Jo said, nor what Gleason said it was the tone of both ; in fact, Edgar did not grasp what they were talking about for quite a while then lie realized that they were discussing Leona and himself. They spoke in that easy, congenial manner which' clearly evinces that two persons understand each other. If it were not love at least It was a very happy basis for love. Edgar tiptoed away, out of the house, with an .indescribable feeling of having escaped a great calamity. He thought of Leona and mentally foil upon his knees worshiping a solemn vow in his heart that all through their married life he would atone for the folly of his thoughts by loving devotion. And if Jo loved him, well, it was not a deep nor sacred love that prevented her discussing him with tiie butler. As for Gleason, Edgar felt like congratulating tiie man, lie was a fine fellow, tiie kind wiio does not stay buttering very long, but rides to success in the automobile business or some s seashore iioiel. - Ey LILY WANDEL & KE "&: ( 8 SSI8SKg Syndicate.) 8 I by McClure Newspaper f It bad been very fortunate that he had fallen in love with Leona Simmons.

For fully six months before he proposed, Leona bad scarcely missed spending a week-enwiili them, to say nothing of the many dinners and parlies. In the second place, it was very fortunate for tiie business, because this v as sadly crippled for tiie lack of new capital. And in the third place, it was going to make tilings easy for his sisters because Leona, as an attractive ith an assured social widow, wealthy, position, would be sure to protege them successfully into the right circles.

She was a little older than lie, but that was trilling. To do Edgar justice, it must be said that if lie bad not loved Leona siti-cerely be never would have asked her to marry him, no matter how alluring all the other details might be.

It was pleasant to see bis mother fairly brimming over with happiness, the girls aglow with plans for the future and to be able to see Leona every day. Life seemed like a long sweet dream. A few weeks before his wedding his mother came to him with a plan. I cant manage it alone. Edgar, its too much. Look at the heap of unanswered invitations and things on my desk. What do yoti think? Can we stretch a point and engage a social secretary for a few weeks until after the wedding? Edgar agreed immediately, it was a sensible tiling to do. lie bad forgotten about tiie arrangement when, a few days later, he met a young person in the library a very young thing, not more than twenty, slim and not very tall, dark Irir that curled naturally Leonas was straight the pertest little red mouth and two dark, inquiring eyes. Edgar stared, bowed and hurriedly left tiie room. Later, of course, lie was introduced to tiie new secretary. ft was peculiar that during tiie next few days Edgar had quite a few things to attend to in tiie library, where tiie secretary was installed. And it was odd, too, tiie interest lie suddenly took In' bis mother's social affairs. The interest grew tremendously ; lie hail to dictate a few private letters himself arid thereby was forced to cancel an engagement with Leona. His personal correspondence increased.

A ducing 20 pounds of 4 per cent milk a day, If properly fed, devotes about half of her feed to maintenance and bolf to milk production. Obviously when a dairyman has gone to the expense of supplying that half of the food required for maintaining the cows body, it is poor economy to withhold any of the other half, all of which goes to produce milk. A eo.w then requires feed in accordance to the amount of milk she is able to produce. The heavy producer needs the most feed. ' Farm-growrougliages (silage, hay, etc.) furnish the cheapest food nutrients. However, a good dairy cow cannot eat enough roughage to supply her needs for milk production. She must have some grain. Therefore, to feed with the most economy the following rules must be observed, says the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. 1. Feed all the roughage a cow will eat. She will eat more if fed three times a day instead of twice. 2. Feed grain in proportion to the pounds of milk produced. To a Jersey or Guernsey cow feed one pound of grain for each three to f three and pounds of milk produced. To a Holstein, Ayrshire, or Shorthorn feed one pound of grain for each four to four and one-hapounds of milk produced.

The aging of flour is not commercially feasible. The cost is against it for one thing. Another objection, from a commercial standpoint, is the impossibility of f. lowing the condition of the aging flour, especially if one wishes to catch it at the peak, for stored flour is constantly varying in its baking capacity, finally reaching an optimum and then beginning to decline. Hence any method which the miller can emit ploy, assuming for tiie moment-tha- t is unobjectionable from a health standpoint, which will instantly convert a flour to its optimum baking value and then stabilize it is of great moment . to the public;This state of affairs is brought about in flour by treating it with chlorine, pud the general result is known as i. e., tiie general effect of maturing maturing flour is Unit which nature produces in aging flour a whitening effect, together with greatly improved Ids mother.

DAIRY -- H. MOULTON F YOU should ask a hun- By ROBERT dred experienced hunters, men who have followed the field for many years and fired their shotguns times without number, approximately liow many pellets there are in an ounce of Nw. 0 chilled .shot the size generally used in the bunting of ducks, rabbits, squirrels and similar game the changes are that q .good many of them could not come anywhere near tiie cor-- , rect number. It is also probable that few of. them could tell you exactly how the shot is made. The manufacture of shot is, be it known, a most interesting and ingenious process. In every plant where shot is made there is one building which stands out above all .others. " This is the which rises to a height of about two hundred feet, and in this tower the operations employed iu making shot begin. The capacity of the in a large modern plant is fifty tons of shot a day, all of which is made, untouched by human hands, after the bars of lead are put into tiie great melting cauldron on tiie topmost floor of the tower. Tiie lead liars weigh approximately one hundred pounds each and are about two feet long. They are put into tiie cauldron as' needed and melted by gas beat. Exceptional pains are taken in manufacturing shot. Every size of chilled shot has a different formula a fact which it seems difficult for the ordi' nary man to understand. It requires Shot-tower,- shot-tow- pellets to make an ounce of No. (I shot, or 3,558 to t!m pound. In the case of No. h' shot, tiie kind used in trap shooting and for quail, grouse and other birds of this type, 5,520 pellets are required to make a pound. At tlds rate it would take over eleven million pellets to make a ton of No. 7',2 shot, and about half a billion would 22i represent a days output. From the sieve the hot tinuously. metal drops into tanks of water 154 feet below, the pellets being formed just after-- passing through the sieve. Exactly liow long it takes to chill the shot after the metal leaves the sieve is still a mystery, but It Is known that when the pellets reach the water, which cannot take more than a fraction of a second, they have become solid spheres of remarkable roundness. Special sieves with varying sizes of inperforation must be used for each dividual size of shot. The size of shot, however, may be regulated slightly by change in temperature of the molten . metal.' From the tanks of water the shot passes through a drying machine, and thence to conveyors which take it up several stories in the shot tower, Next they go to a big revolving screen where any rough bits of lead that may be mixed up with tiie pellets are ' culled out. . - Leaving this screen the shot go to a- - series of glass assorting tables, where the perfect pellets are automatically selected, those having the slightest imperfections being discarded. The shot flows from a hopper onto the glass tables, which are very slightly inclined, and the perfect pellets gather sufficient momentum to roll down the table and jump a gap at the base, not while those pellets which round enough to gather the required momentum fail to jump the gap and Every pellet pass into the scrap. passes over a series of a dozen of the glass tables, placed one above tiie other, and only those of perfect form can survive the elimination tests. Any imperfection whatever, such as rough edges, slows up tiie rolling pellet so that it drops into one of the gaps and goes back to the melting pot to be made over again. In addition to all this, samples from, each tank of shot are later tested for roundness and appearance by rolling the pellets over a glass plate set at of one dean angle of about one-ha. In one of tiie largest ami oldest munition manufacturing plants of New England the top of the shot tower is 187 feet above the ground. On the top floor is the huge cauldron in which the mad bars are melted- - The heat in this cauldron Is terrific and the liars dissolve almost as quickly as a pound of lard dumped Into a deep frying pan already partly tilled with the boiling fat.x It Is possible to melt one hundred tons of lead a day in this cauldron, which means that one hundred tons of shot can he turned out daily in an emergency. From the cauldron the molten metal flows in a continuous stream, like go much silver water.
