CHAPTER K.

Sickness don't knock and ask if you're
busy; it just comes aboard and
makes itself to home.-The Log
Book Of The Lyddy.
AS Parton reached the deck the captain
looked at him with an expression which
showed a combination of quizzcal anxiety
and acute pain.
II amt a-feelin' very well,'' ne said. II
amt a-feelin' so John Quincy Adams well
as 1 might. That's why 1 asst you to come
on deck. 1 wanted you to go aft with me"
He grinned in what Parton thought was
strained way, and stopped what he knew
would be a flow of sympathetic words with
wave of his hand. 1t trembled as 1t
passed through the air.
Yes" the captain continued, II wanted
you to come aft with me and see how the
patent log works"
He did not go to the after rail, for which

hut his struggles to make himself under
stood were fruitless. The mate was uni
formly friendly in a strained and watchful
manner. When he called MIN carter
there was always on his face a little sneer
as if he knew it to be false name, and
used it merely to save the bother of argu-
ment
at a time. until he lay in his bunk all day
and a good part of the night, saying over
and over again with ceaseless monotony
which was terribly depressing to Parton:
BY By, By, By"
Parton realized that he had been affected
in no ordinary way and talked the case
over with the mate speculatively He as
sumed that the affair was due to some
lesion of the brain, and that his strange
pains and dizziness mad peen the premonl-
tory symptoms.
If the old man had been stricken with
an ordinary illness, no matter how severe,
he would have felt much less distressed
by it, for he could at least have applied
some of those simple remedies which he
had learned of in his own experience, or
which were in the simple knowledge of the
. sailors; but this seizure was SO unusual
that it was beyond even the guesses of the
wisest of the men on board. There was
something almost uncanny about it.
The sailors talked of it quietly among
themselves, and one OF them dinused an m
others by making the sign of the cross each
time he passed the cabin companionway
which so demoralized them that the mate
was prone to keep the man forward and
force him into such silence of his terrifying
gabbling as he could by threats.
Neither Parton nor the mate had the
least idea whether or not the illness would
terminate fatally. SO far as they could tell
there was no change of real Importance
from day to day. Parton had hoped that
there might be some way of getting medi-
cal assistance for the old man from some
passing steamer-there were few days when
one or more were not sighted-but the mate
assured him that the big ships would not
stop for any such purpose, and that the

Tub Grown Lemon Trees.

The growing of lemon trees in tubs
is becoming something OF a fad in
some of our northern localities. Doubt
less a good many of our readers have
tried at various times to grow lemons
and have succeeded in getting good.
sized trees, which, however, never
bore anything of value. The trouble
was that the tree had not been grated.
The lemon tree that is to bear good
fruit must be grated from a tree that
is bearing good fruit, and in most
cases the tree from which to do the
grating is not at hand. PROBABLY If
anyone wants to raise lemons
In tubs, the best way is to secure a
tree from a reputable nursery that
handles such trees and hat has guar
anteed that the tree has been grated
from some good variety. 1t is re-
ported that in some parts Of the north
people that have these trees in tubs
get from them a great many lemons
yearly, the quality Of the lemons be-
ing better than of those imported. At
any rate the lemon tree is an inter
esting object. Grown in a tub it may
be kept out of doors in summer and
in the house in the winter. The lemon
was unknown to the Greeks and Ro-
ans and is supposed to be a rather
modern fruit. 1t was introduced into
Spain by the Arabs in the fourteenth
century and in the very end of that
century lemons found their way to
England, having been grown in the
Azore islands

Patent Absurdities,

II farmers would read more they
perhaps would be caught by the
sharpers less often than they are. It
seems of little use however to warn
farmers against being caught by the
various swindles that are being
worked; for the reason that the far
mers that are the dupes are the mes
that do moi read agricultural papers.
We believe that very few of our read
ers are food for such sharks. Some
time ago a farmer in Oklahoma was
worked by a man that was selling pa
tent rights for a preparation that he
claimed would, If put on trees, kill all
the borers and that II buried in the
ground OF an orchard would cause all
the gophers there TO leave. He also
told the farmer that the experiment
station had offered 5 8 1000 for a half in
terest In the patent. The farmer
wrote to the Oklahoma station asking
If the thing was a fraud and received
a reply that it a The remarkable
thing about such games is that they
give enough revenue to keep the men
that work them in good condition.
This does not speak well for the
acumen Of the farmers that are swim.
died. The truth should be patent to
all that there is no "cure-all" for any
disease or insect. Gophers do NOT
care what is buried in the ground an
acre away and the borer does not
care what preparation is put on the
tree, so long as It is kept out OF his
hole.

Good and Poor Seed Corn.

Recently in passing a new field Of
corn, a resident farmer remarked to
the writer on the variability of seed
corn, as to ~germinability. In the field
a large part of the corr was coming
up beautifully. In the other part of
h field almost none was to be seen,
the demaication between the two sec.
tons being as distinct as il a straight
line had been drawn through the field
and one-half left implanted. Yet the
whole field was planted on the same
day with corn bought from two neigh
bors. The corn, too, was of the same
variety; yet the seed corn saved by
one man came up well and of the 9th.
er hardly at all. The farmer was
asked what made the difference and
replied that it must have been in the
way OF taking care of the seed or of
the maturity Of the corn at the time
it was harvested. 1t is easy to sup.
pose that the farmer that furnished
the worthless seed planted his own
farm with 1t and had his work all to
do over again. This is a lesson es to
the value OF good seed corn, and the
unwisdom Of planting seed without
knowing whether it is good or not.
lmprovidence in this matter is the
cause of the failure of many a far.

How Weeds Come In.

weeds como into new regions large
ly through the carelessness Of the
land owner. One Of the commonest
ways of bringing them in is to import
them in screenings from -four mills
or from other mills that clean grains
and sell the screenings. Probably
none Of our states have a law like
that in the Northwest Territories of
Canada, which prohibits the sale of
screenings except to feeders of sheep.
and then under certain restrictions.
Screenings contain almost all kinds
OK weed seeds, and from these they
get into the pile and are car
ried onto the land and are placed in
the soil in the very best shape for
growing. Frequently the farmer pro-
duce the weeds on one part of his
farm, has them screened out when
h wheat is thrashed and shovels the
refuse into the manure pile or into
some place from which it reaches
the anure pile, and is thence sent to
all parts of the farm. There is vet
another way by which a little clump
OF weeds in the hay field may get to
all parts OF the farm. The said weeds
are cut with the hay and fed at a
time the weed seeds are enough ma
ture to resist the digestive efforts of
the bovine stomach. They pass
through and out into the and
the next year start new centers of in.
fuence In all parts of the farm. A
good deal of care needs to be eXer.
cised in this case The greatest trou.
BILE is that the farmer does not
know the new weeds till they have
been thus successfully sown and re-
SOwn.

Different klnds Of Dairy Associations.
There are a good many kinds OF
dairy associations, most Of them en-
tirely trustworthy and others not 30
much SO. In the main, when dairy
men go into an association 1t is with
some high object in view. We notice
by the dairy exchanges that In Wis
consin an association Is trying to
come into existence that Is looked up
on with n good deal OF suspicion by
men engaged in dairy work in the
state. The cause of suspicion is al
ways found in some way Of making
money for the promoters. In this
case the association, which is for but
ter and cheese makers, starts out 10
get 1000 members each one of which
is to pay SIS entrance fee and 81 per
year. The officers of the association
are TO have for their compensation
such fees and dues as remain after
paying operating expenses. In the
case OF securing 1000 members this
would mean receipts the first year OF
at least $4,000, which might leave q
very handsome purse to be divided
between the three or four men that
comprise the officers. An investiga-
ton into the personnel of the assocla-
ton showed that none Of the officers
were engaged in the making of but
ter and cheese, one being a station
agent, another a hotel keeper and an
other a postmaster. The intentions OF
the organizers may be of the best, but
they will certainly be under suspicion
I'LL they have proved that they are
not trying to work simply a money
making scheme.
