Marjorie shivered and screamed. The

Marjorie shivered ana screamed. The
water was now up to her knees, and
they had long distance still to go.
Hurry! hurry-do!" urged Jasper,
thoroughly alarmed. Eve must reach
the path, or we shall both be drowned.
Marie, can't you run little faster?"
For minute the two children strug-
gled on; but the water was rising as if
by magic, and at every step the treach-
erous undertow threatened to lift them
off their feet and wash them both into
the angry sea.
Another wave, and still another, and
Marjorie's feeble strength was almost
gone.
'Mamma! mammal" she cried.
And the words cut Jasper like knife,
as he realized that he had brought her
here to drown.
It was useless now to try to go for
ward. A strong man couldhardly have
kept his footing on the yielding sand,
and their sole chance lay in the cliffs.
They must climb them or die. Every
inch of the rocky coast was familiar to
the boy, and, without word, he turned
resolutely back, still holding his little
cousins hand. Fear lent him strength,
and a few steps brought him to the
spot he sought, huge bowlder that
rose frowning over the breakers.
"Now, Marjorie, listen to me-" he
said, quietly. "Put your foot on this
ledge, and take hold of the rock above.
I am here to catch you if you fall"
II can't, Jasper. Indeed, l can't"
sobbed the child, shrinking back, and
hiding her face against his arm. "The
stones are so slippery"
"Butyou must, Marie. Do you hear?
You must try, at least, or we shall be
drowned in another minute. Only be
brave, and hold fast, and will climb
on the bowlder, and lift you up. There,
now-that is right. Don't think about
the water, and don't let 60"
White and trembling, Marjorie clung
to the rocks, while Jasper, as agile as
a cat, crept up to the ledge above GRu-
tiously he leaned over and seized the lit

DOGS ON DAIRY FARMS.
They Are q Detriment rs Guardians
of MIX Cows and Should Al.
ways BE Chained.

In drive through leading dairy
section recently in the Elgin district
just at milking time in the evening we
were surprised to see that about every
one kept dog to help drive the cattle
up from pasture, says an exchange.
Nearlyal these dogs manifested about
the same propensity to make them
selves extra useful in keeping close to
the heels of the cows, with result
that the cows would take to running
to get away, and in some cases the
lively trot of some of the animals
seems to have afforded the boys some
amusement, as the dogs were not
called away until the whole herd was
about getting into a run. This over
exertion just before milking could
have but one effect in diminishing the
quantity of milk and thus create quite
loss to the pockets of the owners,
but the help on the farm or the care
less sons of the owners had apparent
ly no other considera ton than to get
the cows into the barnyard or stable
and get through milking as soon as
possible. 1t never for moment oc-
Cured to the milkmen that they were
diminishing the supply by such haste,
and the owner probably never figured
on the expense attendant on keeping
dog in the herd. While we had no
means of knowing, the chances are
that these people do not subscribe for
any paper or think it necessary to
keep posted outside of the experience
they may have acquired in the bust
ness. The dog may have his uses
around farm, but as adjuncts to the
profitable management of dairy they
are detriment and should be chained

ROADSIDE ADORNMENr,
Wild Hedge and Flowers and Fruit
Trees Would Deautify Without
Costing Much. .

In improving country roads there
is not infrequently danger of de-
stroying something of the charm and
picturesqueness which bushes, flowers
and vines give to the roadway in many
rural districts, and the danger of do
ing this is sometimes actually used as
an argument for not undertaking
nuch-needed Improvements. There is,
however, a middle course which leads
to the preservation Of natural ad-
vantages alongside the construction
of hard roadways. Such course the
Norwich Bulletin declares itself in IA
vor of, "when the country road is of
sufficient width and shape to be worthy
the name," and it then pertinently
adds: . ...... -. -
''The wild and breezy hedge and the
wild flowers in their day, beginning
with the violet and the dandelion and
closing with the fringed gentians, the
purple asters and the golden-rod, make
for appreciatiye people pleasant
way; but there are many cart paths
in Connecticut where roads ought to
be. There are too many of the narrow,
concave, rolly, rutty, muddy, crooked
ten-feet cart paths now parading in
this state under the title of roads, with
sumach and hackma tack for border,
and Canada thistle and wild carrot
blooms for decoration. The cart
paths are dirty, slumpy, corrugated
ways which add to the discomforts of
life. New road building makes for
their adjustment, and for the estab.
lishment of wide, convex, well-drained
roadbeds, along which the wild hedge
and flowers make setting that is both
picturesque and charming"

Some Ben Davis History.

The first bearing Ben Davis trees
known to the writer, west of the lakes,
were in the orchard of Avery Aldrich,
at lTiskilwa, Ill. Tyler McWhorter, of
Aledo, ILL.,, secured scions in 1858 and
began its propagation. A son of Mr..
McWhorter soon after started a nur-
sery at Brooklyn, Ia, and began the
first propagation of the variety west
of the river. In 1861 we began its pro-
pagation il the Benton County nur-
series. The Duchess and Ben Davis
were the leading varieties sent out for
several years and at that time the Ben
Davis was regarded equal to the
Duchess in hardness and this opinion
was not dispelled until we had passed
through the test winter of 1S7O-1.-
