then bends the tops over. and ties them
with fibre obtained from the numerous

twines thicker creepers in and out of
these sticks. all round the circle of
spaces about twelve inches apart, and

THE DUKE AND THE FARMER.
How AN Old Tenant Farmer Interviewed
His Noble Landlord.


They say that the late duke of Bed
ford's Tavistock agent, now deceased
was reputed To carry matters with q
somewhat high and even tyrannica
hand, and. having desire to benefit q
neighboring tenant, had given an ole
farmer notice to quit possession OF q
field which for several generations haC
been part and parcel of the farm which
he and his fathers before him hac
rented from the duke. This interior
ence was greatly resented by the farm.
er, who. however. could get no salts
faction from the agent, and finally left
the latter with the threat that he woulc
see the duke" a threat which the
agent heard with little concern, know
ing well that the old man had never
strayed more than a few miles from
Tavistock, and judging accordingly
that he was not likely to journey sud
denly to "Lunnon."
He reclzoned. however. without
knowledge, for the old farmer went
straight home, donned his SUNDAY
best" and, to the amazement of his
folk marched off to the railway station
and took his ticket for Paddington.
The scene changes to the mansion
in Eaton square. where about sever
p IN an old countryman. dressed il
the style of fifty years ago. knocks al
the door and in excited and well-nigh
breathless accents asks the footmar
who opens it if Mr.. Duke of Bed.
ford lived there. The footmar
guessed something of the state of the
ease and forthwith took word to his
grace that one of his Tavistock tenants
wished to see him and Immediately
the old man was ushered into the
presence of Mr.. Duke. Not till ther
did the old farmers courage give way
but. seated in the luxurious library,
words altogether failed him.
The duke ordered up refreshments,
but they were refused by the old man
until he had told his tale, which he did
in broken accents, and the duke listened
attentively, asking one or two simple
but direct questions, and then told his
old tenant that he need not trouble any
more, as he should give orders that his
tenancy was not to be disturbed. But
the dukes kindness did not end there,
for ascertaining that the old man had
no notion as to a nights lodging, or in.
deed of his next step, the duke ordered
his carriage, had the old man driven to
Paddington and safely deposited in the
night mail with a first-class ticket &c
Tavistock in his pocket.-ChicagC

East Walkers Needed.

There is more need of fast walkers
on the farms than there is of fast trot-
tiers. In drawing moving machine.
reaper, hay rake, pillow, cultivator or
any farm machine horse seldom trots.
Here Is where the fast walker Is needed
and on the road, too. horse that will
take a good walk up and down hill will
travel much faster than a slow walker.
In training colt he should be started
off in walk and kept at that until he
gets impatient and starts into a trot
Never allow a cot to think that a walk
is a chance to rest. In driving double
put the colt with fast walker or else
with a horse that takes such slow
trot that the colt must walk fast TO
keep up. A little careful training dur
ing the first few weeks that the colt is
in harness will make a big difference in
his ability to accomplish work.-Farm
