Miss Paget rose, unpinned her hat

stood surveying Wentworth with a
gleam of amusement in her eyes.
Then she crossed the room and leaned
out at the window. "Hi, there, Cab-
by," she called, "wake up, Bring in
the rest of that luggage."
CHAPTER XIX.
"There is another bit of baggage."
Dorcas spoke to the cabman, who
stood beside a carriage in front of the
Waverly Place house. He lifted lit-
tle Robin and set him on a seat with
a grip beside him. Dorcas paused
with her hand on the carriage door.
"Wait," she ordered, as the man
turned to go in the house; "here
comes Jason with a valise."
The cabman lifted it from the hand
of the old negro and swung it up on
the front seat.
"Jason," said the girl, beckoning to
him as she ran up the steps of the,
house. The servant followed her.
They stood under the dull gleam of a
lamp in the vestibule. She laid her
fingers on the nob of the inside door
and held it as one does when in fear
of an intruder. "Jason," she re-
peated, "I want to talk with you for
a minute."
"Yes, Missy." There was a tremor
in the old negro's voice.
Dorcas stood gazing at him steadily,
although a quiver in her chin belied
the bravery,
"Jason, don't ask me again to take
you with me," she pleaded. "If you
do I shall weaken. I do not know
where 1 am going myself. I have
nowhere to take you. I shall miss you
terribly, you understand that. But
you must stay here and look after En-
och and the house and everything.
You are needed here as you never
were in your life before."
"Fo' de Lawd sake, take me wid yo,'
Missy. I'll sleep anywhar. A cor-
ner in a cellar 'll do fo' me."

trying to separate insistent noises of
the street from everyday household
bustle. She heard Mrs. Billerwell
give an order to a servant, then Julie
laughed merrily, and a light footstep
sounded on the stair. On the other

the girl slam a window and begin to

squeaked rebelliously. Then she fell

The Care and Ran:lling of Milking
Machines.
Seven different kinds of mechanical
milkers have been operated under
varying conditions for periods of
1 from six months to five years by Prof.
Larsen, of the South Dakota Expert
ment Station. The results of hi
experience are summed up in the fol
lowing nine points which contain man
valuable suggestions, both for user
of the milking machine and for thos
who contemplate installing them,
1. Before the milking machine is
installed, cull out the cows having
very uneven quarters, and teats that
are extremely small and extremely
large. Even though the milking ma-
chines may have a large range of
adaptability in this respect, uniformly
shaped udders and teats are advant-
ageous.
2. The operator should know how
each cow in the herd gives down her
milk, and how she milks mechanically,
and adjust the work of the milking
machine according to the individual
cow.
3. The cows that gave only a small
amount of milk and habitually re-
lease their milk little by little are not
best suited for mechanical milking.
'-'-.r ^i
not be attached until the cow has giv.
en down her milk,
7. With some cows, and near the
end of the milking process, the teat
cups will climb upwards, The low-
er part of the quarter is thus wedg-
ed in to the upper part of the teat cup.
This may shut off the flow of milk.
The operator should gently pull down
y on the teat cups to release this grip
s or pressure before the machine in en-
c tire]y detached. If this bothers
much, a weight may be suspended
from the lower part of bhe teat cup
during millring. By gently lifting and
pressing the halves of the udder in
the latter stage of milking just pre.
vious to detaching, it will help the ma.
shine to milk the cow dry,
8. If the above points are observed,
many cows need no stripping. The
operator soon Iearns from the amount
of milk, and from the looks of the
cow's udder whether the cow is milked
clean. However, to he sore, the opera-
tor should try every cow by hand.
This should be done at once after milk-
ing. It may be accomplished by
shutting the vacuum off and stripping
directly into the teat cups, holding the
cups in the left hand and stripping
with the right; or it may be done by
stripping into the pail.
9. The different parts of the milk-
ing machine should be kept sanitary
by thoroughly cleaning, and by keep-
ing the parts in a disinfectant solu-
tion between ntilkings such as pre-
viously described,
Deep Stirring v. Deep Plowing.
Deep plowing is not so much f
preached now, since the bringing up t
of the substratum to the surface is 11
not altogether wise. Deep stirring, o
however, is anther thing—and this is p
encouraged to give air to the roots,
hence the success of dynamiting. At t
the same time, as pointed out by the t
e r
4 .Breed and raise cows that are
adapted to mechanical milking by,
first, selecting a herd sire that comes
from ancestors having good udders
and teats and that milk well, or select
a tried bull that is known to pat good
udders and teats on their daughters;
secondly, by not raising the daughters
of the cows that have abnormally
shaped mammary organs and that are
known do give down the milk irregul-
arly.
5. The operator of the milking ma-
chine should understand how to ad-
just the parts and the workings of the
milking machine to the different cows.
Ile should have a mental picture of
ow each cow in the herd releases the
ills, and how the work of the machine
nd the cow must work together and
of at cross purposes.
6. The operator should take time to
prepare the cow. Hes hould see that
the teats are all in normal condition.
With most cows, the machine should

puzzlinn, to note the influences of the
varying depths upon the crop. The
best return both of grain and straw
was obtained from the 6 in. furrow,
the deeper furrow being a good sec-
ond, while it was evident that 41 in.
was an insufficient depth for that field.
The only point in favor of bhe shal-
lowest furrow was that the crop rip-
ened rather earlier than on the other
portions. This advantage, however,
was gained at too big a sacrifice of
quantity and quality of yield. All
the samples gave the same weight per
bushel, 44 lbs. of dressed grain. The
returns of dressed grain were seventy-
one bushels, 8 lbs.; eighby-five
bushels 5 lbs.; and eighty-three
bushels, 4 lbs., per acre, respectively;
of light grain, 170 lbs., 155 lbs., and
130 lbs,; and of straw and chaff, 43

Saving Pastures For Next Summer.
In order that the live stock which
have been doing well on pasture dur-
ing the summer months may maintain
their gains, and for the sake of sav-
ing the pasture for another season, the
farmer should take care that his ani-
mals are brought in and started on
winter feed before the season becomes
too late. Cattle and horses, more es-
pecially the latter, if left out in Octo.

crop the pasture so close that there
will not be sufficient winter protection
for the roots of the plants, and in
spite of their efforts to secure suffi
cient nourishment by this means, wil
go back in flesh.
Milch cows are particularly suscep
tible to the action of cold or wet
weather, and one or two nights of
rost while they are lacking the shel-
er of the barn will set back the milk
ow to such an extent that the work
f restoring it by extra feeding will
rove very costly. The best results

ained when the animal is kept up to

If the land is. firm enough late in

ision must be made for feeding of a

French Colonies Render hhsthor
Country Valuable Service.
Few people, not even the French,
fully realized previous to the war the
extent and value of French colonial
possessions. An editorial writer in
a French newspaper recently admitted
that his government would have been
completely self-supporting in the mat-
ter of materials for munition fac-
tories if it had organized and develop-
ed tate mines in its colonies. As a
matter of fact, the war, which arous-
ed the hearty Co-operation of the col-
onists, has convinced France that she
is a richer and more important na-
tion than she thought she was.
Even a brief resume of French col-
onial aid is impressive, no ranks
of the army have been reinforced by
hundreds of thousands of Algerians,
Tunisians, natives of Morocco and
Senegalese, The war factories em-
ploy 15,000 natives from North Africa
and an equal number of skilled An-
namites from Cochin China. Eight
thousand Annamites are working in
tate Red Cross organization, Natives

gineers and New Caledonians are at
work in the mines.
