bright crimson in the early twilight.
“Yes. I’m going to halloo like Fritz
does when he brings eggs to the hotel
to sell. I want Miss Anne to see my
new’ horse," laughed Kitty.
"No, you don’t. If Miss Anne Is such
a desirable beauty, I’ll just wait until

and guide have gone on ahead with my
traps." .•
"Oh, yes, they came In an automo-
bile this morning and took awful
’spensive rooms, mothef said. 1 guess
you’re rich.”
Turning a curve In the road, the
young hunter and his charge came to
the eptrance of the cottage. A woman
in gray with soft silver fox under her
throat, stood on the top step looking
off over the valley where a deep orange
burned in the sky above the fringe of
dark cedar trees.
The man stopped suddenly.
"Miss Anne,” called Kitty, “here’s
the man that’s going to stop at the
"Well, hello'" said the big hunter
clad In brown corduroy. ''What if I
had mlsuken you for a rabbit or a
deer, and shot you?”
The small figure of the chitd on the
ground straightened up and she push-
ed her blue cap from her eyes.
“You might have missed me. There
are lots of folks that carry a gun that
can't shoot and hit a thing. Maybe
you can, though. 1 don’t mean that
you couldn’t," apologized Kitty, puz-
zled by the man's sudden laughter.
"That's all right. You didn’t hurt
my feelings Your Ymnark couldn't
have been personal, for I have never
been in these mountains before, and
you don’t know a thing about me.
Aren’t you cold out here? What's that
you are doing?"
‘Tin getting galax leaves for Miss
Anne’s shrine.”
"Oh, is there a Catholic about
here?" m
“I don't know 'bout her being a
Cath’lic," answered Kitty. “These are
for a love shrine. It's all like the
most beautiful story, mother says. We
think Miss Anne's lovef died."
"Yes, women usually erect shrines
after tfretr lovers have gone,” said
Laurie Thorne bitterly. "I’d rather
get a few flowers while I am living
than have a cemetery full after I am
dead.”
“Are you going up the mountain?"
asked Kitty. “If you are, I wish
you’d carry this little basket of hick-
ory nuts. Miss Anne wants them for
a cake.”
’Til carry them for you," answered
the hunter gallantly, "but not for a
hysterical woman who builds shrines
to dead men."

HELPFUL HINTS FOR SERVING
THE SICK.

Make the tray as attractive as pos-
sible, using dishes which look well
with the food, when it Is possible. It
dishes nnd food fight In color it may
seem of no Importance, but often a
pick person Is peculilfrly sensitive to
clashing colors. A well arranged tray
will appeal to the eye and a fickle
appetite is often coaxed Into eating
simply because the food looks good.
Fashions In foods change, but the
fashion of serving food that la hot, In
hot covered dishes, Iced foods in#cold
dishes, Is not likely to change.
If possible, serve the tea or coffee
In a pot, as an invalid. If able, likes
lo pour out the beverage and s^ee|en
It to taste.
Never serve large amounts to an
Invalid, or fill a glass more than two-
thirds full; there are several reasons
for this. A glass Is not easily handled
!f full, by an unsteady hand, and too
large an amount may discourage the
patient from even trying the dish, It
he thinks he Is expected to eat It all.
Fven when a patient Is so,recovered
that it Is necessaey to feed him lav-
ishly, one must use judgment In over-
serving.
All food and dishes should he at
once removed from the sick room.
Doth food, and water absorb Impuri-
ties.
A hit of green or a flower or two on
the tray or in a small vase adds
much to Its appearance.
Never under any circumstances,
without a physician’s advice, give
liquor in any form. Many consider
egg nog Ineffective without liquor, hut
It may be much more so with fruit
juices or a dash of nutmeg or vanilla.
Mulled Buttermilk.—Thicken one
cup of cream with two tablespoonfuls
of flour; cook until smooth. Add a
tablespoonful of sugar to the butter-
milk and heat to the boiling point,
beating all the while with the dover
egg beater, then stir In the cream and
cook a few minutes. Pour over a well-
beaten egg and serve.

plow with a team of horses of the
harness type. Farmers are plowing
deeply these days, ana it is distressing
to see a light t^urn struggling with a
heavy plow.
The general tendency, therefore. Is,
when a light team is used, to allow
the plow to skim tho ground in order
to ease up on the team. If a team
of sturdy draft horses, weighing 1,300
to 1,500 each is used, they walk along
with a plow, running from six to eight
Inches deep, without the slightest dis-
tress.
The English Clydesdales and crosses
resulting from the use of French or
German coach horses make a good
all-round farm team. The infusion of
the French or German Coach blood
produces a horse of good action, while
the blood of the Clydesdales, Shires
and Perclierons keeps him heavy
enough, and close enough to the
ground to pull almost any load with-
in reason.
Fanners In the south still cling
lo the light breeds of horses, mainly
because there Is more horseback rid-
ing done, and the average farmer
wants a horse for all-around pur-
poses.
In the north, tho heavy breeds, such
as the Perclierons, Clydes and Shires
are most generally used.
The wise farmer will raise the type
of horse best adapted to his needs.
Generally speaking, where only one
team can be kept on the farm, the
horses should be sizeable enough to
pull a plow or draw a heavy wagon
load with comparative ease, and at
the same time light enough to get
along over the road with n surrey or
light rig at a fairly good gait.
If a farmer keeps a number of
borses he will, of course, use the
heavy type for plowing and other
heavy farm work, and keep a light
harness team for the road.

teaches the colt to lead, but also
shows it Its place. When the liar
ness Is to be put on it should be done
very gently, letting the colt become
used to It. Then drive it, using short
lines. When the colt is old enough
to do light work give it a few lessons
with the wagon, plow, harrow or any
two-horse Implement, always beside a
well-broken horse to act as teacher.

Many good horses aro spoiled when

have been teased by children, where-
upon they developed u mean disposi-
tion.
To mglie a colt easy to break, you
should make friends with it. Gain Its
confidence by feeding It from your
hand, petting and currying. A colt Is
-nearly half broken when you can
-catch it anywhere.
The colt should first be hnlterbroke.
|At first you will need the assistance
iof a driver, but he should be dis-

A good way to halterbreak a colt
Is alongside a horse. Tho rider can

sons tie tho colt to the harness of tho
Raising Early Lambs.
The sole object in raising early
lambs Is {o produce a fine animal of
good size and flesh and get him to
market at the earliest possible mo-
ment. To do that requires good feed-

from the time he la born until he is
sent to market.
VEGETARIAN DISHES.
n -
“Gruet buys more than he can pay
tor.”
"Yes; he has radium tastes and a
brass income."
For those of our readers who find It
pleasurable and profitable to subsist
on fruits, grains and vegetables, the
following suggestions may he helpful:
For breakfast food there Is none
more wholesome or tasty than wheat
cooked until It cracks open, served
with cream and sugar. Hominy and
rice are also good, as is farina and
cornmeal mush.
The numbers of soups that may he
prepared without meat are many, the
nourishing cream soups and those of
nuts and vegetables are fully as satis-
fying as soups prepared from meat.
Navy Bean Soup.—Cook together a
cup of beans and a slice of onion; add
five cups of water and simmer until
thp bean may be put through a sieve.
Season and serve w-ith the addittou
of butter.
Tomato Bisque.—Take a cup of
strained tomato, add five cups of
water, a half cup of peanut butter,
three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt.
Cook all together until well blended.
Salt, If needed, and serve.
Creole Soup.—Cook together a small
carrot, a small turnip, a large onion,
two tablespoonfuls of rice and a pint
of water. When all the ingredients
are tender vub through a sieve. Add
a cup of tomato, season and serve.
Fruit Salad a la Creme.—To a -
of sliced pineapple add a cup of seed
ed grapes and a large banana. Over
this fruit pour the following dressing;
Cook together two tablespoonfuls each
of butter and flour, half a cup of lent
on juice, fluee beaten yolks, two table-
spoonfuls of sugar, a cup of cream
and a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt
Cool and add whipped cream.
Make a circle of cold baked bears
In the center put a stuffing of bread
crumbs, seasoned with snge, onion
Juice, butter, salt and celery. Mix
with an egg and cover the stuffing
with the beans; bake and serve hot.
Silage Needs a Balance.
Cows should never be fed exclu-
sively on Bilage. They need some dry
forage to go with it; besides, silage is
a carbonaceous food, and needs some
more nitrogenous food to go with it
to make a well-balanced ration.
Remarkable Bible Verses.
The eighth verse of the third chap-
ter of Zephanlah contains every let-
ter, Including the finals, of the He-
brew language, while one will find In
the twenty-first verse of the sev-
enth chapter of Ezra every letter of
tho English alphabet except J. The
verse reads as follows: “And I, even
I. Axtaxerxes the King, do make a
decree to all the treasurers which are
beyond the river, that whatsoever
Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law
of the God of heaven, shall require
of you, It be done speedily."—Y’outh’s

FEW HINTS ON SKUNK FARMING

She’s going to stay bere all winter.
Mother’s very glad, for It’s company

lumber, ,and mother and I are staying |
in the mountains this winter so as not
to leave him alone so much."
Thq, child trudged bravely along be-
side the big six-foot man for a long
distance up the rocky road, then she
stumbled and sitting down In the
load calmly announced: "You go on
to Miss Anne’s cottage—you get to It
before you do to the hotel where we
stay—and tell her to send somebody
after me, I’m too tired to move."
“Get up off that cold ground," de-
manded Laurie. "I'll carry you."
“Can you do 11 lK\ ith that gun and
basket and—what is in that sack?" site
asked suddenly looking at the game
sack over his shoulder.
“Two or three wild turkeys. One
more bird won’t nmka any difference,"
ho laughed, "so come along!”
He swung her up on Ills shoulder j
and she sighed contentedly.
"I’m awfully tired. 1 guess I walk-
ed too far. Mother’ll scold If she finds
out I went so far alone."
"Right she’ll be to scold and spank

Is no place for stray babies.”

Treat
vegetable substances. Butcher and
table scraps given when fresh are the
main reliance. The food should not
be salted, and fresh water should be
supplied regularly.
Skunks are especially fond of In-
sects, and if the pens are largo
enough and favorably placed, the ani-
mals will forage for n part of their
food.
At least an aero of ground should
be Inclosed for each fifty skunks, and
even then there Is danger of canni-
balism unless there are plenty of
separate dens for the females. The
fence should be tnado of poultry net-
ting H4-iuch mesh. The posts should
bo set In ditches 18 inches or more
in depth, which should be filled with
broken stone or concrete. Another
plan Is to extend the wire netting
underground. The fence should be
three or four feet high and have an
overhang at the top to keep the anl-
j-isls from climbing over.
Skunks breed once a year and pro-
duce from six to eight young. They
are born In Muy or June, and mature
1>y December.
Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur. but tho en-
terprises have usually been given up
as unprofitable. According to the bio-
logical Burvey of the United States
department of agriculture, the chief
causes 'of failure have been cost of
fencing inclosurcs, cost of malnte-
i. of experience, leading
to ove> *owdlng and overfeeding the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals were successfully reared, it
•was found that the expense of feed-
ing them to maturity exceeded the
value of the fur, while in other in-
stances the antipathy of the neigh-
bors led to the abandonment of the
experiments. At present the value of
