Qualifications of n Judge,

Mr.. Mortimer Levering, of Lafayette,
Ind, in an address delivered at the an
nual meeting of the New York State
Breeders association, recently held at
Rochester, on Judging Live Stock in
the Show Ring" after emphasizing the
great responsibility of the position,
summed up the requirements of a judge
as foll0ws: "An eye for symmetry and
outline, fine sense of touch, an educa-
ton in animal anatomy to detect blem-
ishes, defects and malformation, com
plete knowledge of the points of excel
lence governing the variety under con-
sideration, a mathematical genius for
comparing sizes and weights, a cool
head and resolute nerve, an unpre iu-
diced mind, the courage of his convic-
tions, unimpeachable integrity, and a
disposition to do what is honest and
right"

sprang down as much to get the paper
as to assist him, but as l did so he
scrambled to his feet with hundred
pardons, monsieur, for my clumsiness,"
and then hastily turned and hurried
after his mule, which was already many
yards ahead, behaving after it's kind,
and whose speed was not diminished by
the sticks, stones and oaths flung at
him, and there was roar of laughter-a
mob will laugh or hiss at the merest
trifles-as the lank figure of the capu-
chin sped along in pursuit of his beast
and vanished after him down a side
street.

go with him.
"Hasten, then! The road Is clearer
now, thanks to the capuchin, or rather
to his mule. BY the way, did you see
the monks face?'
"No!"
"a pity! l tried to, but failed in the

and he seemed wonderfully active for
an old man."

rected that our supper should be

About Color and Breeds.

Many readers who take an interest in
the breeds are at a loss to understand
the advantages possessed by birds of
the same breed, but which are different
in color. For instance, there are the
white, buff, black, brown, dominique
and siIver-duckwing Leghorns, but they
differ only in color, being equal in lay.
ing qualities. The same may be stated
of the singlecomb and rose comb va
rieties. There is a difference, however
in hardness. The varieties that are
rare, such as the black, dominique and
silver-duclwing Leghorns, are more in
bred, as new blood is not easily OBJ
tanned, but the butfs, whites and
browns, though harder than the 9th
ers. are about equal in merit otherwise.
Color has but little, if any, influence in
determining quaI,ty.-Farm and Fire

DESIRABLE RABBIT TRAP.

ly and is to be hung on pivot in such
a way that the end outside the box
is slightly heavier. Put the bait (c)
at the inner end of the pivoted box.
1t does not take much to induce rabbit
to enter a hole. Once inside this the
animal crawls along until past the mid
die, when its weight overbalances the
box, which tips up suddenly, and the
animal slides out into the larger box.
The pivoted box then falls back to it's
original position and is ready for an
other rabbit, The trap is easily con-
structed, simple and has the advan-
tage of being always set. There can be
two entrances as shown in the illustra-
ton. The top and sides of the box
exposed above ground can be covered
with leaves, snow or anything to dis
guise it. The trap door (a) is for re-
moving the captured rabbits.-Orange

CHAPTER XIV.
UNDER TIE LINES.

1t mattered little to me if | rode a
portion of the way back with de Belin,
and so [ turned Couronne's head as he
wished. Before setting off, however, he
gave some rapid and whispered orders
to Vallon, emphasizing them with a
loud Quick, mind you, and do not fail" D."
1T is not likely, monsieur" answered
Vallon, and then set off.
The crowd was as great as ever, and
we were compelled to go slowly. Look
ing for a moment to my right as we
went forward, | saw Nallon making as
much haste as he could in the delivery
of his message, and l wished to myself
that my own stout-hearted knave were
with me; one blade such as his was
worth a half-dozen hired swords.
1t was my intention to leave de Belin
at his hotel, and make my way as
quickly as possible to my lodging, and
thence, taking the risk of the kings
warning, go straight to the Rue Va
renLe and urge madame to instant
fight. My house of cards had come
down, a futtering heap, as the first
story was raised, and to my mind there
was nothing for it Dut a sharp spur and
q loose rein. / wished, too, for a mo-
ment of leisure to examine COiiIier's
gift. had little doubt that it conveyed
a message or warning, and the sooner
] got at its contents the better.

was before the king. In the first two
steps I took on entering the room |
perceived that there had been a scene.
Sully was standing against the open
window, his back to the light, and
graVely stroking his beard. The mar
shal was pacing backward and forward
In an agitated manner, and the king
himself was leaning against a high
desk, beating a tattoo with his fingers
on the veneer.
AS de Belin presented me, bent to
my knee, and there was a dead silence,
broken only by Henry renewing the
quick, impatient tapping of his fingers
on the woodwork of his desk. He was,
whal was unusual with him when in
Paris, in half armor, and perhaps in
compliment to the king of Spain, for it
was the anniversary of the treaty of
VerVins, wore the scarlet and ermne-
lineS mantle of the Toison dor. In the

daughter, whose pretty lips pouted with
disappointment because no notice was
taken of her good looks by the two cav
alters who supped together, whose
faces were so grave and whose speech
was in tones so low as to be heard only
by each other. At last we were left to
ourselves, and Belin, who had been ex-
planning many things to me thatl knew
not before, suddenly rose and began
to pace the room, saying: See here,
d'Auriac, l have helped you for two
reasons. One because / love France,
and the other because / love you. Hen
ry has ordered the marriage of Madame
de la Bidache with d'Ayen to be celebra-
ted tomorrow. lie gave that order to-
day to put an end to the opportunities
of the marshal in regard to de Conner

it, too. In plain language, you must
play bold stroke for the woman you
love-take her away tonight"
"That was partly arranged-we are
to go to Switzerland
"You will never reach the frontier.
I.ook-there is my castle of Mourmeton
in Champagne. 1t is old and half in
ruins. See-here is my signet. Take
it, show it to Gringel, the old forester
there; he will take you to a hiding
place. Stay there until the affair blows
over and then to Switzerland or else
where if you will; in the meantime
pledge you the faith of de Belin that
no stone will be left unturned to effect
your pardon"

NEGLECTED INDUSTRY.
The Honey Business Is Not Receiving
the Attention in the West
Which 1t Should.

1t is a matter of con graduation that
SO many of the side industries possible
to the farm have been brought into
prominence within few years through
the farm press and the farmers insti-
tute, but there is something still lack
ing. The honey business is rarely mem
toned at farmers institute, and many
of the farm papers do not mention il
except in the most casual manner.
Illinois has many honey plants which
would be a source of considerable rev.
enue if the honey could be secured, but
because of lack of bees thousands of
dollars worth of nectar wastes every
year. All over the state white clover
grows and flourishes during the sum.
mer, and in most of the state heartsease
and Spanish needle are found in waste
places, while golden rod might almost
be named as the flower of the state.
Besides these is sweet clover, which is
a troublesome weed in most places, and
many dislike the honey that comes from
it.
Intelligent farmers recognize TIE
value of bees in the pollenization of
fruit flowers, and they no doubt ac-
complish much good in the same way
with other crops. There is room for
bees on every farm in the state, and if
every farmer produced only honey
enough for his own family, the saving
in the item of sweets for family use
would be larger than most men imag
ine.-Farmers' Voice.
