"Oh,' she said, breathlessly, Il don't

And, before he had time to give even
guess at her meaning, she had fled up
the steep path to the village.
But the beautiful mobile face told him
nothing. His eyes dropped to the para

most beautiful and popular girls in So

You have to pay-theres no redress.

It's backed up by our President.

From "stork" he offers no relief.
Last year, when all the rest turned blue,
This one was safe from Cortelyou.

THE FARMERS GARDEN.
It Is Generally a Case Of Starving
Where There Might Be Plenty
on the Table.

Last summer when we were reveling
in berries and number of kinds of
vegetables, a number of children from
farm home several miles distant called
to spend the day with our children. At
dinner we had peas, radishes, lettuce
and strawberries, among other things,
and the timid way in which our visitors
ate the vegetables and fruit attracted
attention, because they were not at all
timid about the other food offered them.
Careful inquiry revealed the fact that
at home everything of the vegetable or
fruit nature was sold; not much was
grown at best, but what there was had
to go to the market. while the family
kept closely to such meat as was raised
on the farm.
What shame, when it was possible
to give these youngsters what they
craved at the cost of so little money
and effort. 1t seems as if the majority
of, farmers had given up the kitchen
garden, and If any vegetables are
grown for the home table, it is only be-
cause the women take a hand in it.

magazines are about seven inches wide,
the rack may be made 20 inches or 20

Having decided ON the length of the

the worker to use greater economy in
laying out and in cutting up his lumber
The projection of the front and back
strips over the two sides, as shown in
Fig. 66, is one-quarter inch, and the
thickness of the sides and of the shelf
is one-half inch. If the rack is to be 20
inches long inside. our stock list will

on the board from which they are to be
sawed, mark each piece one-quarter incn
wider and one inch longer than the
above net sizes. This is the extra allow

Pure Water

It has been the experience Of many
farmers that pure water is necessary for
the health Of the herd Of swine. It is
easy to say. give pure water, but it ,ls
not always easy to give it. The farmer
that has good windmill that Is draw
ing water from a considerable derth is
In a position to give pure water ana an
abundance of it. But, remarks the
Farmers Review, we have too often
seen the larger stock of the farm sup
piled with pure water and the hogs left
Sto get water the best way they could
from sloughs or from brooks almost dry
in the summer time. Water is the SOL
vent for the food, and In 1t all the food
that goes into the body Of the hog must
be dissolved II it is to be used at all.
The growing and even the fattening hog
uses an immense amount Of water. Elk

water supplies are numerous. -
