"No. 1 amt achin' any place today,
only I'm dreadful tired. An every
once in awhile you an Nurse Powell
so a-slippin' an a-slippin' away from
me. an then feel like l was a-slippin'

Then p'haps I'd 20 to sleep again"
Nurse Powelrs quivering lips tried
TO form the notes of the nursery song
jimmy loved best. but something rose
in her throat and choked the melody.
Il wisht-you'd sing-that-sleepy
song"
The tired voice trailed off into 81
lence, but not before the heavy eyes
were raised appealingly to those of tho
white capped nurse.
The big doctor seemed to rouse him
SELF as from a dream. He leaned over
and ciasped Jinny's nerveless hand in
his great, warm one and then in a
clear tenor voice began to sing:
Sweet and low. sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea-"
The music fioated over the cot, past
Nurse Powell through the open door
and down the corridor to the ward,
where other sufferers heard and mar
veled, and over the face of Jimmy stole
an expression of infinite peace.
In that distant ward men who had
been battling with death turned their
faces toward the sinking sun and felt
that even amid pain it was good just
to live, and in Jinny's little room all
was silent Nurse Powell was kneel-
ing beside the bed, her face hidden in
the pillow. The little hand she still
held was strangely limp and pulseless.
Then a strong arm raised her to her
feet, and she looked straight into the
soft brown eyes that had followed her
all these years patiently, steadfastly.
"Gertrude!"
"Henry"
Later, when she raised her head, she
turned from him to the quiet figure on
the cot.
Il almost wish she knew-she loved
us both so WELL"
And the big doctor whispered gen.
tly, Il think she did know, even be-
fore you did,

Than His Master.
My friend was staying one autumn
in Wales. Smoking and chatting one
evening with n local farmer, the talk
fell upon dogs. The farmers sheep
dog lay before the fire, and the farmer
instanced his sagacity. He made an
exclamation in Welsh. At once the dog
rose and went to the door. you
might let him out" said the farmer.
""The sheep are in the corn is what 1
said to him" The dog passed eagerly
out In few minutes there was Il
scratching at the door The dog en-
tered painting and lay down at the fire
again. Shortly afterward the farmer
repeated his Welsh remark. Again
the dog ran to the door, and my friend
let him out Again In few minutes
was the scratching at the door, ana
again he lay down before the fire pant
ing. After an interval the farmer re-
marked I'm Welsh, quite in the way or
conversation: 81 am not easy about
those sheep. / do believe they're In
the corn" The dog. without rising,
looked up at the farmer, gave two
sharp yelps and turned round TO his
sleep again. He said as plainly as
though It had been in words: Don't
be fool. I've been out twice, and
thcr're not In the corn."-London Out

When II ~ .AdvisabIc-Best Deferred

Especially upon land where straw
berry plants are likely to be heaved
by It's freezing and thawing during the
winter the use OF a mulch will be ad-
visablc, and for the hill plants 1t

MARKETING HONEY.


Pack Attractively, Name Your Prod
uct and Try For n Home Market.
Honey must be packed In shape 10
please the eye. Established quality
has much to do with the price, but the
way 1t looks has much more. In order
to get good results from your product
you must watch the markets and know
II the honey crop is large or small. The
best method is selling direct to con-
sumers or IL that is impossible to the
grocery stores. II your goods are of
the better quality, mark with your
name and address Name your apiary
or home, and you will find paying re
suits. Home market first, foreign mar
ket next, should be your maxim at all
times, says an Orange Judd Farmer
writer.
Just as soon as your honey has been
secured and the sections cleaned they
should be put in the selling case. which
may be either twelve, twenty-four or
forty-eight pounds. Put in dark
room free from mice, bees and insects.
The cases should be of neat appear
ance and clean, with glass on one side.
When 1t is desirable to keep honey a
length of time. it should be kept free
from dampness and changes Of tenn
perature. If water condenses on the
surface OF combs, the honey soon sours.
For this reason honey should never be
stored in cellars that are damp. 1t is
better to keep 1t upstairs in dry room.
Sheep Bring Good, Honest Money.
Some time since Mr.. Wing, In writ
Ing of sheep raising, said that lambs
should bring 81 month While all
f1ocks do not bring that for lambs,
yet think there is no other stock on
the farm that brings such good, honest
money as flock Of sheep, kept even
as the average farmer keeps them. 1t
has been so in my long experience Of
sheep raising, especially since I have
been grading up my flock Of common
sheep. The last few years have kept
only the best of my ewes, and last year
/ secured pretty good oxford Down
ram. My ewes are mostly crosses OF
Shropshire and Southdowns and Me-
rinos. This year my lambs are good.
have turned off thirteen of the lambs
to the butcher, and they brought me
the neat little average of $4.5S head.
These lambs came the last of March
and first of April, SO l came very near
to Mr. Wings standard. They had
nothing but good pasture and their
mothers milk. SO. taking It NIL around,
think my lambs paid well for them
selves.-Cor. Ohio Farmer.
