An, ao Ova yeara bad gont by, and till Mlaa 'Mibeth'a secret waa dis ruaaed by tba goaalpa, and atlll tha only potnt they could fully agree um waa that thera waa certainly a man In tba rase, when, ona day, tha new a came that at fight, tba neit evening, tha lilac train would paaa through en muta for Montana. Every one fn tba llttla town knew what tha coming of tha lilac train meant, for It waa no new thing tbla lending of a carload of bliwaomi, aoine tlmea into tha mining towns of tha North, where the breath from tba ml tera destroyed every vestige of vege tation; sometime to the towna neatled high up the mountain aldea, and shlv ered with their aummer froaia aud tha biting wlnda from tha eonw flelda around tbetn. Only tha leaf-year, Lead villa had been brlgtitened by the com ing of lie "lilac train," for ao It waa called, although thera wera alwaya other klnda of flow era and uaually but ona rarlaail; but, though the ahelvea t ona end of tha car held potted planta and cut flowers of every variety. It waa the lllaca that wera loaded, by trucka full, aa the train atopped at one atatloo and then at another, i "That's a pretty cnatnm you bava here In Utah." Mlaa 'I.UIietb bad aald ,to tha neighbor who, In passing, bad noticed her itmdlng by a lilac bush, Vsresslng a blossom aha had plucked, and had told ber about tha coining of tha Iliac train. "They aay that np In Itutta and Anaconda and tlmea other 'Montana mining towna, thera la not a tree, abnib or plant growing out 'of doors. I heard of ona email aialea thit Sold eaally fur fifteen dollars In Itutta. What a sight It muat ba to those people to see a whole carload of blossoms coming Into their midst!" 'They say they are as delighted as If a carload nf gold nuggeta wera be ing distributed. Will you unload your buah, there, for their benefit T "Indeed, I shall ba only too glad to send some nice bouquets. I lova lilacs," and as ah stooped to pick up tha flow er aha had dropped, her friend passed on, remarking: "Well, I muat ha off." and flld Hot ea tha tenr In Miss 'I.Uheth's eye, nor notlca the tremor In her vole. ; That, night, Mlas 'I.Uheth sat ilone on ber little front porch and witched tha moon com ilowly up from behind the greitt mass of the Wlhaatch rings, and ssll off Into tha blue vault above, and is she watched she thought : "Yea, I'll do It. It can't do any harm. If It falls Into fteuben's himls, he'll understand what It means. If It don't, why, the bloaHoms will cheer soma one'a heart, and the other, will Just eiclta little curiosity. Five years sgo, day after tomorrow, I got off tha train here, and Iteuben went on up North. Tha lilac train went Just ahead of hla, and I picked up ona of tha blossoms that bad fallen when they wera loading, and handed It to him. I don't know why I did It ; Iteuben had never inked for a promise of any kind from me, but I bad read aomnthlng In hla eyes, sit that year when I was hoarding it his mother's. And his treatment of me, ton, was another thing. It would com to meet nie and walk bom with me, and would aak, so gently, If tha dsy bad been M bard on. II waa such great, good hearted fellow I No, I don't know why I did It, but when I handed him the blossom, I an Id, 'I'll wilt for you, Iteu ben, for years, If It Is necessary,' and 'then I turned and fled to (lie waiting room, and his train wss Just starting, 'so ha could not answer, but I knaw hla heart" There Miss 'Mtbeth heaved sad little sigh, and sat .tupping her lips with the lilac blossom she had taken from her belt. "I wonder why ba never wrota to 'me," she mused on presently. "I ex pect be fulled In bis mining and was dlscoursgsd. I know Iteuben loved tue," aud the little woman blushed as If she bad been talking to Reuben him self, "yea, be did. 1 know be did, and I'll do It I" aud tbeo aba aroae iud went Into the bouse. v Tbe next day, Mlaa 'Llxbeth want down town, looking bar beat In a pretty dark-blue suit, with a neat walking hit to match,, and returned In an hour, with a tiny envelope in ber liund. Liter In the evening, she started out with two large bunches of lllaca, and If tbe gossips bad mat her, they would bava noticed certain guilty look ehs wore, and would bav declared that the, drunken busband' bid been around lately. An Impatient crowd of people hsd been standing In tbe rulu, since the esrly morning, expecting momentarily to bear the whistle of the engine that would bring the lilac car Into the Butte depot The noon whistles bsd sounded ; atlll no evidence of the coin ing of the lilac car; atlll a pouring rain and atlll a waiting miaa of people. Twelve-fifteen thirty forty-five a whlatle and the crowd began to surge forward. Into the depot the engine panted, and with a about the sniious, weary waiters welcomed the men who stood on the platforms, with sruis full of blossoms. "Throw them this wsy, psrdner." "(live US few, over bete." "Don't forget us. We can't get any cloaer." Such were the cries that csme up from varloua quarters, as men, women snd children, resrhed snd scrambled for the flowers that came pouring upon them. Coming with quick atep, down one nf the streets, wss a man roughly dressed In a miner's garb, and close behind hits, another, did In a neat brown business suit "Now, I do wonder If t am too lite for tbe lilac train," soliloquised the man In tbe lesd. " Twill be the first one I have missed since I csme Into Montsns. rive years ago, she gave me bloaaom that had fallen when they were loading the Iliac train, snd then aha aald, 'I'll wait for you, Ben bea I' 8 lie read in my face what I did not have tbe manhood to tell her. Hha muat bava been sorry for me then, and ao apoke, before she thought, but sf terwsrd, she grew sorry for herself, I suppose, when shs resllied what aha bad done, for aba didn't answer thst letter I wrote, as soon ss I got here, telling her bow gladly I could work now, knowing thst she wss waiting for nie. Well, she'd bad to watt a long time, for luck waa againat me, right along, but I didn't care elnce she wasn't wsttlng for me, after all. She waa In earnest when sbe said abe'd wait I am aura of that And now. If only t could aend ber a meaaage, say ing, 'I in coming. iteuben,' It would ba worth all these yesrs of work snd discouragement. I've seen people from there, many times sltice, but they didn't know that I knew ber. snd I never asked shout ber I wss afraid, some how, of whst they might tell me. till shout a month sgo, when the 8weet I.

Ah, I sra not too late," for he bsd come In eight of the car, and In another moment' he atd ths man In brown, who hsd kept even pace with him, for a block or more, were grasping frantically at a large bouquet that came over the beada of the crowd, within easy resch for them. "There, stranger," exclslmed the miner, "I best you on thst catch, but there are enough here for two, so I'll cut tbe string snd 'divy' up, ss we ssy In camp." "You are 'generoua, air," anawered hla late rival, "and I will gladly pay you any aum yon may name, for my share of tbetn.

Alvoayt Mo$t Pleating Nearly everyone likes the smells of freshly cut flowers, of violets, roses and others that belong to the sweet smelling vsrletles. Hut psychologists who bav studied the matter scientif ically find that flower odors are not really the onea moat Intensely and unlversslly pleasing to the buman nose. This distinction belongs to tbe spicy odors' such aa cinnamon, clovea, nut meg and tha othera of similar charac ter. Anion J hundreds of persons test ed, alwaya With odors thst they could not Identify by seeing the flower or In any way except by tha aena f smell, not one person failed to describe faint smell of cinnamon as being pleasant whll number of persona were found t vole against each ona of the flower .Mors. Htni COMFORTABLE HOUSE ENCOURAGES FOWLS The poultry bouse Is both tli borne of tb ben snd the factory where win ter eggs are produced, snd uuless It provide eultable living and working condition! the ben cannot be expected to lay well. To be comfortable tbe bouse must be dry, well ventilated, well lighted snd hsve sufficient floor spsce to provide exercise by scratch ing. Dryness Is Insured by having a good roof, keeping tbe floor of the bouse higher than tbe surrounding s-ronnd anil hv riroirlrif n mtuui uantltu. tlon. Ventilation must supply plenty ef fresh sir without drafts. This is secured by having tbe south side rela tively open and tbe other three skies! absolutely tight. Tbe Importance of light In tbe poultry house bss not been properly emphasised In the psat Ite cent experiments with artificial llghta show that by furnishing more light ao that the working period for the birds Is lengthened the egg production can be materially Increased. In many farm poultry houses no windows are provided and tbejiouse Is In constsnt twilight on cloudy dsys even when the door Is left open. Needless to say, this condition does not fsvor sctlvlty on tbe pert of tbe ben. To Insure good natural light In a poultry house the openings In tb wslls should equal sbout one-fourth of the floor space of the house. At lesst half of these open ings should be for open-front ventila tion, and the wlodowa ahould be so arranged that tha maximum amount of aunilght will be available to the birds. Wherever poaslble windows should be placed In the east and weat coda of tha building so thst ths esrly morning snd Iste sfternoon light will be se cured. To Insure room for scratch ing not only must sufficient floor spsce be provided but tbe droppings muat be kept off the floor snd a deep litter of atraw or similar msterlsl be sup plied so thst the birds csn be made to scratch for tbelr feed. To keep the droppings off tbe floor every poultry house should be provided with a droppings platform srrsnged under nesth tbe roosts to rstcb the manure. Dried Buttermilk Found Profitable for Poultry At )he Indians experiment station seversl tests bsve slso been mads with dried buttermilk for lsylng hens. In one of Its bulletins on this subject A. C Phillips, who conducted the tests In which dried buttermilk wss com pared with liquid buttermilk, ssys: The Income from the liquid butter milk fed pen wss 17.1.1; from the dried buttermilk-fed pen, 11.21 ; snd from the no-mllk fed pen. $i39." Ststlng the ssme facts In different words, Mr. Phillips continues: The profit over feed cost from tbe liquid buttermilk fed nen wss MM: from the dried but- I termllk fed pen, $3.00; snd from the no-mllk-fed pen, 78 cents." Thus w see thst the pen fed dried buttermilk aa protein carrier, made the largest profit per bird per year. The pen tlist received no milk of any kind netted less tbsn $1 per ben per year. In addition to getting more eggs from the dried buttermilk then from the liquid buttermilk, thst In stitution also obtained greater hatcha blllty In the eggs from the dried but termilk pen then-from the one fed liquid buttermilk. Emden Geese Popular The Emden breed of geeae Is one of the best known snd most popular of sll the vsrletles known. Individuate of this breed are large, and beautiful ly formed. The bsck Is fslrly straight while the under pert of the body Is csnoe shsped, or, almost crescent. They hsve blue eyes, orsnge bill shsnks snd toes snd pure white plum age. 8lr.e and vigor are the principal features to be considered when mating these birds. It Is quite common for the femsles to develop a "dewlsp" or loose pouch of akin under the body. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Poultry Facts 1 1 H I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 1 I 1 1 Keep strong, healthy, vigorous stock and csr for It properly.

Twi good cslf rations are aa follows: 1 Corn, three pounds; bran, thro pounds; outs, three pounds; ollmenn one pound. . 2., Corn, five pounds oats or bran, thre pounds; ollmeul on pound. Kfis WATER FOR COWS IN WINTER IMPORTANT Many cows fall off In production In tb winter time either because they do not receive enough water. if be cause tint which they do receive is too cold. A iia high-producing cow needs eight to fifteen gallons of water dally, depending on tier feed; and If she does not get It ber milk will drop. In the winter time, If the 'cow his to suck water out of a hole in the lee or drink out of a trough which la lce-( cold, she will not take enough to sup ply her needs. Particularly tbla Is true if she his to go fur to get It In cold, stormy weather. Further, this I'-e-cold wster cools down ber body thst she has to use a lot of her feed to produce heat to restore j'ci temperature. Thus, too cold water wastes feeds, snd this Is true for sll dairy animals as well as tb cow in milk. If the animal shivers after drlnitlng. the venter Is too cold. Automatic drinking buckets In tbe stable assure the animal of plenty of wutir which will not be too cold and are Ideal equipment for tbe dairy bam However, It Is entirely possible to pro vide wster sstfsfsctorlly with less ex pensive equipment A trough of wa ter In ths barn to which tbe cows have access twice a day will s inure s tuple wster which will not be too cold. On many farms where the well or brook is close to tbe bsrn, the wster csn be pumped Inside wltb sn ordi nary pitcher pump. Cows should be let out a little while every day for ex ercise, but If possible they should be wstered In the bsrn. Tbey will drink more and eat more. Get Rid of Separators That Rob Dairy Farmer There are a number of separators that are robbing the fanners of cream. This wss brought to light recently when A. J. Cramer, director of Wisconsin row testing sssoclstlons, Wisconsin College of Agriculture, re ceived a letter from one of the testers out In the field. "I bsve tested skim milk frequently and found many separators tbst were sadly worn out of adjustment to the extent thst tbey were westing many dollars each month for the farmer who sells cream,"" reports one tester. "During August we hsd a new mem ber Join our association, snd when I niude my first visit to bis fsrm he told m that he was trying the tester on tb suggestion of one of bis neighbors. 1 took samples of milk from sll the cows, snd also of the skim milk. To my surprise, there wss more fst In th sktm milk than could be tested in tbe skim milk test bottles. So I ran the samples In whole milk test bottles and discovered that they tested 2 per cent of butterfat Tbe following month I again tested th skim milk, and this time It tested ltt per cent butterfat Thst resulted In th buying of new separator he fore I left tb fsrm tb following day. "It might be Interesting to know thst tbe new .separator represented tbe saving of tr2 cent per day, or f.70 year for that farmer." Liberal Feeding la Big Secret With Dairy Cows Liberal feeding Is tbe secret of suc cess In handling animals. Given dairy cowa of the right type, success Is sure to attend the man who feeds with s free band. It Is Impossible to get something for nothing, at least In the dairy business. How lung will it be before all tbe farmers In this country learn thst s poorly fed calf meana a email, undeveloped cow, and that a runty cow poorly fed means no profit 1 What we need sre cows that hare been well fed and well developed, and that are able" to make good use-of large quantltiea of feed. W do not need to look for the cow that can sub sist on a email ration. W need a machine that la capable of turning large amount of food Into milk every day. Find tha cow, or the type of cow, thstt turns feed Into milk, then give her tots of feed to work on.
