next to impossible to make some OF

They see no reason why the river
should not rise in the sea and flow into

If they have noticed anything about

He was conveyed TO his nome, ana the
best attendance was procured for him.
MY fathers impression was that his
client had come to see him Oh some i'm
portant business, for he never visited
the office unless a matter in which he
was deeply and anXiously interested
impeled him to do so. His usual Gus
tom was to send his carriage for my
father when he desired to consult him.
What the subject could be which in
duced Mr.. Tompkins to visit the Office
that morning neither my father nor
could divine.
I'VE talked over the incident long
and carefully, and in the course Of the
conversation | mentioned to my father
some facts which it had not struck me
before were OF sufficient Importance to
mention. 1t was not often that at that
time in my History visited New York.
In fact, up to the time of which l
speak had been to the city only twice.
1t was circumstance which occurred
on my last visit that | mentioned to
my father. The business that took me
to the city was in relation to some doc
uments affecting wooded lands up the
state in which a client was interested.
| met an old college friend, and one
day he and went down to Long
Branch together, After taking in the
sights we were naturally hungry and
went to the best hotel we could select.
Seated at table near TO us was par
ty consisting of an elderly gentleman
and lady and several young people Of
both sexes, ranging from to IS years.
The gentleman. was seated with his
back to me, and it struck me that |
was familiar with the contour CT the
head. tried hard to get sight of the
face. but did not succeed until was
leaving, when | so managed as to pro
cure a pretty good view of the gentle

While the first importation of An
CORA goats into the United States was

years that they have attracted the at

raised them in any considerable num-
bors. The Angora enthusiasts say
that there is big profit in raising
them for market. Not only are they
valuable Oh account of their long, fine
hair used for making pushes and the
finest of fabrics. but there are those

The Angora goat originated In Tibet
and takes it's name from Angora. In
Asia Minor Importations were made
from there into Europe, Africa and the
United States. In Africa they are re-
garded with SO much favor that Cape
Colony has imposed an export duty OF
$500 per head to prevent their being
taken out of the country. At sales In
South Africa they bring enormous
prices. At an auction at Port Elizabeth
of 90 bucks and does the total amount
realized was $24,230 for the bucks and
S4,O25 for the does, an average Of $3.50
for the former and 1912 for the latter.
One buck sold for 81 $50 and one doe
for 1894.
Angora goat breeders in the territory
tributary to Kansas City are looking
forward to the coming sale and exhibit
ton with great interest. II 1t is the
success that it promises to be, 1t may

BRANDYw1NE. BUBACH NO. 5. HAvERLAND.
Coarse manure may be plowed under
with good results, provided it is APP
piled early enough to be well deconl-
posed by planting time.
Spring set plants give the best re-
suits; where fall set they should be
grown especially for that purpose,
small pots being most commonly used.
Where plants are grown by hill cul-
ture they are usually set in rows 3 or
81 feet apart and one foot apart in the
row, all runners and blossoms being
kept off the first season.
In matted rows the rows are from
81 to 4 feet apart, and plants are set
from 10 to IS inches in the row, ac-
cording to variety and width of row.
Fruiting one season only is usually
advocated by best growers. 1t is less
work and more profitable to set a new
bed than to renovate an old one,
1t is necessary to protect the plants
in winter by mulching with some ma
terial, such as straw, marsh hay, pine
needles, pine boughs, coarse manure,
ETC., to protect from heaving.
Failure to get maximum crop fire.
quently comes from improper fertiliza-
ton. Have at least one row in every

The practical growers generally
agree upon the merits of the following
varieties: Beverly, Brandywine, Blu
bach, Clyde, Crescent, Greenvillc, Hav-
erland, Lovett and Warfield.
Irrigation has proved of great value

Il never was what you may call SUI
perstltous," said lawyer from the
country as he sat in the courtroom
awaiting the judge, "but had an ex-
perience once that has ever since in
duccd me not to scott at what Is called
the supernatural. Mr.. Tompkins was
one of the first clients my father, who
was Il lawyer ever had. lie was
wealthy and had, as was supposed,
never been married. He lived in an
old homestead not far from well
known city up the state, and his wants
were attended to by an elderly house
keeper and several servants, male and
female. After ! became lawyer it
was my duty to see Mr.. Tompkins
quite frequently in relation to his prop
erty and so forth. He was kindly
man, somewhat reserved, and, when |
first knew him, probably G5 years Of
age. He had a strong personality both
as to appearance and character. He
was over six feet and stout i'm proper
ton. His face was always clean shay
ed, and he wore his hair long. Wien
| knew him, it had turned to gray. but
was as abundant as ever. His carriage
was erect, and his general appearance
was such as, if once observed, could
not well he forgotten.
"Mr. Tompkins was in the habit Of
spending a good deal of time away
from hone, and the impression of my
father and myself was that he was re-
cuperating in Florida. He went and
returned without notice. and his do
-mestics. being used to his ways, never
troubled themselves at his absence,
while at the same time they were eX-
ceedingly careful to have cvel ything
ready for his reception whenever he
might return. Neither to me nor to my
father did he ever utter any eXplana-
ton Of his absences from home or
make any allusion to them whatsoever.
zone day Mr.. Tompkins came to our
office and asked for my father. He
was not in just then, and Mr.. Temp
kins sat down and talked with me. He
asked me how had spent my time mt
college and about my associates and
my age and many other things. After
n pause which lasted some moments
he said:
"'You have reached that age when
you should marry. The best thing in
the world for you is to get wife as
soon as you can take care of one. \

ward the street. Then he stepped to
one side and appeared TO me to be
brushing something off his coat sleeve.
The next instant he wheeled right
round, staggered and fell. My father
entered just at the time, and both of
us FASTENED to raise Mr.. Tompliins and
place him on n chair. We sent for his
physician right away, and when he
came he said that Mr.. Tompkins was
suffering from an attack of apopleXy.

Pure Water For Animals.

We feel that we cannot mention this
subject too often or write too strongly
on it. says The American Cultivator

sluggish brook draining from swamp

rapid stream which receives the wash
of the hillsdoS where fertilizer Is
spread or the cattle are pastured is not
or beast. but it Is often much worse
than appears from the above descrip-
ton. 1t may be contaminated by dis
ease from animals that have access to
it. The hog cholera has been known to
follow the course of a stream down
ward from the field where it first ap-
pcarcd to infect every herd for miles be-
low that had access to it and through
them to other herds near by. The con-
tamination of water by horses that
have the CHAMBERS Is well known and
there is little doubt but that tuberculo-
sis germs may be conveyed in the same
way. 1t is also known that fever
germs are thus carried in the water
supply to the human race, and it is
claimed that they may be taken up by
the COW and transmitted in her milk
possibly without seriously affecting the
health of the animal through which
they pass. A deep driven well or a
pure spring to which no animals can CO.
with the water conveyed by pipes to Il
top to carry off such impurities, usual
ly lighter than the water, are the best
safeguards, and even then the trough
should be occasionally emptied and
cleaned out.
