will be better. You can pass judg-
ment on the little gem-bonnet, and
shall go in and buy it!-for I'm
certain you'll like it,"
They had not walked through the
streets together for a good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. He did not care to remember
how long it was since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he stayed
at home quietly, and grew little
grayer and a little older every day.
So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was good enough excuse. Martha
gave up urging him after awhile.
The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. 1t was beautiful
day.
Down the street little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, and
Horatio and Martha came to a stand
still. A heavy dray was being backed
across the sidewalk.
They were abreast of a splendid
plate-glass show-window, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for amuse-
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one-Martha turned
away little disgusted. 1t was only
a mems furnishing store.
The drayman took his time.
Martha was driven back to the win
dow in self-defense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re-
minded her. A little thrill ran over
her, for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat.
1t was not distinguishably different,
either, in style-queer that Is years
should make so little change!
Martha glanced at Horatios shabby
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it no
quarter. She saw all it's fadedness
and meanness, and the listless, de-
jected sag of it. 1t gave her a start
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatio's clothes. They were always
whole-IIoratio had always been
easy" on his things. There was
rarely anything to mend.
But now-the contrast between the
spruce, new coats in the window and
Horatio's coat! Between the sleek
hats set jauntily on the staring
painted heads of the window-dum-
mics and the faded, worn one plant
ed squarely on Horatio's gray hair!
Martha's heart misgave her at the
contrast. She did not want to look,
but looked on steadily.
Horatio was looking at the dray-
man. His bent shabby shoulders
were "back to" the great window.
Horatio never looked in show win
dows.
"When you get through looking at
the styles, my dear, we'll go on.
That's fellows taken his time, but
he's out O. the way now"
1t was Horatio's voice in her ear
and Martha started with an odd
sense of confusion and guilt. She
went on down the street trying to
joke herself at ease again, but her
thoughts ran on persistently in per-
turbed undercurrent. The gray over
coat that had reminded her-she
could not get it out of her sight.
Gray had been so becoming to Hora-
ito Is years ago-Martha had chosen
that color herself for his wedding
overcoat." And she had had apple
buds in her wedding bonnet because
pink and gray were so beautiful to-
gether.
Martha reused herself at madame's.
"There," she cried, "that little beauty
on the extreme left-dont tell me

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Ensilage behind the dairy herd
works wonders in cheapening the pro-
duction of milk.
Don't be filthy man with filthy
hands, nor milk filthy COW in filthy
stable into filthy pail.
1t is claimed that tincture of iodine
applied with feather will remove
warts from cows udder.
Many COWS are made cross and un-
ruly by the men who have the care of
them. Take almost any nervous, high
strung COW and place her under the
care of ill-tempered, impatient men,
and the result is not difficult to foresee.
The exposure of dairy cows to cold
rains results in serious loss to the
dairyman; this loss may be decreased
by abundant feed; the dry cold of our
winter days calls for additional feed
for our cows, and exposure to the
heavier summer rains should be well
guarded gainst.-Midland Farmer.

archly and her full face reminded
him of the Martha's of Is years ago.
He conjured up that other beautiful
little bonnet with apple-blossom buds
in it, and set it on her smooth brown
hair-NIartha had not grown gray
at all.

THE QUEEN OF COWS.
Her Name Is Sadie and ns Milk
ing Machine She Has No Equal
Anywhere.

Utica, n. Y, has recently won dis
tinction through Holstein-Friesian
COW, Sadie by name, which-or per-
haps such COW as Sadie ought to be
referred to as "who"-is a resident
of that place. Sadie has broken the
worlds 30-day record for milk-giv-
ing and butter producing. This is no
easy thing for a cow to do, but re-
ports are to the effect that Sadie ac-
complished the trick without showing
any signs of nervous collapse or ut
tering a solitary moo of complaint.
In the 30 days during which Sadie
was put to the test she produced a
fraction over 1854 pounds of milk,
from which was extracted 1913 pounds
SH ounces of butter. In other words,
the milk that Sadie gave during the
30 days contest WOULD have been suf-
ficient to drown her if it had been
tanked and she thrown in, while her
months supply of butter, if packed
in the ordinary bricks, would nave
served to make around her a wall
so high that she could hardly have
jumped over it.
Sadie is certainly a wonderful cow.
II she hasn't proved that a part may
be two or three times as great as
the whole she has at least shown
that in spite of the wonderful adj
vances men have made in their meth
ads of handling and utilizing steam
and electricity the cow remains in
some way the most extraordinary
machine that was ever invented

According to an old nurseryman
there is no better preventive of blight
in pear and ounce trees than salt
when applied around the roots. 1t

seemed to be struggling to put on its
rightful mask of youth--a man at
t5 is not old-but to be painfully
conscious that it no longer fitted.
Almost at once it settled back to it's
lines of care. With sigh Horatio
Whitney gave up his youth.
"Maybe l am Old" he said quietly.

"When Pm old, l won't ask you for

was thinking that Martha was young
