the past few years. In nearly every
farmers yard there are to be seen
from 100 to 200 fowls, and very
often they have no proper shelter
and the droppings are lost. Often
no thought is given to gathering the
manure for fertilizing purposes, and
in the spring the owner will pay from
$50 to SIS per ton for guano, while
the poultry manure that goes to
waste on his own farm is almost
equally rich in plant food and even
better than some brands of so-called
pure guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
also largely dependent on the kind
of food which the fowls consumed
while making the deposit AS a rule,
the poultry are given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat,
rye, corn, also scraps from the table
add to their rations, hence their drop
pings must possess considerable fer
tilizing value.
The poultry should be kept to-
gether as much as possible. The
floor should be kept dry and covered
weekly with ashes. Regularly every
week it should be removed and stored
in dry place, shoveled over and
enough absorbent added to keep, ir
from heating. 1t is astonishing now
much accumulstes. If it is to be
drilled, the manure should be sifted,
otherwise it may be applied directly
from the wagon. If farmers who
keep poultry and let the manure go
to waste would try this plan they
would save enough the first year in
fertilizer bills to build poultry
house and fence yard for their
private fertilizer factory.

Importance of Pedigree.

The Importance of pedigree is
highly appreciated by breeders. A
sire of relatively low personal stand
ard, bus of good ancestry, is more to
be desired than one of inferior pedi-
gree, though of individual excellence.
1t requires, however, a wide ac-
quaintance with the breed to read
the pedigree intelligently and know
from it what may be expected in the
offspring.

Utilizing All Food.

All animals on the farm prefer
foods that may not be relished by
some others. The farmer should
take advantage of this fact and util-
ize all the materials that might be
wasted il there were some animals
that would accept them. A judicious
use of the feed cutter, mixing little
bran or meal with the food, and
tempting the animal with variety,
will render serviceable even such
foods as wheat straw and corn fod-
der. There are several modes of
serving corn fodder that will make it
acceptable to dainty animals.

contract price is surprisingly low, it
being only 100000 marks, or, in round
figures, 100000. This very moder-
ate cost is explained by the low cost

CHAPTER XVI.
Rokhara.

| With the advent of October came a
succession of fogs. The atmosphere
of London was such as only London
ers can breathe-yellow, noisome and
choking. The Wrights had talked OF
| leaving town, and mad even discussed
the question of going abroad, but
they were still in Seymour street.
| The colonel was busy, and seemed
singularly averse to leaving town; he
was now getting seriously anxious
about VINEYARD Mistley.
Instead of getting better, things
grew worse. Vague reports, originat-
| ing sometimes in Berlin, sometimes
in st. Petersburg, appeared from time
to time in the newspapers. These
rumors spoke of trouble on the
Afghan and Persian frontiers, of tri-
bal disturbances and religious diff
ferences, of boundaries overstepped
and agreements broken. Added to
all this, Colonel Wright received a
blow from a nearer source, which ag-
gravated matters greatly, and rem
dered VINEYARD Mistley's silence al
most unbearable.
One morning, late in October, he
was sitting at his study table. Before
him lay the large sheet map which
Charles Mistley had brought more
than year ago. A fresh route had
been worked out across it with dotted
lines of red, commencing at Kizil Ar
vat on the day mentioned by the trav-
eler, Henry Akryl. The colonel had
just completed the dotted line as far
as Bokhara, and was looking, in an
absentedly methodical manner, at a
calendar. The date written above
the word Bokhara was terribly far
back into the spring, more than six
months ago.
The study door opened softly, and
although the old soldier heard it,
he did not move or turn. Two warm
hands were laid upon his shoulders
with that marvellous touch of a
woman's loving fingers. They were
peculiarly steady hands, as white as
Lena's. but firmer and somewhat
| heavier.
"Willy!"
Eyes, old woman"
"Willy," repeated Mrs Wright,
looking out of the window into the
hopeless dreariness of the October
morning, ''have you noticed any diff
ference-any change in Lena?"
The colonel raised his eyes from
the map and contemplated the Chin
neys of the opposite house for some
moments in silence. "A change-old
woman?" he said, slowly. Perhaps
there is change-she is no longer a
child now"
''No, it is not that. There is some
thing else. She never allows it to
appear; but-she is miserable. She
is wearing herself to death. We
must go away from London"
1t must be confessed that Colonel
Wright had not given very much
thought to the subject of his daugh-
ter's happiness. nor was he clever at
divining motive.

Stokes For Paterson Dam.

Governor Stokes spoke to an au-
dience of 1000 persons at Paterson
relative to the proposal to construct
a great dam in the hills and impound
for municipal potable use the millions
of gallons of water which now flow
to waste. He showed how this could
be done at small cost, as compared
with the benefits to be gathered in
the future. This plan is now under
serious consideration and is meeting
with great popularity in the upper
part of the State. Not only would it
supply plenty of good water, but it
would stop effectually the floods that
many times have done great damage
at Paterson and in the other cities
and towns in the Passaic River Val
ley.
