Market gardeners are familiar with
all of the plans which will enable them
to get crops on the market early. Near
some of the large cities these men
grow nothing but the early varieties OF
all classes, doing nothing with the mid
season and late sorts Their plan Of
raising early peas is to prepare the
ground in the fall just as thoroughly
as they would in the spring, and just
before the ground freezes hard they
sow the very early hardy varieties.
drilling them in not over two inches
deep. Mulch is then put over them for
the winter and as soon as the ground
can be worked in the spring, cultiva-
ton begins, as if the seeds were spring
sown. The result is generally a very
early crop that brings the highest mar
ket price. The plan is worth a trial

ket

reply to her inquiry for Mr.. Webster
gave her momentary comfort as she
was told that he was out, but when
she asked further questions she learn
ca that he had been at the office until
a few minutes before the time of her
telephone call. AS she hung up the
receiver Miriam said to herself, with n
sad smile, that she wished she could
hang herself as easily.
The next half hour was one of the
most miserable that the girl had ever
spent. She again read her lovers let
ter; but instead of finding any com
fort for her troubles the reading only
added to her misery. HE thought me
so modest and womanly and contrast
ed my conduct with that of Others who
were not so modest! But what does
he think now that he has read my let
ter? Modest girls don't propose to
men, even if the men haven't nerve
enough to propose themselves"
Miriam was still in a most unhappy
frame of mind when her brother re
turned at night from business. He had
a shame-faced look as he approached
her
I'm sorry, sis, after all you said
about the Importance of that letter;
but-well, I've had an awful busy day
of it and | forgot to mail it. Here
it is
Her arms were around his neck in
an instant. you dear, darling, forget
full, absent-minded brother! she cried,
as he looked at her In amazement.
Now that you have forgotten to mail
the letter, just forget another thing;
forget that l asked you to mail it,"
And the brother, who dearly loved
Miriam, and knew from her earnest
ness that ii was important to her that
he should say nothing about the let
ter, kept her secret faithfully But he
maryeled as the days went by at her
continued sweetness to him, until she
told him of her engagement and then
he explained the problem to himself
by saying that there was nothing like
requited love TO change a Woman's dis
position. And to this day Miriam
brother. believes that her happiness in
loving and being loved saved him from
scolding the day he forgot to mail
her letter. Miriam has been married
for ten years, and in all that time has
kept only one thing from her husband.
That is the dark secret of the letter
that her brother forgot to Mathew

Stirring Cooking Food.

Where more or less food for stock
Is cooked, some handy way of stirring
1t ought to be devised. or course, the
old-fashioned ladle, or the great wood
Ell spoon, is always available, but if
the quantity is large, to use these in
struments means aching arms and
shoulders. A stirrer which will save
much labor is readily made in the fol-
lowing manner. Make shaft of a
strip of wood two inches thick and
long enough so that it will extend
three or four inches above the top Of
the kettle. At the bottom Of this shaft
make paddles by crossing two thin
boards two or three inches wide.
Fasten q crank to the top Of the
shaft and to this crank fasten a pole,
or not, as preferred. Then prepare a
strip Of board six or eight inches wide,
bore a hole through the middle,
through which to pass the shaft,
tnatch both ends to fit over the handle
Of the kettle and at one end fix a

HARD RIDING IN NORTHWEST.
Halfbrced Who Made 100 Miles in
Ten Hours.

Ha1fbrced Who Made 100 Miles in
Ten Hours.
You people who came here since
the railroads were built have an idea
that we used to have a bad time of
it in getting about Washington Terri
tory said the old-timer the other
! day. That's where y0H are wrong.
Distances were no greater than they
are now. True, we didn't always go
so fast as you do now, but we made
speed that would astonish you.
Il remember one trip an old friend
of mine made, a big cattle man from
Kittitas County, afterward the owner
of considerable property in Seattle His
divorced wife was living here, and she
took 1t into her head to go after him
through the courts for non-payment Of
alimony. There were a number of rea-
sons why he shouldn't pay, but he
didn't care to stay here and argue it
out with the court, so, getting a tip
on what was doing, he decided to go
back to the cattle in Kittitas. About
q O'Clock one evening, accompanied
by his horse wrangler who happened
to be here with him, he struck out
horseback for Ellensburg. The two
rode all night-it was in midsummer
and at the full of the moon-and the
next morning they ate breakfast in
Ellensburg-10O miles away. And they
didn't think it was much Of a ride at
that.
Rides? Why, l could talk all day
about rides in those days. One of
the best ever done in the territory,
however, was that by young half
breed during the Nez Perces uprising
of 1877. When Joseph went out with
his band one of the first things they
did was to cut the military telegraph
between Fort Lapwai up the Clear
water river from Lewiston and Walla
Walla. Fort Lapwai wanted to send
dispatches to Gen. Howard at the post
at Walla Walla, and wanted to send
them bad At that time nearly all the
Indians on the reservation had a half
breed or at least one pretty good horse
in his riding string. This particular
young half-breed boy had an extra
good one, and he was selected to carry
the dispatches, being reliable and
faithful fellow. Well, he rode through
to Walla Walla in ten hours, q distance
Of 100 miles, and during the ride he
never slowed down from gallon
That was in midsummer, and if you
ever have been in that Snake river
region at this season Of the year you
can imagine that was some riding

Sheep Shcarings.

The way to keep ideal sheep is by
trying to improve them.
Sheep are always improving or they
are deteriOrating.
Stationary troughs and racks are not
desirable in the sheep stable,
Ewes will produce larger and better
lambs If in plump condition at time Of
mating
AT weaving, If possible, the ewes
should he placed in a field out Of hear
ing Of the lambs.
An uneven lot Of good sheep are bet
ter than an uneven lot of poor ones.
1t is well to place the ewes on short
pasture for a week or more after the
lambs are weaned.
In fattening sheep especially. pune
tuality in feeding should be strictly
observed.
In many cases, after the corn is laid
by, the sheep may be turned into the
cOrnfeld TO good advantage.
Sheep are easily managed, are first
class fertilizlng machines, good farm
scayengers and yield two haryests an
nually.

XIII Off the Cnhbnge Lice.

Cabbage aphis is one OF our worst
cabbage pests. The lice multiply very
rapidly when conditions favor them
and are a source of great loss and
annoyance. They may be killed only
by insecticides that smother, or kill by
contact; ordinary poisons have no eff
feet on plant lice. Kerosene emulsion
diluted with 10 parts of water, applied
thoroughly to the lower side of the
leaves when cabbage plants are small,
seed stocks In spring with carbon bi-
sulphide gets rid Of the original brood
The pest is nasty and should be treat
ed wherever found.-Farm and Home.

ly enough, as she admitted to herself,
the morning found her mind unchang
ed, with determination fixed to take
advantage of her leap year preroga-
tives.
The writer of the letter had gone
over in her mind its prospective CON
tents number of times, and as a re-
suit her editorial revision had "boiled
It down until it was brief and to the
point 1t ran as follows:
Dear Frank-You have been com
ing to see me for several years, and
the evenings spent together have made
me think how pleasant it would be if
we could go on spending them togeth-
err the rest of our lives. Has the idea
ever occurred to you? MIRIAM.'
Miss Leslie heard her brother pass
her door, preparatory to starting for
business, and she no longer waited for
the ink to dry. but grabbed a piece of
blotting-paper and the letter was soon
in the hands of her brother, who was
told THAI it was important and that it
must be mailed by him when on the
way 10 his office. The brothers dc
parture was timely, as Miriam had be-
gun to weaken in her determine ton,
and as she gave him the letter she said
to herself: Here's where | don't get
a chance to change my mind" She
did, however, have many changes of
mind through the day, which seemed
to her one of unusual length. Soon af-
ter her brother had left she was tempt
ed to telephone to him to try to get the
letter back from the postotfice, but
she didn't know if that would be posi-
Bile. and besides the request would
cause her brother to ask a good many
questions which it would be awkward
for her to answer, and so the request
was not made.
BY the afternoon mail Miriam re-
ceived letter addressed in the we'll
known handwriting of the young man
to whom she had proposed. rs it pos
sibe that he has answered so quick
ly?" she asked herself as she held the
envelope in her hand, fearing to open
it, She had had a little experience as
q writer and knew that quick returns
usually meant no sales, and her first
thought was shat Frank had declined

MIRIAM LESLIE'S PROPOSAL.
@O=

81 DON'T care If it is unmaidenlv.
I'm going to do it. know the
man loves me, and what is leap
year for if it isn't to give girls an op-
portunity to help out those of the other
sex who don't know how to help them
selves? SO here goes. He can't more
than refuse, and he won't do that: but
whatever the verdict, l know that
he is too honorable ever to breathe a
word of the affair"
When Miriam Leslie had concluded
the delivery of this speech, which had
only Miriam for an attentive audience,
she sat down at her desk at once and
began to write the letter which she
had planned the night before. after
Frank Webster had left the house. She
had parted from him with smile on
her lips, but the smile had lasted only
long enough for the door to close upon
him, and as Miriam had entered her
room she had looked far from happy
She had enjoyed Franks call; but it
had ended as unsatisfactory as had
all the others, in that words which
would have made her happy. and
which she believed had been almost
upon his lips many times, had again
remained unspoken. If the man She
loved wouldn't take a hint, he must
be given something broader than a
hint and when Miriam went to sleep
it was with the determination to write
a letter on the morrow that even a
stupid man might understand. Strange
