CHAPTER X.
The house Of the farmer of Rodel was
now full Of life Little Barefoot, as She
was hence:orih called, knew how to DO
everything, and to cnlear herself at the
same time to all. She instructed the young
vie, who had come as stranger t, the
house and to The village, In The usagcs oil
the pla' and the characters of the fami,
ly, and taught her how to conform to
them. She knew how to please the old
farmer, who was apt TO be peryerse all
day long, and who never could be salts,
ned because he had withdrawn 50 early
from active life. impressing on his mind
what good daughter-in law he had, only
that she did not suow how to show her
best qualities; and when the first child an.
peared, Amrei showed herself so happy a,
the event and so ready to meet every de,
mand upon her, that all in tile house were
fuil of her praise. But it was only in the
usual manner ef such people; they were
more prone to scold her for the least over
sight than to praise he for any excellence.
But Amrei never expected il. She
knew SO exactly when to take the child
to its grandfather and when to take il
away, that 1t was a pleasant sight to be-
hold. When she showed the farmer
the child's first tooth, he said: 4 will
give you six bartzner piece, because
you have given me pleasure. But mind
you, il is the ono yeu stole from me the
night Of the wedding; now you may retain
il with hcnor.'
AT the same time Marann was not for
gotten; II was certainly difficult UNDER
taking to WIN her .favo. again. Marann
wished to have nothing more to do with
Little Bireioot, and her new mistress
would not let her visit her, and especially
forbade her to take the child, as she fear.
ed The witch would do it injury. Ii re>
quired great tact and patience to over
come this hostility, but yet she succeeded.
Yet, Little Barefoot even induced the
farmer of Rodel Himself several times to
visit Black Marann. This was pronounc,
ed by the Whole village to be real mira>
Gle. But these visits were soon discoutin-
ued, for Black Marann said: 4 shall soon
be seventy years old, and have attained
that age without the friendship OF rich
farmer; it's no longer worth my waile to
shaDge my habit
Dsmi naturally went often to see bis
sister, but the young farmer did not per-
NIT it long, saying not without reason; it
would result In LIS beisg Obliged to pro-
vide Tor this grswn up boy, he coald not
allow any one to stay in his house with

therefore forbade Dami's visits excer. on

on Sunday, and as she heard the young
men and glr.s walking through the wills
lage and singing their soDgs,-it was only
then that she became partly conscious
that she was sitting here and sacrificing
her pleasures. She would then sing soft
" 10 herself The songs which are sung by
the travelling journeyman at their re-nn>
ions; but when she looked at Marann she
would stop; she would go on thinking how
mucn better it was that Dami was not in
the village, He Was now no longer the
cannon butt, and when he returned he
would certainly be young man that
would command their respect.
During the winter nights, when they
were singing and spinning in the house OF
the farmers, Little Barefoot was allowed
to join in; and although she had clear
and full voice. she was almo st always
Obliged to sing second. Rosel, the unma!-
ried sister Of the farmer, who was about a
year Older than Little Barefoot, always
sang first, and it was considered OF course
that her voice ought To- be subordinate
Rosel a, sharp and haush hty girl, always
regarded and treated her rs the drudge OF
the house, it Is true that she did SO less
before others than in private. While Lit
tie Barefoot was respected by the Yhole
village, because she was so industrious q
housekeeper AT the farmers and kept ey-
cry thing il order, il became Rosel's chief
object to boast before every one of what
patience she exercised towards Little
barefoot, how tie stain of having kept
geese clungto her, and that she regarded
II as work Of charity 10 keep her from
appearing 10 the people as she really was
An especial object OF attack, and OF nd
icule not always refined, was Little Bare-
foot's shoes. But in spite of this she al,
ways went rarefooted, except in the dead
Of winter, when she wore the cut down
boots of the farmer. Yet she received the
usual rair of shoes with her half yearly
wages; but they stood untouched in the
chamber, and Little Barefoot continued 10
60 about as proudly as if she had them
al. ou al the same time.

California Girls in the Yosemite.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, writing from the Yose-
mite Valley, says that yields the
palm to women for hardihood and
endurance as explorers. They climb
higher, ride harder, get wetter,
scream louder, eat more turkey, and
drink more stimulant than most men.

Importance Of Drainage.

Thorough drainage of land is nee
essary to success in farming, but the
operation is too often neglected.
When land is wet in spring the soil
cauEot be prepared for the crops in
proper time, and even after the seed
is put into the ground, it does rot
vegetate until after the stagnant
water has been evaporated and the
soil warmed by the sun. When
spring crops are planted or sown
late they do not cover the ground
until the SUMS rays have dried up all
the unnecessary moisture. Lands
naturally or artificially drained can
be titled early in spring and seed can
be got into the ground at the right
time, and the crops will have cover
ed the ground before the great heat
of summer commences, and the roots
will be protected from the rays of
the sun. The fall is the best season
for constructing drains.

Stock Farms.

Stock raising as a business has
been engaging the attention of many
intelligent farmers for some years
past, with a view of substituting it
in place of grain growing. Some
have made the change and find it
both agreeable and profitable. In
doing this, it is necessary to produce
good specimens of pure blood to be-
gin with.
In raising stock less hired help is
requil ed than In growing grain; this
saves boarding and wages to that
amount, and contributes to the social
enjoyment of the family circle.
1t is better to make one kind of
stock a leading object to he propa-
/ gated on large seal, although most
of the different kinds may be advan-
tageously kept IN lesser numbers, as
food rejected by some will be greed
lily by eaten others. Locality and facil-
tiles of marketing should be consid-
cred in making choice of the kind to
be bred extensively; the farmers
taste and inclination must not be
overlooked. Some men have a lead
ing fancy for the horse, others for
cattle, other agian shoop, and other
for swine. Whichever of these the
farmer finds most to his tast and in
clination is the one he will be likely
to succeed best with.
After having made his selection
he must study the animals habits,
instincts and natural disposition;
the varieties of food best suited to
its growth; the diseases to which it
is liable, the best method of their
prevention and cure. And above all
he must devote to it his personal at
tention.
He may have grOoms, herdsmen,
shepherds, or other assistants to any
extent he pleases, but his must be
the controlling mind that oversees
and manages the whole concern. II
he detects any cruelty practiced by
an assistant on any animal, or that
the animal is afraid of and disposed
to keep at distance from said as
sistant, dismiss him at once. The
keeper and the animal should be the
best terms of friendship if you wish
or expect it to thrive and do well
, The keepers voice should always fall
pleasantly on the ear of the ANNA
to assure it of his friendship, pro
lection and care. "The OK knOwetl
