Egg-,Plants.

Eggplants are more tender than to-
matoes. They should not be trusted
in the open ground for at least two
weeks after the early tomatoes, and
even then there need be no hurry
about them It is not safs to put them
out before the. weather is warm and
the ground In good condition to keep
them growing. Eggplants are tropical.
They have not yet adapted themselves
to cool climates. .as wesl as the tomato,

cultivation must elapse before they

will upset the best flock of layers ever

kept in prime condition on certain
feed formula, it is great folly to
change.
Corn should not be entirely taken
from the bill of fare. But under no
circumstances should it be exclusively
given or made the bulk of the diet, un-
less in case of fattening for market.
F. L. Cooper gives this strong In
dorsement of 1inseed meal: Make use

maker, flesh former, health promoter
and digester, and a preventive OF
roup, indigestion and many other dis
orders of the fowl family.
r L. E. Keyser says he finds buck
wheat one of the best whole grain
foods for hens. They never become
cloyed on it, and it is a great egg
producing grain. In experiments made
in feeding during the past winter,
where the evening feed had been
wholly Of corn. he found that the sub
stitution of buckwheat materially in
creased the egg yield.
The Texas Farmer tried an expert

fed on cut bone three times week,
and the other was not: Those fed on
bone grew faster, developed more rap
idly and In every way were superior
to those which were not. Green cut
bone was found to have a decided ten
dency to develop combs and wattles

CHAPTER XVI.

of a settler. The good man was unfa-
miliar with the upper shore, and we
got no help in our mystery. Starting
west, in the woods on our way to the
harbor, We stopped here and there to
listen, but heard only wood-thrush and
partcidge-the fife and drum of nature.

trees and the brooks: The feel of the

of telling him whence they had come
and where they were going, but he had
no understanding of map. / remem-
ber, after We had come to the .harbor

eral asked him to indicate our landing
place and our journey home on a big
map. at headquarters. *D'ri studied the
map a brief while. There was a look
of embarrassment on his sober face.

finger of his right hand in, the viciil-

with the physician express the opinion
that he is out of the city only tempo

turn ana make good the amounts Sc
cured at the bank, but Others do not
take so hopeful a view of the matter.
The physician gave his attorney to un-
derstand that he required some money
from his former home in the east. He
filed out and subscribed his name to a
sight draft for $3.50 and induced the
attorney to indorsc the draft. This was
presented at a bank, ana everything
being regular, the draft was cashed.
The physician is alleged to have aft
forwards presented another draft for
500 at the same bank, upon which he
secured the money. This draft did not
bear the Endorsement OF the attorney.
Both drafts nave been returned Union

We're drawn, and low the Pinkerton
