Though Mr.. Higgins was often called
rough, cold man, yet there was certain
ly strange moisture in his eyes as be
closed the letter. In moment he had
taken in the whole situation. Jesse's
father, then, was not dead as he had sup
posed but had been separated from his
wife and child on that terrible night,
and had lost sight of them. be sorrow
ing woman had just heard that he had
been seeking those who mourned him !;
but it was evident that he was not long

anxious face of little Jess rose together
before Mr.. Higgins mind, and with a
sudden movement he rose up abruptly,
saying half aloud: "And my name is not
Higgins if it don't go quicker even than
she thought
StIiding from the store and locking the
door behind him, Mr.. Higgins was seen
little later riding rapidly to the nearest
railroad station.

he said, handing slip Of paper to the
clerk, on which was written:

Rockport was only hundred miles
away, and Mr.. Hugglns cast many an eX-
pectant glance next day along the road
leading from the station. And sure
enough, about half an hour after the 3
o'clock train Whlstled a sun burnt stran-
ger with eager, anxious face, came down
that road and hurriedly entered the
store.
"Can any one tell me where Mary Car

Higgins.
"Ies, my friend and | will lead you a

proprietor, promptly, and without losing
a moment the two were soon in sight of
the little log cabin.
"That's the house." said Mr.. Higgins,
'you can easily find the rest of the way
alone and with these words he turned
back, leaving the stranger to hasten on
ward.
He heard the little dog give its quick,
yelping bark, and backward glance
showed him Jessie at the gate and the
mother standing with clasped hands mo-
tionless in the doorway; but this was all,
and you and Mr.. Huggings both will
have toimaeine the rest of the story.

The NeWtoWn Plppin.

This apple commands extreme prices
in the English markets. 1t has sold at
Liverpool this fall as high as $500 bar
rel, when BaldwiDs were dull at $3.50
to $500. Professor Maynard says of it {:
The Newtown Pippin when grown to
perfection is one of the finest apples, but
unfortunately it does not generally sue
ceed. On some soils, like that of the
lower Hudson, it realizes perfection, and
then is very profitable under very care
full treatment. In a deep, rich, moist
soil it might prove a success. 1t is GER
tain)y worthy of careful trial.
DR., Hoskins says the Newtown Pippin
is essentially a local apple-intensely so,
and is not successful outside of a small
area having the city OF New York as its
centre. There may be a few exceptions
TO this, but they must be very few. 1t is
sajd, however, to succeed on the Pacific
coast, and is grown somewhat in the
South Gas the Albemarle Pippin) but is
not there keeper Though grown pro-
ttably on Long Island, it is not starred
at all for Connecticut in the American
Pomologicai Report.
Charles Downing writes. in reply to
our inquiries: IL believe Newtown Pip
pin apples can be grown in Southern
Massachusetts and Connecticut and in ia
Voied sections of Southern and Central
New York. 1t requires specially favored
localities, but will do well i'll lich soil,
with plenty of ashes, old composted ma
nure, lime or bone dust, as the soil may
require, which is to he found by expert
ence. We cannot grow the Newtown
Plppn as large nor as high-colored as
they do on the table-lands of Virginia,
Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina,
but they Will keep as we'll or longer, be
as high favored and with needed care
will pay better than almost any to which
The land can he nnt."

With all her other trOubes-in Egypt, and
Ireland, and Asia-old England has also been
passing through serious agricultural crisis,
in which the ancient proverbal expression,
las good As wheat" lost its force, for the price
of that commodity touched the lowest point it
has reached in the life of this generation.
What brought on the crisis what We're its
effects, and what remedies have been proposed,
are questions that concern the American al
most much as the Engli>hman, whether he
be producer or Il consumer of wheat; and
they very ably and clearly discussed in an
article by William E, Bear, editor of the Mark
Lane Express, in the North American Review

Keeping Cream and Butter.

Next in importance to having the milk
perfectly pure and sweet, and freed from
all animal odors, comes the matter OF
keeping the cream after it is taken off the
milk. In the first place the less milk
there is with the cream at the time it is
set in the cream Jar the better, \ great
deal OF carelessness is shown in this mat
tel, for ne it known that milk makes
cheese, while the cream only makes but
ter, and the more milk there is in the
cream at churnlng time, the more cheesy-
favored Will be the butter, and therefore
the more likely to afterward spoil unless
excessively sated. Really pure, good
butter requires very little salt, while but
ter as ordinarily made will soon spoil un-
less well saited, or kept covered IN brine
Secondly, the cream Jar must be of the
very best quality of stoneware; thick
glass would he still better; and it must
have a cover that will exclude all dirt
and insects.
Thirdly, the cream jar should be kept
IN place where no nOXiouS OdOrs or
gases can be absorbed when the jar IS
opened to add more cream, and also
where the temperature can be kept cool
and equable, say about sixty degrees,
and lastly, the cream is to De made into
butter as soon as it just begins to sour,
and when the jar is emptied, it is to be
thoroughly cleaned and scalded in boiling
water before being again used.
\ farmers wife writes: OF all the
products Of the farm, butter is most LA
ble to be tainted by noXious odors float
ing IN the atmosphere. Our people laid
| some veal in the cellar from which a little
| blood flowed out and was neglected un-
| til it had commenced to smell The re-
suit was that a jar of butter which | was
then packing smelled and tasted like
spoiled beef
Another lady reader observes that
there was pond Of filthy, stagnant wa
ter few hundred feet from their house
from which an offensive etfiuvum would
| be borne on the breeze directly to the
milk room, when the wind was in GER
| tain direction, the result of which was
| that cream and butter would taste like
the dsagreeable odOr coming from that
pond. AS soon as the pond was drained
they had no more damaged butter

How To Break Colts.

Mr.. j. H. Walker, OF Worcester, tells
how he broke colt once. He says ::
When got ready to break it, | told the
hostler to put the saddle on the colt in
the stall. This he did. He put it on at
about nine O'clock in the morning and at
noon he took it oft, leaving the colt in the
stall all the time told him to do this
for about a week.
The next week | had him put the
bride on and let the colt stand In his
place in the stall. He did that for IA
week. Then | told him to hitch the colt
on the barn floor for two days in the har-
ness, which he did. Then, for four days,
the colt was hitched IN the carriage on
the barn floor Ofcourse he had to back
her little iii harnessing and unharness-
inc her. AtterWard the colt was har-
messed and let ont into the yard, then
told him to ohitch up the horse and drove
her, and the horse was broken.
The first time | drove her she had no
blinders on her. | believe the way to
break horse is just that way. First
put on the saddle and then the bride.
Keep d little watch, for the colt is liable
to get into trouble in the stall. Pursue
that method carefully and don't believe
there Will be any trouble. | have no pa
tience with anybody that has trouble in
breaking "a colt. There Is no need of it.
