TO Extend the Bay Street Main.

The water commission has decided to
extend the sixteen-inch main on Bay
street from its present terminus at Aber-
corn street to East Broad street, for the
purpose of giving better fire protection
to the property along Bay street. The six
inch main which now serves that portion
of Bay street is very old and in poor con-
dition and affords inadequate service to
the fire department. When this is COM
pleted it will give a sixteen inch main the
entire length of Bay street, which will
afford ample water supply for all pur-

Are you going to make her cake for
herr"
"Yes, Maud, our chance has come.
Not what we would have chosen, per-
haps, but it will pay us well, and we
can work at home. Miss Margrave
wants me to make all the cake for the
fete, and for their family table, and
she will ask her friends to give me
their orders instead of sending over
to Pinxter. We shall be busy and
happy"
Il suppose I ought to be glad"
said Maud, her gloomy facein strange
contrast to her words. "But l do
think you are fit for something better
than drudge"
"Who said was going to be a
drudge9" laughed Jessie, moving the
iron swiftly over the dark wine colored
cloth. Cooking is an honorable en-
ployment, and l like it. Have you
forgotten those lines from Lucile7
We may live without poetry, music or art,
Wemay live without conscience and live with
out heart;
We may live without friends we may live with
out books,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks. -
In time Maud became reconciled
to the new departure. Cakemaking
was dainty work, and there were the
added comforts they were able to get
for their mother, besides the satisfac-
ton that little by little they were &C.
cumulating the means to pay the
dreaded doctors bill. Miss Margrave
had procured them as many orders
as they could fill, from families who
would pay we'll for Jessie's confec-
tions. She often called at the cottage,
frightening them all up with her
CHEEKY presence. She brought flowers
and delicacies for the invalid, placed
many pleasures in Jessie's way. and
won Maud to a more hopeful view of
life.
"My sphere is a useful one, if it is
narrow" Jessie said to Fannie Has
kins one day.
"My dear, there is an old saying
that the best way to reach the heart is
through the stomach" laughed the
merry girl. "That was true for once
with Miss Helen. By the way, have
a special compliment for you. 1 was
sewing for Miss Helen yesterday, and
we were speaking of you. Mrs. Mar
grave said that "a young lady with
cultivated tastes like Miss Jessie, who
can work as she does, and is not
ashamed to earn her living by it, is a
rara auis in these nineteenth century
days, and deserves much credit"

frankly. "But it is vastly more
agreeable than to live on uncertain
ties"

She was not an ideal cicerone, this

to her room and finish her dinner pre-
parations. She hurried me on when l
fain would have paused awhile, and
seemed more eager to crack jokes with
the soldiers than to rummage her mind
for such details as the accomplished
guide is stuffed with.
The soldiers were standing at the
foot of the staircases, peelipg potatoes,
in groups of twenty or thirty. The at
mosphere was as different as possible
from what it was five centuries ago.

STOCK

In foot and mouth diseases, hog
cholera, contagious pleuro- pneumonia
and other contagious diseases there is a
sown germ, a seed which. planted in
natural soil, will develop and grow and
exhaust the soil it grows in, and result
in the death of the animal which fos-
ters it. The wind and water are ever
carrying these germs in their currents.
II sufficient quality of food is not
given to make the result profitable, there
is the loss of that which has been given;
and there must also be the proper kind
given to procure the desired end. The
rule holds good whether feeding hogs or
plants, and there is knowledge every
farmer must have of the nature of foods
if he would succeed.

of the turpentine cause to be elected.
No use for the farmer to say his
fathers did we'll with common stock or
the old ways of grain growing. Times,
prices and market demands have chang.

Despite our advancement. we raise
millions of worthless scrub stock every
year.
In regions where lands are being
newly cleared it is not common for COWS
to abort. 1t is quite possible that the
ashes to which they have such free ac-
cess in the burnt brush heaps have a
good effect, furnishing them with sup
plies Of phosphate. Or it may be that
the ashes they eat keep the stomach
from filling with gases through decom-
position OF their contents.
The improved beef breeds have been
so long bred to develop aptitude for
quality and quantity of meat that it
would be folly to feed such animals
highly for butter; the same will apply
to feeding butter animals for beef; but
without liberal feeding neither beef nor
butter can be produced. 1t is a matter
of both breed and feed.
The sore necks of horses and oxen
from gals and bruises should be thor
oughly cleaned and then washed with
salt and water or brine. For gals there
is nothing superior to tannin; it seems
to heal the sore and tougher at the same
time. Keep we'll oiled as the sore nears
healing. A better way is TO sponge a
sweaty horses neck and have no gals.

Give some thought to the claims of

cause their requisites were not well IN

protect them against both summer heat

Evaporation is always going on from
the surface of twigs and buds, even in
winter. Moisture must be supplied, and
when deep freezing encloses the extrem-

The decay OF partly cleared forests prov

The periwinkle is a fast grower, and
quite small pieces will make large patch

EMANUEL BAYARD, - CHRIST
MAN OF WINDOVER.

In "a Singular Life" Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps has given us tale Of love, hero
ism, service and sacrifice. 1t is piece
Of true art work. The colors are those
Of nature, mingled by the cunning of
genius. The scene is laid in Massachu-
sets. Cesarea may be translated An
dover. and Windover our great fishing
town Of Gloucester. The group of
characters thrown upon the canvas is
striking in adaptation of the conditions
and necessities Of the story; each has
individuality and stands for something;
there are no figure heads, no characters
fading into invisibility. The whole
group is brought out in boldness and
with distinctness. Instead of haze,
sunshine glorifies the picture. Even
the subordinate figures have an air of
reality, and, once seen, can never be
forgotten. Mrs. Granite and Jane; Rev.
George Fenton, the elegant pastor of
the First Church, and the less noted
Rev. Mr.. Tompkinton from across the
Cape; the old professor Of theology.
Rev. Haggai Carruth, and his wife; and
even Lena. the reformed girl; Capt. Hap
and Job Slip would, from the authors
description, be recognized in the resur-
rection of the last day.
The story has lesson, even though it
has no cheap exhortations or preach
ments. The picture is SO accurately
drawn that no label is needed to tell us
what it is. No one, as he stands and
gazes upon the canvas, can doubt, for
moment, that we have in it a counter
blast, a protest, live thunderbolt
hurled against the internal liquor traffic
of America, whose visible and sole occu-
patton is the degradation. ruin and utter
damnation of the people among whom it
is allowed to exist. Old Trawl and his
son Ben are the representatives of the
nefarious traffic, breathing out threat
ening and slaughter against whatever is
true and pure. The spirit of murder
was in them, even while they tried to
pass themselves off for respectable and
gentlemanly citizens. Their business
was swift.witness against them.

Agriculture.

This generation of farmers is not
spending as much for fences as did our
elders. The stock laws have come into
general favor. Since stock is kept at
home cattle improve, scrubs diminish,
cows give more milk, calves thrive better,
hogs are of better breeds; but, best of
all, the old feuds over fences are thing
of the past.
In building country roads get rid Of
heavy grades, either by location or cut
ting. The steepest grade determines the
load to be hauled. The road should
never keep to the alignment of the prop
erty to the sacrifice of good grade; and
to avoid expense. do not make the road
way too wide.
An acre of locust timber, planted and
we'll cared for 20 years, would be worth
more than an ordinary farm. Iron posts
are already being tried. because of the
scarcity of fence posts in many regions
of the country. The yellow locust is ex
ceedingly durable is easily propagated
from seed, and is rapid grower.
The liq uid manure is the most valua-
BILE produced upon the farm, and it is
the one regarding which the least care
is taken in saving it. There is no posi-.
tive need of water tight tanks to receive
it, for it can be allowed to mingle with
muck, road dust or saw dust, and can
then be stirred with the heavier man.

In blowing hillsides the burrows should
neither be run directly up and down,
nor on the level along the sides. Let
there be slanting slope down the hill,
that the water may all have time'to soak
into the ground. The soil will not be
washed. nor the water wasted, neither a
starting of bitches or gullies.
The Northern dairyman and horti-
culturist will both eventually do we'll in
the South. Climate, soil, and cheap
land are all in his favor. His Northern
energy will stay with him for time, at
least; neither will he have much com.
petition among people who are not as
yetfamiliar with his work nor his necess-
tiles.

much to grow them?
While considering the beet question
in the Northwest, let us remember that
the sugar region of the South is but be-
gun in development. While a large
plantation in Texas has produced six
million pounds of sugar year, it has
hardly been heard of as sugar produc-
ing State. With the proper conditions
and inducements we shall not only make
all the sugar we need, but be great ex-
porters.
