MONEY IN THE GARDEN.

The family garden usually pays
greater profit on the labor besto we'd
on 1t than any other portion of the
farm, even when managed by the old
fashioned method OF small plats and
beds and hand cultivation. This be-
ing the case, 1t surely can be made to
pay much greater ratio of profit by
planning to plant every thing pessi-
BILE In long rows far enough apart
so as to work them with a horse and
cultivator, thus greatly relieving
your own muscles. And the saving in
cost Of civilizations is only a small
part Of the benefit of the long row
arrangement. 1t will naturally lead
to much more frequent and thorough
cultivation of our garden crops.
Many farmers are prone to neglect the
garden on account of their field crops,
and as under their management the
manual labor in the former is much
greater, they are more inclined to give
their time and attention to the lat
ter which might not be the case were
1t SO arranged that the labor was no
greater. The important advantage of
frequent stirring of the surface soil
alhons all our growing crops, we are
convinced 1t is too often greatly un-
derestimated. 1t is said that 1t pays
to hoe the cabbage every morning dur
ing the early part of the season, and
although this may be carrying it to
the extreme. we are convinced that
more frequent cultivation than is
primarily given might prove profita-
Bile. The frequent breaking of the
crust admits of freer circulation of
the air to the roots and aids them to
make the most of all the dews and
rains which fall. The manufacture
and assimilation of plant food gets on
more rapidly and to a certain extent,
cultivation is found to be a substitute
for manure. Next to actual arrigation,
frequent and continual surface cult
vation aids in securing and retaining
moisture and supplying it the grow
ing plants. More moisture is lost by
evaporation through hard, compact
soil, than is used by the whole CROP
Another benefit derived from the long
row system is the almost certain en-
largement of the frrit and vegeta5lL
garden.

FEED HOGS ON A PLATFORM.

Large quantities of corn annually
are wasted on many farms in the
corn bet where hogs are fed, simply
because they are fed on the ground
instead of on a low platform. Econ
omy is of great Importance in any
kind of feeding. and it will be par
ticularly advisable this year in feed
ing corn to hogs to SO dispense it as
to prevent unnecessary loss Much of
the corn given hogs is tramped into
the ground and thus escapes Wher-
ever they are fed considerable root
ing will be done, and when rains
come places are formed into which
hundreds of kernels find their way
Every farmer knows this well enough
We have suggested a low platform as
means of checking the loss iDdicat-
ed. 1t should be of cement or coarse
oak lumber, and be large enough to
accommodate the number of hogs fed
up to large herd. 1t would not, of
course. be practicable to construct a
platform large enough for very large
numbers of swine. The platform
should be almost three or four inches
from the ground. Hogs fed on this
platform will get every grain of com
given them, and it will more than pay
for itself in short time

CHAPTER XVII.
To the Rescue.


II was the hour of the evening meal
at isle Rugen. AT the table head sat
Theresa Won Lynar, her largely mold
ed and beautiful face showing no sign
of emotion. On either side of her
were Joan and Prince Conrad-not
sad. neither avoiding nor seeking the
contingence of eye and eye, but yet,
in spite of all, so strange a thing is
love once declared, happy within their
heart of hearts.
X had been growing wilder and wild
er without. and the shrill lament of
the wind was distinctly heard in the
wide chimney top. Now and then in
lull, broad splashes of rain fell SOL
idly into the red embers with sound
like musket balls ''spatting" on a
wall
Then Theresa Won Lynar looked up.
Where Is Max Ulrich?" she said;
"why does he delay?"
my lady one of the men OF Kerns-
berg answered, saluting, ''he is gone
across the Haff in the boat, and has
not yet returned"
Il will go and look for him-nay, do
not iioe, my ioiu. Mouiu 81 ioith
ulonel"
Theresa stood upon the inner curve
of the Half at the place where Max
Ulrich was wont to pull his boat
ashore. She looked long southwark
under her hand, but for the moment
could see nothing.
And though Theresa Won Lynar was
yet in the prime of her glorious
beauty, one could see what she must
have been in the days of her girlhood.
And as memory caused her eyes to
grow misty and the smile of love and
trust eternal came upon her lips,
twenty years were shorn away, and
the woman's face which had looked
anxiously across the darkening Haff
changed to that of the girl who from
the gate of Castle Won Lynar had
watched for the coming of Duke
Henry.
She turned and walked back facing
the storm. Her hood had been blown
from her head by the furious gusts
of wind. But she needed not. She
had forgotten poor Max Ulrich and
Joan, and even herself. She had for
gotten her son. Her hand was out in
the storm now. She did not draw it
back, though the water ran from her
finger tips. For 1t was clasped in an
unseen grasp and in an ear that
surely heard she was whispering her
hearts troth. God give it to me to
do one deed-only one before die

When Theresa re-entered the hall

she had left them. ''rhere is no sign

SUMMER SHADE FOR POULTRY.

When poultry are confined during
the summer to yards of varying di-
mensions, there must be a certain
amount of shade provided in order to
keep them in the best condition. The
shade of a building for portion of
The day is all right, although the
shade of bushes or trees is more de-
sirable. If the poultry yard is located
where it is not possible to Obtain
shade in the manner indicated, it is
good plan to either train vines over
portion of the poultry fence on the
sunny side. In a few weeks this will
be high enough to provide consider
able shade and as it grows, of course
will furnish more shade.
If it is possible to locate the poul-
try yard where there are bushes or
trees of no particular value it will be
good plan to arrange it in this way,
so that the fowls may have the bene-
fit not only of the shade, but of dust
ing in the soil under the trees or
plants.
If fair amount of shade is provid-
ed during the summer with an abund-
ance of fresh. cool water during the
day. and the fowls allowed to run for
an hour or two just before roosting
time, most of the breeds will bear
confinement very we'll. 1t will be a
little hard on the smaller and more
active fowls like the Leghorns, but
the Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks
will stand the confinement and keep
in good condition.

The little company which set cut
from Isle Rugen to ride to Courtland
had no thought or intention of reseu-
ing Maurice Won Lynar by force OF
arms. They knew their own imp,t-
ence far too exactly.
If her renunciation of her dignities
were laughed at, as she feared, there
was nothing for Joan but to deliver
herself to Prince Louis. She had fs-
princess in all that it concerned the
outer world to see. Their provinces
would be united. Kernsberg and Hs-
henstein delivered into his hand.
On his part, Werner Won Orseln was
prepared to point out to the Prince
of Courtland that with Joan as his

Bees do not swarm every year, but
only such years as give a bountiful
supply of honey. 1t seems by natural
instinct they can, at least to some ex-
tent, foretell the season. 1t requires
a good honey flow to induce them to
swarm. and in this they seldom make
a mistake. We have very frequently
noticed that when little or no attempt
is made to swarm, and also at a time
of a very good honey flow, that it fol-
lowed a poor honey season. On the
other hand, when 1t seemed that all
energy was bent in the direction of
swarming, a large crop of honey was
the result. Bees often make all prep
arations for swarming, and the swarm
is due to come off, but they failed to
come, and swarming was given up for
the time being, the surplus queens or
queen cells being destroyed.

NoVICES AND INCUBAToRs.

Recently a gentleman said that he
had a mortgage on farm and was
inclined to buy number of incuba-
tors and put them on the farm in
charge of his brother. He thought
he could thus build up a good poul-
try business. His idea seemed to be
that all he had to do was 10 put the
money into the work and it would run
itself. On inquiry, 1t was found that
he knew nothing at all about poultry
culture. The writer advised him to go
slow, as there is no branch of farm
ing that does not have to be learned.
1t is not for the benefit of poultry sci
ence to have men rush into poultry
raising in this way. They must ap-
proach the business from a proper
standpoint to make a success of it.

THIRSTY BEES.

Just at this time when every bee
counts in keeping up the heat of the
hive and in caring for the young brood
1t is important that suitable watering
placc should be provided in order that
no more of the hold-over workers shall
bo lost in drinking at bitches and
troughs than can be helped. A simple
watering arrangement and one that
will serve the purpose of providing the
bees a permanent place which they
will patronize quite regularly in
short time is made with box or table.
Tack on piece of burlap or coarse
canvas with a barrel or keg located at
the upper edge. The barrel should be
kept filed with fresh water and COW
cred while the water trickles out of
small gimlet hole near the bottom and
spreads slowly across the table
through the meshes of the goods. This
forms an ideal foothold for the bees
while they sip the water without dan
ger of drowning or being disturbed.
