He had been employed about two
months when n morning Uncle Adoni-
ram stepped on his car. His first i'm
pulse was to pull his hat down over his
eyes and avoid recognition if possible.
but Charles Barney was learning mani-
aess as well as application and he imme-
aiately thought better of it. The old
a did not look up when his nephew
gave him his change; but Charles said
softly: "Good morning, uncle" and
then sprang to his feet.
"Charlesr' he exclaimed, grasping
the conductors hand. "Charles, my
boy, how do you do2"
There was abundant love and hearth
ness in Uncle Adoniram's voice and man
ner, and there was something more that
was new to Charles. He knew now that
for the first time his uncle really re-
spected him, and out of this a stronger
courage was born.

the old man said, as he stood on the back
platform with his nephew; ''andI have
been worried about you, too. Why have
you not been home, Charlesf"
"Because I wanted to see il | was really
going to keep my POSITION" the young
man answered; land because, uncle, ]

The young man went home the mex

him; but he still kept his position as ca

PHOSPHATE FOR TURNrPs.

In England phosphate is not applied
to grain crops directly as here, but Is
used on turnips, and these are fed of by
sheep ON the land where the roots grow;
Sheep that have had some experience will
dig out the interior of the turnip very
quickly, leaving the pungent peehng on
the outside untouched, ave where the
hole was made to get at the centre. In
this double working of the phosphate In
the roots and through the animals
stomachs, it gains very considerably in
effective value for grain, and when eaten
by sheep is distributed quite evenly.
The animals are herded or confined in
small plots on the turnip field until the
roots are fully eaten.-Nt" York VT

Naman and MachinerY.p

One of the most serious defects in the
feminine mind is the inability to deal
with machinery. 1t is arare thing to lind
a woman who really grasps the idea OF
a mechanical continuance so as to set 1t to
rights if it goes wrong. A sad result OF
this defect was the dreadful death OF
Emma De Groat in the Albany shirt
factory. She was caught in the machinery
and whirled round a line Of shaftlng.
None of the girls with her had instant
brains enoughto stop the machiae. One

SETTING MILL FOR CREAM,

1t is generally conceded that for the
best results in butter making, where the
milk is set in deep cans, the milk should
be placed in the creamer as nearly as pos
sible at the temperature at which 1t is
drawn from the COW, there being a con-
siderable loss of fat in skim-milk If the
milk is allowed to cool to any great ex-
tent before being set. OF late there has
been considerable controversy as to
whether it is advisable under any condi-
tons, to warm the milk before setting,
and as to the limit Of temperature beyond
which it is not safe to go. Mr.. l. P.
Roberts concludes, as the result of inves-
LEGATIONS at the College of Agriculture (.
Cornell University, that first there is a
loss of butter when The milk is heated,
there Is nc risk Of injuring the quality Of
the butter by incorporating in excess OF
c~aseine, ven when the milk is heated as
high as 1856 degrees.-NeU York World

HINTS O HORSES.

Once during lifetime is all any man
need expect to be suited in q family horse.
Be kind but firm with the horse; petting
is as much out of place as abuse. Feed
the horse out of a trough placed ON the

position, but it prevents the proper eleva-
tor muscles of the shoulder becoming rigid
and fixed, whieh by constant use of high

worked in towns to heavy carts or light
carriages unable when turned out to grass
to get their heads to the ground without
setting the fore feet out wide. sometimes
going down on one or both knees, or set
ting one leg forward with the other as far
back as possible. Twelve quarts of good,
clean old oats, with twenty-one pounds OF

salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary

THE FARM AND r
run cRop-BouNn FOWL.

The crop-bound fowl is not n which
has simply. gorged itself with food, but
one which has the passage INSTRUCTED
through which the food passes from the
crop to the gizzard. A fowl never eats
more than it can digest, provided the
food can get into the digestive organs
A fowl rarely swallows anything which
cannot easily pass into the gizzard. The
trouble is solely caused by the accunula'
