LINES TO A SHEEP.
© sheep, whose days are so demurely
spent,
I wonder if it's past your comprehend-
ing
That you and I between us represent
The starting of a process and its end-
ing?
On you the wool, on me the cloth and hose
Thus swings the cycle from its start to
close.
But not direct, old thing—O not direct!
"Pwixt shearing you and my “spring
suiting’ choices
There intervenes a host of the elect
Who jazz around in Daimlers and Rolls- |
Royces; 5
well nourished coves, with apoplectic
necks, |
Who drink champagne and sign collossal
checks.
A-down the path from you to me they
stand
{Who tries to dodge them only comes a
cropper).
And each with outstretched and expectant
hand
Collects the tribute that he thinks is
proper.
Your wool would stand on end if you
could see
The final price at which it’s charged to
me.
Therefore I call you ‘“‘comrade” from my
heart,
Although we two adorn a different ge-
nus;
If you and I are plainly in the cart,
At least we share the vehicle between us.
‘We have one point in common,
Beast—
We both exist in order to be fleeced.

DOROTHEA’S GUEST.
It was Peregrine Foster’s time-hon-
ored habit to telephone to Miss Doro-
thea Foster from the “store” at about
the time every day that she was eat-
ing her solitary breakfast in the old
Foster homestead. There was usual-
ly nothing imperative to say. Pere-
grine usually asked Dorothea if it
wouuld be convenient for him to “drop |
If it was Wednes- |
day night she would tell him that it |
was not, because that was the night!
in after supper.”
she always took supper with her sis-
ter-in-law.
if he might see her home afterward,
and with just a shade of hesitation
Dorothea would say that he might. If
it was not Wednesday night she, al-
ways with the same sort of hesitation,
Jod him that he might come to see
er.
That is the way things had been
going for the last eight years, ever
since, after an eight years’ courtship,
Dorothea had promised Peregrine that
“after her affairs were settled” she
might marry him. Apparently things
hadn’t been settled yet.
But to these excuses Peregrine was
used. And he was used to the hesita-
tion she showed when he telephoned
in the morning—it was only since an
open stretch of land five miles away
had been suddenly converted into an
army encampment, and young men in
khaki swarmed the few lanes and vil-
lage streets of the place where Pere-
grine owned and kept the only store,
that there had been a real change in
her manner.
Of course Peregrine wasn’t jealous.
Surely Dorothea had too much sense
to take a really sentimental interest
in any of the boys in camp; Dorothea,
who was forty. Still the boys took up
time that Peregrine felt ought to be
devoted to him.
It was about one month before
Thanksgiving day when Peregrine re-
ceived his first real shock, however.
“I suppose it’ll be convenient to
come over tonight?” he asked. And
Dorothea flatly told him it would not.
“You see, some of the hoys in camp
have been quarantined and I'm fixing
up some of my plum butter for them.
It’s in two quart jars and I have to:
beat it up and pour it into jelly glass-
es. That’s the way they like it. There |
has been an appeal for things for the
boys in the infirmary and they want
‘things that can be sent right to them.
And you know my plum butter isn’t
so bad.”
That night Dorothea did more than
re-can plum butter. When she had
finished that task she went to her
writing desk and wrote a letter, which
she read over several times with ap-
parent satisfaction. Then she wrap-
ed up the two dozen jars of plum
utter she had got ready, and tied
each neatly with a bit of red ribbon.
In one she inserted the little sealed en-
velope. Each wrapped jar was then
wrapped again in a bit of stout paper,
tied neatly with a cord and the contri-
bution was ready.
The next day early she hitched up
her old mare to the older buggy and
toted the two dozen jars out to the
hostess house at camp, where she
smilingly left her contribution. “There
is something special in this package,”
she told the young woman who receiv-
ed them. “You might keep it sepa-
rate, and if there is one of the young
chaps that needs special cheering you
could give it to him.”
The month that followed was a hard
one for Peregrine and, if truth must
be told, it was hard for Dorothea.
There was the usual daily telephone
call, but there was something in the
tone of Dorothea that betokened pre-
occupation, and in the tone of Pere-
grine there was an insurmountabie
tone of pique. :
On the Wednesday before Thanks-
giving there was no usual call at all.
Perhaps that was because there was
so much Thanksgiving buying going
on at the grocery store. But there
was another call—a call that Doro-
thea had been expecting for weeks.
“Say, I'm the chap that got the
plum butter,” came a cheerful voice.
“It was some butter and I got the
note asking me to come to Thanksgiv-
ing dinner if I didn’t have any place
else to go. Well, I haven’t—and any-
way, if you make plum butter like
that I wouldn’t miss your dinner for
anything.”
Dorothea was all a-tremble with ex-
citement. She asked the soldier boy
if he wouldn't bring a friend, but he

Then Peregrine would ask
: assured her that he wouldn’t, because
! most of the boys who were able to get
| off and didn’t go home were being en- ,
tertained by the men’s local club. She
had no doubt that there would be
! three at the table. Peregrine always
| came. She listened all the morning
| for the ring of the telephone and it
| did not come. She felt that she would
lower her dignity if she telephoned
him and asked him—when for eight
years he had never missed a day tel-
ephoning to her.
Dorothea cried a little on her pillow
that night. She assured herself it
was excitement over her expected
guest. Perhaps it was for another
reason. After all, when one has had
a certain telephone message every
day for eight years just the failure to
receive it is enough to unsteady the
nerves.
For some reason Dorothea had
vague misgivings during the morning.
{ She was not looking forward with so
much pleasure to her dinner guest as
she had expected to. She had hoped
i Peregrine would be there to help her
| entertain him.
At just one o'clock when the old
house was redolent with the savory
| aroma of roasting turkey, the guest
| arrived. It was Peregrine, and Doro-
thea, still wearing her kitchen apron,
threw her arms around his neck and
shed a few tears of joy on his shoul-
der.
“I’m almost sorry that someone else
is coming,” she said.
{ nice if you and I were just here to-
| gether. It seems just like those first
| Thanksgiving days. Besides, with all
‘ the other boys down at the club house
| —singing and shouting as they would
' with no women about—it may be a lit-
i tle dull for him.”
i Peregrine was laughing.
“I’m him!” he announced bluntly.
“You see, it’s this way,” and he pro-
i duced the little white envelope that
he had been wearing next his heart
! for several days. “A young soldier
came in and asked if I'd allow any-
i thing on some jars of plum butter.
| He said that there were ten fellows
| laid up in the infirmary at that time,
and there were some hundred and fif-
ty jars of it. He said they nearly got
plum buttered to death, and as soon
as he was out he wanted some pretz-
els and pickles, to sort of counteract
the plums, and he’d sent all his money
home and he thought maybe I'd trade
off some pretzels and pickles for a
few jars of plums. Well, I knew I
could always get a good price for it
from some of the city folks that come
here in the spring, so I took it. And
in one of the packages I found this
note. I knew the boys were going to
be taken care of at the club—and,
well, I felt it was providential the way
that letter had come to me. I thought
that maybe it was meant to be just
that way. I knew you were maybe
missing me a little, so I thought I'd
| surprise you.” .
And on that eighth Thanksgiving
Dorothea told the patient Peregrine
that her affairs were settled at last.

Maple Sugar Crop Calls for Workers.
Hundreds of thousands of maple
trees will go untapped in Vermont
this season because of the inability of
the farmers to get help. Never in the
history of the sugar-making industry
were the farmers so eager to sugar on
a large scale as this year, but all
through Vermont the story is the
same; they can only tap as many trees
as they can take care of.
While the determining factor in a
big maple sugar crop is the weather
during the sugaring season, the pre-
liminary conditions this year are said
to be very exceptionally good. For
the past two years, too, the crop has
been below normal, so everything in-
dicates a good year. The farmers
never have purchased so much sugar-
making apparatus and the sugar
utensil people report the biggest year
in their experience. In many orch-
‘ards pipe lines have been put in to
help offset the scarcity of labor, but
| pipe lines can only be used in certain
orchards. Man power is the big es-
sential and in the past the roving
farm hand has been used. This year
there is said to be no such person, as
the high wages in the industrial cen-
ters have drawn away more men than
did the war. Most of the big sugar
bushes are owned by farmers who de-
pend on themselves and the members
of their families for help during most
of the year, and hire in outside aid
during sugaring. They cannot get
help this year, no matter what price
they are willing to pay, they say.
Kansas Clean-up is Now Under Way.
The annual Kansas clean-up is now
under way. It is said to be the larg-
est and most thorough cleaning un-
dertaken anywhere in this country.
Every spring, urged by the Kansas
club women and the state fire: mar-
shal, Kansas cleans out all the trash,
tin cans, old papers, old rags, and
other waste and hauls it all away or
burns it. As the flowers stick up
their heads they greet a spic and span
countryside. For five years now the
club women, as part of their city-
beautiful and home-beautiful cam-
paigns have put on the clean-up
drives.
Mrs. B. F. Cress, of Council Grove,
chairman of the special committee of
the Kansas Federation of Women’s
clubs, has her complete district organ-
ization already at work and the dis-
trict chairmen are now getting the lo-
cal clubs under their jurisdiction into
action. The actual drive will be made
in April, when ail back yards, alleys,
cellars, and attics are to be cleaned.
In the cities arrangements have al-
ways been made with the street clean-
ing departments for the free hauling
of all this waste material to some
dump ground. In the villages and
country districts the trash is burned.

ed tones. “It was a cemetery.”

| Sweaters for Spring. — Spring
brings a new interest in sweaters, and
' many pleasing models have been pre-
i pared for the natural demand which
| this season of the year brings for
| these useful and attractive garments.
| The surplice sweater blouse is one
i of the smartest novelties in this large
| assortment of new spring sweaters.
| These sweaters are obtainable in de-
i lightful colors of wool, both knitted
| and crocheted.
The short wool sweater is known as
the tuxedo style, and is an innovation
in sport wraps. It is to be had in silk
as well as in wool and in a variety of
pleasing colors. Serviceability and
practicality are as potent features of
value in this sweater as is the style
value.
An exquisite sweater jacket is of
silk thread with collar, girdle and
sleeve edges done in matching che-
nille. The chenille is also crocheted
into a narrow string girdle with gen-
erous tassel ends that effects the only
closing, for be it noted that this
sweater jacket is developed along the
‘style lines of the latest models in coat
suits from Paris, which almost invar-
ings save for the narrow sash girdle
or narrow belt of leather.
This charming new sweater is worn
over a simple frock of white crepe de
chine, but the mode is applicable as a
wrap or finish for any summer frock,
be it of georgette, voile, organdie, net
or lace, and will add a delightful color
note to a white frock or make a pleas-
ing color combination when worn over
a frock of delicate color.
Fortunate is the girl or woman who
has developed the ability to knit or
crochet, for she may have these use-
ful accessories for less cost than the
woman who must buy them ready
made.
Oh, that I might convince you all to
make your hands skillful and to en-
courage in the coming generation of
women a practice of the natural tasks
of women, sewing, cooking and the
like, that their lives may be more
complete.
But to get back to our subject of
fashions, I know you will be interest-
ed in the girlish dress of navy blue
tricotine showing one of the types of
plaited skirts that is destined to be
popular. This simple, serviceable
dress is typical of the mode of the
moment, not only because of this
plaited skirt but because of the girdle,
the sleeve length and the neck line as
well, because of its youthful style and
its practicality.
. Symbolical of spring and of youth
is the charming sport suit of striped
satin with jacket of duvetyn in plain
color. The skirt is straight and
slightly gathered into a wide belt.
The coat is loose and without front
tasselg.; *
Nobody carries an umbrella now.
The en cas has superseded that old-
fashioned and useful article. It ig in
some sober color and has a stupen-
dously fine handle. It looks sturdy
in this season of the year, for wind
and storms of rain are making Paris
a gusty place to live in.
The newest way of doing the hair
popular rag dolls. It is made to look
like a mop on the top of the head and
ends are scratched down all around
the brow, ears and neck in a short,
ragged fringe, held flat by a band of
ribbon or silver beads. A contempo-
rary speaks of this fashion as the
barbed wire entanglement.
Milan and Lisere hats are selling
well, but not to the extent that the
bright, shiny straw shapes made of
the cellophane straw.
Pastel shades are very popular.
Navy, brown, jade and other dark
blues are selling in the ramie straw
effets in the medium-priced hats.
Hats of satin and taffeta, trimmed
with straw braid and some color in
flowers or fancy braid are being se-
lected for immediate wear.
Brown is the favorite color.
Shapes are small and set well down
over the head.
Some plaid straws are being dis-
played. :
Hats have streamers af narrow pi-
cot edge ribbon.
No. 5 ribbon is the favorite width
for this purpose. The streamers hang
down about twenty inches, with loops
15 inches long. The loops are of dif-
ferent lengths.
One plaid brim hat, which had a
narrow brim at back and sides extend-
ing to a point in the front had the top
brim of red and white straw braid.
The facing was of black satin. The
crown was also of black satin, with a
round tip piece sewed into a gathered
bias piece, which formed a small tam.
The streamers were of the length de-
scribed, and a small bunch of flowers
were set at a jaunty angle from the
front brim.
Many navy blue crepe hats are
shown in the small close-fitting shapes
trimmed with fancy crowns of metal
cloths or fancy tucked georgette, em-
broidered and trimmed with flowers
or a small ostrich fancy. They are
made to be close fitting for the spring
winds.
Red is a popular color for trimming.
Some hats show piping of leather,
plain and the patent.
Hats made of bugle cellophane are
popular among those that have been
recently imported.
Raffin in the plain and glycerined is
shown in every conceivable color for
spring.
Now that accordion pleating is so
popular, it is good news to hear that
it can be bought by the yard, that is
that georgette and chiffon in white,
cream or black, 20 inches wide can be
bought already pleated at a certain
neckwear counter for 75 cents a yard,
measured spread out, of course. Lots
of girls are buying this for petticoat
flouncings, vestees and whole blouses.
FARM NOTES.
—The rag doll method of testing
individual ears of corn is one of the
simplest and most economical, and is
efficient, says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The tester consists of a strip of
cloth, preferably bleached muslin, six-
teen inches wide and from three to
five feet long. The cloth should be
marked off into square sections and
the squares all numbered. The ears
to be tested should also be given cor-
responding numbers. Six or more
kernels should be selected from differ-
ent parts of each ear, and placed in
the proper section.
When the tester is filled, fold over
each side so that the edges meet in the
center, roll up, and soak the tester for
a few hours in luke warm water.
Drain off the excess water and place
the dolls in a warm place for the seed
to germinate. They should be cover-
ed with a wet cloth to keep them
moist, and in about five days the seed
should be sufficiently well germinated
to show their fitness for seed.

method of testing seed corn. It may

ment.

! the best weather in the world can not
remedy the initial evil if you plant
I poor seed.
A good seed corn, say specialists of
| the United States Department of Ag-
| riculture, is one that is adapted to the
| locality, is grown on the most produc-
l tive plants of a productive variety, is
| weil matured, and preserved from ri-
| pening to planting time in such a way
| that the full vigor of the seed will be
| retained.
It should have been selected in the
i fall from the stalk, but if that was
neglected, all that can be done now is
| to obtain a uniform type of seed true
to varietal characteristics and that
will grow.
The mere fact that the kernels will
sprout in a germinator is not the
whole story. Recent experiments have
shown that weak sprouts may be in-
dications of disease, that similar seed
when planted is likely not to sprout
and, if it does, will grow only a few
inches or, at best, produce a barren
stalk.
Corn that will come up but that will
produce an unprofitable crop is worse
than seed which won’t grow at all, be-
cause it fools a farmer into wasting
labor and land on it. Know what your
seed will do by selecting it yourself.
Cheap seed corn may prove very
dear; the seed corn that produces the
best crop usually is the cheapest.
If you must buy seed, pay your
neighbor a reasonable price for select-
ed, well preserved seed of a variety
that has made good in a neighboring
field; but don’t pay a stranger a fan-
| ey price for seed claimed to give mi-
, raculeus yields.
| Seed ears should first be nubbed,
land the kernels from tip and butt
should be discarded from the seed sup-
ply. The small kernels from the tips
are less productive than the other ker-
nels on the ear; the thick rounded
kernels from the butts ‘are’ just as
productive as any of the rest, but be-
| cause of their shape and size they do
not plant uniformly when used in a
corn planter with other kernels.
Shelling by hand takes more time
The me-
chanical corn sheller will injure some
1 of the kernels, and thus destroy or re-
duce their power to grow and yield.
‘No matter how large the required
| supply, says the department, it will
still pay to shell it painstakingly by
hand, because the greater the acre-
i age to be planted the greater the ulti-
i mate profit.
! Each ear should be shelled sepa-
' rately into a shallow pan or box, and
{ any blemished, poorly developed, mol-
!dy, or worm-eaten kernel should be
I rejected. 5
As the seed from each ear is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels, it is poured into the gen-
eral supply, and another ear is shell-
ed in the same way. It is much eas-
ier-to pick out defective kernels from
a thin layer in a small seive than
from a large mingled quantity in a
bushel measure or a bag.

the brood sow. The first few weeks
being the most critical time in the
pig’s life, it is advisable to plan for
taking care of them safely during this
time. Many of the maladies that af-
fect suckling pigs are due to the nour-
ishment they receive. Sows to be in
condition to raise healthy and rapid-
growing pigs must have a ration in
which the various nutriments are
combined in a manner that will pro-
mote the secretion of milk without
causing udder trouble or digestive dis-
turbances.

FRANCE IN DIRE NEED OF
SUGAR.
The sugar shortage in France, due
: C. Swires, et ux, and C
to the German invasion, will not be
relieved for three years, according to
government reports and commercial
statistics furnished to the correspond-
ent of the Associated press by the au-
thorities who arranged his trip of in-
spection to witness reconstruction
work.
Of the country’s 206 raw sugar
plants, 145 virtually were razed dur-
ing the war, the figures show, and
most of the half-million acres of su-
gar-beet land were devastated by the
ravages of battle.
None of the larger sugar plants
have resumed business because of the
lack of buildings, and sugar-beet pro-
duction this year was said to be al-
most nil. * Both of these conditions
are due in a measure to insufficient
transportation facilities. Estimates
of a special committee of the chamber
of deputies, which forecast a sugar
shortage lasting three years, however,
gave encouragement for half the nor-
mal output of the country within two
years.
At the present time, the absence of
sugar in France has resulted in the in-
ability of persons holding sugar cards
to get any of the commodity for
