KEEPING HEDGES.

One Of the principle objections urged
against the employment Of live fences
or hedges is the cost Of keeping them
in efficient repair, for il admits Of no

of but little value as a fence against
live stock
Unfortunately. our best hedge plants
so far are of strong growth, especially
when young. and consequently require

Nests in Noisy Places.

Along the extension of the tracks OF
the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad from
Fifth avenue to and through ThirG
avenue, the structure is composed Of
iron plates, bolted together, instead
Of iron skeleton trusswork, like that
used in the older part, and one could
hardly believe that anything would
select any part of the structure for q
place of comfort. but the pugnacious
and lively sparrows of the street have
found safe nesting-places there, away
from boys and cats.
Where the g;rders are joined to.
gether short tie pieces Of angle iron
take some of the strain at the top and
form, with the sides of the plates,
small. sharp corners, that are nov
holding hundreds of nests that have
been made of straw, hay. chips.
twine, rags and whatever could be
picked up in the street. Some appear
to have been there all winter. About
two feet above them trains have passed
without disturbing them, although
some of the nests are SO large that
they are apparently IN danger of fall
ing. Throughout the noise overhead
day and night the birds have KEEP,

Certainly she is. It's rather an
uncommon story. Shall I tell 1t to
you?"

'The 70 ct is, then, that some three
years ago my poor mother, who was
widow, o,d what turned out to be .
very foolWh thing-she married again,
and married without making proper
inquiries. My stepfather, Mr.. Mad
dock, turted out to be very bad egg.
Ny mother lost the greater part of her
fortune when she married him, and
We were for time practically de.
pendent on my mothers uncle, an &C.
centric old gentleman, rather fond of
money, called Hedgkinson.
"Maddock is neither more nor lees
than an adventurer, and for a long
time it was the main business of hio
life to exploit my great uncle. At last
be nearly succeeded. Maddox and
some friends of his got hold of bit Q!
land in South Africa, which they
wanted to sell as gold mine. l don't
believe there was an ounce Of gold on
the premises. But my gres$ uncle
said that he would buy it Il the high
figure they asked for it if I would go
out and see it, and send him private
telegram advising hin that the gold
was there in paying quantities.

The door opened, and Maud hersel:
walked into the room.
1t seemed that her stepfather had
treated her SO harshly on account oil
her having spoiled his schemes that
she had been forced to leave his house
and take refuge with her brother.
For some time the old man refused
to believe that the reason Arthur gave
for not going to South Africa was the
true reason, but in time he came
round, and both brother and sister
are now good deal at his house. I
go there occasionally myself, which is
not Surprising, as Maud and I have
been engaged for the last six weeks

GRASS SEEDING FOR MOVING;
AND PASTURE.


1t IS generally customary TO NOV for
year Of two land that Is TO b4 event,
ually turned into permanent pasture
field, says j. c. Watson Of the Penn
sylvania Experiment Station. The
cloverS. particularly. fit the field for
permanent pasture grasses. The
grasses are, without exception, what at
the present time are termed nitrogen
consumers, the legumes are nitrogen
gatherers.
While clOverS that are used mostly
for forage crops do not maintain them
selves well in the land they are partic-
nlarly fitted to precede plants that re
qulre nitrogen. The clOyerS. through
the aid Of bacteria make use Of a con
siderable amount OF free nitrogen Of
the atmosphere. While il is not e1-
pected that red clovers or alsike will
maintain themselves very long in the
pasture field. yet their decaying roots
and stems leave good deal OF this
valuable food. nitrogen. for the grass
WHICH will come naturally.
If the seeding is to be made after
wheat. and moved for a wear or two
before being pastllred. SOW largely
clover and timothy. particularly If il
is in locality where bluegrass will
come in naturally and form thick
turf in a short time. If j, is not Il
natural bluegrass country. then some
bluegrass should he Sown. from one

timothy should be sown in the field n
the time Of or soon after seeding to
wheat. at the rate Of two TO four quarts
per acre. or it may be >own in corn at
