I saw him pass every day; not that I watched for him, but it’s against human nature that a woman should sit at a window all day and never look out. Besides, it was winter and I was watching the passers-by creep over my slippery sidewalk with all a prop-erty-holder’s anxious solicitude for their safety. _

I was turning away when he appeared and sped over the ice without the slightest fear. How we women love courage! And he was not only fearless, but handsome and well built, with just such broad shoulders and such an assured carriage as a frail little spinster with her own way to make in-the world most admires.

I'm sure a dressmaker ought ta.appreciate a fine figure, if any one can. To-day, sitting there watching the familfar figure disappear in. the distance, I felt my heart flutter like a girl’s. Well, well, the sensation was strange and new; it was late, too late, perhaps, in coming—and yet it was not all unpisasant. As I took up my work I sighed. Forty years I had spent beneath this roof, mever repining at my lot, dull and cheerless though it was, content to pass all my life rendering others charming, that they might the more readily gain the love it was my fate always to have missed. I had never hoped to possess. happiness. Why should I? lam no imbecile. No one vauses in a garden, undecided whether to pluck the glowing half-open rosebud or the homely mignonette. - ‘ Hitherto I had been happy enough in my cozy home, content to have my life history written in the words: “Stitch, stitch, stitch.” But to-day all my woman’s nature rose in passionate protest against my loveless, unloving life. I shuddered as I thought of thé long, lonely future. “With him,” I thought, “life would be worth the living.” True, he was considerably younger than I, but what matter years when the heart is fresh? But how could' I win him? ' | I am not what is called a strongminded woman. I have no longing to approach the polls. But Ido think there ought to be an amendment to the constitution, giving women the right—not to vote, but to propose. There are so many fine men declining into forlorn, crabbed old bachelorhood simply because they do not know enough to ask some sweet women to make them comfortable in homes of their own. Now, a woman knows by instinct when her ideal presents himse{lr, and wouldn’t waste half a lifetime in coming to the point. My ideal - was late in coming, but now that he had come I would let no foolish timidity on my part blight the happiness that might be ours. By a few discreet questions I discovered that he lived with my next-door neighbor, Mrs. Emory; and I felt quite conscience-smit-ten when I remembered that I had not called on her since she moved here, a fortnight ago. That very night I ran ~in, and was glad that she insisted on my staying to tea. All the time that we talked I watched him furtively. He was the only one of the hoarders whom she treated like a member of the family. He sat on a lounge before the fire, and I saw that he was even handsomier than I had thought. His large e:fg-were full of tender melancholy. His hair was dark and silky, and, thoughjhe had no mustache, his whiskers gave character to a face that . otherwise might have seemed almost effeminate ir} its beauty. Even his silence prepossessed me in his favor. I myself am fonder of talking than of listening. So my love grew. Before leaving, I pressed Mrs. Emory 'to call soon and bring Tom with her. She saw my deep interest, and, as I said goodby in the dgorway, told me his ful] history. After his family had been killed in that dreadful river accident he had made his home with her. He was perfectly independent, but I did not care for that. Riches have no weight with me, or any woman truly in lcve. . Next day, as he passed my window, he smiled such a pleased recognition that I sang over my work all the afternoon. That very -afternoon Mrs. Brown told me they would drop in to tea. I made great preparations. A younger woman would have spent all the time before her mirror. I did not. I thought I knew the effect of good cookery on the affections of the other sex. Well, I don’t think there was a cozier room or a better table than mine in the United States. We had a " delightful time, the first of a pleasant series. Soon Tom got into the - habit of coming alone. Never shall I forget the night when he first kissed me good-by -or the hours when he would sit with his head on my shoulder in the soft firelight. Don’t be shocked; he knew nothing about society’s cold formalities. At length he became mine. . I use the expression advisedly, because he seemed so helpless and confiding, and I vowed to love, protect, .and cherish him. The obeying I meant should be furnished by the other partner. I did make him happy. How I love to linger over that brief period when we were all the ~ world to each other. Alas! But I must go on, even though my heart bleeds _afresh at each remembrance. - There was a snake in my Eden. Why is it that every member of the other sex is born with a propensity for staying out nights? No one can appreciate more truly than I the qualities of the m.mﬁ'::_ ‘But ~wken my TomJyook to keeping late - Bow I would give the worid to recall.

know how long I slept, when suddenly I was awakened from troubled dreams by a most appalling noise. It seemed as if all the toot-horns ever manufactured had joined partnership with countless steam whistles for the production of this—well, there are times when the privilege of profanity would be beyond the price of rubies. I listened. A!l was silent. Pshaw! it was a nightmare. No, a long, low, moaning tone, then a gradual swell, and it burst on the night air:

AS all the fiends from Heaven that fell Had pealed the banner cry of hell

I threw up the window. Ah, how mistaken I had been. Dear Tom, with a few companions, was giving me a pleasant surprise. Tweo of them were in the middle of a duet. At least, one began the theme, and then another took it up, after which all joined in a grand chorus which sounded just like a Wagner opera. I never did care for midnight serenades, and I fear my voice was none too pleasant when I begged them to desist. At &nny rate, they went off in high dudge and Tom with them. A woman's patience isn't always elastic, and I banged down the window, and got-into bed, and :pulled the blanket over my ears. ~ ~ When I found he was still absent the next morning my resentment changed to alarm. I was just doing up my hair when Mrs. Emory rushed

The lifeless body of my beloved Tom _had been found in her garden early that morning. There was a bullet -hole in his forehead, and his dark, silky hair was stained with blood. He had been ruthlessly slain—cut off in his prime by the hand of a midnight assassin. When.l grew calm I tried to assuage my grief by attending to the last sad obsequies. To-day a little mound under a locust tree on the edge of my garden marks the spot where the for--Iner companion of my joys and sorrows lies at rest. And every evening, as I stand beside his grave or sit watching the sunset light tinge the white tombstone on which: “Tom” is carved in large letters, I vow anew that I will never keep a second pet. No other cat shall enter the temple sacred to- his memory.’ - COW GIVEN NEW NAME. Is Known as “McKinley Moose” In . Parts of Alaska. During President McKinley's ad, ministration a party of government employes were establishing telegraphic communication from Valdez, Alaska, to points inland. Owing to the remoteness of the new, untamed coun. try, supplies were hard to obtain, and the party, wisely or unwisely, con. ceived the idea of transporting an or. dinary milk cow, which was to accompany them en route. ‘About every 25 or 30 miles there was a station, and during the progress of the work the cow traveled with the men up and down the line. 1 The Siwash Indians had never seen ' such an extraordinary creature, the nearest approach to it being their na. tive cow-moose. They gathered from far and near, and asked all manner of questions in regard to this strange and wonderful animal. “Where you come from? Who your chief?” were the first questions. - “McKinley is our chief,” was the answer. The Indians, conceiving that Me. Kinley owned- all things, departed to tell their brothers and sisters and grandmothers, who in turn came to see the remarkable cow—the “Mec. Kinley moose” they named it. The white man took it up, so the name has come to stay, and a cow is no longer a cow in Alaska. In sections it is somewhat of a curiosity yet, for when the winter snows are ten feet on the level and hay retails as high as $5OO a ton, few can afford to keep a “Moce Kinley moose.” : ; Famous Mexican Soldier Dead.

A shed in which to shelter from | wind and a pasture to graze in is all | that is required to make geese raising : profitable. i It is folly to invest in expensive | seed unless you are going to give the | care which will bring results and give , you a return for your investment. : il We have never tried it, but a man who has says that ground hogs can be ' easily gotten rid of by shooting off a l haif stick of dynamite in the hole. ! The agricultural department has ! just issued a pamphlet on deer farmJS ing which suggests the possibilities of }a new and growing feature of stock I raising. { The wood lot handled right can be imade‘ a source of income and profit. The government will be glad to give !you needed advice as to methods of | treatment. . I Warts in horses can be treated suec- ' cessfully, it is said, by rubbing the . warts until they bleed, and then rubbing them with saleratus. Repeat the | operation a few times and the warts | will be gone: s t Prof. Eckles of Missouri Agricul- | tural college reports that Pedro’s Estella, a three-year-old pure bred Jer- | sey cow, has just completed a year’s ‘ official record of 11,063 pounds of milk ;and 605.9 pounds of butter-fat. This {8 87.9 pounds of fat above the next ’best Jersey record for a cow of this ' age. This three-year-old cow has pro- ‘ duced more than five average Missouri ' cows the past year. This redord ' shows the remarkable development of i the modern dairy cow. The horse owner occasionally has a 'horse that develops colds, distemper |and lung trouble, and will be inter‘ested in the prescription of an old horseman who says he has used it for over 40 years upon his horses and that his father, a horse doctor of the old-fashioned. school, used it many vears before his time. He says that the remedy is perfectly safe and there is no danger from giving a little over the regular dose.\ The prescription is ' ag follows: Oil pine tar, one pint; ! oil oraganum, one ounce; powdered rblood root, one ounce; powdered elecampane root, one ounce. Dose, one tablespoonful from three to five times a day, placed well back of the tongue. ' A farmer who believes in the garden adjunct to the farm put out this challenge: If anyone wants to know the value of a quarter of an acre of ground | let him put up against the products of that much garden the price he pays lfor vegetables from the last of June to the last of September. In our gar: r den we raise enough for two large fam‘ilies. As a return for our labor we have sweet corn, potatoes, sweet po_ta.-“ toes, tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, kohl | rabi, beans, peas, onions, cucumbers, cantaloupes, lettuce, rhubarb, beets and several kinds of berries. As tastl as one thing is gone others come on to take its place. Late planting of cucumbers, cabbage, potatoes and turnips may be kept up for winter use. The treatment for cutworm ' in grain 18 suggested by Dr. James Fletcher of the Canadian experiment farms, after thorough investigation as follows: “When grain is found to be altacked by cutworms the fields should ‘at once be examined to discover, if possible, what species is at work. If the cutworms are of a surface-feeding kind, like the red-back cutworm, they may frequently be cqntrollod with comparative ease by ttering poisoned bran lightly thrmh the grain, near the spots where the caterpillars ‘are most numerous, or ahead of them, whea they are so numerous as to have is systematically h%:aht of weeds | in satum, there Wil scidom _be whieh is ‘be broken for seeding | gty e be fod ot se late 0 DOSEDIG; 08 MAWAE Hatory Weene e R T :%M*»%»ﬁ%%mw&” é?..“g"f;” St '«:,3‘1%‘41‘532743%»53«,,.3», :_f‘..";;:l;eii"i.»».; ';\.»: w_:t

ack pears before fully ripe and let them mellow in storage. . Farm machinery makes poor orna ments along the roadside | It is very important to separate the cockerels from the pullets now. . Let the garden area be only as large as you can enrich thoroughly and work well. : : It is the deeply enriched soil which is the best drought resistant. And it is the well-drained soil which can be enriched to the greatest depth, There is an advantage in putting angora goats in the same pasture with sheep, as they are said to protect the shéep from dogs and eat brush mostly.

Raising crops is only half of the farm problem. There must be profitable utilization of the crops, either as food for livestock or as grain for the market.

The demand of nut products seems to be constantly on the increase, and the imports are growing larger each yvear. In this there is a strong hint to the farmer.

Have you a cow testing association in your section? Such an organization will help you to find out what your cows are doing for you at small expense comparatively.

See that the farm machinery is treated right when in use and again do not neglect it when it is lying idle. See that it is properly housed. Clean and oil it before putting it up. ‘You feed and water your horse with thoughtful care so as to keep him in prime condition for hard work. Are you as careful of your physical condition, and tkat of the hired help?

Don’t let the garden go to weeds after the first crops are taken off. Keep it covered with something worth growing in the late summer, if nothing more than pea vines, which will have to be plowed under later. They will prove an excellent fertilizer. A good temporary roosting coop for the chickens can be made six feet long and three feet wide, with a double pitched roof extending well over the sides and ends. The sideg may be slatted. Burlap may. be stretched around them to keep out storms in bad weather and if rats are troublesome the slats may be covered with fine mesh wire netting. ; Too much cropping and too little manure is the curse of many a farm: It is a short-sighted method which finally leaves the farmer stranded upon an impoverished soil that he cannot maxe a living upon and which he cannot sell. The only salvation for such a farmer is to start keeping livestock and keeping as many as the land will support. The regular application of manure and a crop rotation will redeem in time the most run-down farm. The farm is a factory where goods are produced for the market. Business principles which govern the factory in the city must control in the factory in the country. . There must be knowledge of what the market wants and when it wants it; selling produce where there is the most demand and the least supply; the art of decreasing the cost of production; of finding out just what the cost of production is.and the study of market conditions to decide what we can and cannot profitably raise. Here is the way one farmer increased the productivity of his orchard from 15 to over 200 bushels. He reduced the tops of the trees one-fonrth, then in the fall he plowed between the trees. After manuring well he planted corn, beans and pumpkins, and harvested a nice crop of each. The next spring he repeated the same form of cultivation, and that year in addition to the good crops of ecorn, beans and pumpkins harvested 70 bushels.of good apples. The next spring he manured for the third time and planted potatoes which did not do well, but he harvested 250 bushels of fine apples from the orchard. Keep the two main objects of weaning the lambs when taking them from the ewes, namely: To avoid any injury. to the ewes and to avoid any interference with the progress of the lambs. The lambs should be separated from their mothers entirely and not allowed with them after the first separation. It is preferable to take the lambs to a portion of the farm some distance from the sheep, that they cannot see them and that the ewes cannot hear their bleat 1n this way the lambs will in a few days forget their mothérs entirely, Some men practice gradual separation. They will allow the lambs to run with the sheep for 18 hours of the day for about three days, then for the next three days about 12 hours, thus gradually separating thiem. But such a method gives a great deal of unneces- l sary labor in separating. the flock daily, while the advantages obtained are slight and may be obtained in other ways, At the last meeting of the New England Holstein Breeders’ association one of the speakers agked the question as to how many dairymen - present knew the cost of production of a hundred pounds of milk. But four hands were raised. And yet farmers igno- | rant as to what it costs them to produce their milk output will complain that the milk dealers fix the prices of the product. The dairy farmer is in the business of manufacturing milk. The manufacturer to be successful must know not only what the complet- | ed article costs but the cost of every part. With thwknm:::e- be can cut out the unprofitable and keep that ‘which is profitable. So with the dairy: 'man. He must know what it costs to ready to unite with other dairymen in

GOOD BARN FOR A SMALL FARM

For the farmer who is making a start and has only a few animals to provide shelter for the plan here shown will suggest the best arrangement for a barn. The size is 37 feet by 34 feet, which can be added to at a later date. From ground to eaves the height is 12 feet and from ground to peak 29% feet, thus giving a loft for hay. Either round posts or sawed timber 8 by 8 inches constitute the main part of the framework. Provision is made for four horse stalls

Common-Sense Pruning.—An old nurseryman who has made a fortune in the business says that he does not believe . in any fancy notions about pruning, but tries to have the trees head low, with trunks not over 2% or 3 feet high, and then let them grow as naturally as possible. If any branches interfere with each other he cuts off the one that can be spared the best. Do not cut big holes in the top of the tree, nor cut out the central branches, but try to have the main branches cut out alternately around a central stem, so that the tree may be well balanced and sufficiently open to allow the sunshine to reach all parts of it. A little common sense is worth a lot of fancy notions in taking care .of an orchard. : * The Public Sale.—A public sale has many advantages, such as meeting and’ exchanging ideas with men engaged in the same occupation, men who have ‘ spent their lives in the business and are posted in every phase of it. The old breeder becomes acquainted with the new man and the class of animals 'he buys. The stockman and the farm‘er in attendance will unconsciously receive impressions regarding pure-. bred stock that will cause them to improve their herds, if not to turn the leaf clear over and raise nothing but pure breds. Thus the public sale, under favorable circumstances, may be a great educator and a benefit to the breed.—William D. McTavish.. - Big Currant Farm.—ln Colorado there is one fruit farm upen which are 135,000 currant bushes whieh average a gallon to each bush or 17,000 bushels each year.
