SUCCESS IN FARMING,
>, n..,d, or the way the business
II Conducted and small
Things Are Done.

Success in farming depends on the
way the business is conducted' anu
on how well the small things arg
done. One Of the principal causes OF
failure in farming is going on IN .
haphazard kind of way, paying no ~
tention to the small things and Keep
ing no accounts of the outgo or IN
come. The few shingles that are on
the barn don't interfere any, only
when it rains, and rainy days are the
only times they have to do these oou
Jobs. being so busy other times WITH
big jobs. There may be a weak place
in the barn floor and some day an
animal will step through. It's only
a short piece of work to repair II
and will be attended to some day.
but that day never comes.
If one is to make a ucces at farm
ing he must pay strict attention TO
all these. odd jobs. He cannot be an
agent for everything that comes
along, go with a threshing machine
all the fall, or draw all the milk TO
the creamery for his neighbors. y
practicable for best results, he must
have his blowing done in the fall for
spring crops; never keep two hlrea
men when only one is needed. q
great many farmers keep n hired
man the year round, when his serv-
ices five or six months would be all
that is necessary. The manner IN
which the implements are used on
some farms bring a great loss to
the owner. They should be care
fully sheltered at all times when not
in use, and given a coat OF paint
when required. Keep posted on the
markets Of the future and sell ac-
cordingly.
In growing crops aim to raise what
the markets demand. All markets
are not alike and a close observation
of the demands of the customer, as
we'll as the seasons when certain
kinds Of farm produce is preferred
will give the farmer an advantage
which will enable him to secure bet
ter prices. Remember, it is the buyer
who is to be satisfied. If in market
ing poultry the onsum prefers
fowls with yellow legs, it is to the
producers interest to grow such. Tho
best breed for his purpose is that
which he finds will give the buyer
the greatest satisfaction, end what
is true of poultry also is true of a
great many other products of the
farm. = v. NJ. Couch, in Farmers
Voice.

The Special Crop Idea

The need Of adapting special crons
TO special localities and Of determin.
ing the fitness of the soil for their

I wonder what they're doin' these de-
lightful days out there,
Where the good old crispy feelin' m
a-stealin' through the air;
I can almost taste the cider that is
pourin' from the mill,
Seems as though I hear the rustic in the
corn shocks on the hill.
{ can seem to see the pun'kins gleamin'
yellow on the ground,
And the blossoms of the buckwheat with
the bees a-buzzin' round
I wonder if the apples of the old tree by
the gate
Have been gathered yet? They always
used to ripen rather late;
And, gee whiz, how good they tasted,
and what lots of juice they had,
And the smell that there was to EN-
that alone 'ud make you glad.
Oh, I'd like to be out yonder, where the
colts kick up n play,
And the folks keep on belivin' that the
Lord amt fur away.

Get to thinkin' of where I am-Wonder II
they ever care?
Oh, I s'pose the old spring bubbles just
as cool and just as clear
AS 1t use to fore l ever dreampt of COM
in way up here,
e1And the path down from the kitchen,
: s'pose it's there the am to-day,
And wore down as smooth and bare as
though I'd never come away.
I wonder if they ever notice my initials
where,
Long ago, I cut 'em into all the stable
doors out there?
And I wonder when they see 'em If they
ever think of me,
And would like to see me back there
where the winds a-blowin' free,
Where the hick'ry nuts come tumblin
with a rattle from the limb,
An the Lords still near the people and
they still believe in Him?
s'pose the sumac's crimson and the ma
pies turnin' red,
Just as though I'd never left there with
big notions in my head,
And the cows I'll bet go wadin to the
middle of the stream,
AND stand there, kind Of solemn, and
look fur away and dream.
Not a thing has stopped out yonder just
because 1 left one day,
And If I'd go back the city'd never
know I'd been away.

heard your conversation in the Vene-
tian chamber. Had you gone away
with her, it is terrible to think of
the position in which you might have
been placed"
AS 1 listened to his words, my blood
froze in my veins.
GLOW can I know whether you
are telling me the TRUTH" I asked,
still suspicious of the stranger.
"You cannot tell" he replied, "un-
til you are given proofs. We are go
ing to drive to the police-station,
where you will find the real Mrs.
Shepperton, who has been recalled to
the neighborhood, and warned Of the
intrigue"
I began to tremble violently, but
still kept fast hold on the check, de-
termined to give it to no one but the
real Mrs. Shepperton herself.
81 don't wonder you believed In
that evil woman" continued the
stranger. "She has completely de-
ceived her confiding old. mistress.
Presently when we bring them face
to face with each other on the rail-
way station, there will be little or
no doubt in Mrs. shepperton's mind"
I could hardly bear the suspense
till the carriage drew up in front of
the police station, and I followed
the tall man through the gateway.
In a little room I espied a paldL
trembling figure. An old lady in
costly array, with exquisite furs and
and dainty laces, eyed me c%uriously
as I entered. For a moment 1 stared
at her open-mouthed-the white side
curls, the arched eyebrows, were all
so like the Mrs. Shepperton with
whom I had conversed not an hour
ago.
Until 1 had arrived, she had still
hoped there might be some mistake;
but my amazement at seeing her
proved the truth Of the detectives
story.
"Why do you look at me so strange
ly?" she asked. perhaps you have
seen somebody like me?"
She placed her shaking hand on
my ARM, and I noticed a tear rolling
down her withered cheek. I spread
out the check on the table before
her, and she peered at it %curiously
through her glasses. In as few
words as possible I explained what
had occurred.
'Then it is true?" she gasped, in
q broken voice. "And I would have

She staggered to the door.
"We have to go to the railroad
station she said. SIT will be an aw-
full moment indeed"
I turned to the inspector pleading
ly.
"May Mrs. shepperton not return
to Stanley House without seeing that
wicked woman again?" I begged.
"Surely you and your men can ar
rest this imposter without giving
this poor lady the pain of an en-
counter?'
She threw me a grateful glance as
I made the suggestion.
"Of course, if Mrs. Shepperton pre-
fers it," said the Inspector, some
what aggrieved that she should wish
to forgo the excitement of catching
the thief red-handed.
ST am very grateful to you," said
the tremulous old voice, as, Selling
Il reprieve, we e drawn slowly
back up the long, steep hill. II feel
you have had a great disappoint-
ment; but, remember, at the same
time you have been mercifully de-
livered from very grave things"
J. bowed my head at the solemn
words. My heart was too full at
that moment to speak.
A restful sensation come over me
as we turned in at the old stone
gateway. 1t was to be duty, not
pleasure, and I began to think per-
haps duty was the better after ALL

The Wrong Woman.

By Winifred Graham.
AM quite a young girl, and a lady
librarian by profession.

rs 0o o-
! librarian by profession.
While travelling to various coun
try houses, I have met with many
strange adventures, though indexing
musty old libraries sounds dry as
dust to the casual ear.
Being n of a large family, ]
revel in the relaxation of work, by
which I escape ..the trivial round, the
common task" though often I pine
for riches, ease, and chiffon.
One bright sunny morning I met
an old friend of my father's-Mr.
J~essop-who often recommends me
to book-collecting friends.
my DEAR" he said, Give a little job
for you, if you like to take it on"
My eyes %glistened, for at the mo-
ment I was sout Of work"
"Ithave mentioned you to a delight
full old LADY," he continued, Giving
in a beautiful country house. She
is anxious to have her splendid IL
brary c~atalogued by a professional.
| warn you she is eccentric, but in a
very nice way-so good and kind to
everybody, and especially fond of
girls"
I thanked him heartily, declaring I
loved eccentric people.
"Then I will ask her to write to
you," he said.
Sure enough, a few days later I re-
ceived a request to visit Stanley
House. But the letter brought with
it a n of disappointment, for Mrs.
Shepperton informed me she was go
ing for a short tour abroad, SO I
could not see her.
II have a very nice housekeeper,"
she wrote, 'swho will look after your
comfort. I hope you will make your
self quite at home. The carriage
shall meet you at the station"
On my arrival I was greeted with
a ~pleasurable surprise. A lady in
purple velvet, with a beautiful lace
mantilla swathing her white hair,
came across the hall to greet me.
She had quaint side curls, and a be-
nign expression. One or two ex-
quisite jewels glittered in her laces.
my DEAR" she said, drawing me
to the fire, Il never expected to have
the pleasure of seeing you, but I
have had great trouble with my SER
wants the last day or two. My house
keeper, upon whom I absolutely rely,
has been called away to the bedside
OF a dying friend; and, owing to an
unfortunate die ouraor,o
the domestics, I find myself very
shorthanded. I have therefore put
off my visit until tomorrow, when
my housekeeper returns. I felt it
was not quite safe to leave this es-
tablishment with no one to keen
order"
l tried to be very sympathetic, for
the old lady attracted me.
She looked at me very a%dmiringly.
now and again dropping a compii-
ment that sent the blood tingling to
my cheeks.
She told me I talked well, declar-
inggsit was a pity I had not seen more
of the world. I said that I was one
of a large family, and therefore I'M
able to travel. She drew from me
involuntarily many of my hopes and
aspirations.
"We will have our Coffee" she said,
in the Venetian chamber. You are
sure to lose your way at frst.in this
house, it is SO queerly built. There
