CHAPTER XII.

Lord Lorrimore was with a body of
vlgilantcs near the spot where the fore
going Incidents took place, and he saw
Lavarick darting away with the un-
conscious Sylvia. He Immediately gave
such hot chase that the villain was
obliged to drop his captive to make
good his escape.
Lord Lorrimore's heart stood still al
he saw the girl fall. He pulled up,
leaped from his horse and bent over
Sylvia. The moon shone full upon her
white, upturned face, and he was
startled to find that what he had taken
for a was but a young girl
He placed her In the saddle, and sup
porting her 10 that her head rested on
his shoulder, he led the horse slowly
and carefully back toward the wood.

Early in the nineteenth century q
yearly drive over the Pennsylvania
mountains Of all the live stock the
1t was no light matter to arrange an
itinerary over the mountains for tho
different droves, whether Of steers,
hogs, or turkeys, which must arrive
unimpaired at the end of their journey
OF 400 miles. In Harm Jan Huide-
koper" the story Of the animal drive
is given:
Before the setting out Of a drove
of cattle came the branding; this &c
complished, OF they went or their
long tramp. The first few miles were
the worst for the men and dogs, 10.
SO long ms the steers were upon
familiar ground they would make bold
dashes for liberty; but once away
from their own haunts forever, they
became timid and docile-were road
broken, as the phrase was and
would jog on quietly at command.
Often the cattle must simply be
kept alive by foraging for themselves
upon the wayside trees and herbs.
That was when they were among the
mountains or in the solitary wilder
ness.
When partially settled regions were
reached the help OF the country people
would be sought, and, word having
been sent in advance, at certain farms
along the route good p~asturage would
be reserved. In large fenced-in fields
OF growing grass. the tired beasts
could be corraIIed and allowed to feed
and rest, while the men found entss-
| tainment under the farmers roof. A
| charge OF two, three or -four cents q
head for the cattle was the common
rate at these stopping places. 1t en-
abied the farmer to turn his grass
into money without the labor Of now
ing or pitching.
Were the drove made up Of sheep,
the farmers children frequently be-
came the ~possessors Of weakhng
lambs, and childish hangers-oD would
| often follow the drove for miles, in
| the hope of obtaining u OF these
iaggards.
AS for the turkeys, as many ms
5000 OF these would sometimes be
collected for q single drive. They
need great care and patience. During
the first days they always grew very
foot-sore, and must proceed by short
and easy stages until their delicate
BIRDS fee had been hardened by use.
Moreover, shortly before sunset, no
matter where they might be, the
whole flock would begin to roost.
The drove Of swine we're the great
est trouble, each on its W hoggtsh
hook, for the hog follows no leader,
and on such personally conducted
parties is distinguished chiefly by con-
tinuous outbreaks of h most orig.
inai sin, Nevertheless, after due trib-
uiation all these droves were some
how conveyed to their destination.

selection Of food.

selection Of food:
! Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures: many have been offered
to Congress-, but all thus far seem oo-
jectionable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians
ia formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people ana
vet avoid harm to honest makers ana
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government commission or ofncer
has the right to fix food
to define what the people snail anu
shall not eat, for what agrees with one
NAV not agree with another and such
act would deprive. the common citizen
of his personal liberty. The Postum
Cereal Company, Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared 1oous III
the world, have naturally a close
knowledge of the needs of the people
and the details Of the business or the
p%urveyors (the retail grocer and, gulo-
ed by this experience have prepared a
bill for submission to Congress which
Is intended to accomplish the desired
| ends, and inasmuch as a citizen or the
q. s. has a right to food protection
even when he enters another State 1T
is deemed proper that he eDvernment
take control of this matter and pro-
vide a national law to govern all the
states. A copy Of the bill is herewith
reproduced.
Section 1 governs the maker wheth-
er the food is put up in small pack
ages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or
otherwise. r s."
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food IN
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copyo Of the statement
Of the maker which was ahxed 10 tue
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement Of ingredients he must
publish the statement OF the X
and add his W name and address as
a guarantee Of his selling the food as
Il is represented to him, which relieves
the retxler Of responsibility OF the
truth OF the statement and throws 1t
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain
themselves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning OF Its
existence printed on the outside OF
each and every pkg. of Postum n
Grape-Nuts food a truthful and exact
statement Of what the contents were
made Of in order that the consumer
might know precisely what he or she
was eating. A person desiring to buy,
for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly
and willing to pay the price has a right
to expect not only an equivalent for
the cost but a further right to a GER
tainty as to what he eats. Or he may
be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part Of fruit juices, sugar and a
portion Of glucose. But he must be
supplied with truthful information Of
the ingredients and be permitted to
use his personal liberty to select his
W food accurately.

tongues of willow-leaf fame which
were blown upward from the Musco-

"Why, only this. We have been duped.
She was a traitress, after all. This has

"Traitress or saint, it is none of our

STABLE AND DAIRY.

More good cows are spoiled every
year by careless milking than any

the best COW to decrease.

Cattle will eat nearly the whole of it

and its succulent leaf.
Fix it in mind that it pays to have
the stock comfortable. to say nothing
of the humanity of it. They will make
gain more rapidly and give better
profit on the food consumed.
Milking should not only be done
thoroughly, but quickly; and there
should be no noise whatever, unless
quiet singing. 1t is said that a sing
ing mixer is paid an extra price in
Switzerland
Frosted grass is not good thing
for colts, nor is there much virtue in
it for any stock. If the cattle remain
on pasture after hard frosts come, see
that they have something beside the
grass to eat.
If farmer has not the time to train
colt himself. competent man can
be found to do it, who can in a few
weeks have a colt so trained that a
buyer can see at once what qualities
it possesses. An outlay will be more
than covered in the price.
In sending unframed horses to mar
ket. breeders seem to overlook the
fact that it is not merely the form nor
color nor condition which determines
the price which animals will command.
The chief thing buyer wants to know
is what the horse can do.

THE BEST TIME FOR PLANTING
CURRANTS.

Currants are about the cheapest
and easiest crop of fruit to produce,
requiring very little time and labor as
compared with many others, states

what might be termed a catch crop.
they are indispensable. when growr.
between plum, pear, peach. cherry an6
ounce trees. They can be grown in
an orchard of any of these fruits with
out retarding or injuring the trees.
When currants are fruited in this way
1t is merely question of more manure
or fertilizer. Every intelligent fruit
grower will understand this at once
Under this system of intensive garden
ing you have nice income from your
currants, while your fruit trees are de-
veloping and getting ready for fruit
ing.
1t depends entirely upon yourself as
to how long these bushes will bear
large, marketable fruit.
No matter how great a sacrifice it
may seem, you should remove two
thirds of the new wood each season.
Failing to do this, you will soon have
lot of overgrown bushes on your
hands, and the fruit will dwindle in
size and be imperfect in many ways.
On the other hand. if you prune judi
ciously, spray as often as is neces-
sary, manure well and cultivate thor
oughly you can keep your plantation
of currants in perfect order for at
least ten years and one year with an
other, you will be well recompensed
for your investment and labor.

STREET TREE PLANTING.

There is no city or village so poor
but they could be made more attrac-
tive by planting trees and otherwise
embellishing their streets; planting
shrubs and flowers, giving them a
parklike appearance, and testifying to
the refinement of their people. / was
never more surprised at the comfort
growing out of tree planting than in
visiting Blair, Neb., last autumn AL

prairie. originally, the town to-day
has the appearance of having been To-
Gated in the wood, the trees having
been preserved. | learned that the
city was the creation of a railroad
magnate whose name it bears-John
l. Blair. He, in locating the town,
imposed two conditions; one that the
purchaser must plant rod maintain a
certain number of shade trees; an
other that intoxicants shall never be
sold within the town limits.
The trees everywhere testify his
forethought, and to-day there are few
prettier towns than Blair, Neb. Tall.
stately cottonwoods, grand elms and
beautiful hard naples spread their
sheltering branches over modest
dwellings. The glory of the city of
Blair is not in her buildings, nor in
her architectural beauty, as few of
her buildings are expensive, but it is
in her streets. and while being driven
around / was lead to exclaim, What

NAMES FOR FARMS.

We wish that every farm had a
name. This is not matter of senti-
ment but is strictly business. The
man whose farm is known by name is
certain to take greater interest in
its products and to conduct all of his
operations on a better plan. On
every place there is certain to be
some popularity that will suggest a
name. A spring of pure water, a
grove of oak or maple trees or some
thing else of similar nature will
give 1t local flavor. Then plant its
name on the end of the barn facing
the road. Let 1t be where every pass
erby can see it. Your farm will then
soon become known far and wide and
will aid you in thousand ways. Be-
sides. how much more dignified it is
to DE spoken of as the proprietor of
Oak Grove farm than to be alluded to
as Jim Jones. By all means name
your farm and 1t will make you a bet

war-captains could see the Cossacks
drop their lences and pause in their
unwearying ride. They appeared to

the watchers saw another man stand,
