Sowing Carrot Seed.

1t is very difficult to get uniform
stand of carrots without heavy seeding,
which requires much work in thinning.
The young plants are very slender,
and two standing closely together
will look so much like one as to de-
ceive the weeder. The shorthorn car
rot is less injured by close planting
than those varieties that root deeper.
The rows should be in perfectly
straight lines, so that us much as pos
sible can be done without hand weed
ing. When all outside this line has
been we'll cultivated. cut spaces into
the rows with narrow hoe, chopping
out some carrots with the weeds, but
greatly reducing the work to be done
by thumb and fingers. Carrot seed is
slow to terminate and should be soak
ed four or five days TO swell before be-
ing sown, drying by mixing with sand.

Perry's orders were, in case nothing
was seen or heard of Sergt Gwynne

closure and make inquiries at the ranch
itself. Meantime, the Cheyenne scouts
had been hastily summoned from their
lodges along the Monee just above the
post and sent scurrying forth upon the
prairie to trail the horses foot prints and
so work back as far as possible before
darkness interposed. Capt. Stryker, too,

that the sooner they got to Dunraven the

himself to visit the stables and examine
the wounds ON the horses flank, but as
they rode away from Rossiter he turned
in the saddle and called the non-commis-
