and love between men and women. We
soon found that we had many tastes in

strongest of all congenial bonds-the
love of books. In fact, we had come to

love of reading. for he also had gone to
Master Cavendish, who had fine libra

with him down to Greenwich.
Brandon Informed me he was to go
to Greenwich that day; so we determin-

new to him, and then take boat in time
to be at the palace before dark.
That evening, upon arriving at Green
witch, we hunted up Brandon's uncle,
the master of horse who invited his
nephew to stay with him for the night.
He refused, however, and accepted an
invitation to take bed in my room.
The next day Brandon was installed
as one of the captains of the kings
guard, under his uncle, but with no
particular duties except such as should
be assigned him from time to time. He
was offered a good room OH one of the
lower floors but asked instead to be
lodged in the attic next to me- SO we
arranged that each had room opening

tendency to salivate disappears and

men buy the seeds and plant them

Seed should be sown in late spring

the moist, protected soils of partial

USE OF WIDE TIRES.
Matter THAT Is of Vital Interest to
the Preservation of Roads in
Good Condition..

One of the greatest aids to better
roads is the use of wider tires on
the wagons. No matter what kind
of material is used for the construc-
ton of the road, the width of the
tire is of vital Importance. 1t is also
vastly to the interest of almost every
farmer from an economic standDoint
to have at least a three or four inch
tirein place of the old ia shioned narrow
tire. The loads will draw more easily
about his fields and on almost all
kinds of roads. The wide tired
wheels are much stronger and more
lasting and present much less trouble
in the shape of loose tires. In many
sections their economic advanta ges
are being recognized and they are
rapidly replacing the narrow tire.
This transition should be FASTENED
as rapidly as possible. All new pur-
chases should be of the wide sort.
So thoroughly has the relation of
wide tires to good roads been recog-
nized abroad that laws have been
passed regulating the width of tires.
In Germany fourinch tires are re-
quired. In France traffic tires must
be from three to ten inches wide, ac-
cording to the weight of the load,
and the front axle must be shorter
than the rear axle, to prevent track
ing" In Austria wagons carrying
more than two and a quarter tons
are required to have tires at least
four and one-third inches wide and
every load over four and a half tons
must be carried on tires of six and
one-fourth inches in width.-Prairie

Farms In Dismal Swami.

A group of Ohio capitalists, incor-
porated as the Virginia Land and
Lumber company, has purchased TO-
900 acres of land in Dismal Swamp
from the Wallace company. They
have made complete plans to clear
up and drain the land, expecting to
sell it to settlers from Ohio. They
have already constructed a large
lumber mill and are employing a hun

farms will exist where now there are
only tangled swamps. The land is
