THE DAT CROP.

There is general complaint Of de-
terioration in the quality Of the oat
crop of much Of the territory embraced
within the limits Of the corn belt. The
average yield per acre is not what 1t
used to be, neither Is the quality Of the
grain anywhere near so good. AS the
prairie lands of the west become old
they seem to lose some constituent of
the soil essential to the production of q
first class oat. The crop seems less
nonresistant to blight, smut and rust.
the straw gets weaker, and In many
parts Of the corn belt territory oats
have become very Improbable crop
to raise. We attribute this degeneracy
chiefly to the general carelessness In
the matter of selecting seed grain,
which is usually taken from the bin
containing last seasons crop, poor as
the quality may be, and sowed without
any attempt being made to get rid Of
the weak End defective kernels. Such
marked good results have attended the
securing Of new seed from the fp-.
northern country to replace the poc-
stuff grown that it should receive moro
attention from all growers Of this 90
real.

Once she had stopped at a farmers
door for glass Of milk--for sick
traveller in the road above, she had
said, in hurried explanation-br bringing
the glass back after moment with
faintly-spoken yet earnest thanks.
AS his horse slackened his pace Just
as difficult sandy hill was being sur
mounted, Thomas glance, taking in
the broad expanse Of landscape, brill
liant under the rays of the westering
sun, caught sight of solitary wom-
ans figure on slope to the left.
The roads crossed just at the summit
of the hill; and. urging his horse to
the utmost, Thomas soon came within
view Of the figure again, this time not
far away.
Did the unknown journeyer have
some premonition that she was pur-
sued? It would seem so, for she start
ed like a hunted creature as the sound
of rapidly-rolling wheels drew nearer,
and ran into the thick wood that
skirted one side Of the road as If in
desperate search of refuge.
Thomas leaped from his carriage and
was at her side in an instant. His
touch on her shoulder seemed to par
alyze all power of motion.
She gave stifled cry. The long
cloak, already tangled in the thicket,
fell to her feet. With last vain eff
fort to go on, she staggered and reeled.
AS she fell, fainting and worn, in his
arms, the veil that had concealed her
features for SO many a weary hour be-
came freed from its fastenings and
drifted away.
Good heavens!" Thomas almost
gave way himself In the shock of dis
covery and the following revulsion Of
feeling.

You can't know! Do not try to stop
me. for mercy's sake!' But I see the
poor thing was well-nigh tagged out,
and just took her arm and walked
her into the kitchen, where my good
woman stood quite dumfounded. sit
you down there l says, putting her
into chair at the table. Breakfast
hadn't been cleared away, as good luck
would have it. Wife, says I, give the
girl as good a warm meal as you've
got. Now you must eat and drink;
you must make out good breakfast
I says, shaking my head at the gir4, or
/ shan't let you go. If you don't want
us to look at you, all right; we'll keep
away. But whatever your errand, you
need strength to carry it OUT
Thomas was listening with impatient
eagerness, but he could not forbear a
word of sincere thanks
Don't mention it, said the farmer
''Who could a done different? Well,
to make long story short, watched
her eat, but must say a canary bird
might have made out bigger break
fast than did this frightened, trem-
bling creature. We begged her to stay
and rest, wife and l, but she wouldn't
hear of 1t; and, after thanking us both
like lady, she set out Burnside way,
and Jim and l went over t. the city.
Poor girl! Out of her head? Well,
well, tell you what: better get team
somewhere. She's far ahead, you
know"
No better advice could be offered or
followed. In a few moments Thomas
was driving the fastest horse the vii
lage livery stable afforded, and clouds
of reddish dust marked his rapid prog
ress eastward.
He heard of the fugitive twice.
Once she had stopped to drink at a
wayside well, and group of children
had watched her as she rested mo-
ment and then went on, closely cloaked
and yelled, though the morning was
sultry.

TWO WAYS OUT.

We are in receipt Of a letter from g1
man who lives on western prairie
farm. In way he is supposed to ownj
1t, 100 acres Of good land, but reallyl
he has only an equity in 1t, being, ass
he says, so heavily in debt on the
farm that he feels sure he can never
pay out. He inquiries what he had bet
ter do, for there is not much pleasure
for him in living and carrying such a
burden of debt. He wishes to know,
just where he can go with what money,
he can realize on his equity and get
some cheap land. There are not few
men situated just as is our CORE
spondent, and so we answer his ques-
lions at some length. We are not at
all sure, but the very best thing he
can do is to just sell half his present
farm, pay up and be content to work
an eighty. There is much to commend
this plan. He can make just as much
clear money each year from eighty
acres by applying better methods Of
farming as from his 100 acres farmed
the old way; then he can retain and
enjoy the fruit Of his past years Of.
toll in keeping the old homestead WITH
It's nice orchard, its grove Of $500 ever

If he cannot reconcile himself to work

we should not be surprised If when he
returned he would be more than sat
