off with the balance of the mortgage,
provided the business is settled at
once"
"Why, Robert, what "a he mean?"
81 don't know. There's something in
it 1 don't understand; but, if you've no
objection, I'll so tomorrow and see
Lawyer Pannell about it." 80.
RoberS had expected to be only one
day from home; but he stayed three.
And, meantime, the odd boy, going to
| bring the COWS from the meadow, re-
ported that there were a number OF
men passing through the farm, looking
| about, examining the ground, and act
ing in q very strange and unaccount-
able amer.
"Good gracious!" thought Mrs. Lang.
IL. They surely can't be looking for
the gold streak"
She was very anxious for her sons
return. When he did come, she noticed
the bright glance and the brisk manne
in which he dismounted from his horse
and came straight toward her, as she
stood at the steps to welcome him.
"Well Rob, I see you've got good
news"
''The best news, mother" he an
swered, cheerfullS.
Tears came into her eyes.
II shall hate to give up the old home,
after ALL"
you needn't give it up, mother. We
won't sell the farm. Mr.. Davis was
sharp" he added, centemptuously, 'but
fortunately we escaped the trap he
baited so nicely"
"Why, what is the matter. RoPert?"
"Why, only this, mother. They are
going to run a new railway through
our farm, which will increase it's value
tenfOld."
His mothers first words showed how
much she had the happiness Of her son
at her motherly heart, when she said,
with m%oistening eyes:
You and Lefty can marry now, Rob.
ertn'
A few months afterward Mr.. Robert
Langly stood with his mother on one
side, and his wife leaning en- his arm,
on the meadow slope, watching from n
distance the busy laborers throwing up
a clay embankment, where the new
railway was to be laid.
The sun was slowly sinking on the
horizon, and its almost level rays shone
redly IN the yellow clay, freshly turned
up and cleaning in q long bright line
against the green of the fields beyond.
Dear mel" said Mrs. Langly. II
never knew there was so much clay on
the land; for all fathers talk about a
clay substrdtum over there and his
blowing in clover and mari. How red
and yellow it looks! and how that long
line of wet clay shines in the sunlight
like a streak of gold"
At this, Lefty turned with bright
eyes, full Of a sudden surprise.
"a streak of gold? o Robert, how
strange! Can this be the streak Of
gold-luck that your fathers Uncle Alick
foretold?' .
Mrs. Langly sank on the grassy bank,
quite Shaken" as she declared, with
this realization of the fulfllmelt of
the prophecy.-New York News.

Sell the Old Hens.

This IS good logic in a general way
but needs to be modified under certain
conditions. If we r trying to I'M
prove our flock, to add vigor and cor
rect certain faults that already exist
then we should hesitate about discard
ing the old hens from which we reareu
the chicks of the past season.
From them we get certain type
faults and good points clearly Defined
so that we are able to see exactly What
to strive for and what faults we may
expect to overcome. While it is true
that they will lay less eggs than tue
pullets will, still the fertility will De
greater, and the chicks will be stronger
and on the whole results will be more
satisfactory. If we are keeping poultry
for profit only, sell the old hens; II we
are keeping poultry in order to lmpro''
the fancy portion, keep them.

however, many large @breweries, ana
last year their combined production
aggregated nearly nine million gallons:
It is said that about 40 per cent. OF

Wealth From Fifty Acres.

What is 1t can De raised on nifty
acres? This depends upon the man
and the land. If the right man and
twenty-five cows are on the fifty acres,
the crops will be enormous and the
money returned big. The right man
will raise on six acres corn for ensilage
at least ninety tons.
Eight acres corn to mature corn, 400
bushels.
Eight acres corn to mature stover,
ten tons.
Ten acres winter oats to thrash, 400
bushels.
Ten acres winter oats to straw, seven
tons.
Six acres Of oats for hay, fifteen tons.
Three acres ofrrye- for spring feeding,
to May Is.
-Four acres of wheat for spring feed
ing, to June Is.
Two acres millet green feeding, to
July 10.
One acre of turnips, $50 bushels.
Ten acres of winter oats lot sown to
cowpeas will give of hay twelve tons.
Three. acres of rye land planted to
sorghum will give green feed, to to No
vember 1.
Six acres of the oat land planted
closely to corn will make slower fifteen
tons.
So the fifty acres will yield in tons
ITO; in bushels 1900; in summer freen
feed for eight months, and have ten
acres left for a permanent pasture.

Habits OF THE HOG.

Most leanl of Animals.
In an address before the Pennsylva.
MIA live stock breeders II. L. Munce
said of the hog: Give the hog a chance,
and he is the most cleanly of all the
domestic animals. He is as sanitary in
his habits as the most fastidious hui
man being, and when he is the object
of filth and squalor and made the sub
ject of disease it is when man has so
surrounded him that he has no choice
in the matter.
The hog does not need expensive
quarters to live and do we'll in. He
can be accommodated more easily than
any Of our animals. He needs first ac-
cess to pure air and water. These go
hand in hand with good feed to make
best returns. So long us he has a clean
spot to eat in and a clean dry bed to
sleep in, with the prevailing wind shut
off SO that it cannot blow directly on
him, he will do well and make a profit.
The rest of his surroundings he wiz
keep In order if he has room.
Some think it absolutely necessary to
have a place for the hog to wallow in.
l do not. Even in the hottest weather
shade and dry surroundings will keep
him healthy and much more presenta-

OF course we know that swallows
drink as they skim over the surface of
water. We have seen how here and
there the water ripples on a pond
when swallows are gracefully skim
ming to and fro. One day sat down
beside a small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows came to bathe
and drink on the surface of the CLASSY
water. With sketch book and pencil in
hand / closely watched the birds. and
you may imagine my delight to see just
how they managed to touch and dip up
the water as they came within a few
steps of me. You see. the swallow
takes up water in its lower bill just as
you would dip up little water IN a
spoon or In the hollow OF your hand
while you glided over the surface in a
boat. Only the under half OF the open
bill touches the water. II the upper
half were also to touch. the water
would be forced out on either side in
stead of being scooped up into the bill.
