So the days slipped nay, rippled

Gradually Miss Townley became able
to move about ia her wheel chair. Dr.

her with a loving care that seemed
pathetic to me. for I felt that there was
a story to his life that no ne knjw and
which still withheld its sequel.
One night there was a fearful storm.
The wind blew a perfect gale and
hurled the sheets of falling rain against
the window panes. The thunder drop
ped its heaven forged bolts in quick
succession, while tfte lightning kept the
scene brilliant as day.
Dr. Bronson was in and out of the
wards all night, but he went oftenest
to Beth's room to ask:
"Are you nervous in this frightful
storm?" '
She would answer softly, "Oh, no,"
and then having no excuse to remain
longer he would pace the halls nervous

Increased. lie thought once bitterly:
"Oh, if she would only show some
sign of fear or distress that I might go
to her and do something just to be
near her!"
Here he -was interrupted by a tre
mendous crash. It seemed as if heaven
and earth were clasped iu close em- j
brace and were swaying and rocking
In the furious blast.
With one bound . he was at Miss
Townley's bedside. She lay there
white as marble, her forehead cold
uud her lips blue. The corner of her
room next the street was blackened
and burning.
Seeing that no time was to be lost,
he gathered her in his strong arms and
carried her to the ward across the hall
and laid her down and seut at once for
me.
In the hour that followed Dr. Bron
son hung over Beth, using every means
to save the life that I saw had become
o dear to him.
The fire did little damage, and as
soon as the storm rolled away to the
east. Its mutterings growing fainter
and fainter, we saw Beth's pale lips
grow pink, her eyelids quiver and then
slowly lift and the eyes rest on the
doctor's anxious face.
"Thank God!" came quickly from
his Hps, and he knelt beside the little,
low bed and bent his head on her out
stretched hand. Is it unmanly to
weep? Some say it is, but the noblest
tears I ever saw shed were those that
fell from Dr. Brouson's eyes. They
were me spray irom nu ocean ueep

The next day she was taken home.
The west wing of the hospital was
closed for repairs, and the patients
were moved to another floor, and I
6aw little more of Dr. Bronson.
Then one day a thick envelope came
for me, and upon opening it I read
these words: "Mr. and Mrs. George H.

their daughter, Elizabeth Walker, to

THE HORSEMAN
Q
The time to teach a colt to back Is
when he is a colt. A good way to do
this is to put a halter on him, lead
him out of the stall, take hold of the
halter close up to the chin, then gently
but firmly push back, saying over and
over again: "Back Back!" He will
soon take the hint, and a little prac
tice will make perfect.
Heavy Horses Profitable.
Heavy horses are more profitable
each year in spite of the gasoltie en
gine and the more common use of
steam. Well bred, heavy horses, serv
lceably sound and well broken, sell
readily from $150 to $200. Farmers
hesitate to buy light horses far farm
use, and after one has had experience
with a good heavy team he will nevei
go back to light horses for farm work,
no matter how much heavy stock
costs. Horsey weighing 1,300 to 1,600,
pounds are of Inestimable value on
any farm. Here is a suggestion foi
farmers who can raise a few colts
each year. Raise none but the best.
See that they are heavy horses of the
' popular breed in your own community.
In many places Fercherons are ravor
Ites, while in a few sections Shires
and Clydes are wanted. In many
' places Belgians and Suffolk are be
coming popular. These latter ar
compact, very heavy and are giving a
good account of themselves wherever
introduced. American Agriculturist.
Briefs For Breeders.
A change of work often means a rest
to the team, says Kimball's Dairy
Farmer.
Be very careful of the colt during his
first year's work.
The scrub horse, like all scrub stock,
fails to pay big profits.
The excessive use of the whip brands
the driver as a brutal man.
Clean the collars often. Dust and
sweat make them rough and sticky. .
Take the shoes off your horse and
give them a vacation on good pasture.
Have plenty of light in the stable.
From now until next June you need a
lot of sunshine.
The Buckling age Is a period of rapid
growth. See to lt that the colts ara
not stunted at that time.
A low standard of horsemanship can
not appreciate the fine points of a
horse's disposition.
To go two or three miles at too rapid
a gait is harder for a horse than to go
five times as far If property driven.
The government has made an appro
priation of $50,000 for reclaiming and
perfecting Morgan horses as a distincl
breed.
Ignorance of his real nature more
than downright abuse is the cause ot
much of the 111 treatment given the
horse.
A good farm mare and a Percheron

THE BREEDING PEN.
AM Expert'. View, mm to tne Qaalltlea
fBePerpet ted.
In the making up of the breeding pen
ZSLkL nt n imnnrtant
f actors to be dealt with If success Is to j
be expected, and I - will point out a
few of the more Important ones to be
dealt with, says Rev. C. E. Petersen in
American Poultry Advocate. '
Ko birds should be used which are
not sexually mature, healthy and In
full vigor, as only from healthy and
mature stock can a 'healthy progeny
be expected.
If Immature birds are used the prog
eny will suffer, which is proved yearr
ly by the markedly higher death' rate
among the chicks hatched from such
immature stock birds. . .
Stock of advanced age should npt.be
used either,' as, for reasons that are
obvious to the observer, no good results
can be expected.
There is no need .for me to explain
that the chicks are in everything, es
sential the ; creatures of, their . parents
and of .their ancestors ; that it is on the
whole predestined by the nature of the
germs from the combination of which
the chicks emanate what they are to
be. . - -
This is good and sufficient , reason
why the utmost care should be used in
the selection of breeding, stock and In
formation as far as Is possible obtain
ed as to the ancestry of the, birds to be
used In the breeding yard, for by no
means everything that is given us is
good. The parental germs themselves
may, to begin with, be possessed of In
herited deficiencies, or they may have
suffered by Injuries which affected the
parental body, or they may have been
imperfect because of the Immature or
advanced age of the parents.
All kinds of malformations are he
reditary and should under no circum
stances be permitted in the. breeding
pen, however slight, r.s the tendency in
every instance is to exaggerate these
deformitie
I said all kinds, whether Inherited or
acquired, as the last kind will In. time
become hereditary, and even if In oth
er respects the bird should be desirable
leave it out of all consideration for
breeding purposes, as the result in a
very few generations will prove disas
trous.
T!nwnl1-tr niiKnitihta f or . nrcereation
are specimens whose physical develop
ment is not complete or whose sexual
character is Imperfectly marked.
Remember that potency is just as
much hereditary as any other faculty
and Is indeed of the greatest impor
tance, as thi3 particular faculty is the
rejavenator of our strain.
And wherever a bird proves himself
strong in this particular and gives ev
idence of continued strong potency for
uprpral grpiiM-ntinns such a bird should
1 be treasured and his strong potential;

"Stnffy" Houses Canse Catarrh.
1 A writer In American Poultry Advo
cate, in answering the Inquiry of a cor
respondent whose flock Is suffering
from acute catarrh, very sapiently-ob
serves: Unless you handle the affected
birds carefully acute catarrh will run
into the roup stage. I have met many
cases of this character caused by too
little ventilation at night. Close,, hot,
stuffy houses and coops are behind
many of these cases. The gospel of
fresh air is doing much to prevent ca
tarrh diseases in our birds. Increase
the amount of air supplied your birds,
Do this by removing windows making
openings if needed and cover with
wire netting to keep out vermin. Get
the chicks into large coops with wire
front. Let all birds out of the houses

How to Confine Leghorna.'
The usual method of keeping Leg
horns is to confine them in yards hav
ing fences about six feet high and with
reasonable yard room they will rarely
fly over, especially if there Is no post
top above the wire for the birds to
alight upon. Fowls almost never fly
directly over a fence, but fly up on to
the top of It and then fly down. Tak
ing advantage of this habit, it is easy
to stretch a couple of strands of wire
above the fence posts with slim stakes
to .support them. When a bird' files up
to light on the post top the wire pre
vents, and the attempt is rarely re
peated, .

CUT GREEN BONE.
It M "f""Vr '
ood Vert F.rP.nltrr.
" Isn't hard .to see why fresh cut
green bone has given such phenomcnai-
ly successful results to poultry rais-1
ers the world over, says a writer in
Western Poultry Journal.
It simply is the most available food
product that has yet been disc?verea
to supply fowls with the elements most
Gifllcult to get from grain and most
needed to make bone, to make mus
cle, to make feathers, to make eggs, tc
maintain health, vigor and vitality.
That's why green bone doubles tha
egg yield. ' .
It contains more than four times tae
egg producing value of grain. - y
That's why green bone makes eggs
more fertile. . '
It tones up the entire systezh and
fills the head of the' flock with , vim
and vitality. ' . v'- -
That's why green bone; makes stron
ger, livelier chicks at hatching.
Bone fed hens lay eggs with lue
and vitality in them. J
"That's J why green bone develops
earlier broilers and earlier "iay"ors.
It promotes growth and the develop
ment of bone and muscle by providing
atundant material for making bone
and muscle.
That's why green bone makes heavier
market fowls.
It gives a good framework to ( start
with and helps lay on heavy flesh.
That's why green bone .makes red

T3ie Molting: Period.
The best care should be taken of oui
fowls to keep them in good condition
during the trying period of molting.
It is a great drain upon their vitality
t3 grow a new coat of plumage. Toe
often the needs of our fowls are total
ly Ignored during this really critical
season because they have dropped off
iu egg yield, says American Poultry
Journal. It is best to select such
fowls from one's flock as you desire
to retain far breeding and market the

on time spent on our Biddies getting
their "new clothes" as lost, not giving
due credit to them for the long months
of faithful service given in filling the
egg basket and hatching and rearing
our young birds. In consequence
when eggs grow scarce we call into
use the hatchet, and not Infrequently
the most useful members of our Cocks
lose their heads because of the ragged
condition.
Farmers and Pocltry.
The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac
tical utility, says Farming. Whether
the hens from which he has been
breeling were .producing sixty eggs a
year or 200 made no difference. His
whole aim has been to breed out a foul
flight feather or two or to create a bet
ter comb or eyes of a better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else. ,The re
sult Is that when a farmer goes into
the market to buy thoroughbreds with
his money in his pocket ready and will
ing to pay for the best stock he not on
ly often pays for qualities he does not
need, but actually pays a premium for
something that has been obtained at a
sacrifice of the very qualities which he
does need. There are a few men, how
ever, raising thoroughbred stock that
is "bred to lay" or to meet certain mar
ket demands, and those are the men
that should be patronized.
White Holland Turkey.
The white Holland turkey is said to
be a native of Holland. This breed of
turkeys as described by the American
standard of perfection is far and away
a larger and much more beautiful fowi
than the common white turkey of Hol
land. The standard weights are: Cock, 2G
pounds; cockerel, 18 pounds; hen, 18
pounds; pullet, 12 pounds. Disqualify
ing weights: Cock weighing less than
20 pounds; hen, less than 12 pounds.
The plumage Is pure white through
out; shanks and toes, white or pinkish
white; eyes, hazel; head, rich red.
changeable to bluish white.
Bad Hablta la Poultry Culture.
There are a few bad habits in poultrj
culture. Among those none are so in
jurious as lack of exercise, overfeed
ing, overcrowding and the presence of
insect vermin, says the Feather. The
union of these four destroys many that
migh otherwise be prosperous flocks,
and this can be. traced to either tha
ignorance or neglect of the attendant
Esther or all should be blamed upon
the caretaker. In this day of poultrj
enlightenment no one can present a
reasonable excuse for Ignorance, and
there cannot be any possible excuse
offered for carelessness or neglect
TMn-rtmr PnUei Maturity.
You can keep pullets back from lay-
ing by moving them from one place to
another as soon as they show decided

who wants to get large size on his
Barred Rock pullets follows this plan
each, season, with the result that he
holds them back an average of about

begin to lay they lay larger eggs than
do small pullets and. keep right along

SENSIBLE YARDING.
PI am Recommended ly a Well
Know. Aarrlealtaral Authority.
A style of yarding recommended by
Professor James E. Rice of Cornell
College of Agriculture and . shown
herewith consists of a long or contin-
uous house 240 by 15 feet, divided Into
pens 15 by 1G feet, there being. sixteen
pens or fewer, the same proportion, of
course, being maintained. This is a
most convenient arrangement, says
E. Keyserdn Poultry Success. The
yard is 300 feet each way,-containing
y '
80,000 square feet or pasturage for 800
or 900 fowls. ' The pens are ample for
fifty fowls. There are a little over two
acres in the yards. A method followed
with similar yards is to confine the
fowls to the north yard about Aug. 1.
Then the south yard' is plowed and
about Sept 10 sown to rye and grass
seed, or chyver may be sown on the
rye in' -the spring. . When the rye has
made a good start, say the middle of
October, the hens are turned on it and
allowed to run there until confined to
the house for winter. .
In the spring the north yard is plow
ed and planted to corn, which is culti-
-soa-

vated in the usual way. After the
last cultivation and the corn has readi
ed a considerable height, which will
be about the 1st of July, the hens are
n Unwed to run in both yards. The
corn affords them shade, and they wal

well cultivated. They will get some of
the lower ears, but on the whole the
erop will be about as large as if the
hens did not occupy the yard. They
will not have been able to stamp down
the rye, and. some of this grain will
ripen. If the hens do not secure it all,
it may be cut and used for winter lit
ter. In September the hens are again
confined to the south yard, the corn in
the north yard is -cut, the land plowed
and sown to rye, and the following sea
son the south yard is planted to corn.
This gives a constant rotation of crops
on the land, which keeps it sweet and
at the same time affords' considerable
food for the fowls.
