fla'xl, ‘‘he divined that Mr.

Pierpont really leaped at him.

precisely as lie leaped at
Sehuy himself, five years ago.

raised heaven and earth to se

solutely on his awn instinct

will lose interest in him, and he

«f the end of his devotion to
Schuyler Chase, and Schuyler
knows it. And so do T. And T

are right—he isn’t so well as

Sally gave him a faint but
grateful smile. Then she said:
“You say—‘anything we can
prevent.’ We can’t prevent
Mr. Pierpont’s being interested
in Gordon Maekay. We should
n’t want to prevent it. There’s
nothing wre can do except try
to help Schuyler through a
trying time.”
“A word in Maekay’s

But at this, sparks leaped ’
into Sally’s lovely eyes.
“Don’t dream of saying one
word to Mr. Maekay,” she
cried, under her breath. “He
has every right to have this
chance come to him, if it’s
coming. Not even for Sehuy’s
sake would I try to prevent it.
No, he must bear it like a man
— and he will. He will, Rich.
I know him better than you
do.”
A slight sound behind them
I caused both to turn. A tall
figure stood wavering in the
doorway. Black glasses made
a pale face look paler and lips
seem nearly colorless as they
asked a sharp question:
“What is it I’m to bear like
a man?”
Sally’s wits worked faster
than Fiske’s, and she resisted
the impulse to spring to her
feet and run to her husband’s
side. Instead, she only said,
in a matter-of-fact way: “Rich
lias just been telling me that
he can’t let you get hack into
the pulpit by Octobet. He
thinks you’ll go to pieces over
such news, but I say you’ll |
bear that disappointment, like
a man. I really don’t think
you yourself expected to he
back by then, did you, SchuyT’
Schuyler dropped his long
length into a chair, setting his
lips. “You were saying more
than that.”
“Yes,” said Richard Fiske,
promptly. “I was saying that
the Angel Gabriel wouldn’t
enjoy having to take care of
himself instead of floating
about the skies on missions to
the benighted. But that you’d
have to do it, and not bother
your heal over having other
angels filling in the gaps.”
They couldn’t pull the wool
over his eves, lie had heard
too much. He had seen, mem
go into the house, had stolen
in after them, and understand
ing that they were talking
about his ease had been unable
to resist listening just outside
the door. Now, bis heart beat
ing heavily, he had revealed
himself, because he literally
had no strength either of body
or of will to go back to his
deck ebair on the lawn and
cover his dismay.
Now Sally did spring up. for
she saw that he needed her.
She brought him a glass of
port and a tinv sandwich. As
he lifted the little glass he
looked at her.
“It feels like a last Com
munion.” he muttered.
She dropped upon her knees
beside him. and when he had
drunk she took away the glass.
“Sehuy,” she said, with a cer
tain sweet sternness he was
■ accustomed to in her when she
felt thnt his emotionalism had

lips were trembling, but his
voice rang with the quality of
a sudden hysteria. “I can
stand having anybody ta,ke my
place except (Jordon Mackay1”
he cried. “If he does I’ll go
mad. I warn you—I'll go
mad!”
“No, you won’t dear.” Her
voice was steady, though she
was frightened at his amazing
loss of self-control before Rich
ard Fiske, in whose presence he
had always kept the proud
front of a man whom the doc
tor could respect as well as ad
mire.
At this point Fiske got up
and came over to his patient.
“He’s all in, Sally,” he said
quietly. “Don’t try to argue
with him. I’m going to put
him to bed.”
An hour afterward, when
Schuyler was asleep, under the
influence of the sedative the
doctor had administered, Fiske
said to Sally: “He overheard
all we said, I’m positive of It.
The blow’s fallen, and it’s not
strange it knocked him down.
I could curse the stupidity that
made me bring you away to
talk about him where he could
suspect it and follow us and
listen. But what’s done is done.
The thing is now to let Mackay
know—”
But again Sally confronted
him with her determined oppo
sition. “I’ll not have one thing
done to prevent Mr. Mackay’s
taking that place if it’s offered
him,” she declared. “Sehuy’s
part of me, and I haven’t fall
en so far as that. Neither will
he, when he’s over the first
shock. Promise me on your
honor. Rich, you won’t say one
word to Gordon Mackay about
this. Promise!”
“Tt might save Sehuv a ter*

about it.”
‘‘I ean’t help it. Afterward,
the strain would be greater,
realizing he’d been so weak.
We’ve no right, no possible
right, if this big thing is on its
way to Mr. Maokav, to take
one step to prevent it. Oh, no,
Rich!”
Iler eves held him. He
looked deeply into thorn,
searching them, his heart ex
panding with his devotion to
her and his pride in her.
‘‘Lord, but you’re game!”
game!” he said. ‘‘And, of
course, you’re absolutely
right.”

“Well!” Mackay came to a

“I’ve broken them all, then
Mr. Robert Burns. I’ve no idea

“Don’t you want some
help?”
“I’ll be delighted. Mrs.
Chase expressed a wish for
some blueberries, and I
thought I knew where they
grew. But I’ve found so few
I can hardly fill this small
pail.”
He vaulted the fence and
reached her side. He Icoked
into the pail, and shook his
head. “Hardly fill it! It isn’t

see a blueberry on these
bushes. It’s too late for them,
anyhow. Must Mrs. Chase
have the unattainable?”
“She must, because it’s for

whatever he fancies she tries
to get.”
“111? Is he worse? I’ve been
so busy this last week with one
call and another I haven’t
seen him for several days.”
“Yes, he seems much worse.
He seems very unhappy—very
deeply depressed—much more
so than before. I’m afraid
something's happened to make
him so, for it came on quite
suddenly.”
Mackav looked sober. He
made no further motion to dis
cover berries which didn’t ex

if he were considering some
thing. Then he spoke abrupt
ly
“Miss Jenncy. how deep are
you in the counsels of the fam

help him?”
Jo stopped examining bar

him, staring across the pasture
toward distant hills.
“I wish I could,” she said.
“My mind is full of plans to
be of use to both of them, but
it’s difficult to discover ways.
I’m sure Mrs. Chase is very
anxious about her husband,
and I have an idea that you—”
She broke off, and Maekay
wa'ted for her to speak. Then,
as he watched her beautiful
brows knit, as if with perplex
ity. he said:
“Don't hesitate to tell me
what that idea is. Evidently
you do hesitate. Be sure I’m
very eager to do whatever I
can do, as you are. If you
know anything I ought to
know, please ten me.
“I do—and yet I’m not sure

“That makes it certain that

“Then go ahead I think of

11 OF INTEREST TO FA RMERS I ll
BE AN OPTIMIST
Under the caption: "Better Times
Ahead.” the Iowa Homstead says:
The total production of farm crops
in the United States has. as is gen
erally known, increased since 1830,
but the per capita production has
declined. We are speaking now of
this period of 37 years as a whole.
During this time there have, of
course, been exceptions to this gen
eral trend, but as a whole, popu
lation has increased more rapidly
than production. The downward
trend in per capita production has
been distinctly noticeable in the last
15 years. In 1926 and 1927, for ex
ample, the per capita production of
crops was 8 per cent, less than dur
ing the five-year period of 1910-1914.
In fact there has not been a year
since 1920 when production per per
son of the entire population has
been as large as it was before the
war. If this trend continues, soon
er or later it is bound to have an
effect upon the general price level of
farm products.
Were we not going through a
change in production methods, in
slowly substituting mechanical pow
er for horsepower, the smaller per
capita production of crops would be
much more in evidence than it ac
tually is at the present time. There
are men who believe it is a mistake
for agriculture to make Increas
ingly large use of mechanical pow
er, because it cuts down the market
for feed crops. There have always
been people who were opposed to
change. It was so when the self
binder came into use. It threw men
out of work and therefore was con
sidered by some as being detriment
al to the general welfare. The same
theory is back of the opposition to
the substitution of mechanical pow
er for horsepower, which not only
reduces the amount of man labor
required to produce a given amount
of grain, but which also cuts down
the amount of grain used on the
farm and causes the farmer to buy
more nonagricultural products for
which he must pay cash.
We doubt that anyone could be
found today claiming that the farm
er or the country as a whole would
knifa U/iam r e i — \ t
WVUVVA Vt A WW4 V A A V* CVAA
binder and other similar labor sav
ing machinery never been invented.
Similarly we believe that the day
will come when no one can be found
arguing against the U3e of mechani
cal power. The chances are that 50
years from now the absence of me
chanical power on the farm will
seem as primitive and as undesir
able as the cradle appears undesir
able for harvesting grain today. The
tendency in this country is and al
ways has been to substitute power
for man labor. This will -ndoubtedly
continue as long as our civilization
stands. While we count such changes
as progress they disturb our routine
and compell us to readjust our
methods of work. In a progressing
world man must constantly make
readjustments and agriculture
is no exception to this general rule.
With the population growing more
rapidly than production of crops in
spite of the increasing efficiency of
the individual farmer, the future
of agriculture looks brighter than
any past which anyone knows any
thing about.

CAKE OF PULLETS
Growing pullets need close atten
tion during the summer in order to
develop into good layers says a suc
cessful fancier.
"The ideal pullet is one that is
free from disease and parasites;
carries enough vigor, reserve weight,
maturity, and breeding to maintain
continuous gh production of mar
ketable egg.. throughout the year,”
said Mr. Gooding. "These specifi
cations are adequate for securing
the best birds passible for tne nock
which will produce a flock average
that w’ould make any poultryman
feel good.
“To produce high quality pullets,
brooding and summer care need
special consideration. Any method
of rearing that produuiis pullets
that are most profitable on the
home plant is the one to follow.
Setbacks caused by chilling or over
heating in the brooder, piling up or
crowding, infestations of mites and
lice, internal parasites or disease
are likely to reduce the annual lay
of the pullet even though the dif
fioillflf WOO norrnof n ik-I via
dent ill effects noticed.
The best practice in handling
summer feeding seems to be to feed
moderately a good growing mash
and plenty of wholesome grains; to
provide a clean range supplied with
shade and green feed and let the
pullet develop normally. A ration
for growing pullets that has given
good results at Purdue consists of 15
pounds each of ground yellow corn,
wheat middlings, wheat bran and
five pounds of meat scraps, with
yellow com hopper fed. It might
be that the pullets will eat more
corn than mash when fed this way.
If such is the case the com should
be hand fed so that the pullets will
consume about the same amount of
com as they do mash.

KILL! ‘ QUAC K" THIS MONTH
Fighting quack grass is about as
mean a job as any tnat exists on
American farms. Experience has
proved that it is almost impossible
the eradicate the grass completely,
once It gets a start and extr/.ds its
rootstocks in the fields, arid that
ordinary cultivation is Just about as
bad as leaving the weed alone.
The ideal weather for killing
quack grass is hot days and cool
nights, with Just enough moisture
in the soli to keep the grass grow
ing. In midsummer, say in Julv.
when the grass becomes sod bound
and the plants are in bloom, the
roots accordingly are weak. This is
the time to plow Just deep enough
to get to the bottom of the root
stocks. Turn the furrows flat and
cover the leaves completeiv. and
then let the field alone for about lu
days, or until new shoots appear.
SPRAYS NOT DANOCROUA
Many people who use spray ma
terials in their orchard* believe that
livestock which may get Into the
orchard will be injured by the poi
son used. Experiment* have been
conducted penning sheep, rattle and
horse* In fruit crrhards that were
very heavily sprayed with arwnlc
and other spray material*, and al
though these animal* had no other
feed than tin grows growing undrr
the tree*, the) showed no 1U effect*

When the new growl h Is an inch
high, give the ground a thorough,
crosswise harrowing, pre.erably
with a spring tooth harrow, and
bring to the surface as many root
stocks as possible. Continue this
operation with each new growth
until lrost.
The field should remain rough
over winter, so that the rootstocks
will be exposed to frost. In the
spring, loosen the rootstocks from
the soil and plant a cultivated crop,
such as corn or soybeans, that may
easily be cultivated in rows Follow
this with a smother crop; that is,
a crop that will produce a rank
growth, such as millet, sudan grass
or buckwheat.

PREVENTION OF FLIES 4
The approach of fly time reminds
us to suggest the cleaning up of such
places about the barn and yards as
afford breeding places for these
pests. Flies that annoy cattle are
hatched mainly in manure. Horse
manure s«ems to be preferred al
though cow manure and piles of
fermenting ^traw are known to be
breeding places. Horse manure
should not be allowed to accum
mulate in the yards near the barn.
Aside from great annoyance to cat
tle, flies are great carriers of bac
teria, some of which may carry dis
ease to these who drink milk con
taminated thereby. Producers of
high quality milk know that flies
must be controlled if certain stand
ards are met. Now is the time to be
gin controlling flies by cleaning up
their breeding places.

PLAN TO USE SOME LIME
Nearly every farmer can well af
ford to use a little lime this year.
If for no other purpose than to
show himself what lime will do
where needed. The value of show
ing his neighbors this in many
cases will hasten the time when that
community will get together on a
liming program.
The following essentials should
be looked out for: Use of right
amount according to soil need «as
shown by a chemical test), and fol
lowing with a legume crop. The
plot where lime Is used should be
clearly designated by stakes or
some check strips clearly marked.
Convincing oneself that lime pays
is only a part of the need, as many
farmers scattered over the district
believe in lime, but can nm secure
sufficient interest to get their
neighbors to co-operate in securing
lime.
THE RROODY HEN
Each flock owner has his or her
own notion of how to persuade
broody hens to return to better be
havior. If one has a sure-fire
method of breaking up their desire
to keep the nests warm, hang on
to it, for good metnods are scarce.
The best method we ever saw to give
such hens something different to
think about was an ordinary com
merciai crate nung on tne ground
by a single hanger attached to the
center of the crate. When a few ,
broody hens are put into a crate
hung in this manner there is created
an action resembling a combination
of merry-go-round and teeter-totter.
It’s hard for hens to concentrate on
hatching out chicks under such cir
cumstances. The crate is lowered
for feeding and watering the hens.
COD-LIVER OIL FOR HENS
Cod-liver oil i3 an important item
In winter rations for poultry be
cause it helps to maintain egg pro
duction. pervents lameness, and
helps them lay strong shelled eggs.
It contains vitamins A and D which
promote growth and maintain vi
tality and disease resistance. Cod
liver oil is essential to hens that are
closely housed during the winter.
Vitamin D in the oil is a substi
