It is needless for us to tell you why it is so important that this big fund '•»' raised. You know it. You know hiw necessary it is for the injured and sick soldiers to be taken care of. V ou know that it is the most Christian like act you can perform. Less than two per cent of the money given for this cause is used for expenses and the rest of the money. 98 per cent goes for the actual work of relief. To vc--oire Adams county's share of this fund, some must give a snug sub Scri- ■ tion. all must give some thing. Give what you i nti if its only a dime.

With eggs selling at 27*4 cents in St Louis yester-' day. 29 cents in Kansas City, and 30 to 31 cents in Chicago, the Tribune received the following telegram from H.' A. Emerson, now in New York. He is 1 the man who egged the government’ on to make its egg investigation tn Chicago, netting twenty-five indictments. The telegram reads: ’ "The egg market here is complete.ly demoralized. Every cold storage . warehouse ins New York and Jersey . City, with one exception, is full to the , roof. The holdings are 259,000 cases heavier than at this time a year ag >. | | "Finest fresh eggs arriving today 1 sold at 29 to 3o cents a dozen. Tne ’ general sentiment is that the price. ‘ will go down to 20 cents a dozen with in thirty days. Lack of cold storage space and the action of the United States grand jury in Chicago will sa /e the consumers of the. United Stat 's $10,009,000 on eggs during the next six’ months.” I As a result of the continued cool weather, eggs have continued to %o into storage well past (he normal storage season, and this has brought about big ctorages, and some predict th-itj this may later cause heavy financial losses among those who packed liberally al prices.

She had seen herself in other mirrors and , knew that her eyes were bright and i that her skin was satiny, with u tinge I of color that wits the envy of the sum- I ' mer boarders who frequented the point • of land that stuck its nose Into the Atlnntlc ocean down Cape Cod wny. This day,* Valentine's day, she was angrier than she had ever been In her life before. I'ntleni e Cotton hud shown her a valentine that had been slipped under her door early that morning. It ' was a home-made affair, two cut-out hearts with a bunch of dried forget-me-nots tied together with a bit of blue ribbou. In one corner was a faintly traced , monogram entwined with the outlines: of a rudely-drawn heart. i It was this monogram that had flared to white heat the linger smolder- ( ing in Charity's breast, J. F. could only mean Josiah Foote and he had • left her a few nights before with a ( look iu his eyi-s that had turned her world upside down. She agreed that it had come from Josiah. And of course she was glad lie cared so much for Patience. But a little later she mounted the steep I stairs to her room with lagging feet. ] walked slowly across the room to the chest of drawers, and with face between her two hands looked herself straight in the eyes. | Her mother's voice brought her to I herself and recalled to her mind that I Josiah Foote had told her he was com- ' ing oxer that evening to bring her , Something he had bought in Boston when he was there the week before. To her surprise. Charity found him iu the hall taking off his hat and coat. "Guess I might as well give it to ' you here,” he said nervously. “Your mother’s in the sitting room and I | mayn't have another chance.” He handed her an envelope, his face flushing as he did so. With a Nairpin she carefully slit the envelope and drew from it a wonderful confection of paper lace, cupids and hearts with a dear little house half ■ hidden by a lattice covered with roses. ' Tied to tile top with a clumsy bow of I blue ribbon was a ring set in turquoise j to represent a cluster of forget-me-nots. ”Oh 1” she cried, "for me? How did you know I wanted one? How could you know?" | He came a step nearer to her. “I . didn’t. But it looked so like you when I 1 saw it in the window in Boston that ' 1 had to go in and buy it. Patience Cotton happened to come along and ( thought, us I did, that it was real pretty.” The name brought her back to earth. “Patience!” she repeated the name slowly, but looking at him. “She was here this morning and told me you had bought a ring for her and were going to bring it to her tonight—that you had left it In Boston to have a date, and your initials and hers, en- ! graved in it. I hud forgotten.” Then : she flared around upon him. eyes lilaz- ' ing, color dei'iH'iiing. "How dare you bring this to me? How dare you?” I He looked at her in amazement, then , swift anger took possession of him. "There is nothing I do not dare,” he retorted, catching her wrist in his hand as she thing past him. “Nothing—do you understand? But 1 will know what you mean. What's all this fuss about? Are you going to teU me?” "No.” He changed his tactics. “Look nt me. Charity.” As she did not Jift her l head he put Ills disengaged hand under ( her chin and lifted her face. There was a little quiver of the lips and to her everlasting shame the tears that , bad filled her eyes rolled dow n her cheeks. “Let me go. Jo. Let me go.” “Not until you have told me. You see. Charity, I care so much that I don't intend to let foolishness, or anything Pntleiice Cotton may say. come between us; that is,” be said diffident- ' ly, “if you have the least thought of me. I bought the ring for you, not for her. If you will look inside you will see the letters ‘J. F. to C. W.’ and some Fyench words. I “I told the jeweler that I wanted ’ something else besides the initials, ’ and he said ‘tout a vous’ was just the tiling.” z | For a moment he struggled with bis New England reticence before he could speak the unaccustomed words with their note of tenderness, “They mcnif wholly yours. Do yon feel that way toward me. Charity?” 1 “Now and always.

BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS Difficult to Buy Proper Feed Stuffs at Randam. fXallonal Crop lnipi,,rrnienl SrrruiJ There are not a dozen feed stores in the country that carry in stock all the ingredients of a first-class mixed feed at all times and at reasonable prices, and usually they do not carry feeds of the same high quality used by the mixers who work scientifically through a laboratory. This is human nature, t'opipetltion compels a dealer to sell the cheapest quality. The best quality of feed is seldom carried, because the average buyer will not pay the highest price. A good many exi periment stations in a general way will advocate that a farmer mix all his own feed, but they are human like the rest of us and they will use recognized brands in their own feeding operations rather than go to the trouble and take the time to follow their own advice There are a good many herds at experiment stations which are kept as sort of a clinic for professors to practice theories upon. The poor'brutes are used a good deal as guinea pigs in hospital practice. On the other hand, at the experiment stations are to be found many of the finest animals ever bred. The mixed feeds of the first grade can be fed alone or in connection with home-grown corn, oats or barley. To do this widens your ration, and it is correct to do so if it will reduce your cost of feeding Mixed feeds, therefore, are largely a matter of arithmetic. You can usually get the result for less money than by feeding more expensive grains separately. THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF * FEEDS. ' INlllwal Crop Improvement Service.) Nitrogen is the most important and most valuable fertilizing element supplied by feeds, and it is in this element that they show the greatest variation. The Connecticut Experiment Station states that it was found that the average mixed fertilizer contained 2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in a table,that eighteen of fifty-two different feeds contained 3.93 per cent. Among this list is cottonseed and linseed meals, gluten seed, middlings, brewers' and distillers' products, and a few of the feed mixtures. It is obvious, therefore, that a wise selection of feeds enhances the value of the manure and consequently plays an important part in farm economy. BARLEY PRODUCTS. [NttbHiAl Crop Servtr*. ] Prof. J. P. street, in the Annual Report of t,\e Connecticut Agricultural Station for 1912. says: "That malt sprouts should receive more consideration from dairymen, especially in comparison with many of the proprietary mixed feeds containing only from one-third to one-half as murh protein as malt sprouts, prices being . considered.” He also states that dried brewers’ f grains, prices considered, in connection with the seed’s high analysis, is one of the cheapest high-grade feeds on the market.
