rtOOOOOOOQOOOOOQOOOeOOOOOt ! The ! Tie of Love '] I By T. B. ALDERSON ! eoooooooeoooooooooeoeooe (?, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) "Yes, Nellie is the last to lea' home," sighed Mrs. Waters to a rel Uve who had come to stay for a fe days. "She ls to be married ne: week." "All gone-Alice, Warren, Bartle and now the youngest," repeated tl other. "I should think you would 1 dreadfully lonesome." "Of course we miss them," replh Mrs. Waters, "but we are glad io s< them make their choice In life, we and happy. Alice has picked out very sensible man with a good bus ness. Warren will always be nei ns. He settled in the town her Nellie's prospective husband is a do tor in the city, with an establishc practice." "And Bartley-how has he g< , along?" Mrs. Waters tightened the lips tht expressed disappointment or resen ment, it was difficult to decide whtcJ "Well, if the truth must be known, she said, "Bartley has not made muc of his chances in life. He always ha a mechanical turn, you know, an / liked pottering about with tools an Inventing impossible machines. H could have married the richest gil In Dayton, but no, he never looks 01 sensibly for his own Interest! Aye? ago he took a month's vacation dow In the southern part of the state an came back with a bride. We wer more than surprised." "She-" "Oh ! the girl is all right, and he old father, too. ns to intelligence an respectability, but worse than poo: absolutely at the vorge of destitutio when Bartley came across them. Wer really living in a tent down there i the swampy country. It would almos seem ns if Bartley had married Wir nie Blake from charity or pity." "They don't get along-" "Oh, yes. they do-perfectly happj The girl fairly idolizes Bartley, an he is more than content grabbln along, dreaming his old dreams c startling the world with some grea invention, and just making ends race "Winnie and her father encourage hir In his speculative ambition, for the think he is the smartest man In th world." "Maybe he ls-give him time to de velop," suggested the relative. "Hardly, saddled with debt and ai old man who will never be able agai: to make his living," sighed Mrs. Wa ters. Her impulsive son and his adorln wife recked little that the sho pinched hard at times. There wa a romance in their lives that woul always remain. On .1 walking ton ^ ? ?own state,'Bartley hid. come aeros . thc Bl^es, father-apd d?^^ ..? ?ered by V ient cn the*; po?r -4C^a?B patch where'they had grabbed out ? living for years. Only n week previ ous the house and barn had hurnei down along with a lot of grain am equipment. They were absolutely bec gared. Bartley lingered fascinated b; the pure, Innocent nature of the lovel; girl who strove to encourage he stricken father that better days wer? In store for them. Fate fashioned tin outcome, and Winnie went back t< Bartley's home town, his wife. Over a year went by, and a bab] came. Bartley had made little prog ress in h!te business, for half of hil time he was working on an inventioi that looked promising. At the las: he discovered that an essential princi pie of Its construction had been de vised previously by a college profes sor, of itself no use to the inventor but without the right to use it Bart ley's machine was minus a valuable es sential. The college professor was only willing to transfer it for several thousand dollars. Little Dal ty, the babe, was only s few weeks old when Mr. Blake one day disappeared. Winnie was deeply worried and Bartley was alarmen. They searched vainly for a trace ol the missing man. They feared for his safety-aged, penniless, unfit for hard ship as he was. Then one evening as Winnie, the .babe and Bartley were seated on the porcn, the first named uttered a vivid scream. The depot auto circ'?d up to the curb and Albert Blake alighted. / "Sort of tired from a long train ride, 60 thought I'd hire a conveyance," he chirped gayly, after Winnie had wept for Joy on his shoulder and Bartley hugged him In glad welcome. "My new suit? Why, yes, Professor Smith helped me pick lt out." "Professor Smith?" repeated Bart ley amazedly. "Was with him all the morning. I mustn't forget to give you ine doc ument transferring his patent to you. Paid cash for it. I say, son Bartley, at last I can prove to you how I cher ish your goodness to rae and mine." "You see, it was all through a news paper Item I happened to see telling how farmers had girdled and de stroyed their trees to get a chance to plant, and how black walnut had got to be so scarce that an old farmer in Maryland got a thousand dollars for four old stumps. That set me think ing of our old wood lot In the swamp -remember lt Winnie? Not a tree touched, and 80 acres of it. I went back there with a timber cruiser and, Bartley, after paying the professor I've got enough cash to put your patent through and make us all rich for life." Which came about, and Mrs. Wa ters nowadays speaks proudly of "my son, Bartley, the manufacturer," and his estimable family-or? Albert Blake included. Live Stock News BRAND TUBERCULOUS CATTLE New York Commissioner of Agricul ture Orders Letter "T" Put on Affected Animals. By a recent order of the New York commissioner of agriculture, ajl prac ticing veterinarians in that state are required to brand cattle found by them to he affected with tuberculosis. The order specifies that the brand shall be the letter "T" not less than 2 or more than 3 inches high and on the left jaw. The new regulation, which became effective in March, was issued by Com missioner Charles S. Wilson under au thority of the agricultural law. The order applies to all hovine animals within the limits of the state. Vet erinary experts of the United States department of agriculture consider it will he of croat value to live-stock breeders of New York and also an im portant step for any state to take In the progress of tuberculosis eradica tion. Reactors are permanently mark ed by the branding process and in cases where they ure not slaughtered the possibility of their being disposed of or losing their identity is greatly lessened, if not entirely eliminated. RAISING SHEEP FOR MUTTON There Are Many Areas, Especially In Hilly Regions, Where Few Ani mals Could Be Kept Sheep are not very generally kept on farms for supplying the home fam ily with meat. There are many areas, especially in hilly or mountainous re gions, where nearly every farm could keep a few mutton sheep to advan tage, says the United States depart ment of agriculture. Boys' and girls' clubs in some parts of the country have done much to foster home pro duction of mutton. "Sheep naturally graze over rather wide areas and seek a variety of plants. This habit partie ilarly adapts them to being kept in large numbers on lands of sparse vegetation or fur nishing a variety of grasses or other plants. They do better on short and fine grasses than on coarse or high feed. They will eat a good deal of Sheep Do Best on Fine and Short Grasses. brush and, if confined to small areas, will do a fair job at cleaning up land. When used in this way, or on land producing brush only, they can not be expected to prove very satisfactory in the production of good lambs or good wool."-Formers' Bulletin 840. HOW HOG MANGE ?S SPREAD Disease ls Contracted More Rapidly Among Animals of Low Vital ity-Cure by Dipping. Hog mange is spread mainly by di rect bodily contact, according to in vestigations recently conducted by the United States department of agricul ture. The disease is contracted most rapidly among hogs of low vitality, especially those kept- In small Inclos ures. It spreads more slowly among vigorous animals kept in pastures or in clean, well-lighted roomy pens or buildings. Failure by swine owners to control hog mange results in heavy losses from shrinkage as well as from a high death rate. The department states that the disease can be eradi cated by four dippings in a lime-sul phur or arsenical solution with in tervals of 6 to 7 days between dip pings. j LIVE .j3jn&?Kj Each pregnant mare deserves a6tall to herself. ? * * Farrowing time often determines profit or loss to the hog grower. . * * Hurdles mean more sheep to the acre.
