Root Crona for Stock,

There Is not q farmer in business
but who can readily spare an acre or
two Of ground on which to grow root
crops. If he has any number Of heads
Of stock he will find that he can not
grow anything on the farm to greater
into root crops. Mangel wurZels are
among the easiest of the root crops
to grow and they will grow on any
soil IL the soil is properly prepared.
The seed bed should be deep and har-
roWed several times after thorough
blowing. Seeds should be drilled in
and from two to four pounds Of seed
an acre will be required. The space
between rows should be kept free from
weeds and when the plants are three
or four inches high they should be
thinned out SO that they will stand
fifteen inches apart.
1t will be necessary to keep the field
hoed or cultivated until the plants get
strong enough to overcome any weed
growth. After this no care is neces-
sary until fall harvest. Under this
sort of cultivation it is possible to grow
from 600 to 1000 bushels on an acre,
according to the condition Of the soil.
Carrots and turnips can be easily rails
ed on the same plan, although for gen
eral feeding the mangels are, perhaps,
more desirable.

CHAPTER TIT.

1t was on the night of the adventure
OF Count Louis that two men might have
Deen seen emerging from the forest and
directing their steps in the road to the
cottage Of Hugh Lamonte, which Louis
had left some ten minutes previously.
One of these, the elder, was a tall,
sturdy man, dressed in the coarse garb of
a peasant, and his features were by no
means displeasing. At present, they wore
look Of deep thought, an air almost of
Sternness, as he walked rapidly, and in
silence, listening to his companion, who
was speaking in low, but bitter and an
CRY tones, and evidently on some exciting
subject.
This man, whose dress was much the
same as that Of the first, had less pre-
possessing appearance than the other.
Like that Of his companion, his counte-
nance was unshorn and rude; but the eX-
preston Of the features was sinister and
forbidding, the features themselves,
apart from their expression, anything
but agreeable. You might have been
assured a thousand times that he was
nothing more or less than a simple and
honest peasant, as he was generally I'M
derstood to be; but for all that, you
would have disliked to meet this man on
the highway at midnight, or in the
depths of the forest from which he had
just emerged.
81 tell you," he was saying, vcngc-
fully-"I tell you, if have but the pow
er, l will make him pay dear for this;
two of our best fellows disabled, and my
own brains nearly knocked out by that
arm of his. Who would think it had so
much strengthY'
"Chut, Gaspardev said the other, a
little sternly; ''do you want to show your
claws? Better speak a little lower, if
you don't want to put your neck in dan
ger. One can never tell how many ears
there may be in these bushes along here"
Il can shut them up, unless they be-
long to another like the one that dealt
with me to-nighta. | shall feel his fist
for little while to come"
"DO you want to put yourself in the
way of feeling it AGAIN."
"Wait till l get on his track the next
time. I'll cure him of his impudence"
Better hold your tongue, comrade.
Why didn't you cure him tonight ?--three
to one, and beaten at that! A fine story
to tell the menu
"Who knew he had his pistols? He
must have found out before he started
that somebody had drawn his teeth. All,
he bit with them, can tell you! If we
had dozen like him in the band, it
would be worth something, captain. AS
it is, I'll take care he doesn't do us any
harm, now that he has got off. If you
had been there tonight, instead of mind
ing something else, we might have sung
a different tune; but now all the way to
mend matters is to give him a little mu-
sic to dance to-"
"Blockhead!' muttered the elder, with
a frown.
"What do you say, then, captain p
asked his companion.
Nothing, Gasparde. But here we are.
and the light is burning in the window
as they reached the cottage.
"And Mademoiselle Rose waiting for
her father, no doubt" added the other.

fess I had rather have it from you than
any other, almost. But, now, how have
things been going on here since l saw
you? and how is my fair cousin?"
''For the first" answered the marquis,

affairs are in a state of prosperity, and
except, possibly, that Helen and are a
little lonely at times for want of COM
pany, we do very well. l need scarcely
say that | am sure We shall be all the
happier for your presence. For your 9th.
er question, Helen herself must be ap-
piled to when you see her this morning.
She was in excellent health yesterday,
at all events, and we watched together

concerning that adventure Of yours in the

but I desire to hear something relative
to your journey and your general well
fare; so let me hear it before our coffee is
ready"
The young man gave his uncle a sketch
of his haps and mishaps, to which the
good marquis listened very attentively,
and which occupied some few minutes,
when, just as he was finishing by men
tioning his application at the cottage for
shelter, Helen Montauban entered.
She was beautiful and self-possessed
as ever. A calm smile parted her lips

"My charming cousin" exclaimed the
young man. warmly, taking the offered
hand and kissing with deferential affec'

Helen, this is truly delightful am very
happy to behold you again. How do you

"Well, Monsieur Louis, l thank you

"You have, then, arrived at the chateau
at length, Louis? 1t is some time since
we saw you," she said, regarding hin
with polite interest.
Eyes; it is a long time, think, since
we met, and I could not deny myself the
pleasure of a visit to the chateau"

"A few drawbacks, such as travellers
must meet with at times, but nothing
very serious"
"My dear boy" said the marquis

For Watering Stock.

and left exposed for any length OF

not be the case, according to the in

pure water is furnished to the tank

attached 1t Is claimed that there is
no way by which the animal that is
drinking can make it foul. The wa.

due to unclean quarters. If the pigs
are constantly scratching they should
be closely examined for lice, and If the
vermin are found the pigs should be
taken from the pen and the latter thor

oughly and then whitewash it. The
pigs should also be scrubbed with
solution of sulphur or by using some
Of the sheep dips, Of which there are
many good ones on the market. IL no
lice are found on the pigs, then the
trouble generally comes from i'm
proper feeding of the SOW while she
is nursing. If this is thought to be
the case, cut the corn out of the ration
for the SOW and feed her largely ON

for the farm 1t is generally wise to
look after the merits Of each individ-
