CHAPTER VII.

Lapotin was not at breakfast; Miss
Rennert's chair, too, was empty; she
had headache, Louis said.
Mrs. Clifford looked pale and excited,
but wonderfully beautiful in her Jacket
of black velvet trimmed with fur Of the
same color, which set off her dazzling
complexion very effectively.
Next her plate lay a bouquet of May
flowers and gardenias, with which at
times her delicate hand toyed. Sudden
ly she drew few May flowers out and
fastened them on her bosom. Count
Degenfeld smiled and swallowed large

me?

Low eaded Fruit Trees.

Almost all apple orchards. says an ex-
change. are trimmed 80 high that ladder
is needed to climb to the first limbs, and in
certain varieties, which tend to upward
growth rather than horizontal growth, the
branches require the longest ladders to
reach the fruit. The reason for this high
trimming was two-foid-to allow easy cult
walton whiles the trees are small and to pre-
vent horses or COWS from filing themselves
with green fruit in the bearing years. Now
neither of these reasons applies What
cultivation is needed can be done while the
trees are young, aud it will be all the bet
ter for the trees if expanding low branches
keep the plow aud cult ator at II distance
from the trunk. All old apple trees show
the scars caused by such usage, aid often
these injuries have worked their way into
the trunk and caused its decay. 1t is not
often advisable TO pasture bearing orchards
with anything larger than pigs or sheep,
and even if the bearing branches reach
almost to the ground, the tree will be none
the worse therefor. AS the country be-
comes cleared of forest growth these high
headed trees are exposed to raking winds,
which blow off the fruit. Falling a long
distance, it is always badly bruised, while
from low-headed trees, with ground free
from stones under il, the fruit that falls is
scarcely perceptibly bruised.

The Farm Garden.

On many farms, says the Rural Home,
the garden Is a neglected institution, strange
as it may appear. The farmer. naturally,
is interested in the main crops, and can
think of nothing else until they are il the
ground. Hence the garden is not planted
till late in the season.
The garden ought to be the first thing
planted An early garden, a garden that
is coaxed and petted little will yield
more than many farmers have an idea Of.
1t is better dozen times than pork barrel
to draw from, and will produce more, con-
siderIng it as factor In health and bodily
comfort, than any other patch of earth.
Many farmers live, practically, in their
gardens; that is, the table is supplied from
it. And the garden or its product gives the
best kind of life, makes good bone and mus
Gle, sweeps the cob~ebs from the mind,
and drives bad humors out Of the body,

Cost of Growing Bsets.

Nearly all estimates Of profit in beet sugar
manufacture put the cost of growing aud
delivering the crop much too low. The
manufacturer could figure out profit if the
farmer were willing to work for nothing
and board himself. Most of the attempts to
make beet sugar have failed from this cause
After trying it one year, or perhaps two,
farmers have refused to grow beets for
nothing, even to help promising industry.
The bounty of 2 cents a pound which the
government will pay on beet, maple or cane
sugar made in this country will intensity
this feeling. 1t is given only to quantities
exceeding 500 pounds. Now if part of this
bounty is not given to the farmer who
grows the beets, there will be few beets
grown for sugar making. In some cases
only 81 ton has been given for sugar beets.
not enough to pay for harvesting and haul
ing where the distance is more than q mile.
In some careful experiments made by
Nebraska farmers, and reported in the STATE
Experimental Bulletin, it was found that
the average cost of growing beets and haul
ing TO market was very nearly $50 per
aero when the crop was a good one. The
state pays cent bounty on sugar and the
United States Q cents. This added to the
selling price Of the sugar made nice profit
TO the manufacturer, but where does the
farmer come in! Unless sugar manufact-
urers are willing to let live as we'll as to live
they must go into other business for want
of material

Gardening--Ihe Farmers Table

goods. How different the vegetable gold 1!

When land is well fortified, titled and
cropped, there is scarcely any limit to its
power of production. When every acre of
land is made to produce to its fullest ca
pacity, becoming one great garden, our
country will be on solid financial basis,
and ''panics" and hard times" will be
things of the past.
In all branches of gardening, woman has
fine opening for healthful, pleasant and
remunerative work. If we except the
rougher kinds of labor, there is scarcely any
department of it which women could not
successfully carry out, and for many opera
lions their quick intuition, patience and
sklllful fingers are pre-eminently fitted.
How shall the farmers table be supplied
1t has repeatedly been proved that no part
OF farm gives better returns than the gar
den. Think how the busy housewife-who
is expected to plan, and perhaps prepare the
thousand meals the family eat each year
Will appreciate L0e well careQ-IOr garden,
which is full Of good, wholesome ana appe-
tizing things The farmers table, of all
others, should be supplied with the best
garden vegetables, in greatest abundance,
and the choicest fruit, fresh from vines,
bushes and trees.
Upon the garden apply intelhge1tly an
abundance of fertilizers, ssand vast amount
of well directed labor. Another important
thing is to use good seed Eternal vigilance
is the price Of freedom from weeds; and re-
member, what are left TO grow, do so at the
expense of your valuable plants. If the
seeds of no weeds are allowed to ripen, it
will greatly lessen the labor Of keeping the
garden clear. Sow as early as possible. on

will find they will help the garden, and the
garden will be a great benefit to them, and
in training them to habits OF industry and
helpfulness, you are laying the foundation
of useful, happy lives. | am sure II will be

Both the leaves and roots of grass hold
manures from wasting, and therefore
manures applied as top-dreSsing, for these
are in less danger of wasting than applied
in any other way. 1t used to be taught
that there was waste of ammonia by ex-
posture Of manure to the atmosphere. But
it is now known that there is only the
slowest kind Of decomposition in manures
thinly spread, and what ammonia is formed
is held by rains and carried into the soil.
The leaves of grass prevent the manure
from washing, while the roots prevent waste
of anything through teaching. The further
advantage from top-dressing grass land is
that what fertility the soil receives when
put into grass is retained on the farm, as a
smaller proportion of the hay crop is sold
than any other the farmer can grow.

prepared cold frame or a warm exposure
along the fence will answer for such early
sowing, continuing to SOW some at inter
walls until Nov. 10 if necessary. The seeds
are sown quite thickly in four to five inch
drills, the object being to secure plants TO
set out in October aud then on to January
BY regular watering and working and the
use OF the glass if weather is cold plants
can be ready in a few weeks. BY the
time the plants are ready-and this will be
as soon as they have attained three or four
leaves. though it is better to let them get
little larger, the soil should be made ready to
receive them. In garden culture the rows
are made fifteen inches apart, and the
plants set six inches apart in the rows. The
plants are set with a dibble, the bulb being
set Just under the surface. OF course any
variety can be used in this way, but pre-
fer the Italian varieties, from the fact that
they are milder and grow to a much larger
size under like conditions. Sets of these
varieties are too expensive any way. The
object of raising plants is to make the seed

This plan does not involve greater labor,
for it is more economical to set out a well
started plant in clean, fresh soil than TO thin
and clean out when sown where it is to stand
without transplanting. The plants can be
put out about as rapidly as the sets, and
few, if any, will fail to grow if the soil is
pressed firmly TO the roots. Fine onions
will result in May and June If the soil is
kept clean and is sufficiently rich.
