Horticultural Hints.

A grape grower advises leaving fiva

pruning.
Supertluous branches should be cut
off for they take nourishment that
should 60 to the tree.
Give the tree salesman the go by,
Too often he is fraud. Order di-
rect from the nursery, and hold the
nursery responsible. We have often
given this advice.
Cabbage, if the crop is taken care
of, protecting it from worms, is a
profitable farm crop. 1t must be
kept clean and kerosene emulsion
will take care of the worms.
A practical berry grower says that
a quarter acre garden, well arrang-
ed, set to best varieties, and propecly
cared for, should yield at least
twenty-five bushels of berries. In
no other way can a farmer produce
so much of value, with SO little labor,
as in a garden OF small fruits.

Prehistoric Ruins of New Mexico.

Everywhere about the valleys of
New Mexico, invariably upon emf
nences, and usually upon high, flat
topped mesaS or table hills are the
ruins of houses Of the ancient semi
civilized Indian population that lived
here and titled the soil before the
coming of the Spaniards, four CEN
turtles ago. The numbers of this old
population can be only vaguely in
ferred by the numerous cobblestone
foundations of their houses, still
well defined above the surface of the
ground, and by the debris of the
fallen walls which constitute hillocks,
grass-grown and intermixed with
occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments of pottery.
This pottery when turned up by the
spade is found to be handsome and
varied in color and as fresh of tint as
it could have been when the village
was destroyed or abandoned and
every tradition of its existence lost
in prehistoric past.

As the German officer stammered
out these last words, young GIrl en-
tered the room hurriedly, like u child
that has been running, and stopped
short, blushing and dismayed by this
unexpected presence. COmte Mont
rozay approached her smiling always,
that slight, imperturbabIe smile.

"Otho Immerman,' returned the

Three days later Ohio was still un
able to believe in his happiness The
comte, with the smiling courtesy of a
good humored host had offered
hospitality.
Consider yourself in your own

gen,ally: 'Before two weeks have
gone you will be my brother, as well,
and this chateau, should tell you,

word, however, not word to her of
what is past. l command it.
AS for Brigitte, she smiled, too, and
when the comte had shut himself in
his library-his custom every evening
she had remained alone with Ohio at
the window in the soft half-light of
the fading day, listening, responding,

All, but she was pretty and charm

He had forgotten everything. No. it
was not true that he had forced those
doors and windows and entered one
night, all bloody and besotted, into
that peaceful dwelling and carried
away in his arms that swooning girl!
1t was lie, a hideous dream
He was betrothed as other young
men were betrothed, and he
loved her. this beautiful French
girl who was soon to be his wife, and
the lightest touch of whose little
finger filed him with tremulous &c.

He talked to her and told her all

cemeteries in order to gather from the
tombs the eternal flowers of death to
guard against human forgetfulness.
He read and sung to her from the
poets of his country, and she listened
dreamily and sadly and the hours that
brought nearer and nearer the longed-
for wedding day passed for both of
them, apparently in mutual BIOS
soming of tenderness.
At last it came, that wedding night,
and the marriage at the Marie was
over; also the brief ceremony that fol-
lowed it at the church, and Brigitte de
Montrozay had become Nine. Inner

Otho his heart throbbing with joy,
was hurrying to the nuptial chamber,
when suddenly on the staircase above
him a lamp flashed out, figure
stepped from the shadow and u hard
voice cried harshly;
"Where are you going sir?"
1t was the comte de Montrozay.
Ohio looked at him smilingly.
"Where?" he repeated, "to the
chamber of my wife, Of course, mon
sieur."
'No, sir, not yet" comte de Mont
rozay returned coldly, you have first

my friend, is not debt paid"
And he struck Ohio a blow full in
the face.
At daybreal there was duel behind
the chateau and Ohio FELL ball in his

There was none to ask questions

Facts for Drivers,

The Humane Circular says that
experiments show that One-third 80
twothirds more power is required to
draw given load through mud or
BAND than on a smooth, hard road.
That slight raise in the grade re-
quires larger increase Of power and
raise of one foot in ten doubles the
draft.
That a little rain softening the
surface adds nearly twenty per cent
to the power required.
In all these cases policy and hui
manity demand smaller loads and
frequent short rests.
Dry axles add double, sometimes
treble to the labor of q team. Nothing
pays better than frequently oiling
wagon aXles.
The power and longevity of the
horse are in exact ratio to the intelli-
gent care and feeding he receives.
He can draw on his fixed stock of vi
tality to supply deficiency Of food or
to do overwork, but it shortens his
life and reduces his value. That
horses have been worked to death in
one day shows how rapidly overwork
draws Oh their vital power. As hea t
depends on food, all clipped horses,
and those not warmly stabbed aud
well blanketed, require much extra
food, without which they wear out
fast. Therefore overwork, under
feeding and neglect are all costly and
wasteful.
Overlooking is costly and cruel,
and has ruined thousands OF horses.
No load should be too heavy to haul
easily over the hardest place on the
trip. Steady hard pulling causes
great pain, so give your team FIRE,
quent rests, especially during the
early part 9th trip.
Ownership has limitations and be.
slows no right to mutilate, abuse or
neglect any animal. Our laws recog.
nize the rights Of domestic animals
and protect them.
The whip inficts great pain anG
worry, and helps immensely to wear
out horse. The best horsemen Of
our time condemn its use. and be-
lieye that much more is lost thar
gained by it. If all drivers were
struck each time they strike horse,
whips would soon disappear. The
necessity" for them would cease.
To know how a horse feels, learn
how you would feel in the same con
dition Man and horse are wonder
fully alike. Whatever distresses one
would distre - the other. God de
signed them to be the best of friends
and to abuse horse is mean anl
cowardly to the last degree.

Hints and HouSeho old Helps.
Turnips as Second Crop.

Land from which crops are har-
vested early in the summer should
not be allowed 20 60 idle, and there
is no second crop SO valuable to
grow On it as turnips. Even
fair success can be had when the
turnip seed are sown in the corn field
whAu it is worked through the last
time. The roots may not get large
enough to sell in the market, but
they will be of great value as feed
for cattle and sheep, and also for
homo use. One CT the best fall pas
lures for sheep. hogs and cattle is
corn field, from which the corn has
been gathered, and where young tur-
nips are growing. The animals find
great nourishment for month or
more in such turnip patch. They
will eat both corn stalks and turniPs
as the mood seiZes them. After they
nave finished the field the roots left
N the ground can be taken up some
mild day in the fall and stored for
winter use, but sheep and hogs as a
rule will root down and eat the vary
ends of the roots
The early flat varieties OF turnips
are profitable even when they sell
for only twenty-five cents per bushel,
and this price can be obtained for
them st nearly any season of the
year. They more often bring thirty
or forty cents per bushel, so that the
labor is well paid. The rutabagas,
or SweGes, cannot be grown so sue
cessfully as second crop, unless
planted very early in the season, as
they require considerable time to
ripen before freezing weather They
are in more demand, however, and
bring fifty cents per bushel when tbs
fiat turnips sell for half that One
thing about turnip5 is that if there is
no profitable market for them they
will always repay one for growing
them as food for cattle.
The expense of growing the crop
is small, according to the American
| CultivatOr. The seed is cheap, and
the land used would otherwise re-
main idle for the rest of the season.
Hence all tax or interest on the land
is not included in the original eX
penses. The land is already soft
| and mellow from the cultivation of
the previous crop, and 1t only needs
surface blowing and narrowing. A
few hundred pounds of bone dust
should be spread over the land at
this blowing, and when the land is
mellow and smooth enough for the
seed the work is nearly complete.
Mark the land off, and SOW by hand.
or use q garden drill and planter
that will drop the seeds carefully il
rows, using less than 4 pound of soes
to the acre.
This is the most economical way,
although some prefer to scatter the
seed broadcast, especially when it is
to be used for pasturing cattle
When the seed is used in the corn
field this broadcast sowing is prob
ably better. The turnips should be
cultivated as any other garden vege-
table, thinning out to six or eight
inches IN the row The harvesting
must take place before severe freeze
in the fall can irjure the PLANS.
