THE ROAD TO
Is FAME
By ALBERT HlGGINS
Copyright. HB6. by P. C. Eaatment
It was Grandma Foster who waa to
blame for it She came on a visit to
her daughter. Farmer Stebbins' wife,
and found her niece Hattie teaching
the district school and engaged to be
married to a worthy young man named
Hiram Ball. Miss Hattie was fairly
educated, fairly good looking and very
well contented with her life.
. Grandma's coming, however, started
the fires of ambition. Once during her
long life the old lady had attended a
theatrical performance. It was in the
town hall of her native village. The
plfly was "Uncle Tom's Cabin," of
course, and the company was made up
of barnstormers, but it was a great
play, and It made grandma, who was
oury a little girl then, thrill from top
to toe.
Soon after her arrival at the Steb
blnses Hattie walked across the veran
da In a way that made the old lady
exclaim:
. "Bless my soul if that don't remind
toe of Ophelia in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin!'
You've got her walk to perfection.
Child, have you been practicing for the
itage?"
"No, grandma."
"But the way you just turned around,
your looking back at me with your
bead over your shoulder, your smile,
the way you stick up your chin, all re
mind me of Ophelia. You could step
right on the stage and play the charac
ter." That was the beginning. Grandma
announced her great discovery to her
sister and brother-in-law and advised
them to put Hattie on the stage at
once; but, meeting with decided oppo
sition, she said nothing further to
them. Many weee the councils held
between her and the niece, however.
It had been forty-two years since
grandma had seen the historic play
and what she couldn't remember she
imagined.. Within a week she had de
cided that Hattie could not only play
the part of Ophelia, but of little Eva,
"BLESS UT BOI'Ij, IP THIS DON T REMIND
MB OF OPHELIA."
Legree, Marks and even of Uncle Tom
himself. She couldn't fail to be the
whole show, and in four weeks she
would rise from "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
to Shakespearean plays. The old lady
believed what she said, and the young
lady believed with her. Hiram Ball
tried his best to open his fiancee's eyes.
"Your grandmother is a fool!" was
bis blunt way of putting it. "Because
you can smile and giggle is no sign
that you would make a great actress.
You just give up the idea and settle
down and behave yourself."
."Mr. Ball, I permit no one to speak
disrespectfully of my grandmother In
toy presence," replied the young lady,
with freezing dignity, as she took three
Strides to the east and then turned
about and took three strides to the
west.
"Hattie Stebbins, don't make a jay
Of yourself. You'll never be an actress
any more than I'll be Cicero. It hain't
In us."
"Speak for yourself, Mr. Ball. My
resolution is taken. It Is irrevocable.
Nothing that you can say will shake
toe In the least. Destiny calls me."
"What, do you mean to tell me that
you are going to be silly enough to go
on the stage?" he shouted.
"Remember whom you are address
ing, varlet!" she warned as she drew
herself up.
"By gum, but you have gone crazy!
That old grandmother of yours ought
to be ducked in the goose pond. What
does she know about acting?"
"Enough, sir! Here our paths di
verge. From this hour we are stran
gers." "Then go right along and make a
fool of yourself!" called Hiram as she
turned away.
When the grandmother was Inform
ed of the Insidious remarks of Mr.
Ball she held out new encouragement.
She discovered new things to found
new predictions on. The very way
that Miss Hattie climbed a fence, fell
down on the lawn or ran Into a clothes
line proved to her that the girl waa
born for the stage and bad been mol
dering in obscurity.
The district school was continued,
and nothing might have come of the
talk bat for the week's holiday In Sep
tember to give the carpenters time to
make some repairs. Grandma had
gone borne, and now Miss Hattie went
over to the county seat to visit a girl
friend. She and Hiram bad been
'out" for the last three months. In
stead of moping and sorrowing and
breaking bis heart he had again called
her a jay and continued his business
of buying butter and eggs, for the mar
ket A theatrical company playing "Did
She Love Him?" had struck the town
and excited, the people. The actors and
actresses had sauntered about the
street and been the observed of all ob
servers. There was talk of a "tre
mendous cast" and a "carload of scenery-"
There was talk of a "farewell
tour" and "tremendous applause." The
play had run several hundred nights
in New York and the same in London,
and its author had' received over a
million dollars In royalties.
Miss Hattie Stebbins had determined,
from the first to join the company. She
met the manager iir a grocery where
he had called for crackers, cheese and
herring, and, to her intense joy, he
was looking for a young lady to play
second lead. Her salary would be $25
per week. Her part would be to hold
up the train of the leading lady's dress
as she entered the parlor, trim two
lamps and ask the 'feeding lady if she
should turn the cat outdoors. The
manager could promise her no more
just at present as the leading lady
was insanely jealous of her part, but
later on there would be a change.
It was agreed that Hattie should
leave when the company did and make
her first appearance at the next town.
She dodged her friends and was at the
depot as the company made ready to
depart at midnight It departed In
the caboose of a freight train. The
manager explained that they preferred
to travel that way in order to view the
scenery.
There Were five actors and three ac
tresses.' The actors were gallant
enough, but the actresses held aloof
and threw out Insinuations and made
Hattie feel as badly as they could.
There was sleep that night for all who
sat on the floor. In the early morning
the company rolled into ifs next stop
ping place, and the manager took the
upper rooms at the village inn. These
included the garret. He did this, he
explained, on the ground of health. He
borrowed Hattie's watch that day and
forgot to return it
She went on in her part that night
She had studied it for hours and was
letter perfect She fell over a chair on
her entrance, and she fell over another
on her exit, and, though the actresses
sneered and wanted to know if she
thought she was in a cabbage patch,
the manager took her aside and said
he never saw such acting by an am
ateur. She had only to keep on and
fall over four chairs to bring four
rounds of applause from the audience.
He wound up by borrowing her breast
pin. For a whole week Miss Hattie Steb
bins played second lead and rode from
town to town in cabooses. For a whole
week the actresses showed their jeal
ousy of her. Sometimes enough money
was taken In to pay the bills and get
to the next town. Sometimes the print
er and the landlord were held up by
promises. Sometimes the audience
numbered fifty people, and the ap
plause that went up the manager call
ed "positively tremendous." Sometimes
only half a dozen people sat around
and wondered what it was all about.
Miss Hattie had two gold rings, and
the manager borrowed both of them.
She loaned two or three of her dresses
and a hat to. the actresses in the hope
of getting into their golden opinions.
She learned to enter and to exit, and if
she fell down she learned to fall grace
fully on her' shoulder. The manager as
sured her that the pinnacle of fame
was not far away, and everything
looked rosy, when she awoke one morn
ing to find the company gone and to
learn that the landlord was holding her
for the bill.
Luckily her father arrived at that
juncture. There was no scene. She did
not fall Into his arms. She had had
acting enough. He simply took her
home, where she found Hiram waiting
for her. He had been biding his time,
and there was no scene with him ei
ther. He simply remarked that if she
had got over being 4 jay he would
like to revive the marriage question,
and an hour later a female head was
resting on a manly shoulder and gazing
up at the new moon with dewy eyes.
After a long while Hiram gently asked:
"Dearest, what does varlet mean?
You know you called me one."
"It's it's some kind of an animal, I
guess, and I'm sorry," she replied as
she snuggled closer.
Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming;.
An apocryphal book called the "Less
er Genesis" and well known to the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
ful Incident in the life of Seth, the
! third son of Adam and Eve. When
; the goodly Seth was about forty years
of age, he was "rapt" up Into heaven
by a trio of angels and there told and
shown what was In store for mankind.
Among other things, the coming of the
' great deluge was made known to him,
' w was a,so ihe coming of the Saviour,
j When be returned to earth. Seth told
. bis parents what had happened and of
what he had seen and beard concern
ing the future of the human race. "And
I Adam was much grieved when it was
' made known to him that the world
would be destroyed by water on ac
count of the wickedness of bis own
children, but a great peace and calm
ness came over him when Seth told
how the face of the earth would again
be repeopled. His Joy was ex
ceedingly great when Seth related
what was In store In the coming agea,'
' and he was particularly glad to know
that redemption should finally com

THE HOG HOUSE.
Ample Overhead Ventilation Needed to
Avoid Swine Fever.
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation of then
winter quarters, or if they attempt to
ventilate at all they do little more than
leave a few cracks around the bottom
through which the cold air can get In,
but provide no way for it to get out
Experience has shown that drafts are
the prime promoters of colds, which
develop into pneumonia and what Is
generally known as swine fever, says
the American Farm World. It is im
portant that the bottom boards of the
hog house should be thoroughly well
battened, and the divisions between
the pens should be treated In the same
way. -"
Ample ventilation should be provided
from the top of the house and not by
underneath drafts. Who has not seen
hogs piled upon each, other in cold
weather, shivering, fighting to get into
i warm place? UnJer such conditions
It is impossible for a hog to put on
flesh, and there are nine chances In
ten that he will take cold, which may
develop into serious lung trouble.
Overhead ventilation is easily secur
ed by leaving an open space of, say.
six inches between the top of the out
side wall and the roof. An English
farmer who has had great success with
hogs builds his houses with a section
of the wall bung on a swivel pin in
the middle which can be swung open
whenever sunlight and air are needed.
When the section is released it swings
back into an upright position by gravi
tation. . . - .
In order to let the rays of the sun
Into every part of the building the
houses have been laid out north and
south, so that by opening the wall
shutters on the east side the morning
sun is let in and by opening those on
the west side the rays of the afternoon
sun can penetrate to every part of the
house, keeping it sweet and clean.
Honesty In Selling Stock.
There is no business in the world
where reliability and absolute truth is
so essential as with a breeder of blood
. ed stock. He knows all about his
: stock, their strong points and their
weak ones. In his sales he can ad
vance the breed or Injure it and can
help a customer or be his ruin, for his
: customers are entirely at his mercy.
I He can be a man or jockey. A breed
er should be so honest and upright that
a stranger might write him for an ani
mal, telling him the weak points in his
own breeding and rest assured that
what he received would remedy the de
fects. A breeder should feel that in
terest in the success of his favorite
breed that would not allow him to ever
sell an animal to a customer unless he
honestly believed it would be. a benefit
to him. C. M. Winslow, Ayrshire
Breeders' Association.
THE SWINEHERD
Hogs will not thrive in damp, dirty,
drafty quarters, and the man who
attempts to raise them for market un
der these conditions is simply working
against himself. He not only loses
the greater portion of his feed, but his
time and labor as well.
Condiments at All Times.
Condiments must be provided for
the hogs at all times. These are not
costly. , They consist of wood ashes,
soft coal broken into small bits, mor
tar, rotten wood or anything of that
character. Hogs eat these readily, and
they are great aids in keeping them in
health and consequently in growing
rapidly and fattening quickly.. The
animals must have some salt the same
as other live stock on the farm.
Dipping Very Essential.
Dipping hogs is very essential to the
health of the animals. It keeps them
free of mites and scab diseases, makes
them more thrifty and consequently
more profitable. Dipping should be
done twice each year. It is not a diffi
cult operation after the dipping plant
Is established.
Swine Notes.
You can't get the best results by
breeding immature animals.
A good sow in perfect health will
lose flesh while suckling her pigs.
Even the best bred hogs will pat
their feet in the trough if they can.
Burn some cobs to a charcoal and
give the hogs some now and then. It
helps to keep them healthy.
Avoid drafts In the hog house A
hog Is susceptible to colds and rheu
matism as well as people.
Look out for holes In the bottom of
the pen. Hogs are great on the gnaw
ing business. First you know there
may be a hole and a broken leg.
A good hog without a pedigree is bet
ter than a fair one with it
The boar at the bead of the herd
should be changed often. The good
brood sows should be retained as long
as their usefulness continues.
- Breed the sows so they will farrow
In groups of, say, five: The pigs may be
divided at pleasure then, and fewer
sows will be suckling pigs than If the
j pigs come at different times. Besides,
. ft is almost as easy to look after five
i sows as one.
Convenience In feeding and watering
stock is a thing to be sought for by all.
Especially is this true of swine, where
there is so much feeding and watering
to be done. It Is quite a chase to keep
the watering troughs free from ice In
freezing weather.
Every fine day give the brood sows
exercise In the open air. Scatter a lit
tle shelled corn en the ground to en
courage them to move around.
Fresh clean water should be given
to the hogs every day to drink; also a
good allowance of roots should be given
them daily.
!
SOAKING STOCK FOOD.
Some Hints For Breeders Ly Professor
Thomas Shaw.
Food is seldom soaked far horses. In
the true sense of soaking it is proba
bly never thus prepared. ' But when
horses are worked hard it has in many
instances been found profitable to chaft
the hay and grind the grain aad to mix
the grain with a sufficiency of cut hay
which has been moistened with waier.
When horses are on short allowance
for time to eat they can take more fosd
In a given time thus prepared than if,
given in the ordinary way.
Bran is also fed to them occasionally
as a mash that is. water is poured on
it, frequently hot and the mass is stir
red so that it all becomes moi;t Thus
prepared the bran can be more readily
eaten by horses, and the influence on
the digestive tract is also probably
more helpful because of the moisture
than if the mass had been fed dry.
Food is seldom soaked for cattle. The
chief exception is corn. ' It is n it soak
ed when thus prepared for them in or
der to make it more digestible, but be
cause of certain exigencies that ariso
relating to the feeding. When corn
gets very dry, especially on the cob.
and is fed to cattle for a long term of
feeding it is liable to produce soreness
of the mouth. When this result fol
lows they are chary about consuming
it and do not eat enough to produce
the ' gains that are sought. Experi
ments have shown that corn soaked
for swine does not produce more gains
than when fed dry. Cattle not only
moisten food well while masticating,
but the fluids are abundant with which
It comes in contact In rumination' and
also in the various processes of diges
tion. Sheep do not require soaked food. In
fact, it would be more or less distaste
ful to them. They have an almost
marvelous power of masticating food,
so that it can be completely digested.
Nearly all If not indeed all the small
cereals are greatly improved for swine
by soaking them. In some instances,
when the weather will admit of it
they may be soaked for at least three
days. Usually, however, they are fur
ther improved by grinding and also by
soaking subsequently. When thus pre
pared they are more readily consumed,
somewhat more easily digested and
will be consumed in larger quantities.
It is admissible in the winter to
feed whole grain other than corn to
swine well advanced in growth and to
brood sows when scattered on a hard
and clean feeding place. If fed in a
trough it will be consumed so quickly
that much of it will escape digestion.
Professor Thomas Shaw.
Fertilizing Value of Food.
In fattening cattle the value .of the
manure is usually set off against th"
cost of labor. The fertilizing value .
a ton of clover hay at present prices
for nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash is estimated at above $7. With
the grains fed the fertilizing value
varies, but it is highest with those
that are more nitrogenous. Of the
fertilizer ingredients consumed in the
feed over 90 per cent is distributed up
on the land in the manure. Professor
D. W. May, Kentucky Experiment Sta
tion. THE HORSEMAN
Horses seldom suffer from decayed
teeth, but because of the upper teeth
closing on the lower ones a little on the
outside points sometimes are formed
which lacerate the cheek or penetrate
the gums, creating a tenderness that
prevents the proper mastication of
food, annoying the horse so that he
falls away very rapidly.
To prevent sore shoulders of working
horses H. E. Cook recommends perfect
ly fitting collars, fitted to the shoulders
by working the horse in them after a
thorough soaking of the collars. He
would avoid sweat pads under all cir
cumstances, except where they become
absolutely necessary because of lack
of properly fitting collars.
One of the most important items in
the welfare of a horse is a plentiful
supply of pure, fresh water. Water
should be given the first thing in the
morning, and It should be offered the
last thing at night when the final
round of the barn is made.
Teach the foal to eat early. A few
ground oats and bran with a little milk
is a desirable ration. The foal will not
take much at first but will soon show
a readiness for hearty meals. In the
early part of the season it will always
pay to allow the foal to suck some
time during the forenoon and also In
the afternoon, giving the mare a drink
and a few oats to eat while the foal is
sucking. It will benefit both the mare
and the foal. John Gardhouse, Onta
rio. It Is easier to keep colts from learn
ing bad tricks than to break them of
these habits. For that reason have
every strap and rope used by the colts
so strong that they cannot be broken.
Once a colt finds out that he can get
away from a baiter or other part of a
harness there will be trouble perhaps
for all time.
Always be careful to give the mares
plenty of exercise in winter after the
work on the farm is done.
It is a great mistake to overfeed or
pamper a horse beyond a certain stage.
When straw is used every spear
should be taken out of the stall every
morning. The soiled and wet parts
should be put on the compost heap
and the rest put in the sun to air and
dry for use the following night .
Heating a horse isn't so dangerous.
If s the cooling off.
A healing liniment much liked by
horsemen Is made as follows: One part
liquid carbolic add, four parts glycerin
and six parts sweet tie.

IPS &r i Cfl
That all cream Is not good cream is
a fact generally conceded by careful
diarymen. The surest way to improve
its quality is to improve the quality of
mi'k. Even where a great deal of care
is exercised in milking and afterward
straining and cooling it often happens
that there will be some taint or bad
flavor. Sometimes the fault is with a
single cow. It may seem to be charac
teristic of her milk at times or the
whole herd may yield an ill flavored
product for a day or more, due to hav-.
ing eaten moldy feed, turnips, garlic
or obnoxious weeds or forage. The
tream from such milk is not relished;
neither is the butter which is made
from it and It hardly pays to spoil
a good reputation at the creamery or
store by getting rid pf an occasional
poor product in this way.
Some work has been done of late at
the Virginia station that promises to
improve the quality of cream from
milk of an inferior grade.
When the" Milk la "Off."
As soon as the milk is found to be
"off" in flavor the cause should be
learned. If one cow is causing the
trouble heep her milk out and treat It
separately.- As the acids and bad fla
vors are largely found in the milk se
rum the cream should be skimmed as
close as possible. If setting pans are
in use some form ' of skimming cup
should be used that will allow all skim
milk to drain off before it is emptied
into the cream Jar. Thus the bad fla
vor will largely be eliminated, where
If the milk had been mixed with that
of the herd of the bad flavor It would
have permeated the Whole milking.
With a separator the bad flavors can
be eliminated much more completely.
If only a part of toe milk is tainted
the cream can be separated, then mix
ed with skim milk from an untainted
product and separated again. The
same end. could be accomplished by
setting the cream screw to skim very
close, but the cream would not be uni
form with that of the usual run.
Skim as Close aa Possible. .
When the milk from the whole herd
is tainted the above plan must be re
sorted to that of skimming as close as
possible. A good machine can get most
of the cream in about one-tenth of the
weight of the milk. Such cream should
test around 40 per cent and will be al
most, thick enough to cut. Practically
all the milk serum has been eliminated,
and with it have been taken the taints
and ill flavors also. It is not likely that
more than one or two milkings will be
so contaminated.
Close skimming with the separator is
a good practice at all times. Cream
that will test 30 per cent butter fat
will stay sweet longer than that con
taining more milk serum, testing, say,
20 per cent. A good method of improv
ing the quality of cream as above sug-
ested should be of considerable value,
specially to the individual who retails
cream to private trade. As a means,
however, of producing a good product
it should be of secondary importance.
The primary object, says Homestead,
is to produce clean, pure milk; then
good cream will be insured.

Dutch System of Feeding;.
The Dutch system of feeding and
rearing the famous Holstein-Friesian
cattle is simplicity itself. The calves
are given whole milk until about five
weeks old, when the ration is gradual
ly changed to skim milk and grain.
The grain is cooked or steamed and
fed with the milk at first and later fed
dry immediately before the milk is
given. ' When grass is available, It
forms the entire ration for heifers, and
during winter the rations are only suf
ficient to keep them growing. Bulls
are fed in the same manner until they
are a year old, after which they are
closely confined, but regular exercise
is given daily. Bulls used for breed
ing are kept In stables or paddocks
and are well fed, but not allowed to
become fat. Roots in winter and green
forage Ja, summer axe largely .sd,
Rheumatism In Hogs.
At this season of the year, when the
weather changes are frequent extra
precautions In the hogpen will pay.
Avoid damp , bedding and, above all
things, shut off the cold, damp winds.
Hogs that are well kept are especially
susceptible to rheumatism. Now, don't
go and turn your hogs out In the cold
In order to make them hardy, so they
will be able to ward off the disease.
It will be more profitable for you to
give them reasonable protection. On
the other hand, do not think it neces
sary to have a frost proof, air tight
hog house. There Is reason In all
things, especially In caring for hogs.
