In the examination Of this office the labors Of
this committee were not confined simply to the
books Of School Commissioner Wickliffe, but
they have also looked into the manner in which
his predecessors have kept their books and
have found general want of method and sys-
tematio manner Of book keeping and that the
same exists now.
They find some Irregularities In the manner
of issuing teachers pay certificates, but nothing
criminal. The grand jury recommend that q
book, with proper headings, be purchased for
this office. in which ali the moneyed transactions
thereof shall be entered, and also q journal, in
which shall be kept tho proceedings of the
Board Of Examiners. The teachers duplicate
pay certificates, the vouchers in the .ofilco Of
money paid out, arc stored away in an ordinary
goods box in sold Office, and il il recon mended
that desks with sufficient cases be provided for
the safe keeping Of these valuable papers.
The committee found that no regular minutes
Of proceedings Of the Board Of Examiners had
been kept. This is important In showing their
regulation Of the work to be performed by the
commissioners and the amount Of salary paid.
1t is recommended that the board keep an
itemized statement of the work required Of the
School Commissioner. not only iii his office, but
also in visiting tho schools. If this is done
economy in the expenditure of funds may be
sccured.
Messrs. j. ". Shclor, J. NJ. Giison and 0 I.

vestigation. They spent each three days labor
there and they ore entitled to compensation for
the same and it is asked that proper cerlifeates

worthy Of the attention Of the court.

Mixed Farming.

There are many who argue that pro-
ducers should make a speciality of some
branch of agriculture and pursue it,
leaving other branches On open field for
others. The arguments given may be
said to be strong. That agriculture is a
science and art combined can not be
gainsaid; that many of it's departments
take the best part of life to master in a
high degree, and that having obtained
perfection in specially the individual
ana the pubic. cannot afford to have
him lose time and expend his energies
on variety of matters wherein he
lacks expertness. All this reasons we'll
and the grounds taken seem tenable.
and with farmers possessing goodiy
latitude of means it is. Where these
conditions do not exist we argue fo1
mixed farming, claiming that it has great
er security, with an equal amount OF
profit, If not more. In this case all is
not ventured upon single crop, and
the failure of one may be made good by
success with another. There are many
expedients open..to mixed agriculture
whereby the loss in one branch can be
supplemented by prompt increase in
others. A speciality followed may pay
we'll. but in time failures will come,
which can only be tided over by reserve
capital. With these possibilities in view
we do not think the average farmer can
afford to rush specially to the exclu-
sion of mixed farming.

For q moment Matte was speechlesa

For moment Matte was speechless
with mingled feelings. Then came tho
reflection that this garrulous old woman
up all her resolution, she said:
"If you write him, wish him much
happiness for me-"
In the solitude of her chamber she
looked into her heart and learned her
secret. This man, who was anOther's
husband, had made himself dearer to
her than any one on the earth could be
and she had been mistaken in supposing
that he cared for her. Oh, shame, shame,
to love where she was not loved-to give
her heart unasked! Still, she never
told her love-the secret was her own,
end she could keep it inviolate and meet
him on his return without Ainching
And, although she had no power to
put him out of her heart, she could and
would prevent her mind from dwelling
upon him.
One morning she heard that the doctor
had come home. She was standing
amongst her roses with very sad heart.
when she saw DR.. Robertson passing up
the road with lady. He lifted his hat
to her, and she tried to return his saluta-
ton as she would any other friend, but
somehow the warm blood came to her
cheeks an it was buta stiff and unfriend-
ly little bow that she gave him. And
while she stood thinking of it all, and
wondering why she should be 50 unhap-

the gravel walk, and turning, saw Dr.
Robertson ad vancing eagerly to greet her

Our Meat Supply,

There are good reason for believing
that the day for cheap beef is passed.
The increased production for the past
few years has been enormous, yet it has
not kept pace with the increased de-
mand. This is the result, in part, of orr
increased population. A change in thu
habits of the people has also added to
the demand. Farmers who formerly
consumed large amount of pork have
dropped to adegree and substituted fresh
beef. There is scarcely village in the
country where the butchers fail to send
out their wagons in the country, we'll
supplied with fresh meats, two or three
times a week. Cattle raisers are we'll
aware Of these facts and are not slow to
set their own prices, we'll knowing that
their terms will be complied with ere the
public goes meat hungry. Pork without
a doubt will rule high for another year.
The number of hogs wiRtered was less
than usual, owing to the high price OF
iced, again during the early summer
when the corn prospects looked bad, a
large quantity of hogs were put upon the
market. At the present time the supply
Of hogs in the country may be set down
as considerably short of the demand and
good prices will be forthcoming.

Treatment Of Aftermath.

l have read of fine grass field of
sandy loan which yielded about two tons
per acre. The owner, desiring to keep
up it's productiveness, did not allow it to
be pastured off spring or fall. The after
growth interfered with the scythe for
year or two, but grew very thin in the
fourth year, and the yield dwindled
down to about half ton. The surface
became crumbly. The field was sold.
The new owner let cattle range over it
and pasture it closely: The crop has
grown thick and firm. In another field
Of dark clay loan the experience has
been the reverse-the feeding and
punching doing manifest harm, and an
increased yield following cessation of
grazing. The observation of most ex-
perienced farmers will point to similar
cases. But who can tell just how or why
such opposite results are caused? Is it
that the lighter soil needs the annual
com oacting by the feet of animals? Or
does the ra.Ik after-growth, when not
eaten off, smother and weaken the roots?
(But if so, why not on the stronger clay?,
Or do insects that prey upon grass roots
multiply in the light soil untrodden by
hoofs and cause it to become more open
and crumbly? If the trampling hoois are
destructive to such vermin as the white
grub, they do more good in that wav
than by their dislocating effect upon the
subterrannean stolons of the grass, which
gets thicker by such violence, because
the new growth bursts forth at every
ben |, instead of issuing only at tie ter
minal bud.

Similar embroidery formed the small,
flat panniers, over which fell still smaller
panniers of brown velvet. The bodice
was velvet, the inevitable waistcoat be-
ing made of the ACE, with little bars OF
velvet crossing it at the waist. The hat
was of yellow straw, trimmed with brown
velvet and ostrich feathers. also saw a
pretty brown cloth jacket with gold
braid arranged in straight lines down the
front, and seven or eight rows running
round the edge of the basque. The little
stand-up collar was covered with
braid. Brown seems more popular
than ever. l am glad of it.,
for there could not be safer color for
general wear. A woman must be hope
lessly vulgar if she looks so in well-ft

pleasant relief from the universal brown.

A Curious Use for Straw

is the manufature of car wheels. The
straw. is first made into common straw
board, these are cut into round pieces
perforated at the center and 20, 33 and
AZ inches in diameter, for use in wheels
of these various sizes, then pasted to-
gether and pressed repeatedly in pow
erful hydraulic press under q force OF
5000 lbs. to the inch. The block is then
fitted into steel tire bound with plates
and bolts, and finally makes wheel
which sells readily at $50, while an iron
wheel costs but SIS. But the paper takes
up all the vibration from the rail,
which is 80 injurious to the tire and
axles when iron wheels are used, caus-
ing breakage and costly accidents. These
paper wheels never break, while the
iron wheels break very often. An iron
wheel will run 1O', 900 miles, but paper
wheel 100000 or 100000 before the tire
is worn out, and then the tire can be re-
placed at small cost. Other important
uses are being found for straw, and in
course Of time it may become too valua-
BILE for feeding, and will be more profit
able for sale than the grain that it bears.
Near the large cities and strawboard
mills rye straw is worth sum equivalent
to about $50 an acre; this is equal to the
price OF larger yield than an average
crop of grain.
