CHAPTER XIV.
Who Fired the Shot2

VINO FIRED the ShcIT
The next morning at an early hour
pistol shot rang out sharp and
quick on the still air surrounding the
upper portion of Grovedale. 1t was
heard by many and commented upon.
One or two heard the shot with some
dismay, and made their way at once
In the direction of the sound.
1t appeared to be, as l have said,
at the upper end of the village, and
two or three men turned into the
street approaching Mr.. Hamilton's
house and walked toward it together.
These we're the men who had followed
the sound.
When they reached the grounds Of
the house they saw a group of people
Standing about a figure lying on the
grass. The group consisted Of Mr..
and Mrs. Hamilton and Mr.. Carter.
who stood back at their approach and
plainly revealed to their gaze the form
of Prlmus Edes lying, face upward,
on the ground.
who did it?" asked one Of the men,
Mr.. Green excitedly.
That's more than we can tell" said
Mr.. Carter. Il heard q shot and
jumped into my clothes and came
down. Vane had got here. somehow,
before l did. and my niece followed
,me. That's all we knew about the
smatter."
Shot himself. most likely" said
Mr.. Dawes, a grocer on Main street.
"Eades has looked down-hearted for
long time. wonder where the PTS

he did it himself"

But the grass as short. there was

row Of rosebushes a few feet away.

A Permanent Silo.

A farmer came into the Farmers
Review office the other day and began
to discuss the matter of silos. He
said that in his locality some cheap
sllos had been put up years ago and
that, as a consequence, the farmers
there were doubtful as to whether or
not they had made any money out of
the enterprise. He declared that If
the farmers had to repair their silo
every year and in ten years buy a new
silo 1t was hard to figure out a profit
over the old way of doing business.
We called his attention to the fact
that the Farmers Review has never
advocated the building of the tenn.
porary cheap silos. A silo should be
built to last life time and be so per.
fectly constructed that it will need
no repairs at any time, and will not
need to be rebuilt. There are many
such silos in use to-day. H. B. Cur
Ter told the writer that all his silos
would last longer than a life time
and that he would not think of build
ing any other kind. There are to-day
being constructed silos that will last
during several life-times. 1t is prob
able that the metal silos will prove to
be very enduring, requiring only to re-
receive coat of tar or other liquid
dressing once in several years. What
ever the kind put up see that 1t Is no,
one that will tumble down If neglect.
ed. The time of the farmer is so
fully occupied that he must adjust all
his work, so far as possible, to get
along without more attention than
necessary. An implement, building or
fence built to remain and last with
little attention is labor-saving de.
vice. Build permanent silo.-Farm-

been Preparatlon Of Land.

1t pays to pillow the land deep for any
kind of fruit before the plants that are
to bear that fruit are set out. On land
that has never been plowed deeply, the
roots of plants hold close to the sur
face. Perhaps they get enough food
in this way but 1t is much to their
detriment in dry seasons at least, and
the roots near the surface interfere
with the after cultivation of the
ground A mellow soil invites the
roots to strike deep instead OF running
along the surface Of the ground.

airy last, when copy of Titus An.

was discovered in a Swedish cottage.
This was very important discovery,
not orly because of the rarity of the
edition, out because it proves conclu-

and brings to an end the controversy
which has long been carried on be-
