«« Y ES?* She moved here three years
ago and she has not made
friends with any of ns.” Linda's
puzzled blue eyes lingered upon the
curtained windows of the cottage
next door.
“But,” demurred her guest, “isn't
ft the custom for suburbanites to call
upon newcomers?”
“And another thing. > She is always
bragging about what she’s going to
do. She told me two years ago that
she was going to paint the house.
Then, when I offered to help her start
a flower garden she refused, quite
curtly. Said she couldn’t bother
planting seeds, that she liked better
to buy from the florist."
“She hasn’t filled her flower boxes
yet and it’s July.”
Surprise dawned in Linda’s face as
she twisted forward to observe the
little front porch of her neighbor.
“Why that’s right. She told me in
May that she intended ordering from
that new florist. That she wanted
both boxes filled with big scarlet
geraniums. She said her son was
crazy about red flowers. He is away.’"
“And,” remarked Agatha thought
fully, “I want to tell you that when a
woman looks like that woman next
door there Is a reason for it. I think
myself that she’s lonely.”^

parting guest she stood on the porch

Preventing Hog TB
Prevention of hog tuberculosis,
second only to hog cholera as a
cause of loss from swine diseases,
lies in the pasteurization of milk
fed to hogs (especially that from
ereameries), in allowing hogs to
feed behind adult cattle only when
the cattle have passed the tuber
culin test, and in thoroughly cook-
! ng offal and carcasses fed to hogs.
Safe disposal of tuberculosis poul
try is also an important preven
tive measure. Tuberculosis is most
prevalent among hogs in sections
.vhere the disease is common
imong cattle and poultry. When
tuberculosis exists in a drove of
logs, all affected livestock on the
iremises, whether cattle or hogs,
•hould be properly disposed of.

It was formerly thought that
common salt was essential in the
successful culture of aspa^aeus
but no experimental work has con
clusively shown this to be the
case. It has been shown repeated
ly, however, that a good supply of
potash in fertilizers is of great,
value. It is true that asparagus
does not seem to be injured by-
considerable amounts of salt, but
at the same time, neither is It
particularly benefited by it. The-
best fertilizer treatment to give
asparagus is a complete mixture
’ moderately high in nitrogen and
phosphorus and high in potash.
