here sooner, said he, "but the roads is
awful rough, and old Charlotte has got
stub or somethin' in her foot. But
where's the gal? Amt she ready?'
He was answered by Mary herself, who
made her appearance, followed by Billy
bearing the box. And now commenced
the leave takings, Miss Grundy's turn
coming first.
MAY kiss you, Miss Grundy:" said
Mary. Miss Grundy bent down and re-
ceived the child's kiss, and then darting
eff into the pantry, went to skimming
pans of milk already skinned. Uncle
Peter between times kept calculating:
"Oh, Lord; oh, massy sakeLoh, for
iand1' Billy knew it would be lonely
without Mary, but he was glad to have
her go to a better home, so he tried to
be cheerful.
Aside from him, Sally was the only
composed one. 1t is true her eyes were
very bright, and there was compression
about her mouth seldom seen, except just
before one of her frenzied attacks. Oc-
casionally, too, she pressed her hands up
on her head, and walking to the sink,
bathed it in water, as if to cool its in
ward heat.

We aim to feed it out before Christmas
or before it freezes too much. OF

from the shocks just as needed, as it
will keep just as well as If stacked.
for If it is coarse and rank the stalks
will have lots of juice in them and will
not keep if stacked. Sorghum fodder
is splendid for all kinds of stock. Hogs
will eat it with relish; cattle and
horses like 1t also.

Sorghum as Fo lder.

We plow the ground in the spring
after corn planting, says Kansas cor
respondent in Prairie Farmer. The lat
ter part of June is soon enough, be-
cause if you SOW too early it will get
ripe and you will have to cut it in the
warm weather of August. 1t is better
to plant so you can cut it just before
frost. 1t will keep better and is not la
BILE to sour, as it might do if cut in the
warm weather. We sow it broadcast,
about two bushels to the acre. Be sure
and sow it thick or it win grow big.

Parsnips for Milch Cows.

The parsnip is probably one of the
best roots ever grown for milch cows.
and it has great advantage in that it
may remain in the field until spring
when other roots are all gone, and then
be used until grass has grown. 1t is
as easily grown as the carrot. and like
that root it wants deep, rich and mel
low soil. Many object to growing it
even in the garden, because the weeds
are apt to get such a growth before
the parsnips come up that the labor of
wedding is greatly increased, but this
may be remedied by mixing few rad
ish seed with the parsnip seed, which
will come up SO that the rows can be
seen and hoed out long before the par
ships are up. They can be pulled when
the parsnips are thinned.

Cutting Asparagus.

The question of the propriety of cut
ting all or certain asparagus shoots as
rapidly as they appear and for con-
tinued time often arises, for it is well
known that the continued cutting away
of all a plants growth has a weaken
ing tendency at least. AS recently
stated, most gardeners cut all growth
during the first half of the season. But
a correspondent recommends leaving
nll the very light growth, that it may
strengthen the plants for the following
season, and only cutting that which is
strong.-Meehan's Monthly.

Mr., Nobody,

As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody's house.
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
BY Mr.. Nobody.
rTis he who always tears our books
Who leaves the doors ajar;
He pulls the buttons from our shirts
And scatters pins afar.
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done

toned off 8 feet long by 6 feet wide.
The floor of a cooling chamber should
be placed about three feet below the
surface of the ground so as to take ad-
vantage of the coolness of the earth.

If the farmer desires to know how to
select good clover seed he should learn
to know weed seed as soon as he looks
at it. Then if his eyesight is not
good enough to distinguish it when it is
among the clover seed, let him spend
from fifty cents upward for a good
magnifying glass, and let him buy no
clover and not much other seed until
he has examined it, and found it rea-
sonably clear of the weed seeds. 1t
may be hard to find it perfectly pure,
but there is NO use in buying such seed
as sample sold in Vermont last year,
which had 59,310 weed seeds in a
pound Just think of sowing ten,
twenty or more pounds of such seed on
an acre. The seeds of plantain, sor-
rel, pigweed. smartweed, curled dock
and the foxtail grass were the most
abundant in this lot, and each of them
might pass for clover seed at first
glance, but can be detected under a
magnifying glass. 1t would be good
lesson for the boys to collect samples
of each of these and some other seeds
in little vials, and label each, that they
mighty study them until they knew
them too well to buy them as clover
seed

Time to Sow Tobacco Seed.

There seems to be general rule for
sowing tobacco seed in each State with
reference to the frosts which are likely
to- occur in the spring. Seed beds
should be planted from six weeks to
two months. according to the variety
of the seed, before the latest date at
which killing frost has occurred in the
locality. This is for domestic seed.
Imported Cuban seed should be plant
ed a month later and imported Sumatra
six weeks later than acclimated seed.

wires are numerous hooks. to which
the various cooking utensils are hung.
The whole thing is but another con-
trivance to gain trade, for of course,
many persons will buy that which is
brought to them, who hesitate to seek
it for themselves.

DON'T Spray Fruit Trees in Bloom.

DoH spray II ttI TEES IN DIOOms
Professor Beach recently discussed
before a beekeepers' convention the
spraying of fruit trees when in full
bloom. Generally speaking, his con-
clusion seemed to be that spraying dur
ing blooming time was not only waste
full, but decidedly harmful as well, cut
ting down the supply of fruit to an ex-
tent that, if generally practiced, would
amount to thousands of dollars to the
fruit men all over the state.

Lady .sBobsn and Her Trunks.
There is a story going around about
Lady Roberts and her trunks, for the
truth of which, says the Westminster
Gazette, man returning from South
Africa veuches.
At the height of the transport difficult
ties, Lady Roberts carried eight large
| trunks from Cape Town to Bloemfon-
tein in the very teeth of the officers.
i Everybody wondered, everybody
grumbled. No one but Lady Roberts
could have taken the things through
The transport of stores had been stop
ped for the time, the sick lacked every
comfort, and those who were not sick
were half-starved and only half-clad
Therefore, when fatigue party was
told off to fetch those eight trunks from
Bloemfontein station, some rather un-
mplimentary things were said about
women travellers in general and this
latest transgressor in particular.
Next day seven of the eight trunks
were unpacked, and their contents dis.
tributed among the soldiers The clever
lady had snapped her fingers at red
tape, and had smuggled through com
forts for the men. One small trunk con
tanned her personal belongings.

wake to see the fight of this noble spirit
as it passed to the eternites, but Robert
Oswald Burton had died as quietly and
grandly as he had lived. Thousands of
men and women bowed their heads in
deepest sorrow when the morning greeted
them with the words: Robert Burton is
dead" From the North, the South and
the West by telegram and letter hosts
of weeping friends spoke their words of
distressed sympathy to the smitten wife
and children. These messages tell how
far he was knows, how highly honored,
and sincerely loved. North Carolina, con-

scented the revolutions adopted by the

Many men may play at such task, only
the great can perform it,
These duties make the legal profession
sacred profession. No profession is ex-
pected to perform more sacred offices
Yet small men have wrenched it from its
high plane of honor and stained it's name
among men. They have learned it's sa-
cred arts that they might play small
games with truth. This class of men
search old records and make painful con-
fusions out of misplaced commas. They
find in accidental hurts fine fields for
speculation, and have their flush times in
periods of many accidents. They depend
more on the passion of juror than they
dare risk to the claims Of truth. The
legal demagogue has created mistrust
in the integrity Of civil Justice and
tempted men to wicked devices to secure
it. Robert O. Burton was no party to
such schemes and hurtful tendencies, and
if, in the public mind, there is a growing
distrust of courts and the legal prof2-
sion, no blame can be charged to him.
He did not find his chances, financial
chances, in bad Fluctuations, broken
limbs, and nfiamed Jurors. Some one
said, Burton is too good to be law
yer" Probably he was if lawyer is ex-
pected to do as some do who have license
to practice law and are not able to dis
Germ the difference between law and
trckery; but he never thought himself
good enough to practice it, not because
he was extremely modest but because he
had such exalted ideas of it. His life
is loud call to lawyers and laymen to
save this sacred profession from the
shame that bad men may bring on it.
There is no reason why it should not be
as sacredly guarded against Dissertation
as the ministry of the gospel school
of law bearing the name of r. O. Burton
and standing for his spirit and ideals
would be defense of truth and a throne
of justice. No man who knew him will
dare say that he was less than an ideal
lawyer.
EurtOn was at himself for the last time
before a jury, and though no one knew
it, yet every man could but feel that he
had reached a good dying point, and
since his death the speech on that Occa-
sion stands as worthy exit Of him from
the scenes of his profession. He went
from the court room drenched with perS-
piration, shaken by the tremendous strain,
and carrying pale face, though his
spirit was still in the contention. To the
last, though with fever, he stood at his
post, and when he could do no more, he
quietly went to his home, took his bed
to battle against a sickness that had the
advantage over him. His friends were
anxious but not alarmed. One day he
proposed to go to the Rex Hospital that
his family might be relieved OF nursing

the idea, his unselfish concern for them
