A Home That Never Was 
(Continued from page 388 ) 
not by a soul-withering quarrel. But in 
that moment the mischief was done past 
all repair. The Girl on her part was 
quick and proud and the Boy was bitter 
and hard and almost in a moment words 
were passed on both sides—burning 
phrases that could neither be forgiven nor 
fotgotten. * 
And then it was over, I suppose the 
Boy went out and “had his dark hour 
alone” while all the castle of his hopes 
and dreams crashed about him. At any 
rate in an hour he was a Man-—a very 
different man than might have grown 
from such a boy. That night he paid off 
the builders—offering no word of explana¬ 
tion-only telling them that they need 
not return. 
So the house was left that day with its 
floors littered with sawdust and shavings,, 
with mouldings that were never placed 
and finished doors that were never hung 
and window sash that w r ere never set and 
no cheerful blaze was ever kindled in the 
great fireplace — the fireplace beside which 
the Boy a thousand times fancy had 
seen the Girl sitting while Lie dancing 
flames revealed and then concealed her 
dear face. In the barn a new lumber 
wagon stood piled high with dressed 
lumber drawn that day from the planing 
mill. That wagon was never unloaded 
but stood for a generation—stood still 
when I heard the story, like the house — a 
monument to a man’s dead hopes. 
* * * 
I do not know the final fate of the 
house. For a generation it stood—a gaunt, 
unpainted, eyeless Thing, slowly crum¬ 
bling to its end. In its tenantless chambers 
bats and owls roosted unafraid and on its 
attic rafters swallows hung their nests of 
mud and reared their young. Now and 
again the school children came and ex¬ 
plored it and ran up and down its stairs 
and romped through it with noisy glee. 
But it was never a trysting-place for lov¬ 
ers for its story was remembered and for 
them it was a place of sad memories and 
evil omen. I could wish that it might go 
up in a great flare of flame some midnight 
reddening the low clouds for a little and 
thus being purified forever of its curse and 
its portent. 
Romance never again touched the Boy 
or Girl. She grew old and faded—faded 
before her time- with a face set always 
toward the past. He lived long and pros¬ 
pered — in the way that some men count 
prosperity and waxed harder and more 
selfish and bitter with the years and was a 
hermit rather than a man. And tonight 
as I think of these two, my heart aches for 
them because they came so near to grasp¬ 
ing the greatest and most beautiful hap¬ 
piness that this old world knows and then 
because of a little folly, missed—and lost. 
The Making of Good Farmers 
(Continued from page 391) 
because they contain lots of vitamines so es¬ 
sential to a growing heifer. I weighed this so as 
to keep a record of what it cost to raise her. 
When she was about nine weeks old I began 
taking the milk from her ration, substituting 
water. I made the change gradual and was 
about ten days changing from milk to water 
and as the milk was taken from her I added 
grain. 
I kept her in the barn in the summer the 
same as the winter and when fly time came, I 
made a blanket of burlap and put this on her. 
I also brushed her once a day tojceep her clean 
and shiny. 
In September I had to take her to the county 
fair where she was shown with the other calf 
club calves. After the fair I took her home and 
got a large wooden block and hitched her 
around in the meadow for a half a day at a 
time and let her clean up some second growth 
clover. 
Besides taking care of her I have taken care 
of four other calves and a team of horses and 
milked seven cows twice a day. When I have 
been in doubt as to what to do I have asked 
my county leader, Alton Adams, and he has 
given me several helpful suggestions. I have 
also read in the bulletins on calf raising, 
published by the State College of Agriculture. 
My project has been very helpful to me and I 
have learned a lot and I wish that every boy 
who plans to stay on the farm would enter 
into the calf project or any other project.
