out of sight of the charred ruins of the

near the bank of the river that ran

he took up his abode. He kept bis

stew the seasou of planting time.
Stories most distressing to the kindly
',counter folk were told of his making
a clean sweep occasionally through his
arouse, the accumulations lauding on
the back door step or vanishing through
eiracks of the flour; also of n weekly
Washing of dishes, and a pork and po-
tato diet.
They hospitably opened their' doors
and their services to the sole survivor
Of the Lester household, but he had a
way of drawing about himself the-
magic
he-
man c. circle which no one ventured to
cross.
He was too busy through the day
and too tired at night to feel lonely.
There was a supreme reason why John
lereferred his solitary life.
One night when he came home from
the fields he paused on his threshold
and stared in amazement at the trans-
formation wrought. Elis camping out
place had become a cozy little home.
Everything, from the sanded floor to
the tinware on the pine' table, was as
spotlessly clean and white as soap and
water could make it. At the windows
were dainty muslin curtains. The ta-
ble, spread with a snowy white cloth,
was set for his supper. A loaf of home-
made bread and a flower stamped pat
of golden butter added their touch of
domesticity.
En a haze of wonder John mechan-
ically Gilled the kettle, lighted the fire
.and prepared his evening meal. Then
he went into the adjoining room. This,
too, bad been touched with a magic
wand and arranged in as orderly a
;fashion as a hospital ward—the win-
nows curtained in muslin, the bed cov-
ered with a spread, and a little silk
fined workbasket adorned the table.
When he sat clown to supper he was
scarcely conscious of what he ate. In
f,rateidpscopic procession there passed
+through his recollection bis mother's
friends and neighbors; but, though the
:housecleaning and the bread and but-
ter might suggest the buxom matrons
of his acquaintance, it was some way
borne In upon his slow working brain
that the other things were the handi-
work of a maiden. Even if the white
curtains could be possibly charged up
to one of the simple farm wives, there
'was still that workbasket lined in del-
,%ate blue to refute the theory, No!
-The workbasket would have convinced
.any jury, as it did John, that a young
-woman—one with a dormant shade of
'coquetry—bad entered his home that
.day.
The white curtains and the' blue lined
'basket would adjust themselves to but
•one person, and that one he feared It
•could not have been. Buried in his
memory was the love of one woman,
'who had said him nay.
Be roused himself from his specula-
' 'tions. -
"Whoever It Is," he thought grimly,
"will soon be disclosed. The folks
• about here are not the kindthathide
=their light under a bushel."
He looked dubiously at the supper
`table. It seemed to him that be was
under obligations to restore things to
the order in which he bad found them:
atumsity he washed the dishes and set
the room to rights, half angry with
himself for doing so.
"They'll betearingme a kitchen
apron and a dish towel nest," he
.thought sheepishly.
In the vapory veil- of smoke that
'floated upward from bis evening pipe
he saw a vision of a hearth and home
• presided over by a goddess, young and
• fair. But his pipe went out, and he
-:awoke from his dreams.
'The early dawn, with the sounds of
-ehoring, found John sturdy and prac-
tical again, yet as he went up and

SOUR STOMACH

Sour Stomach and Biliousness are
caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is
not working properly, it holds back the
bile, which is so essential to promote the
movement of the bowels, and the bile
gets into the blood instead of passing
through the usual channel, thus causing
many stomach and bowel trou byes.

inches apart. This gives the inmost
tonnage of potatoes of desirable' size.
The writers experience has been that
seed of large size (two to six entices)
produce stung, vigorous shoots, as
they furnish an ample supply of plant
foinl to sustain a strong tmd vigorous
growth until the feixlcr roots can take
up the food from the sell.
During the last two years the hest
results were obtained from planting
medium sized whole seed. While the
cost of the seed has been considerably
greater, the stand has been approxi-
mately perfect. Experience has prov-
ed that from one or two eyes only are
sprouts developed in uncut seed. The
seed end furnishes a strong vine. The
other eyes usually remain dormant.
One of the greatest advantages of
using whole seed is the protection
from disease whieb may be present in
the soil and which may attack. the
more tender exposed parts of the cut
seed.
As soon as possible after the pota-
toes are planted the cultivator should

shovels, each four or five inches wide

DIGGING POTATOES ON IRRIGATED LAND,
two heavy horses. These shovels
should run as close as possible to the
planted tubers without disturbing
them. The first cultivation adds to
the depth of the dirt over the seed
and permits the use of a light smooth-
ing barrow without disturbing the to
bers. The cultivator also loosens the
soil on each side of the row and better
fits it fol' the potato roots which will
soon invade it.
After this the potatoes should be
harrowed once a week, if possible,
first lengthwise of the rows and then
across, until the vines are five to six
inches high.
After this the cultivator is used, but
is not run so deep as at the first culti-
vation, Frequent Shallow cultivation
keeps the surface of the soil loose,
conserves the moisture and gives a
chance for the root system to spread.
PREPARING COfiN FOR HOGS.
Iowa Bulletin Offers Valuable Sugges-
tions to Farmers('
In the corn belt, where corn is the
principal hog food and hogs one of
the principal farm products, the best
method of preparing corn for feeding
to hogs is a question worthy of the
attention of every farmer. The most
common method of feeding corn is in
the ear just as it comes from .the
crib. Other methods that are often
used are shelling and soaking, grind-
ing and feeding dry, grinding and soak-
ing and grinding together with the
cob. It is estimated' that it took a
hundred million bushels of corn to
feed the hogs of Iowa last year, nc•
cording to a bulletin from the Iowa
experiment station. To have shelled
and ground this corn would have cost
$3,000,000. In order to find out wheth-
er or not such an expenditure would
be justified the animal husbandry sec-
tion of the Iowa experiment station
conducted aseries of experiments in
which corn prepared In all these dif-
ferent Eerent ways was feel to;` both
and old hogs. These experiments,
which were conducted during 1907 and
1908, producedsome interesting and
valuable results. The data and con-
' elusions obtained from these experi-
ments have been published in bulle-
tin No, 106. A careful study of this
bulletin" will be of great value to every
hog grower in the corn belt and give
a definite basis- on which to plan fu-
ture 'feeding operations. Copies can

inspected.
The colored silk sash long worn by
officers of our army, which for many
years teas ceased to form part of the
uniform, except for 'general officers,
was not adopted simply because it
looked pretty. It was originally in-
tended that this sash, which was very
strong, woven of silk and could be
stretched out to over a yard in width,
should be used as a hammock in which
wounded officers could be carried off
the battlefield.
And likewise the gundy colored
horsehair plume that flowed from the
helmet was not placed there because it
roosted so well. The original hair plume
hung down on the shoulders of the
wearer, and it was intended tbat it
should be n safeguard against a saber
cut aimed at the back of the beck, for
the long thick hair would turn the
blow and save decapitation or an ugly
wound. Today the little Bair tuft seen
on the headdress of mounted soldiers
is the result.
There is a reason why the flag at
half staff, as an indication of sorrow,
must always be hoisted to the top of
the staff before being lowered. The
flag is saluted when raised and low-
ered only when it is at the peak of
the staff.- So when it is necesasry to
display it at half mast it must be rais-
ed to the top before being finally low-
ered, for at this time the gun fires its
salute, and either the band or the
trumpeters are sounding appropriate
music or call.
Twenty-one guns, the number fired
in the international salute, were not
selected at random. The number was
chosen by our government because it
was the number long used by the Brit-
ish for their international salute. 'Why
the British used twenty-one guns was
no doubt due town early custom which
had for a warship salute seven guns.
A fort was allowed to fire three times
as many guns as a warship, because
in those days it was difficult to keep
powder in good condition at sea. It
could be kept in good condition on land,
and consequently the shore battery was
allowed a larger number, or twenty-one.
When the time arrived that better
powder was made and it could be car-
ried at sea without deterioration the
'warship was allowed the same num-
ber of guns as the shore battery, and

There was no doubt about the explo-

HAND AND SWORD SALUTES.
The Origin of the Former Goes Back
i s and the Time of the. Borg a a d the
Latter to the Knights of the Cru-
, sades—funeral Volleys and Taps.
Why does a soldier when saluting a
superior raise his band to his head
covering? The beginning dates back
to the time of the Borglas, if not to an
earlier date. In those days assassina-
i
tion was in vogue, and u order that
an inferior might not have a superior
at advantage the inferior was icon•
pelted when corning into his superior's
presence to raise his right hand, palm
to the front, to show that no dagger'
was concealed there. 1C rem this old
custom our band salute has come down,
The salute with the sword was not,
done that way is the beginning with-
out any reason. When knights of the
