Noughts and Crosses.
~~~0NNN~~

400 e began to play first on
WM scrap of paper which l had
utilized to make diagram OF
the neighborhood to show her the rela
tive position Of our respective homes:
that is to say, Of her home and the
little house which l had bought and
furnished in the samewhat wild hope
that she might one day by becoming
its mistress convert it into my home.
On that occasion she had treated the
diagram very fappantly by guiding my
hand to make a nought in the area
which stood for my front garden, and
her mischievous look conveyed to me
that the cipher was meant to represent
the sum of my worldly goods.
Accordingly, 1 responded with great
independence by making big cross
the symbol which 1 believe is popu-
lary supposed to denote a kiss-on
either side Of the little square, which,
In my amateur drawing, stood for the
front door.
She resented this because she said l
had played out Of turn. She thereupon
drew the correct figure for game that
she termed noughts and crosses and
Instructed me how to play in accord
ance with rule. The figure was very
simple, merely two perpendicular
strokes crossed by two horizontal ones,
and there was no skill required, ii
lu
a cross into one of the little spaces and
did ones level best to get three in a
row, which counted one point. 1t was
very childish pastime, and yet after
that day l found myself playing II
with her at every opportunity; and il
had at least the merit, like mediocre
music in drawing room, of affordinl
cover for conversation.
'I don't think" she said one day, il
an interval which 1 spent sharpening
her pencil, "that I'm exacting; but on'
naturally expects something out o
life, either love or money, and yol
can't give me either"
AT least" said, in low voice, d"
give you love-"
mo; that's where you make tn
mistake. You think that In loving m
YOU give me love. But you don't-no
an emotion even! Cross out love!"
81 shall do nothing Of the kind"
responded, Indignantly.
"As for money" she pursued, g
don't think, don't really think tina
f4OO a year or so is the height of m
ambition. Put nought for money"
81 Decline" said, "for can at leas
look to the future with tolerable cel
tainty."
ITS no good looking too far ahead,
she said; you must remember we'v
got to live in the present"
you're right" l said, mildly, ian
it's not much consolation to me at til
present moment to reflect that you
certainly be sorry some day that you'N
hit such a chance slip"

other breed can ever supplant them
with those who raise turkeys for
Root Crops for Pigs.

1t has been demonstrated that seven
or eight pounds Of mangels have as
great feeding value as one pound OF
grain, when given to pigs or hogs, ana
that sugar beets have even a greater
value, so it is hard to understand why
pig raisers are so careless about grow
ing root crops for their animals. Not
only have the root crops high feed
ing value, but they do more for the
good health of the hogs than one can
estimate. In regard to their feeding
value it has been demonstrated time
and again that when mangel or sugar
beets, or 10th, are fed in connection
with light rations of grains, using mid
dlings instead of bran, pork OF nigh
quality can be produced cheaper than
in any other way with the possible ex-
ception Of the substitution Of ensilage
for the root crops. If root crops can
be bought at reasonable prices, better
have some for feeding this fall and
winter and next season grow your own

HIS FORTUNE IN AN ORCHID.
Steward of a Sugar Steamship Be
Heves He Has Round Lost Species.

The steward of the sugar steamer
Abergeldie which, after doubling the
Cape Of Good Hope, has tied up at the
Arbuckle refinery, near the foot Of
Pearl street, Brooklyn, believes he has
a specimen of long-lost valuable Or
child.
Through the taste of the steward for
orchids Captain Keith's dining room
became the attractive shelter of rare
horticultural exhibit.
If the stewards surmise, based on
the description Of the bloom which the
natives gave him, are correct, he ex
poets to become so wealthy that he
can buy up half the top-priced orchids
in England and corner the market.
At Macassar, the chief port on the
Island of Celebes, the Abergeldie's
steward, H. Dedekind, was presented
by Chinese clerk with an orchid
Seeding, which he planted in gravel
within a cocoanut husk.
The Macassar Seeding is developing
finely, and in five years will break
| out, said the Chinaman, Into white
blossoms, and may then be worth $500.
At Sourabaya native came off
shore with palms, and the steward
asked him If he could fetch some or.
chids. A few days later the native re.
turned with some parasitic seedlings
growing out of moss on the rind Of a
tree.
The collector had detached the bark
with moss and orchid. The Malay said
that he had collected the specimens
at the risk of his life, having robbed
the graveyard of village near Soura
baya to get the unpromising looking
roots.
From the description of the gorgeous
bloom to come, Dedekind believes 1t tt
be an orchid which accidentally arriv
ed in England fifty years ago from al
unknown origin and was lost.

Poultry Pickings.

The mongrel is thing Of the past in
profitable poultry culture.
An overfed hen Is stupid, lazy and
Improbable. The eager, active, hun
CRY hen is the profit maker.
Every poultryman should be a stu
dent. He should by careful study and
close observation equip himself to mas
ter the emergencies that are certain to
arise sooner or later.
If living on farm, don't fail to lay
aside a few bundles Of unthreshed
grain. The hens will enjoy tearing It
to pieces next winter and the increased
egg yield will pay you for the trouble.
A hundred lice in poultry house will
multiply to thousand in a short time
and to a million within a month, unless
checked. It's much easier to kill the
hundred than the million

Feed Mill on the Farm.

On any farm where there is stock to
feed whether cows, sheep, hogs or
poultry, the feed mill or grinder is one
of the best economizers of food one can
have. These mills are made in various
sizes and suited to the large or the
small farm. With such mill one Is in
position to give variety in form OF
feeding that is impossible unless one
is prepared to buy various kinds OF
ground food.
Where corn constitutes the main
food as Is the case on most farms 1t is
plain to see that it is not advisable to
feed it in the same form all the time
With the feed grinder it is possible to
mix the several ground grains in small
quantities which one would hardly buy
Where poultry keeping is part of the
farm industry there will be found
abundant use for the feed grinder and
it will pay good profit on the invest
ment.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

o. say not woman's love is bought
With vain and empty treasure;
o, say not a woman's heart is caught
BY every idle pleasure.
When first her gentle bosom knows
Loves fame, it wanders never;
Deep in her heart the passion glows,
She loves, and loves for ever!
o! say not woman's false as fair;
That like the bee she ranges;
Still seeking flowers more sweet and rare
As tickle fancy changes.
All, no. the love that first can warm
Will leave her bosom never;
No second passion e'er can charm;
She loves, and loves for ever!

Keeping Butter.

A New York dairyman writes tina,
he has kept butter successfully both IL
summer and winter by simply filling II
into jars covering the top neatly with
cloth, putting on salt and pressing
down hard with the hand so that nc
air can get in. Often paper is put
over the top. During warm weather 1,
may be necessary to add more salt
once in four or five weeks.
