1 TALK WITH ALAN IN THE WOOD Oh

Alan was the first to come round. He
rose, went to the border of the wood
peered out a little, and then returned and
sat down.

great, ruddy, jovial gentleman struck
out of life in a moment; the pity of that
sight was still sore within me, and yet
that was but part OF my concern. Here
was murder done upon the man Alan
hated; here was Alan skulking in the
trees and running from the troops; and
whether his was the hand that fired or
only the head that ordered. signified but
little. By my way of it, my only
friend in that wild country was blood

We ken anything against my reputation,
it's the least thing that We should do,
Tor old acquaintance sake. to let me hear
the name of it; and if We have only tax
en- distaste to my society, it will be
proper for me to judge if I'm insulted."

The man, We should ken, was cast upon

Weeds and Good Farming.


Occasionally a farmer is heard to ask
how the weeds can be killed, but he
does not realize that if by some rapid
process they could all be dispatched
new legions would fill their places at
once if the conditions which they enjoy
remain. What farmers need to compre-
bend is that without some radical mis-
take in the management of their land
the daisies would never have gained
such foothold. All plants, including
weeds, settle and thrive where the COM
petition for life is such that they can.
enter into it and prosper. A good stand
Of grass leaves no room nor any hope
for weeds. It is not in we'll titled fields
that Canada thistles flourish, but in
neglected pastures and by the roadsides.
In the contest with the best agricultural
practice they cannot prevail. The rem
edy for weeds is to keep the land busy
with a good crop on it, and this means
that the farmers must give persistent
and connected thought to his business.
If the daisies crowd out the grass, it is
because the meadow has been neglected
and the grass has begun to fail, and
wherever there is vacancy by the
failure Of the grass every enterprising
weed finds rightful opportunity to es-
tablish itself. If the farmer asks, there
fore, what will kill the daisies, there is
one answer: better farming.

Turn down the apron. Make a loop on
one end of strong rope and place this

Hints.

To remove the smell Of onions on the
hands, ground mustard, slightly damp
ened, rubbed thoroughly on hands, af-
ter which wash with sand soap.
Instead Of keeping ice in dish where
it will quickly melt, tie flannel loosely
on the dish so that it drops into the
bowl and keep the ice in a flannel bag.
The rubber rings of fruit cans will
recover their elasticity if soaked for a
while in weak ammonia water. This is
quite an item when canning is being
done, ana the rubber rings are found to
be stretched out of shape.
Wash willow furniture with warm
water and CASTLE soap, Wiping very dry
with a soft cloth, then dry in the sun or
near a fire. TO bleaca it, after washing
in warm suds, set in box without dry
ing, put a small dish of burning sui
phur inside and cover the box for half
an hour.
4 dressmaker is the authority for 8
hint on caring for the big sleeves, still
a part of the fashionable bodice. In
hanging the bodice in the wardrobe
turn the fullness Of the sleeve up above
the shoulder, as when it is worn, and
fold it's width smoothly and lightly un-
der the sleeve at each side. This care
will preserve it's shape and grace.
In practice, 100 pounds of -four will
make 1873 to 1877 pounds of bread, the
average being about 1856 pounds. In the
making the yeast causes the sugar to
ferment, yielding alcohol and carbonic
acid in the form of gas, which makes
the dough porous. In the baking the al
cohol is changed to vapor, and the car
bonic acid is expended. The addition
OF shortening and salts brings up the
fat and minerals in the bread, SO that
the proportions are larger than in the
-four.

Old Idea of the Farmer.

The old, brutal notion has not yet
been lived down that laborer needs
only to be a huge mass of meat and
bones,'' six feet by two, that can hold a
pillow, fat steer, feed pig or drive
a jack plane, OF swing trowel. A
workingman used to be valued like a
bullock-for the size and toughness of
his muscles, and the number Of pounds
avoirdupois he might chance to weigh,
and to some extent he is valued SO yet.
The voice Of history from the days of
Grecian and Roman helots down to
modern slaves and ignorant ploWboys-
proclaims the damning truth that
the world estimated brute force, and
power Of brute endurance, all that the
laborer needs to make him accomplish
his misslon-that mind and thought are
as useless to the man who works as
the fifth wheel would be to a wagon

Fish Balls.

Fish balls, moistened with AN egg,
make delightful and nutritious sum-
mer breakfast. By using shredded cod
fish all unnecessary work is avoided;
there is no odor, and the family break
fast can be prepared in ten minutes at
the cost of 10 cents. This fish keeps
for any length of time, and is always
available. Mix with one-half cup of
shredded Goldfish just as it comes from
the box, cup of unseasoned, hot, mash
ed potatoes; add one small egg and
speck of pepper, beating all till creamy;
shape, roll in dried bread crumbs, dip
in beaten egg and a teaspoonful Of milk,
then in crumbs again. Fry in wire
basket in deep, hot fat, just below the
smoking point, till a rich brown; drain
on brown paper.

Strictly speaking, cider is the juice
of apples after it has been extracted
from the fruit, carefully filtered, clari-
fed and fermented, and should contain
not less than per cent. of alcohol. In
this country the term is applied indis-
criminately to apple juice from the time
it leaves the cider press until acetic

and these will help keep the flies at bay,
Where they have no such choice Of
situation, try and give them the shelter
of a darkened shed if you can during
the heat of the day. But there should
be openings in it through which the
breezes can play. And by all means
give them water. There is no place
where they want it more than in the
late summer, when the grasses are
parched and dry. The poor things suf-
fer when they have no water, and all

Poultry Notes.

Non-setting breeds lay white eggs.
The hen pays for herself in a short
time.
Large eggs indicate that the hens are
too fat.
During hot weather water your fowls
three times a day.
Beware of overlooking; it is variety
Of feed and shell producing materials
that give the best results.
Give the hens proper care, but this
does not imply that you must be con-
tinUally fussing with them.
There is little or no difficulty in rails
ing young ducks or goslings if they can
be kept dry until we'll feathered.
Geese are very hardy, are easily rails
ed, require less care and expensive
food than any other breed Of fowls.
Bantams make nice pets, but they
should be kept in separate yards, as
they are very annoying to larger fowls.
poultry. Where this is impossible the
yards or runs should be cleaned at least
once a month.
If the drinking fountains are scalded
out each week there will be no slime in
the vessels, and the water will not car
ry disease.
When the comb of hen is large and
bright colored, showing it to be full Of
blood, it shows her to be in a good,
healthy condition.
Horticultural Hints.
Kerosene emulsion will kill cabbage
worms, if thoroughly applied.
Diseases are contagious among
plants, and should be watched and
promptly treated.
Canada papers report large hang OF
fruit in the orchards, particularly APP
pies. prospects are for good crop.
The small trees should be cultivated,
especially during dry weather. In fact,
all cultivated crops will be benefited
by shallow cultivation during dry
spells
Small-fruit growing is not straining
to The lands fertility; in no other crop
will so much satisfaction, gratiied
taste and good health be secured at so
small a cost.

MAY TRY TO GIVE BOND.
Friends of TwItty and Reeve Work.
ing In Their Behalf.

1t is understood that'efforts will be made
to-day or tomorrow to secure the release
on bond of H. d. Twitty and H. NJ. Reeve
who were indicted last Friday by the
grand jury on charges of forgery because
of the fraudulent rosin receipts.
Friends Of both parties have Interested
themselves in the matter and have been
at work on it for some time. They say
they are ready to furnish bond in any
reasonable amount, and the only question
in the way now is the fact that it has been
intimated by the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway representatives that as
soon as bond is given under one warrant
other warrants win be issued II is not
known what the attitude of the railroad
people in this respect will be but n il
hoped by the friends of both parties. now
that a settlement Of the matter has been
agreed upon between the par
ties interested on the civil side
of the question, by which nh
parties are practically well secured that
the railroad will relax somewhat in its
sternness, and allow the defendants to
give bond under the indictments ALREADY
found.
The amount of bond has been fixed at
$1,000 in each case. which would require
each of them to give bond in the sum of
5000, and this, it is stated could very
easily be arranged. Friends of both mar
ties even state that they could give bond
If necessary, up as high as 5000 or $40. 600
No doubt some application to the court
with regard TO the matter will be made in
4 day or two. The terms of the agree
ment between the parties at interest which
are well known. were stated in the Morn
ing News of Saturday.
1t Is understood that Mr. Twittv's
friends prefer that he should have an ear
ly trial. but it is not likely that ANYTHING
Will be done until after this week. as II Is
understood the grand jury will on FRIDAY
continue its investigation into the matter.
