the room was a naked wretch in chains,
but sentence was hurriedly pronounced
on him, and he was hustled away as
the two Englishmen entered, and they
found themselves face TO face with the
only woman in the room, the supreme
ruler of this savage South Arabian
coast town.
She was seated on a raised divan,
propped by cushions, and in front Of
her was huge water pipe ut which
she occasionally took meditative pull.
She was dressed quite in Oriental fash
ion, in troucers, zouane jacket, sash, and
all the rest of it, but she was unmistak-
ably English in features, though strong
w suggestive of the Boadicea. She was
large. heavily-boned woman, enor-
mously covered with flesh, and she dan
died across her knees that very unfen1-
mime scepter, an English cavalryman's
sword. But the eye neglected these de
tails. and was irresistibly drawn by the
strongness of her face. Even Kettle was
almost awed by it.

Capt Kettle had not seen necessary to
mention the fact to Mr.. Wenlock, but
while that young man was talking Of
the Miss Teresa Anderson who at pres
ent was ''quite a big parsonage in 1er
way" a memory had come TO him
that he had heard of the lady before in
somewhat less proxaic terms. All sail
ormen who have done business on The
great sea highway between west and
east during recent years have had the
warn given to them at one time or an
other, and most of them have regarded
Il as a gratuitous legend. Kettle was
one of these. But he was beginning to
hink there was something more in it
han a mere sailors yarn, AMI he was
anxious to see if there was any variance
in the telling.
SO, he sent for Murray, his mate,
made him sit, and commenced talk OF
4 purely professional nature. Finally
he said: "And since | saw yoH last the

CORN FOR FODDER.
If Really Profitable Results Are
to BE Secured.

When corn is at its best, the glazing
stage, it has a value of say 100 per cent.
-45 per cent of this will be i'm the ear
and So per cent. will be i'm the stock and
leaves. OF the s. per cent. in the stalk
and leaves, GO per cent will be in the
stalk below the ear, which will be 81 per
cent. of the whole value. The feeding
value of the ear is mostly in starch. in
the stalk il is in the form of sugar.
From the glazing stage TO full curing
the changes in the stalk are all against
the feeder. for while the sugar is all di-
gestible, in the ripening and curing
process II gradually changes to starch
and woody fiber, and becomes less and
less digestible, and thus loses much of
its feeding value. While the stalk al

SELECTION OF SEED.
How Improved Varieties OF Wheat
Are Being bred by the Kansas
Agricultural College.

II is common among corn raisers TO
maintain or improve given variety by
selection of the seed Ears showing de-
frable characters are set aside and
furnish seed for the succeeding crop.
Though not so convenient, this method
can be applied with equal success to the
selection of seed wheat. The expert
ment station of the Kansas state agri-
cultural college is endeayoring to breed
up improved varieties of wheat. There
is no reason why the simple method Of
selection should not be applied by the
individual wheat raiser. We would adj
wise the following procedure: Before
harvesting, the grower should 60 into
the wheat field and select a number Of
the most desirable heads. The basis of
selection depends upon the wishes of
the individual, but is carried ON as in the
case of corn. Usually il will be upon
the basis Of yield and quality. In this
case the heads selected should be large.
well-formed and with plump uniform
grains. The grain derived from these
heads should be grown upon a plot of
ground under the most favorable condi-
tons. The grain gathered from this
plat furnishes the seed for the third
year. But before harvesting a selection
of suitable heads should be made from
this for the next seed plot. In this way
the seed is each year imprived or at
least maintained atits present standard
The size of the seed plot depends upon
the total area of wheat to be grown.
Furthermore the seed plot may be given
much more careful treatment than is
applicable TO the field. II is best TO have
the seed plot within the main field so as
TO be entirely surrounded by wheat.
This lessons the loss from grasshoppers
and other insects. and gives the plants
better protection.-F Farmers Review.
