been recognized as the standard wool
sheep of the world. The Merino has
been bred and fed for the production OF

A very large percentage Of the wool
produced in the United States is cross,

is a much closer and more accurate
method of classifying woods. Before
the wool is secured 1t is generally sort,

fleece and removes a portion Of it here
and there and throws 1t into separate
piles or baskets. The number of sorts

ing from two or three to five or six
sorts from the same fleece. It has
been found that fieeces from pure-bred
sheep do not, as rule, have as many
sorts Of wool in them as those taken
from grade and cross-bred sheep.
Fleeces uniform in quality and
length of staple are most desirable for
manufacturing purposes. Consequent.

desirable for the manufacturer we
must not cross indiscriminately. We
can use for the foundation stock OF
flock grade or native ewes, and by sys'
tematic grading up with some definite
breed Of sheep We can produce a more
even grade Of wool throughout the
fleece.

His face had grown pale and set. 1t
seemed to him that any further plead

ing against the rock A little CULVER
ing sigh broke from her lips. He
heard it, and turned quickly.
You will relent, Margaret? Tell
me there is some hope!"
She shook her head.
There is none, Paul-we must part.
Oh, can We not do so quickly? The
pain would be less If we did not see
each other"
1T shall be as you wish" said Gle
land, after a moments pause. Il can

short time | shall be far enough from
England. Do you care to hear where

She bowed, making no answer

garet's lips; but she checked it, and
the next moment turned to him, her
face as pale as ever, but quite calm.
Il can only wish you every success
and-and happiness in your new life,"
she said, and laid her hand, cold and
after all, what happiness is better and
deeper than that which comes to us
from our work? If we can help to
allay suffering, and to bring back
health to others, surely we can ask
no greater joy on earth? Doctor Gle
land, wish you that happiness with
all my heart"
| Thank you," he said, little husk-
| lily. Il do not think | shall be able to
call myself happy, Margaret have
not reached such a height of self
abnegaticu yet; but as the great apos-
tie of work says, Thou canst do with
out happiness, and instead thereof find
blessedness, l suppose that is what
you mean. Well, shall we say good
by now? We may not have another
chance"
Margaret looked at him. 1t was a
look he was to remember for very
long afterwards. In it he read all the
deep love of her woman's soul for one
moment, without veil or reserve, barred
before him. Her hand still lay in his.
He drew her a little nearer, and his
eyes seemed to devour her face
For Heavens sake, Margaret, think
once more what you are doing! Do
not part us for the sake of an imag-
mary barrier; do not sacrifice us both
for another's sins! 1t is not too late
yet to say the word that will change
our whole future lives"
He felt her hand culver; but she
answered steadily:
Paul, this is the only thing left for
us to do-to part. There is no other
way-none. Good-by."
"Good-by," said Paul, hoarsely.
| Then, after a pause, still holding her
hand, he said: Margaret. it is the
| last time perhaps that | shall ever
speak to you alone on earth. Will you
kiss me once, because of what might
| have BEEN"
And in the tenderness of that mo-
ment-a tenderness that for the time
seemed to blot out all her own agony
and Margaret raised her
pale, pure face and kissed him with a
kiss that held parting and grief and
death in it.

land I think there is no man who
would dare to say that we do wrong

rule Of these barbarous, bloodthirsty,
massacreing hordes. / confess to shar-

was like culver.
You are not going to the desert?"
she asked, little pantingly.
Yes. They require a doctor, and
have offered my services. i am going
next week"
Adrienne's white hand moved the
fan it held to and fro gently. Cleland
could not see that her cheek was grad
ually growing as white as that hand.
You don't know the Soudan," she
said at last, in low tone. 1T has
killed our best and brayest men. 1t Is
a man-eater, sucking the life out Of
strong men. not by battle or murder
or sudden death, but by slow, ignoble
disease. Think of the days of weary
march through storms of sand, be-
meath a sweltering sun, And the
nights. sometimes icy cold, sometimes
hot and close as an oven. Think of
sickness there" She shuddered.
Il shall not think of 1t at ALL" said
Cleland, quietly. "Others do not, and
why should /? / could not stay here
and lead this life of ignoble ease
while others are bravely facing dan
ger or death. You would not think
the more of me for doing so, am
sure. Mrs. Breynton."
A lovely color, soft and warm like
the blush of a pale damask rose,
swept over her face for a moment.
Did Cleland notice it? 1t was not
likely. For two years only one wom-
ans image had dwelt in Paul Gle
lands mind, and he had never even
imagined that any other could obtain
an entrance there.
Yet there was no woman for whom
he had so high respect, so warm an
admiration, so true friendship, as for
Adrienne Breynton.
But the soft blush in Adrienne's
face was not in response to respect or
admiration or friendship.
why, tea is in, and we have taken
no notice of it," she exclaimed the
next moment, as if to cover her mo-
mentary embarrassment. Il will pour
you out cup, DR.. Cleland."
As she crossed the room, her pale
blue teagown falling in soft folds
ground her. the door was opened, a
servant announced Major Rayburn, y
and Mrs. Breynton paused, and turned
towards the door to receive her second
guest.

Bulletin 17S of the Michigan Expert.

dency of the wool market points to
a continued active demand for fine
grades of wool which the Merino alone

The Merino was brought to Michigan
probably as early at 1928, and from
that time until the beginning of the
depression in the wool industry the
Michigan Merino was we'll and favor

Where Do the Weeds Come From I?

A press bulletin of the Vermont FIX

the experiment station farm has been

weeds upon it, but no kale. 1t was
plowed and seeded with clean oats,
but early in July one would have

sown with pure kale seed instead.
Where does the kale come from? This
question is often asked by the farmer
when perplexed by developments SIM

as these have made many believe in
spontaneous generation" at least as
concerns weeds.
But when asked to explain 1t our

seed, no plant. Seeds of many plants
may lie dormant in the ground for
years-especially II buried rather

A Place for the Goat.

On good many of our farms there
Is place for the goat. Sheep will
eat large number Of weeds and are
very seryiceable in that regard, but
the goat carries the same idea to a rar
greater length. Sheep are grazers pri-
marily and browsers incidentally. But
goats and browsers by nature. They
will live and flourish where even a
sheep will grow thin. Kinds OF feed
that would send the sheep into the
sick list will support the goat and
make him fat. A writer on goats says
that they will pass by cultivated
grasses to get at burdocks, MULLEN
and thistles. The bushes that are con-
stantly springing up on our waste hill
sides might be kept down by goats.
