Upon the opposite side of the poor
bed the granger was kneeling, with
his bearded face buried in the quilt
beside the sick child, and his frame
shaking with soundless sobs. almost in
unison with the chill DIS gasping.
Then, impatient and wondering at
old Slade's delay. the rest of the cow
boys, with the exception of one who
held the cayuses, hurried, and then
crept forward till they were all squat
ted beneath the window. At first
their hands were on the butts of their
huge revolvers, but as the granger
spoke in trembling tones every hand
was withdrawn from its weapon.
Then. one by one, they peered eau
tiously in.
"Prayin'" Scotty whispered softly
to his neighbor.
Then the child's feeble voice inter-
rupted the prayer.

Slade whispered, softly.
Perhaps none Of the cowboys squat

Of acumen, but n the prayer-vehe-
ment almost agonizing-went on,

The prayer ceased presently, but

bowed. and the COWBOYS heard some

Cultivation Overdone.

Weeds are only an effort of the soil
toward self-protection. Baroness ia
vors packing, burning and mechanical
deterioration of the soil. and the es-
cape of nitrogenous plant-food by
drainage or evaporation. A weed
crop has the effects of a mulch; keeps
the soil open and mellow, and holds
and stores the fugitive nitrogen.
Ground not otherwise occupied, there
fore, can hardly be given better treat
ment than by leaving it in weeds, pro-
vided. however, that these are not per-
mitted to mature or scatter seeds. So
long as weeds are harmless, continued
cultivation of ground not intended for
immediate planting, merely for the
sake of weed-destruction, is not to be
commended. Every thing has its time,
cultivation as we'll as weed-gr0wth.
And then a heavy growth of weeds
plowed under, although not as good
perhaps as coat of good manure. is
at least a substitute for it sufficiently
important to deserve consideration

SWEET POTATOES.

What . Largo Cultivator Has 70 HaV
About Their Value ~ . Food for Stock.
Those farmers in the West and South
who raise grain and stock should Ger.
tainly raise sweet potatoes to feed their
stock in connection with grain. Aside
from their fat and fesh-fOrming ma
terials they exercise q cooling influ-
ence on the system, materially reduc-
ing the chances of disease. From three
to six times as many bushels per acre
can be grown as of corn, thus making
them the cheapest to raise. They can
be easily grown on almost any kind OF
soil where water does not stand at any
time, but on low land the ridges should
be made quite high. and plants OF the
Golden Queen and Red Bermuda set at
least two feet apart on the ridge. The
above kinds are the most productive
and are excellent varieties for the table.
A large cultivator says that fed with
corn-one-third potato and two-thirds
corn-to hogs, and given nothing but
water to drink, they increased in
weight much faster than others which
had their feed of corn supplemented
with the milk and slops from the
kitchen. The analysis of sweet potato
shows 65. 2 per cent. of starch and 14.S
per cent. of sugar, which is proof
enough of their value as food prod
uct.
At this time, more than ever before.
the profits of the farm depend upon
the economical methods and in its
The low price of most
all kinds of farm produce makes it
absolutely necessary for the farmer to
look for the cheapest way to produce

1roao n 01ooAo1 AAlmals.
In order TO make success of breed
ing and raising stock to sell again -
breeders it Il not only necessary to
have good stock. but he must build up
. reputation for his stock and himself.
His stock may be Of the very best kind.
and yet II he has not been able to build
up reputation for honesty and fair
dealing. he will find it somewhat DIM
cult to build up q good trade.
It's not only necessary that he should
own good stock, but he must be able
to make and breed 80 that the offspring
that he may secure will not only be Of
fully as good quality as the parents.
but he must be able to still further
transmit these good qualities to his of
spring. The appearance Of his is not
always q criterion of this. and
this is one reason why it
Is 80 necessary to deal with
only reliable parties. The purchaser
of improved stock generally makes an
investment that he expects to be profit
able. Nearly all kinds of breeding
stock are sold at prices considerably
above the average market prices, con-
sidering every thing else to be equal,
except as for breeders.
In determining q question Of this
kind the reliability and honesty of the
breeder becomes very important
item, as it is the purchasers principal
reliance for securing good breeding
stock. And the breeder who has start
ed out with the intention of securing,
or rather of building up trade, must
be honest with his customers, or in 4
short time he will find himself unable
to make sales at any thing like fair
price. A reputation for honesty is at
the foundation of success with the
breeders, and if any thing like last
ing business is secured it is abso-
lutely essential. It is true that occa-
sionally breeder will be able by sharp
practices to seemingly make success
for SOM time, but he is certain to be
overtaken at last; while on the other
nand. a reputation for honesty and fair
dealing will grow, and the longer the
better. so that the reputation, or the
name itself, will be quite an item.

LEGEND OF MARcoL,N,.

curious Venetian Custom That Koopo

In the courts Of Venice curious
custom has been observed for five
hundred years When the Council Of
Ton, body of men acting a. q jury.
brings In sentence of death, before
the presiding Judge puts on the black
cap the venerable crier advances and
cries three times in q loud voice,
" "kecordatevi del povera Marcolini."
Near the grand landing place of the
gondolas are the columns Of Saint
Mark and Saint Theodore. Nearly
all the people passing the grand land
Ing place pass around the columns.
Only foreigners and strangers pass be-
tween the two slender pillars. It is
the ancient place of execution, and
there Marcolini met his death.
Many years ago Marcolini. young
Venetian noble, paid court to the
beautiful Giulietta, whose family oc-
cupied a palace on the same square
One night as the dial ON the clock
tower marked the early morning hour
he was returning home from a visit to
his inamorata, softly singing in the
exuberance of his spirits, for he had
been accepted, and the parents of his
fancee had given consent to their
nuptials. Passing across a small
campo he picked up an embroidered
belt, with an empty jeweled scabbard,
and fastening the girdle around him,
he continued his course, still humming
his tune. When he came to the steps
of the Rialto he was seized by the
guard and accused of murder. He
was taken to the spot where Senator
Rinaldi lay dead with dagger in his
heart 1t was found that the stiletto
exactly fitted the sheath which Mar
colini carried. He was speedily tried.
condemned and beheaded. Giulietta
went mad and was confined on the little
island devoted to the insane.
Many years after a bandit on his
death-bed confessed to priest that he
had been hired to murder the Senator.
The sentence against Marcolini was
reversed and his confiscated estates
were restored to his family. But poor
Giulietta's reason could not be re-
stored by an edict of law. When the
judge who condemned Marcolini came
to die he provided in his will that a
mass should be sung every night for
ever in a chapel of the ducal church.

and others who had suffered from un.
