself better if she doesn’t find me.’’ “You’re good to stay with me at all, Winifred,” said the young fellow bro kenly, “and I’m a brute to intimate anything savoring of a lack of respect for your parents, but your mother told me this morning that she meant to take you abroad next year; that there was uo need of a girl with your beauty and brains marrying a ‘mere American,’ es pecially since your Uncle Joshua’s death had made your father a million aire.” “Poor Uncle Joshua!” sighed the girl tenderly. “Buying a title with your beauty and your father’s money!” hotly, “it made me terribly angry, Winifred. I know how unworthy I am, and I am going to give you up. But to think of your be ing snatched away”— The girl laughed a low, sweet laugh of Infectious merriment. “Malcolm, you are too funny! It is just as you were when we were chil dren. You are willing to give away your cooky, but you won’t have some one come up and grab it.” “1 suppose I don’t say things right. Winifred. I haven’t a college educa tion. you know”—the hurt showing in face and voice, “I’m not willing to give you up. but I’m going to—for your own happiness. You will meet many other men far more worthy of you than a rough farmer like me. But. oh. Winifred, there’ll never be any one wlio can love you more than 1 do! Winifred. Winifred!” He made no attempt to touch .her. On the contrary, lie drew farther away, as if to emphasize the gulf he felt must lie between them. For a few minutes neither spoke: then the girl said gently an: l , with seeming irrelevance. “Malcolm, do you recall Whittier’s idyl of ‘Scarce.mp Water’:’ You recited it once in Sei: . >!.” “I have forgotten. What war. ft like. Winifred?” She evidently wants to leave an unwelcome subject as soon as possible, lie thought, cut to the quick by her seeming indifference. “One stanza has a particular bearing on the present situation,” she said slowly after a pause. His heart thrilled at her voice, but his treacherous memory gave him no clew to her meaning. “Could you repeat the stanza, Wini fred?" ' Her face paled, then flushed painful ly, but she looked brave ly up into the somber face and repeated with quiver ing lips: “Nor frock nor tan can hide the man. And see you not, my farmer. How weak and fond a women waits Behind the silken armor?" Back from his schoolboy days came the next line, and he caught her in his arms with a low cry of happiness. “Is the next true. Winifred? Can you say ‘hat, too?” he whispered. “It has always been true.” she an severed softly. “The years have made no change in my heart, and I love you.” Iderds and Home Life. A point was well made by Mr. Ed ward Howard Griggs at the conclusion of a lecture on “How to Attain Our Ideals.” He had paused for questions from the audience, and one man said something to this effect: “Yes. these are very fine things you have been say ing to us. Those of us who can see at all what you mean are eager to bring it into realization. But we are often terribly hampered. What can you say— what hope have you to offer—to a wo man who, herself capable of holding these ideals, is tied to a man who is utterly incapable of any higher concep tion than that of bodily comfort?” “You have touched,” said Mr. Griggs, “upon a tragedy so profound that 1 have no words in which to answer you.” A silence fell upon the great au dience. Presently he broke it: “But this I can suggest, that very often those who most quickly and intensely grasp ideals are unwilling to take the necessary steps to realize them. There are orderly means to the attainment of every ideal. It is never reached at a bound. Only by patiently establishing each step before it goes on to the next can the human spirit reach its goal.”— Marion Foster Washburne in Harper’s Bazar. Old English Gardening;. It is a little curious to think that even as far back as the middle ages a great quantity of “garden stuff” was imported into England from the conti nent. Although our ancestors were fa mous in those days for their salads and greens, they knew nothing about the cultivation of edible roots until the reign of Henry VIII. Up to then such things as carrots, turnips and arti chokes were sent from Flanders, and special messengers were sometimes dispatched to bring back supplies for the royal table. Among the green vegetables most popular in Tudor days was “Good King Henry” or “Mercury Gooseloot.” Those who would like to have a really old fashioned vegetable in their gardens are advised to try “Good King Henry.” Nothing could be easier to grow, and as it is a per ennial plant there is little or no trou ble connected with it after it has onee been put in the ground. The young leaves are used in the same way as spinach, making an acceptable, mild flavored dish, and the young shoots are cut under the ground and served up like asparagus.—London Chronicle. Treatment of Brood Sows The annual loss of brood sows is a serious matter to the industry, while that of young pigs is simply disastrous. Last spring we visited a stockman who had saved but five pigs out of some fifty farrowed on his place. In addi tion to this loss five of the sows had died. The pigs mostly came dead or died within a few hours after birth. The sows we have been speaking of were heavily fed on corn, which fat t'-rs i.nu constipates, and were not giv en exercise enough to keep their blood circulating. Constipation was the nat ural consequence, and where it exists it is useless to expect healthy pigs. Where, on the other hand, sows are fed some succulent food in addition to a little corn and nitrogenous foods, such as middlings, brau. oilmen), dried blood meal or tankage, and are made to take plenty of exercise every day. their muscles are kept in healthy condition and their bowels regulated as they ought to be. Where this is tlie case the sow gets ready to farrow naturally. Let the pregnant sow be made to go outdoors every day to stir about and :ork for her living. Sprinkle grain under deep straw or litter in a large shed when the weather is bad and have the sows root for it there. This rooting insures exercise of about every muscle of the body. The amount of grain tak en in the exercise time is unimportant. The food used should simply be some thing that the sows like. Corn will do as well as anything and will not hurt in cold weather when plenty of exer cise is take'll. Asa succulent food si lage has been used to good advantage in place of roots, and clover hay is also useful cut up and wetted with water and then mixed with a little meal. Slop may also be made laxative by the addi tion of a small quantity of flaxseed meal daily, and at the slightest sign of cos tiveness it is an easy matter to mix small quantities of epsom salts in the slop until the bowels are properly regu lated.—Li v Stock Report.

Train ins; the Colt. If a horse is kindly treated and made a pet he becomes very fond of his mas ter, says Farm Journal. But his affec tion is different from that of a dog. which continues to love his master even though the latter abuses him greatly. Rough, unkind treatment will quickly estrange the affection of a horse. His good horse sense discerns no particular reason why he should love a master who habitually maltreats him. A horse trainer should bear two things in mind: To keep the animal’s affection, for without it his obedience is forced and headway in training is slow, and, secondly, never to allow him successfully to oppose his will to yours or he will remember it and try it again. Life of Slieep. Sheep are really long lived animals, and with good care they have been known to live and bring lambs up to fifteen years old. This age is reached, however, only under the best care and special feeding. Pasturing is not so conducive to long life as special feed ing, in which roots are used abundant ly-. On tiie whole, it is not profitable to keep sheep over six or seven years, which is about the average life of a 3heep under good ordinary care. Hog; Notes. Proper shelter will not only keep the pigs in better condition and guard them from disease, but will also econ omize the feed. See that the cold winds do not blow under the pen. Drafts and a cold bed are fatal to profits with pigs. Do not neglect to give the hogs some bright clover hay. See how they will enjoy it. It will be good for the diges tion. Renew the pan of charcoal often. — Farm Journal. WINTER CARE OF EWES. They SWnUd Be In Good Flesh at Time. Success during lambing and shearing time depends largely on the care the ewes receive during the winter months, writes a New York farmer in Ameri can Agriculturist. It will pay every herdsman to feed so as to get the best results. Individuals and flocks may need different treatment. Every farm er should know the habits and peculiar ities of the breed he is keeping. The aim should be to keep them in a condi tion that might be called fat. When ewes are firm fleshed through abundant feed and exercise they are vigorous, and a healthy offspring will follow. This ration has given excellent results: One-lialf pound of bran and oats, two to three pounds of succulent food and about the same amount of. clover hay or cut corn fodder. As lambing time approaches the grain ration should be increased to about double the above amount. The strength of the fodder and grain should be taken into consid eration, being careful not to overfeed, which is most dangerous, especially when there is lack of exercise. A certain amount of exercise is re quired to give strength and prepare for the lambing season. The most impor tant coarse fodder is bright clover hay and a good quality of cut cornstalks. These may be profitably alternated with good, bright oat straw, pea straw and millet. Each of these has its relative merits, but none compares with the first mentioned. As to grains, the most paying results have been obtain ed from oats and bran. Corn should not be fed to breeding ewes at all, as it lessens their vigor. Succulent foods, which are called for at times, should not be fed too heavily. But just before lambing time they are required in con siderable amounts. It seems to be a sheep’s nature to relish them. Turnips are preferred to most other roots. The Swedish turnips are of about the same value as the round ones, and many prefer them. Mangel wurzels are a good feed toward spring and of much value. A knowledge of the flock and the exercising of good common sense will usually give the desired results. Feeding the Brooil Sow. Feed sows slop made of middlings and milk or warm water once a day and a moderate ration of whole oats one part, corn one part, once a day. Clover hay may be fed chopped or whole. If chopped or cut it may be well mixed with the slop, in which case It would be found a very satisfac tory supplement to middlings. On well managed hog farms breeders have a supply of roottf. such as sugar beets and mangels, *as succulent food of some sort is very desirable. The sows should also have access to salt, char coal and ashes. Antiquity of the Cotswold. The Cotswold must be one of the old est breeds of sheep, for tradition has it that King Richard I. (11S9-1199) sent animals of the breed to Spain and that it was from these, always famous for the excellence of their wool, the Meri no breed was raised, which breed was introduced in England at the latter end of the eighteenth century. O 0 IKE FEEDER’S CORNER o- o Judgment is needed in the feeding of roots to hogs. They like the roots and will sometimes eat more than is profit able for them to eat—that is, they fill up on roots, and the work of the stom ach goes to digest a lot of material that has in it very little nutriment. When water is given in addition to the roots the result is even more in the direction we have indicated. If the hogs have a good quantity of roots, they should not be given water, for the roots are almost nine-tenths water. But it is better to give the swine some water and reduce the amount of roots they are to receive. Roots are a great adjunct to the grain ration. Grain For Slieep. In feeding grain to sheep besides leading to a larger development of young sheep it will Increase the weight of mutton sheep and improve the qual ity of the meat as nothing else will. It Increases the weight and quality of the fleeces. Best Feed For tlie Horse. Oats contain the greater proportion of flesh forming elements and corn th>* greater proportion of fat forming ele ments, and this is why oats are the best food for horses. Pumpkins as Hog; Feed. The Oregon experiment station made a test of the feeding value of pump kins in which they were valued at $2.50 per tou and shorts at sl2 per ton. These two foods were fed a period of nearly two months. The pumpkins were cooked and fed at the rate of 8.14 pounds to each pound of shorts. This ration proved satisfactory, and the pigs gained 499 p<s*nds at a cost of $2.90 per hundredweight. The total consumption was 7,523 pounds of pumpkins and 924 pounds of shorts. Cottonseed Meal Fop Cattle. F. B. Mumford of the Missouri ex periment station writes to Breeder’s Gazette concerning the value of cot tonseed meal for beef production. From six years’ experience in feeding cottonseed meal at this station we be lieve that it will pay well to feed cot tonseed meal at $23.50 per ton to cattle on full feed in winter when corn is worth 45 cents a bushel. Bran and Corn For Calve*. Equal parts by weight of corn and cob meal, oats and coarse wheat bran make an excellent ration for growing calves, especially if good clover or al falfa hay is available as roughage. If oats are not available, then use three parts of bran to one part of corn and (job meal.—Cor. Breeder’s Gazette. OFFICIAL DIRECTORY. Countv Officers. County Ju(lxo .... W. H.
