Grooming Is Valuable.

The proper and frequent grooming of
work horses is too little done by farm
ers who do not appreciate the impor.
lance of the work. 1t may appeal +o
you "hen we assert, without fear of
contradiction, that a well-groomed
horse works better and requires less
FOOD than horse kept in a filthy con-
ult1on' Proper grooming means proper
circulation of the blood and opens the
pores OF the skin. Where circulation
mas become impeded, and the pores of
the skin are blocked up with the filth
the animal Is out of sorts and cannot
work with normal vigor, nor can II
derive the due amount of nutriment
from It's food; hence it is tempted to
eat more than other horses.

Advantages of Farm Life.

It is the farmers boys who are most
likely to succeed, whether in business
or in professional life. Spending most
Of their time under the open sky.
breathing fresh air, and eating simple
food, they are more likely to have Wig
orous health and strong constitutions
than are their city cousins. Brought
into constant contact with nature, they
absorb a great deal Of useful knowl-
edge, and acquire habits Of observa-
ton. Then, too, the regular farm
work, the chores" and numberless 9TH
er little things keep them we'll occupied
and enable them to feel that they are
earning their way, thus giving to them
a sense of independence and cultivat-
ing spirit of self-relIance and manli-
ness. The performance Of a deal of
drudgery Is an indispensable prepara-
uOn for all real success in life what
ever the occupation. A boy who is
afraid of work or Of sotling his hands
need not expect to accomplish much
In the world. Country boys have their
full share Of fun, but there are MANY
disagreeable duties on a farm which
farmers boys learn to accept as a
matter Of course. Edward Eggleston,
speaking of the value of his farm
training when boy, once said to me:
Il learned one thing Of great value
and that was to do disagreeable things
cheerfully."-Josiah Strong, in Success

Mr.. Jennings will not sell It, I assure
you," said Reuben, with great urbanity
OF manner, as he bowed once more to his
father, with the picture pressed to lis

Mr.. Culwick, senior, descended the
stairs with extreme care, and passed
through the parlor and shop without be-
slowing any further attention upon Mr.,
Jennings or Sarah Eastbell. Standing at
the shop door was Lucy Jennings. She
stood aside and as she passed her, she

He turned in the direction of the Cam.

and passing the house again, looking I'D
at the window of the first floor. and even
hesitated, as if the idea of re-entering

gave up asking the way to London Bridge
after a while, and looked on in purpose

He stepped into the road and made for
the opposite side Of the way. There
were wagons and omnibuses and carts
coming in all directions, and their driv-
ers shouted ct him, and foot passengers
screamed wildly at the danger which he
had not seen for himself His giddiness
oVermastered him, and he fell amid clat-
tering, stumbling iron hoofs, and whirl-
ing, grinding wheels, and it was beyond
mans help to save him.

which will, at least, save time in tho
spring. Broken limbs may be removed
and many of the inside limbs which are
overlapping the fruiting twigs can be
ont off during the winter as well as In
the spring. The work of pruning should
always be done with a saw on limbs
too large to cut with sharp knife; in
pruning saw from the under side of the
limb first, saving up a quarter or
half through and finishing from the
top. This will result in a clean cut and
there will be no spIintering, as would
he the case If a heavy limb was cut
through from the top. In the winter

SO that at the proper time any remedy
for any trouble found may be applied.

Cost Of Raising Corn.


The present low price of corn and
the enormous quantity which Is piled
I'D In bins and warehouses everywhere
in this country is the most emphatic
evidence that corn can be produced at
a very low cost, and 1t is plain from
the experience of hundreds of corn
raisers that there is a profit In produc-
ing corn on large scale, even at the
present low prices, for many thous-
ands Of farmers have made good liv-
ing and laid some profit by from their
corn lands.
1t is perfectly true that the man
with a small farm, devoted exclusively
to corn raising, can get only very
precarious living out of corn when the
price Is under 25 cents on the farm.
But even the small farmer can assure
himself Of substantial surplus with

cared for, on the rest of it.
1t must not be forgotten that the
present low price Of corn is due to two
years Of very extraordinary yields, and
though this years crop is moderate,
by comparison with those years, the
surplus in the country, added to what
was produced this year, makes the sup
ply in the country about as large as
it was ever known to be, and the cost
of production Of the corn which most
farmers have on hand at the present
time, must be figured on the basis of
large yields, so that, even at present
low prices, the great bulk Of the corn
in the country represents a good deal
more than what it has cost the farmer
to produce it.

CHAPTER XIII

Mrs. Eastbell waited very patiently for
the return of her granddaughter to the
aImshouses. She was very happy in ner
nest, she said. Sarah wrote her letters
Miss Holland read them to her; eyerv-
body was kind, and her granddaughter
would soon be home again. What was
there to disturb her old head In anv wav ?
She was we'll in health, too, and wonder
fully strong.
Suddenly the visits of Mary Holland
abruptly ceased, although a message was
sent to the old lady that Mrs. Mugger-
idge's niece had been telegraphed for IN
London, and would return in a few DAYS
The niece would take that opportunity
OF calling upon Sarah Eastbell, and bring
back to Worcester all the news-possi-
bly, Miss Eastbell herself, if she was
strong enough to leave

it anything to do with Sarah?"
1T concerns yourself most of all. Can
