CHATTER XI.

All Hullin's orders had been carried out.
The defiles of Zorn and of the Sarre were Sc
curely guarded, and that of Blanru, the ex-
trcme point of their position, had been placed
in state of defence by Jean-Claude himself
and the three hundred men who formed his
principal force.
Thither, on the eastern slope of Donon, near
Grnndfontaine, must we wend our way.
Above the main road, which winds up the
mountain for two.thrds of it's height, might
be seen farm. house, surrounded by few
acres of cultivated land-a large, fat-roofed
building, belonging to Pelsly, the Anabaptist,
The stables and barn were behind, toward the
summit of the mountain.
Here was the camp of our partisans. Be-
meath them lay Grandfontaine and Framont
locked in narrow ravine; further on, at 9
| turn of the valley, was Shirmeck, with it,
piles of teudal ruiEs still further, La Brucht
stretched onward into the grey mists of Alsace
To their left rose the sterile peak of Donon
covered with huge rocks and few stunteC
frs. Before them lay the road made impass
able by the wearing away of the earth cause'
by the melting snow, and by huge trees, will
all their bran ches on, thrown across it.
IL was u scene of stern grandeur. Not
living thing appeared on all the long road ; tn
country seemed desert, and only few seal
tered fires, sending their long wreaths of smok
toward the sky, showed the position of th
bivouac.
For three days had the mountaineers bee
awaiting the enemy, and the delay had tol
, not a little upon their ardor. When, therefor
at about eight in the morning, the sentine
a deserted a man coming toward them, wavin

But the scene soon ended. YeGof spoke Il

towards Hazlach, and the Iaven' utte'ing

day. Then they sheared from one
hundred to one liandred and twenty
five mustang sheep per day now, from
twelve to fifty, according TO quality,
the twelve thoroughbreds producing
about as many pounds of fine wool as
the one hundred mustangs did of hair,
But in order to make wool-raising pay
us its highest dividends, we must utl-
lie the magnificent water-power that
Is at our very door. 1t is folly to send
our wool to San Francisco to be washed
and secured, then transported to Mas
sachusetts to be made into cloth, then
sent back for us to buy. The water of
Kern river is as soft as rain water, and
as clear as spring wafer, and Is there
, fore just suited fol- securing wool. Here
is fine opening for an enterprislng
man to erect securing works on the
banks of Kern river, and if he would
erect wooden mill by its side, so much
the better and greater the dividends.
Sheep owners should take this business
in their own hands, for they would
not only enhance the price of their
wool, but would be sure to reap a rich
reward for their enterprise. P.D.J.

Early Strawberries.

Purdy's Fruit Recorder describes the
mode by which strawberries may be
had one or two weeks earlier than in
common open ground, which we con-
dense and give briefly as follows; "Se-
lect ground sloping to the south about
one foot in ten. Set early varieties
late In summer In the bed about half
foot apart each way. Set up planks
edgewise, securing them by stakes,
nearly two feet high on the north and
west protection from Winds, and half
a foot on the south and east. Bank
against these with earth. On the ap-
proach of winter, cover the plants with
evergreen brush, or common brush
covered with coarse straw. The winter
protection, aspect, and shelter of the
plank, hasten the ripening several
