Stagnation Next to DamnatiOn.

Sam Jones was once riding on q
Southern railroad on which the trains
made sixteen miles an hour. He COM
planned to the conductor of the ex-
treme slowness, and was complacent-
ly told il reply that there had never
been an accident on the road. eyes,
said Mr.. Jones, "and you never paid
the stockholders dividend" It is
that way in religion. These slow,
quiet preachers who never did any
damage never paid any dividends into
Heaven. Stagnation, he repeated,
was next to damnation.

With demoniacal shrek of impotent
rage, Fairfax tore onward through shrub
and low-lying branches, calling out fiercely
"Hell and its torrents to him who harms
herr'
Soon he sprang from the forest out into a
broad clearing where ran narrow, quiet
cove of the sea. This time the cry sounded
as if among the rocks,
BreGthless, painting like wounded deer,
his garments torn to shreds, bleeding in
every limb, he dashed down the slope and
fell headlong on the jagged stones, tearing
the flesh from his face and body. When he
arose, tottering and staggering, half-blind-
ed and dazed, his left arm hung limp and
motionless by his side, but his eye, wild and
haggard, shot Ground the glances Of a man
determined and desperate even to death.
Naughtl naughtl could he seel Naught,
except a black, ill-omened bird Of strange
form and plumage. Standing motionless on
q crag that overlooked the deeper part of
the cove, it suddenly shrielsed out in those
same weird, unearthly, frightened tones
that he had heard before; and, spreading its
wings, sailed YEARLY away toward the
pines.
With an execration, Fairfax hurled a
stone after it. Thrown with unerring aim
and tremendous force, the missile hit the
creature 80 that it tumbled heavily to the
ground, where it lay futtering in the
throes Of death.
Fairfax glared at it with no other emo
ton than that OF hate and glutted revenge.
A racking pain in his forearm now at

he, for the first time, became aware OF
his frightful condition.

Readable Comments on Three Important
Farm Topics.
Much has been said in regard TO the
feeding OF cattle and the various WAYS
OF preparing food. But mischief is
done by leaving out Of the question the
differences in the various conditions
under which cattle are fed. In some
cases one way may be the best that
would be the worst in others. No
doubt grinding grain is economical
for COWS and for u house-rcared steer
which is fed for farmers domestic
supply of meat. But when a number OF
cattle are fed the labor Of feeding meal
and OF tying up the animals in stalls
eats up the profit, especially now that
stock are SO low in price. am feed
ing number OF beeves, both young
and mature, and have found that un-
husked corn Is better liked by tho
stock and is more economical feeding
than meal The cattle cat more, d.
gest the food better. make more
growth, and are easily managed. Even
yearlings do better upon this cheap
food.
The question Of open-air feeding as
compared with tight and warm barns
is another which has two sides. Last
year / fed twenty head OF cattle in a
lot by themselves through the winter
on hay, with small quantity of ear
corn. They were never under a roof.
and have ranged in wood all sum-
mer. A few weeks ago | brought
three steers of this lot into a comforta-
BILE barn, and put them in stalls TO be
fattened. They all lost appetite, be-
came restless, and lost weight rapidly,
and after months trial they were
turned out again. The habits Of the
cattle and several other circumstances
must be considered before the feeder
can proHtably adopt new methods or
apply what are known as scientific
practices. And ms regards the matter
Of warmth, II is unquestionable that an
animal tied in barn at temperature
of forty degrees will be very much
colder than one in the open air in
sheltered lot at twenty degrees lower
temperature.
Another very common impression
prevailing among those who write for
the instruction OF farmers, but which
is opposed to the experience OF some
is that good stock is always salable." y
What is good stock? Generally il is
supposed to be the puro-bred or crosses

duly considered and The Importance
and relation OF each part to the whole
clearly seen. Then is the time TO de-
eide whether some new implement
ought not TO be purchased, or some
new method OF cultivation adopted.
Brother farmer, why is IL that you
succeed better than many OF your
neighbors9 Because you have better
plaza higher ideal. What enables
you to cultivate your farm better than
your neighbour The fact that YOU
have given the subject more thought
and more study. Successful farming
needs the mind to plan as we'll as the
hand to execute.
This brings me to the third mistake
viz; working too hard and long with
the hands and too little with the head.
| have seen many farmer whose body
has been bent by hard, unremitting
toll. have seen men in other pro-
fessions use their brain so vigorously
that they suffered from nervous pros
tration. In these cases the thinker
and the worker are separate. They
ought to be one and the same The
farmer should mingle more thought
with his work, and the latter more
bodily exercise with his thinking.
Farmers, like men in other profes.
sions, may be divided into two classes.
Many do too much work; others do too
little. At present refer only to the
former class. mean those tireless
workers whose lives are all drudgery.
Men who are old when only middle
aged, and worn out by excessive toll
when they ought to be in their prime.
Such men often acquire some wealth.
but for il they pay fearful cost. The
mistake is in not realizing that there
are other things worth living for be-
sides money, and that man is even
more likely 70 grow rich by learning
and thinking than by merely snailing
and toiling. II these incessant work
ers would shorten their hours of mus
cular labor by one-third, and devote
this time to reading, studying and
planning about their business. they
would not only live to better pur-
pose, but live longer, and make moro
money. When will farmers and.others
learn that life is not for work, but
that work is for life? If our work
adds nothing to the completeness Of
our lives, il it makes us no Drawer or
better, II it contributes nothing TO our
wcll-being and happiness, surely such
labor is in vain. William r, Lazenby,

FARMS AND FARM WORK.
Always Use the Mind to Plan as Well a

Always Use the Nina TO ran as wen Us
the Hand to Execute.
"Can any definite rules be given as
to Just the best size for farms?" / hear
some one ask. BY no means. Rules
must be adapted to circumstances.
The kind Of farming, average capacity
of the farmer, amount of capital, loca-
ton and other factors should be con-
sidered. As a rule, more acres can be
proftably employed in stock farming
than in grain farming; more in fruit
farming than in vegetable farming;
more in mixed farming than in special
ty farming; and so on. In the above
cases there might be great difference
in size, while the difference in value
would be much smaller. A safe rule
is this Never invest more than two
thirds of your working capital in land.
The remaining third will be needed TO
stock and cultivate it to the best adj
vantage. In some special lines OF
farm work that might be slightly
varied, but regard 1t as good gen.
eral rule. 1t should be observed no
matter whether your capital be small
or large, and only varied to meet UNI
usual conditions. BY not adopting
this rule hundreds have failed after
years Of toll and privation. Those
who wish TO live and prosper by farm
ing can not be too often reminded OF
the danger of spreading over too large
an area. 1t is rare to hear Of the fail
ure of man on a small farm, but not
at all uncommon to hear Of failure on
a large or moderate-sized one. have
known steady, industrious and intelli-
gent men to utterly fail and lose every
dollar they possessed, by trying TO
cultivate too much land. Had an equal
amount of capital an1 the same energy
been expended upon farm OF half or
one-third the size, | am confident the
result would have proved less disas-
trOus.
The second mistake is no less fatal
than the one just mentioned. II is the
absence OF any judiciously chosen, we'll
thought-out and faithfully-cxecuted
plan, or policy Of management. Many
farmers have no settled policy what
ever in regard to the conduct OF their
business. How carefully the engineer
or architect plans and estimates his
work, be it the construction Of bridge
or building. A successful farmer
must also practice this kind OF knowl-
edge in the whole laying out and gen
eral management Of his farm. lie

CHAPTER w.
CAPTAIN srARnRIcrr's RAar.


Captain Starhright stood in the center of
the room the very picture of chagrin and
rage. His rebuff had been both unex-
pected and deeply cutting. He was not in
the habit of being thus treated by one of
the weaker sex
"Sol' he muttered at length, with en-
phasis. "Well, did think had you in bet

Then Captain Starbright walked stalking
" from the room. In another and larger
apartment he found tho mother of Grace,
who received the more or less distinguished
Captain with q smile of welcome.
Mrs. Penroy was faded woman of forty
Meek as child, with but little seeming en-
ergy left over after the conclusion of her
married life. She could not even be called
an interesting widow. Nevertheless Cap
tain Starbright imagined she might prove
interesting before the drama he had inau-
gurated was at an end.
81 am glad to see you, Captain; SIT down
and tell me all the news
The faded widow pointed to a chair which
theCaptain took. He had left his hat in the
hall, and the upper part of his forehead
showed extreme narrowness under his
black hair
There was something sinister after all in
the countenance of Clinton Starbright, that
was more noticeable on close scrutiny.
