The last rejected sutton had been
Hiram Dyer, a widower of but eight
months and the possessor of eight saw
ful' children who had undoubtedly
been largely instrumental in worrying
and wearying their poor mother into
her grave.
''Mebbe this is from Hiram Dye"
Hetty Dryden said, as she shipped off
the end of the envelope containing the
valentine. "He said I'd hear from him
again. If I felt sure it came from him,
I'd send it back. don't want him nor
his valentine, either" :.
The valentine that Miss Hetty drew
from the envelope was not made of
paper lace and tinsel and embossed
doves and flowers. It was instead a
squarly-folded sheet of blue lined note
paper, on which was written in an EVIL
IDENTIFY disguised hand:
'This night at eight,
For to know his fate,
Your valentine will wait
At your front gate.
If from your east window
A light doth shine,
He will enter in
To claim his valentine.
If all is dark i!
He will go away,
Leaving forever unsaid
What he wants to say.
o, be not cruel nor unkind,
But let light shine
For your valentine.''
The flush in Hetty Dryden's cheeks
deepened as she let the bit of paper
fall to her lap.
''Such nonsense! I'd probably never
hear the end of it if was goose enough
to really set light in my east win.

me I've seen writing like that be-

She held the sheet of paper out and
looked at it quizzically, with her head
twisted little on one side.
1T doesn't seem possible that any
man in his right mind would do any
thing so silly as to make up jingle like
that and send it to woman, even if
he meant it. I just wonder who did
write that?"
When woman's curiosity is fully
aroused, nothing but the facts in the
case will satisfy her, and Miss Hetty
was annoyed to find herself growing
more and more curious regarding the
identity of the sender of the valen-
tine.
"It'd be serving him right if I set a
light in my window to lure him on,
and then dash dipper of cold water
over him when he came to the door,
she said, with unwonted severity. 81

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their
Stock.

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States is
only one of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
| good, sober and Industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion.
Dear Sir:
You want to know how got along
since came into Northern Alberta.
am happy to inform you that am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the 29th of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to makes us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 18x20 inside, so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the ffties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the list
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span Of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors Of two stables were
left open for them to go into in cold
time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. know all of
their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and great
deal more. All of us are comparative
| ~ out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of a fair
price, and expect we are as well con-
tented lot of people as there are from
| Florida to the Klondike.I
My son bought two pounds of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead Of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
I cannot say how it will thresh. All
can say is that it is well headed, and
takes an enormous amount of Irvine.

And Jacks papa sent to mamma.
When he was just eleven,
The same rhyme for q valentine,

And up within one corner,
With bow and arrows, wings and all,
Sat Cupid, little scorner.

And Master Jack shot out last night

But not before I caught glimpse

DISPUTE OVER PLANT FOOD.
The Botanists and the Chemists Have
Different Points of View-Both
Sides InSistent.

There us no chemical problem more
intimately connected with human well
fare than that of plant food, according
to paper read before the American
Chemical society recently by DR.. H. w.
Wiley, chief chemist of the department
of agriculture. Animal life can only be
sustained through the mediation of
plants. Various views have been enter
tanned of the nature of plant food by
philosophers in different eras of his
tory. The first view of plant food may
be denominatedt the meteoric. It was the
one entertained by Pliny and Virgil in
their agricultural writings 1900 years
ago. This idea of plant food supposes
that plants derive their nourishment
from meteoric sources, usually of su-
pernatural origin. Even at the begin
ming of the present century men whose
attachments in science marked them as
leaders believed that the plants had
some mysterious relation with meteor
ic influences. At the close of the last
century, however, and at the beginning
of the present one, the progress of
chemistry had been sufficient to prove
the falsity of the views of the older phi
losophers.
According to Count Gyllenborg, who
f1ourished in Sweden at the end of the
eighteenth century, vegetables are
nourished largely by watery, infam-
mable and subtle, oily or sulphurous
particles which the air contains. Si1
Humphry David entertained more rea.
sonable views of plant food, but still
was of the opinion that the plant OBJ
tanned very little of it's nourishment
from the mineral substances which the
soil contains. It was not, however, un'
til the time of Liebig, about the middle
of the present century, that the organic
theory of vegetable nourishment was
finally overthrown, and the mineral
theory, which now practically pre-.
walls, was established. According tc
the mineral theory of plant nutrition
the food of plants, especially of green
plants, consists almost exclusively OF
mineral substances. Before organic
substances can be served as plant food
tucy uuSI De reduced 10 the mineral
state by the process of decay or of bac
terial action.
Within the last few years conflicting
statements in regard to the nature Of
plant food have emanated from differ
ent scientific sources. The botanists
speak of starch and sugar as plant
foods much in the same manner EN-
ployed by chemists of a hundred years
ago. It is evident that the point Of
view of the botanists is entirely differ
ent from that of the chemists. The
chemical and correct theory Of plant
food is that it consists of those sub
stances almost exclusively mineral il
their nature, which, entering the plant
serve to supply it's vital activity an6
build up its tissues. This point of view
does not include foods of white plants
OF those which contain no chlorophyll
From an economic point of view, the in
crease and conservation of plant foot
have direct connection with the pro
duction of human food and the increase
| of population.-N.Y Y. Herald.
