CHAPTER IL

Looking back upon that time, now Il is
past, and has rounded itself into that
perfect star saw not when dwelt there
in," it would be untrue to represent N.Y.
self as in any way unhappy. At times
l wished earnestly that l had been born
among the people with whom had now
come to live.
Tardif led somewhat solitary life
himself, even in this solitary island, with
its scanty population. There was an ugly
church, but Tardif and his mother did
not frequent it. They belonged to a
little knot of dissenters, who met for
worship in a small room, when Tardif
generally took the lead. For this reason
sort of coldness existed between him
and the larger portion of his fellow isl
anders.
But there was second and more I'M
portant cause Of estrangement. He had
married an Englishwoman many years
ago, much to the disappointment OF his
neighbors; and since her death he had
held himself aioof from all the good WON.
en- who would have been glad enough to
undertake the task of consoling him fol
her loss. Tardif, therefore, was left
very much to himself in his isolated cot
tage; and his mothers deafness caused
her also to be no very great favorite with

which killed 100 out of 200 bucks fed on
hay, and in 1893 some 1900 sheep from
eating ripe lupine on the range. The
trouble seems to be in the ripe or near
" ripe seed. The purple and tall lark
spur killed 40 cattle in the Gallatin
Valley when other plants were covered
with snow; aconite, water hemlock and
nightshade have proved poisonous to
both man and beast. In 1898, dairy
man had field of oats so badly smut
ted that he cut them for hay instead
of letting the grain ripen. Out of 30
cows which were given one feed of 1t,

number of horses In from six to eight
hours, the muscles of the throat being
paralyzed first, and then the whole body
paralyzed. Strychnine and whisky seem
to be the only remedy having effect.

smut on any grass or grain.-Exchange.

Farm Fences.

Bad fences have been trouble to
every rural community from the earli-
est history to the present day. Neigh
borhood rows and feuds and aggrayat-
ing litigation and even bloodshed have
resulted from defective fences. Wood
en- fences, whether of rails. poles or
boards, are standing menace to the
public peace wherever they exist, and
but little better is wire fence that
does not effectively serve its purpose.
There are nowadays a large number
of patterns of wire fences ready made
and sold in rolls ready to be unrolled
and nailed to posts. Some of these are
good, and some are better, and some are
almost perfect. A really good wire
fence may cost more to begin with
than a wooden one, but on account OF
its durability alone it is far cheaper.

Agricultural Chemistry estimated sew
enty pounds of cabbage to have about
the same value as four pounds of oil
cake, twelve pounds Of pea straw, six
teen pounds clover hay, twenty pounds
Of meadow hay, no pounds of oat
straw or 120 pounds of turnips. This
last we think he bases upon the fiat or
English turnip, which are not as nu-
tritious as the rutabaga. The value of
the cabbages, as Of the roots, is best

Destroying English Sparrow.


A paper published In New South
Wales, Australia, tells how farmers de.
stroy English sparrows out there. They
make double coop and put one or
more fowl or chickens in one compart-
ment, leaving the other empty. When
feeding they scatter little wheat in
the empty compartment, which is soon
found by the sparrows. After about a
week they soak the wheat in vinegar
and sugar. After the sparrows become
accustomed to this, they add little
strychnine to the vinegar and sugar,
and allow the wheat to soak about
twelve hours, then dry it and scatter it
in the empty coop. One or two grains
is enough to finish any sparrow, and If
1t is given every day at the same place
in the same way, and dead birds re-
moved if any die in the COOP hundreds
Of them may be destroyed, but If the
dead are left it may frighten away the

roDAY's MARKETS.
Rumors Of Damage to Crops Greatly
Exaggerated.

Special to Daily Leader.
New York, June 1.-THE selling Of
stocks since the middle of last week
has to considerable extent been pre-
dicted upon reported deterioration in
the condition of the growing crops.
The government crop report issued
yesterday afternoon confirms this
fact, but is is evident from the report
that many of the rumors that the crop
damage has been exaggerated. AS
regards spring wheat, a considerable
reduction in acreage Is estimated but
this Is offset by a much higher per
centage of average condition on June
1st as compared with a year ago. Win
ter wheat shows a considerable de-
cline in condition from May IS, but a
much better condition on June 1st a
year AGO and a really important i'm.
provement over the percentage Of the
mean average cond' m of the last 10
years. The average coalition OF oats
Is not as favorable when compared
with prev ious years, but there is a
comparatively small percentage Of de-
crease time average sown when this
crease in the average sown when this
those of last year. In the main it
seems to be agreed in the grain trade
that the government report is much
more favorable than had been expect
ed. It may also be noted that some
improvement has been brought about
since June LIST by rains and better
weather conditions generally in the
