During the winter he bought himself a
new boat. With all necessary ceremo-
MES this boat was christened the Flying
Fish. But during the christening feast
there was considerable of a row. The
otherwise SO good-natured Bjorn fired up
about some chance leasing words, some
moeking nickname given the boat. With
out knowing just why the matter excited

rude and Threatening. Next day, how
ever, he was much dissatisfied with him

forgotten his duties as host. But the
innkeeper comforted him and told him
that was all the fault of his approaching
marriage. A man in that condition can't
keep the right balance and is liable to
slop over either way on the slightest
provocation That was always So The
thing to do was to bring the matter to
a close as soon as possible.
Bjorn did not answer. He muttered
something about pspring, and sheets and
linen, etc, and then! went for a sail in
his new boat. She was flyer and no
mistake, he could prove that to the
scoffers on shore sany day!

a wife, so Bjorn gswore to himself.
Thus the marriage came about.
The ceremony, naturally, was to be
held in the little country church. A rel
atfve Of Stine-Stine was the bride-had
suggested that as Stine's parents were
both dead, and he himself was an inn
keeper in Copenhagen, that he should
give the wedding feast in his house.
Bjorn protested vigorously against this
He and his brother were to sail to the
city, and lay up the boat at Kroyer's
Wharf. Niels would take care of the
boat, and he himself would "play monkey
just long enough for the splice;;'' then
back to the city, and on board the boat
to take his wife home.
Slime and her party protested against
this arrangement with equal energy, if
not with equal warmth of expression. A
wedding without a feast was an impos-
sibility, and there would always be time
enough for the sail, thought Slime to
herself. So she chung to her decision

BJorn, and cut the after-ropes loose.
All right. Tie up again and let me
come aboard"
Then came turning upside down and

Pan. The bulkheads the flooring, the

and about an hour later Bjorn and Anders
stood outside the tavern, where the bar

summer sun shone down on their burning
faces and beamlng eyes, but when Bjorn
looked toward the harbor and saw The

for something of interest He stopped
on the dock, blinking still more, and
seemed to take the measure of The Pail.
Heb, boys, where are you from?"
Bjorn looked up, surprised at this
question about anything so well known
From Fiskebak, of course"
Are you the owner?
"Of what?"
''Of the boat"
Bjorn looked up at the skipper, with
his hand behind his ear
Il am a little deaf; but if you are
speaking of the boat, it is The Pail, and
L am the owner"
Why do you call her The Pail?"
THAT is her name"
Has she any faults?'

The skipper laughed and took his hands
from his pockets.

Anders looked at Bjorn. Then they both
looked up at the questioner, and at last

Proper Location of Crops.

There are few farms that do mol
have a variety Of soils. Especially Is
this true on hilly land and even on
some rolling land. There is the sandy
loan and the clay loan and some SOILS
that cannot be called loamy in any
sense. Where varieties of soils exist
the crops should be placed on them &C.
cording to the nature of the crops to
be grown. One would not suppose this
advice necessary, but it is. The writer
has seen sugar beets grown on the
sandy loan of farm one year and
give immense results, and he has seen
the same crop put on heavy. lumpy
clay the next year and give almost no
results.
This practice not only destroys the
usefulness Of the crop that is placed
on ground unsuited for it, but 1t dis
places some other crop that would
thrive on that same ground. The cab
bage crop is one that will do well on
these heavy clay soils, and the par
snip crop, as every farmer knows, de-
mands clay to do its best. The trouble
is that with the parsnip crop the de-
mand is small and no large area can
profitably be devoted to growing the
root. There are, however, many KINDS
of farm produce that will do well on
such land.
A little study of the adaptability OF
soils will do much to remedy the evil
When a farmer must raise every kind
of produce on one kind of soil he will
do we'll to eliminate few crops that
are especially adapted to soil other
than that he has.
