CHAPTER xI.-MARsHLANDs

We had started by an early train, and
arrived at Netherton soon after four. L
knew we were to be met at the station,
and was not at all surprised when fresh
coIored, white-haired old gentleman
brandished his stick as a token of well
come to Joyce. | was quite sure that it
was Squire Cheriton before Joyce clapped
her hands and exclaimed
''There's gran"
"Halloo, little one" he said, cheerily,
as she ran up to him with a joyous face:
$50 you have not forgotten grandfather?
Bless me, you are not bit like vi; you
have taken after Alck So this is the boy,
nurse2 Dear me! which is the nurse"
looking at me with rather q puzzled co IN
tenance.
~ am the nurse, sir" I returned, quiet
ly; "and this is Hannah"
Hannah Sowerby, of course. Bless
me, never forget a face-never; | knew
yours directly" as Hannah dropped a
countrifed courtesy to the squire. 81 saw
Michael the other day; he was looking
hale and hearty-hale and hearty; That

Michael / said-oh, we are both of an
age, old Michael and /, and / am hale and

auntie waiting for u.s." and, talking half
TO us and half to himself, Mr.. Cheriton
led US through the station. On the way,
however, we were stopped twice; first, the
station master WIS interviewed and the
children introduced to him.
.'My grandchildren, Drake" observed
the squire, proudly, twirling his gold
headed stick as he spoke; then "A burly
farmer jostled against the squire, and
the two commenced observations on the
weather.
Cline weather for the crops, Roberts;
the oats look lively. These are my grand
children; fine boy that"
Little girl looks rather peaky, squire;

"Eh, what2 Wen fatten her, won't

you, move on Ta-ta, Roberts" And Mr..
Chcrton drove us out before him. An
open baryuche was waiting ut the door,
and a young lady was on the box, trying
to hold in Il pair Of thorough brels. When
she saw ms she at once handed the reins
to her father, and jumped lightly to the
ground.

Veal Calves for Market.

American AgriCulturist.
There has never as vet been an over sup
ply of good veal on the American market,
so early as the LIST of September well-fatted
calves which will weigh from 40 to 10
pounds these are the extreme weights APP
proved of by Dealers, will command Sc per
pound; at the same date, calves which
have, obtained seapty npurishment at pas
lures seiiIat ed t1c2a4icl PER- ipSdnd; and
calves which have received buttermilk as
feed will sell at 2 q to 334c per pound.
Those farmers who provide Il ration of
meal fed calves up to 200 to go pounds
per head, secure good profit in sell
ing ut Sc to sc per pound, according to
quality. The slaughter of bobcalN eS and
the downright murder of starving grass
fed calves is one of the things which are
past the comprehension of those who are
frequenters of the markets of great cities
Let IA farmer who keeps fifteen dairy cows
prepare himself early in the season to keep
all his calves, and when milk contracts are
offered to him, let the answer be-
Il can this year only sell half Ofmy milk
flow Then, when the calf-speculator
comes, as he is certain to do, the reply to
his queries should be: Il have no calves
to sell Later on will have some choice
ones to offer you" Any farmer can obtain
as earl us the month of July &c to 613c
per pound for early calves, further on in
the season 7c to Fac per pound can be
realized; and late calves fed up to veals
will sell in November and December at
from &c to l0l3c per pound.

Tho fight now being made for hon
esty in Christian county is attracting
the attention of the whole State, and
law-abiding people everywhere expect
the good people OF Christian county to
do their duty at the coming election
In no other county in the State would
a confessed defaulter have had the
hardihood to ask reelection and no
other committee but the gang who
control the Republican party in this
county would have openly con
yived at corruption by endorsing such
a candidate. Mr.. Boyd may suit the
corrupt element of his party, but the
honest Republican voters will not
touch him with ten-foot pole. John
Boyd will never be sheriff of Chris
tan county again. Mark that.

Mr.. James Breathitt, who makes
specially of criminal practice, WIS
sent out to the Chalybeate Spring
Monday to defend the Boyd ticket.
Tho candidates for sheriff by agree
ment had staid away, Mr.. West not
being apprised Of the fact that the
ablest Republican orator of the coun-
ty would represent Mr.. Boyd. Mr..
Breathitt's speech was a partisan de-
Tense of a very weak cause. 1t was
so manifestly unfair that Mr.. w. E.
Ragsdale, who was present, replied to
it in stirring speech of thirty min
utes, and the applause that frequently
interrupted the speaker clearly indi-
Gated that the crowd of $50 voters was
largely against Mr.. Breathitts client.

"Finding Paths to California" and

exploring expeditions, but to narrate
the writer's intimate connection with
the events which led to the conquest
and occupation of the territory. The
work will be promptly continued by
Mrs. Fremont. A first draft oil the
article has been made, and the subject
had been so recently and closely dis
cussed by General and Mrs. Fremont
that she will have no trouble in COM
plotting the manuscript, for which she
had already written an introduction,
as well as supplement describing her
life at Monterey in 1919. A fine por-
trait of General Fremont from da-
guereotype of 40 or 80 will appear
in the September number OF The
Century, along with the portraits OF
