A grove to secure simply protection
from the fury of western winds in the
prairie country may be most quickly
obtained from the willow, next from
the cottonwood, followed by the soft
maple and box elder. A willow grove
made of cuttings stuck in well prepar-
ed rich soil eight feet apart each way
will make perfect protection from the
wind in five years, and so planted as
to inclose the homestead dollhouse,
barns, sheds and garden-on the south,
west and north, will, for the land occu-
pied by it, return the best income of
any land upon the average farm. Ii
we were opening up new farm today
such grove would be the first thing
we should give special attention to. OF
course, if one can wait, the evergreen
grove is in every way better, but 1t is
more expensive to plant, and one must
wait at least twelve years before such
protection from the wind is secured.

This hired man came into legacy Of
100000 from the estate Of deceased
uncle. He was just common plug Of
a hired man and had never had 5000 at
one time in his life before. He went
east and got his money and, returning
put up in a swell hotel not far from his
old home. Ringing for the clerk, that
worthy went up and found the hired
man had carpeted the entire room with
greenbacks and was walking back and
forth, evidently having the time of his
life. Money makes some men do queer
things.
The beet sugar crop of the states is
about 100000 tons for the past season
This is only fraction of the amount
OF sugar consumed, and to make the
growing Of this small amount of beet
sugar possible in this country of high
priced labor tariff is imposed on all
imported sugar which is one of the
most grievous burdens the poor man
has to carry. We are led to inquire
what is the use of acquiring tropical
heather territory if the American peo-
pie cannot be supplied with cheap sug-
ar? If these heather can grow sugar
for less than half the cost of beet sug-
ar produced in this country, why not
let them do it? We have got to fight
for these brothers in breech clouts, got
to feed them and got to civilize them
anyhow.
There are many farm homes which
could be made world more enjoy
able by putting a good furnace in the
cellar. While no saving in the amount
of fuel might be looked for, much
larger proportion of the house would
be kept comfortable day and night
and an almost endless lot of dirt and
bother avoided The modern farm
home should have bathroom, fur
mace and Il water supply under pres
sure, the three conveniences costing
about $3.50. The writer warns his
home with a furnace and uses for fuel
the rough stuff of the timber lot

would be almost unstable. 1t is the
only way we can get any comfort or
satisfaction out Of stumps which have

1t is possible for improved methods
of agriculture to redeem much of the
poor, wornout farm land of the eastern
states Alfalfa is working wonders in

The most successful fruit growers Of

men whose wives are helpmates in a
very liberal and practical sense, for it
is said that we owe to Mrs. Elgar
some Of the most beautiful words
notably two charming songs-to
which her husbands music has been
welded. There are several other not
able men whose wives are thus able
to share their work. To mention but
a few, there are M. and Nine. CUrie,
who together have made the epoch

renee and Lady Tadema ply the
brush in adjacent studios and criticise
and help each others work; Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Webb study and write

Found Gold in a Hen Coop.

Two boys, w. o. and G. p. Daniel
son of Medford, Ore, in March, 1894

Roberts, found buried under the sur

An ILLUMINATING Crab.

One of the marine curiosities fished
some time ago from the bottom OF the
Indian ocean was mammoth sea
crab which continually emitted a
bright white light, similar to that seen
in the spasmodic flashes OF phosphor-
escent luminosity emitted by the COM
mon glow-worm. The crab was cap
tured in the daytime and placed in a
large tank containing specimens of
fish, nothing peculiar except its i'm
mense size being noticeable in the
broad glare of the tropical sun. At
night, however, when all was pitchy
darkness, the crab lit up the tank 50
that the other creatures in it could be
plainly seen.

evident, for with each break in the

was a bond-aided road, only part of
its bills against the government being

case it's credit was $5.28 and it's cash

unexplained reason, agreed in public
competition to- supply 1892 pounds

DR.. Fosdick thrust his hands into
his pockets, and stood looking down
at the girl with an odd mixture of de-
termination and entreaty in his ex-
preston.
For the first time in his life his
tongue had bungled, and his words
had but haltingly expressed the mean
ing he had intended. This had irri.
tated him extremely, and he stood
very straight and dignified, trying by
magnificent outward calm to atone for
his recent nervousness.
The girls averted face was undenia-
bly, pretty, and just now deep flush
lent it additional charm. She had
known for long time that, sooner or
later, this moment would come.
She had prepared herself for it; yet
now that it was here she had sud-
denly weakened into irresolution. The
doctor watched her keenly.
At length she turned in her chair,
and her eyes met his squarely.
There are many reasons, Bob y
she said, softly, why should say
yes
The doctor permitted himself a
smile of encouragement and satisfac-
ton.
"And there are more, | think, why
l should say no." she pursued.
"Katharine!" he was startled into
eXpostulating.
I'm going to be perfectly frank with
you" she said.

laughed in evident relief.

The month was nearly up. Kathar-
inc Thorpe had gone over the matter
countless times-something thought
fully, sometimes wistfulIy, sometimes
tearfully.
But always her mind had been shap-
ing itself toward the inevitable. She
could never marry Bob Fosdick. Love
him? She could not blind herself TO
the fact that she did; but with feel
ing akin to acute terror she recog-
nized that in his larger, stronger in
dividuality her own would be crushed
and helpless.
