had q strange kind of fOreboding about
her.
II WONDER" she said to Sir Raoul,
III some people do bring misfortune
with them. have an idea that Lady
Hamilton will bring evil to me-
Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in
his simple chivalrous fashion that
beautiful woman could bring only sun
shine and happiness; but the young
countess sighed
Helen of Troy did not bring much
sunshine" she said, land she was
beautiful enough"
But" objected Sir Raoul, there is
difference; Lady Hamilton has not
her fatal loneliness. Times have al
| tered; no woman's face, I think, will
ever cause another thirty years. war;"
The young countess resolved upon
being armed at all points. Her maid
felt that at length her mistress was
doing justice to herself. She was that
evening very difficult to please-no
dress was pretty enough; she chose one
at length of purple velvet, long, grace
full, and made after picturesque fash
ion that Hildred particularly affected
cut square so as to show the beautiful
neck and shoulders, with wide hang
ing sleeves, fastened with diamond
knot on the shoulder-a dress that was
the triumph of good taste; no ribbon,
no flowers, no ornaments nor trim
mings marred its grand simplicity. She
wore nothing but diamonds with it
small tiara that crowned the queenly
head, necklace round the white
throat, a small cross on the white
breast, and bracelet on one of her
beautifully nodded arms. Nothing
better or simpler taste.
Sir Raoul looked delighted when he
saw her. Lady Hamilton may be very
fair" he thought, "but she will not
look like Hildred."
The earl did not notice either her
face or her LESS; he admired her skill,
her genius, but he was certainly not in
love with his young wife,
1t was with some little curiosity that
the young countess went to meet her
guest. Lady Hamilton had been shown
into pretty little boudoir, where she
awaited her hostess; and these two
women wno were so strangely to cross
each others lives looked almost eager
| ly at each other.
Lady Caraven saw before her tall,
graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunny
eyes and golden hair were bright and
beautiful, whose red lips smiling show
ed teeth like pearls. After returning
in the most musical of voices the greet
ings of her hostess, she requested that
she might be shown to her room.
She was in some measure just what
Lady Caraven had expected to see. She
appeared in the drawing-room two
minutes before the announcement of
dinner was made, and then Hildred ex-
amined her more critically. Her en-
trance made a sensation amongst the
gentlemen. Hildred stood watching
the scene, watching the pretty maneu-
ters of the royalty beautiful coquette,
and how soon they took effect.
Hildred sighed as she turned away
This was the kind of beauty that her
husband loved-blonde, tall and grace.

She Insists Upon Having Her Own Way
In Everything.
In st. Nicholas there is an account of
an Angora cat named "Pussinella,"
who belongs to little Italian girl, the
daughter of one of King Humbert's
aides. The cat was born in the OUR
inal, and was gift to the little girl
from Queen Marguerite. The writer
says: Pussinella's every whim and
humor are considered, and she has
many especially about her eating; no
princess was ever half so fastidious or
exacting, or gave so much trouble by
her capricious appetite. One day she
will have only cooked meat, another
only raw, still another none at all, but
only fowl or birds. In Genoa, she had
her own particular corner in the din
ing-room, with little carpet on which
her plate was set; but she did not al
ways eat there-no, indeed! II the
day was bright and sunny, she prefer
red the terrace, or the drawing-room
as her mood might be. She would
walk ahead, looking back to see II she
were being followed, until she got to
the spot where she wished her meal,
and there she would stop. She was al
ways obeyed as. respectfully as any
royal queen, for her commands were
usually enforced by such frantic cries
or ominous growls, that all feared to
gainsay her, or preferred to keep the
peace. The kitchen was in the upper
story Of the house, and when Pussinel-
la wished anything extra to eat, she
would go upstairs to the door, put her
head in and new, and then turn and
walk down, while the cook followed
with the food. The kitchen was no

Crops for Reclaimed Marshes.

drops Tor Reclaimed Marshes.
From the Farmers Review: In refer
ence to the questions asked by one of
your Wisconsin correspondents, I
would say: Considerable work has been
zone in this state on these black.
marsh soils and much remains to be
done. 1t has been a rather general
experience of those who have drained
and broken these lands that while
profitable crops were grown the first
year, and In some cases for the first
few years, the crops of succeeding
years were constantly poorer and poor
er. Experiments both in Europe and
IN this state have shown that very fire.
ouently, but not always these soils will
give very good results when fertilized
with potash, either in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers or in the form of
wood ashes. Farmyard manure has
also been found to be very helpful. In
some experiments conducted at Madi-
son the application of potassium sui
phate has given more than four times
the yield of ear corn grown on infer
tilted land. Your correspondent will
find these experiments described in de-
tail in the annual report of this station
for 1900. In regard to crops which are
best grown on this soil, 1 must say
that no systematic work has as yet
been done. When we'll fertilized with
farm manure, rape, corn and timothy
have given fair crops. In draining
these peaty marshes it is desirable in
many cases to put in open bitches
which may be left for few years un-
til the peat has somewhat decomposed
and then the clay tile may be placed.
IT this is not done, the settling of the
peat on draining will give rise to two
difficulties; first, the tiles will be dis
torted and in some cases pulled down
SO low that no drainage can take place,
and, second, the settling down of the
marsh will often leave the tiles so near
the surface that they interfere with
cultivation. After drainage, it is usu-
ally best to simply harrow the ground
with spring tooth harrow rather than
plow it owing to the loose nature of
the ground itself.-A. R. Whitson, Wis
consin Agricultural College.

THEY WORKED TOGETHER.

No one was more gratiied than Sir

edictions were fulfilled.

But he was not misled; he saw ex-

Prairie Hay as Dairy Feed.

The prairie hay growing in the
northwest has been thoroughly tested
with dairy cows in practical feeding
and digestion experiments. Its COM
position and digestibility depends upon
the character of the land with refer
ence to moisture. That grown on low,
damp land is termed prairie swale,"
and contains 2.6 per cent digestible
protein. That grown on medium low
land and being a mixture of that
grown on higher and lower lands, con-
tains 80 per cent digestible protein,
while that grown on upland contains
8 per cent protein. In feeding early
cut, properly cured prairie hay, there
is no loss in waste, as COWS take it all:
and on this account it is most sat
isfactory food. In compromising ra-
tons containing prairie hay for rough
age, little farm-grown grain can be,
used, because of the low protein con-
tent, unless the grain is supplemented
by some mill products containing much
protein.
When corn is relatively low in price,
it is desirable to use as much as possi-
BILE in the ration.

We believe that 1t will pay many
OF our readers to investigate what are
called the trap nests" These nests,
as most of our readers know, are made
SO that hen about to lay goes in and
the entrance is automatically closed.
After laying she goes out Of another
door into another yard. The layers are
thus kept separate from those that do
no laying. The idea is variously mod
fled. The man that wants to improve
the laying qualities of his fowls will
find some form Of this nest Of assist
ance. There are some expensive pat
ented trap nests and there are others
used that are not patented and Of small
cost. Oth-ss can be made at home.
