How much better, when you have a new home, to start right than to have
to correct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when
you come to the use of Alabastine, as does nearly every one sooner or later.
Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it
should you desire, but having used Alabastine you will have no desire for
any other treatment.
Alabastine is so easy to mix and apply - so lasting in its results - so
absolutely sanitary - and so generally recognized as the proper decorative
material in a class by itself that it is becoming difficult to manufacture fast

WHO NAMED PONT D'ARCOLE?
Only Legend Relied On to Account
for Appellation Given Famous
Bridge in Paris.
Though it is getting on for nearly
a hundred years since the old Pont
de la Greve in Paris has been-known
as the Pont d'Arcole, nobody yet has
been able to give chapter and verse
for the change. Now that the anni
versary of the three days of July, 1830,
the 27th, 28th, and 29th, which Paris
dubbed Les Trois Glorleuses, has
ceased to be kept, it is likely that this
age of local history will remain ob
scure. In the old days the Pont de
la Greve was merely a footway for
passengers. In the troublous year when
Paris rose, the Tuileries palace was
sacked and the king fled to England,
a young hothead leading a column of
insurgents charged across the bridge
with a flag in his hand shouting
"Follow me! and if I fall know that
my name is Arcole'"-or Darcole. So
runs the legend. The famous incident
at the Pont d'Arcole when Bonaparte,
flag in his hand, heading his grena
diers, beat the Austrians, must have
been some reason for giving the
bridge the name of Pont d'Arcole a
few days later. There Is no. record
of who gave the order for the change.
No record at all of anything connect
ed with the incident. It is one of the
minor "mysteres de Paris."-Christian
Science Monitor.
Plenty of That.

Tuberculosis Among Brood Sows
Is Not Serious Menace to
Their Progeny.
THUMPS CAUSED BY WORMS
Pigeons and Other Birds Wrongfully
Blamed for Spread of Hog Cholera
-Canning Sausage in Oil Is
Being Investigated.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Tuberculosis among brood sows does
not seem to be a menace to their
progeny if other exposure to infection
is eliminated, experiments recently
completed show. Feces of tuberculous
cattle have been found to be the most
danigerous tuberculous material to
which hogs are exposed under natural
conditions.
It now appears that the disease
known as thumps in young pigs may In
some cases at least he the result of
intestinal worpis, which in the lirvnl
state migrate to the lungs, causing
pneumonia. Glome very thorough work
leads to that onclusion, and research
is now being alrected to prevent infec
tion of suckling pigs with this para
site.
Immature and Hairless Pigs.
The disease causing the birth of int
mature and hairless pigs seems to Fie
most prevalent in the far West. Its
investigation is being continued.
It appears from experiments with
hog-cholera virus and the ways in
which cholera spreads that pigeons
and similar birds are unlikely to
transmit hog cholera.
In the field of meat inspection, the
cause of ham souring has been worked
out.

preparation of this product have been
adopted.
Bacteria in the carcasses of hog
cholera hogs have been studied.
Prevent Entry of Dirty Water.
The process of dehairing and wash
ing hog carcasses in packing establish
ments has been investigated and meas
ures adopted to prevent dirty wash
water from entering the wound in the
neck and penetrating the blood ves
sels.
Studies of trichinae in pork have
been continued, and the results, which
obviate the necessity of microscopic
inspection for trichina, have been used
as a basis for revised meat-inspection
regulations.
PROTECT MACHINES ON HAND
Avoid Needles, Exposure to Weather
and Lubricate All Bearings to
Prevent Rust.
All practicable steps should be tak
en to preserve machinery now on
hand. Needless exposure to the
weather should be avoided, and in
cases where it is not practicable to
house machinery when Idle, all bear
ings should receive a thorough appli
cation of heavy oil or grease to keep
out moisture and prevent rust. On
many farms machinery could be more
adequately sheltered in the buildings
available by exercising care in placing
them so as to economize space.
STUDY DEMANDS OF MARKET
Uniform Color of Eggs and Flesh Is
Always Most Desirable--Mixed
Flock Not Wanted.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Every poultry raiser should make
a study of the market demands. A
uniform color of eggs and flesh in
poultry is desirable. A mixed flock
will not produce uniform eggs or meat,
and eggs from such a flock are not
desirable for hatching.
SILAGE FOR STOCK CATTLE
Splendid Resulta Produced When Fed
in Connection With Cottonseed
Meal or Alfalfa.
Silage alone is not first-class for
stock cattle, owing to the fact that it
is poor in protein, but sllage fed in
connection with a little oil meal, cot
tonseed meal or alfalfa hay produces
splendid results.
Greatest Value of Silage.
Perhaps one of the greatest values
of silage lies in the fact that it en
ables the farmer to greatly increase
te carrying capacity of his farm.
Not Working for Profit.
The farmer who does not feed every
,int of waste milk on the farm, sweet
or sour, is not working for the greatest
profit.

An emergency county agent at Con
:ers, Ga., was the first to request en
•oliment blanks for distribution among
lie farmers of his section.
EFFICIENT WAY OF HAULING
Farmer Should Not Drive Home With
Empty Wagon After Taking
Crops to Market.
The farmer hauls his potatoes and
other crops to town during the fall
and winter, and drives home with the
empty wagon. In the spring, when
farm work starts, he drives in with
an empty wagon and hauls out lime,
machinery, seeds or fertilizers. He
might far better order these goods
early and haul them home when he
brings in his crops. In other words,
haul a load both ways, and save one
trip. All farm supplies, such as ma
chinery, lime, seeds and fertilizers,
should be ordered early and hauled
home. If not ordered until spring, the
railroad will be unable to ship them.
A "load both ways" means efficiency.
BEST SILAGE IS FROM CORN
Greatest Gains Made With Beef Feed
ers When Kernels Were;
Dented or Glazed.
Silage made from corn when the
kernels were glazed or dented pro
duced the greatest gains in beef feed
ing experiments conducted by the ani
mal husbandry department of the South
Dakota state college. The poorest gains
from silage were made by steers receiv
ing silage made from corn when.the ker
nels were in the blister or milk stages,
Silage from corn in the dough stage
produced nearly as great gains as the
more mature corn. The better the
silage the less was required for a
pound of gain.
FEED TROUGH FOR PORKERS
Device Should Be Constructed in Man.
ner to Prevent Crowding and
Each P~g Get His Share.
Construct a feed trough for pigs in
such a fashion that the porkers can
not get their feet into it. This will
lessen the possibility of crowding.
Young pigs should be given their feed
in such a way that each individual pig
will get .its share.
ADVANTAGES OF SILO
If corn is cut at the proper
stage and put Into a good silo,
the whole corn plant is eaten.
Silage is more convenient to
feed than any other rough feed
commonly used on the farm.
Silage is both palatable and
succulent.
The addition of a succulent
feed to a ration increases the
digestibility of the dry feed
eaten.
With a silo it is podsible to
save corn that might otherwise,
owing to immaturity, be largely
wasted.
Essential of Good Drain.
The first essential of a good drain is
an outlet. A drain which has no place
into which the water can flow is like
a man dressed up with no place to go.
Carjng for Frosted Corn.
It early frost badly freezes your
corn, cut it instantly. Put it into the
silo green or set it in shocks to caure.
Eggs Spoill Quickly.
Fertile eggs spoil quickly during hot
.keather.
ROBIN'S LANE
By IZOLA FORRESTER.
Hardy had been home a week. and
still he felt like a stranger ini Taft
ville. Not but what everybody \wel
corned him, but they did it in an l easy
going sort of way that left his own
enthusiasm cold after ten years of an
ticipation.
He had been twenty-four when he
had started West. There had been two
incentives, his father's demand that he
throw up engineering and go into the
store, and Winifred's refusal to marry
him.
His yearning to make good and show
them the sort of man he really was
had been the spur all the years he
had worked and climbed. Winifred
had told him she liked boys who were
"steady." That meant the hardware~
store, and "Irving & Son" on the long
black and gold sign over the door. Ile
had laughed bitterly, out in the lonely
Arizona nights, before he had struck
his right place, and yet there had been
the sting of homesickness in it too.
With all the joy of adventure and ex
perience, the little mill town on the
Yantic river back in Connecticut was
home to him, and Winifred was the
only girl who could bring a thrill to
his heart, just little Winifred Blake
with her big blue eyes that seemed to
challenge a fellow to do the very best
that was in him.
He had seen her only at a distance
since his return-once in church, twice
down along Main street when she was
waiting for the car. Then he met her
on the old hill road coming from the
reservoir Saturday afternoon, her
hands filled with violets.
"You know they always did grow
longer and larger up there, it seemed,"
she said, as he waited beside her in
the road.
"I was going up after some," Hardy
told her awkwardly.
"Take the short cut through Robin's
lane, why don't you? Do you remem
ber the way?"
And Hardy deliberately prevaricated.
No, he was sorry. Hie had absolutely
forgotten the short cut. Wouldn't she
just turn back and show It to himn?
Winifred hesitated, laughed a little
and looked as if she didn't believe him.
"We always went that way after
violets, Hardy," she reminded him.
"It's just the little lane below the big
woodlot. You know it so well."
But Hardy shook his head, looking
down into her eyes until she ignored
him, and watched the fringe of pines
and red oaks ahead of them, with slen
der white birches lifting tremulous
new leaves In the sunlight.
He had made up his mind all the
way home that he would ask her again.
She had only been seventeen then.
Now she was twenty-seven, and it
seemed as if the years had only made
her sweeter and more desirable. There
was something indefinable about her
now, something that evaded him. She
seemed sure of herself poised and tran
quil eyed, more tender, -tdo, in her
way. It must have been lonely for her
there in the little mill town.
"See the island over yondei-," Wini
fred said suddenly. They had come to
the crest of the hill overlooking the
reservoir. It had alwa'ys looked like a
miniature western mountain scene, the
broad lake with its rocky pine-edged
shores, and rocky islands here and
there. "What splendid times we used
to have up here, Hardy."
"I've never forgotten one of them,"
he said slowly. "When you're a thou
sand miles and more away from home,
only memories seem real."
"I know," she rejoined quickly. "All
the time I was in Japan I felt that way,
and when we were sent down to the
Philippines It was even worse, for
there I would meet somebody from
home once in awhile, and everything
they said made me want to take the
next boat back."
"You've been away?" he exclaimed.
"With Aunt Dora and Uncle Phil,"
she nodded her head. "There were so
many of us at home, and when he was
sent to the East by his company, he
wanted a secretary, so I coaxed him
to take me. Then he died in Toklo,
and because I understood the trade
situation pretty well, they made me
sales manager instead of trying to
break in a new man. Ive only been
home about two months. They want
me to try South America this time,
but I'm tired of it. I suppose women
are just tabby cats after all. You
work and make believe you like it, and
all the time you're thinking of some
cozy corner to curl up in and rest,
I'm going to buy the Prendergast place
and fix up the garden beautifully, and
have five cats."
Hardy laughed, laughed until she
turned to look at him almost resent
fully. He was so tall and broad shoul
dered, so' resolute and sure of himself,
just as she remembered him. One rea
son why she had gone away was to
show him that girls didn't have to stay
at home.
"You can't buy It," he told her teas
ingly, "because I knew you loved it and
the deed is waiting for me now. We
could make it the homestead, Winnie.
I'11 have to go West now and then, and
I want you to come along. I want to
show you all the places where I've
thought of you and told myself to keep
up my nerve and go back after you
and make you say yes."
Winifred looked up at him over the
violets held to her lips.
"I always wondered why you stayed
so long," she said. "I thought you
were just a quitter, Hardy, when you
didn't take me with you before."
