Time never was at such a premitim and the telephone is the greatest time saver the world has ever known.

Every.body is busy; many are working overtime. The -effort to do two days' work in one would surely-be-a-oom-i plete failure except for the telephone.

The business man finds speedy communication necessary in these days of fluctuating prices' and uncertain deli ve.ry. Working, at high pressure he often feels the necessity of being in several vridely separated places at the ssune time. He is enabled, in effect, to do this BY A LIBERAL USE OF, THE TELEPHONE.

The telephone hais become^ftia.^ndiBpenfaW^^ chandising and, in fact, to busiJiess of every nature. . '

Present conditions axe indeed unusual, btit telephone service is sei'ving many problems and is thus pro'rtng to be a very important factor in the conservation of the business energy of the nation.

Conservation by telephone should, therefore, be our

watchword.

Decidedlytmlgne is this Idea: Pump-"În yellow hnndEerchlef linen is developed into a mannish, tucked front sleeveless blouse to, wear with a navy suit whose jacket is short and borlike In the latest fashion'Hue.

Eirectlve catstltching in heavy silk Is seen for spring.

A lovely siiade of amethyst suede dmped and clasped with a sliver buckle forms the belt on a white velours waistcoat made to go with a short Jacket of navy tricotine sui t The result is most pleasing.

Many different colored pitiues are used for collars and cuffs or lingerie blouses for sprlngr and this same material forms many of the smart vests and waistcoats made from eprlng suits.

A delicate gray handkerchief linen Is used for some of the most attractive handmade blouses that have arrived from Paris.

sive honses for their fowls without giving a thought to the real needs ot the • hen. Nothing plays a more important part In regulating the condition of the house than docs location. Wherever possible the house should be built on a southern slope and it Is better If there Is some protection, as a grove of trees, to the north. This will give the house plenty of sunlight during the greatest possible time and wiil olso protect it from the cold winter winds.

'duty will consist In encouraging the •use of fl'rewood In order to lessen the demand for coal. They •will demonstrate to farmers and other woodland •O'wners tnethods of cutting by Which •firewood Can be obtained with the best Tesults to the timber growth. Plans l o r securing and distributing firewood will be worked out for each territpry. It Is hoped to establish municipal -frood yards in various places nnd to decide 'on satisfactory methods of utilizing waste from saw mills and other woodworking plants. A special appeal will be made through the directors In the different states to the farmers to cut cord wood this 'n-inter and spring while other work Is slack.

In every household, no matter how economical the: housewife,

I;, there is a. certain amounf of ta-; ble scraps and kitchen waste which has feeding value, but which If not fed, finds Its way Into the garbage pall.

Poultry is the only class of domestic animals which is snital)Ie for converting this waste material, right where It is produoed in the city. Into wholesome and nutritions food In the form ot eggs and poultry meat.

Each hen In her pullet year should produce ten dozen eggs. The average size of the backyard fiock should be at least ten hens. Thus each flock would produce in a year 100 dozen eggs which, at the conservative value of 23 cents a dozen, wouid be worth 525.

By keeping a back-yard poultry flock the famil.v would not only help in reducinK the cost of X living but would have eggs of a T quality nnd freshness which are ? often dlfflcult to obtain. ^

Bemember that eggs produced J by the back-yard fiock cost very T little, as the fowls are fed large- ? ly upon waste materials. t

Small Flock Is Best There Is more profit in proportion

to the numbers In a small flock of chickens than there Is In a large onc. This enables those w-ho live on small areas to secure eggs at nominal cost.

Save your wood ushe.s—the. wood ashe« made available by our coal shortage can be turned to good use in your homc garden. They contain potash and lime. Ten chances to one your garden needs both. Many garden failures in 1917 can be charged, lo a shortage of these two materials. Every 100 pounds of wood'ashes will contain from four to eight pounds of potash and about thirty pounds of Mme. Potash Is one of the rtirce necessary plant food materials that must bc added to our Massachusetts soils to make them produce abundantly. Potatoes respond to an abundant supply very quickly and fail where there is no supply. The garden crops respond to a less degree but all rtnd It.esseniial.

J lost new .soils,, especially those that are newiy turned ovor and have not been cultivated for >T?'ars. arc acid. The lime in wood ashes neuirallzos this condition. As a general rule sour soils will not produce good vegetables. The potash and thc Mm'e in wood ashes a re in ideal form for plant food.

Krom tw'o to rtve pounds should bo applied broadcast to every 3 00 square feet and worked Into the soil four inches, after the garden Is -;paded o'* plowed. I t will not give materially gre.'itor resu.lts Lo ajjply more than the maximum recommendation unless the ashes are from dead or soft wood. whon nearly twice the amount can be a.ddcd with pr9fit.

Never mix wood ashes with manure of any sort. The manures , except hen manure. shouUl be spaded or plowed under. The mixing of wood ashes and manure ahvays results in the loss of ammonia, the mo.st valuable i>i.'uit Coal ashes may be mixed with hen

•food. Coal ashes may be mi.\ed with hen m a n u r e and serves -Well lo dilute and dry tho manure .

The water should be, applied when the hole Is parUally flUed with soil, and the moist earth should then be covered with dry soil to prevent baking.

8 feet Uy «. feet will be large enough for the average-sized garden and can be constructed rather cheaply. In the colder regions of the South some form of heat shpuld be supplied. Fresh" manure frbnii':the horse • stable wUl be -found saUsfactory for this purpose. Turn' the''manure two or three times before placliig It In the bed. In order to make It uniform In composition and mechanical condition. Make the excavation for the bed about 18 inches deep and put In 15 to 18 inches of fresh manure; packing It well by trampling. Arrange a.frame over the manure, so the slope win be to the south.. Place i or 0 Inches of good garden loam pver the manure'and cover tho frame with a hotbed-sash or heavy canvas, preferably the'former. The manure will heat quite ^rapidly for the flrst few days. During that time ventilate the bed frequently, to allow the gases to escape l ind-to lower the temperature. The seeds should not be planted until the temperature goe.-5 down to 80 degress or 85 degrees F. After the seeds have been planted, close attention should b o ' ^ v c n to the watering and ventilation of the bed. The soil should never be allowed to dry out, but It should not be kept water-soaked. Moisture Is necessary for the germination ot the seed nnd for the growth of the plants, but an excess of moisture should be avoided, as It stimulates the development of diseases, especially damplng-off. Water should be applied

nothing aside from timber, can be made to grow suflicient crops and meat animals to feed thousands of soldiers. If properly drained. These areas are frequently capable.of producing exceptionally good crops, the soil is productive, and only for lack ot drainage are prevented from being profitable to their owners and an asset to the nation. In almost every tract ot this kind there are nsually a few owners who feel that the land could be drained to advantage and that a few crops produced on the reclaimed area would pay all the expenses of .a drainage system, hut too frequently there arc other land owners who object to the plan.

(From the United States Department of Agriculture.)

One of the flrst crops to be planted m the spring—and In some cases one of the best—is the fleld pea known In some localities as the Canadian field pea. It deserves even wider use than has heen given it according to a recent publication, Formers' Bulletin 690, entitled "The Field Pea as a Forage Crop," published by the U. S. department of agriculture.

Since the fleld pea requires a cool temperature during Its growth, it Is well adapted for spring and summer prowth in the northern portion ot the United States and in the comparativeiy high altitudes of tlie Rocky llountain region, and for winter grow-th In the lower South. It Is usefnl on tho farm as a rotation crop f ir hay. grain, silage or green manuro. iiinl the peas may be used in the greon stute us a vegetable like garden peas.

Becklh we'd both be In the boneyard If he hadn'."

"So he made friends, after all," said the gin. "I think the child will be takedi care of, TJncle Johniiy."

"Sure. But thot's not the p'int. Miss Ma'y. She's rlz dUTrunt." His voice took on a wheedling tone. "I Jest wonder If you couldn't think up some way to help BUly? He sartlnly needs I t r

"That would be tinwarrantable Interference, TJntie Johnny. , 1 scarcely know Mr.'Warren."

"Don't take no stock In slch talk," said Uncle Johnny, reachlns for his twist of tobacco and cutting oft a piece of goodly size. "When It comes to doln' things, an' thlnkln* up things. Miss Ma'y, you're right smart. Xou dldn' know we-uns when you come to the mountains, but you now has us trained to eat from your hand—almost."

She threw back her head and laughed heartily. " 'Almost' Is well put. Uncle Johnny; but 1 do not see how I can help you In this."

"Twon't hurt to think erbout It, anyhow, an' p'haps you'll see light." was his concluding cominent, n.s. with a glance toward the faintly outlined path she turned from the group and walked away.

She had been in the mountain three years—at flrst for her health, then because It claimed her. She had heard ail about Blily Warren, had occasionally roet him, but save for the merest courtesy no word had passed between them. For some reason he had not impressed her pleasantly. Thls^was probably due to the fnct that he' had made no effort to know better one who had made friends with all the mountain peopie.

But the talk of old John Peyton, or some subconscious sense of trouble In the man himself as he stood silently beside her that morning, waiting for his mail. Influenced her la the direction of her walk that aftemoon. Yet she was not aware that she had been so Influenced until she found herselt watching a child dabbling bare fect In the rushing water of a tiny stream the while she hushed a corncob doll to sleep.

There was no fear In the child's eyes as she raised them to the woman beside hcr. Instead thdre wns a whispered "hush; you'll wake her. She's been real sick and Is just going •lo sleep."

Mary Hilton dropped upon the ground, and In an equally low voice asked what was wrong.

"Daddy's says it's a case of mumps or measles, he's not sure which; hut she's been so awfuly cross and has tired me so, he says there Is no-living with cither of us."

"Betty, to whom are you talking?" The voice came from the shadow of tbe cabin.

"A" pirettriadrrhoncyP'-" "Don't tell me fali7 talcs, child;

'Judging from your goodness to the mountain people. Tou give comfort to them."

"That Is ditrerent. Thcy are poor, in my humble way, I give help where It Is needed. Years ago I took a course of training In an eastern hospital. . I t has stood, me In good stead In my life here. B u t my work does not approach yours. You arc a physician?"-

"Au army surgeon, retired on account of 111- healtli, which I have xe-galned on the mountain. You know what that means at this time. I am ordered- to Fort Oglethorpe by the ICth. That leaves me but two days, and'I. feared I would have to ask for t to t -which I hope will be offered."

"And that Is?" His gesture toward the child was

eloquent. "I ara all she has." "If I do this thing, do you surrender

her entirely, or will you claim hcr upon your return?"

His eyes held hers with nn expression quickly veiled. "I will not return." . "I do not quite tmderstimd," she replied slowly. "We are strangers. You must have friends who would gladly do this fof you."

"Yes, but I would choose you froip all the world."

There was a certain controlled emotion in his voice that affected her atrangely, and she rose to her feet.

"Again I say that I do not undet^ stand."

"That Is natural." He walked the length of the level In front of the cabin and bnck. "Upon the eve of a great upheaval a man can allow himself a certain latitude of expression,, especially when he knows It can do no harm," he said gravely. "I do not expect to return. Because I am convinced of this, I can say to you what under other circumstances would be little shoft of Impudence, fof, as you say, we are strangers. But I began to care for you ifhen you flrst came to the mountain. I want you to know this, and to beUeve It. I could not let you know before. My wife— I do not wish to speak of ber. She Is dead, and I offer you not affront when I tell you that 1 love yon. It Is because of this I wish to leave Betty In your care."

With troubled eyes Mary looked toward the child. "I did not Imagine this."

"How could you? My effort has been to keep yon from knowing. Wlil you do this for me, now that you do know? It will be my comfort when my time comes* 'over there.*" He turned from her, looking out Into the limitless space. "It wlll be my comfort," he repeated.

"Why ore you so sure you wlll not return?"

"There would be no Incentive, with Betty cared for."

Then it w: i that Mary surprised herself by saying deliberately. "Mr. Warren, if I told you that my interest—"

"Interest! I would want something more than interest," he Interrupted.

"Would th.'it not do for the present?" "No. i t must be something more

definite." For long she hesitated, then said

steadily. "I think it is more than interest. I nm not sure. But if an overwhelming anxiety fnr your safo return Is an evidence of a deeper feeling. It is yonrs."

He took her hand, raising It to hts lips. "In thnt case, Mnry Hilton, God willinp. I will return to you and Botty."

dent growth so that heifers may profltably be tired to freshen at two years of age. It Is seldom desirable for a heifer to freshen at an earlier age.

In deciding upon the time to breed, the size and development should be given greater consideration than the age, since It Is Important that the heifer have good ^ o w t h by the time she freshens. However, If allowed to become too mature before breeding, especially In tho case of animals that are heavily fed, there Is sometimes difficulty In getting the heifers in calt. • It Is undesirable to have cows freshen during the latter part of the summer, because their milk production will be seriously hindered by hot weather, flies, and drled-up pastures. Kather than have heifers freshendur-

•Ing the summer months, it is advisable to postpone their breeding so that tliey win "freshen during the cooler season.

ADDING VARIEH TO RATION

Feeding Alfalfa Hay Before Cattle Run on Paature Is Especially Good

in Airolding Bloat

(By R. H. tVILLlAMS. Animal Husbandman. Arizona Experiment Station.)

Stoclimen have proved to their own satisfaction that It pays to have some alfalfa hay hefore cattle run on alfalfa pasture. This Is especially benellcial In avoiiKng bloat and adding variety to the ration. The animals seem to get tired of succnient feed and 'wish a variety. On this account It Is al-tvays vflse to have a feed raclc cither in the lane or In the fleld 'where the animals may receive the dry feed. Dairy cows especially 'srill rcUst a few bites of the hay night and morning. It is a simple matter to keep this hay In the dry lot adjacent to the harn tvhere the cows may eat before nnd after millting. Better gains will be made in tlie young stock and also cows 'Will yield more milk and do better if allowed alfalfa hay while on pasture.

Looking Into the Future. An eminent engineer has predicted
