The Melon Aphi..

The melon aphls (Aphis gossypiI) Is
generally distributed throughout the
United States, but is especially lnjuri-
GUS In the Southwest, according to a bull
letin Issued by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. 1t attacks a
great variety Of economic plants belong
Ing to different families. The natural
enemies Of the pest are ordinarily not
sufficient to hold IL in control. 1t may
be destroyed by fumigatlon with car
bon bisulphid or by the use of pyreth-
rum, tobacco fumes, or kerosene emuL
sion. Treatment with kerosene emul-
sion has the advantage that 1t is also
destructive to considerable variety Of

farmer. 1t is mounted on wheels, and
can be drawn along by man, while
boy steadies the handle to keep the
wire from unwindlng too rapidly and
klnking. For winding up wire that Is
taken of Of fence, the machine can
either be pushed or pulled, going just
fast enough to keep up with the wire
as 1t Is being wound on the reel. A
little rack like this, says The Farmer,
would be of considerable value to any
one who has any amount of barb wire
fencing to wind.

CHAPTER XVI.


Mr.. Wylie had returned from his Cor
nish trip, and had resumed business as
usual. He had been more than satisfied
with the survey of the estate that he al
ready grasped in Imagination. He had
given Mrs. Wylie a most glowing descrip-
tion of Its picturesque grandeur, and of
the fine old Castle; and he told her Of the
strange legend that was so near upon
being verified.
81 have heard something OF It before
from Arabella," said that lady, ''but new
er the name of the family. 1t Is certainly
very strange"
In only one plot had he received a
check-that for the marriage Of Stafford
and Constance; but he felt pretty well
assured Of its ultimate success. 9Th.
teggarly upstartw p was his thought. II
would give thousand pounds to foil him
in THAT quarter; but I never allow pri-
vate feelings to interfere with business.
1t suits my purpose that he should marry
her, and so l shall do all that lies In
my power to promote the match"
Such were some Of the thoughts that
passed through Mr.. Wylie's mind as he
sat at his desk. In the midst of his cogi-
tations, Mrs. Castleton was announced.
He rose to receive her with his usual
adulatory politeness, and handed her a
chair.
$50 you have returned from your Cor.
nish expedition" she said; "and the mar
riage Is broken off,"
"And how does the little love-making
progress" he asked, with sardonic
grin. "Has the bait taken? Is the fish
hooked? Is 1t to be Lady Penrhyddyn?"
"Wylie," she said, In quiet, grave
tone, I'VE have concocted between us a
vile, despicable scheme to entrap this
young man. If I had strength of mind
enough to sacrifice my own selfish ambi-
tion for another's happiness, he should
never see me again; but have not, and
therefore I 60 on. But you will not jeer
and sneer-at least, to my face. Let me
try and forget the part am playing, and
deceive myself into the belief that l am
all that pretend to be-"
Mr.. Wylie regarded her for moment
In unfeigned amazement. "Whatp he
cried, after a pause; do you mean to
say that 1t Is real case Of spoons upon
both sides2"
"Never mind what It isw she cried,
fiercely. "If 1t be, 50 much the better
for your plots and plans. All ask Of
you 10 to answer me one or two questions.

rather. his father, rich or poor manr

Manure that is allowed to remain
in the yard does not give as good re-
suits as that taken from the stalls,
as this fact has been shown by using
both kinds of manure on growing
crops. 1t Is not expected that farm
ers should keep their manure In stalls,
but 1t is now in order to prepare for
the storage of manure to prevent leach
ing by rains. All foods should be
fine and also the bedding, which will
permit Of better absorption Of liquids
and greater facility Of storage under
shelter.

CHAPTER Xv.-(Continued.)
Arthur drew back in astonishment at
the sight Of her flashing eyes, her quiver-
ing lips. But In an instant the mood
passed away, the eyes melted again into
dove-like softness, and the lips wreathed
themselves into smiles.
What will you think Of me for such
words as thoseT she cried. "When you
know thoroughly the strange, capricious
creature / am, never In the same mood
for two hours together, you will cease to
love me-"
Perhaps 1t will make me love you the
more" he said, smilingly. "And Is your
hatred, your dread Of poverty 80 very In
surmountable? Suppose that were ever
to become poor; would you cease to love
meT
You ever become poor !" she echoed,
opening her eyes very wid9; you, who
havea great estate, and who will one day
be Sir Arthur? How can you ever be
poor?"
"Such things have been," he said, smil-
Ing. Great lords have been reduced to
beggary, much less simple sirs."
why do you wish to torture me by
such thoughts?" she cried, petulantly.
Have l not told you that the name of
poverty makes me shudderY
There was cloud of sadness upon his
face, but the shadows of night were too
deep for her to perceive 1t.
Arthur was greatly astonished at this
sudden outburst, but he attached no
weight to it, imputing 1t to morbid petu-
lance. So he spoke to her soothing words,
and caressed her out of her sullen humor,
and she began to repent of having spok-
en- so freely.
"You must not notice my foolish
words" she said; "at times, / do not
know what say, and to hear me talk,
you would fancy that was a perfect
monster; but promise that you will never
heed such humors."
Hours after Arthur had departed, and
after all else in the house was asleep, she
sat in the solitude Of her own chamber
her hair hanging loosely about her shoul.
ders, a prey to conflicting emotions.
What could possess me to speak such
words" she murmured. "In a less gen
erous man might have aroused suspi
cions that 1 should never again be able
to set at rest. But he is too noble, toe
frank, to suspect where he loves. I would
that / were more worthy of him." sh,
went on, with sigh; "he Is the very
soul of honor-so different from all othel
men that have met. / wish he did no
love me half so well, or that I did NO
love him at all. l spoke truly when
told him that I never knew had {

.Cara Of Beea.

Bees should be kept at temperature
ranging from AZ to 45 degrees above
zero during cold weather, and the hives
should be dry. The light should be
excluded as much as possible, and the
hives should not be exposed to sudden
changes Of temperature. An ample sup,
ply Of honey should be left at the end
Of the season for the support of the
bees during the winter. 1t is not nee
essary to put the hive under shelter
until winter approaches, but 1t should
be in cool location in summer. If the
colony In each hive Is not strong It will
be Of but little service until 1t increases
in number. Too much warmth in win
ter Is not conducive to success.
The Ohio station has continued its
work with proprietary preparations Of
soluble oils with the result that these
materials appear to compare favorably

variable results obtained with soluble
oils indicate a variation in compost.
