49, OAAS~AAA OuSO, anu WHEN
Gwendoline and Guy parted on the
verandah, the night our story
opens, Guy realized that his heart
was going out to Gwendoline far
too much for his own happiness.
He felt that he was bound to one
woman, while another was filling
his whole heart.
When Gwendoline reached her
room, she found her mother still
awake.
"Daughter, where have you
been?" she asked in tones more
worried than usual.
"Only on the lawn with Mr..
Brandon, mamma"
Mrs. Winston raised herself in
bed. "Gwen, this must be stopped.
Do you notssee that you are break
ing Edith's heart? Daughter, you
mean no harm, but you must see
that Guy is becoming more deeply
in love with you every day. You
cannot marry him, why do you
thus wilfully separate two young
people who have known and loved
each other for years, simply to
crafty your love of conquest? Oh!
Gwen, Gwen, you may live to re-
greet it! Stopit now-at once, be-
fore it is too late!"
Gwendoline had never seen her
mother so moved. She could
scarcely articulate, SO great was
her emotion. Her eyes were wild
and haggard. Occasionally she
would bury her face in her hands
and cry, choking sobs would con-
vulse her frame.
Gwendoline was by her side in
moment.
mamma darling, what is it
troubles you SO? | never saw you
so moved Only tell me what it is
and | will stop anything, do any
thing, go anywhere. Oh! what is
it?" she cried wildly as her mother
continued to sob, and moan.
Mrs. Winston was silent a long
time, and when she at last looked
up, her face was calm, though white
and rigid.
'Gwendoline there is a part of
my life | have never told you of, a
time so full of misery, that the mere
thought of it, brings the most ex-
quisite torture. | had hoped never
to tell you, but I think it best now
to acquaint you with it, as it may
possibly save you like bitter ex-
perience. Bring your chair and
sit close to me, that | may hold
your hand, while tell you the
saddest story your young ears ever
heard"
Taking a stimulating draught
from the table, Mrs. Winston be-
gan.
When l was quite young, about
your age | think, | went with my
father to visit my mothers BROTHER,
who lived in the mountains Of
Vermont I was to spend the
summer, and in October act as
bridesmaid to my uncle's only
daughter Lily | was always
passionately fond of the mountains

Celery, to be good, has to be perfect
" blanched, and the blanching process
is accomplished generally by heaping
the earth around the stalks. For this
reason, according to Meehan' IS Monthly,
the short bunchy varieties Of celery are
more advantageous than the taller grow
ing kinds. as requiring less labor in
earthing up. It is chiefly for this reason
that the thick dwarf kinds are in favor
with American gardeners, as requiring
less labor to produce. Some of these,
however, are not nearly as toothsome as
the taller varieties, and the efforts of
the improver should be toward produc-
ing sweet nutty favored varieties of the
dwarfer kinds.

"Oh, well, perhaps Lima was mistaken
but she said that she went down town
with him today just after he left here anu Az

"InferredP Then you don't really know
anything that happened?'
fOf course not. By the way, think

tell you myself rather than let that horrid
thing find it out"
"That was what thought" calmly re-
piled the girl who had just run in for a
moment, as she removed her hat and
gloves.
"Well-now, you mustn't tell Lima
word of this-Tom was very anxious to
taste some of the dishes had learned to

"Oh, I cooked beefsteak-Tom says
that with good bread, butter and beefsteak

"osuits Of Experiments Conducted For Sew
-A ears at Tho New Hampshire Station.
" d. Whitcher, in report on ma
lures and artificial fertilizers, gives
summary OF results obtained while the
new Hampshire station was located at
nan over, with the addition of data Sc
cured at Durham. Subjects reported on
are spring and fall applications OF barn
yaro manure; how to apply manure;
now much manure to use; substitutes
ior parnyard manure; relative efficiency
ol chemicals and barnyard manure;
comparison of manufacturing fertlh-
zers, chemicals and others and directions
Ior mixing and using fertilizers. From
the result of all experiments the follow
ing conclusions are drawn:
Manure applied in the fall to the sur
race, either Of plowed or grass land,
Will, by the action of frost and rain, be-
come so thoroughly pulverized and dis
trlouted through the soil that 1t acts
more quickly and is in better condition
for plants to assimilate than the same
manure would be if applied in the
spring. The loss from evaporation and
drainage (unless the surface is very
Steep will probably be much less than
the loss resulting from fermentation If
the manure is allowed to accumulate
in cellars or the washing if left in open
yards.
On most soils and for most crops sur
face application is better than blowing
in, and especially if manure is applied
in the fall, but in any case, except fol
manure that is SO coarse that it cannot
be mixed with the soil by cultivation,
it is safe rule to keep the manure as
near the surface as possible and to have
it as thoroughly mixed with the seed
bed as can be done. This carries with
it the necessity of using only such bed
ding and absorbents as are Of themselves
fine or easily pulyerized.
For our common field crops-corn,
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc.-it is
not profitable to use more than from Is
to 90 carloads g to cords) of manure
per acre.
On an average, on New Hampshire
soils and with general crops, 81 invest
ed in the best prepared fertilizers has
given an increase of crop valued at
So. "a, while 81 invested in the chem
icals dissolved comeback, muriate of
potash, and sulphate Of ammonia) has
given an increase valued at So. Sc,
difference of $1.22 in favor Of, and due
entirely to, the substitution Of chemic-
ais for prepared fertilizers at equal cost.
This difference is due chiefly to the
wrong proportions Of plant food in the
prepared fertilizers, and more to the de-
ficiency of potash than any other cause.
Prepared fertilizer used gave: Phos-
phoric acid, 10 per cent; potash, 8 per
cent; nitrogen, per cent.
While the chemicals that gave the
best results contained: Phosphoric acid,
SO per cent; potash, IA. 8 per cent; nj
trogen, "a per cent.
Chemicals properly mixed and used
can and do give as good returns as barn
yard manure and oftentimes better, and
this in six years rotation. Leached
ashes gave better results per dollar in
vested than whole ashes.

A Familv Bereavement.

An industrious rustic went into his sta
BILE one spring morning and discovered his
faithful mule in the agonies of death, he
having overfed himself the night previous
'Here' a state Of things" exclaimed the
disguised peasant. "All winter long you
do nothing but feed and feed at my ex-
pense, and when spring comes, and 1T is
time to do little blowing, you get out of
it by giving up the ghost.
The dying mule raised his head and said
in feeble voice:
''Sinoe you are such an ass you should
regard my death as family bereavement, J"

Bottlinp Cider.

Cider may be bottled after the vinous
fermentation is ended, but preferably
after six or eight weeks ripening of the
liquor. 1t may be bottled as "still'' or
Sparkling" cider. In the former case
it is "pasteurized. The cider is first
filtered through flannel, then bottled
and placed in vessel of water, which is
heated to not less than 140 degrees nor
more than 100 degrees, kept SO about Is
minutes, then allowed gradually to cool
and the bottles laid away on their sides.
For sparkling cider there is added rock
candy OR refined sugar-four ounces per
gallon-to cider not pasteurized, but suf-
ficiently ripened. After corking and
wiring it should be placed in a cellar
Of cool, even temperature.

Feeding Sorghum.

No one seems to know what the prin-
ciplei is IN green second growth sorghum
that in a very few minutes kills cattle
eating it. 1t is for practical purposes
sufficient to know that it does kill in
many instances, yet in others it has no
visibly bad effect. The same applies to
green second growth Kaffir corn, which
is a nonsaccharine sorghum, but when
either is cured there is no more danger
in it than in any other fodder Or hay.
Kaffir corn is a very popular crop for both
grain and forage among those who know
it best.-Prairie Farmer.
