a number of boots, shoes and slippers
in which emperors, kings, queens,
princes and other august or famous

den through life. Among them are a

French Marshal Murat; sfterward king
of the two SicilIes; a pair of high-heeled
boots of Maria Theresa; boots of the

Though the wheat plant is hardy, the
severity of winter tries its hardness TO
the extreme limit OF its endurance.
Snow is the best kind of protection. as
it furnishes moisture to the wheat
leaves when they can draw nothing
from the frozen soil. But as woods are
cleared off snow does not lie evenly
over the surface as it once did, and the
snowdritts often do more harm than
good. Ii the wheat field is exposed TO
winds little straw thrown on it as a
mulch viii often make wonderful diff
ference in the crop. The straw should
be spread as evenly as possible, and
this should be done before fall rains
cease, so that the straw may be beaten
down into the mud, and thus saved
from being blown away during the
winter. a good spreading top 10 the
wheat plant is itself good protection.
and the more so as it indicates CORE
spending habit of growth below the sur
face. II wheat roots spread out hori-
zontally they are not likely to be
thrown out When the soil is lifted by
freezing they rise and fall With it.

rushes were too much for Dacey to stop.
He repeatedly sent his left at Daeey g. face
with terrible force, the latter ducking in q
vain attempt to get away. McAuliffs
would thea upper-put him numerically.
