In ;?l lt Elmer's sweetheart. Nel ; . Calhcart. learns of his in fi -r*' ii'-e before Elmer does. Nel lie x is Elmer his inheritance is a million dollars. CHAPTER III ? Continued Elmer sat down *Tve decided not to 1:0 into that business after all. Mr. M<? d.v," he announced. "Since speak ing with you this morning 1 have re ceived a teleKnim from a lawyer In Musratin**, Iowa. Informing me that un<l'?r Ihe last will and testament of my Cncle Hiram Butterworth. of that e|fj, I am. with the exception of two man r bequests, the sole beneficiary el tn estate conservatively estimated | at a million dollars.** Of iil I the congratulatory hand shake he had received that morning nor.e equaled in promptness and in ten -11 y of grip t tie one which old Ansel gave him now. "By gravy !** crie-1 the hanker. "By gravy! If this aln t the best news I've ever heard, Elmer. You're the ricliest man in Pilar* itos an' the second ricliest man In the county. I congratulate you with all my neart." "Thank you, Mr. Moody. I must say I do not feel depressed about it myself. The first thought about it to uie after receiving that telegram was that I had ln?en going sixteen hour> a day for five years without a vacation ; and during that five years I have had to heat back a long way to regain my health. I was struu?lin;; for a prize ? and now the necessity for further struggle Is ended. I have come to the conclusion, therefore, that I'll leave Sam Llaskins in (losses sioi; of his monopoly." At that moment Nellie entered to return the telegram to him. "I'm aw fully happy for your sake, Elmer," she t?'!<l him. "Still, tills Is not .1 surprise to me. I told you last night that with in a week your ship would come in." M I hank you, Nellie. I came down to tell you first, but of course you know it already. Old Lady Bray had broadcast it." "Yes, she telephoned me first, El inor" Ansel Moody turned to his paying teller and trust officer. "Why didn't you telephone me this great news, Mks 1 at heart?" he demanded. "I would have informed you when 1 reached the bank this morning, Mr. Moody, if Alice Goodfellow hadn't tol?| rue she had telephoned you at your home." Old Ansel could have stabbed her ] hio paper knife. To cover his confusion he picked up the telegram ?r.rt studied it carefully. Sur-. somebody ain't tryln* to play a practical joke on yon. Rimer?" he , asked finally, "if y0u want. I'll wire | ?ome bank in Muscatine an* ask them to ^investigate an' report." If you will be kind enough to do U,a' Mr- Moody, I will be under obli gation to you." ' ertainly. Miss Cathcart, attend to | mat matter, please. Elmer, If this ank can serve you in any way. always i rem ember that that's what we're here | to serve our customers. Good wck to you, boy. an' God bless you!" i ie shook hands with Elmer again, j *ery cordially, and answered the tele *7one- Elmer followed Nellie out Into the lobby of the bank. "Don't be misled by Mr. Moody's ^ endliness. Elmer," she warned him. ' ,s af,er your account. If he hadn't j ? advance information he would not a\e waylaid you this morning and offered to finance you." "Think so?" Elmer was a trifle doubtful. Know so. The man's a shark.

"What are yon going to do, Elmer?" I m going to Muscatine as soon as ? can, have a consultation with Mc leake. learn what the estate consists of and then decide what I am going to do. While I'm away you can use the flivver." "Thanks, Elmer. Want me to teed your dog and the canaries?" He turned toward her Impulsively and laid his hand over hers, where It clasped the wheel. "You're a sweet heart. Nellie." he murmured. Nellie looked at him with love lights In her eyes, but suddenly remembering that he was now a millionaire and she must not he guilty tonight of a ten dency toward a seniiment she would not have bothered to repress If Elmer had been as poor as Job's famed tur key, she withdrew her hand from un der his and asked him how many trout he had caught that day. "Ten nice ones. Nellie. Somehow ' 1 couldn't keep my mind on the flsh today. It's quite a shock to become ? millionaire without warning." "You'll grow accustomed to It. By the time the novelty at buying what ever you want has worn o(T. you'll have learned much of men and mo tives. Pi .ably, too. you'll have learned much about women. And of course you'll not live In I'llardtos." "Really. Nellie, you wouldn't blame me for leaving this little country town of three thousand Inhabitants. I've | been weary of It for a long, long time." i "You've had the wanderlust ever since you went away to the war." ! Nellie complained. "However. I sup pose you'll come back occasionally to I vislr your real friends in Pllarcitos." "Of course. Nellie. By the way. did Moody receive an answer from the I Muscatine bank?" | "Not up to the time 1 left the office" I j "I'm not going to make any definite plans until that telegram comes, i Nellie. Suppose McPeake's telegram has been garbled in transit Suppose some trick clause should develop In the will Suppose I have to do some I fool thing before 1*11 be eligible as a residuary legoree; suppose I decide not to do It and the million dollara i goes to charity." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Crop Rotations Aid to Alfalfa Progressive Farmers Plan to HI.et Good Stand Re main Six Years. Crop rotations which permit a good stand of alfalfa to remain longer than two years are being developed by pro gressive fanners ? ?f the state, accord ing to T. (i. Stewart, extension agron omist at the Colorado Agricultural collide. Many are planning rotations In which alfalfa is allowed to remain for perhaps live or six years. If planned according to some systems, five or six years ot alfalfa, together with four or live other crops makes a 10 or 11 year rotation. Such a system provides more alfalfa than Is desired and too little of cash and feed crops. Stewart points out. Plan for 160-Acre Farm. A simphr plan tor a HJii-acre farm l::i\in^ :i m :: re farmstead, would in clude ;"?0 acres of alfalfa, allowed to remain five or six years if satisfac tory hay yields are obtained. The re maininir 10!? acres ran be divided into four fields of 2y * acres each and ro tated with corn. followed by sugar beets, and then barley as a nurse crop i for red clover. A *?eed crop of reo | clover and a cutting of bay can thus i be secured from the fourth field each year after the rotation is under way. A -."??acre field of alfalfa can he brought into the rotation as oerasion demands by seeding the barley field to alfalfa instead ot red elo\er. The 2"? j acre strip of old alfalfa is then fall plowed. The red clover crop cannot he itieludcd during the two years re quire.! to change the location of the ."h? acres of alfalfa, but the original plain can ne revived as soon as the change is completed. Potatoes, vine crops or small grain may he substituted for all or a part of the corn acreage In some districts. Stewart suggests. Sweet clover may he desired Inst end of red clover and the red clover may he cut for hay. At lower altitudes In Colorado, red clover will make two seed crops in a single year and has proved to be a satisfactory cash crop. Field for Each Crop. 1 "A well-balanced rotation will al | ways provide a good field for each crop that Is grown, furnish i proper balance between cash and feed crops, i and maintain n desirable balance he I tween cultivated and non-cultivated crops," Stewart says. Aver Sweet Clover Will Keep White Grubs Away Right alongside of the old sayings I that an "apple a day keeps the doctor | away" and its parody "an onion a day | keeps every! tody a way" there is to he ! added another ? "sweet clover hay | (hay used for rhyming only) keeps j white eruhs away." That is what L. F. fSraher of the j agronomy staff of the Wisconsin Col lege of Agriculture told visitors to the Farm ami Home week. What he pro posed was not to use sweet clover for hay hut for pasture because it has heen found that where sweet clover and. to some extent, red clover Is growing by itself in thiek sands or in blue grass, the grubs are generally scarce, while right in nearby June grass or timothy sod they may be present at the rate of 300.000 to 400, 000 per a ere. This, of course, brings back the Idea of growing sweet clover and red clover In blue grass without plowing the sod ? a matter which has been discussed pro and con for some time in the agrf* cultural press, declared Graber. This means of course the liming of pasture lands that are too sour for these clovers and often this liming needs to be done a year In advance ?>f seeding in the pastures. On poor lands Is may also mean phosphate. Feeding Cow According to Production Favored The low prices of dairy products makes it more than ever necessary for dairymen to feed and manage their herd with care in order to find a profit able market for feeds, states R. A. Cannon, Purdue university. The first step in meetng the present situation is to feed properly. Kach cow should have a balanced ration, based on her individual production. The roughages available will deter mine the grain mixtures to be fed in order to balance the ration. Where legume roughages are available, a grain mixture containing 10 per cent digestible crude protein will be found satisfactory. Where legume roughages and silage are fed. the grain mixture should contain 14 per cent digestible crude protein. With mixed roughages the per cent should he increased to 15. Where roughages such as timothy hay. straw and corn fodder are fed the grain mixture should contain 18 to 22 per cent digestible crude protein. I Valuable Protein Is Found in Skimmilk High-Grade Cottage Cheese Offers Outlet for Product. 1 1'ftMrrd t>v t ho (.'tilted states Department ?>f \?:ri' altur.- ? ? VVNU S?rvic<-. Profitable utilization of milk by products is now more important than usual I ?? the farmer and the dairy in dustry. and the bureau of dairy in dustry, United States (department of Agriculture, is trying to tind profit* able uses for skimmilk. says O. EL lleed. chief of the bureau. "In one year's volume of dairy by products. which Includes skimmilk. buttermilk, and whey ? skimmilk be ing by far the most important ? there is about IMMi.iHKMMN) pounds of valuable food protein, a large part of which Is not being utilized to the best possi ble advantage." says Mr. Iteed. "Cot 'ago cheese, which is made from skim milk and which is largely protein, is, when properly made and merchan dized. one of the most profitable out lets available to the dairy products plant f??r utilizing the skimmilk. In the past many plants have lacked a standard method for making a uni form. high-grade cottage cheese. The bureau of dairy industry has. by expe rimental work both in the laboratory and on a commercial scale, demon strated a method which has consist ently produced excellent results. "This method produces what is called tiie !;:"*-?cid rennet-type of cot tage cheese. When bis type is made properly it has a rich, creamy appear a nee. a low acidity, good keeping qual ities. and distinctive curd particles, and is a product attractive to the con sumer "The bureau is Issuing a mimeo graphed circular which gives detailed information on how to make this type of cottage cheese. The title of this circular is The Manufacture of Low acid Rennet-type Cottage Cheese. Copies may he obtained free by writ ing the bureau of dairy Industry. De partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C." Cow's Health Indicated by Coloring of Her Eye When buying cows or heifers ? or any kind of animal foi that matter it is well to l??ok carefully at the eyes. Many a man has gone pains takingly over an animal's udder and bought when a single look at the eyes would have warned bin. of trouble to come. The normal eye is full and bright. The secretion of fluids about the eye should he normal, it an eye Is swimming in water, the animal may be going down with a cold and. when chronic, may be indicative f tuber culosis. Look out for "pink eye." a very contagious disease that soon spreads to all members of the herd Into which the Infected animal may be introduced. The affected eye is pearl gray in color. A dull eye may Indi cate that the cow is anemic or tem porarily olT feed. This Is just another point to remember when buying new members for the heard. Allow Ample Space for Moisture Among Trees In planting currants and gooseber lies. It is quite common to find these set over against the fence or grass growing border of the garden. In some few instances this plan Is all right: hut where moisture is scarce these plants should he set in rows where they can he cultivated on both sides, having a space of nearly 10 feet between any plant and other crops. If planting apple trees at the same time ? and setting these rows 30 feet or more apart, as they should be to do tho best in later years ? one row of the small fruits may he planted mid waj between each two rows of apple trees. These will have passed their best years by the time that the apple trees have reached a size that requires all the space between for drawing on for moisture, so they may he dug out. FARMJIOTES A honey nee must visit 56,000 clover blossoms to make a pound of honey. ? ? ? If poison ivy is troublesome, start an early campaign against it with calcium chlorate. ? ? ? Pasturing the farm woodlot Is a poor practice. Trees and live stock do not mix. The trees are likely to suffer more than the stock. ? ? ? Damping oft of vegetable seedlings can be controlled by treating seed or soil with chemical solutions. Ask your county agent about this. ? ? ? Fattening cattle which get good leg nme hay ? clover, alfalfa or so. bean ? and corn will make excellent gains for three or four months without the ad dition of such feeds as cottonseed meal or linseed oil meal.

The public is anxious to get their money's worth for every dime they spend, and when they sec an unusual product at an unusually attractive price they recognize the many ad vantages it offers. This keen sense of values applies to practically everything people need, clothing, food, furniture, and even aspirin. That is one reason why more than nine million boxes of StJoseph's Aspirin have been sold in a single year, why thousands of people every day walk into drug stores every where, put down then* dime, and ask for StJoseph's Genuine Pure As pirin. StJoseph's Aspirin is both genuine and pure and it meets every government standard. No wonder people are realizing that it is nei ther sensible nor necessary to pay more than 10c for 12 tablets of "St. JoMph'f" genuine pure aspirin.
