Advertising is to the merchant what
pl0wing is to the farmer. Imagine a
farmer trying to raise Il crop by sit
ting on the fence, as he looks over Il
ten-acre field, wishing that Il nice
crop OF wheat or corn would spring up
in it. Ridiculous, isn't it.: But not
uiure so than the merchant who hides
a stock of goods away in a storeroom
and then sits on the counter, hoping
the people will come and buy.

leach away.


The farmer who begins the new
year with the intention of reducing eX-
penses will find many opportunities
for so doing, and will also be sur
prised at the end Of the year at the
many avenues for allowing the loss.
one cause OF loss is the neglect OF the
farm wagons and implements. An ac-
count kept of the cost of repairs will
show that quite a large sum goes in
that direction, much Of which could be
saved. The use Of more oil on tools,
and keeping them sharp and in the
best condition for use, will save labor,
which is an item that must be paid
for Too many Improbable animals,
however, cause more loss than any
thing else, and the farmer should be-
gin the new year with sufficient cour-
age to thin out the tlocks and herds
so as to retain only the best and most
profitable.

Packing Pork. .

Clean the barrel thoroughly until all
bad odors are removed. Then cover
the bottom with three inches Of salt
and pack in layer. of pork, closely fill
ing the space and covering the whole
layer with salt three inches deep.
Pound it down solid with an AK and
start another layer, keeping on in the
same way until the pork is all packed.
Cover the whole with one-half bushel
Of salt and let 1t stand few days,
after which clean cold water should be
added. A float with fiat stone on top
will keep the meat from rising above
the surface. This plan requires more
salt than commonly used but is very
sure for keeping meat.

CHAPTER NXIV.

"She is always out in the park. 1t

The speaker was Mrs. Succurlen; she
stood at the hall door shading her eyes
from the bright winter sunshine, and
looking out over the snow-covered slopes
that reached away, one below the other,
till they sank into the dazzling whiteness
of the plains below. She had not look
ed long before she espied between the
black trunks of the beech groves some
quarter of a mile away n small, dark
robed figure that wandered slowly and
| aimlessly over the crisp, snow-covered
grass.
"There she is" muttered the house
keeper, with pucker of annoyance on

creature, saunterng along as If it was

Kitten did what she was told. She
went into the octagon room. 1t was the
room where Edgar Raikes used to sit
the room which Brian had once used ms
his own, and where the photograph of
Miss Gray stood in its frame with the
closed brass doors, upon the mantelshelf
1t was a place that had a strange fasci-
nation for Kitten. She would stand
whole miputes at time motionless at
the window that looked out over the
now barren trees towards the grey
church tower in the hollow.
Kitten never went into the octagon
room without dreaming by the window

ProtectIng the Manure.

The annual question concerning the
disposition of the stable-made manure
comes up as the pile begins to assume
formidable proportions. By far the
best way of taking care of it Is to
spread it on the fields where it will
20 down into the soil and be in readi-
ness for the crop which is to be sown
in the spring. If it is to be stored, the
ideal place is the pit with cement bot
tom, which will hold the liquid excre-
ment. If this cannot be done, then
store it under shed, placing it in
layers and let the hogs root it over.
If even this is not feasible, then put it
in piles not very high and cover with
any old, rough boards-almost any
thing that will keep out the rain,
which causes the liquid PORTIONS to
leach away.
An excellent plan Is to choose Il
place where the soil is of a clay ma
ture, and dig a trench all around the
space where the pile is to be, and in
this way save some of the liquid,
which may be scooped up and poured
back on the pile. Use the pile us Il
receiver for the slop from the house,
and see that it is forked over several
times during the winter. The main
thing, however, is to see that it is pro-
tected from the elements as much as
possible.

the storage of grain. A sloping roof
is built over the entire structure, and
the building covered with waterproof
paper, thus cutting out any possibility
of trouble in the way of leakage or
drafts which might result from the
joining. Two windows are made in
the lower front of the house facing
the south, and directly under each
window a busting box is made,y which
will afford the fowls much pleasure,
as they enjoy the sunshine. ROosts
are placed at one end and in the mid
die, and nest boxes on the side oppo-
site the windows.

Arranging the window Garden.

How often do we notice a shelf
filled with small plants in the window
garden, many varieties grouped pro-
miscuously until the characteristics of
each are entirely destroyed. Arrange
each class of plants in separate
clump, and you will be surprised to
note the difference in their appear
ance. Take such plants as primroses,
cyclamen, violets and ferns and ar
range them alternately on the plant
shelf. Now group all the ferns in the
center of the shelf, the tall sword fern
in the middle, with the broad-leaved
sorts next, and the beautiful maiden
hair fern and other dainty varieties
dropping from the edge Of the shelf.
On one end OF the shelf, at little
distance from the ferns, group the diff
ferent varieties OF prlmroses in such
manner that contrasts in foliage and
blossoms will be readily noted. On
the other hand, arrange the cyclamen
blossoms, nodding dantily above the
dark foliage and the great difference
between the careless and artistic ar
rangements will be at once apparent.

Could she ever forget It? Although
the anguish of it was past, the bare
recollection of that day in London was
sufficient to make her shudder.
Yes, yes, go on" she said, hastily.
Il don't know who it was. Either an
interfering young fool, called Sir Roy
Grantley, who imagined himself to be in

"Oh, she was always jealous about

loved"
And it is II who have worked

"Oh, what can | do? What can | doY'
"DO not distress yourself, Rosamond.
Kitten was not like you; she is a mere
child, creature with no depth or power
OF feeling; she has the inconsequence of
immaturity, not the heart of woman.
l do not think she has the power to feel
much; she is but a baby"
"Ah, do not think it, cried Rosamond
eagerly. do not fiatter yourself with
such a delusion, Brian. Would child
and baby-a mere shallow. heartless
creature as you call her-have left her
home, her comforts-you-if she had
not suffered acutely:'
"Ah, you do not know her, her little
baby ways, her keen pleasure in trifes
her rapid changes of manner and of
feeling"
what has that to do with it?' cried
Rosamond, with an impatient wave of
her hand. mo, l do not know her, but
! think | know her better than you do

The real benefit derived from keep
ing stock may always be traced to
the management. Good blood is es-
sential, but no animal can thrive that
is compelled to depend upon itself.
Pure bred stock demands the best
care. but the same may also be said
Of common stock. The food is the
important factor in the production of
meat or milk, but some animals can
make better use Of food than others.
The farmers attention, however, Is
necessary for all kinds of live stock.
II the animals are to give a profit.

Valley ErOsts.

Three causes operate to produce val
ley frosts, which are; First, the air,
made cold on clear nights, becomes
heavier, rolls down the hillsides and
settles at the bottom. Second, the
winds do not reach the valleys, which
allows unobstructed radiation of heat.
Third, the richer soil of the valleys
induces later and more sncculent
growth, thereby promoting more rapid
evaporation,
