should die it would be of no use for
you to talk about practical jokes You
would be held responsible for its death.
l was going to say to you that it might
be as well for you not to say any thing
about this little venture until I had
seen how Williamson Green took the
joke. Some people get angry with
very little reason, although l hardly
believe he's that sort of man, but now
things are different. He thinks all the
world of that child, which is the only
one they've got, and if you want to stay
outside of Jail or the house Of refuge
1 warn you never to say a word Of where
you have been this night
'sWith this he began to row again,
and followed his example, but with
very heavy heart All that night I
dreamt of the little child with the
damp night winds blowing in upon it
ibid you ever hear if it caught cold?"
asked Aunt Martha.
''No," replied the burglar, 81 never
did. / mentioned the matter to my
father, and he said that he had great
fears upon the subject, for although he
had written to Williamson Green, ask
ing him to return the instruments, he
had not seen him or heard from him, and
he was afraid that the child had died or
was dangerously sick. Shortly after that
my father sent me on a little trip to the

some trouble and, think, without any
noise, succeeded in getting out upon
the trellis with the box under my arm.
The descent was awkward, but my
father was tall man, and, reaching up
ward, relit we'd me of my burden before 1
got to the ground.
"I didn't remember it was so heavy
he whispered, 'or l should have given
you rope to lower it down by. If you
had dropped it and spoiled my instru-
ments, and made lot OF noise besides,
I should have been angry enough
81 was very glad my father was not
angry, and following him over the
green sward we quickly reached the
boat, where the box was slowed away
under the bow to keep it from injury.
1--WE pushed off as quietly as possible
and rowed swiftly down the river. When
we had gone about mile 1 suddenly
dropped my oar with an exclamation of
dismay.
"'What's the matter?' cried my father.
"'Oh, have done dreadful thing

father swore.
"'What do yen want to go back forT
he said.
"sJust to think of it have left open
the window in which that beautiful
child was sleeping. If it should take
cold and die from the damp air of the
river blowing upon it should never
forgive myself. o. If 1 had only thought
of climbing up the trellis again and
pulling down that sash. am sure /
could 60 back and do it without making
the least noise My father gave grunt
but what the grunt meant 1 do not
know, and for a few moments he was
silent, and then he said:

distance is too great, the tide is against
us, and it is time that you and 1 are

FEEDING AND FITTING CATTLE.
Stock Raiser Gives ais Views on an
Important Subject.

A Stock Raiser Gives Ais Views on an
Important Subject.
After waiting weeks for some one of
more experience to answer your CORE
spondent's questions as to the method of
feeding and fitting cattle for sale, will
say, first, shelter we'll; no matter how
rude the structure so it be dry and keeps
out the winds. A floor is indispensable
to cleanliness; bed we'll; turn out in
daytime unless too bleak. A good alton
for an adult three times daily is: One
gallon of cracked corn nearly as
coarse as hominy, one-half gallon of
wheat bran. and one gallon of cut hay;
one-half gallon will do. Feed and
water regularly as clock-work Groom
ing is of least Importance. A good
judge will detect good coat if we'll fed
and sheltered. A good brush and wool
en- cloth will give finish; leave the
curry-comb to the horses. If used at all
it should be lightly.
As to pampering or overlooking, we
think fifty Short-hOrns are damaged by
under-feed1ng to one by overlooking.
A good Judge can guess with reasonable
certainty what a thin animal will feed
to. But when one is developed to as
near perfection in points as possible
every one knows it to be a good one.
The reason some persons cry out against
high keep is because they have bought
good animal that has had liberal treat
ment and turned it out on pennyroyal,
dog fennel, smart or ragweed, and been
disappointed. Poor keep and degener-
alton are first cousins, If not twin
brothers. We remember when it was
generally thought that horses to be en-
during must be raised on grass and hay;
'freze OUT in winter, as it was termed.
In the days Of Lady Suffolk, Flora Tenn
pie, Ethan Allen, George M. Patchen,
ct al, it was thought that a trotting
horse must have age before being de-
veloped; but now the phenomenal colts
get their oats as soon as they will eat,
and continue to get them. The world
moves in horses; why not in cattle?-
Allen Warner, in Breeders Gazette.

Money In Mutton.

The raising of early lambs for the city
markets offers rare encouragement to
sheep husbandry. Mr.. Bowditch sold
lambs last season 40 days Of age which
dressed over 80 pounds each. Such a
lamb would bring $40, perhaps more.
His plan is to produce very fat lamb
at the youngest age possible. A neigh.
Dor, near my own home in Connecticut,
kept 10 ewes during the winter of 1881
and 1888. The sales of lambs and wool
Melted 1926, or an average Of SS.12 per
head for the entire flock. The lambs
were sold on commission in Hartford,
which, by the way, is the best method
for selling such stock. The reputable
dealer can easily secure better price
than the producer. With good stock,
good care and liberal feeding far better
results can be obtained with sheep than
with almost any other farm animal.
But "a good breeder must be a good
feeder" We must not expect some
thing to come of nothing. We must not
give the sheep old, worn-out pastures
where scarcely any other stock would
live. Before we get dividend we must
deposit cash in the bank. Let US de-
post in the bank which our funds rep
resent capital which will return US a
good dividend. While it is impossible
to keep sheep on every farm, it can be
done with proet on larger number Of
farms than are keeping them to-day. 1
would not advise a radical change by
selling all the cattle at once. but by be-
ginning the purchase of a few good
sheep and increasing the number as cir
cumstances permit. Don't be afraid OF
over-stocking the market The first
class lamb or mutton carcass will always
find buyer at full market value

has an oscillating arm pivoted near the
back of the casing which incloses the
mechanism. This arm has motion inn
parted to it about midway between the
pivot and the cutter by means of a
crank carrying a steel roller. The neces-
sary pressure is brought upon the cutter
through the fork by means of spher-
ical-ended stud, or mushroom piece"
as it is called. This stud is surmounted
by an external cap, which can be
screwed down so as to adjust the press
ure on the cutter. The whole of this
apparatus is about twelve inches long,
and for shearing it is connected with
flexible shaft, which can be driven by
any convenient power. The rotation of
the shaft causes the cutter to move
rapidly to and fro across the face of
the comb, so that when applied to
sheep the wool is clipped off as fast as
it is brought between the teeth of the
comb and those Of the cutter. - n. Y.

The pony is the horse of hardships,
says a horseman in an exchange, and
one that has sprung from some poor
country where he has ever been purely
the child of neglect, he and all the pre-
decessors of his race. In rich country,
like the horse regions of Kentucky for
instance, his pony characteristics would
invariably run out in the course of a
few generations. He is not a distinct
strain, as many would seem to suppose.
He doubtless sprang originally from as
good a strain of horses as the world
knew of at the time, and his present re-
duced size and characteristic toughness
have resulted unquestionably from local
circumstances

WOOD ASHES.
Their value When Applied to Different
Kinds of Soil.

Their value When Applied to Different
Kinds of Soil.
Leached wood ashes contain about 6
per cent of phosphoric acid and ~ per
cent of potash-two valuable fertilizers
for number of crops-and about "a per
cent Of lime, which, when applied to
the soil, has the effect of rendering
available plant food that is already in
the soil. On land that has been cropped
until at least some of the elements of
plant food have decreased so that full
average crops can not be made, wood
ashes are worth, says the St. Louis Re-
public, all the way from Is to % cents
per bushel.
They can be applied to nearly all
kinds of fruits with profit. With potatoes
they are especially valuable, either ap-
piled in the hill or scattered broadcast
and worked we'll into the soil. Onions
are another crop that can in many cases
be largely benefited by an application of
wood ashes.
If applied in the orchard, good plan
is to stir the soil thoroughly and then
apply broadcast and work we'll in The
soil can be stirred as far out as the
branches extend.
With onions one of the best plans of
applying is to prepare the soil in a good
filth ready for the seed or buttons, and
then scatter the ashes as evenly as pos
sible over the surface, and then, with a
good rake, work we'll into the soil; then
mark out the rows and plant; or the
seed can be planted and then the ashes
be scattered over the surface; the nee
essary cultivation will work sufficiently
into the soil. The roots of the onions
grow very near the surface and there is
no necessity for working the fertilizer
deep into the soil
When there is good supply of ashes
they can be applied broadcast for po-
tatoes, working well into the soil. Very
good results can also be obtained by APP
plying in the hill. Mark out the rows
the proper distance apart and then put
a small quantity of ashes where each
hill is to grow; eighteen inches apart in
the row is a good distance. Stir into
the soil we'll, and then plant the seed
and cover. This places the fertilizer in
a position where it can be readily
reached by the roots of the plants. 1t
is not a good plan to have the ashes
come in direct contact with the tubers;
hence good care should be taken to in
corporate well with the soil before
planting.
Ashes aid to make stiff soil more
friable, and can be profitably used with
nearly all garden or truck crops.

ING MACHINE. she airing ma
chine, however, as described in its
details, is a very ingenious piece OF
mechanism. The main features are the
clever way in which the rotary motion
of the main. spindle is converted into
the reciprocating motion impaired to
the cutter, and the method of putting
the necessary pressure upon the cutter.
First we have steel comb, which Is
about two inches broad at the points Of
the teeth. which are slightly curved
underneath. This comb is stationary,
