in her eyes, Nell saw that from the
rocket OF the dress a morsel of the
bridal handkerchief was peeping. To
get a better view Of the fine old lace
that bordered it, she drew 1T out, and
with it came q folded paper.
"Ah!" cried Lisbeth, 'it is the n
my good master gave to her before he
died. She must have gone to the press
and slipped it into the pocket OF this
dress, instead Of her ordinary one;
they hung together then. Take it,
young ladiesI Ibelieve, nay, but am
| sure, it concerns your father"
Mr.. Hallett was just sitting down
to the early breakfast his wife had
risen to share with him, when Nell
and Min came to his side with the
paper.
1--WE have not opened it, dear uncle;
it is you who should read it to us.
Perhaps it was to let my father know
that his parents had quite forgiven
him for leaving them. He used to
say he had not acted we'll in DESERVING
! them"
But John Hallett had pushed the
paper from him.
1.-THE hand of God is in this" he
groaned. Read for yourselves, and
ease my soul OF the burden that lies
heavily uponit. Lisbeth told me there
was such a paper in existence. but my
search for it a. a h~alf-hearted one.
I valued my home more than what is
. right, but If [ am to lose it | will bear
the loss without murmuring, for lhave
had greater mercies bestowed on me
than | deserve"
Mrs. Hallett drew nearer, and laid
her cheek against her Husbands, while
Min in faltering tones read the few
feebIy traced lines the paper contained:
II have thought owe your wish,
dear wife; it is hard tosaf younay; but
l cannot let compassioI 0rTom make
me unjust to his brother. Do you
know that if John had not toiled ear
ly and late at the time of that terri
BILE crisis we must have been ruined?
1t was his industry, his perseverance,
that enabled us to retain the home
that has grown so dear to us. When
we are gone, let him reap the fruit OF
his labors. Tom will not love us any
the less because we have nothing more
to give him but our blessing"
So the Copse vas the property oil
John HaIlett, after all; but who that
saw that face just then would have
ventured to congratulate him? He
bowed it on his hands. and the sisters
stole away, leaving him alone with the
tender faithful wife, from whom he
never more had q secret.
Nell and Min went back to Canada
at the appointed time, but they did
not refuss the useful gifts their uncle
added to their luggage, for they saw
that he would be a happier man il
allowed to take the place OF the father
they had lost. Charlie will follow
them in the spring to fetch home his
bride.

MOVING The ROAOSIDES.

1t should be part of the road work
everywhere to keep the weeds cut down
which spring up along the sides of the
highways: and this work should never
be neglected. There is scarcely a neigh
borhood in which the highways do not
mature enough weeds to seed half the
adjoining fields. 1t would be to the in
terests of the owners of those fields to
have the highways mown: but they fail
to do this because the roads are public
property. and they feel that every item
of their care should be part of the pub
lie expense. Usually nearly all of the
work could be done with a two-horse
mower, the scythe being necessary only
where there are projecting posts. sharp
offsets in the fence. etc. Thus done. the
work would cost very little compared
with the damage it would avoid. If the
road overseers do not feel disposed TO
have this work done. fearing that it is
outside their duties. it should be brought
up before the annual town meeting and
voted upon. If properly presented be-
fore the vote is taken. very few. if any.
will vote against it. 1t may be well to
suggest that not only those who have
fields by the highways will be benefited
but every man who passes along the
road.-AmerjcdH AgricuiturjSt .tor J,,Hc.

STRAWBERRIES.

Some people recommend planting in
Nav and June. and Others in September
and October: each practice has its adher
ents. and while they are settling which is
best we will prepare our ground by deep
trenching and a liberal dressing. from the
compost heap. and then we will tell them
that the best time for planting the straw
berry iSas soon aS you can get the frost
out of the ground in the spring. If plant
ed in September and October, more than
one-half of the young plants are thrown
out and destroyed by frost and if plant
ed in May and June. the hot, dry wealth
er coming ON before they have got Il per-
lnanent hold of the soil shrivelS more than
half of them up; but when planted be-
fore the sun has much power. and while
there is plenty of moisture in the ground,
and generally Il liberal allowance of
showers. they commence with the season
and never 90 back. The strawberry
should be planted two feet apart between
the rows. and about eight inches between
the plants: these. the year after plant
ing. will give an abundant yield. and in
| spring should be top-dressed with a MKT
ure from the compost heap and rather
more than half-decayed barnyard manure.
The compost and the decayed parts of
the manure will feed the plants. and the
littery parts of the manure drying will
not only act as a mulch by keeping the
sun from drying the ground. but will
also keep the fruit and flowers clean dur
! ing heavy rain. When the fruiting sea-
son is over, this long stuff can be raked
off and carted with other garden refuse

years fruiting. If the weather is very
dry during June. when the Strawberries
are coming into flower. give cOpious
waterings; far better leave it alone than

HOW THE FARMERS ARE Az
EECTED
From the Rural vcrmonter.l


When farmer is charged five times as
much for transporting calf from one
town in the State to another as he can 90
himself for i'm Pullman car, he at least
wants to know how such thing can he
just and right. This is only "A sample of
many minor grievances, but the grieV-
ancc is in the prohibitory freight tariff on
all small shipments. In most cases the
charge for freight in barrels or bags in
less quantity than a carload is very near
~ all that the goods are worth when they
reach their destination, and yet they are
the very same goods that are carried
from the West to New England cities for
Just about one-tenth the money that our
railroads make us pay from Vermont sta
tons to the same markets. Such are the
intimate relationships between "A large
number of our city residents and the oc-
cupants of our farms that immense guam
titles of farm products could be sold that
now 90 unSOld because of these prOhib-
torv rates. For instance. if potatoes.
apples, onions. cabbages. beans, peas,
and other such produce could be sent by
the barrel or bag at say thirty per cent
more than car rates for the same goods,
a large direct trade would begin at once
between the producer and consumer and
the farmer would be able to get sales for
many things. and for odds and ends of
produce that our stores will not buy at
prices that justify carrying to market.
And. besides this. there are thousands of
prople in lower New England who were
born on our farms or are connected with
our farming families who would delight
in getting much of their food directly
from those they know. 1t is a common
remark among them. GLOW good things
right from home do taste: but there. we
can't buy them. for the freight is As much
a, the same things cost Us here. We
believe that if fair rates for such ship
ments were established. the export of
farm produce from Vermont to other
states would be doubled in few years.

THE PROGRESS OF ENSILAGE.

Within the last few years enSilage has
passed the experimental stage. and has
been adopted by so many farmers that it
may be considered rs an established
method among many who devote them
selves to darying. The number of silos
in the United States III lSSO is said to
have been only six while it is estimated
that there are now about two thousand.
In England there We're in 1850 only four
siloS. while now Mr.. NJ. j. Sutton. in his
recent admirable work on "Permanent
and Temporary Pastures. estimates that
there are between eleven and twelve hun
dred. In England. the silo will come
into competitor with Ordinary hay
making, allowing the farmer to
secure his crops of grass and clover
in very wet seasons more prompt
" and safely than he could a. hay. In
this country. on the other hand. ensilage
will be mainly directed to the preserva-
ton of fodder corn. crop of admitted
value. but one which is on all hands re-
garded as very difficult to cure. In the
Southern States. the silo will allow the
farmer to preserve one of his most i'm
portant crops. the Southern Cow-pea.
This, which is regarded as most valuable
as hay, is difficult to cure. as the large
leaves are shaken off in the process, but
packed in the silo, they yield most val
liable cattle food, probably equal in val
ue to ensilaged clover.-American Agri-
