Book Iv.-The Disguise.
CHAPTER I
THE DEN.

The place where Dick had struck the
line of high road was not far from Holy
wood, and within nine or ten miles OF
Shereby. on the Till; and here, after max
ing sure that they were pursued no long
er, the two bodies separated. Lord Fox
hams followers departed, carrying their
wounded master towards the comfort and
security Of the great abbey: snd Dick, az
he saw them wind away ard disappear in
the thick curtain OF the falling snow, wss
left alone with near upon 6 dozen out
laws, the last remainder Of his troop OF
volunteers.
Some were wounded; one and all were
posure; and though they. were now too
cold and hungry to do more, they grum-
bled and cast sullen looks upon their
leaders. Dick emptied his purse among
them, leaving himself nothing; thanked
them for the courage they displayed,
though he could have found 1t more
readily in his heart to rate them for pol
troonery: and having thus somewhat
softened the effect Of his prolonged mis-
fortune, despatched them to find their
way, either severslly or in pairs, to Shore
by and the Goat and Bagpipss.
For his own part, Influenced by what
he had seen on board of the Good Hope,
he chose Lswless to be his companion on
the walk. The snow was now falling,
without pause or variation, in one even
binding cloud; the wind had been
strangled, and now blew no longer; and
the whole world was blotted out and
sheeted down below that client inunds-
ton. There was great danger of wan
dering by the way and perishingNin drifts
and LAwless, keeping half step in from,
OF his companion, and holding his head
forward Ike . hunting dog upon the
scent, inquired his way Of every tree,
and studied their path as though he were
coming Z ship among dangers.

sippi river has risen here above danger
line and al the saw mills In the city have
been forced to shut down. Front street
families have been driven out of their
homes by the scores, but no lives have
yet been lost. This morning the river was
stationary, bu. reports from above indi-

Good Food Is Essential.

Farmers, you may as well try to make a gold chain from a rat : tail as to try to make profits from half-fed poultry or other stock. No man can raise poultry and make it pay unless he feeds it well. Many farmers feed their hens about one-half what they need through the winter, and in the spring ;ts soon as the snow is of tho birds are let out to get their own liv- ing until snow comes again. If they get into the garden and scratch q little they are shut up and almost starved
 This is not the way to have good poultry and make il pay, Feed your hens all they will eat of different kinds of grain and give them fresh water to drink every day through the winter, and in the spring they will shine like new dollars rut don't stop feeding because the snow is gone
 Continue to give them all they will eat up clean, let them have free range and nine times out of ten they will not disturb you" garden and they will lay well and their cgg7 will hatch. Eggs will not hatch if the hens have been nearly starved through the win ter.--C <. B0gd, U Forhi olh Home.

Preparations tor Winter Dairying.

The present is the time to begin preparations for making butter in win ter. The first requisite is that the COWS shall come in during the months of September and October, and calcu- lations must be made accordingly. The advantages of changing from the old system ot sumE.cr Gairying tO win ter operations are 50 great that many of the most intelligent and progressive dairy farmers have adopted the latter method. They thus escape the daily and eXacting labor of the dairy during the busy summer months, when the general operations of the farm demand the most attention. The cows go dry during the sultry days of midsum- mer. when the pastures arc the most parched and scanty. There is no butter to be kept over through the hot season, when keeping il in good order is the most difficult and prices are the lowest. These and other advantages are greatly in favor of winter oairying, which has been made practicable by the modern im- provements iu deep setting, preserv- ing fodder in eilos, centrifugal separat- ing, etc With this, as with other important changes, it is the first step which costs.
 The first step, as indicated above, is to hold the COWS back SC they will come iu during September of next year. In the vicinity of butter factory it is desirable that the majority of the patrons shall agree 10 make the change, that the factory may be kept running through the winter. Those who al- ready have COWS which will come in next fall, or can buy them, must see that good shelter is provided, with plenty of cusilage, means for taking the chill from the drinking water, etc. IL is idle 10 object 10 this system as "uunatulal' for the cows. The dairy COW, a. we have her to-day, is an arti- ficial product any way, which has been brought to her present state of de- vclopmcul ny a long course of breed ing and care II is only a step for ward in the same direction to change her season of greatest milk flow from summer to winter .imortcdN 1grt- cuttartSt

BUILDINGS ON FARMS.
A Few Thourits Iia cd on Measurements
 of Barns in Various states.

"A 1hON:ll$ tbt GU on
 of Barns in Various states.
 How much poor management is seen in the cOnst" ctiun of buildings on the farm. The wagon-house is made so the wagon must be backed in by hand or with the team: the consequence is the wagon stands out iii the sun and rain a good portion of the time. If it had been made open at each side 1t would be just as handy to drive into the shed as to unhitch outside. Corn cribs are so built that the rats and mice can eat all they want of the very best, and spoil ten times as much more. Cribs are usually located quite a distance from the barn. Cribs set on posts ? feet high and timed, will be pnoof against rats and mice, and II located each side of the fill of the driveway into bank barn, they would be handy to the stables and easy to fill. A portion of one building can be used for storing wheat, etc, away from rats. and save valuable room in the barn where granaries are usually put. lllttH oi V-O ID pul iil'O 't '''ih' to hold water for stock, which will last only a few years, and freeze up in wint CT. A few more dollars would build cistern, in the fill of the drive way to a bank barn, which would not freeze. and would last life time, and being elevated the water would be conducted by ,i pipe to the barn-yard, or any place desired. This arrange ment would give water ill the feeding room for mixing feed, etc. We often hear men who have bank barns 50x70 feet. complain of not having room enough for their stock in cold weather. Room in the lower story is valuable, every foot should be economized, but in almost ak stables the ceiling over the cattle is as high as that over the horses. This is a waste of valuable room. By putting cattle-stables under the barn floor you can lower the floor II { feet The now floors being l ] feet higher than the barn floor will afford ample space to feed hay, etc, into the racks of the stables below from the two sides of the barn floor, saving all of the leaves and seed. which are the most valuable, and also saves two handlings of all of the rough feed the farmer gives to his stock. By this i plan the pitching of hay out of mow is all the labor in feeding worth speak ing of, as q boy six years old can shove hay of the barn floor into the racks.
 The entries between the stables need only be 4 feet wide-ample room for feeding grain-thus economizing much room. making q stable under barn 40x56 feet hold all the stock usually ] got into barns 60X70 feet. Having entries 1 feet wide. the racks for hay , being extended out to the middle, will form tight floor over entries, leaving sufficient space for man 6A feet tall 10 walk through. Y. 2.

 The best blood is not always required to make good meat. Some men make a desirable porker out of a lninghng o1 all the hloods known in a community. All they want is plenty of bone and muscle and the points well rounded. While d secoud-rate pig will dc well In good hands, q tirSt-ciaSs one will dc correspondinply better.

USE OF NIGHT-SOIl.
One of the Most Valuable Additions t
 the Available supply of Manure.

One of the Most Valuable Additions to
 the Available supply of Manure.
 When. some years ago, l had an op- portunity of gathering the otfal of a considerable country town to which my farm was adjacent, l made about three hundred tons of the best kind of manure at d cost of not more than a dollar per ton, including all expenses and charges for use of teams. The streets were scraped and a large quantity of all sorts of waste matter leaves, manure, guttcr-mud, garbage, etc.-was gathered and mixed with the night-sOil so that it was handled in an inoffensive and easy way. The odor was neutralized by means of gypsum
 (plaster) literally scattered over the heaps as they were made, and the large quantity of earth from the streets also helped to the same end. l csti- mated the value of the crops raised by means of this compost as quite equal to $3,000 year The cess-pools were emptied by means of large buckets raised by a rope and pulley. The buckets were filled by a man using a long-handled scoop, and quite often the house over the cess-pool was moved over a new one, and the old one was then emptied and filled ill with the clean earth, from the one newly dug.
 But this is semi-civilized way only n st n The best way is to make the dry earth closet imperative. The agricultural press has made several most valuable reforms, and it can infOrce this if it will make the attempt. if it will only keep begging away at it. It would pay an enterprising farmer to supply these closets, simply made, and the dry earth required at weekly intervals, and to remove the contents of the boxes for the value of the manure l have found that family of three persons will accumulate about one ton of earth closet refuse In one year. and eSti- mate this to be worth %lO for use. l don't care about the estimated value from analysis; I think farmer who has paid $3 for ton of city manure in which he gets a large percentage of rubish, can make fl0 out of ton of the soil from an earth-closet, with less labor by far than by handling three tons of city stable manure.
 The crops for which this domestic fertilizer Is most useful are those of very succulent kind, such as cabbages, boets, musk-melons (this crop is es- pecially improved by iO, onions, pota- toes and grass. It is the best of all for d lawn, because of its fneness and solubility, as well ns for its feltilizing effect. It is easily applied as a top dressing, OF narrowed in after the land is plowed. l have used 20 largo per acre on wheat, and l have taken of 37 bushels per acre. The best effects yet were upon To- acre field of clover and timothy, which gave 25 tons of hay the first cutting, and yielded for the second crop more than half as much more of the finest kind of clover hay and pasture after ward, Farmers who live near villages or towns, in thickly-pOpulated To calitics, should by no means neglect this valuable addition to their avail able supply of manure.
