works to be erected by the mining
company.
And so the sleepy little village
walked up one fine morning to find it
self In the midst of a most unexpected
boom"
Amaranth, though offered a high
price, refused to part with her prop
erty on any terms. By the advice Of
the young surveyor, however, she was
induced to lay out portion or her
farm. fronting the railroad. in town
.,.4yu were eagerly purchaser
at satisfactory valuation, and the
Brooke addition" soon ranked as the
most desirable residence portion OF
Pineyville Centre.
Ard Amaranth found herself, If not
wealthy. at least comfortably situated.
A stout hired farm hand attended to
the farm work now. The WORKOUT
meadows and cornfields were redeem
ed from their impoverished condition.
The antiquated COW was supplanted
by small herd of Jerseys. The de-
crepit horse was ''pensioned off" on
the latest Of pastures, while a span
of matched bays drew the new car
ryall when Amaranth or Mrs. Reuben
and her children took an airing.
The discounted relatives, who had
all but boycotted Amaranth In the
dark days, now discovered that blood
was thicker than water" and FASTENED
to make friendly overtures.
And Sylvester Smalley, who had not
vet succeeded in building on the pater-
nal forty acres, abruptly ceased his at
tentions to Nancy Maria, and cast
longing eyes toward the thrifty corn
fields and we'll filled barns Of the old
homestead.
Long since had he repented OF his
short -sightedness, and after some skill
ful maneuvering he one day succeeded
in meeting Amaranth face to face ut
the old stile.
Shed a rose In her bonnet, and oh. she
looked sweet
As the little pink flower that grows III
the wheat,
And Sylvester felt that he must win
her at all hazards.
He advanced smiling and with out
stretched hands.
Ibid you really think l meant 10
give YOU up, Amaranth?" he asked re-
proachfully.
But she drew coldly back.
"Give me up? Certainly! You gave
me up long ago." she returned.
but l didn't mean it! Il own
vos a fool. Amaranth,' he stammered'
desperately, but l allus intended 10

But Amaranth smiled as SIZE
GLANCED beyond him to a tall f1guSe
which was rapidly approaching them.
"yery much obliged, I'm sure, she

she declared Indignantly.
After q few more words their troth
was broken. Sylvester stalked moodily
on his way, while Amaranth, with
pang Of sore disappointment at her
heart turned toward the gray stone
farmhouse, where she earned small
stipend over her board by doing the
homework for family of six.
The broken engagement offered
fresh food for gossip among the
Brooke and stubblefeld k kj be- e9f1 turned
nuI AHHeer course by their outspoken
censures and criticisms.
The old homestead was bought and
paid for. To be sure the soil was
rocky and sterile, and the dwelling in
need of repairs.
The orchard trees-what were left
of them-were gnarled and bent. and
the fences and outbuildings in a sad
state of dilapidation.
1t was really scarcely worth the
small sum asked for 1t, but Amaranth
had determined to buy it, and buy 1t
she did.
An ancient COW and a half-decreplt
pony were included in the sale.
And after the house had been treat
ed to a few repairs and a thorough
cleaning, brother Reuben's family
were released from their uncongeniai
quarters in the city and comfortably
installed therein.
Mrs. Reuben-a meek little woman,
with no more ideas of supporting her
self than a canary bird might have
was vet good housekeeper, ana
willingly undertook the management
of domestic affairs, while Amaranth
gave her attention to the raising OF
poultry and garden vegetables. Ana
the children grew as round as butter
balls, romping under the gnarly Old
apple trees or playing hide-and-seek
among the tall sunflowers and holly
hooks that nodded in the dooryard.
Later on, Amaranth earned few
dollars each week by the sale OF her
nroduce at the little village of Plney~
Vile Center, which was scarcely
stones throw from her back pasture
bars. But with all her industry ana
economy she found it hard matter
TO provide for herself and the heip-
less ones depending on her, ana there
wore times when she really feared
the wolf was already at her door.
Sylvester Smedley took parucuiii
pleasure In driving past the nouse'
with Nancy Maria Stubblet1elo' u
whom he had transferred his atteh
t,ons seated beside him in his spring
buggy.
Rut no one offered a helping manu.

Experiments have shown that deep
blowing on some soils is the reverse
of beneficial. 1t cannot be too plainly
or strongly impressed upon the mind
that all plant food is only available
when in liquid form. 1t does not
matter how much plant food there Isl
in soil, If 1t Is not reduced to liquid
form it cannot be assimilated by
plants, hence the necessity for keep
ing some moisture in the soil, which
is often caused to disappear by too
deep blowing. All stiff soils will be-
benefited by deep blowing, while light
sandy soils would not receive any bene-
fit and might receive temporary injury
if plowed ten inches deep.

This bill, which will shortly be intro

the increased expense necessary for
the construction of signals, electrical
wires and other apparatus necessitat-
ed by the block system, shall be dis
tributed over term of years, each
railroad completing one-fourth of its
equipment annually, until, on January

Hens will eat eggs whenever broken

It is natural for them to eat anything
that is good to eat and in proper shape

eating eggs, therefore, is to keep
broken eggs out of their reach.

The dairy farmers of Denmark have
invaded the English markets to such
an extent that they have well-nigh
crowded out the English farmers. More
foreign than domestic butter is con-
sumed in England, and most of it
comes from Denmark About nine
tenths of Denmarks butter export
goes to English markets, and the
amount is over two hundred million
pounds, for which about $50,600,G00
was returned to the thrifty Danish
dairymen. 1t is said that some of
this butter was really made by Danish
companies operating in Siberia and
practicing the well-known scientific
and cooperative methods which have
caused the industry to forge to the

Frauds are still going the rounds.
One of the last seen is an old one
which promises to increase the guam
tity of butter by adding something to
the milk. Those who take time to
think will readily see that butter can
not be added to milk. The amount of
butter fat taken from milk depends
upon the amount it contains. 1t is
impossible to obtain something from
nothing.
