their head is that chap who recognized
me as 1 descended the stairs with Mrs
Cotter."
They're well mounted, Of course, re-
turned Perry, regarding the approach
Ing horsemen WITH critical eye. "But
they'll not find Us 50 easy o prey as they
imagine"
No one could hope, OF course, that the
carriage could distance the leet-footed
horses Of the pursuers, but the prairie
presented welldefned descent as far
as the eye could reach, and Perry knew
that the chase would not end with the
first mile or the second. He felt, too,
that he could sell his life dearly with
the aid Of the three rifles which lay in
the carriage behind him.
sPass them up here, please" he said,
with q gesture to Mrs Cotter, while
Baker gave all his attention to getting
the carriage under full headway, "and
have no fear. The form Of Gaddler is
between US and his people, and they'll
take good care not to send too many
bullets in this direction until they are
near Us
At what wild gallop the horses we're
now going, with the favor Of their down
grade, can be imagined
aOf course we are handicapped"
growled Baker, after another glance at
the pursoers, Sbut their horses are no
fresher than oura"
The situation was now as clearly de-
fined as anything could be, the carriage
flying with all the speed Of which the
FIVE horses attached 10 it we're capable,
even under the spur Of their wild excite
ment, and the pursuers rending the air
with their cries as they came on like
laundering tempest
They're gaining,' at length an
nounced Elfe, when there could be no
longer any doubt Of the fact @but not
very rapidly"
Nodding assent Perry hooked to his
rife, while Baker piled his whip with
renewed vigor, at tie same time en-
couraging his horses with his voice In
such way ss to bring out their best
gait
Onward! Onward!
A mile had already been treversed at
this break-neck speed and the main
group of the pursuers had gained scarce
" ten rods upon the fugitives, although,
d like Perry and Baker they were getting
all they could out Of their horses.
But there were two Of them who had
taken the advance considerably Of their
fellows-the tall, formidable rufian with
whom Baker had dealt 80 promptly and
wiry little half-breed
Nearer and nearer. came the couple,
as the wild fight was continued, and at
length they proceeded to get their rifles
in readiness for action.
sThey mean mischief recognized
Perry, facing around on his seat, which
was of course elevated above the body Of
the vehicle. ut will be luck, however,
rather than skill If any harm is done on
either side until they are nearer or our
pace is moderated"
a shot came from the half-breed at
this moment, whistling near the fugi-
tives, but its only effect was to quicken
the speed Of the horses.
aI'll give them q response" cried
Perry.
The report Of his rife succeeded and
cry Of Joy escaped him. Fortune had
favored him. and the tall, formidable
pursuer in the lead, who was evidently
the head of the whole gang, hal tumbled
from his saddle.
"Goodl" muttered Baker. "We have
made a beginning"

DEEP FLOWING.

In horticulture as well as agricul-
ture there has always been difference
of opinion, says Meehan's Monthly, as
to the value of stirring the soil deep.
The discussion is another illustration
of the point often made, that differ
ences of opinion frequently come from
not understanding what each side OF
the disputation means If We have
six inches of rich surface soil and
plow twelve inches deep, supposing
that could be done, all this rich sur
face soil is thrown to the bottom and
the poor soil brought to the top. This
would undoubtedly be an evil, as
plant food is always in the best con-
dition for assimilation by the plant
when it is near the surface, so that
oxygen can act on it.
To bury the food out of the reach
of oxygen is literally to starve the
plant. But deep soil is certainly an
immense advantage to any plant,
whether grown by farmer or gardener.
What is known as subsoiling, that is
loosening of the subsoil, while still re-
tanning it as subsoil, leaving the up
per surface where it was originally,
near the surface, is one of the very
best practices in either farming or
gardening. If the question should be
stated, is it right to bury good sur
face soil below the surface? there
would only be a negative side to it.

old fashioned curling.iron. The hair
must no longer be crimped, but must
be laid over the head in large.
natural-looking waves. The entire
secret lies in the fact that the iron is
no longer applied to the tip of the
tress of hair and the hair wound over
it, but the tress of hair itself is wound
around the iron, beginning as near
the scalp as it is comfortable to hold
the heated iron. The Illustration
shows better than words exactly how
this is done.
The parting of the hair, which,
proves so unpopular when it was first
introduced, has been accepted chiefly
by those persons of a Madonna TYPE
of face. for they can bear this severe|
style of hair dressing. The delicateI
fringe of curls which so many maidens|
still continue to wear is too becoming|
to the majority of American girls to
be driven out of fashion" ;"

his own experience in the Stockman

his own experience in the Stockman
and Farmer, says:
As soon as the milk is drawn from
the COWS the cream is separated from
it with O hand-separator. The
capacity of this machine should be
about thirty-fve gallons of milk per
hour. We have it regulated 30 that
it will take about one gallon of cream
from every seven gallons of milk. AS
soon as the cream is separated from
milk the can containing it is set in q
tank of cold water, where it is kept at
low temperature until we have
enough Of cream for a churning, when
all is ripened together. At this sea-
son of the year Wa churn the cream
from three days milk at each churn-
ing.
To ripen cream we beat it up to
seventy degrees and add about one
half pint of starter (sour skim milky
to each gallon of cream then set it In
room where the temperature is
about seventy degrees, and in about
twenty-four hours the cream will have
acquired the necessary acidity to be
in condition to churn.
We churn with barrel churn, in
which the churning is done by con-
cussion. The cream is churned at q
temperature of about sixty-six de-
grees in winter and about sixty-two
in summer. The use Of the ther-
mometer is very important in the
management of cream. As soon IS
the butter forms in small granules
about the size of wheat grains the
churn is stopped, and after standing
few seconds the buttermilk is drawn
off, then enough cold water is added
to float the butter; then the churn is
closed again and given two or three
revolutions and this water is drawn
off; then more water is added, and
the operation is repeated until the
water contains no trace Of milk.
After standing a few minutes to
drain the butter is removed from the
churn and weighed, and then spread
upon the butter worker. For each
pound of butter three-fourths OF an
ounce of salt is distributed over it
with fine sieve. This salt is then
thoroughly mixed through the butter,
then it is let stand about one hour for
the salt to dissolve, and then thor
oughly worked over again in order to
remove all the brine. It is now ready
to make into rolls. All our butter is
sold to private customers, and we put
it up in rolls of two, three, four and
five pounds each. When ready to
transport to market each roll is
wrapped in parchment paper, and
over this sheet OF manila wrapping
paper.

SHEEP FOR THE BEGINNER.

It is easy to muddle the novice with
variety of advice, and to get away
from the possibility of doing that !
wish, writes Professor J. a. Craig, to
offer the following hints as the most
valuable and concise that occur to me
First-Study your farm conditions
and learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it. Second-If you are not
able to purchase even small flock of
pure breed or high grade sheep, then
put all you can advantageously in q
pure bred ram and after that do the
best you can in buying ewes. Start
right, even if upon a small scale. The
sheep will rapidly increase. Third
In purchasing ram get one fully de-
veloped, strong in bone, straight
shaped, and thoroughly typical of his
breed and sex. I have always had an
intuitive liking for the lamb that will
leave q group of his fellows in the field
and boldly front you. Fourth-Do
not purchase sheep that you have to
trust in for proper development. It
is only the experienced breeder who
csn forecast development. Fifth
Never take an ill-doing sheep, even if
it is cheap, with the expectation that
it will become right. Sixth-In select
ing sheep, If possible handle them so
that you may know how much of their
form is due to themselves and how
much to the shears. Seventh-Select
as critically as you can to a chosen
type. Uniformity is cheap feature
for you to buy and yet valuable one
in flock. Eighth-There is no sheep
that embodies perfection in sheep
qualities. Judging between different
sheep is o checking of weakness and a
balancing of qualities. Be inclined
toward the sheep that appears to be
better every time it catches your eye.
Ninth-The purchaser will find it to
his interests to select from the field
sheep and thereby shun those that
have been fitted for show. Tenth
The b-st time to buy is usually in the
fall. Provision may be made with the
seller to have tho ewes served by a ram
of different breeding from the one you
buy and thereby you add arother sea-
sons use to the ram of your flock. -

TIE QUANTITY OF SEED WHEAT PER ACRE

THE QUANTITY OF SEED WHEAT PER ACRE.
TIE usual quantity OF seed wheat
used is five or six pecks per acre when
sown broadcast. II drill is used, one
bushel is quite sufficient on good,
we'll prepared land, as then the plants
will tiller numerously, and make large
stools, having ten or more stems. It
is this thickening of the stand that
gives the large yield for the small
seed, and it goes on most successfully
on good land. Otherwise the plants
have not strength to thicken in this
way, and the stand will be thin unless
more seed is sown. This is the reason
why the best farmers use only four
pecks, against six used by others,
whose land is not rich enough to cause
the plants to make so many shoots. 1t
is very desirable to examine the seed
very carefully for weed seeds. Some
of the most successful wheat growers
do this by hand, going over the whole
of the seed and picking out the weeds.
1t is scarcely possible to avoid sowing
some weeds unless this careful exam
ination is made. New York Times.

SHIPPING LIVE POULTRY.

Poultry raisers would find that they
could realize considerably more from
their live birds if they would use o
little thought and discretion in the
way of shipping them. Coors should
not be overcrowded and should be suf-
ficiently strong to stand the journey
without coming apart. Hens and
roosters should be kept separate if the
highest prices are sought.
Another roint is that Monday is a
poor day to sell poultry, as house
keepers depend largely upon the relics
of the Sunday feast; besides, it is
wash day, so that the cooking is re-
duced to minimum. Hence Monday
is bad day for shipment of poultry
to arrive on the market. Shipments
should be so timed IS to reach the
market from Tuesday to Friday, when
enough will have accumulated to sup
ply Saturdays demand.-New York
