rouse her. wont you let me try to
raise you up little?"
1t seemed hours to David before
Mary, with deep sigh, lifted her
heavy white lids. A moment her
half-conscious eyes rested on the
doctor who was speaking to her, and
then she looked at David. She tried
to make the nerveless lips move

fully, she said: Darling, love youl"
"She's all right now" said DIR.
Ellis, in tone of relief.
In a few moments all the doctors
had gone, leaving David and nurse
to watch Mary.
"She's doing splendidly now, sir"
said the nurse, moved by the trouble
in David's face to speak to him.
"There is not bit more danger"
But David did not believe that.
The shadow of the terrible possibility
of his wife's dying had fallen across
his heart, and it would take more
than words to lift it.
AS the doctors went down the steps
of the clearinghouse one said:
"And yet we are taught that wom-

"Oh, yes, they are brave, or the
world would soon be depopulated,"
said the newly-fedged doctor who
had administered the ether. But

service gratis for the operation"
And the doctors went their several
ways.-Ihe Independent.

Instead OF sowing turnips broadcast it
is better to put them in drills, just far
enough apart to permit of horse cultiva-
ton to keep the weeds down. 1t is pos
sible to raise 500 bushels an acre, and
even if but few cents bushel are re-
ceived for any not needed in feeding it
will be profit.
Many farmers never find the full
worth of the harrow, and it ia common
mistake, when preparing the ground,
not to harrow deep enough. The clods
just beneath the surface often do more
harm than those above, as they prevent
the moisture from rising.
Hoed crops must alternate with grass,
clover and cattle in order to make a sue
cess of the farm. About the only ex-
ception is where so little land is cult
waited that the entire amount can be
MANFRED every, year.
The best way to treat weeds is to put
a cover on the land to prevent them
from getting foothold, and nothing is
better for this than good sod. Few
weeds can grow in a good grass sod.
Land thus sodded. and fairly treated
during the rest of its rotation, will not
be much troubled with weeds. This is
the cheapest way to exterminate them.
In drawing the manure to the field
many practice the wasteful plan of heap
ing it in conical piles to rot. Nothing
is added to manure by rotting, while
great loss is sustained by teaching and
liberation.
One can avoid all the expense of a
covered barnyard by bedding the stock
properly and allowing the deposit to &C.
cumulate until load is ready to be
hauled to the fields; their it can be
scattered and begin its work of useful
ness at once.
Thirteen millions of dollars is the
value of the $4,000 bushels of potatoes
New York city eats every day in the
year, requiring 10000 acres to produce
them; but they eat 100000 pounds of
butter, costing s1s.OOo.OOO. Their milk
bill is as great.
II the disc harrow is used sufficiently
often to allow no green growth to come
up between the times of blowing and
seeding. good work can be done in kill.
ing out the Hessian fly. This permits
of earlier seeding. and gives good start
before cold weather sets in.
On too many farms the straw stacks
are largely wasted because of insufficient
care in stacking, and this is one reason
why wheat is not paying crop; we do
not take enough care to make the most
of it.
Manure we'll after the second cutting
of clover; this, with the decaying clover,
roots. when turned under, will SO store
the soil with plant food that it will take
very untoward conditions to prevent a
large crop Of corn next season.

Nuts and Fruits for Brain Workers.

DR.. Sophie Lepper. the English food
specialist, says in speaking of the pecu-
liarities of various foods:
Blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food; no heat
or waste.
Walnuts give nerve or brain food,
muscle, heat and waste.
Pine kernels heat and stay. They
serve as substitute for bread.
Green water grapes are blood purify
ing (but of little food value) reject pips
and skins.
Blue grapes are feeding and blood
purifying; too rich for those who suffer
from the liver.
Tomatoes. Higher nerve Or brain food
and waste; no heat; they are thinning
and stimulating. Do not swallow skins.
Juicy fruits give more or less the
higher nerve or brain, and some few.
muscle food and waste; no heat.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food, but do not give strength.
Prunes afford the highest nerve or
brain food; supply heat and waste, but
are not muscle-feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from the
liver.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding,
but are not good il the liver is out of Or
der.
Green figs are excellent food.
Dried figs contain nerve and muscle
food. heat and waste; but are bad for
the liver.
The great majority of small fresh seed
fruits are laxative.
All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from the
liver. and should be used cautiously.
Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily in cold weather; they have
thinning and cooling effect.
Raisins are stimulating in proportion
to their quality.

STOCK.

The stock this winter will relish a
crop of turnips. beets and carrots, and
it is not too late to plant them. No crop
will grow more good feed to the acre.
Because you have poor farm do not
conclude that you must have poor stock;
good stock will pay there as elsewhere,
and will help, too, toward bringing up
the land.
To reduce the cost of stock the most
effectual method is to reduce the time
required to bring it to proper maturity.
The sooner in market the less will be
the bill far it's food of maintenance.
When the full value of varied diet
for winter is understood we shall have
more silos, more root cellars and more
economical feeding as a consequence.
The old order OF hay and grain, varied
only by change to grain and hay, is no
longer in vogue with the wisest.
Weed out the old stock. the stunted
stock and scrub stock of all kinds before
going into winter quarters. 1t does not
pay to put up any for the winter which
are not good enough to pay for the good
feed and care you give them. 1t is idle
to work for nothing when it can be
avoided,
Anything which interferes with put.
ting the soil in perfect mechanical con.
dition should be avoided. However
careful, when turning cattle on cult.
waited fields, the soil will be injured to
some extent. Though pasture go to
waste to some extent where this sugges.
ton is followed, it is quite possible that
the gain offsets the loss.
Though you have regular times" for
sailing, you are apt to forget it once
in while. Do not run this risk, but
have it continually accessible in the pas.
ture and in the barn. 1t is possible that
much disease results through stock be-
ing deprived of salt.
The farmer who thinks he can give
up stock growing is sure to find his mis-
take. The pastures must be utilized
and fertility OF the farm maintained,
and stock must be kept even il he sees
no direct profit in it. The crops of
grain. grass and forage should all be
fed on the farm where it is possible.
Do not leave the young stock to CLEAN
bare subsistence from bare pastures,
even though it be wise to let them run
at large to gain bone. muscle and con.
stitution. Unless we'll nourished when
young, you will never be able to procure
good growth afterward with any pro-
fit.
Better throw damaged fodder into the
manure pile than to force stock to eat
it. Do not try to save at the expense of
your stock. 1t is very poor management
to so leave fodder that it will be dam.
aged, and at the close OF the winter to
make the cattle eat it or go without.
1t will bear repeating that it is we'll
to always mix a little chopped hay,
straw or corn fodder with ground feed.
This gives the finer food proper bulk,

POULTRY.

Since we know of what the egg is
composed, it will be we'll to feed such
things as will make the egg. We need
especially lime, nitrogen and phosphor-
US. Nothing contains these in more
suitable proportion than green bones.
Poultry of all kinds is easily digested.
and has less tendency to create heat
than fat pork, and the farmer who has
care for the health of his family will get
out OF the old table customs.
No one breed of poultry has all the
good qualities. The best layers are not
the best mothers. and the best table
fowls are not the ones which supply the
largest quantity of meat. If we get a
good layer it will probably be a poor
setter If we seek an all purpose breed
like the Plymouth Rocks or Wyandots.
we shall not find them excelling in any
one particular.
The poultry industry has developed
into the largest agricultural industry of
the United States. and yet she imports
annually 100000 worth of eggs to feed
herself. The 100000 people of the
State of New York consume about s45,-
100000 worth of eggs and poultry annu-
ally.
Small fiocks in small runs do best. A
city resident can obtain better from
a small flock in the back yard than
can farmer with the same flock on his
unlimited range.

HORTICULTURE.

II you have bit of spare ground
plant fruit tree there. After while it
will produce something. and meantime
it is adding something to the value of
your farm.
If within easy distance of the market,
an acre of small fruits or vegetables,
well cultivated should yield 5000. This
will come in nicely in paying store bills,
and you can have little ready cash
while the main crops of the farm are
ripening.
The commercial value of the tree is
wholly out of proportion to the cost of
producing it. II you doubt. price two
adjoining town lots. one we'll planted
with trees and the other bare to the sun
and wind; or see what naked farm will
sell for compared with one 80 we'll set
with trees that it has green and pleas.
ant look.
For real usefulness the little toad is
certainly q useful adjunct to the live
stock Of the farm, and it people would
keep their gardens free from bugs the
best thing they can do is to get on
friendly terms with this little creature.
Wherever you find one carry it to the
garden.
The ounce is a slow grower, and it is
we'll to plant two year old trees. Keep
the borers out. if you can; il not. dig
them out. Thick brown paper tied
closely about the stem, is good proven
tive, for they are inclined to lay their
eggs in the soft bark about the roots.
The ounce needs good soil, and should
be kept closely pruned.

DAIR Y.

Danish butter is frmer and not go
easily melted as that from Holland and
contiguous countries. and that makes it
greater favorite in the English market.
The Danes feed largely upon oil meal,
which seems to account for the differ
ence and may be hint to us.
Let the air pass through the cheese
curing room early in the morning, in
the evening after sunset, and all night.
Sprinkling the floor of the cheese room
with the coolest water obtainabls, at
least thrice daily, will help greatly in
maintaining the low degree of tempera.
ture desirable and so needful.
Nowhere do milk and cream seem to
be 30 little appreciated as on the farm
where it is produced. If used, it is
skinned to death. as if such consump-
ton we're sinful extravaganza; yet when
butter is low in price it is cheaper and
more nourishing than beer. wine or
lemonade. A rich bowl of it, with a loaf
of wholesome bread, makes a grander
meal than one can get at the town res
taurant for quarter.
In this great forage crop country of
ours the cows should never have to suf-
fer on account of dry weather pasture.
Have something in store when the dry
weather strikes them. Never give the
cows reason to let upon their milk Civ.
ing for single day, and then they will
always be at their best.
1t would be difficult to figure out any,
thing but actual loss in the keeping of
the average COW. Milk aud butter seem
to be among the necessities of existence,
and, at whatever cost, people are always
glad to have them. and do not often stop
to consider that the cost of production
might be greatly lessened.

LONG LIFE.
BY H. B0NAR.

He liveth long, who liveth we'll;
All else is life as thrown away;
He liveth longest, who can tell
Of true things, truly done each day
Then fill each hour with what will last !;
Make good the moments as they go;
The life above, when this is past,
Is the right fruit of life below!
Sow love,-and taste its fuitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright
Sow sunbeams, cen on rock or moor
And find harvest home of light!

MARY WINSLOW hurried
QNl little as she climbed into the
ten-thirty accommodation train from
New Rochelle to New York. The &C
commodation trains were always
crowded; and she wanted very much
to get a seat on the side of the car
from which she could catch glimpse
of her house. where her babies were
She had almost missed her train lin
gering over good-by kisses and baby
love making.
"Ou won tay away from Baby9
'Ou tum wife back adam, Mamma,
'tause Baby loves 'ou." And the soft
ditto of the younger baby-"Wite
back adam, Mamma, 'tause Itty Baby
loves 'ou."
They were such mites, these tiny
girls, it had always seemed prepos-
ferrous to call them by the stately
names that they had been christened
by. They had dubbed themselves
"Baby," and little baby" and in
tender home parlance they were
called that.
Mary could feel their plump little
arms around her neck now, and their
soft baby curls against her cheeks.
She strained her eyes to catch the
the last glimpse of the little gray
shingled house as the train swept
out of the station. She had told the
nurse to let the children wave her
"good-by," and she smiled as she saw
two tiny scraps of white futtering
from the nursery window. But even
the house was out of sight in mo-
ment, and she leaned back in her
seat, feeling tired and depressed.
She was doing a very bold thing
For the first time in the four years of
her married life, she was undertaking
something without consulting her
husband about it. But it was for his
sake-to save him from terrible anx-
iety; and to do that she would dare
do anything.
The tears stood in her eyes at the
thought of his shoulders already
stopped under their burden of care,
and his face so crossed with lines that
told as plainly as did the scantly COW

boyish crop of brown hair had slipped,

And his shabby coat and frayed

clothes, and when he did he went to
a cheap tailor who did not fit him
very we'll. He was a little man.
Mary used to think if he had been
few inches taller he would have cared
more for dress. But she was wrong
about that. David was very modest,
and not wonderfully clever; but he
knew that it would have to be coat
as beautiful as Joseph's to make him
more respected at his Office or more
loved at his home. All beyond those
two places was nothing to him.
Mary used to buy him lot of new
collars and cuffs now and then, and
neckties, and they were more becom-
ing to him than the ones he bought.
He did not think so, but he wore
them meekly for her sake. She even
bought his hats when matters had
gone too far for her wifely endurance;
as, for example, when he wore dust
and rain strained straw hat far into
November.
David had come to New York from
the South, and he never seemed tobe
able to acquire the spick-and-span
look OF the native New Yorker. If
he had INDUCED his taste in dress, it

THE HEROINE.
BY MARGARET E. sANGsTER.

Her raiment changes with the feeting
fashions
OF years that pass, but she abides in
sooth
Unchanged, the star and shrine of human
passions,
Or wise and old, of sweet in fiowerlike
youth.
Naomi she, the yelled and bent with sor-
rows,
Or clear-eyed Ruth, or Dido famed and
fair,
Helen the beautiful, of dim to-morrows,
Or sad Elaine, slain by her loves de-
spair.
She trails her soundless- garments down
the ages,
A vision and dream, or rustling steals
Past trembling arras in those haunted
pages
Where man forever fights and woman
kneels.
Our modern books and pictures often show
Serene and college-br bred and trinity
gowned
Rut able vet to make for all who knew
her
This queer old world one vast enchanted
ground.
To bind and loose, this still remains her
mission,
To loose and bind whatever be her
name.
Her date, from Homer down, or her con-
dition,
The heroine herself abides the same.
