FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Hold on to your focks. Don't give
up the ship when she is sailing haven
ward.
Where care and cleanliness is OBJ
served in brooders, chicks will thrive
wonderfully.
Alfalfa is strictly perennial, and is,
therefore, adapted to both permanent
meadows and pastures.
One decided advantage in hauling
out and scattering the manure as fast
as made is the great saving of time.
Good clean food and water and
warm comfortable place to brood IS
all chick desires or requires to en-
sure rapid growth.
Where number of poultry is kept
the owner should give little gran
ulated meal. Pour boiling water on
it, let soak for about ten minutes, then
mix with the other food.
All table scraps from the house
should be utilized at this time of the
year. These should be collected one
day, warmed up the next and mixed
with the meal, as they will be found
most beneficial.
The evils of the brooder are weak
legs, deformed backs, and bowel COM
plants, tho two former are caused
by rapid growth and an inefiiciency
of proper diet for forming bone and
muscle, and the latter is caused by
neglect, in sour food, water and dirt.
The fortunate stockmen who will
be the special envy of their less for
tunate neighbors, two or three years
hence, will be the owners of good
sized fiocks of wool and mutton sheep,
and from present indications they
will be none too numerous to detract
from the high and honorable distinc-
ton.
The shepherd who is also farmer
and has wheat or rye field, may do
this good service by turning in the
sheep to nibble the young grain. They
will not do much of this, but much
more good to it by trampling it into
the ground and setting in the roots
that havo been thrown out by the
frost.
During the winter is the best time
to make manure and to n considerable
extent is the best time to haul it out.
One good plan of managing is to haul
out on land that that has been plowed
in the fall or early winter, and that is
TO be planted to some crop in the
spring. The soluble portions will all
be taken up and retained by the soil
ready for the use eof the growing plants
next season.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
DFLICACY OF SHEEP.

Sheep breeders will do well to rec
ollect that the improved breeds OF
sheep owe their present high position
chiefly to the care and feed given them.
These must be continued if the pres
ont excellence of the flock is to be
maintained. English sheep accus-
toned to shelter from storms and to
succulent food are unable to hustle
for a living as the common sheep OF
this country are made to do. The i'm
provement has been made at the ex-
pense of hardness. All the mutton
breeds are more prone to colds or ca
tarrhal trouble and housing from
storms is imperative. - New York

'EnBaBemenI- yes, OHIiSty Io-
sponded. "Look at them! How did
he ever persuade her to come? Yes,
they've been engaged three weeks and
two days. Miss Hattie told me so.
They used to know each other Ill
Spruce Falls, where they both used to
live-and like each other, tool And
then Mr.. Greer went off West and got
rich, and poor Miss Hatties father got
killed in q saw-mill, and she had to
take to sewing, and if she hadn't
come here and bought the woolen
mill, and Mr.. Greer hadn't come here
50 as to get moro dressmaking to do
i mean just the other way, of course
why, they'd never have met again
and got engaged. Papa Is glad, be-
cause he is such friend of Mr..
Greer, and thinks he ought to get
married. And mamma and are glad
because we love Miss Hattie.
"And 1 am glad" said Parke de-
liberately, though his voice was not
quite steady, ''because l love you.
There-forgive me! 1 needn't have
blurted it out like that. Toll me, why
did you go wild over Greer's Valcn-
tine? And why, in the name of sense
e IT, TO
you?"
"Mr. Greer?" Christy gasped,
tremulous with the sweet surprise
with which his declaration had filled
her. "He didn't"
"But saw him buying it," Parke
cried, half laughing, half exasperated.
81 know he bought it, for I was try
ing to buy it myself. And you've de-
scribed it exactly-Cupids and sweet
peas and all" ="
"Oh, john" Christy murmured,
family, gently ignoring the fact that
he had slipped two fingers iuside her
muff to touch her hand, 81 thought
you sent it, l was so sure! There
wasn't any name on it; it was directed
to the house. Mr.. Greer has done
that before, and it's absurd. But 1
suppose he thinks everybody knows
that everything is from him and for
Miss Hattie. Poor Miss Hattie! For
me to steal her Valentine! She shall
have it as soon as ever we both get
home again. To think of Mr.. Greer
sending her Valentine! How much
in love he must be p Christy breathed,
softly.
.'He is" said Parke. "It's the only
reasonable conclusion, isn't it?" L
was going to send it toyou, you know,
only Greer got ahead of me.
His eyes fell again upon Mr.. Greer,
patiently and cheerfully and ludic-
rously laboring along ut Miss Hatties
side.
81 have been very foolish, dear
girl" he murmured. 81 don't know
how could have beloved"
But with her warm little hand lying
trustfully in his, and her tender eyes
darting timid, happy looks at him,
and his heart beating hard with mex
pressible gladness-with the moon
light flooding them, and the far and
near sounds of talk and laughter
floating to thcm-with all this, he
found further words unnecessary.
