Didn’t I tell you that? I had a letter from her-—” ‘•Which she never wrote. On my way back to London, I telegraphed to your mother to meet me at the Charing Cross station, and there she told me sue had never seen Mr. Rayner and never heard a word of the journey to Monaco.” This blow- was too much for me; I fainted in his arms. When I recovered, 1 found that he had carried nte some distance; and as soon as I began to sigh, he put me down and gave mo some brandv and water out of his flask. As soon as I was able we walked slowly down the lane to the high road. t “But what shall 1 do, Laurence?” 1 asked, tremblingly. “Shall I tell Mr. Rayner you have come back and don’t want me to leave England?” “Not for the world, my darling,” said he, quickly. “Nobody in Geldliam—not even at the Hall—knows I have come back. The boy I sent for you does not know me.” “But what is all this mystery about, Laurence? Why don’t you go to the Hall, and see your father?” “Ah, that is a secret! You won’t mind waiting till to-morrow to know that, will you, darling?” “Oh, yes, I shall! I want to know now,” said I, coaxingly. “Won’t you trust me with your secret?” He did not want to do so; but I was curious, and hurt at his refusal, and, when ho saw the tears come into my eyes, he gave way. He h acl been so impressed by the postscript to my letter telling of a suspicious lookingperson who was hanging about the hall, and promising to visit it again Wednesday night, that he had telgraphed the Metropolitan police for a force of constables to lie in wait about the hall that night. He was to attend to stationing them himself. I had also mentioned Sarah’s ravings about James Woodfall, and one of the constables was a man who knew James Woodfall, and was certain, he could identify him. This Woodfall had been a clever forger but had been lost sight of for four years. There was <mly a chance that he might be concerned in this affair, but it was worth taking. "So now, my darling,” Laurence added, “you know every thing, and you must keep my secrets,' one, like grim death. As for I your journey, don’t be alarmed. I shall be in the same train with you; and your mother will really meet you at Liverpool street station, for I have told her to do so.” Laurence insisted on seeing me home. We had crept along the high road until we were close to the cottage nearest to the Alders, when we heard the sounds of hoofs and wheels, and men's voices halloing through the fog. Laurence opened the gate of the cottage garden and led me inside till they should hare passed. It was the dog-cart, with Mr. Rayner on foot, leading the horse, and Maynard still in it. “Lucky you are going to stay the night!” Mr. Rayner was saying. “1 wouldn't undertake to tind my way to my owii gate to-night’| f .

CHAPTER XXVHL Wc followed the dog-cart at a safe distance, which was not ver3' far off in the fog, until it stopped at “the stable gate. Then we slipped past quite unseen on the other side of the road,while Mr. Rayner was busy opening the gate; and at the front gate Laurence left me, and I groped ni3' wav down the drive ns fast as 1 could, and got in sonic minutes before Mr. Ra3'ner and his companion. And as I eonld rely upon the silence of Airs. Rayner and the cook, I said nothing to anybod}' else about my excursion. v After dinner Mr. Rayner asked the detective if he liked violin music, to which he replied that he did not care for it much, it being rather a scratchy sort of an instrument. “Give me the concertina,” said Mr. Mavnard, genially- . “Then I won't ask you to listen to my music,” said Mr. R:3'ner. “I’m only a tiddler. However, I think I console iD3'Sclf for this disgusting weather b3' a—a tune to-night; but I'll. be merciful and shut the doors. Mv wife and Miss Christie Will entertain 3'ou, and—let me see, it is half past seven—at nine o'clock I'll come and inflict m3self upon you again, and we can have a game of backgammon. Do 3'ou care for backgammon?” Mr. Mavnard having declared that he did, Mr. Rayner asked me if I could go into the d’rawing-room and hunt out “La Traviata” and Moore's “Irish Melodies.” I went obediently, and was on m3' knees turning over the great piles of music that stood there when he came in softly and shut the door. Before I knew he was near I felt something passed round my neck ahd heard the snap of a clasp behind. I put uphand and sprang to my feet, startled. Mr. Rinner, bright and smiling, drew m3' hand through his arm and led me to a looking-glass. Flashing and sparkling round _ my throat was a necklace of red 1 Jewels that dazzled me by their beauty. “Don’t I keep my promise? I said I would bring 3 011 some garnets. Do they please 3*011?” But they did not at all, after what Laurence had said; the magnificent present tilled me with terror. I put tip both hands, tore them off, and flung them down with trembling fingers, and then stood, panting with fright at my own daring, wondering what he would do to me. He did nothing. Aftei looking at me for what seemed to me a lorig time, without the least sign of displeasuro he

pioked up the neck ACe, slipped it into pocket Atm said, quite gently: “That ia very pretty spirit, but js rather ungrateful isn’t i‘t? NeVer blind; you shall make amends tor it by and by. Now will you go and help Mrs. Rayrn-r to entertain our lynx-eyed friend? You shall come back and fetch me at nine o’clock. Run along now, my dear.’' He gave me a gentle little tap of distaissal, and, rather crestfallen, I returned to the dining-room. But neither my entertaining powers Bor Mrs. Joyners wtyru called into play; for Mr. Maynard was already rather drowsy, and after sleepily muttering “Bravo—very good!” as tlic last sounds of Schnbert'e “Adieu” died away on Mr. Rayher's violin, I heard the regular breathing of a sleeping person from the armchair where lie was sitting. But I was paying little attention to him. The door being shut 1 had gdno closer and closer to It, as if drawn by an irresistible fascination, as Mr. Rayner eemed to play the “Adieu” as he had never played it before. Every note seemed to vibrate in my own heart. When the last notes of the “Adieu” had died away, I listened for the next melody eagerly, and was struck with a chilly sense of disappointment as an air from “Rigoletto” followed. It was not that I did not care for that opera, but a certain hardness of touch, which struck me at once as being unlike the rich full tones Mr. ltayuer generally drew from his loved violin, grated upon my ear and puzzled me. My glance stole to Mrs. Rayner; and I could see that she also was struck by the curious change of style in her husband's playing. It was as brilliant as ever; the execution of one of the diftioult passages in the arratJjsenicnt of “Martha” was clever, moreY perfect than usual: but the soul was noCrlrtTe, and no brilliancy of shake or cadenza could repay one for the loss. It did not sound like the playing of the same man, and my interest in tile music gradually died away; and, after watching Mrs. Rayner curiously for some minutes and noting the intentness with which, sitting upright in her chair, she was listening to the violin, anti at the same time keeping her eyes fixed upoiv the slumbering Maynard, lgave myself up to my own agitated thoughts. What, was going on at the hall now? Would the constables catch Tom Parkes, and would Gordon prove to be mixed up in it? I hoped they would capture the unknown James Woodfall, who must be a desperate criminal from the eagerness with which the police had snatched at the possibility of capturing him. Poor Tom Parkes was probably only a tool in the hands of this monster. And then I fell to thinking sadly of the deception Mr. Rayner had practiced on me, and Mrs. Rayner's warning came to mv miDd. But it still seemed as though there must be some explanation which would exonerate Mr. Rayner from intentional wrong doing. One does not quickly lose confidence in a friend who had been so kind as ho had been to me. But when I realized the nature and strength of the evidence against him my tears fell fast. Suddenly the silence in the house was broken by a howl from Nap, Mr. Ravner’s retriever, who was chained to liis kennel outside. Mrs. Rayner started. Still Maynard slumbered. I looked at the .clock; it was seven minutes to nine. Another and another howl from the dog, followed by loud and furious barking. We two women sat staring at each other, without a word. I would have spoken; but Mrs. Rayner glanced, at the sleeping detective andputheriingriW to her lips. Still the sounds of the violin came to ns from the drawing room without interruption. When nine o’clock struck, I jumped up much relieved, opened and shut the door softly, crossed the hall, and turned the handle of the drawing room door. It was locked. I tappet!, but there was no answer. He was playing a brilliant concerto, and I supposed he had not heard me. I knocked again and said, softly: “Mr. Rayner, it is nine o’clock, you told me to come at nine.” It was no use to stand there knocking, so I went into the school-room. It was ten minutes after nine and Nap was barking more furiously than ever. I was so much struck by the noise the dog was making that I unfastened the shutters and opened the window about an inch to listen. The fog was blinding. I could not see a yard in front of me. I heard nothing but Nap’s barking for a minute; then I saw the dim glow of a lantern and heard a muffled whisper through the fog:. “Who’s that?” “It is I—-Violet Christie. Is that you, Laurence?” “Hush! All right!” he whispered back. “Let me in.” He got in softly through the window, and, rather to my alarm a middle-aged man in plain clothes, also with a lantern, followed him. Laurence himself looked more alarming than any thief. His face was ghastly white with fatigue and dirtier than ever through long watching in the fog. He listened for a minute to the violin, then said quickly', but still in a low voice: “Who is that playing?” “Mr. Rayner,” 1 answered. He turned sharply to the other man, whq nodded as if to say it was just what he had expected. “How long has he been playing?” asked Laurence. “Ever since half past seven.” He turned to the other man again. “A trick,” said the latter simply. “Who is with him?” asked Laurence again. “Nobody,” said I, surprised and rather frightened by these questions. “Mrs. Rayner and Mr. Maynard are in the dining-room.” “Maynard?” “Yes. He is asleep.” The middle-aged man gave a snort of disgust. “Hasn’t Mr. Rayner been in the din-ing-room at all, dear, this evening?” asked Laurence, gently. “Not since dinner. I left him playing in the drawing-room at live-and-tventy minutes to eight, and he told me to call him at nine. “But it is nine.” “Yes. When I went to the drawingroom door just now I found it locked, and I knocked; but he did not answer.” “Will you go and knock again, and say you wish to speak to bijn particularly, dear?” said Laurence, gravely. I hesitated, trembling from head to foot. “Why?” asked I, in a low voice. “Because we want to speak to him particularly,” said the other man, gruffly. But I looked at his hard face and panted out: “You are a policeman, I know! What do you, want with Mr. Rayner?” “Never yoa mind, my dear; we won’t hurt you. Just go and say you want to speak to him. ’ “No, I won’t!” I cried—not loudly, for my voice seemed to grow suddenly weak. “Whatever you think lie has done, or whatever he has done, I will never help to harm Mr. Rayner!” The man shrugged his shoulders, walked to the window, whistled softly'. Laurence put me in a chair, whispering: “That’s a brave girl!”—blit with such an anxious, stern face. And the other man came back into the room, followed by a policeman with his staff ready in his hand. “We must break open the door,” said the elder man. I started from my seat. I wanted to rush to the drawing-room door and warn Mr. Rayner; bnt Laurence prevented me, wh’spering, gravely;

“My darling, you must leave It to US now.” Every word, every movement had boon so quiet that the music still went oo while they opened tile school-room door and Crossed the hall. I stood watching them breathlessly. The three men, Laurence, the most stalwart, foremost, placed themselves against the drawing-room door, and byr one mighty push burst it open. 1 ran forward to the doorway just in time to see Gordon, Air. Carruther’s servant, fling down the violin and rush to the opposite window, the shutters of whioh were Unfastened. But I heard the crash of glass and at the same instant two policemen dashed through the shattered French window, seized and handeuffe him. Then he stood between them, white and immovable, without a struggle. . “It’s no go. Wc know you’re one of the gang,” said the middlo-agecL man. “Game’s up. We’ve got your leader.” ■ “What leader?” asked Gordon, calmly. f “James Woodfall.’* “It's a lie!” snapped out the immovable Gordon. “James Woodfall wouldn’t let himself be nabbed by such as yoti.f ’ “Why. not? We’ve got you.” The man did not answer. “All his fault for getting 'soft on a girl. Wish I had her hero 1” Gordon muttered, presently. He caught sight of me at the doorway and shot at me a sort of steely look that made me shudder. But I did not connect myself with his words. I was too bewildered to think or to understand clearly what was going on until 1 saw him, handcuffed as he was, quietly draw a tiny revolver from his pocket and, without raising it, point it at Laurence. With a scream I rushed forward into the room and •flung myself in front, of Laurence, and 1 heard a report and felt something touch my arm—l did not know what at first—hut Laurence sprung forward with almost a yell. But he was encumbered with my form; and, before he could put mo down, Gordon had wrenched himself away from his captors, and, snarling: “I meant to have done forher!” dashed through the window into the fog and darkness. I knew I had been shot in the arm, .for the blood trickled through my sleeve. Laurence did not join in the chase after Gordon, but tore off the body of my frock and bandaged my arm' himself. He wished to go to Beaconsbtirgh for a doctor, but I insisted that the injury was trifling, and his bandaging w*uld serve until the doctor came in the morning to see Sarah. “Now-tell me about the robbery. Did you .find the policemen in the park?” Then suddenly I sprung up from the sofa. “Where is Mr. Rayner? Why was Gordon here instead of him? Oh, Laurence, my head seems to be going round! I don't understand it at all. lam getting quite bewildered. Why was it?” “ Let me tell you about the robbery,” said he, very gravely and gently. “ I found the policemen in the park and. stationed them in the shrubbery, and 1 stood myself, with that man over there, and one other, as close as possible to the back entrance of the house; and there we waited until nearly half-past seven, when a man came up through the fog and tapped at the door. One, of the maids opened it, by appointment, as' it turned out, for she was expecting him, though I don’t believe the poor girl suspected what his real business was; for it was Tom Parkes. And, when they went inside, Tom went last, and left the door ajar. A few minutes later another man came up and slipped in so quietly, so quickly, that we could hardly have sworn in the dense fog to his going in at all. Then presently Tom and the girl came out. He said good-bye to her, walked a few steps away, until she had shut the door, then returned and crept alongside the wall of the house until he was under the strong-room window. There were four of our men stationed very close to that, and their chief, who was with me, crept along easily unde.? cover of the fog, which was as thick p-s ever, to join them. I followed with the other men. In a few minutes we heard a soft whistle front the strong-room window, as we guessed. Tom answered by another, and we saw a third man come up and join Tom. I was so close that I saw a bundle let cautiously down from the window bv a cord. Tom handed it to the third man. Whom we allowed to walk off with it —followed, however, by two policemen—in order to watch the further proceedings of tiie other two thieves. Another bundle was let down, which Tom carried off himself; and then we watched anxiously for the next movement of the man in the house. The strong-room window is about twenty feet from the ground; but the man jumped down and landed on his feet. In an instant five of us were upon him, but, though I think each of ns in turn [thought we had caught him, he eluded us all and got clear away, arid in the fog escaped us. But the man at the window there, who has been so many years on the force, recognized him and identified him as James Woodfall, and I recognized him, too.” “You, Laurence! I didn’t know you had ever seen him!” I cried. At that moment the elderly man left the window. “It’s of no good, sir, I'm afraid.-The one rogue’s got off as clear as the other. Can you tell mo where Maynard is, miss?” I got up from the sofa and led the way into the dining-room. Mrs. Rayner was still sitting, pale and upright, with staring gray eyes, Maynard still sleeping. The other detective shook him, and glanced at the wine. “Drugged!” said he, shortly. With a few vigorous shakes he succeeded in rousing Maynard, and, when he began to look round him in a dazed way, the other said, sharply: “Pretty fellow you are to be hoodwinked like that, and drink and sleep quietly under the very roof of one of the greatest scoundrels unhung!” “Who?” said the other, startled. “Mr. Rayner?” “Mr. Rayner! Yes, ‘Mr. Rayner’ to simple folks like you; but to me and every thief-taker that knows his business—the missing forger, James Woodfall!” CHAPTER XXIX. As the detective pronounced * the name of “James Woodfall,” I gave a cry that startled them all. Shaken as my trust in Mr. Rayner had already been, the shock seemed in a moment to change the aspect of the w'holo world to me. My wild wandering eyes fell upon Mrs. Rayner, who sat with her hands tightly clasped and head bent, listening to the proclamation of the secret which had weighed her down for years.

THE FRIGATE BIRDi Its Amazing; Warfare on the Flsli-llawks Familiar to Florida. I was puzzled for quite a while when lii Southern Florida at some mysterious antics of the lish hawks. These creatures, bold enough away from the sea, sometimes act in the most cowardly manner, starting from the trees into the open and returning again in fright. I soon learned the reason for this cowardice. Stretched at length on the deck of a boat in the early morning in the Pass of Boca Grande, one of the entrances to Charlotte’s Harbor, I saw a line specimen of hawk cross overhead and proceed seaward to liml a dinner. The excursion was successful ns the pass swarmed with fish coming in with the tide. A fine one soon left its element and swung aloft into the air in the talons of the bird, which at onco began its return. But a newcomer appeared upon the scene. A black creature which seemed all wings and shaped like a flattened letter M, dropped from above and confronted the hawk, which at once dropped Its prey and uttered a scream so brimful of mortal terror that it should have excited the sympathy of all living things within the compass of its sound. The hawk Hew in fright to cover and I recognized the intruder as the frigate bird. On looking upward whence it had come I saw a score of frigate birds a mile or more from the earth, floating round and round on motionless wings. The dropped fish was seized in the beak of the bird long before it had reached the water, and with a sweep of exquisite grace, on tense wings, fronting a mild breeze, the corsair was lifted half a mile into the air, where another astonishing performance was at once initiated. A bite was taken from the fish, which was dropped. Down came the- fish, and the bird, folding its wings tightly upon its body, dropped swiftly after it. The part bitten off being disposed of, another swoop downwards was made, the fish seized, and the upward swing repeated, and this process continued until the entire carcass was devoured. On another occasion I saw a hawk seize a fish and start for the sliore. A black corsair at once appeared and captured the booty as on the former occasion, while the frightened fisher lied screaming toward the land. But now a change of programme took place. Another long winged creature from the group above appeared in front of and facing the frightened hawk, which turned seaward at once, mingling its notes of terror with one of despair. Every effort to side oft' towards home was frustrated by the gliding terror interposing its bulk in the intended direction, until the victim seemed to accept the inevitable and made an attempt to cross the gulf. The tormenting enemy then seemed content, and swung aloft among its companions. s The poor fisherman, rid of the. dire presence, wheeled on its course for home, and its frenzied flappings relieved of excessive tension, made very good time, when on reaching the very brink of safety the black wings again appeared, and the whole distressing business was re-enacted with increasing despair in the frightened cry.' This went on for more than half an hour. Every effort at retreat was intercepted. During jail the time the hawk kept up an incessant flapping of its wings, and its physical endurance was giving away under the protracted strain. This was apparent from the changing tone of its screams, which varied through all the gamut of despair, from unreasoning terror to supplicating misery. It was the Roman gladiator’s “Csesar, the dying salute thee,” with the ambition left out. The frigate bird at length seemed impatient. It more promptly answered the movements of the hawji, and urged compliance with greater vigor, and* finally introduced anew feature into the proceedings. Swooping upwards for one hundred feet it turned head foremost and plunged beneath the hawk, turning completely over as it did so, and, passing to the front, vaulted upwards, and down again in the same path, thus describing an elliptical orbit around its victim. It swung near the hawk round the lower curve, causing upward flight,' until at length, in an exhausted condition, it was introduced into the company of its tormentors, which had been descending from high levels and were now about four hundred yards above the water. Its strength was now well nigh exhausted. Its cry was scarcely audible, and it barely had the power of directing its movements. In whichever way it went, excepting one, a black terror confronted it. It could rise unimpeded, but found resistance to every other course. It struggled upwards for some four hundred yards further, until the distance was so great as to make it difficult to keep the movements in the field of the glass, when it gave up the task, and rapidly floundered over and over through the air, its muscular power exhausted and its mass surrendered to the gravitating force. Down it came, the whole half-score of enemies circling about it, until it struck the water near the beaeli in the shallows of the oiling. It was drowned. Again several days later I watched a hawk catch a fish and saw a frigate bird seize the prize. But when the hawk started for the trees another frigate bird appeared. Then the hawk went back to its fishing, and the second lish was surrendered to the second intruder. Thus the hawk was forced to catch a fish for every frigate bird in the flock. Then they let the hawk go free. The mystery was clear. The frigate bird makes the fish hawk its slave !—American Naturalist.

SELLING THE FARM. The Dakota Way of Drinking Out the Good Points of the Country. A young man near Estelline was recently negotiating to sell his farm when his father, an old settler in the Territory, came to him and said: “William, try in’ to sell this land of yourn?” “Yes, father.” “Eastern spee’later?” “I believe so.” “What are you telling him?” “Good land, big crops, well watered and all that kindfif thing.” “That’s very good, William, as fur as it goes. Why not have indications of silver on the further corner?” “It might be a good thing.” “What's the matter of havin’ seen specks of gold in the crick?” “Perhaps it would be best.” “I s'pose it never o’curred to you that there wus sigus of oil all over this liul place?” “Don't believe I did.” “Didn't think to tell him 'bout strikin’ coal when vou dug ver well? - ’ “No.” “Not a Word concernin’ the waterpower down on the stream or the splendid buildin’ stun in that knoll?’’ “N-o-o, father, I guess not.” “Probably forgot to mentionWyou wus soilin' to get money to support a poor old crippled mother?” “I believe I uid.” _ . “William, I’m afraid all the teaching ver poor old father has give you hasn’t 'mounted ter much.

A Few Words About the Curry-Comb, the Check Keln and the Farm Mortgage. Abolish the curry-comb. It is a barbarous feature of the stable toilet. A good brush or a wisp of hay or straw will as effectively remove dirt from tho coat of an animal and will not injure the skin or hair, which can not be said of the curry-comb. Rub the limbs of your horse with a corn cob, and polisli off with a cloth, sponging off frequently and drying carefully, and the animal will make you feel proud of its bright, smooth coat. If you feel that you must use a curry-comb because your father and grandfather used it, just give the implement a good trial on your own head for three successive toornings. It may change your ideas on the subject. If you love your horses or other stock, and allow them to move at will around a pasture lot, abolish tho barbed-wire fence. Cheek reins should have no place among your harness. If the horse was properly broken they are unnecessary. Oh, your horse is an inveterate stumbler, isn’t it? Then it should not belong to you. frir no farmer ought to own an unreliable horse. Abolish the farm mortgage. It is a cancer that is eating the life out of you. Oh, yes, I know all about that bad year and the other set-backs that compelled you to “raise the wind.” Yon do not seem to be able to “get ahead” yet, eh? “Draw in your horns” a little; don’t invest in that new carriage; work more yourself instead of simply bossing the hired man; take the greatest possible care of your tools and implements, so as to make them last longer; do not waste your means trying to raise “2:10” horses; work your farm for all it is legitimately worth; study the markets through the local papers, so as to sell your crops at the greatest advantage to' yourself; watch the outgo of every cent; save whatever you can in either labor or material: cut oft'every unnecessary item of personal expense, and you will soon be in a fair way to abolish the hateful mortgage.— Forest, Forge and Farm.

Those that are not very stiff with starch will wear very well, and pay for making up, while stiff webs will crack, and aside from being hard to sew, will not be at all durable. that are stamped with bright colors can, by being dipped in salted water, be made fast colors. All prints ought to be washed quickly, and never allowed to soak in suds, as that gives a dull look. The quicker the} - are washed, rinsed, starched and dried, the nicer they will look. I have seen calicoes washed in this manner that retained their beauty till completely worn out, W hile dresses from the same web of cloth were all faded out the lirst or second time of washing. The~e is too much labor in making a dress to have it ruined by bad washing. It costs a deal more to make a garment, than the money paid for tlie-material itself. It is a good time now, when prints are so cheap, to make and repair bedclothes. It hardly pays to workup old garments into bedding, when one can buy new prints at such low prices. Good comfortables and bed quilts are a real luxury, and summer is the time to make tl.emTip; the days are long, and it is not hard work to tie comfortables or quilts. Three breadths of print, three yards long, are enough for outside covering, and the same for lining, and four bunches of cotton batting, and a ball of cotton yarn to lie with. The eighteen yards of print would be, at five cents per yard, ninety cents; the yarn eight cents, and the batting lift}' cents; so'for two dollars one can make a nice bed covering that will last for years, if properly taken care of.—Cor.

BEET CULTURE. Why Kvery Farther Should Grw4j Many Root!i as He Cali Feed to His Stock. -No other crop produces so much valuable food for stock as one of beets of mangels. If it contains ninety pet* cent, of water, at least three tons of dry matter can be produced per acre, for thirty tons to the acre is not at aIL difficult to raise, if the trouble is taken and some previous experience has been had. But these roots are so exceedingly digestible that the amount of dry matter produced per acre is far more nutritious in proportion to its weight than any other food; not even excluding grain. The dry matter of beets is wholly digestible, while \that of corn contains a large proportion of indigestible protein and ‘carbo-hydrates 1 and even fat. The following table shows the difference in this respect: Sugar I)itv Matter. Mangels. ISeels. Oats. Cone Protein 1.1 1.0 10.0 10.0 Carbo-hydrates. ID 0 10 7 00.0 07 0 , Fat 0.1 0.1 0.0 0.5 liiifestibio pro- \ tein 1.1 10 i 9 0 5.4 Carbo-hydratos 10.0 10 7/ 40.0 00.0 Fat 0.1 O.jk 4.7 4.8 Water ss.o S\fs 14.0 14.0 If allowance is madfS. for the difference in the water contained, it is seen that one hundred pounds of rlry matter of mangels or sugar beets is considerably more nutritious and valuable titan that of corn, and still more so as regards oats. Besides the water contained in the roots and the soluble condition of the dry substance have a most healthful result in aiding in the digestion of dry food, as hay or grain fed with the roots, and thus the roots have an indirect value, which should be .credited to them in addition to their actual feeding value. For this reason every farmer should grow as many roots as he can feed to his stock, and if he can grow more it will pay him to increase his stock for the purpose of consuming his roots profitably. Sugar beets or mangels are preferable to any other roots, because they may be fed to cows without any injurious effect upon the milk or butter. These roots may be sown any time in June, but the earlier the better. The soil should be thoroughly plowed and made fine; a liberal manuring is required for a full crop, but artificial fertilizers avo even better than manure, as they are wholly free from weeds, and weeds sure the greatest enemy to all root crops, causing very much'extra labor in- keeping the young plants free from them. Clean cultivation is indispensable to success, but this may ho secured with little trouble by the following manner of culture: The seed, foitr to six pounds per acre, is sown in rows, with a. hand drill, twenty-seven or thirty inches apart. As soon as the plants are up in the row, or sooner if need be, the hand drill is turned into a cultivator, and by the use of the wing scrapers, the rows, well marked by the roller of the drill, are cleaned and free from weed*!, as soon as these appear. When the young beets are to be seen plainly, the hand cultivator, set to cut. eight or ten inches wide, is run across the rows, thins leaving two or three plants in a bunch at this dantance apart in the rov*s; the rows are worked at the same tfime, as before. Then the horse-hoe c>r cultivator is used between the ro*ws to stir the ground and this should be done frequently. A dress of six hundred pounds of salt per acre is now given with much benefit. If necessary surplus plants may be removed afterward, but as two or three will grow together in company without damage it is rarely necessary to do this work, which will require the hand hoe. If the soil is not rich enough for a fufl crop, a.second application of thnec hundred pounds of supherphosphi.te or fine bone per acre may be given, before the second cultivation. As the broad leaves grow fast once they have start-, ed close weeding is rarely required, but the hand cultivator may be run across the rows alternately with the liorsehoe until the leaves meet and close the rows. Moderately small roots aro preferable to large ones asriaeing more nutritious, but it is not difficult to grow roots weighing from ten to fourteen pounds when the soil is in good condition and the young plants have not been checked 'by the overcrowding of weeds.— N. Y. Times.

KICKING COWS. A Simple aud liasy Plan of Managing Vicious Dovines. When milking a cow she should stand in a proper position, which many cows seem determined not to. The cow is the strongest, and anger and brutal treatment are the. result. Could the ihilker apply his strength in some easy practical manner, so as to compel the cow to stand in a propor position while being milked there would be no cause for anger on the part of the milker; hence no brutal treatment would necessarily result. Some cows kick from natural or acquired viciousness, others because the operation of milking is painful from tenderness or otherwise. Hence, in some cases it is a sort of surgical operation, and the patient must be conlined to submit. The proper position for a cow to stand in is to “hoist” i. e., the right hind foot should step back; or What is equivalent, the opposite foot should be advanced. It will be noticed that a cow in this position rests her greatest weight on the foot farthest from the milker. Such being the case, she can not then well kick with that foot. It seems, tlieji, very plain that the cow should “hoist;” if she will not, I simply propose to compel her to. For this purpose I keep in the stable a rope about ten feet long. Make a loop on one end, go to the left side of the cow, loop the rope around the hind leg, drop it down near the dew-claws, pass it around the stanchion (twice if necessary), and draw the foot forward as far as necessary. This is a forced hoist, and it lias the effect, in almost all eases, to cure or break up the annoying habit of many cows that keep stepping or changing position, thus compelling the milker to move as often as the cow doe*. The plan here given will be a sure corrective of most cases of kickers and steppers, but when it is not, put the cord around the ham string, passing it over the top of the stanchion, anil if necessary, in extreme cast s, draw the foot off tlic floor. If this does not prove effectual, and you desire to secure the cow anyhow, tie the left foot as tirst directed, then with a-strougcr rope draw the other foot back and coniine it out of harm's way. 1 never found but one ease requiring this last treatment. The simple and easy plan of drawing the left foot forward, as lirst described, will be found of great value to those who choose to use it discreetly. A boy twelve years old has sufficient strength to use it. though judgment may he lacking. Nervous or wild cows will struggle some when this correction is lirst applied, hut will soon become accustomed to it. In some cases it may be well to tie the cow in advance of milking. —Prairie Farme-r. —Young Beets: Cut off the tops, not too near the root, wash without scraping or peeling, and cook from forty minutes to an hour in hot, salted water. Scrape off the skins, slice and dish, then cover therein with a dressing made by heating four tablespoonfuls of vinegar with a heaping tablespoonful of butter; salt and pepper to liking. —Chicago Tribune.
