MAID MARIAN's DREAM.
1t Is Better to Trust i'm the Lord Than to
Put Confidence in Princes.
By Kate BrO,UnIee Sherwood.


She stood before her mirror combing her long
golden bair. And she saw that her eyes were like
the stars and her cheeks like twin roses and her
lips like the lush cherries that grew in the garden
row.
And she knew she was very fair and that for her
was the merriest place in the dance and that alI
men smiled as she passed. and looked after and
that the world was sweet sweet. and that some
time she would stand in the Queens Court and
that royalty would mood it's head at her coming
And a voice called her. Marian, and she said
"Tm coming mother" But she sat down to read
and forgot all about it, and by and by she was fast
asleep.
And Marian dreamed and she stood on a broad
highway and she heard the bug Ies sound and swirl
as thought n rider dashed by her on a white horse
and tie called - Make way. make way for the Lady
Marianln
And splendid eavalcsde rode up and there were
IL knights Ia armor. wits flashing helmets and
nodding piumes and gilded trappings on their
blood-red horses.
And after them, riding alone, came the LADY
Marian, and she was dressed all ia white with a
blue ribbon across her shoulders aud a star on her
forehead. And her face WAS very glad. for the
King had sent for her TO appear at the Court. and
after her came long line Of knights with their
shining helmets aud nodding plumes and gildsd
trappings on their blood-red horses
Deal Violently under her liusy gown and she
pinched her arm TO see il, indeed she were herself
for the Lady Marian even as she was when
she looked ia her mirror. with the long golden
hair aud eyes like stars and lips like the red cher
ries that grow in the garden row.
And again the bugles sounded and this time il
was within The castle walls, and the King came
down from his throne and Lady Marian fell al his
ieet- And he raised her up and put a ring on her
Ringer aud glttering caronet on her head and he
turned her face 10 the people.
AND the knights knet at her feet and the ladies
courtesied low, and the herald proclaimed Lady
Marian the welded wife Of the King. And there
was n great shout: "All hail. Queen Mariantn
And Maid Marian was jos,led about in the eres,
crowd snd fell down in a great swoon and was
carried from The hall and laid on the green knoll
in the outer court Of the Kings castle, and was
left there for dead.
And again the bugles sounded. and Maid Marian
eWoke from her sleep as Of death. and half raised
herself up and leaned on her elbow
And up the long steps leading from the Kings
castle TO the outer court. where she lay came the
u knights. and their helmets shone and their
piumes were nodding. but they walked with heavy
assps and slow.

Cereals, to thrive well, must have a warm.
dry soil in which to develop their roots. Even
clover, plant whose roots penetrate deep into
the soil, does not flourish on extremely wet
land. As a general thing, low land, upon
which crops are very uncertain, is seeded with
clover or timothy and used for pasture. While
the land can thus be made Of some value
farmers are coming to realize more and more
that low land, to produce cereal crops or to
grow grasses with profit, must be thoroughly
drained. In draining, an ultimate outlet for
the water is the thing of most Importance
After this is secured the problem of disposing
of surplus water becomes very simple By
thing, an entire farm, if sufficiently near to
the outlet, can be drained without having the
land cut up by large open bitches. However,
where the main outlet is too far distant g
large open ditch must be made through the
lowest part of the land to be drained, and into
which tiles may empty. The work of laying
tile is important, and in order that the drains
may be of value it must be done carefully and
Systematically. In all cases it will pay to have
the land surveyed and the drains laid out by
a competent engineer. Mains sufficiently large
to carry the water from the land on both sides
of them should be laid first Lateral drains
can then be added whenever and wherever it
is deemed necessary. On farms where drain
age is necessary, it is a good plan, after the
mains have been laid, to keep supply of tile
on hand. There are many wet spells during
the season which can be used to advantage in
putting down short branches of tile. Often
times, if the tile 10 in stock, the work will
be- done, while, if they have to be hauled
from the factory, it will be postponed. Since
l have drained land for growing clover, use
clover to indicate the spots needing drainage.
When find spot where the clover has been
lifted by the action of the frost, / mark it as 8
place needing tile The first Winter after the
clover is sown these places viii not show as
prominently as they will the second. When
have my land so well drained that the clover
crowns are found down close to the ground the
third Spring after sowing, / regard it in fine
condition for cropping. Many farmers look
upon draining as very hard manual labor. and
will not undertake it on that account When
the work is properly managed I do not so
regard it, and would prefer it to husking corn
out of the shock. On my farm the only posi-
Bile way to have all of field in the same con-
dition to cultivate is by tile drainage. The
farmer who has not had experience does not
know the satisfaction there is in working over
well-drained land as compared with undrained.

Some Practical Suggestions for Our AgrI-
cultural Readers.
Possibly the best policy for farmer to pur-
sue is to raise number OF pigs every year re-
CARELESS Of the price, so that he will have some
porkers on hand when they are dear. We can
not always tell when pigs are going to be high,
but with reasonable amount Of foresight We
can predict quite closely some things in the
future. With the accurate market reports and
telegraphic Communications from all parts Of
the country we can find out the approximate
number of hogs in the country, and can tell
whether the new crop is to be large In fact,
1T is quite essential for farmers to look ahead
in hog raising if large profits are to be made.
Many farmer has found himself without
hogs when prices were way up and with plenty
OF them on hand when quotations were low.
Inc few who happened to possess plenty of the
animals at the right time are called lucky.
Well, accident may have had something to do
with few Of them, but there were others who
had the pigs because everything seemed to
point toward high market.
In the Fall of the year pigs are very pIeuti-
Iui, and the market is generally overstocked.
Prices are never so low as then, and yet most
farmers insist upon raising their pigs so that
they will be ready for killing then. "Pig-kill-
Ing time comes around with many farmers
almost as rigidly as Christmas, and it seems al
most like heresy to kill the hogs before or after
this time. Nevertheless, the highest prices ara
offered IN the market just before and after tho
FalI months. August and February az a rule
are the two months when the highest prices are
PAID for pigs. The reason for this is simple.
very few hogs are ready for killing at that
time The old stock is nearly exhausted, and
II Is too early for the new to come in.
Now to breed pigs early so that they can be
marketed in NOvember-thst is, before cold
weather comes on-means generally an uphill
tight. To begin with, the prices are at the
lowest point of the year when they are sold,
and then the cost of raising them is greater
than If bred later in the Spring and prepared
for the Midwinter market. If the young pigs
are brought out late in Winter or very early in
the Spring, good, comfortable warm quarters
must be provided for them, which is, in some
instances, quite source Of worry and expense.
The young pigs are very susceptible to our cold,
wet, ehangeable weather, and they will need
constant care. When they get older they must
be fed on grain that has been carried all through
the Winter. Grain is consequently at its high
est figure. The cost of production is thus very
large and the chances of good prices compare
lively small
If the pigs are farrowed later in the Spring
they live with their dams until the new oats
are at hand, and with shorts and bran they can
be nourished well until the new corn is cut.
Pumpkins and clover should also be provided,
SO that food will be cheap all through the grow.

5. The Won.ea on Way to sepulchsr.


We do not know the number of the women.
Early Sunday morning they left jerusalem,
bearing spices. going to the tomb OF Christ. 1t
is clear they had no intelligent conception of a
possible resurrection on the third day. They
set out more fully to embalm the body OF Jesus
Of sudden it occurred to one that there would
be difficulty about gaining entrance to the
tomb. The enemies Of Christ seemed to have
had clearer idea of this contingency of the
resurrection than had the followers Of Christ.
Fear sees further than hope. One charge
brought against Jesus was his declaration to
the effect practically that he would rise again
the third day. They remembered that and
hence requested PLATE to make sure the sepui-
cher. The women knew that it was customary
to have huge stone rolled against the mouth
of the grotto. While discussing the possible
difficulty of ntering the sepulcbor they APP
preached nearer to the spot, when at length
they discovered the stone had been removed
and the entry to the sepulcher was open and
exposed Mary Magdalene was Immediately
filled with terrible apprehensions lest some
thing had happened to the body of Christ. She
turned right about, retraciug her way with
greatest haste to tell Sts Peter and John.
