what the message would be. And it was
no surprise to either OF us to see the man
stop at the gate and walk slowly up the
avenue leading to the house.
The lady met him at the door. As
watched her standing there in the twi-
light, swaying back and forth in her ago
ny, with her hand on the door knob tor
support, felt great throb of pity at my
heart. and at the same time certain awe
for the two who were PLAYING so great a
part in the drama of death. The fact that
the news had been expected all day. and
had been foretold in dreams, which knew
OF only as belonging to the mysterious
past of King Arthur and Froissart's
Chronicles. placed the CHI racters before

Even the calm, prosaic farmer. with his

Pickings.

The cross of the Langshan with the
common fowl gives splendid broilers.
A healthy fowl will drink Is to 20 times
a day. and in close coop, or in hot
weather, still oftener.
Good absorbents to strew on the floor
and under the roosts are dry muck, plas-
ter of paris and road dust in the order
named.
1t is well to remember that the best
economy of the poultry yard demands
that it have daily care throughout the
heated months.
Separated early and raised by them
selves. pullets are worth at least quarter
more for use than il allowed to run with a
lot of cockerels.
Where proper facilities exist, geese are
more nearly self-sustaining than any
other kind of poultry. and are proportion
ately more profitable.
For chicken cholera there is nothing
better than carbolic acid. one drachm with
gallons of water. Let the fowls have
free access to it as a drink. and mix it
with their food once day.
A piece of bright tin, hung in the open
air. near the poultry-yard. will reflect the
suns rays, and may alarm the evermis-
trustiul hawk. Shaping the tin like a
cube increases the effect.-Our Country

Fateful Dream.
A VISION OF THE NIGHT AND ITS SAD
FULFILMENT.

Writing of dreams and their fulfilment
a correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat relates this actual incident: We
were just eating breakfast one morning,
when our nearest neighbor, the miller's
wife. came in. She was pale and ex-
cited, and to our great establishment she
at once told us that her husband would be
drowned that afternoon. She said "Onlv
last night dreamed that my husband was
drowned in the mill race, and that man
riding white horse had come about dusk
and told me the news. So impressed was
with the dream that | warned nv hus-
band not to 60 near the mill to-day, and
told him my dream. but he only laughed
at my fears and said that we no longer
lived in the dark ages" We thought at
first that she must be crazy, but at last
she so far convinced the folks that they
consented to have me stay with her during
the day. and | accompanied her to her
home, she muttering all the way: al
warned him. but he only laughed at me.
| know that he will never return home -
AS evening came her anxiety increased.
The approaching darkness seemed to her
the shadow of death. and her face grew
paler as the last sun-tinted cloud in the
west gave way to the all-ruling twilight
Although put no faith in the woman's
predictions. yet her strange murmurings
had effect upon me, and it was with
something almost like disappointment that
| saw the night close in and no messenger
appear. For you must remember that |
was young then and fond of the exciting
and marvellous, without stopping to in.
quire the cause. And so it was with a
sudden shock that again looked
out of the window, more carefully
this time. and saw a white horse came
galloping over the hill at its utmost
speed. The woman saw nv emotion
and flew to the window. Down the short
hill, over the stone bridge in the hollow,
and up the long slope to the house. we
watched 1t come together, and it would
have been hard to tell which was the
more excited; for although no personal
feelings moved me. vet was in a state of
the utmost uncertainty as to the outcome.
while the woman although agitated by the
terrible grief, yet had not doubt Is to

Sunny Rooms make Sunny Lives

Let US take the ARREST, choicest. and
sunniest room in the house. says the Home,
for our living room-the workshop where
brain and body are built up and rewarded !;
and there let us have a bay window, no
matter how plain in structure. through
which the good twin angels-sunligbt and
pure air can freely enter. This window
shall be the poem of the house. 1t shall
give freedom and scope to sunsets, the
tender green and changing tints OF Spring.
the glow of Summer. and pomp of Au-
tumn. the white of Winter, storm and sun
shine, glimmer and gloom-all these we
can enjoy as we sit in our sheltered room,
as the changing years roll on. Dark rooms
bring depression of spirits. imparting a
sense of confinement, of isolation, of pow
erlessness. which is chilling to energy and
vigor, but in light is good cheer. Even
in gloomy house. where the walls and
furniture are dingy brown. YOU have but
to take down the dingy curtains, open
wide the window, hang brackets on either
side. set flower pots on the brackets and
ivy in the pots. and let the warm air
stream in.

crops such as clover. rye and buckwheat !;
clover and rye preferable with me. My
trees are planted 20 feet apart, say 108
trees to the acre. and they, OF course, drop
their heavy foliage in the fall on the
land about the trees, which together
with the clover and light sprinkllng of
manure, decays and keeps the soil in fine
condition. which when turned under ap-
parentlv causes the trees to make good
yearly growth. | have tried the expert
ment of grass and have found it to act
we'll by top dressing. The trees appeared
brighter late in the Fall, and the leaves
did not drop as soon as the trees that had
received cultivation there was not so
great growth, but very healthy hardy
appearance.

ways made point to set the trees deeper
than usually recommended, and have
found it of benefit, as the roots are well
out OF the way Of the pillow. and l find but
little difficulty in blowing close up to the
trees. AS far as my experience goes with
my orchards. | find the result satisfactory
but different soils and locations might re-
quire different treatment.
