A little more kindness and a little less
creed;
A little more giving and a little less greed ;
A little more smile and a little less frown;
A little less kicking a man when he's
down;
A little more “we” and a little less “I’;
A little more laugh and a little less cry;
A few more flowers on the pathway of life,
And fewer on graves at the end of the
strife.
FARM NOTES.
—Where you find scrub sires you
usually find a scrub farmer.
—A two-weeks-old calf can be fed a
small ration in addition to milk.
—Pile and burn all rubbish about
the barn and feed fewer rats.
—Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
—Straw lofts in poultry houses
serve as insulation to keep the poul-
try house warm in winter and cool in
summer, and to absorb moisture at
all times.
—Roup may be caused by dampness
or drafts in roosting quarters, or
poorly ventilated roosting quarters.
Underlying causes may be poor nutri-
tion, lice, mites, or other parasites.
—Sweet clover requires as much
lime as alfalfa on soils tested and
found sour. It may be seeded in
wheat like common clover or with oats
in the spring. Its place in Pennsyl-
vania is primarily as a pasture crop.
—The Kansas State Agricultural
college poultry department recom-
mends an egg-laying mash composed
of equal parts finely ground corn chip,
middlings, wheat bran, finely ground
oats or barley and high-grade tank-
age, or meat scraps.
—Do you have a supply of spray
materials or dusts to protect the ear-
ly plants? Many gardeners favor
the application of bordeaux mixture
or copper dust to tomato, eggplant,
and celery plants while they are yet
in the cold frames.
—Cows and heifers soon to freshen
should be looked after closely. At
this period, cold nights, short pas-
ture, and lack of attention will add
greatly to the cost of any milk they
produce later. They should be brought
to the barn and put into condition on
legume hay, some silage, and a suit-
able grain mixture. Cows handled in
this way will make cheaper milk later.
—OIld lawns should be carefully
gone over at this time. Unsightly
depressions that cannot be removed
by rolling can be eliminated by lift-
ing the sod, filling with good soil, and
replacing the sod. Where this action
is not practical, fine loam to a depth
not exceeding three inches can be fill-
ed over the existing lawn and the sur-
face seeded. The existing grass will
force its way through the soil.
—Remove all of the slow-growing
stunted, low-vitality pullets. The
same applies to the other extreme of
precocious stock that starts producing
in about four menths. They are usu-
ally lacking in body to hold up. There
are numerous dependable breeders of
pedigree stock that can supply high-
production’ males. We have passed
the day when it was advisable to keep
a certain male just because he had
long tail feathers.
—For five cents, a nickel, a gas en-
gine will separate 8,000 pounds of
milk at the proper speed to get the
most cream. It will pump 6,000 gal-
lons of water, guaranteeing to man
and beast this most necessary life-
maintaining fluid while protecting the
health of the household. That nickel’s
worth of gas will shell 50 bushels of
corn for cattle, chickens and lambs;
it will grind 12 bushels of feed, cut
2 tons of ensilage, saw 2 cords of
wood, churn 400 pounds of butter,
bale a ton of hay, clean 60 bushels of
wheat for seed, light up the farm for
four hours, do 2 weekly washings for
the family, or grind the mower knives
for the season.
—Different ways of packing eggs
under commercial shipping conditions,
both as to crates and cars, was re-
cently carried out by the committee
representing manufacturers, shippers,
railroads, and express companies.
The damage occurring during tran-
sit was reduced to terms of the aver-
age money lost per case. Returns
showed a very small advantage in
favor of straw and hay stuffed cars
and showed the following range in
terms of money lost per case: Stand-
ard case and standard fillers with cup
flats throughout lost less than ome
cent a case; case cut down slightly
with standard fillers, embossed flats,
and four excelsior pads in them rank
next; third rank was standard case
with standard fillers and flats having
six excelsior pads.
—Minerals in the ration for pigs
prevented lameness and gave the best
gains in a series of winter or dry lot
tests conducted at the Ohio experi-
ment station. The mixture of two
parts ground limestone, two parts
bone meal, and one part salt, as here-
tofore recommended by that station,
again proved the best in a long list of
mineral mixtures in the swine ration
in which soy bean oil meal was fed as
the protein feed with yellow corn.
This mixture, it was explained to
visitors on Live Stock day, supplied
not only the necessary salt, but also
all the calcium and phosphorous need-
ed. The latter are prime essentials.
Without these elements in the grain
ration pigs soon contracted rickets
and lameness. :
Ground limestone was superior to
a refined grade of lime or calcium car- | y
bonate, due in part apparently to the
small amount of iron carried by the
limestone and required by the pigs
for proper development. This fact
has not been appreciated heretofore,
and is evidence of further need of
much careful investigation in the
feeding of the live stock.
THE SOUL-MAKER.

the door softly open. He stood justi
within, a stiff figure of defiant an-
guish. “But I don’t now.” Abby’s
hand rose to her throat—the ice in her
heart had melted and rushed there,
“]—” He turned, and, finding Abby,
threw himself against her, hiding his
face in her apron. “Tell her!” he
whispered. “Tell her I'm brave now.”
Abby raised her eyes. Through her
tears she saw the mother, her troub-
led face so like Franklin's.
be,” she said, proudly.
Later in the afternoon they went
away, Franklin carrying his few pos-
sessions in a shawl-strap Abby gave
him. She walked to the foot of the
hill with them.
“I hope you won’t miss him much,”
said the mother.
“He's yours,” answered Abby, sim-
ply. “I’m glad he’s got a good home.”
“It ain’t so awfully far off.”
“T will come back,” declared Frank-
lin, clinging to Abby’s hand. “Ill
come back to see you.”
Abby kissed him quietly. “I'll ex-
pect you,” she said.
Then the mother took his hand.
“We’ll have to go along. My hus-
band’ll be waiting in the village.”
Abby climbed the hill doggedly.
She glanced into the sitting-room as
she closed the door of her house. The
day had moved so swiftly that she
half doubted its reality. But Frank-
lin’s chair had no pale head bent over
a book to look up at her entrance.
She dropped into her arm-chair.
Presently with her foot she set Frank-
lin’s chair rocking gently, and list-
ened, her eyes closed. The monoton-
ous creaking dulled her. She knew
that after a little she must wake from
the numbness and face the event.
Now she was tired.
She woke with a start to darkness
and the sound of the knocking. She
got to her feet. Some one was call-
ing her.
“Abby! Abby! Aren’t you here?”
A match flared up in the kitchen,
yielding Abby a glimpse of a round,
anxious face before it died out. “Jen-
nie’s home late to-night,” she thought.
“I must have fallen asleep.” Then,
as a second match flamed ouf, she re-
membered.
Jennie had found the kitchen lamp,
and, holding it before her, stepped in-
bo the sitting-room. Then she jump-
ed.
“Goodness! You scared me, stand-
ing there like a ghost. Are you
sick 7”
“No.” Abby drew her hand across
her eyes; the light dazzled them.
“No; I just fell asleep, I guess.”
Jennie set the lamp down. “I’ve
been down at Mrs. Black's, sewing,”
she said, watching Abby uneasily. “I
just thought I'd run in.”
She was silent for a moment, gasp-
ing a little in a perplexed way, like a
fish out of water, thought Abby ir-
relevantly.
“I didn’t like to think of you here
all alone,” she continued, “so I came.
You—you’ve sent the boy away, I
hear.”
Abby sat down again. “Yes,” she
said, turning her face away from the
light.
Jennie threw back her coat and
seated herself in Franklin’s chair.
“Did you have to get rid of him?”
she asked.
Abby laughed. “Yes, I had to.
“The numbness had gone now, and
here began the probing of her wound.
“I told Sarah that if you ever did,
I’d come back same’s if noting had
taken place.”
“Do you know why I got rid of
him?” Abby’s fierce question cut
through Jennie’s complacency.
“lI suppose—” Her rocker ceased
its swaying. “I suppose he kept on
lying.”
“Stop!” cried Abby, interlocking
her fingers so tightly that the knuck-
les strained. “He went with his
mother. She’s married and got a
home to take him to.”
“Didn’t you want him to go?”
Abby made no answer.
“Did she just come and take him?”
“He’s hers.”
“And you get nothing for all your
fuss and trouble!”
“Nothing ?” Abby sat erect, her
hands uneclasping. The probing had
found the poison in the wound. She
felt Franklin clinging to her, heard
him whisper, “Tell her I'm brave.”
Did she get nothing ?
“His mother gave me nothing,” she
answered, slowly.
“And I expect you’ll miss him, too,”
ventured Jennie. “Seems a pity.”
“It isn’t a pity.” Abby rose. As
she looked down at Jennie she had a
sensation of distance between them,
as though she were on a height from
which she called down. But she must
speak. Whether Jennie heard or not,
she must hear it herself. “Of course,
I’ll miss him.” Her words came with
great slowness. “I’d've chosen to
keep him, but he had to go with her
that bore him. He didn’t go the same
as he came, though; he was different.
I made him different. Something real
in him, something alive, that’ll last.
I made it. Part of his soul. I nev-
er made anything before. I might
have died without. Don’t you see—?”
She paused, while Jennie’s bewilder-
ed face wavered before her. “It’s as
if—as if you made a dress so beauti-
ful that it would last for always. I've
done—oh, more than that!” :
“You mean you've been good for
him?”
Abby smiled. She was descending
from her height, and as she drew
nearer Jennie she felt an unexpected
warmth for her.
“Are you coming back?” she asked,
abruptly. J J
Jennie looked up with wistful re-
lief at her matter-of-fact tone.
“] guess I will,” she said. “I've
felt queer, staying other places.
You've fixed it upesome here, ain't
ou?”
Abby nodded. :
“I should think we might get along
comfortably,” continued Jennie, be-
ginning to rock again. “What'll you
do now?” .
“I don’t know.” Abby started to-

State Issues Copies of New Highway
Map.
The State Highway Department has
announced it is preparing to issue
200,000 copies of a new State highway
map which was drawn for the conven-
ience of thousands of motorists who
will attend the Philadelphia sesqui-
centennial next summer.
Important connecting county and
township roads will be shown in addi-
tion to the State highways, and a
number of improved roads leading
through picturesque sections will be
marked.
The map will contain an index of
Pennsylvania cities and towns and the
distance between towns will be indi-
cated. It will also show a road map
of the United States, with all trans-
continental highways marked, and
will be embellished with photographs
of scenic Pennsylvania. :
The department again plans to is-
sue its travelers’ guide to the State,
which is now in its third year. It
will contain forty pages, including
copies of the new map. Both the map
and the guide are expected to be
ready for distribution shortly after

Good Ones They Tell.
Judge Edward Dixon told this one
at the Optimist Club the other day.
A certain judge had to fine an ob-
streperous litigant five dollars for
contempt. The litigant marched up
to the clerk’s desk and slapped down
ten dollars.
“What’s the idea?” demanded the
clerk. “The judge only fined you five
dollars.”
“Yes, I know,” replied the man,
“put five dollars wouldn’t show my
contempt for that judge.”—Cincin-
nati Enquirer.
