CHAPTER. III,
Eitptaill Flower, learning through
the medium of Tim that the coast was
clear, came en deck at Limehouse, and
took charge of his ship with a state-
liness significant of an uneasy con-
science. He noticed with growing
indignation that the irnate's attitude
was rather that of an accomplice than
a suordinate, and that the crew look
ed his way far oftener than was neces-
sary or desirable,
"I told her we were going to
France,'' said the mate, in an impres-
sive whisper.
"Her?" said Flower, curtly, "Who?"
"The lady you didn't want to see,"
said Fraser, restlessly.
"You let your ideas run away with
you, Jack," said Flower, yawning.
"It wasn't likely I was going to turn
out and dress to see any girl you liked
. to invite aboard."
"Or' even to bowl at them through
the speaking -trumpet," said Fraser,
looking at him steadily.
"What sort o' looking girl was
she ?" inquired Flower, craning his
} neck to see what was in front of
' him.
"Looked like a girl who meant to
find the man she wanted, if she spent
ten years over it," said the mate,
grimly. , "I'll bet you an even five
shillings, cap'^, that she finds this
Mr. Robinson before six weeks are
out—whatever his other name is."
"Maybe," said Flower, carelessly.
"It's her first visit to the Foam, but
not the last, you mark my words,"
said Fraser, solemnly. "If she wants
this reseal Robinson—"
I "What ?" interrupted Flower, sharp-
'lyr
"I say if she wants this rascal Rob-
inson,'' repeated the mate, with relish,
"she'll naturally come where she saw
the last trace of him."
Captain Flower grunted.
"Women never think," continued
Fraser, judicially, "or else she'd be
glad to get rid of such a confounded
scoundrel."
"What do you know about him?",
demanded Flower.
"I know what she told me," said
f Fraser; "the idea of a man leaving a
poor girl in a cake -shop and .doing a
bolt. He'll be punished for it, I
know. He's a thoughtless, inconsid-':
erate fellow, but one of the best -heart -
Ied chaps in the world, and I guess I'll
do the best I can for him."
• Flower grinned safely in the dark-
' ness. "And any little help I can
give you, Jack, I'll give freely," he
said, softly. "We'll talk it over at
I breakfast."
The mate took the hint, and, mov-
Iing off, folded his arms on the tali
rail, and, looking idly astern, fell into
a reverie. Like the Pharisee, he felt
' thankful that he was not'as other men,
and dimly pitied the skipper and his
!prosaic entanglements, as she thought
of Poppy. He looked behind at the
1 dark and silent city, and felt a new
affection for it, as he reflected that
' she was sleeping there.
The • two men commenced their
breakfast in silence, the skipper eat-'
ing with a zest which caused the mate
to allude impatiently - to the last
breakfasts of condemned men.
"Shut the skylight, Jack," said the
skipper, as he poured out his third cup
ter, severely; "you ought to know bet-
ter,"
(To be continued).
PRISON READY FOR KAISER.
He Will Be Incarcerated on Island of
St. Helena.
According to French papers the
allies are as firmly determined as
ever to capture the German Emperor
and to incarcerate him for life on the
j Island of St. Helena where Napoleon
ended his career as a prisoner, Tho
"Petit Provencal" says;
I"The • plan to capture the Kaiser
has never been given up by England
and France, although this aim of the
war has not been mentioned by the
press, during the last twelve or fifteen
months, The fate of the unspeakable
chief of the Huns, this beastly modern
Attila, will probably be decided before
the end of the present war. If he
cannot be caught in the field when
the remnants•of his shattered armies
are exterminated by the great offen-
sive of the allies, his surrender by
his people will be the first peace con-
dition. The prison in which he will
have to spend the rest of his miser-
able life has long been prepared by
the British Government on St. Helena.
His quarters there will be far less
comfortable than those of Napoleon
were. His oldest son and heir, the
Crown Prince, will be executed with
Admiral von Tirpitz, and a number of
the other beasts who are commanding
the Bodies."
of coffee,
Fraser complied, and resuming his
seat, gazed at him with almost inde-
cent expectancy. The skipper drop-
ped some sugar into his coffee, and,
stirring it in a meditative fashion,
sighed gently.
"I've been making a fool of myself,
Jack," he said, at length. "I was
always one to be fond of a little bit of
adventure, but this goes a little too
far, even for me.2-
"But what did you get engaged to
her for?" inquired Fraser. •
Flower shook his head. "She fell
violently in love with me," he said
mournfully. "She keeps the 'Blue
Posts' up at Chelsea. Her father
left it to her. She manages her step-
mother and her brother and everybody
else. I was just a child in her hands.
You know my easy-going nature."
"But you made love to her," ex-
postulated the mate.
"In a way, I suppose I did," ad-
mitted the other, "I don't know now
whether she could have me up for
breach of promise, because when I
asked her I did it this way. I said,
'Will you be Mrs. Robinson?' What
do you think?"
"I should think it would make ib
harder for you," said Fraser. "But
didn't you remember Miss Banks
while all this was going un?"
"In a way." said Flower, "yes—in a
way. But after a man's been en-
gaged to a woman nine years, it's,
very easy to forget, and every year
makes it easier. Besides, I was only
a boy when I was engaged to her,"
"Twenty-eight," said Fraser.
"Anyway, I wasn't old enough to
know my own mind," said Flower,
"and my uncle and old Mrs. Banks
made it up between them. They ar-
ranged everything, and I can't afford
to offend' the old man. If I married

cry she ran to the side and, catching
the watchman's outstretched hand,
sprang ashore.
"Good-bye," sang out the mate;
"sorry you, wouIdn't cone to France
with us. The lady was afraid of the
foreigners, George. If it had been
England she wouldn't have minded."
"Aye, aye," said the watchman,
significantly, and, as the schooner
showed her stern, turned to answer,
with such lies as he thought the oc-
casion demanded, the eager questions
of his fair companion.
"If you're not very careful," said'
Fraser, impressively, "you'll lose both
of 'em."
The skipper leaned over the table,
and glanced carefully round, "Just
what I want to do," he said, in a low
voice. "flit engaged to another girl,"
"What?" cried the mate, rising his
voice. "Three?"
"Three," repeated the skipper.
"Only three," be added, hastily, as he
saw a question trembling on the oth-'

Corn Silage vs. Alfalfa Hay.
As a result of three years' experi-
mental work bo test the relative value
of alfalfa hay and corn silage in milk
production, the Nebraska Station re-
ports as follows:
With the quality of silage and al-
falfa hay which has been fed in these
experiments, with corn silage is worth
$3.50 per ton, alfalfa hay is worth $8
per ton to produce milk.
When the prices of alfalfa hay run
higher than $8 per ton, the value of
Cron silage for milk production will
increase in the same ratio. This
would indicate that where alfalfa hay
is cheap and abundant the use cf sil-
age will not lessen the cost of milk
production unless it can be produced
at a lower cost than is charged for it
in these experiments,
The advantage of silage in increas-
ing the number of animals which can
be kept upon a limited area by sav-
ing the roughness which would other-
wise be wasted is, of course, apparent
in the study of a permanent plan of
farm management. The silo must
also be given credit for its value as a
means of holding over feed in years
of abundance for use in years of crop
scarcity.
Corn silage has given more favor-
able results than alfalfa silage, due
largely to the improper fermentation
of alfalfa silage, which affected its
palatability. Our recent experiments
have shown that a mixture of one-
half green sorghum with one-half
green alfalfa makes a good quality
of silage, but the feeding value of this
mixture has not been compared with
corn silage.

Alfalfa Mixture for Silage.
There are often times when, owing
to a wet season or an early frost,
fanners experience difficulty in say-
ing the last cutting of alfalfa. At
such times a method for converting
alfalfa into silage may bring about a
saving of the entire last erop.
During'thet
fermentation e'me nation process
which takes place immediately after
the silo is filled, the sugar in the green
crop is converted by pacterial pro-
cesses into a mixture of acids. The
most important acids formed in silage,
are lactic acid, the same acid which
develops in the souring of inilk, and
acetic acid, the same acid which gives
to vinegar its sour taste. Several
other acids are also formed in lesser
amounts, but they are of little impor-
tance in normal silage. These acids
serve to preserve the silage mixture
from further decomposition. The
silage fermentation is similar to the
fermentation which takes place when
cabbage is converted into sauerkraut,
The alfalfa plant is deficient in
fermentable sugars. For this )reason,
alfalfa alone does not make silage
which will "keep." Acid is not pro-
duced in sufficient quantities bo pre-
serve the silage. Because of this de-
ficiency of acid, putrefactive processes
set up, and the silage acquires a dis-
gusting taste and an odor somewhat
resembling the odor of decaying meat.
In September, 1914, the Nebraska
Agricultural Experiment Station con-
structed six small silos having a cap-
acity of about 1 ton each. These
were filled, -1 with corn, 1 with Black
Amber cane, 1 with alfalfa, and 3 with
alfalfa -cane mixtures in the propor-
tion of 1 part alfalfa to 2 parts cane,
equal parts of cane and alfalfa, and
2 parts alfalfa bo 1 part cane, re-
spectively. The sorghum cane con-
tains a higher percentage of ferment-
aable sugars and makes up the difici-
ency of the alfalfa in this respect.
These silos were opened in Aug-ist,
1915, after having been filled for near-
ly a year. The silage in all except
the one containing only alfalfa was
found to be in perfect condition. The
silage made from 1 part cane and 2
parts alfalfa was just as good as that
containing larger proportions of cane.
Alfalfa 2 parts, mixed with cane I
part, makes a highly desirable silage
Siloing alfalfa with cane in the man-
ner here described is recommended as
a means of saving the last crop of
alfalfa when conditions are such that
it cannot be made into hay. Wheth-
er or not it will be profitable be silo
alfalfa is a question which can only
be answered by the farmer himself
under the individual conditions.
What Is Practical.
One of the most useful things we
as dairy farmers can learn is a bet-
ter understanding of what is really
practical. About every man limits
the meaning of this much abused word
to the narrow dimensions of his own
experience, Wiiat he knows to be
practical is practised, that is the end
of it. The Babcock test was not
"practical" said nine out of ten far-
mers in 1886; now, everyone believes
in its practicability. The silo, the
pure-bred bull, the growing of alfalfa,
the King system of ventilation, and a
host of other well accepted improve-
ments in dairy practice have had to
run this gauntlet of "practical" in the
mind of the average farmer.
Seager Wheeler, a Canadian Sas-
katchewan wheat farmer, has had an 'ever.
experience in this line that is well set.
forth in the following brief paragraph
which we take from an article in the
Country Gentleman:
"When Wheeler first began growing
wheat from seed selected and bred by
hand he was looked upon as a faddist.
Many were not quite so charitable as
that in applying names to him and
his work. But since he won the $1,000
first prize at the New York Land
Show in 1911 for the best wheat raised
on the American Continent, and an-
other international sweepstakes prize
at the 1914 show in Kansas, and in-
ternational prizes at various other ex-
hibitions in the United States and
Canada, they have stopped calling him
a faddist. When he began to grow
wheat at the rate fo forty-five to
eighty bushels an acre on small plots
and thirty to thirty-five bushels on his
large fields, even in unfavorable sea-
sons, and to sell his grain as seed for
two dollars to three dollars a bushel,
practically every one decided that he
was a practical farmer and a;compet
ent business man."
Every step in the way toward great-
er profit and greater efficiency in the
business of dairy farming has been
fought out and won againstthe nar-
row judgments of farmers whose only
cry was "not practical." This proves
beyond controversy that the only im-
practical man in the business is the
one who is foolish enough to measure
the question solely by what he knows
and that' alone.—Hoard's Dairyman.
