These wonderful letters Frank Grey
read as in dream.

that seedy old fellow have wrought the

The union depot at Buffalo is big
rambling building, which when
thronged with hundreds of bustling
people pouring forth from trains from
every point of the compass, presents a
broad field for the search of an I'M
known person.
Grey took in the absurdity of his po-
sition for the first time. How could he
recognize Mrs. Woodgrove? Well, he
would hunt for genteel old lady in
faded black, who, like her husband,
bore the sad insignia of decayed pros
perity, but he searched in vain.
Suddenly he came face to face with
an elderly gentlewoman, richly dressed
in sealskins and silks. A sweet, gem
tie face, crowned with braided gray
hair, looked pleasantly up into his and
a well gloved hand was stretched forth
toward him.

Much attention is being directed tn
this clover by agricultural papers. It

the Mississippi. both as a forage plant
and a honey source. Many claim its
merits excel those of any other hay
crop. If we can number this among
our honey plants we may be enabled tn

vest. Should this plant prove to be
adapted to our soil and climate as it is
to that of some parts of the east, we
have noticed. il will receive as hearty a
welcome as alfalfa, we feel sure.
Alsike. medium red clover and all the
clover commonly used in farming are

LIGHT, AIRY STABLES.
Effect Upon the Health and Spirits of the
Occupants.

Effect Upon the Health and Spirits OF the
Occupants.
Intelligent dairy farmers know that
t is possible to have a stable light and
well ventilated. and at the same time SD
warm that water will not freeze in it
during the coolest weather. Plenty
of windows are needed. and it is well to
W hiewash the whole interior at least
once year.
To accomplish this at the least ex-
pense of time. make whole barrel of
v,hitewash and apply it very thick with
. broom. Begin by sweeping the sides,
partitions and ceiling. Where the sur
face is uneven a force pump with
spray nozzle is excellent for applying
the whitewash. The whitewash must
lie rubbed through a sieve to remove
the Jumps or they will clog the valves
Uf the pump. Keep the windows from
being splashed by lacking old bags or
blankets over them. Lime is purifying
and deodorizing,an makes it easier to
keep the stable clean and in order.
Another reason for providing abun-
Gant light is 10 promote the health and
vitality of animals. \ cow in a winter
dairy is like a person engaged in Sc
dcntary employment. She cannot re-
ceive the stimuiant to her vitality that
Il horse, for instance. gets from labor
in the sunshine. y COW cannot do her
best unless she IS made comfortable in
Il light and cheerful stable.-N. Y.

glad to see you; come straight to my
carriage; give your cheoFs to the
coachman, and he will attend to your
baggage"
Cinderella riding in her pumpkin
carriage behind her rat horses was not
in such a whirl of establishment as
Grey when he found himself bowling
along behind a pair of housekeeping
bays up the finest avenue of Buffalo.
And what a home, 4 fine stone-front
mansion standing in spacious grounds
with all the luxurious surroundings
that wealth could accomplish.
Now" said this gracious lady, when
they were indoors, Il want you really
to feel that you have come home"
You are too kind" The poor, friend
less fellow could not keep back the
tear from his eye.

continued, and you were so good to

ever had. He says again and again
that if it had not been for you he would
have died. OH she added, earnestly.

you saved"
Really, my dear lady, you ezagger-
ate my services" Grey demonstrated,
feeling really uncomfortable at the
warmth of her gratitude. 4 would
have done for anyone else what"
oh, yes; l know You would. That
is just it. Now, tell me, are your
parents liviag?"
No; they are dead"
Your relations?"

have ever acknowledged me. and, as
they are rich and I am poor, suppose
may say that am quite alone in the
world"
The old story" she sighed.

then drifted west.
And none to love you?"
No relation"
All, I understanding, do not
blush, though the color is very becom-
ing to your cheeks. Now, Mr.. Grey, l
wanted TO ask favor of YOU"
BE assured II will be granted"
Il want you to try hard to love me
Just one little bit"
No need to try, dear Mrs Wood
grove; no one could be in the same
house with you and not love you"
That is very prettily spoken, Mr..
Grey, so will reward your gallantrv
by dismissing you to your own chamber
till we meet at lunch"
The first thing Grey did when he
found himself in the solitude of his
room was to write long letter TO Jack
Wilders, pleasure he had denied him
self during his long disappointnents in
Chicago-fOr now with a clear con-
science he could beg the honest pros
pectOr to tell him all the news of Ore
town.
Little did he think that while he was
basking in the sun of prosperity. the
cold clouds of trouble were hanging
over the head of the girl he loved
dearer than life itself.

Some OF the Reasons of Their Great Pop
ularity Abroad.
This variety of fowl has existed Prac~
tically unchanged for over two thou
sand years. and is still the most popular
breed in England, where even the most
mOngrel specimens of fowl generally
exhibit some traces of DOrking blood
and characteristics. In this country
they are but little known. as they do
not thrive well here, and the chicks are
delicate and difficult to rear. This may
be partly owing to ignorance of their
habits and Peculiarities and partly
owing to the fact that they have been
closely inbred, owing to the trouble
and expense of procuring fresh blood
from abroad.
The secret of the popularity of the
Dorking is her merits as a table fowl,
The meat is very tender, juicy, of fine
flavor and grain, while the breadth,
depth, fullness and plumpness of the
breast make the birds uncqualed as
producers of breast meat. The pecul-
lar build and characteristics of the
breed have called forth the remark

most notable of which are the terrace
and the marble arch, at the southern
approach TO the Mall. Perhaps the most
notable object in Central park is the
obelisk, which was presented to the
city of New York, in 1877, by Ismail
Pasha, then khedive of Egypt. 1t is
covered with hieroglyphic inscrip-
tons that refer to events that happened
5000 years ago. To protect it from New
York winters, which last year killed the
rhinoceros in the menagerie, it has been
covered with a chemical preparation.
1 wish 1 could write in unqualified
praise of the statues and monuments,
but some of them are so inartistic as TO
border on the grotesque. The bronze
figures of Walter Scott, Burns, FitZ-
Green Halleck and others are more or
less embarrassed. so to speak, with
what appear 70 be large table cloths.
Poor Bobby" Burns has been treat
ed with particular harshness. He is
in position suggestive of a severe at
tack of collie, and the pose of his arms
indicates that of trying 10 drink ont of
an imaginary demlJohn. Inc expression
of his face not only shows that he is
intoxicated, but that he is aware of his
unfortunate condition.
On the other hand there is noble
figure OF Shakespeare that conveys an
adequate idea of that wonderful genius.
An ideal figure of an Indian hunter is
likewise a magnificent work of art.
Among the great men whose figures in
bronze or marble have been given space
in the park are Nlazinni, Morse, Alexan-
der Hamilton, Humboldt, Schiller,
Moore, Farragut and Columbus.
In no other park in the world can our
American aristocracy be studied to
such an advantage as in Central park

Feed boxes for Hor.es.

\ great many horses form habit of
SOLDERING their feed around. Some
will root ii out or take a large mouth
full and then look around, thus wasting
considerable. The most effective meth
cd we have tried is TO nail boards up
both sides and the front end of the box.
Board it clear up, high enough to keep
the horse from getting its head over.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SHOEING THE HORSES.
much Lameness Is Caused by Imprope
Performance of This Work.

much Lameness Is Caused by Improper
Performance of This Work.
In doing farm work it is not usually
necessary to keep the horses shod, but
on the road it becomes essential. Some
horses have much tenderer feet than
others and cannot DE driven ON rock
road even a short distance without be-
coming lame. But much lameness is
caused by improper shooting. Unless in
special cases it is of no advantage TO
have large. heavy shoes. Generally
shoes cannot be too light if they give
sufficient wear. Large, heavy shoes tire
an animal unnecessarily, so that the
width of a shoe need be no more than is
necessary to cover the bearing surface.
More than this is adding to the weight
unnecessarily. All shoes should have
level bearing on the foot, extending
from the toe to the heel. Carelessness
in this respect is frequent cause of
lameness.
In preparing the foot for the shoe
only so much of the horn should be re-
moved at each shoeing as is necessary
for the proper fitting of the shoe.
Cutting away or burning the hoof
unnecessarily is a positive injury and
should never be allowed.
The frog should take bearing on the
ground, but no other part of the hoof
should be weakened to give this healthy
action. While quite a number of differ
ent plans have been devised for fasten-
ing the shoe to the foot, nails are the
most secure and simplest fastenings for
horse-shoeing. and a properly driven
nail never does any harm. The most
important requisite in hOrseshOeing Is
the adoption of II correct system rather
than the use of any special form of
shoe. 1t is not Il good plan TO try eN-
periments; have a good system and
carry it out.
The ground surface of Il shoe should
follow the form of the ground surface
of an unshOd foot, which has travelled
on a level road. For everyday use
soH the average horse no better form of
shoe exists than a narrow one. made
thicker at the quarters than at the heel
and toe. 1t is a mistake too often
made to- permit shoe to remain on too
long. Ordinarily no advantage follows
the retention of shoes on the feet for
more than four weeks. as the growth of
the horn in that time produces dis
proportionate hOof.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

is asserted by the police that nine,
tenths of the burglaries and fiat robber.
les are planned in Central park. In nc
branch of human industry is an elabor-
ate campaign plan so Indispensable.
Here it is that solemn-faced men, with
caps pulled down over their beetle
brows, concoct schemes by which to de-
prive the industrious and law-abidinS
citizen of his hard-earned gains. Here
the professional criminals find that pri.
vacy so essential TO all business enter
prises and which is so difficult to obtain
in the busy haunts of men. While appar-
emily listening with rapture to the bass
of the festive bullfrog, and the tenor OF
the gay mosquito, they are Matching
out devilish schemes to rob their re-
spectacle brother, who acquires his
wealth in an honorable and legitimate
manner, possibly in politics, or on Wall
street.
Central park has also become pop
ular resort with persons of a suicidal
tendency, which is certainly much more
commendable than the mania which
prevailed at one time of utilizing the ele-
waited railroad track for shuffling of
the mortal coil. Not all of the Central
park suicides are as considerate as they
might be, for, not long ago, a stranger
from Philadelphia deliberately drowned
himself in the distributing reservoir.
Central park is the glory and pride of
New York. Upwards of two miles and
a half long, with half mile in width, it
presents in every direction magnificent
panoramas of landscape of KALEIDOSCOPE
ic variety. The northern end of the
park, in which is situated an historic
stone block house, a relic of the revo-
luton, surrounded by breastworks
erected by Washington, is particularly
picturesque and interesting. Here IL
was that during the revolution the con.
tinentals thoroughly thrashed King
Georges highlanders at the battle OF
Harlem Heights. Here, too, can be
obtained a magnificent view of the dis
tant palisades and the lordly Hudson.

that the necessity of having park de-
serving of the name was discussed in
social, political, scientific and art
circles.
In Nay. 1856. the common council APP
pointed the mayor and street commits
sioner commissioners of the Central
park, with ample powers. The officers
invited Washington Irving, George Ban
croft, James +. Cooley, Charles +
Briggs, James Phalan, Charles y. Dana
and Stewart Brown to attend their
meetings as n consulting board. They
accepted the invitation. Washington
Irving was chosen president of the
board. and after long and critical cX.
animation of fifteen plans submitted
to them for the improvement of the
park they unanimously adopted the
plan presented by Gen. Egbert L. Viele,
which, with slight notifications. has
been carried out under successive adj
ministrations. Central park is now
one of the most beautiful in the world,
and has fulfilled the prophecy of Mayor
Kingsland that it would prove last
ing monument to the wisdom, sagacity
and forethought of its founders"
The work was fairly begun less than
forty years ago, and now it is a strik-
ing monument of engineering skill,
landscape gardening and wise eXpen-
diture of public money. There are
eighteen entrances, and a number of
elegant arches of various styles of
architecture and ornamentation. 1t
has extensive and beautiful drives and
walks, places of amusement for the
young. lakes and fountains, a magnifi-
cent Mall leading down TO n lake which
affords water for boating and ice for
skating. a number of statues of emil
nent men, two large restaurants, men
agerie and an ancient obelisk from
Egypt.
Within and around Central park are
clustered the buildings of important
institutions-the arsenal, the Metro
politan Museum of Art, the Museum of
Natural History and the LencX library.
The surface of the park is pleasingly
diversified and the drives and walks
present agreeable surprises at every
turn. Within its borders are two
reservoirs of Croton water. In the
park are as bridges and tunnels. Some
of them are beautiful structures, the
