in one of our London hospitals in
whom the sporting instinct was well
developed. His ward was visited, in
the usual course, by the surgeon, with
a retinue of fifteen students. The sur
geon described infinitely the nature
and extent of the disease from which
the patient was suffering, then, turn

asked:
Now, Mr.. Sawyer, would yon ope-
rate ia this case?'

SQUIRE LEATHER'S BOY.
Proof Positive That Hezekah Was Chip OF
the Old Block.

speaking of the boy who used his
sisters tooth brush to paint his double
ripper sled, and forgot to wash out the
paint before he returned it to her
room," observed the Major, reminds
me that you never can tell what 4
boy will do. There was old Squire
feathers boy Hezekiah-the Squire
thought he couldn't depend on him,
but he found he could.
Esquire Leathers had a fine water
melon patch, of which he was very
proud. But he annually lost a good
many melons through the raids OF
tramps and other predatory persons.
AT last he got mad, and vowed he
would protect his own interests. So
he loaded up his shotgun pretty near
to the muzzle with birdshot and gave
it to HeZekiah, and sent him out to
stand guard one night. The boy
made some objections to going, and
the Squire got it into liz head that
he was afraid. He rebuked him
roundly, told him that he was I'M
worthy to bear the proud name of
feathers and pushed him out into the
night. Then the Squire went grumb-
ling to bed. In half an hour he got
up, saying that he was going out to
test the boy.
""Tain't necessary to make tarnal
fool of yourself, JONAS says his wife;
I admit it, Admit he's a coward?
says the Squire. No; admit you're
a fool says his wife. 'Mebbe I am
says the Squire. But that boys a
coward. He takes after your family.
I'll show you he's afraid to pull the
trigger and the Squire went out
doors and into the melon patch. HeZe
kiah was in one corner behind a
burdock, waiting for game. The
strange figure attracted his attention
through the darkness, and he gave 1t
the left barrel. The doubling parent
jumped ten feet into the air, hoWled
murder, and ran for the fence. HeZe-
kiah's Instructions had been to
make clean job, so he let his worthy
father have the other barrel. This
settled the Squire, and he crawled
to the house and sent for the doctor,
listening meanwhile to remarks ap-
propriate to the occasion from his low
ing and dutiful wife. The old maa
was always 4 little lame after this,
and it used to be a pathetic thing to
hear him tell the story of the occur
renee, and at the end shake his head
sadly as he observed: I seen when it
was too late that what I ought to "a
done was to "a sent the hired man
out to test that boy. Hezekiah was a
true feathers, after ALL ''-Harper's
Bazaar.

THE CALM THAT CONES AT EVENING.

There's a calm that comes at evening
ing,
When the weary day is DER,
That was soothing as the lullaby
Our mothers sang Of yore;
And though the day be dreary,
I can Just forget it all,
In tho calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.
I can see my sweetheart's signal
From her waving window blinds;
I can feel her perfumed presence
Waited to me on the winds;
When I hush my heart to hear her,
I can almost understand
Fer sweet welcome in the wimple
Of the wind-wave from her hand.
When she laughs its like the music
OF the ripples on the ribs,
And her breath is like the fragrance
OF the flowers that deck the hills.
And though the day be dreary,
can just forget it all
In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.
-Cy Warman.

Putting Up Barbed Wire.

The Illustration, from the American
Agriculturist, shows handy contriv-
ance for paying OUT barbed wire
when building fence of this material.
A stout stone drag has round stake set
in one corner well braced. The reel of
wire is put on as suggested for attach
Ing the upper wire and below the braces
at various heights when putting up the
other wires. This brings the wire right
along beside the stakes and at just the
height desired. When ready to staple,
let the driver of the team take hold of
one arm of the reel to keep it from turn
ing, starting up the team few feet to
stretch the wire. His companion then
staples firmly, when more wire is un-
reeled and the process is repeated. A

Our Second Satellite.

If we are to credit the observations
made by DR.. Georg Waltemath Of
Hamburg, Germany, our earth is ac-
companied in her wanderings, not by
one satellite only, as we have hitherto
been content to believe, but by two.
Although it seems utterly incredible
that we should have to wait till the
end of the nineteenth century for the
recognition Of the existence Of this
second moon, yet we must remember
that numerous observations, mostly, it
is true, utterly unscientific and vague.
have from time to time been made
recording the passage of an unknown
dark body across the suns disc.
These observations were some short
time back ccllated by DR.. Waltemath,
and from the facts thus brought TO-
gether he has evolved the theory OF
the existence of 4 small moon hitherto
unrecognized. having a diameter OF
some 40 miles, with a volume 123
times smaller than that of the moon.
and mass eighty times less.
In announcing his theory DR.. Waite
math predicted transit of this body
across the suns disc for a date early
in February last. and curiously enough

firmed from more than one quarter

Fertilize the Orchard.

1t is certain that any crop will ex'
haust the soil in time, whether Of grain,
grass or fruit. On some farms may
be seen orchards Of apple trees over
half century old. Every year these
trees have produced fruit, and in re-
turn have received nothing in the form
of fertilizer 1t is estimated that an
ordinary apple crop removes from an
an acre of soil about so pounds of nj.
trogen, 40 pounds of phosphoric acid
and IS pounds of potash. When clover
is grown in the orchard the land is
benefited by having it's proportion Of
nitrogen increased, but it will gain
nothing in mineral matter. The land
devoted to apples should receive fertil-
iZer or manure every year, and when
there is heavy crop of apples in sight
the fruit should be thinned out in the
early stages of growth.

Cost of Growing Corn.


The University of Illinois has been
trying to find out what it costs the
Illinois farmers to raise corn. 1t had
replies from 800 farmers in all the
rn-growing areas. Up to husking
the items of expense given in the re-
plies do not vary greatly, but subse-
quent expenses are absurdly reported
to vary lis cents in one county to
1873 cents in another. The average
cost Of raising corn was found to be
for the statE 1912 per acre, or 16.1
cents per Ddshel Including interest
on the farmers equipment and the
cost of the cribs, Smelling and in haul
ing to market the conclusion is reach
ed that in 1896, which was an average
year, with an average yield of tifty-four
bushels per acre, the cost from break
ing the ground to delivery of the corn
at the elevator was 1915 cents This
covers the rent Of the ground or inter
est on the value Of the land, interest on
depreciation on plant and wages for
the farmer and others engaged in the
work of raising the corn. At this
rate, if he got 29.5 cents per bushel he
cleared $40 per acre. He got this
clear in addition to wages, interest,
depreciation and other costs.
