my mind-I must get that fish 10 shore.
The trees on shore began 10 move in a

despair. He was od-the curve on

curve was a forlorn hope-the down
curve was perfect assurance. l knew
my fish would never escape me. BY
all the laws of dramatic unity and po-
etc justice he was mine. For in his
gaping mouth ! read a startling revel-
alton. He was bringing back those
two hooks! He struck the water in

Emile Decroix, a veterinary surgeon

paganda he interviewed the prefect

hippophagous butchery, in the Place

Paris that caused the flesh OF horses

Getting Larger Yields OF Wheat.

At one OF the experiment stations
wheat was tested in plots, under va
rious modes OF cultivation. and il was
found that when the seeds were care
fully selected, planted in rows. and
cultivated with hand implements. the
yield was at the rate OF sixty bushels
per acre, and a case is on record in
England where a farmer planted wheat
in rows one foot apart, the grains six
inches apart in the rows. cultivating
the rows and using hoes between the
plants, securing 100 bushels OF wheat
per acre. which case, however, Is an
exception. The English field was Gov
cred six inches with manure, which
was well worked in the soil. the season
also being favorable. In Belgium 1t
Is not unusual TO grow sixty bushels
Of wheat per acre. The land is made
rich. Fertilizers are used literally. and
close cultivation is given. While il Is
not often that our farmers exceed tbir-
ty-five bushels per acre. yet the expert
ments made demonstrate what is pos
sible TO accomplish with fertile soils
and better methods Of cultivation,

fastening, as is cXampled in a stylish
model made up in pink madras. Both
sides of the front are cut in deep seal

three scallops on the left of the front
and two on the right, so that when the
