CHAPTER XIII.

When arrived at the bank dispatch
ed brief answers to my budget of letters;
each of the answers was to the same
purport, namely, that l should be at the
barracks at the appointed time. l need
not trouble the reader with the various
wrappings in which this essential piece OF
intelligence was involved. l then had
desperate encounter with Jones; business
was slack, and Jones was fired with the
unholy desire of seizing the opportunity
thus offered to make an exhaustive in
curry into the state of our reserve. He
could not understand my sudden punctil-
iousness as to times and seasons. and l
was afraid l should have to tell him
plainly that only over my lifeless body
should he succeed in investigating the
contents of the safe. At last l effected
a diversion by persuading him to give
Mrs. Jones a jaunt into the country, and
thus left in peace, l spent my afternoon
in making final preparations. / burned
many letters; wrote a touching farewell
to my father, in which I took occasion
to point out to him how greatly his i'm
prudent conduct had contributed to in
crease the difficulties of his dutiful son.
l was only restrained from making a will
by the obvious imprudence of getting it
witnessed. l spent a feverish hour in
firing imaginary shots from my revolver,
to ascertain whether the instrument was
in working order. Finally l shut up the
bank at Eve, went to the Piazza, partook
Of a light repast, and never was l more
rejoiced than when the moment for &C
ton at last came. As was dressing, lin.
gerinR over each garment with a feeling
that might never put on, or, for that
matter, take 1t off again, l received
second note from the Colonel. 1t was
brought by a messenger, on a sweating
horse, who galloped up to my door.
knew the messenger we'll by sight; he was
the Colonels valet. Ny heart was in my
mouth as l took the envelope from his
hands. The fellow was evidently in our
secret, for he grinned nervously at me
as he handed it over, and said:
II was to ride fast, and destroy the
letter II anyone came near"
nodded, and opened it. 1t said:

lleved to have gone to his house. He sus-

Had Mr.. Carr a horse?" l asked Of
the man.
mo, sir; left on foot. Couldn't come
along the road to Nottingham, sir, it's
patrolled."
There was still chance. 1t was ten
miles across country from the Colonies
to Johnny's, and six miles on from John
ny's to Whittingham. The man OWNED
my thoughts.
HE can't go fast, sir, he's wounded in
the leg. If he goes home first, as he will,
because he doesn't know his horses are
gone, he can't get here before eleven at the
earliest"

Feeding he Dairy Cow.

What is the proper amount Of food
for a COW? Such an inquiry cannot be
satisfactorily answered, as each COW is
an individual, having peculiarities of
disposition. There are preferences
among animals for certain foods, as
they have their likes and dislikes A
COW may have an excellent appetite to-
day and refuse to eat but little of her
food tomorrow. OF the various foods,
however, a cow will eat from 40 to 60
pounds Of mature corn ensliage, with
from 8 to 10 pounds of grain with the
ehsilage, which may be given in place
of the bran. OF clover hay, a COW may
be allowed to eat as much as she
wishes. The ensilage may be reduced
and more grain given, ground, If pre-
ferred, but there is no rule to govern
the feeding of a SOW. Each COW must
be studied and her wants satisfied.
Those yielding milk should be fed more
literally than those that are dry, or
nearly so.

New Method of Grating.

Before a meeting of the American
Pathological Society the following meth
cd of grating was described by
gentleman from Colorado, who stated
that it was the most successful meth
cd that he had employed in top-work-
ing old orchards, and that it could be
used on branches as large as four
inches in diameter with great success.
1t impresses one as being possibly bet
ter than ordinary cleft grating for
large stocks, from the fact that the
surfaces of the union were all smooth
and the scions held more firmly. The
method of procedure is as follows: At
ter determining where the graft had
better go the stock Is cut off with
fine saw and the cut made in the side
of the stock, as shown at "a" This
is then cleaned out with a knife, as
shown at "B;" a saddler's knife is
used for this purpose, outline Of which
is shown at "E." The scion is cut as
is usual in cleft grating and is driven
with some little force into the groove
of the stock as shown at &c" and in

The achievements of the plant breed
ers in the development of pedigree
seeds are quite wonderful, considering
the difficulties of fixing permanently
characteristics resulting from hybridi-
cation. For instance, when species of
rye with different types of heads are
crossed it is found that the female
parent is neither alone nor most prom
inent when exerting its influence on
the product and its progeny. In about
one-half of the plants of the first gen.
GRAFTON of rye crosses the type of head
and form Of seed of the male parent
were prevalent, while in the other half
the same characteristics of the female
predominated. In the second genera
ton the individuals split up into groups
of either one type or the other. One
fourth Of the number of individuals
showed the spike characteristics of the
female parent, one-fourth those of the
male parent and one-half intermediate
forms-Agricultural Epitomist.
