addition to the truck department.,
which brought such satisfactory
results the past spring. From A.
P. Wright, who is managing Mr..
Chenoweth's place, The HERALD
learns that the fig industry is en-
eaging that gentleman 5 attention
just at present, and he is now
making preparations to plant co.
900 magnolia fig trees in the fall.
This, in addition to 1000 of the
same variety which were planted
last March, will cover an area OF
100 acres, and will entitle Santa
Maria to have a preserving plant
established there, under the offer
of the Carpenter company OF Hous-
ton. In fact, Mr.. Chenoweth IS now
in Houston for the purpose OF
making arrangements with the
company to that end.
Mr.. Wright is especially proud
of those 1000 magnolia fig trees
which were planted last March.
Not more than foot high at plant
ing, they are now, not over three
months later, four to five feet high,
all thrifty and fine, and many Of
them are actually bearing fruit al
ready! 1t is expected that this fig
grove will be producing a crop
within two years which will fully
warrant the establishment of pre-
serving plant.
The pecan grove at the Cheno-
weth place is also doing finely,
Mr.. Wright says. There are 40
acres planted in improved paper
shell pecans. which, however, will
require some years before results
can be expected.
The truck fields at Santa Maria
are given up to cow peas and other
summer forage crops for the pres.
ent, but truck planting will be re.
sumed in the fall, when a large
acreage will be planted with cab
bage, caulidower, onions. etc.

The eminent jurist and the dis
tinguished ecclesiast were waxing
reminiscent over their after dinner
cigars of the days when they were
members of the same university
faculty.
Presently the conversation turn

The highest honors. they decided.
had fallen respectively to a bishop
and a judge, and now they were
disputing, friendliwise, as to which
of these two had the higher claim
to distinction.
My dear fellow, said the eccle-
siast, patronizingly, you must ac-
knowledge the claim of the bishop
for you know he has the power
to say to a man, You be damned,
whereas the judges prerogative is
merely You be hanged
The jurist pulled at his cigar
meditatively, and then rejoined
drily:
Quite right. old man, but may
1 suggest that when a judge says
to a man You be hangedl'-he i:

Probably no other crop, without
single exception, presents so many
characteristics of value. AS 1t is stud
led more and more, and as new expert
ments are made with it in different
capacities, its wonderful capacities be-
come more and more manifest. A very
eminent authority has discovered that
1t is a weed eradlcator of unfailing
power. This will seem like contradic-
tion to readers who have been eau
toned about weeds, and which will
prove more destructive to alfalfa than
any combatable influence. Neverthe-
less 1t is strictly true that the plant Is
the greatest destroyer of weeds known.
This comes not so much from any quail
ity contained in the alfalfa plant, but
from the inability Of the weeds to en-
dure having their heads cut off so
many times in summer close to their
feet. The most strenuous weed soon
will succumb to this harsh treatment,
while the alfalfa plant will thrive all
the better the more it is cut. If weeds
can be kept back from choking the
young alfalfa plants until they, the al
falfa plants, are tall enough to be
moved, the question of weeds in the
particular parcel of ground is settled.
Therefore, it Is wise to select weedy
piece of ground for the alfalfa field,
but before sowing the seed every pre-
caution should be taken to kill as many
weeds as possible. This can best be
done by simply following the oft-re-
peated injunction to thoroughly pre-
pare the seed bed before sowing the
seed If this be done, and the tract
narrowed and rolled after plowing at
time when the tiny weeds begin to
show green over the field, and again
just before time to SOW, there will be
the cleanest field on the farm before
the year is out. There are many weed
infected farms and many farmers who
have despaired of ever getting rid Of
the weeds. Alfalfa suggests the means

tural Epitomlst.

MILK Fat.

OF 319 samples Of whole milk analyz-
ed by a Canadian station, forty-five
were pronounced adulterated and
eighty-five doubtful. This was more
unfavorable than the results obtained
in previous years. Twenty-nine sam
pies Of cream examined showed per-
centages Of fat ranging from 1853 to
33.51. The author believes that the
following standard should be estab-
lished in Canada: Whipping cream
not less than % per cent fat, and table
cream not less than 17.5 per cent.

Farm Notes.

Farm Notes.
There is no sensible reason why half
as much wheat again may not be had
from an acre within less than a gener-
alton Of time.
One-fourth Of the dairy cows of the
country do not pay for their feed, and
more than half Of them do not return
any profit.
The Agricultural Departments an
nual report says the corn crop can be
increased by one-half within quarter
Of a century, and without any pretense
that the limit has been reached.
Equally feasible is 80 per cent in
crease in the crops per acre Of oats,
barley, rye, buckwheat. Potatoes, in
stead of growing less than 100 bushels
per acre, should double their produc-
tion.

The Minister'S Wife
By MRS. HENRY WOOD

What with the days racing and the din
ner after it, l am tired to death; fit for
nothing. I'll be in Berkeley Square the
first thing in the morning, and I'll get
Baumgarten out of the mess if can, for
l like him. Goodnight"
Lady Grace returned home. She was
entering the drawing room when the but
Ter, Moore, came suddenly out of it to
meet her, and closed the door in her face.
His usually forid complexion had turned
yellow, and he spoke in furry. "Oh,
my lady-not in there, please. The dean
is taken i'll, that's the truth. l thought
your ladyship had best not see him."
She waved him aside in her willful
manner. But at that moment Cyras came
out. He had just got back from Oxford,
and it was his arrival which had brought
about the. discovery that something was
amiss with the dean.
II am going for a doctor, mamma" "
said Cyras, and leaped away. Lady Grace
went in, and Moore followed her.
Leaning back in a low easy chair, al
most at full length, his head resting on
the back of it, lay the dean. His face
was white, his mouth was open, but his
eyes were closed as if in a calm sleep.
Nevertheless, there was that in his face
which struck terror to the heart of his
wife. She touched the faithful old SER
want on the arm and cried aloud.
'Yes, my lady," he whispered, believ-
ing that she saw as well as he, / fear ii
is DEATH"
Lady Grace knelt down, and clasped
her hands round her husband. In that
moment of distress, what cared she who
was present? She called him by endear-
ing names, she kissed his face, she be-
sought him to speak to her. But there
was no answering response, and convic-
tion told her that there never would be
again.
Never in this world. Cyras came back
with a doctor; curiously enough, it was
Sir William Chant. A small mercy this
for Sir William was able to testify to the
cause of death, thereby avoiding an in
quest.
The dean had died from disease of the
heart, brought on by the evenings excite.
ment. And the world, next day, was
busy with the news that the Very Rev.
Ryle Baumgarten had been gathered to
his fathers, and that the rich deanery OF
Denham, richer in those days than in
these, was in the clerical market.

In its employ large staff of men who

The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. The cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax of $780,
100000 on the cotton crop, is now con-
trolled by sprays; it has been proven
that the ravages of the Russian fly
which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
In Indiana 90 per cent besides greatly
impairing the yield of the remaining
acreage, can be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the

CHAPTER XIV.

1t was not an ordinary match; It was
something quite out of the common way
but Mary Dynevor was a girl out of the
common way also. Not, however, as re-
garded beauty; in that respect she could
not compete with her sister, Grace. or
with her brilliant friend, Gertrude Baum
garten. She was a ladylike girl, with a
pale, serene face, very much like that of
her sister, Cyrilla, whose love had been
blighted; her hair was of a rich brown,
her eyes were violet blue she was quiet
in manner and calm in speech. That was
the best that could be said of her, and
yet it was certain that some unusual
charm did attach itself to Mary Dynevor.
In the past year, when abroad with
Lady Grace Baumgarten, Mary had made
the acquaintance of Everard Wilmot, an
attache to one of the Continental en-
bassies, and the son of Sir John Wilmot.
Exceedingly to her own surprise, he had
asked her to become his wife. On the
impulse of the moment she went, letter in
hand-for he had made the offer in writ
ing-to Lady Grace.
What am to do?" she asked.
"One word, Mary. Do you dislike Mr..
Wilmot?"
Il like him very much, and 1 esteem
him greatly"
And yet you come to me and demure-
ly say, What am l to do? Go away
with you, you shy, foolish girl"
So Mary accepted Mr.. Wilmot Never
theless, she felt half conscious that if she
had had the courage to search out the
hidden secrets of her heart it might have
told her that her love was given to
Charles Baumgarten.
Some few years had elapsed since the
sudden death of the Dean of Denham.
1t was a terrible shock, that, to his wife
and children. His affairs were arranged
by the help of Lord Avon, Cyras and
Charles both doing also something toward
it. A small sum of money, left to the
boys by relative, but of which the dean
had enjoyed a life interest, they had at
once sacrificed. Cyras had returned to
New Zealand. He was still in the same
shipping house there, Brice & Jansen's,
and held good position in it now. He
had not visited England a second time.
DuI Wrote occdSlOndlly. sometimes his
letters would contain pretty-looking lit
tie check for Charles or for Gertrude.
Charles had done well at Oxford: had
taken honors and gained his fellowship.
He was called to the bar, and lived at
his chambers in Plump Court for econ
omy's sake; now and then staying for a
few days with his mother in Berkeley
Square, Lady Grace's residence.
1t was February by the calendar. Judg-
ing by the wind one might have called it
March, for dust whirled in the streets and
windows ratified. But Miss Dynevor's
drawing room in Eaton Place was cheer
full with its fire and wax lights. DIR.
Dynevor was rather in the habit of call
ing it my town house" when speaking of
1t, but 1t was his sisters and not his
His name was really Maude-D Dynevor
though he was rarely called by it. Some
people dropped the one name and some
dropped the other. His wife's family
name was Maude, and when he married
her he had had to take 1t in addition to
his own.

Dissolved Bone Black.

When bone black Is treated with sui.
phuric acid the insoluble phosphate
which 1t contains Is converted into SOL
uble phosphate, says Virginia bulle-
tin. Dissolved bone black contains
from Is to 25 per cent Of available
phosphoric acid. In this form it Is one
of the most valuable phosphate fertil-
lzers. The question is often asked, Is
available phosphate from dissolved
bone better than that from dissolved
rock? 1t would be well, therefore, to
state in this connection that available
phosphorlc acid has the same value re-
gardless of Its source.

Testing Individual Cows.

A circular by the Illinois Station en-
phasizing the Importance Of studying
the production Of individual cows con-
tains records for one year of eighteen
dairy herds In Illinois, including 221
cows. The average production was o.
616.99 pounds Of milk and 226.63
pounds of butter fat The best herd
averaged 350.17 pounds of butter fat
and the poorest 142.05 pounds. The
best ten cows averaged 3SS.75 pounds
of butter fat and the poorest 0109.42
pounds. 1t is believed that at least
one-thlrd of the cows in the ordinary
herds are practically Improbable. A
marked Improvement was observed In
herds where grading had been prac-
tlced. 1t was found possible to remove
five cows from herd Of ten and there
by increase the profit $762 per head.
