Something to Think About.

Some of the processes of nature are al
hard to understand as the operation of the
mind Why is it that the movement of
the sap in a plant proceeds with regularity
SO absolute that in the leaf of variegated
geranium, for instance, it drops little
coloring matter of one shade at one point
and little of another shade at another
point, with never a mistake And how
does the wheat that is grown in northern
attitudes know that it must produce many
seedssto each plant SO that some Of them
may survive the rigor Of the winter? On
the other hand, why do the plants Of tho
tropics expend all their forces in leaf and
gorgeous flower and yield only few seeds
if they don't know that in the climate,
where they grow every seed stands good
chance Of surviving.
The more we study nature the moro
wonders We discover.

the stitches through her tears.
They were almost through supper when
Grandmother Elliot, Mistress Hapgood' s
mother, came in. She lived just across
the yard. She spoke to them all; then
she looked sharply at Priscilla.
"What has the child done?' asked
she.
Mistress Hapgood related the story
briefly. Grandmother Elliott looked sur
prised.
"Priseilla did not leave the door open. :"
she said. 81 came over this afternoon

open on purpose; it was smoky in there,

field"
Everybody looked at Priscilla. Then
her father spoke up, and he could not
have spoken more sternly to the soldiers
whom he commanded.
What does this mean, Priscilla?" said
he.
Priscilla bent her face quite down to
the blue yarn stocking and wept.
''Did you know that you did not leave
the pantry door open?" he continued.
eyes, sir, gasped Priscilla.
After the company had gone her father
proceeded to deal with her after the code
of his day, and in accordance with his own
convictions. He took down the birch rod,
with which all the children were acquainted,
and he babe Priscilla stand before him.
81 want you to remember, daughter
said Captain Hapgood, "that falsehood
is falsshood, for whatever cause it may
be told"
Then he brought down the birch rod
several times over Priscilla sslender should
ers.
Priscilla covered her face with her apron
and cried softly. Captain Hapgood, after
he had put away the birch rod, went up to
her and drew the apron gently away. He
was not man given to endearments, but
he kissed her solemnly on her fair childish
forehead.
''The rod was for the falsehood, daugh-
ter said Captain Hapgood; and this is for
the kindness and self-sacri6ce toward thy
brothers and sisters"
Mistress Hapgood was bustling around
the hearth. Presently she called Priscilla.
"Draw up to the table and have your
supper, child" said She
Mistress Hapgood had baked fresh
sheet of johnny cake that was thinner and
browner than the others had been; she had
skinned more cream and dealt out lib
eral dish of sauce. Priscilla sat up and
partook The taste of the food was very
pleasant; her shoulders still tingled from
the birch rod, and the distinction between
the right and wrong of doubtful action
was quite plain to her mind.

The Imprudence Of Percy Preston

The Imprudence Of Percy Preston.
"That was near thing. 1 only just
escaped p Percy Preston exclaimed, as
he and his partner swerved quickly to the
right just in time to avoid collision.
1t was the last Sunday at Princes, and
the skating rink was crowded with eager
skaters, who flew along the ice to the en-
livening strains of the Blue Hungarian
band.
"Who's that girl p asked man who
was watching this particular couple with
keen interest. "Nobody seems to know
much about her. -
"Cbetwynd Hartop brought her, Think;
he's not generally over particular, but she
must be somebody, or Preston wouldn' t

''I get so beastly bored with them all, .
he continued; "you seem different some

many people outside your own set p she
asked.
''No, one never knows what dreadful

one isn't particular. Shall we reverse 2?
ssI think it better to take people for
what they are and not who they are. she
exclaimed, and he did not see the sneer on
her face. He was too busy steering them
safely along.
"That's all very well in theory, but it
doesn't work." he answered. ''Society
won't stand that sort of thing. A fellow
must think of appearances.

"Where shall it be then p he inquired
again, as they stopped skating
81 really must go now,' she cried.
"Well, if you insist, Gayford's at twelve.
Good by"
1t was some minutes past twelve the
next morning when Percy Preston and his
sister entered Gayford's, Bond street; he
looked eagerly round. Hats of every de-
scription greeted him on all sides, but he
saw no signs of the particular person for
whom he was seeking. She had distinctly
said IL o clock, and it was now only few
minutes past.
He watched the door eagerly each time
it was opened to admit some new customer,
but still she did not appear. Would she
break her promise? At last, in despair,
he turned impatiently to his sister, who
was busy trying on large black hat.

He started violently. He would know
that voice anywhere. But surely-no, it
was impossible. He turned in amazement
and took look at the tall, black -robed
figure, who was now trying on the hat her
self in order to show it off to its best ad-
vantage. For one instant they gazed at
each other, he with horror, she with calm
amusement. Then, without moments
hesitation he looked quickly away again,
and made bolt for the door.
"Good heavens p he muttered. "What
an escape Thank goodness no one saw.
I could never have looked Society in the
face again. To think that she was a-By
Jove I've never been so taken in be-

''Thank goodness" she was thinking,
though she felt strange choking in her
throat, Zone doesn't meet friends like that
every day." But aloud she said
''To what address shall I send it,
madam? The gentleman seems to have
gone.'
This, by the way, was the first mistake
of the kind he had ever made in his life.

Getting Profit Out of Swine.

Try to have sows farrow in March and
April They will then farrow again in
September and October. The sows should
be rather rangy, should have goodshoulders
and hams and well-shaped heads. The boar
should have shorter body, be of more
compact build than the SOW and the same
general make up as to shoulder, hams and
head. Look out for good dispositions. 1t
can be seen in them before they are old
enough to breed. I can go among nearly
all my sows and pick up pigs without max
ing any trouble.
If you have one that shows signs of be-
ing cross sell it to the butcher Treat your
hogs carefully; they will not stand being
abused had large boar I showed at
a fair few years ago which weighed 750
pounds. kept six or eight collie puppies
in with him. He was quiet and attentive
and was very careful of them. He did
not know what it was to be abused
Spring pigs should be fed for time,
when young, little swill, and the more
skim milk in it the better. IF you have not
any skim milk, make mixture of calf
meal, hominy, mixed feed and little salt
and boiling water. Make thin porridge
and allow it to nearly cool before feeding
it. Give them little soaked corn. This
is for young pigs in spring or early summer,
when out of pasture they cannot go and
are not old enough to forage as older pigs
or shotes.
If the grass has not started in pasture
or there is not sufficient grass, feed them
green rye; this is one of the finest of the
folders for spring, and if the land is well
fertilized and sowed in August or Septem-
ber, will be ready to cut the first week in
May. They will eat it until it becomes
coarse and tough. Sow rape as soon as
you can work the ground and have the
land highly manured.
IF the ground is weedy, SOW rape in
drills so it can be cultivated; if not, SOW
broadcast. 1t will be ready to cut in six
weeks on we'll manured warm land in a
high state of cultivation. The land may
be worked over by hog power for next
springs rape by taking the rings out of
old breeding stock or shotes that have been
out to pasture through the summer. They
will work up land and get it in better shape
for spring crops than can be done with
plow 1 would like readers of New Eng
land Homestead to see two acres that was
worked up for me by hogs last fall. Plant
sweet corn in hills Use for early sweet,
Black Mexican, and for late, StowelPs
Evergreen This will give you corn early
and late. Feed clover and clover rowen
Give the pigs plenty of fresh water. This
way of feeding is for pigs confined in poor
pasture or field without grass. The best
way is to raise your fodder and turn the
pigs into it.
I would advise farmers to try few hogs
in the spring on good pasture. Sow some
rape, give them sweet corn (corn fodder)
and finish them up with little corn and
meal, and see if they have not made you
more money than anything on the farm.
By all means, get thrifty growing hog.
