A Look OF Home.

1t is good thing and n wise to be able,
with few books and little needlework,
to give any room, however strange and
desolate, look of home, TO be able to pur-
sue our usual omployments anywhere at q
moments notice, and blessing beyond
wealth, beyond beauty, or even beyond
talent, is that cheerful temperament which
can rejoice in the sunshine yet DO merry
in the shade, which can delight in the
singing Of the birds in spring, yet solace
itself with the hearts own music when
winter Is of hand.

vantage of meeting the needs of users,
though at the same time the price is
little, if anything, below that of the
imported plows.
The material used in these native
blows have to bear the same duty as
the finished implements, so that foreign
makers ought to be an excellent posi-
ton to cultivate a larger trade with the
Russian market.
In sewers, and some other nipple
ments, the business is almost entirely
in the hands of the Germans, who
manufacture them at a very low price
and sell them at Odessa at something
like 100 roubles apiece. This cheap
production is one of the secrets of Ger
man success in the continental mar
kets, and has enabled them to build up
a growing trade at the expense of their
competitors.
The United States is the almost ex-
elusive purveyOr or horse rakes, of
which about 1000 are sold during the
year. The price of a rake with az tines
is 70 roubles. In Russia, as in most of
the markets in Eastern Europe, the
business has to be done largely on
credit, and enough the seller has often
TO wait some time for his money, the
accounts are generally settled within a
reasonable delay.
The prospects of trade with Russia
this year may be considered encourag-
ing Ii view of the fact that the harvest
of the past 6 ason has been a very re-
munerative one. and has put the grow
ers in a position of satisfying their
needs for implements and machinery.

il destined, it is said, to become in time
the M of Europe" the wheat
growing industry is still fourishing
ono,,ob tn allow of a considerable ex
penditure upon mechanical appliances.
The conditions of the wheat trade
have. indeed. compelled growers to
take steps for increasing the yield and
getting it ready for the market at the
earliest possible moment, with the re-
sult that the primitive implements at
one time used in Southern Russia have
given place to the most modern and
efficient machinery.
The only thing now needed to place
Russia on a footing to hold its own
with other wheat growing countries
is a more thorough equipment of
railwys and other of trans
portatioD, and this is being provided
for the scheme of railway construction
which he's already been entered upon
and is to be vigorously proceeded with
during the next few years.
The machinery that is being used in
Southern Russia is mainly imported
from England, Germany, and America.
The trade in thrashing machines is al
most exclusively in the hands of Eng
lish makers, who enjoy the advantage
of special facilities for transport, as the
vessels which go to the Black Sea ports
for cargoes of wheat carry out machin-
cry at a very low freight. A consider
able number of threshing machine
have been sold during the past year,
and the prospects in this branch are
distinctly satisfactory.
In implements the trade done by
English firms is rapidly succumbiDg to
American and German competition.
Toe number of English plows imported
into Odessa during 1893 hardly
amounted to 500. Upon the other har d,
the United States is taking up a very
strong position in the Russian market,
and in 1898 an order was received for
1000 plows made upon the Russian
model at $3.50 per To-, f. Q. b. New

Special attention of local require

makers who do a large trade in what
are known as Bucker plowP, an nipple
ment with a single share for making
broad and shallow burrows. The Rus
sian cultivator rarely uses implements
for deep blowing, as he considers that
scratching the surface cuts down the
noxious weeds while deep furrowing
will merely turn them over and make
them grow thicker and faster. The
trade in foreign plows has lately been

made in the maLufacture of native i'm

PREPARING WOOL FOR MARKET

The experience of recent years has
shown c~onclusively that American wool
growers must pay more attention to
the manner in which their woods are
prepared for market. The increased
importation of foreign woods, in spite
of higher duties, was due in a measure
to the superior manner in which these
foreign woods are prepared for the in
spection of the buyer. With the duties
now entirely removed, the domestic
grower must inevitably improve his
method of preparing wool for market.
Keep out of the feeces all dung, locks,
loose tags, sticks and stuff from the
floor of the shearing pen. ALI of these
tags and refuse should be packed sep,
arately, as also the bucks feeces, ard
sold or their merits. If dung locks ad
here to wool they in sharing, either
clip them off and throw them away or
pack them separately. The grower
will get an immediate advantage in
price by taking this course as we'll as
by keeping out of his f9eces the refuse
of the shearing shed. Many growers
still fail to realize the injury to their
woods resulting from the use of sisal
Irvine. This sisal costs only 5 or 6 cts.
per pound, but it is weighed with wool
costing from 10 to 80 cts. per pound, so
that the manufacturer has not only to
make a reduction in price sufficient to
protect himself against less in weight,
but also to guard against the damage
to. the goods by the sisal fiber. This
unsuitable Irvine causes a loss all the
way from the fleece to the finished gar
ment, which must be sold at a lower
price because of the imperfectiOns
caused by the fbers of Irvine getting
into the cloth. American hemp Irvine
possesses many advantages for use in
tying feeces, and everything consid-
cred, cost, ETC., is, perhaps, to be pre-
ferred to any other. 1t has strength,
lightness and a glazed surface, while
its cost is very much in it's favor.
Growers are also cautioned against
using tar or paint in making Or brand
ing their sheep, as the paint and tai
locks must be clipped off and thrown
away before the wool can be used
Sulphur DIPS are also to be discouraged
ag they make the wool hard to scour
In preparing your woods for market
roll up the fleece without the use of 6
small quantity of light Irvine, and you
will take a very important step toward
, Improving the popularity of American
wools.-FGrmers' Voice.

Col. Henson seemea scarcely con-
ecious of her presence. He appeared
20 be silently sinking into the grave,
for the mental and physical suffering
he had endured. His daughters mar-
rage seemed 20 have been o final blow
that almost dethroned his reason.
just at this juncturea Hannah re-
ceiyed a letter from Mary, which she
brought to Sugy-IIoney TO read. Mary
asked for news Of her father, and said
they had been unable TO trace him; and
wound up by telling OF her baby hoy,
named for Col. Henson. a-t.. 81
This was great news to Sugy-Honey,
and she decided to write and ask her
young mistress to come home and
bring the baby. She had learned to
write little. and after many attempts
she evolved this letter:
DEERE MISS MARY: You is my miss mary

This letter reached Mary in her dis
tant home. Despite every effort, she
had heard nothing Of her father, and
feared he was dead. So even with this
sad news, it was with . lighter heart
she journeyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together they had many an anxious
discussion as to what was best to be
done.
"De doctor say it wouldn't do fer you
ter go ter see him. lie is so sot again

said on one of those occasions. But

All this aud much more he vowed
while life and death hung ia the pal
ance, and while, he and Sugy-honey
were winning the victory. 10

for bad news flies quickly. and the
baby's mother with open arms ana her
heart in her eyes, was in the room
hupging first the baby and then her
father, then laughing and crying,
talking and explaining all at once.

with upliftcd, streaming eyes, eX'
claimed:

Thus it was arranged, and the next
day when Sugy- Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless,
and finally asked where she was.
~ dun hired her out to nus, >"
answered Hannah. II taut she might
es well be maxim err little somethin' Sc
not"
Col Henson said no more, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been SO long accustomed.
AS he sat on the porch that evening, a
silent, disconsolate figure, he heard IL
jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be ugy-uoney and her
new charge.
The baby was lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy-
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
TO Col Henson, put his hands on the
coloners knees and chattcd necessarily
in his pretty, lisping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take
q little interest in farm matters; to in
quire of Jake how many of the old
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some ad-
vice as to their cultivation, Yet IL was
plain that his day began when Sugy-
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no idea
who the little one really was, for all
were afraid to tell him.
Thus the summer days passed
Hannah often reported progress TO
Mary who was cheered by her fa-
theirs Improvement, and yet depressed,
He had never yet mentioned her name.
Would she ever again see his eyes rest
upon her with the old fonduess? She
and her husband and Hannah thought
over all the possible and impossible
ways OF bringing about reeoncilia-
ton, but none of them could devise a
plan that appeared safe and feasible,
One day in early autumn Sugy.Ioney

The baby had 4 long weed with a

prancing to and fro III some WY the
weed caught on fire from the open
fireplace, and before anyone realized
chat danger was near, the little form
was partially enveloped In flames.
Sugy-Honey rushed TO the rescue,
for she was the first TO see the blaze,
and the colonel wrapped Fae saream
ing baby IN rug. Their hands and
arms were severely burned, but the
baby escaped miraculously. Though
all his pretty curls we're gone and his
outside clothing burned, yet the
WOODEN garment next his body was
scarcely scorched.
