Hauling Manure to Field.

While 1t is admittedly the better plan
to get the manure to the fields as soon
after 1t Is made as possible, the plan
has its greatest value when the manure
is spread as soon as placed on the soil
that is, do not put it in heaps to
spread at some later period, but, If pos
sible, load it from the stable directly
into spreader, so that as soon as it
reaches the field it can be put on the
soil, where 1t will leach in during the
winter. The idea Of carting the manure
direct to the field is to have 1t I'm
proving the soil instead Of letting a
portion Of its virtue go into the air. as
is the case when it lays in the barnyard
all winter.

HER SACRIFICE,
Miss ArabeIIa Felt that She Must
Board Her Cat Out.

Miss ArabeIIa Felt that She Must
Board Her Cat Out.
Miss Arabella had lived alone many
years in the little cottage at the upper
end Of the hill street. One day a kit
ten was given to her by the niece of
the man who placed on her finger the
simple ring, now worn very thin, when
he enlisted In the Union army. Even
that was long ago, and the now half
blind and toothless animal, which had
lost every attraction of his prime, was
the one link with tender past.
When old jeremiah Miles, Miss Ara
bellas step-brother, came back from the
West, penniless and dlspirited, to make
his home with her, poor Nose was a
source of constant discomfort in the
tiny cottage. He was continually lying
in the chair in which Jeremiah wanted
to sit, or upsetting his tobacco, or get
ting under his feet.
TO be sure, the cottage was Miss Ara
bella's own, and Jeremiah had never
done anything for her but waste all Of
her slim patrlmOny that he could
wheedle her into giving him; but she
could not get 1t out of her mind that
he had said one day that he believed he
could stop swearing If 1t was not for
that "plaguy cat"
Jeremiah's language caused Miss Ara
bella great solicitude. Although she
loved nothing in all the world as she
loved that bundle Of gray fur, after all
cat was only cat, and If it would
help Jeremiah
For days poor Miss Arabela waged
war with herself, and at last, one even
ing, she and Nose presented themselves
at the parsonage door.
Old Doctor Glider listened silently to
her story. He knew Miss Arabella, and
he also knew the story of her simple
life. Was it with age or the tenderness
Of full understanding that his hand
trembled as he stroked the creatures
sleek gray coat?
ITO be sure you may leave him here
for the rest of his days, Arabella, and
Dinah will give him the best of care.
Tut tut! Board, indeed Do you want
to cut me off from all share in this, my
dear? And what does a cat eat, after

"If ever there was a sacrifice accept
able to the Lord" said the good man af-
terward, surely it must have been this
of Arabella Tate's, and if had let her
she would have given me something
from the pittance that stands between
her and starvation for keeping the crea-
ture. l declare, l sometimes think we
men would forget the meaning of the
truest heroism If it wasn't for the WON.

Feeding Rye to Hogs.

There are several different methods
of feeding rye to hogs One method is
to cook the grain whole. Another is

And grandmamma said with a frown-
1T will never do to keep them both,
The black one we'd better drown"
Don't cry, my DEAR to tiny Bess,
Zone kittens enough to keep;
Now run to nurse, for it's growing late,
And time you were fast asleep
The morrow dawned, and rosy and sweet
Came little Bess from her nap;
The nurse said, GO into mammals room
And look in grandma's lap"
"Cone here" said grandma, with smile,
From the rockingchair where she sat;
God has sent you two little sisters,
Now, what do you think of that?"
Bess looked at the Babies a moment,
With their wee heads, yellow and
brown,
And then to grandmamma soberly said,
Which one are you going to drown?"

A FORGIVENESS ACCOUNT.

John and his sister Gladys were out at
the front of the house Gladys was max
ing a bead necklace for her doll The
beads were on little work table beside
her. John was playing at trains. His
train was an old box-cart, his new wagon
was coach for the passengers, and
Gladys doll-carriage for the "first-class"
passengers. He was the engine and he
was steaming and whistling with all his
strength.
Don't come here, john" said Gladys,
as he came near the table,
puff, puff" went this snorting human
engine.
''Take care" cried Gladys again as he
came nearer to the table, you'll spill
my beads" Away John went, and soon
forgot his sisters warning. The train
came round the corner and before he
knew, the table was upset. and the beads
scattered in all directions.
ooh, john" cried Gladys, with angry
face, what did 1 tell your"
I'm awfully sorry" said John, as he
helped to pick up the beads. John was
always sorry, but it did not make him
careful. Gladys did not answer for mo-
ment, but then she said, Never mind
John, I'll forgive you She had remem-
bered the lesson she heard on the previous
Sunday about Jesus telling Peter how he
had to forgive his brother seventy times
seven. Gladys was a passionate child,
but had resolved to obey Jesus. She had
been saying to herself-although John
did not KNOW will forgive him -four
hundred and ninety times but after that
-" She shut her lips tight "Ill keep
a forgiveness account" she thought, 80
as to know when it's seventy times
seven" Before she went to bed she
wrote at the top of clean page in her
last years copy-book

And under this:
"MOnday-For spilling my beads"

PRISCILLA'S DILEMMA.
By Marie Deacon Hanson.


"Prisca, hurry and dress, and come for
a drive"
''You come indoors for o few minutes
Nathalie" Priscilla answered, smiling
from the open window at her cousin,
seated in her dog-cart. AS the visitor
joined her. Priscilla ADDED: "Huldah is
visiting Susie Price in Watertown, and
mamma says 1 may give luncheon for
the girls next week"
How delightful!" Nathalie exclaimed,
following her cousin into the library
Apartment dining-rooms are not built
to accommodate large parties, and l can
only entertain about eight of the girls,

Eight is a comfortable number" Natha-
lie suggested. Hurry and dress, dear

fessed. "Do you wonder that mamma

ham? 1t is the sin that doth so easily
beset' me-" Priscilla opened desk and
added: '.You write so beautifully, Tha-
lie; DO write the invitations for me while
1 go dress?"
Nathalie good-naturedly consented
Priscilla handed her a sheet OF paper on
which she had scrubbed the names and
addresses OF the girls to be invited, to-
gcther with rough sketch Of the invi-
tation, and disappeared.
Priscilla was a small creature, spite of
her sixteen and one-half years, and when
she presently appeared, she seemed a
veritable fairy in the fullest of soft.
white dresses. Her big blues eyes looked
out smilingly from beneath the broad
brimmed hat of white embroidery and
delicate pink roses that crowned her head
of gold. Nathalie sealed the last invita-
ton and arose.

making a deep courtesy. with your
majesty's permission, we will mail the in

rate the place-cards for her guests, as
she had intended. However, she COM
forted herself thinking she would have
plenty of time on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, the luncheon being ON Thursday.
Nine o'clock Tuesday morning found
Priscilla still in bed, sleepyhead that she
was! Not even the bird singing joyously
on her window-sill had power to lure
her from her soft nest, and there she lay,
half awake, half asleep, when her mother
entered, holding an open letter in her
hand.

wish you would, Prisca, Mrs.
Popham replied, with evident relief.
I'll lunch with Aunt Katie down town,
so don't wait for me-"
Priscilla ran out in her little, bare feet,
and bade Hannah go at once to the doc

leisurely semi toilet, and sat down to her
breakfast and the newspaper 1t was
after eleven o'clock when Priscilla finally
arose and began to gather the dishes to-
gether And, at this moment, the front
door bell rang.
cit can't be a caller so early" Priscilla
said, looking in dismay at the long, faded
blue kimono she had donned as good
enough in which to wash dishes and dust.
1T must be peddler" A second peal
sounded as she deliberated. The next
moment, Priscilla opened the door, then
stepped back, gaspng. Three radiant
| visions in white confronted her.
1--WE came unfashionably early Prisca,
| because Huldah was so anxious to see
you," Nathalie said smilingly. "Susie
and she called for me on their way from
the train"
''You dear!" Huldah cried, taking the
shrinking Priscilla into her arms and
smothering her with kisses. Never
mind if you aren't ready. We can talk
while you are dressing"
But the luncheon isn't to-day; it's
Thursday" Priscilla said miserably.
I'm sure the invitation read Tuesday, .
Susie replied.
Priscilla ushered her guests into the
library, fortunately tidy, and broke into
cold perspiratiOn at thought of the
other guests soon to arrive and the con-
ditiOn of the other rooms

for a coveted slip of paper. If only it
