NEVER, thought Bessie Ayres. had
IN she been in so unpleasant a
predicament. Her purse was gone;
it was not in her muff, nor yet
in either pocket of her jacket.
When, where or how she had
lost it she had not the least idea; not
that that mattered much, except the
disagreeaole fact that she was in the
street car, miles from home, with the
rain outside falling in q steady drizzle,
and that she had not five cents where.
with to pay her fare. What could she,
what would she do?
evil the conductor put me off?" she
said to herself, cor will he trust me for
my fare, if promise to mail it to him
as soon as get home. He must know
papa by name," and then she thought
that if he doubted her honesty in one
respect, he would do SO in all, and
might not believe that she was Judge
Ayres' daughter. "Well, he may put
me off If he likes. I can go to drug
store and telephone for cab" Then
her face grew blank with the recoHec-
ton that in order to telephone she
must have twice the amount needed
for car fare. AS the thought drove her
sense of helplessness home afresh, she
looked up involuntarily and caught
two blue-gray eyes fixed on her, and
twinkhng with amusement. She turned
pink with vexation. Thinks it funny,
does hep" she thought. II just wish
he were in my placed"
The young man, standing near,
looked away instantly. When he
boarded the car Bessie had at once at
tracted his attention as an unusually
pretty girl, and he had watched the
little pantomime with interest, think
ing, meanwhile, that he had rarely seen
so expressive a face.
"Poor little GIRL" he thought, pity
ingly. "She looks as though she ex-
pected to be arrested. Evidently she is
not used to taking care of herself; be-
lated by accident, NO doubt, or has had
her pocket picked"
The fash of resentment which lit
her eyes, as they caught his, confirmed
his ideas as to her social standing, and
completed his amusement at her
plight. He turned his back and faced
the conductor, who was rapidly APP
preaching. The sound Of the bell. as
the fares were rung up, Jared Bessie's
nerves.
"Fare!"
She parted her lips, but before she
could speak: "Two," said her neigh
Dor, handing the man dime, and the
dreaded crisis was past.
For a moment Bessie fancied that
the conductor had overlooked her in
the crowd-the car was packed to the
utmost. Nor was it until she saw the
stranger, whose observation had an
noyed her, making his way towards the
other end of the car, that, finding him
alone, she understood that he had paid
for her as the other one of the "two."
The discovery not only found her I'M
grateful, 1t filed her with indigna-
ton. The one thing needed to COM
plete her annoyance was that a young
man, with whom she was totally unac-
ouainted, should treat her as an OBJ
iect of charity. How dared he do such

Monkeys and Sugar Cane.

Some years ago, when in charge OF
the Mauritius government railways.
trains of sugar canes, loaded in OPEN
sided trucks, were worked over a Sec
ton of the line from the plantations
to the usine centrale, some miles dis
tant, and the three first miles of the
single-line railway passed through
forest with trees quite close to the
rails, up q very steep gradient and
around sharp curves. When the first
down-passenger train from Port Louis
had passed the crossing station, the
loaded cane train was dispatched to-
ward the summit. In the meantime.
some monkeys in the forest had timed
the passage of the descending pas
senger train. and mad fixed sentinels,
who signaled to their expectant COM
rades on the trees the approach OF
the cane train. AS the train went
crawling up the incline a troop OF
monkeys sprang upon each wagon,
ten forming the train. and threw on
q goodly number of canes, which were
gathered up as the train slowly
passed onward. These depredations
became so serious that the planters
appointed a Waterman to patrol this
''length," but the "malgaches" have
a superstitious dread of killing mon
kew, which they term "di monde
meme" in creole. The looting OF
these marauders was, however, ulti-
mately stopped by other means

The wheat to Plant.

"What kind of seed shall sow2" is a
question the Importance of which is
moderated by many farmers. Seed
wheat should be pure, that is, of one
variety. 1t should be we'll matured,
full grown and free from smut or other
parasitic or fungoid growths. 1t should
also BIO free from weed seeds, especial
ly chess, which, being exceedingly
hardy and prolific, will take the field if
it has half chance, and is exceedingly
difficult to eradicate when once it has
infested a neighborhood. Poor, shriv-
elled wheat, if sufficiently matured to
sprout, will, under favorable conditions,
produce a good crop, but will surely
cause the variety to "run out" in very
few years if continued sowing OF in
ferior stuff be INDUCED in.
A farmer should have seed patch
on which TO grow wheat for seed.
This should be given the best of care,
should be plowed deep and early, kept
free from weeds, use the best varieties
and the purest seed, and from the pro-
ducts of this SOW the larger fields.
Plant different varieties and SOW the
general fields only with such as have
proved themselves suited to the locality.
Buy new seed from time to time and in
that manner grow the very best quality
and largest quantity. Changing seed
from one locality to another is desirable
even from one neighborhood to an
other; still better from distant parts
usually from northern localities to
southern is better than from southern
to more northern.-C. b. Hoffman, in

nd. If the land is poor or needs
rest, throw over it liberal supply of
clover at the rate of one bushel to
eight or ten acres, after spring opens.

then is IL e proper time TO SOW. III it
is to be sowed with spring grain, SOW
just before the second narrowing.
Spring or fall wheat, rye, barley or
peas are much better than oats as a
nurse crop for clover. AS a general
thing oats are too thick on the ground
and have so many blades on them that
the clover grows weak and spindling,
and if not smotherad to death
before the oats are cut the
sun will kill the plants. When
sown with other grain the clover will
often have rank growth and will

Bees and Ripe Fruit.

have just come from a very impor-
tant meeting OF the New York State
Association OF Bee-Keepers' Societies.
! will not attempt at this time to give
O report, but merely state that two pro-
fessors from the Geneva Experiment
Station were present, and gave us some
mostsss valuable proof to the effect that
spraying during blooming time is not
only detrimental to the development
OF pollen, but does most most decidedly
cut down the output of fruit.
Teere was one paper or address from
DIR. Fletcher, Of the experiment farm,
Ottawa, that was listened to with the
closest attention, more especially as it
related to vital subject, namely, the
question of bees in orchards, and
whether they injure fruit or not. He
said that the subject had doubtless been
discussed by the council, owing to
1.-The great lawsuits which were now
attracting the attention Of the bee
keepers in the United States and
Canada. The case of Mr.. Spar
ling, which had only yesterday been
given in his favor, and the case Of Utter
brothers of Amity, N. Y, had been
watched carefully, as it was thought
that these would be taken as prece-
dents. He pointed out the advantage
of every member of the association
, keeping well posted in all matters
bearing directly upon the subject of
whether it is possible for bees to in
jure fruit or not. 1t had been claimed
in both of these cases that several
things which every beekeeper knew
were utterly impossible had been
done. He was neither beekeeper nor
fruit grower, but he was keenly in
terested in finding out what were the
actual facts with regard to the alleged

Avoiding Disease.

A swine raiser, speaking at dairy
convention, said:
"a neighbor of mine who has been
raising hogs for many years told me
that he lost his whole herd by buying
few hogs, thereby bringing disease
on to his farm. Until the mass of swine
raisers have clearer knowledge of the
laws of sanitation we may expect dis
ease among our swine. One negligent
man may by carelessness and filth start
disease among our swine that may
sweep other herds and soon become an
epidemic. The public suffers by the
carelessness or lack of knowledge OF
one man. Negligence by one may
cause loss to many. When will the
average farmer learn to treat hog
humanely? 1t will put dollars into his
pocket that now rattles with the chink
OF pennies or is 80 empty that it fails
to rattle at all. The time, am happy
to say, is rapidly passing on many of

sleeping quarters imaginable reeking
filth, an abundance Of food today and
nothing tomorrow were often his only
sh are of the proceeds from the abun-
dance of broad acres, well-tilled fields
and OVERLOOKING granaries.
Negligence, Incidence and filth are
the offspring of ignorance, and the dis
eases to which swine are subject take
their epidemic form in localities and on
farms where the laws of health are ig-
nored and nature is enforced to inflicl
the penalty of her violated laws. AS
the laws of isease and of health are the
same In animal life, it is fair to assume
that the diseases that sweep away oul
hogs are largely the sequence of the
lack of knowledge on the part OF people
who keep them. The outbreaks of any
of the pestilential diseases may seen

that it is mysterious providence.

injuries to fruits by insects. He had
studied the matter carefully for great
many years, and from all he had been
able to see and learn from the writ
ipgs of reliable observers there
had been no case of actual injury
to uninjured fruit proved which
was undoubtedly due in the first
case to bees. He showed diagram of
the mouth parts OF the bee and the
wasp, and explained the use of each.
He was under the Impression that near
ly all of the injuries attributed to bees
was begun in the first place by wasps,
ants or some other iJsec; or bird.
He was quite sure that bees
did not injure fruit, however ripe it
might be, unless the skin was actually
cracked beforehand, either with their
msndibles or tongues or stings. Many
of the enlightened fruit growers know
only too we'll the enormous advantage
of having bees near their orchards,
and some actually keep bees in their
orchards simply for the benefit of bees
working on the flowers. He felt sure
that fuller knowledge of the actual hab-
its of the bees would bring about a bet
ter understanding between fruit grow
ers, and would be OF enormous edvar-
tage both to them and beekeepers,
whose interests were identicAlly the
same.-(Gleanings, in Bee Culture.

AGRICULTURAL.
Plenty Of Water Essential for Fatten-
ing Cattle,

The successful feeder knows the val
ne Of having good water within easy
reach of his cattle. When steers are
doing their best they acquire a disease
which we may call laziness and there
fore it is very essential that water be
near at hand at all time. If not, they
will endure the pain of thirst for some
time rather than move about much to
quench it, If water is handy they will
drink from three to five times daily,
while on the other hand, if it is neces-
sary TO slip down a steep creek bank
and wade in the mud in order to get TO
the water's edge, they will drink only
once or twice daily, and of course all
they can hold each time. Probably
no bad effects would be noticed,
yet the best results are not to be
expected when such conditions ex-
list. Tanks are used by most stockmen
and in this way water is brought with
in easy reach of the cattle. Yet dur
ing the winter months it is no little
chore to keep the ice broken 30 they
may drink when they are thirsty. Be-
sides, it is clear to all that an animal
can not make the best gains when it
must push away the pieces of ice in or
der to get sip of the freezing water,
and after having just partially quench-
ed its thirst stand shivering in the
wind. Here again the fattening steer
will not drink the required amount Of
water to produce the best results, be-
cause the water is too cold, it is not pal
atable, it makes the teeth ache, chills
the animal, and retards digestion for
time. There is no better investment
for man who intends to feed cat
tie during the winter than to buy
a tank heater. These heaters have
been used successfully and with
good results at the Kansas state agri
cultural college. One will be all that
is needed in q tank large enough to
water from forty to sixty head of cat
tie. 1t consists Of cast-iron, air-tight
stove with the draft at the top, and is
fastened to the tank in the water. 1t
should be set high enough so the water
will not run in at the lid on top when
the tank is full. A heater of this kind
will keep fire all The time, and need at
tention only morning and night, when
q little stirring and putting in of
a few shovels of coal will be all
that is necessary. A box of coal
may be kept near the tank and
thus it will require but little every
four or five days, and this is best
accomplished by taking the heater up,
pouring out the ashes, and then re-
placing it, One heater will burn from
eighteen to twenty pounds of coal daily,
and no ice will form in the tank if
properly handled. In this way the
water can be kept at temperature
from forty degrees to fifty degrees F.
at little expense. The cattle will drink
more water, and as water is cheap, the
more that is used in building up the
animals body the cheaper will be the
gain and the juicier the meat. The
cattle will keep in better health, and
this is very important, because an an
imal in poor health will not make prof
liable gains.-O. H. Filing, in Prairie
Farmer.
