The round table whereat we dined was
spread inside the open door which led
to the garden, so that October sunshine
fell full on the spotless linen and
quaint old plate, and the fresh balmy
air filled the room with the scent of
sweet herbs. Louis served us with
the nein of maior-domo, and set on
each, dish as though it had been pea

provided the larger portion of our
meal; the garden did its part; the con-

: To be frank, however, it was not the
old wound that touched me so nearly,
but madams words; which finishing
what Clon's sudden appearance in the
garden had begun, went long way
towards hardening me and throwing
me back into myself. I saw with bit
terness-what had perhaps forgotten
for molnent-how great was tho
chasm which separated me from these
women: how impossible it was we
could loag think alike; how far apart

Yet in spite Of this contretemps, that
first meal had strange charm for me.

With the exceedingly low price at
which most Of the best periodicals can

During tho period Of twenty-five
years when the present perfected farm
machinery was being developed there
might have been some excuse for
throwing aside machine half worn
out for a new and better machine, but
today it is hardly possible to further
improve farm machinery, and better
care should be given to it to secure a
longer life Of usefulness for it.

Corn and alfalfa make the best COM

country. Heretofore it has been as
sumed that only in very limited area
Of the country could these two crops
be grown on the same farm, but it is
being discovered that over quite large
section Of the corn belt the alfalfa may
be grown If right methods are pursued.
The combination makes an almost per-
fecty balanced ration; hence It's great
value.

A good many years ago, when the
country was new, we always made
practice of burning of a piece Of wild

nice lot Of young grass Of the second

the tame grasses the same result is OBJ
tanned by the moving for hay in July.

of the year is that Europe takes 6,OOO,-
600 bushels Of macaroni wheat grown
In this country, the first wheat Of this
sort which has ever been exported from
the United States. Another good thing
about this is that this wheat was raised
upon land in this country which was
not counted At for cultivation five
years ago.
