The EARLY Pasturage.
When stock is given the use Of early
green rye the results are not always
satisfactory, and farmers find that the
cattle lose flesh and less milk IL given.
RYE Is one of the most useful plants
for providing early green food at q sea
son when grass does not appear, Dut
it's Injurious effects upon animals ID
not due to the rye being an unsuitaoie
food, but rather because OF allowing
the animals free access to it. In Its ear
~ stages Of growth (Which are realy
the times when it is most in demand)
it Is composed almost wholly OF water,
the proportion of solid matter being
very small. It contains several salts
In solution, and its effects upon the
bowels are laxative; hence it Is not
only weakening, but causes the animals
to lose flesh. There is right way to
use early rye, however, and that IL to
allow stock on the rye field but short
time each day at first, and then gradu-
ally extend the period Of grazing. When
cattle have been kept on dry food Tor
six months the green rye Is to them a
luxury, and If it Is allowed them judi
ciously it will improve their condition.
Both rye and crimson clover will be
ready for use in short time, and they
will always prove profitable crops to
those who keep stock, as they shorten
the dry-feeding period Of winter. When
the early green foods are given the
stock, and the bowels are affected, one
Of the Indications is that the green
food is serving as medicine, and should
too much green food have been con-
sumed, give warm mess OF corn meal,
seasoned highly with salt, and full
allowance Of hay. There is no danger
in green food, however, If the cows are
not allowed to consume too much, but,
as every farmer knows, there Is liabili-
ty Of "bloat" (hoven) by eating any
kind Of green food to excess.

Spraying for SAN Jose Scale.

Spraying for San Jose Scale.
As result Of experiments with lime
sulphur washes In the control of the
San Jose scale, the author of bulletin
by the Georgia Board Of Entomology,
recommends a boiled lime-sulphur
wash Salt does not appear to be nee
essary or desirable, but the lime used
should be a calcium lime rather than a
magnesia lime. Self-boiled lime-sul-
phur washes are often used with good
success, but are more expensive and
not quite 30 satisfactory as boiled
washes. For spraying on a large scale,
steam-boiling outfits are most satisfac-
tory. It is recommended that badly in
tested orchards be sprayed In the fall
and in the spring, but where two spray
ings are impossible the applications
should be made In the spring.

The grazing Of land by a mixed stock
Of cattle, sheep and horses result in
the land being more easily grazed than
when only one kind Is kept. Where,
however, many sheep are kept with
cattle, the sheep pick out the finest Of
the grass and clovers, and the cattle
do not thrive as well. But sheep, on
the other hand, eat with avidity and
impunity much that cattle dislike and
avoid. Many pastures, grazed only
with cattle, are often in the spring
time covered with weeds, which few
sheep mixed in with the-cattle would
keep down. Horses, when kept In a
pasture by themselves, are very uneven

pasture will Craze the rank places
where cattle have previously left their
manure, and also about places where
the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much bet
ter when they are able to select their
own foods.

CHAPTER XII.

The following morning, before Con-
stance Fraser had had time to compose
her thoughts, and begin to prepare her
child for what lay before her, Sheila
came into the room.
Audrey was lying very quiet In her
little bed, and the other girl noticed, with
anger in her heart, how exquisitely love
ly was that pale young face, pillowed
among the delicate lace-edged linen and
Swallowed by the pink-lined curtains. 1t
made her even savage, in her jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
II came to tell you," she said, very
abruptly, that 1 am going to London
for a few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that l can do
for your"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheila
went away in total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
It was no unusual thing for her to go
to London for few days, as she was a
shrewd business woman, and superintend-
ed nearly all the movements OF her af-
fairs. This time, however, there was
nothing that would demand her atten-
ton, except this former marriage OF her
fathers widow.
She determined during her absence
from Dinglewood to go herself to Broad
borough and make full inquiries about
Audrey.
II will not rest till I have full and
complete proof that she IL Frank Ans
truther's child. If only can be success
full and discover any flaw, think I
shall know how to make it disagreeable
for Mrs. Fraser and her charity girl"
Mr.. Chester was in possession Of every
fact relating to Audrey's birth, and in
a very short time placed these facts be-
fore her.
There is not a shadow Of doubt, Miss
Fraser" he said quietly, that this young
girl is Miss Anstruther. l have been
myself to Broadborough and made every
inquiry, and If these inquiries had failed,
the appearance Of the registration of
birth and the marriage certificate would
settle the question. I have been down
to the church where Miss Gascoigne mar
RED Captain Anstruther, and have pro-
cured another copy of the certificate.
Here it is.
(Which Is 80 much worthless paper,
considering that Captain Anstruther was
married at the time and had a wife liv-
ing" Sheila remarked CURLY.
Il am happy in being able to assure
you that this romance is not true, and
congratulate you that your stepmother
has at least one joy left her in life. Fate
has treated her harshly, poor lady"
She arose abruptly, and went away.
As she re-entered her hotel, she saw a
pile Of luggage being carried in, and in
her preternaturally sharp way she rec
ognized the livery of the footman, who
was experimenting the portmanteaus and
huge boxes, as that worn by the servants
of the Earl Of Daleswater. She whisper
ed to her maid, Beecham, to find out II
the family were about to stay at the hotel,
and passed upstairs with the first sensa-
ton Of pleasure she had experienced for
some time, which grew stronger as she
learned that the countess and her chill
dren were expected up the following day
from Daleswater House.

Ration for q Horse.

It Is claimed that per cent Of the
korse's weight of good, nourishing food
is all it should eat in day. By this
rule a horse weighing 1,5OO pounds
should receive 30 pounds Of food, but
it must be considered that something
depends upon the amount Of labor per-
formed, as well as the digestive ca
pacity and appetite Of the animal.
