Fattening Cattle.

There is no better way to convert
our luxurious grasses and crops Of
grain into profitable beef, says the
American Cultivator, than to take the
best care of our cattle from calfhood
up. Never allow them to go back or
stand still, but keep them moving right
along until ready to fattcr. Feed
twenty-five bushels Of grain in the
spring and turn out on good pasture.
and finish in the fall with good grain,
we'll ripened, aud you should have
from 1900 to 1,6OO-pound cattle that
will command top prices. The cattle
business has been IN the ragged edge"
for the last two or three years; just
as the great depression in the hog mar
ket was for some time back; but a few
months ago the tide turned, and now
that animal is looked upon with favor.
It is estimated by some of practical
feeders that in this county alone there
was not less than $4,000 lost in feed
ing cattle last winter; while the breed.
er only received a fair profit for rails.

brighter day is at hand; the tide has
already turned in favor Of the cattle
owner. and especially for the one that
has good stuff. Although many have
gone out of the business and disposed
of their stock at q sacrifice, keeping
the price low for s long, it will be the
stayers that will win in the end.

Feeding Decayed Food.

DR.. T. f. White, state veterinarian
Of Missouri, reports the occurrence of
fatal disease among milk cows in Mis-
sissippi county, which he ascribcs to
the feeding of partly decayed feed
stuffs. Twenty-six cows died in the
vicinity of Bertrand, Mo, belonging to
various persons. There were no pre-
liminary symptoms, and about the first
intimation given Of trouble was that
the owners would go out in the morn
ing and find a cow dead, swollen to
enormous proportions and with the
blood oozing from mouth and nose
These conditions seem to indicate in
testina ltroublc, which the history of
the cases corrObOrated. The country
around is a low-lying. marshy district,
and the cattle fed largely on peas and
pea vines that r pastured off on the
ground where they grow. The cows
had been turned into such fields as
was the usual practice, but during the
mild winter there had been alterations
of freezing and tllawing which tended
to partially decay both the peas and
the vines. Feed in this condition then
caused arrangement of the stomach. a
gas was formed by the purified stuff.
DlOdIlIl& cllSucu, lAC 1lllAl uACu oAA
the continued fermentation after death
in the internal viscera was of such a
nature as to send the blood out at the
mouth and nose after death. DR..
White was subsequently called to De
Soto, where the city cows were dying
in q similar manner. The history of
the cases showed that the grocerymen
and restaurant keepers We're in the
habit of setting out all refuse matter,
such as rotten potatoes, oranges, LEM
ons, apples, etc, ut their back doors
for the cows to eat. The cows showed
Intestinal pain and would swell up and
die in a few hours. The present sea-
son has in many parts Of the country
been unusually humid, and the condi.
lions have been such as to be pecu-
liarly favorable to fermentation and
putrifaction in feedstutfs exposed to
the weather. Special care should be
taken to avoid feeding anything that
is in this dangerous condition.

lnsensibly his stern face softened.
Agnes was watching him closely. She
saw the change. and her heart leaped
into her throat. She caught his hand
and pressed 1t to her lips.
You will make me happy" she cried.
oh, Sir, God in heaven bless you; and
some time you will thank Him that he
taught you mercy in the cause of JUS

The governor rose, put Helen away
from him, and drew toward his writ
ing materials. He wrote rapidly few
moments, signed his name at the bot
tom of the sheet in bold characters, and
afliXed the great seal of the state.
He then folded the document and
gave it into the waiting hands OF Ag

She stopped over him and touched her
lips to his forehead in utter silence.
Only God knows how much at that time
she revered Archibald Fulton.

and refreshed. to the door, and assisted
her to the saddle. Helen went out and
took her hand. There was suspicious
moisture in the eyes of this wild girl
that the damp fogs Of night did not

mounted and he overlook her a few
miles on her way and they rode to-
gether until the evening of the oath,
when she dismissed him. She preferred
to go on alone. She halted until after
midnight to rest her horse, and then
set forth. She had seventy-five miles to
ride before ten in the morning.
Between the hours of ten and two!
The fearful words of the sentence
she were not in time? o, what IL she
were not? The thought was agony. She
urged on her faded horse by every
means in her power. Ten miles from
Portlea, it seemed as if the animal was
about spent. He trembled, staggered
and was about to fall, but Agnes sprang
off and soothed and encouraged him
with voice and hand, and then by-and-
by mounted again and went on. o, how
heavy her heart was! Despair had al
most seized her. II Jove gave out, then
all was over. She seemed, even then,
to hear the jeers Of the cruel crowd,
the hooking shouts, the heartless
laughter.
Still her horse staggered on, but his
breath came hot and thick, and the
foam stood upon his tanks like newly
fallen snow.
She looked at her watch. Half past
10! If she should be too late. The world
whirled round before her. There was a
great roar in her ears, like the rush of
the sea upon the rocky coast. 1t grew
so dark she could not see. She grasped
the neck of her horse for support, her
confused head falling on the pad of the
saddle.
Only for a moment. The anxiety
within brought her to herself She
looked around her. She was very near
Portlea. There were many people NOV
ing to and fro A great crowd filed the
streets. She took road to the Jail yard.
The crowd was terribly dense, but Ag-
mes saw nothing save that horrible
frame work of timber, raised high
above the stone walls Of the Jail, and
standing on the platform, a very prince
among them ALL the tall, erect form OF
Lynde Graham!
She was in time! Her heart swelled
almost to bursting.
"Yet a little more, Jove, and 1t Is
done!" she cried; but the poor beast
could do no more-he reeled and sank
on his knees, with something that
sounded like the sigh Of human be-
ing In despair.
Agnes sprang from the saddle and
dashed through the excited crowd.
They parted before her, and she reach

rope was already adjusted, the carpen-
ter stood ready, waiting the sheriff s
word to let the drop fall, and the sig
nal would have been given in another
instant.
The voice Of Agnes rang out, over and
above all the confused noises Of the
motley gathering:
"A reprieve! A reprieve!"
She held aloft the paper-they saw
the great seal of the state.
| "a reprieve from the governor" she
said, and fell senseless, even as she
spoke, into the arms of old DR.. Hudson,
who rushed forward to receive her.
The sheriff read the reprieve aloud,
and then removing the rope, he led the
| prisoner down the steps Of the scaffold.
In all his captivity no one had ever
heard Lynde ask single favor, but
now be said to the official:
Grant me this. Miss Trenholme has
saved me little longer to life-allow
me to pass near enough to her to touch
her clothes"
The sheriff stared, but INDUCED the
wish. Graham went up to where she
lay, a gread crowd around her, and DR..
Hudson and brother physician ap-
plying restoratives. He stopped down
and looked into her face. Oh. how very
white and deathly she looked! Graham
lifted the soied mantle she wore, and
touched the hem reverently with his
lips. Then he turned away, and went
back to his dreary prison house.
Agnes was taken to the residence OF
DR.. Hudson, and cared for as well as
could be. But she had endured so much,
both mentally and physically, that life
lay in a stupor so closely resembling
death that at times those who watched
her could not tell whether or not the
breath still fingered.
Mrs. Trenholme braved the displeas-

But Ralph. still naughty and unre-
lenting in his cruel pride. answered:
Mother. 1t is useless to Plead for her
She has brought our honored name to
disgrace by the course she has taken.
I cannot forgive her! Ralph"
But that night, when he retired to
rest. no sleep came to Ralph Trenholme.
He saw the pale face Of Agnes as he had
last seen it. She laid little cold hand
asked him to pardon and love her. He
started up, his brow wet with chill
perspiration. his heart beating loudly.
But at last he slept, and, sleeping,
vision came to him. He stood in the
summer house at the foot OF the gar
den. The time was June, for there were
roses in bloom at the mouth of the ar
Dor. Directly, there fioated upon the
roseate air the face of Marina. He saw
the blue eyes, and felt the thrill of the
golden hair as it swept against his
cheek.

aside vengeance. 1t belongs unto God
