placed in it her own miniature, paint
ed by herself.
She is half afraid, much interested
in him, a dangerous condition for
proud maid, but will not consider an
ENHANCEMENT with bondservant. In
a moment of anger he tells her her
family and pedigree are nothing COM
pared with his, that his great7grand-
father was king.
But war, as well as love, is in the air,
and the bondservant, refused by his
master the purchase of his freedom,
spends his leisure drilling the militia
on the village green, and at last runs
away, obtains an interview at head
quarters with Washington, conveys to
him news of much Importance, and is
made an aid to the commander. He
is with Washington when New York
is abandoned, when the army met de-
feat after defeat, when hundred after
hundred of men desert, when officers
and members of congress work for the
chiefs fall and failure; with him that
snowy Christmas night he gets his
2,4O0 men across the Delaware and
marches them nine miles to Trenton;
with him the terrible winter of Valley
Forge; with him in repeated defeats
and discouragements,~but also with
him when success is won at York
town.
The characters, as well as the events,

Washington's aid, and later revealed
Charles Lee, the illegitimate son of the
English general, Howe, holds our in
terest from the first; good soldier, q
good lover. Mrs. Meredith becomes,
by experience of the fortunes of war,
less rigid, more tender, but all through
a person of backbone. We watch the
gymnastics of Joe Bagby and Esquire
Hannion, the rival turncoats, with
mingled scorn and amusement, and are
glad Mr.. Ford, the author, sees they
receive their just deserts. Poor, clout-
ish Phil develops in the strenuous years
of his military career into quite man,
and we are a bit sorry there are not
two Janice Merediths, so he'and Brere-
ton may each have one. For, of course,
you know in the end Brereton marries
Janice.
AS the story goes on one begins to
think Janice's beauty curse, for it
brings her and 'dadda" and "mommy"
much trouble. The villain, Lord
Cloves, engages in all sorts OF machi-
nations to win her, as does also Joe
Baqby. Sir Frederic Mowbray offers
her his hand and heart and dies with
her miniature close clasped to his
breast. Phil serves her faithfully for
years. and then loses her. John Brere-
ton risks Life and honor for her, and
receives severe punishment IN the !oss
of Was ain gton's friendship and favor.
In vulgar parIance, Janice gets any
number of people into a peck OF
trouble. THE AsTROLoGER.

PIG-PEN POINTERS.

Where whey can be obtained in q
sweet state it is valuable as a hog
food.
Salt is very important part of the
hogs ration, except when mangel-
wurzels are fed.
Skim milk makes hard bones in
hogs, as has been proved at the ex-
pertinent stations.
Skim milk will always prove val
liable food for young pigs, as it is
rich in the proteins they need.
A big supply of long straw is bad
thing for the SOW at narrowing time;
It may prove the death of many pigs.
Experiments in feeding silage to
hogs have not resulted satisfactorily,
the cost of making pork thereby be-
ing increased.-Farmers' Review.

MILK FROM slLo FED cows.
Agricultural Department Of nlansia
University Finds It II Good.

Agricultural Department OF ul2n9t@
University Finds It II Good.
The attaches Of the Illinois State
Agricultural college think they have
settled the controversy which sprung
up between certain buyers Of milk
and the men who produced 1t, the for
meg ECfusing to buy the milk Of cows
fed on silage.
The college has just announced the
result Of a series Of tests concerning
this matter. Samples of milk taken
from tle cows on the agricultural
farm were sent first to dozen differ
ent professors of the college, then to a
number of students and later on to q
number Of women and finally to sew
eral milk experts. In addition. the
samples were sent to hotels in Chicago
and Springfield. In each case both
silage and nonsilage milk was sent,
and In no case was the object of the
undertaking disclosed. In each case q
person was asked which sample was
preferred and whether there were any
objections to the milk of certain
designation, but which was the siiage
product.
The result of this test, which COW
cred several weeks, was that 11S tests
favored the silage milk, G5 the nom
silage and 81 had no choice. To 800
samples of silage milk there were no
objections. The tests were double in
character, milk from cows being taken
both before and after feeding the 81
lage.
Professor w. ]. Fraser, under whose
direction the tests were made, says
that there can be no reasonable Objec-
ton to silage as feed II the feeding
is properly done. This Is considered
a very important matter, as a vast
amount of money has within the last
few years been spent by farmers in
building silos.
The condenser people claim that milk
from COWS fed on silage takes on an
undesirable taste. This the professors
claim comes from decayed silage.
When the milk is exposed to its odor
and If care is taken not to permit any
feed of the kind to reach the barn,
there will be no trouble.

RurnInr out Old stumn.

The easiest way to get rid OF
stumps in field or meadow is to burn
them out. Dig a trepch around the
stumps about two feet wide and two
and one-half or three feet deep, cut
of all projecting roots quite close and
remove the soil as well as possible.
Then leave the stump for few days
to dry. Gather up lot of dry sticks,
.k-..k-a etc and fill up the trench Iii
around and on top of the stump and
set It on fire. The stump will be con-
sumed In a day or two. Even green
stumps may be burned out In this
way. although it may require a sec
ond or third supply of dry sticks on
the fire to accomplish It'll. o. Folio.

to protect animals from Texas fever,

A Song for Autumn.

Let Old Age come with frosty hair,
Bent form and wrinkled face,
And that which once was strong and fair
Be shorn Of strength and grace;
And, though, no longer thou shalt know
The wealth May can impart,
And dark November's cold winds blow
Though the dear days may no more be.
Which once such beauty wore,
And Youth, with all it's ecstacy,
Be gone forevermore;
Though drear November's bleak winds
blow,
And sweet May dwell apart,
No more to gladden., do this-oh.
