about a month ago l built a combina- tion buck which was convenient for both crosscut and buck saving, says a writer in Ohio Farmer. It is shown in the figure. It is made of 2 by 4 oak scantling halved together, and the two nearest Ks are only twelve inches apart from outside to outside. Our range takes wood seventeen inches long, and I put the supports near enough together so that l can saw out side the end and not have the saw pinch. This would be inconvenient, and the buck would tip endwise if 1t were not for the third x, which gives sup port to long sticks and makes buck saving much pleasanter, as much of the fatigue in this kind of work comes from keeping in place the sticks that are being sawed.
 The buck is 24 inches high to where the wood rests and 46 inches long. The long legs of the Ks are 4S inches. Such buck stays where it is put and is very convenient until time to store 1t By having the cross rods held in place by lag screws put in from the underside the Ks can be separated and laid away in small compass.

 CHAPTER Dick Heldar, a boy, had been in the care of Mrs Jennett-a cold hearted guardian-for six years when girl, Maisie, slightly younger, is sent to Mrs Jennett. Beth children have small allowances but no friends or kin In the few years that they were at Mrs Jennett's the children had grown very fond of each other, and in fact Dick had made boyish love to Maisie. One afternoon while practicing revolver shooting, MaisIe tells Dick that she is going away, and the boy knows that there goes ont of his life something that has become part of 1t. As they use up the last of the cartridges the sun sinks behind the sea. The light held Dicks attention for moment and then there fell upon him a renew. ed sense of the miraculous, in t!'at he was standing by Maisie who has prom ised to care for him for an indefinite length of time. The wind drove the girls long black hair across his eyes just as he fired and the bullst went singing out to the empty sea. Spoiled my aim" said he shaking his head.

Economy a Two Edxed Sword.

Economy In agriculture Is rather a two edged sword, cutting both ways. From a scientific point of view econo- my becomes a relative word. If our fields be cultivated at a considerable expense, but with a very high degree of effectiveness, the results may be crops produced at such a low cost as to indicate very economical and pru- dent farming. It would therefore seem wise for us while attempting to econo- mize in our work always to endeavor to secure the highest degree of effec- tiveneSs consistent with economy.
