* “WHAT DID HE SEE IN HER?” Pree ROM the day of her graduation, 15 years before, from the high school of a large middle western city, Ada Gilbert had been baf- fled by the question which had first assailed her when her old sweetheart, Tom Cass, suddenly up and married her classmate, Evelyn Day. Whatever of pique and chagrin Ada might have felt, were really beside the question, because she had eloped with the eldest son of the town's larg- est banker the week before the an- nounced engagement of Tom and Eve- yn. But for years afterward. long after the Tom Casses had moved East, that question had flashed across the busy, variegated days of Ada's life. What had Tom Cass seen in Evelyn Day, who was one of those colorless, nice-enough girls of dust-gray person- ality and no achievements. A girl, as Ada used to describe it, with no face in particular, and no graces of mind or manner that in any way matched up to the sparkling distinction of Tom, who had been a distinguished stu- dent at high school, had captured hon- ors at college, and from the start had seemed pre-destined for a career of honor and importance. Not that Ada had any right to a pense of: frustration. She became, upon her marriage, the town’s wealthi- est and most outstanding matron. But Just the same, one could not help asking, whenever she picked up a newspaper and read the name of Tom Cass: what did he see in her? What did he, who was once in love with me, see In her? It Is certain that in the subsequent divorce between Ada and her husband, the conscious thought of Tom could have played little part. Nothing had been farther from her mind than to disrupt the snug bed she had made for herself as the wife as one of the most important, as well as the wealthi- est, men In town. But Ada had reck- oned without her host, Practically out of a clear sky, the husband of Ada underwent the Indig- nity of establishing residence In a state where divorce laws were notori- ously lenient, in order to win his free- dom from her on grounds of mental cruelty. It was the most devastating catas- trophe of her life. A famous beauty in her social world, a power, a woman of widest Influences, the action came as a bewildering blow to her pride. With all her cleverness, her nimble wit, her ability to lay her trump cards with outstanding diplomacy, she had had the supreme blunder of misjudg- ing her husband's psychology. To her he had been the plodding, rather sta. pid man, who concentrates brilllantly in business, and bares his neck to the yolk outside. Most galling of all was the fact that his act had not been precipitated by a flare of passion for another woman. Nothing of that sort had entered into his life. His act was the deliberate cutting loose of a man who finds his marriage ties intolerable, At thirty-five, still beautiful, well provided for, free, Ada found herself curiously cut away from the security and importance that had been hers as the wife of her husband. Life in the same town was no longer toler- able. Divested of the prestige, posi- tion and local importance, she became merely a divorcee, living on a gener- ous alimony. It was then she decided to move to one of the large eastern cities where the social horizon was wider, the life more varied. Once more it was the subconscious that must have settled her choice on the town In which dwelt the Tom Casses. In all the years which intervened be- tween her graduation from high school, she had not clapped eyes either upon Tom or Evelyn. In the interim Tom had become one of the most talked of magnates in the country. An entire township, devoted to his steel Industries, lay Just outside the eity where he had bulit the famous Cass castle. His industrial Innovations, his revolutionizing sociological schemes were beginning to have their effect the country, if not the world, over. Tom Cass was a household word, His success had never faltered. ft was into his town, with magnifi- cence of retinue, that Ada and her do- mestie caravan arrived with fanfare, Of course, contacts with the Tom Casses were immediately resumed, Strangely, Evelyn seemed enthusiasti- cally glad to see her and regaled her with promises of what Toms exuber- ance was sure to be upon his return from Europe, The Casses lived In a magnificence that seemed towering even to the ae. customed eves of Ada, The sweeping fawns, the baronial halls, the superb art wing and spacious nursery quar: ters were on a scale gargantuan, Eve Iyn's youngsters, true to form, were neither mentally nor physically re markable,. A nice enough brace of children, a boy and a girl who had foherited much of their mother's dustl. ~ ther's glamor, Evelyn herself had not changed, In i fact she had not even aged. The moth- gray quality in her was apparently a dust cover to the years, Quiet, unob- trusive, completely lusterless, she was the same quiet enigma who had star- tled her community by capturing the brilliant Tom Cass, When Tom returned from what had been the flying business trip to Lon- don his delight upon re-meeting Ada was all that Evelyn had promised her it would be. Here was recreation, a new toy, a new delight, a new face, The years had dealt lightly with him, as life had in general, He was a personality among personalities, as- sured, tremendously jovial, magnetic even beyond what he had been. Suc- cess had italicized him, Curious,’ the bantering, sex-con- gelous, excited relationship that was {fmmediately re-established between him and his old colleague. It was as if the intervening years had been merely hiatus, and here they were again, tiptoe as they had been in their youth, filled with awareness of each other, tantalizing to each other and strangely exciting, During these months the beauty of Ada seemed to take on a new sheen, Her dolly blue eyes became brighter, her hair more jonquil yellow, the nat- ural pink In her cheeks more surpris- ing. She was taking the particular social set in which she was finding place for herself, chiefly It Is true, through the Casses, by storm. Her dinners, her functions became focal points of the city's gayety. Not only Tom, but the town was Agog with her. What did he see in Evelyn? More and more this question began to torment Ada. Why, here within arms reach, except for this dreb woman with no face in particular, was happiness beyond anything she had dreamed. Not the person to err twice, her second alliance would not only he crowned with success, but it now be came evident to Ada that all through the years of her marriage to another man, her one grand passion had been for Tom Cass. And here he was, ready except for the intolerable impedimenta of a plain wife and plain children, ready to march himself back into her heart. Fool, fool, fool that she had been, ever to miscalculate in those years back there—to let slip for want of imagination, yes, it had been just that, the youth with a future, for what seomed to her to be the youth with his future In his hand Fool. Fool, Fool. What does he see in her? Of course, the expected happened. There came a time when Tom, as If to announce to the world he was no more than human, began to he seen about more than was discreet in the company of the golden grass-widow, [nevitably there was talk. One or two of his friends even ventured to remon- strate. But Tom was involved. Tom was smitten. Every one, with the ex- ception of Evelyn, saw that. Plain as the on your face. Tongues wagged. Tragic! Even with all his security, a scandal hurts a man like Cass. Has always seemed devoted to Evelyn. nose to hold a Poor Eve remain drab, Can't expect dynamo like Tom Cass iyn. Wonderful woman. of humor, but dumb! Never a ‘word out of Evelyn. Never a lapse in her carrying on of gigantic household, her duties to her children, to her social position, to her husband, Funny thing, sald Ada, aloud to her mirror one night. I've a feeling she Is laughing at me. Fool! There came the crisis. Ada lost. A sickened, revolted Tom suddenly jerked to his senses, staggering from her presence with a sense of finality and self-loathing. Strange, but Tom, too, had the sense as he lay with his head in Eve lvyn's lap and his arms flung about her knees, that she was laughing at him. “No, darling, 1 am not laughing. It's just that I am so much wiser than you are, sweetheart.

Crop rotations which permit a good stand of alfalfa to remain longer than two years are being developed by pro- gressive farmers of the state, accord- ing to T. G. Stewart, extension agron- omist at the Colorado Agricultural college, Many are planning rotations in which alfalfa is allowed to remain for perhaps five or six years. If planned according to some systems, five or gix years of alfalfa, together with four or five other crops makes a 10 or 11 year rotation. Such a system provides more alfalfa than is desired and too little of cash and feed crops, Stewart points out, Plan for 160-Acre Farm, A simpler plan for a 160-acre farm- having a 10-acre farmstead, would in- clude 50 acres of alfalfa, allowed to remain five or six years If satisfac tory hay ylelds are obtained. The re- maining 100 acres can be divided into four fields of 25 acres each and ro- tated with corn, followed by sugar beets, and then barley as a nurse crop for red clover. A seed crop of red clover and a cutting of hay can thus be secured from the fourth field each year after the rotation is under way. A 25.acre field of alfalfa can be brought into the rotation as occasion demands by seeding the barley field to alfalfa instead of red clover. The 25 gere strip of old alfalfa Is then fall plowed. The red clover crop cannot be included during the two years re quired to change the jocation of the %0 acres of alfalfa, but the original plan” can be revived 8s soon as the change is completed, Potatoes. vine crops or small grain may be substituted for all or a part of the corn acreage in some districts, Stewart suggests, clover may be desired Instead of red clover and the red clover may At lower aititudes in Colorado, clover will make two seed crops in a single year and has proved to be a satisfactory cash crop, Field for Each Crop. “A well-balanced rotation will al wavs provide a good field for each erop that is grown, furnish a proper balance between cash and feed crops, and maintain a desirable balance be. tween cultivated and non-cultivated tropa,” Stewart says, Sweet Destroy Cabbage Worms With Arsenate Poison 1f there are white butterflies hover ing about the cabbage patch now, there will soon be a crop of those detest able little worms on plants.

Feeding Cow According to Production Favored The low prices of dairy products makes it more than ever necessary for dairymen to feed and manage thelr herd with care in order to find a profit able market for feeds, states E. A, Gannon, Purdue university. The first step In meetng the present situation is to feed properly. Each cow should bave a balanced ration, based on her Individual production. The roughages available will deter mine the grain mixtures to be fed In order to balance the ration. Where legume roughages are available, a grain mixture containing 10 per cent digestible crude protein will be found gatisfactory. Where legume roughages and silage are fed, the grain mixture should contain 14 per cent digestible crude protein. With mixed roughages the per cent should be increased to 15, Where roughages such as timothy hay, straw and corn fodder are fed the grain mixture should contain 18 to 22 per cent digestible crude protein, Mulching With Paper Is Favored for Moisture he paper mulch, as it is called, Is a heavy grade of paper, quite similar to that put on roofs. The seed, of course, must be planted in the ground and must not be covered with the pa. per, or it will never come up, The use of the paper is between the rows of plants, where it keeps the weeds from ‘coming up, and prevents the ground from being excessively dried put. The common way is to plant the goed 08 usual and then spread thi paper between the rows, so as not to cover the plants, and weight It down with pieces of stone or earth, so that the wind will not move It, Valuable Protein Is Found in Skimmilk High-Grade Cottage Cheese Offers Outlet for Product.

Profitable utilization of milk by- products i8 now more Important than usual to the farmer and the dairy in- dustry, and the bureau of dairy in- dustry, United States Department of Agriculture, is trying to find profit able uses for skimmilk, says O, E. Reed, chief of the bureau, “In one year's volume of dairy by- products, which Includes skimmilk, buttermilk, and whey—skimmilk be- ing by far the mosi important—there is about $00,000,000 pounds of valuable food protein, a large part of which is not being utilized to the best possi ble advantage,” says Mr. Reed. “Cot. tage cheese, which is made from skim- milk and which is largely protein, is, when properly made and merchan. dized, one of the most profitable out. lets available to the dairy products plant for utilizing the skimmilk. In the past many plants have lacked a standard method for making a uni form, high-grade cottage cheese, The burean of dairy industry has, by expe. rimental work both in the laboratory and on a commercial scale, demon. strated a method which has consist. ently produced excellent resuits “This method produces what 1s called the low-acid rennet-type of cot. tage cheese.

These will have passed their best years by the time that the apple trees have reached a size that requires all the space between for drawing on for moisture, so they may be dug out.
