This was certainly a candid state

not, because 1 was, as a rule, particu-
lally serious after Kathleen had gone

But pair Of blue eyes would keep
dancing in front of me ON my plotting
pad. Sometimes l thought they were
Kathleen's and sometimes l thought
they were-some one else's. kath-
leen's eyes and her Aunt Merva's were
strangely alike. l had noticed it be-
fore.
The room seemed quite cherries
now that she had gone.
In the intervening days the postmal
left strange notes for me.
Sometimes the missives were stuck
together with jujubes, but l had no
dlmculty in dec1pher1ng the signs.
They read: Don't forget the party
next We'n'sday." AS to the crosses
we'll, the most ignorant person knows
what those mean in a letter.
"We'n'sday" came at last, and, of
course, 1 went to the party. 1t was
a great success The house was turned
upside down by merry crowd Of little
folks who kept the fun going until
long after they ought to have been in
bed.
Kathleen queened it all very pref
tily, and after the last little guest had
departed and the blue eyes could
scarcely keep open, she persisted that
she wasn't bit tired, ''on'y hungry"
That was a subterfuge she was al
ways guilty of at bedtime.

My office door opened very
gently, and little face l knew
well peeped round. In sheer aston
ishment 1 dropped my pen.
"Kathleenr' 1 said. How in the
world did you get down here? You're
not by yourself, surely?"
"Oh, no; course, nursie's with me"
and the blue eyes smiled at me SO
sweetly; "but she's gone shopping.
I'm not to go till she comes for me. J"
But what will mother and auntie
say? They'll think you're lost
I'm too growed-up to get lost" she
said, with dignifed little air.

pretty blue coat and hat / shall ex-
peot to be told why you've honored
nle with a visit to the city during

She settled herself sedately In a
chair opposite to me, quite unconscious
OF the pretty picture she made with
her mass of fair hair and her sweet
little face.
It's a most 'portant visit" she said.
I've come to ask you to my party

Indeed? l shall be delighted to
come. So that's what brought you
down here, is it?'

A DREAM CRUISE.

My prayers I say and lay me down.
The lights of Starland CLEAN afar,
My trundle bed is Sleepy Town,
My window is the harbor bar.
Beyond the curtained patch Of blue
There lies a fair and wondrous sea;
My dream ship feels the flowing tide,
l hear my sailors calling me.
4 shallop skins across the blue,
And Jackies touch their hats, polite,
Come. get aboard, dear captain, do,
The bells are sounding candle light"
The lullaby my mother croons
Grows fainter and still fainter grows;
The bos'n pipes his merry tunes
And dances on his timber toes.
Heigh-ho! a merry crew, I ween,
For some are wood, and some are
dough,
And some before in books I've seen,
And some are dolls l used to know.
Now. where away, oh, captain, where!
I'd sail me swift, I'd sail me far,
The evening winds are blowing fair,
Wen head her for the Morning Star

Roots for Pasture.


Experiments have repeatedly shown
that it pays to let swine do their own
harvesting with certain root crops, al
though it must be remembered that
other feed constituting as nearly bal
anced ration as possible must also be
fed. Mangles or beets sugar beets)
sown now and cultivated more or less
during the summer will make a pas
ture crop on which the swine may be
burned in the fall with excellent re-
suits. When turned on to such pas
ture they should be permitted to do
as they please, which is generally to
consume the tops and then dig out the
roots.
OF course, the seed must be sown
on fairly good soil and soil that does
not bake too hard, else the swine can
not get at the roots. We make it
practice to turn them into this field
for about two hours daily and keep
up the barn feed Of a mixture Of corn
meal and middlings, which, with the
roots, constitute an almost perfect
ration. Sometimes a pasture is va
ried by giving them a turn on to the
last crop Of rape or on to grass Of
some kind and the change is salts

of preparing the hog for the fatten-
ing period is comparatively small and
the animal is in excellent shape to
take on weight quickly.

success in South Africa and will be,

PeddIinp Vegetables.

Located near a thriving summer re-
sort, the writer has for years observed
the methods employed By truckers as
we'll as by the men who buy all they
SELL and has observed that, in nine
cases out of ten, the latter are the
best merchants, and generally because
the vegetables they buy have been
graded by the wholesaler so that they
are presented to the consumer in an
attractive form The man who raises
vegetables, on the other hand, hates
to see anything he cannot sell, and he
tries to get rid of Gull stuff by hiding
it among the better vegetables. AS
result he soon loses his trade. A lady
housekeeper in town recently remark
ed that she rarely bought things Of
farmers because she found their prod
ucts were not reliable.
This is certainly a sad state Of af-
fairs, for who should better be able to
deliver first class stuff than the man
who raises it. And who is better able
to know what first class stuff is than
the farmer? There is not a man in
the country with a thriving town with
in easy reach who should not be able
practically to control the best
trade in that town in the prod
ucts of his farm, at least against
the middleman, If he will be
honest in the grading Of his goods
and put them up as attractively as the
competitor. Surely the average house
keeper prefers the vegetables fresh
from the ground to those that have
been shipped from distance; but, on
the other hand, she has no wish to find
culls among the things for which she
has paid fair price. See the point?

Glover Is Farmers Standby.

Clover is a mortgage-lifter and q
soil enricher. 1t fills the hay NOW
and the granary and the milk-pail 1t
thrives in a great variety of soils. 1t
only refuses to grow upon acid soil,
though it prefers soils with lime in
them. 1t carries the bacteria that
draw nitrogen from the air, and thus
enriches the soil in plant food. 1t
provides a forage rich in flesh and
bone builders. 1t is not nearly so
choice Of soils as alfalfa. 1t is the
safe forerunner Of corn and grass.
Red clover is strictly speaking a
biennial plant, it grows for two years,
then dies in its natural course. The
first year it makes strong root and
gets ready for its serious business in
life, the bloom and seed. The second
wear it makes seed and dies. There
are individual plants that do not make
seed the second year, or, making seed,
make so little that they survive in
weakened state another year or more
There are plants that bloom and die
the first year. Therefore, blooming the
first year should be discouraged, for
the best development does not come
until the second year. The mower
will prevent seed forming the first
year. 1t will not pay to continue the
clover meadow past the second year
unless there is grass sown with it
to carry on the sward.
AS to the best variety on worn souls
the mammoth is the best. Always
help clover with manure, bone meal
or phosphorus. 1t may be well to
add potash to the ration. 1t is as
tonishing how red clover responds to
light manuring with stable manure
Feed the baby clover plants, they will
then be the stronger to forage and
gather foods for the enrichment Of the
field
1t will be well to use a light seed

for hay when getting into bloom. Do
not omit this clipping, it is vital, as

The quantity Of lime required In

is advisable to test each lot Of the

Every bit Of poor butter sold by the
farmer is bought up, worked over and

cents?
Some cows give large flows of milk
Immediately after calving, but do not
keep it up very long and often go dry
in FIVE or six months and produce
comparatively little butter fat; while
others give only medium flow of
milk when fresh, but keep it up for
ten months and produce over 800
pounds of butter a year.
Better stock and more of it is what
you hear most about when you visit

awakening to the necessity existing
for better grade Of stock. Breed

along the line of finding q market for
a good share of their surplus. 1t will
prove a profitable venture to the
breeder who gets in on the ground
floor.
A successful poultry keeper once
received a letter from a man who
thought he would like to learn how to
run a farm. This man wrote: Il
could do the light work and the heavy
thinking for you" The answer that
went back by the next mail was:
"There is no light work on this farm,
and l am capable of doing the heavy
thinking myself The suggestion
from this man will illustrate the way
some people regard farming. They
have an idea that farmer needs
some on to think for him, and that
this thinking can be done by an out
slider who never did farm work. How
absurd such a thing would be in con-
nection with any other branch Of bust
ness-and good farming requires more
planning and hard thinking than any
other trade AS for this hunt for
light work. why cannot people see
that only the hardest and most pains

hard?
