CHAPTER Xxx.

Another night, in which Lizzy Wickly
Is in a tumult, a brain-whirl of excite
ment that shuts out of her mind any of
all the thoughts and feelings of her or
binary everyday life.
That wealth is not even the least of
the elements of happiness she demon
strated effectually in her own self-con-
temptation. The first flash of excitement
had been that feeling, perhaps. which in
the gambler makes him tremble with I'M
utterable eagerness over n heavy stake,
which. when he has won. is of no further
value in his eyes than is given it by its
power to reproduce that same state of
expectation. This she recognized as that
inherent love of peril, that disposition to
brave dangers, that in some degree and
in some form exists in every human or
ganization. The feeling of qualification
had been as transient as the fitting mo-
ment in which the event had been in
allegiance. She had at once settled back
into the groove of her ordinary thought.
For now she fully recognized the fact
that it never had been Huntley, the in
visible professor Of geology; Huntley. the
man of straw; Huntley. the principal and
employer. that she had loved. She did
not doubt now that had a real Huntley
appeared-suoh a real Huntley as Mr..
Mason Huntley had imposed upon her
she would have decided between them at
once, upon their simultaneous presenta-
ton before her. And that decision. she
now knew, would, at any moment of all
the time in which she had known the
genuine Huntley, have been against any
other man in all the world.
Early in the evening she had dressed
herself in one of those prettiest of all
\ pretty summer dresses-a white Swiss
muslin-with an unlimited number of
rufhes and tucks in the skirt, and with
little knots of blue ribbon here and there,
and a bunch of the purplish, sweet-smell-
ing wild flowers pinned upon her shape
ly left shoulder. She had gone backward
and forward before the little mirror, in
the middle of the room, with her face
turned first over this shoulder and then
over that, to see IL the skirts hung ex-
actly right, and to see how we'll she real
ly looked in the glass, as even the best
and most sensible girls In the world will
do, in spite Of all the jeering and sarcas'
tic remarks about them for their vanity
and self-love. She had taken out OF Its

Radishes.

The radish is one Of the early sea.
son garden crops, quick growing and
hardy. For best development it re-
quires rather cool weather, and to
grow tender radishes it Is necessary
to have a continuous growth from be-
ginning to end.
AS soon as the ground can be work
ed In spring, SOW large, heavy seed.
The soil should be clean, rich garden
soil. 1t Is advisable to SOW a new crop
every ten days, to keep up a contin-
uous supply. In about four to six
weeks after planting, the radishes will
be ready for table use.
The rows should be from six inches
to a foot apart, and the seed covered
about half an inch in depth. Drop
two or three seed every inch in the
row 1t will require about an ounce
of seed for 100 feet Of row; eight to
ten pounds for an acre.
When grown In hot weather, radish-
es are apt to be stringy and tough.
Winter radishes are planted the lat
ter part Of July or the first of August,
and are grown the same as turnips.
Being firm and tender they keep well
over winter If stored in pits or a dry
cellar.
The most popular market radish is
the French Breakfast, Scarlet Short
Top, Charter and Wood Early Frame.
For winter the White and Black Ma
pies and the White Vienna are very
good.

together at the top by a heavy bolt.
Some six or eight inches below the
union Of the three legs a heavy clevis
Is secured to the middle leg. From this
clevis two chains extend downward to

which then hangs suspended. The
length Of the legs will depend on con-
venience and the size of the kettle
they are to support. Those shown in
the cut are eleven feet in length and
were made from medium sized well
seasoned fence rails. When the der
rick is not in use it can be lowered,
folded together and laid away.-Cor.

Growth of Agriculture.

According TO the statistical abstract
Of the United States, issued from the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
there were, in 1900, 5,139,651 farms in
thls country, an increase Of 1,175,O18
IN ten years. There were engaged I'm
agriculture, in 1900, 10,43S,219 persons,
while in 1890 there were $685., 926, an
Increase Of 1,s72,293 The increase In
the total population for the period
stated was 1901 ,4S4, so Of this in
crease over "A per cent must have en-
gagged in farming.
The value Of farms and farm prop
erty Increased from 1902, 2e7, $3.50 in
1890 30 $20,514,O O1 1893 in 1900, a diff
ference Of $4,431, 1874, 149. The value
Of farm products increased 81, 3O4, O7O,-
252, the value in 1900 being 49, e4, IT.
1O8. This does moi include value Of
products not fed to live stock.
The total number Of acres in farms
in 1900 was S3S, sol, ia, the average
number Of acres to a farm being 1892,
while in 1890 it was 1865. The per
cent Of improved farm land was de
creased 8 per cent in the last ten
years.
The greatest increase in the number
of farms has been in the States Of Col
orado, Arizona, Idaho, Montana ana
New Mexico.
In the production of corn and wheat
there has been a corresponding in
crease. In 1890 there were Lass, &c.
600 bushels produced and In 1900
2.1O5, 1902, 518 bushels, while OF wheat
in 1890 the crop was 800, 262, 600 bush
els and 1t increased to 500, 229, sos
bushels in 1900.
Thus 1t will be seer that whatever
the gain in commerce and manufac-
lures the relative gain In farming has
held Its w Agriculture, too, has
been lifted to a higher plane thar ,or-
merly. 1t Is no longer said that ANY
body can farm" Agriculture Is rapidly
attaining the dignity Of a profession,
and special preparation and education
al equipment are nov regarded as nee
essary for success In this avocation as
in any other.

Aberdcen-Angus In the Dairy.

In Australia the Aberdeen-Angus
cows are highly esteemed for dairy
purposes. A correspondent, writing to
a Scotch exchange, says that pure bred
heifers are not to be had in sufficient
numbers and that breeders are mating
the Angus bull with Ayrshire cows to
obtain good mixers. At the royal show
at Sydney in 1902 a cow of this cross
was champion in the dairy test and
gave in three days 134.14 pounds Of
milk, yielding 6,95 pounds Of butter
fat

Pruning Roots of Trees.

While there may be merit in the
method Of planting known as the
Stringfellow plan, which provides for
cutting away most Of the roots Of the
young tree as we'll as the top, 1t Is a
plan which does not work we'll with
all species Of trees nor in all soils.
AS a result the average orchardist will
stick to the best OF the old methods

The Hanging of the Kettle.

There are many farmers in need OF
something convenient to hang a large
kettle on. Many support the kettle
OH three stones, which is unsatisfac-
tory, especially If the heat cracks one
stone and the kettle tips over. The

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Through the practice OF the law and
Intervention Of clever technicalities
the tendency to evade and ignore the
law has grown steadily. not alone in
the Southwest-(our world Lut
throughout the nation. The occur.
renee and recurrence OF events con
tinue to suggest the need Of a more
rigid enforcement of all the laws.
The fact tnat life has been held
too cheap in that radius encircling
Durango is not alone within our keep
ing. but has gone abroad. 1t is not
necessary to discuss or admit that
tragedies have occurred which we're
justified by the law, but 1t is oppor-
tunely necessary to discuss the fact
that many OF the tragedies which have
been thus justified were ir fact with
out justification.
II would seem that the time is ripe
for a more rigid inquiry into all mat
ters Of a criminal nature coming be-
fore the courts. Within tie past few
years individuals charged with crime
and acquitted have been surrounded
with such facts as to convince the
public mind that they should have
been punished. This statement is not
intended to reflect discredit upon the
trial court or proper officers sworn to
enforce the law, but rather is intended
to reflect upon the low and lowering
moral ebb Of citizenship which has
permitted the courts and officers to
try cases at issue without furnishing
facts that would convict and serve
better the ends Of justice. Too many
killings occurring in this country
have been planned and conspired be-
fore act and aoneycombed with con-
spirscy to defraud Justice afterward.
Then II must become the duty OF
svsry patriotic citizen to lend his ef-
fort 70 . more comprehensive enforce
neat of Ill the laws.
