AGENT’S COLUMN ♦ - • Good management can prevent much of the trouble from colds in the flock. Damp, dratty, unsanitary quarters are often thought to be responsible for the spread of colds. Many poultry houses are kept too tightly closed nt this eeason of the year. This retards air movement and prevents excess moisture from

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX It was all over. And Patricia, lying in her own bedroom, safe, secure, flung across the bed, was sobbing. She was still in evening dress, Julian’s orchids, crushed and crumpled, still clung to her rhinestone shoulder strap. She had wept, she thought, forever. She thought that she would never stop. For weeks she had controlled herself. The floodgates were loosed at last. Deeper, deeper she forced her shaking body into the pillows. She wanted to beat her head against the floor, to scream until she could not think, to do anything that would annihilate the desperation of her spirit. Her own violence wore her out but she was still sobbing quietly when Julian rapped at the bedroom door. "It’s very late, Patricia.” No answer from the girl. “Please unlock the door. Let me in. I must talk to you. You must be sensible.” “Go away, Julian. For heaven's sake go away.” “When you want me I’ll be in the card room. I’ll wait, if need be, till morning but we must talk it out” Hi s footsteps retreated. She heard him going down the stairs. After a long time she sat up and looked dazedly about the familiar, luxurious, rose-colored room. Outside the storm, like her own despair, had reached its height. Drapes of rosy taffeta shut out the sight of it but not the sound. She could hear the wild dash of the rain against the panes, the creaking of the trees, the howling of the rain. Julian was waiting for her in the card room. As she had seen him a thousand times before, she imagined him now, slumped in the leather arm chair, a pack of cards spread on the table before him, his forehead knotted beneath his shock of snow white hair, his gray eyes intent, his mind absorbed upon some problem of the only game he considered worth a moment’s concentration. Julian waiting for her to come and talk it out. What use was further talk? There had been too much talk already. Words that got them nowhere. Julian would never understand. He was incapable of seeing her side of it. For him the problem had been solved. He, Julian Haverholt, had saved the situation. He had saved the 'shreds of her reputation. Certain doors might be shut to her, certain stories might go the rounds, certain very proper people might sniff and raise the eyebrow. The fact remained that Julian’s audacity and nonchalance had scored again. He had snatched victory from defeat. By his magnetic legerdemain he had turned a major scandal into the appealing overture of a front-page romance. The girl admitted that, bleak and unrejoicing. A spotless reputation —and hers was hardly that —was little solace to a breaking heart. Futile to remind herself that other girls had married men they did not love for reasons less urgent. She was not like other girls. She was herself. “I can’t,” she said aloud. "I can’t.” The storm raged on. The winiows strained as if they might ourst in, the latches groaned. Presently ahe walked across the room, pulled back the drapes and peered through the streaming panes into the wildness of the night. She stood there for many minutes. Once she whispered, “Clark.” The wind whined in maniacal fury, the tree tops rioted together; somewhere a loosened shutter, Blown with every savage gust, banged to and fro against" ihe house. The cataract of noise was

Male birds are usually used in the proportion of one to 12 hens, in the case of Reds. Rocks, or Wyandotte-s, or one male to 15 or 18 Leghorn females. Special precautions may be necessary to prevent the large combs of the males from becoming frosted during cold weather. Males with badly

maddening to insanity. That shutter. There it went again. “Why doesn’t someone fix it?” Patricia demanded in querulousness, near hysteria. Her own voice frightened her. Pressing her hands against her throbbing temples she turned from the window, jerked at the drapes. Something caught. The pin that held her orchids. She tore the ruined flowers free, flung them to the floor. Suddenly she removed her crumpled frock, walked to the closet and selected n'ot a nightgown but a tailored suit. She hardly knew what she was doing. Mechanically, she stepped into the skirt, pulled on the frilly little blouse, the simple coat Next, she changed her stockings and her shoes. Her plan was formulating. She had borne enough; she could bear no more. .Escape at any cost was the essential thing. To pit her decision against Julian’s will, to face his arguments, his threats, his pleading was impossible tonight. And, she must leave tonight. At the desk where she had sat so often, she seated herself to write her parting note. How hard it was to frame. A dozen efforts were cast aside. All at once Patricia swept the crumpled sheets together, tore them into bits, tossed them into the wastebasket “You coward,” she said. “You utter coward.” What had she been about to do? Often Julian Haverholt called her absurd and childish and foolish. Those terms had stung. Still at her greatest opportunity to display her personal integrity, her common decency, her bravery, she had reacted like a frightened, vicious child. In her own unhappiness she had forgotten Julian. If he had failed to see her side of it she had most certainly failed to see his. Because she was wretched she would rob him of the triumph of a life-time. She owed much to Julian. She owed him less than marriage and more than flight. There must be some middle ground. Patricia found it. By reason of their engagement, she could in all dignity insist that she should leave this roof. Julian himself should accompany her to a hotel. Until the bridge marathan had run its course, the engagement should stand. Upon the termination of the match, she would slip from Julian’s life and from the world that knew her, and try to find what happiness she could in other ways than playing bridge. So Patricia planned it. In a mood more mature than she had known in her nineteen years Patricia pulled out the smart pigskin bag that had once delighted her and knelt to pack the necessary clothes. After all, there was a kind of bitter satisfaction in knowing that the worst had happened and that she had survived it. From the beginning she had feared exposure. She had been exposed. From the beginning she ha 4 feared that Clark's love was not for her. That, too, was true. It was at a time like this that the gambling blood her father gave her stood the girl in good stead. It’s all in the breaks, Patricia, he had told her so many times. No use whining, take the cards as they lay. That goes for life, too. I guess it goes for anything. Perhaps, she had not had the breaks. Why whine? She had gambled and she had lost. Anyone can smile when winning; the test comes in defeat. James Randolph Warren would have been proud of his daughter could he have seen her square her shoulders, pick up her bag and start down the darkened stairs to fight it out with Julian Haverholt. Holding carefully against the balustrade, the bag bumping against her knees with every step, Patricia reached the foyer. The

frozen combs seldom give good fortuity until they have recovered from the injury. For breeding flocks It Is wpll t 0 include about five per caul alfalfa leaf meal in the mgah, or else provide green alfalfa, elover, or soy bean hay in racks so that the leaves may be picked off by the birds. Excellent winter hatches are reported from flocks being fed no cod liver oil. provided the birds are allowed out of doors from noon each day. If the flock is strictly confined to

foyer too was pitchy black. Outside the storm continued unabated. A tapestry, blown bv a savage current of air, gave her an unpleasant start as it brushed against her arm. The noise was incredible. She heard the wild clamor of the wind, the ceaseless banging of the shutter, the creaking of the house itself, as she groped toward the card room and observed in faint surprise that the door was closed. Odd of Julian to close the door. “I’ll wait, if need be, till morning. I must talk to you tonight,” he had said. Had he gone to bed ? No. he would not go to bed until he saw her. She knew Julian well enough to understand his inflexible determination. She hesitated to form again in her mind the words which would combat the force of his argument. Julian would not approve. She must talk him down. Leaning forward she knock eci vigorously enough to be heard above the storm. There was no reply. Again she knocked with no result. “Julian,” she called and then shouted, “Julian.” Bewildered, shaken by some nameless dread, site stood very still in the darkness of the hall. Her mouth felt dry. Her heart waz pounding. Silly to be so disturbed. Julian must have gone upstairs. He had tired of waiting and had gone to bed. Somehow she felt sure he hadn’t. It was the frightful racket that upset her nerved and her apprehension of the imminent scene. Perhaps he had dropped to sleep inside. She knew the sounds ness of his slumber; he was a man who, by his own admission, could not be waked by less than an explosion. Patricia turned the knob, pushed against the door. With a sense of definite shock she saw that there was no light in the card room. A fine spray of water blew against her face. A Window must be open. “Julian,” called Patricia, her tone high pitched and frightened, “Julian.” Her voice was lost in the wildness of the wind. Suddenly she was desperately afraid. She was afraid to turn on the light. Her knees shook violently, a lock of loosened hair whipped across her mouth. Trembling, terrified, she fumbled for the switch. Light blazed into the room. , Julian Haverholt was seated in his leather chair. Cards were scattered on the table before him and were scurrying to and fro upon the floor where rain was dashing from the open window. Julian’s gray eyes were wide in a look of infinite surprise. Down his cheek a thin trickle of blood moved from a bullet hole in his forehead. He was dead. Patrieia knew that she was screaming. Above the wild fury of the storm she heard her owi screams of mortal terror. Julian’s open eyes stared straight into her eyes. Rain poured through the open window just behind him, beat upon the carpet, dashed across his hands. Blood moving slowly down his forehead, twinkled on his shirt front, shone upon the bustling cards beneath his outspread hands. They danced with every savage gust of wind, leaping from the table to tha floor like autumn’s falling leaves. The girl clawed backward at ths door and then ran forward with a rush and flung herself beside ths Leather chair crying senselessly, "Julian, Julian.” It was no use. Julian Haverhalt was dead. The smile of faint surprise was fixed forever on his lips. The rain poured upon them both, the murdered man and frantic girt
