mornin," he said.
Then Piper Farquharson played
marches and strathspeys, and in the
cold and darkness death came to many
of his audience. But as they fell
asleep and their thirst was stated and
their pain eased, their lullaby was, to
them, the sweetest they had heard
since childhood.
Duncan could play no more. It was
indeed only f1tfully he had played at
all.
And the laird was passing.
"Goodby, old man, and thanksv'
sighed the laird. ".If you go home, tell
them I sent my love. 1 wrote to them

There was slight tinkle, the laird
fell sideways. He had gone with his
comrades.
The dawn would come soon. Already
the SUBMITS of the eastern hills were
beginning to appear through the gray
ness. Day was coming, and the night
and those who had gone under it's
blackness were now to be numbered
with that which had been.
Duncan, however, was only concern
ed about one thing.
The laird was gone. He had asked
him for march. He should have one.
Duncan rose, propped himself against
the bowlder and stood over the body
Of his lieutenant.
Then over the veldt the low, wailing
strains Of "Lochaber No More" rose
and sweIled in the dawn, like the voice
of a mother mourning with a sore ar
ticulate grief the loss of her children.
1t was well played. The infinite sor-
row, the wild hopelessness of the mu-

the more superstitious among the

back to the time Of the Crusaders.
When the Crusaders were ON the

were in the daily habit Of planting
their long, two-handled swords upright
In the ground. thereby forming

their morning devotions. On all mill

On farm near Boston where celery,
beets, lettuce, early cabbage and other
market garden crops are irrigated es-
pecial success has been experienced In
the irrigation OF early cabbage, accord
ing to a writer in American Agricultur-
list. 1t has been found that the first
crop could be got off early and the
ground wet for the seeds or plants for
the second crop, thus securing two
large crops In one season. Early cab
bage is irrigated by flowing water be-
tween the rows. Mr.. Stoddard's motto
is, "Wet thoroughly or not at ALL" He
has doubled the early cabbage crop for
several successive years, as proved by,
leaving n plot not irrigated. and has
harvested the cabbage In time to set
out celery.

The eastern farmer who keeps few
hogs to use up his skimmilk and other
farm waste does not want his hogs
running about and usually has no more
pasture than he needs for his other
stock. But with a little labor he can
have all the advantages OF the pasture
without its inconveniences. Let him
take small patch near the pig yard
and SOW a part of 1t with fiat turnips.
They may not be fit to send to market,
but IL they are wormy the hogs will eat
them and be glad of them. Then plant
another part to sweet corn and when
the turnips are gone begin to cut up the
torn and throw handful into the pen
every day.

PEACH CULTURE.
Notes From One of New Jerseys Most;
Successful Growers,

sucCtsSiuA 0roWerbs
In 4 very practical paper read before
the New Jersey Horticultural society,"
Mr.. s. S. Voorhees, advised concerning
peach orchards:
At the time of setting trim off all the
branches and cut back the main stem
to about two feet. During the sum-
mer rub off the buds, allowing but one
shoot TO grow. The following spring
leave five buds as near together as pos
sible around this stem about 31a feet
from the ground. After that trim year
ly and when you think you have Aim
med sufficiently take off as much more
AS the Irishman said. "Cut off the big
limbs while they are small" There is
little danger of trimming too much.
Make the tree the shape of an egg with
the big end up. If you trim thorough
ly, there will be less need of thinning
the fruit. Last summer l picked IA
peaches that occupied as little space
on the limb as in the basket But the
limb that bore the fruit was not COW
cred by half a dozen other limbs. The
fruit had room to develop, and every
peach came to perfection.
But thinning is sometimes necessary.
1t is good rule that If there are 1 1000
peaches on tree to take off at least
half. Three hundred peaches will
make three baskets of medium sized
fruit and five If they grow large. And
your chances of getting large fruit are
increased by the thinning, which
should be done in June before the pit
begins to harden. If any one has the
patience to pick off the surplus fruit,
would advise him to pick off that
which hangs under the limbs, as that
which grows above the limbs will
stand bad weather much better. A
much quicker way Is to use a pole.
One or two sharp blows against the
larger limbs will cause the fruit to fall.
l have found the hay rake the most
effective means for removing the
brush. Rake 1t to open spaces In or
at the edge of the orchard and burn at
once. If sufficient trimming is done
each year, the removal Of the brush
will give little difficulty.

Honey Packages.

fancy prices a wooden pail answers our
purpose quite well. Enough Of second
hand candy pals may be picked up
during the summer at our different
grocery stores to store several tons OF
honey. Their cost is only 10 cents, and
they need but little cleaning.
| have used regular butter tubs for
the same purpose. The wooden pail /
would not fill until the honey Is about
ready to granulate. AS soon as it is
solid the covers may be nailed on and

The Place of the Duel.

Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers, In her
"Romance and Realism of the South
ern Gulf Coast" gives an account of
one OF the last challenges to n duel
which occurred In Louisiana. The af-
fair was between NJ. Marigny. who be-
longed to one OF the Oldest families OF
Louisiana, and Mr.. Humble, sturdy
ex-blacksmith OF Georgia, who had be-
come n man of political consequence.
NJ. Marlgny took offense Mt some re-
marks OF the Georgian and sent him
challenge. The big ex-blacksmlth was
nonplused.
81 know nothing about this d1allng
business" he said. 81 will not fight
him."
"You must" said his friend. mo
gentleman can refuse"
81 am not n gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. II am only n
blacksmith"
"But you will be ruined IL you do not
fight" urged his friends. you will
have the choice OF weapons. and you
can choose so as to give yourself nm
equal chance with your adversary"
The giant asked time In which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
10 NJ. Marlgny:
81 accept and In the exercise OF my
privilege stipulate that the duel shall
take place In Lake Pontchartrain, In
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used MS weapons"
NJ Marlgny was about five feet eight
inches In height, and his adversary
was seven feet The conceit OF the
Georgian so pleased M. Marigny. who
could appreciate n Joke rs well as per-
petrate one, that he declared himself
satisfied. and the duel did not take
place.
