NEII'S NEW Year's EVE

by Temple Bailey

Was there any place where sh« could be really quiet?

The Snow Began to Fall.

for some place where she might be alone. On the crest of a hill, far up the road, stood the schoolhouse where she taught. It was closed now and dark. '

“I will go thqre,” Nell said to self, and just then a voice behind her called: “Supper is ready.” “I don’t want any,” • Nell said wearily. “I’m going out for a little while, Mrs. McGregor. I’ll be back by ten.” The snow began to fall softly as she left the house, and by the time Bhe reached the school it was beginning to drift against the fences. There was no fire within, but Nell lighted one, and when the warmth began to steal into the room, she drew the one big chair close to-the hearth and in the peaceful loneliness gave, herself up to her thoughts. Bjit she was not to remain in peace long. There was a sound of sleighbells without, heavy steps on the threshold, and she looked up to see the burly form of a young farmer in the doorway. “Well, well,” he said, “I saw the light and came in. Who would have dreamed that you would be here alone ?” Nell Smiled wearily. “I came to be quiet.” " “Then you don’t want me.” “Oh, sit down,” she said, somewhat ungraciously. But he stood by.the fireplace and looked down at her. “What’s the matter?” he asked abruptly. “Nothing,” faintly. " “Don’t tell me that; I know bet-* ter.” “If I tell you,” she asked, “you mustn’t give me any advice. I have had so much advice I hate it.” He sat down beside her. “Tell ahead,” he said, “and I’ll promise to listen like the Sphinx.” “You see, it is this way,” she said; “my uncle in town is rich. He is a

miserly old man, and he made me miserable when I lived with him. I’m not going to tell you about my childhood, how little love there was in it, and how I was starved spiritually and mentally, as well as physically. When I grew old epough to understand that he could give me things, and had not because h 6 wanted to save and save, I left him and came here to teach; and now he has written to me to come back, and I don’t want

to go, yet he is sick and old and alone. I told Mrs. McGregor and she tells me to stay here. Then all the family talked about it and everybody advised. They meant well—-but I couldn!t stand it, I —l don’t want to go, but I must.” He started to say something, then checked himself. “Fd like to break ; that promise,” he said. “No, you mustn’t,” she said firmly. “You’ve all been so gpod to me here, and if you,’-’ she ca.ught her breath, “join the others in asking pie to stay It will make it so hard, for me to go.” “He doesn’t deserve much at youi hands,” the man stated. “I know,” she said wearily, “but to-morrow I begin a new year, and ?

, Nell went tc the door and looked out. As far as her eyes could see there was wintry whiteness and through the purple shadows of the coming night shone a few lights, like stars. Each light represented a farmhouse, and each house, like the one in which Nell was staying, was fuU of happy, noisy people. • And Nell was not happy, she w-a nt e d quiet. -Edke a hunted animal she looked this way and that

don*t want to begin it wrong, yet I don’t know the right ". “I don’t believe much in saying things,” the young farmer remarked; “my policy is to do them. And now, are you going to stay here in this lonely place much longer? It 1b snowing and it is late.” “I suppose I ought to go,” she said doubtfully, “but it is so lovely here in the«ilence.” “Look here,” he said suddenly,“don’t you keep your tea things in that little cupboard? I have got to go to town, and when I come back I’ll bring something for a little supper, and we can watch the old year out. Then I’ll take you home in the sleigh.” | “How good of you.” She held out her hand to 'him. “You haven’t bothered me with advice, and you are doing something to make me comfortable. That is just like you, Jack Norton.” He blushed a- little, this big kindly man, who- looked upon the

shiny in summer and secure in winter. Then Ashe thought of her life with her uncle in a dark apartment in the streets of the city. She knew that, in a way, it was a false idea of duty that would take her back. Yet she had to go, some force that was in her seemed impelling her. s. The ; wind blew in great blasts against the little house, the snow had gifted .up to the window sills, and white lines of it pointed across the window pane like ghostly fingers. Dragging footsteps came up the path. Nell listened. It was not Jack Norton; these were the steps of an old man. From the door a voice quavered: ’ Are you there, Nell?” “Uncle,” she said, fearfully, “how, did you come here?” “I met a young man down the road,” he said. “I wanted him to guide me to the McGregors. He told me you were here. “You didn’t answer my letter,” the old man went on, when she had made him sit down. “Are you going back with me?” Now that she was face to face with his meanness, it seemed to Nell that she could never go with him. “I don’t knogr,” she faltered. “Here’s a grateful girl,” the old man stormed, and just then the sleighbells jingled and, in another moment Jack Norton was in the room, his arms full of bundles, his eyes beaming. “So this is your uncle,” he said. “I thought So I directed him .here. You’ll stay and have supper with us, won’t you, sir? We are going to see the old year out and the new year in.” “Who are you?” the old man growled. “I?” Jack’s eyes flashed from Nell’s cowering figure to the grimness of the uncle. Then suddenly he took things in his own hands. “I’m the man your niece is going to marry,” he said. “What!” the old man shouted.

“I’m the man your niece is going to marry,” he said securely. He had seen the joy in Nell’s face. . “But she Is going home with me." Jack shook his head. “No, she is going home with me. You can come whenever you wish, sir. The old house is big enough for twenty

uncles, or if you like it better, there is a cottage at the edge of the farm where you could stay if you wished.” The old man flashed a crafty glance at him. “Would it cost me anything?” he asked. “Nothing," said Jack. “Then marry her,” said the old uncle, “and I’ll come and live in the cottage alone.” Nell’s face was in her hands, and, as Jack bent over her, she whispered, “Oh, I can’t let you do it!”

“It is the onji; way that you can make my New Year happy,” he told ‘her, and as she looked up into his face she knew that what he said was true. (Copyright.)

CA[?]MENT NEEDED INBREEDING COWS FOR DAIRY

Animals That Produce Pound of Butter and the Cheapest Are the Ones to Keep—One Reason Why So Many Herds Do. Not Return Profit From Their Food and Cost of Attendance. ’. ;

(By W. M. KELLY.)

There Is no phase of the dairy , business that needs more study or more careful management than does the breeding of the cow. Upon the cow depends success or failure and we must, after selecting her, look to her care and her feed, and to the handling of her products. The fact that dairymen have devoted more attention to other phases of their dairying than to the breeding and development of the cow is one of the reasons why so many of our dairy herds are not capable of returning a profit from thfeir food and cost of attendance.

We are often asked which is the best breed of dairy cattle to select for the dairy? To such men I would say that there is no best breed. Some think because they have Jerseys they are on the royal road to success. Others think that the Holsteins will bring prosperity to the farm. This is a sad mistake, for scrubs are very common among the purebreeds, and a pure-bred scrub Is without doubt the worst scrub of all. Select cows having individual excellence as determined by the Babcock test and scales In starting a herd. Better and more uniform results of breeding may be secured If the animals are of one type of breed and great care should be exercised In getting individuals which possess to a certainty the characteristics we desire to perpetuate in the herd. What we dairymen want is a herd of cows that will give a profit at the pall, whether pure-breds or grades. The ones that will produce a pound of butter or cheese the cheapest are the ones that we want to keep In our herds.

We have a number of improved breeds of dairy cows that the skill of years in their Perfection, but in adopting any of breeds we should consider the conditions and environments under which they have been developed In their original homes and then plan to make our care and feed and general management conform to the conditions under which the breed had been developed. If a man has Jerseys, give them Isle of Jersey care and feed for they cannot succeed on scrub fare and fodder. They were not intended, for that purpose.

The Jersey cow is a delicate, nervous machine and requires warmth, kindness and liberal feeding to make her profitable. If Holgtelns, are selected do not expect them to thrive on closely cropped, scanty pastures where they are compelled to rustle all day to gather sufficient food. Give them the care they were developed under, large amounts of succulent forage and well Cured hay, warm stables and kind treatment. You may get pure-breds if you can afford them, but, all farmers are not able to buy pure-breds. However, always use. a pure-bred sire, The breeding bull always represents half the value of the breeding power of the herd if it is desired to grow calves for the dairy. Select them from some of the wellknown families of the breed and be sure that he* possesses prepotency which gives promise of being a good calf-getter. A bull of this kind will give you excellent results lit improving the herd. Some of the best herds in the country are high grades that have resulted from the continued use of good sires. ... In order to be successful as breeders we must learn some of the lessons associated with our stock; have an ideal type in our and always in our selection and mating be seeking to improve the type and standard in our herd. ‘ The best special purpose animal is none too good. Nbver strive to produce a general purpose animal by mixing beef and dairy breeds. Alm to produce the animal whose special characteristic is the cheap production of a pound of butter or a gallon of milk. Always seek to have the crosses in harmony. Do not mate extremes. Vigor and constitution are two-essen-tials. Unless a cow possesses vigor in

constitution she will , make a poo* breeder. Do not Inbreed unless you have a ■definite object in view, such as intensifying some particular good quality and then do It by breeding the sire to some of his own get This should not be followed up too 1 closely. Plan to have the heifers drop their first calves at about 24 to 80 months of age. Their offspring will! be more vigorous and there will bo better results than by forcing an lmmature animal to bear progeny. Breed cows are large feeders. Feedl them a liberal ration of mllk-produo-Ing foods and give them the best of! care. Keep In mind that bad qual-i itles are more easily transmitted than! the good ones. {

MULCHING THE STRAWBERRY BED

Where Straw Is Not Readtlv Obtainable it Is Difficult to Get a Covering of Ri«ht Thickness. J (By H. F. GRINSTEAD, Missouri.) Where straw is readily obtainable It Is difficult to spread properly over the strawberry plants so that It will be thick enough yet not smother the plants or require raking off In thei string. j A mulch of oats or sorghum Is the best thing I know of that may be sown between the rows. Oats alone has been tried, but from the fact that we often have a very dry fall it has not always made a satisfactory growth before frost. Sorghum or kaffir corn are dry} weather plants, and If there is suffl-i cient moisture in the soil to germin-i ate the seed they will grow till frost.; * A good plan is to sow oats and sorghum or oats and kaffir corn in mlxand thick enough so that It will! not be coarse. ' ■ . As soon as it is killed by the frost! the sorghum will fall, making an Ideal! mulch. Then, as the weather becomes! more severe the oats will be killed. Mulch grown in this way will always be found thickest where needed —in bare places ■ and between ' the rows, . It cannot possibly smother out the plants no matter how rank it grows, and is the best for keeping the fruit off the ground in the spring One of the greatest advantages in mulch of this kind Is that you are reasonably sure to have no weedssown with it, as Is often the case when using wheat straw.

LAY DRAIN TILE THROUGH SWAMP

Good Plan Shown Where Ground Xa So Soft as to Not Per* mit of Dicing Satis* _• factory Ditch.

It te frequently advisable to lay; drain tile through a bog or swamp where the ground is so soft as not to permit digging a satisfactory drai&i ditch. By driving stakes in the ground and laying a one-inch board on the tops of them, and upon this laying the line of tile, a good flow of water can be secured. This tile must be laid be-

low the wet weather water level And after the land has been thoroughly drained for a year or two the tile can be removed and the stakes driven deeper, so that it rests upon solid earth. ■ ' • -
