The girls slender hands rested for
a moment on the desk by the typewrit-
,er and her big gray eyes looked out to
the fleecy bits of white clouds that
Ifioated in the far-off sky. Usually her
eyes were full of soft lights and shad-
ows, but just now they were dim with
longing.
Three months before she had come
to Atlanta to enter on business ca
rcer. Her parents had been loath to
let her leave the modest home nest,
but at last had given their consent.
"Amy always succeeds at anything
she undertakes" her mother had said
with pardonable pride. But the father
had shook his head half-sadly.
Perhaps she will make more money
there, but !. can't get over the notion
that girl is always better in the shell
ter Of home. A real woman always
longs for love and protection, and it
always hurts her to crush this long
ing"
Amy had dimly felt the truth of his
words in her young heart, but her mind
was made up.
Perhaps papa knows I've just as
good as said mo- to Fred, and he feels
sorry for him. He always liked him.
OF course, I like (she tried to say
the word like" lightly Fired, but
Just couldn't think Of tyin; myself
down to man who teaches winter
schools and runs summer farms"

Increased Coal Production.

Statistics compiled for the Geo1ogi-
cal Survey by Edward w. Parker, coal
mining expert Of the survey, show a
remarkable increase in the total pro-
duction of coal in the United States
during 1906 over the preceding year.
The production in 1906 was 414,O39,-
581 short tons of 1000 pounds, valued
at $512,610,774. In 1905 the output
amounted to 392,919,341 tons, valued
at $476,756,963. The increase in guam
tity was 5 per cent and in value z
percent.
West Virginia supplanted Illinois as
the State second to Pennsylvania in
coal production, attributed chiefly to-
the almost complete suspension OF
mining in Illinois during all of April
and part Of May, when the miners
and operators we're in coflict over the
wage scale.-Washing Post.

Sugar for Tired Horses.

From France comes the information
that good results have been obtained
from the use of sugar to overcome the
great fatigue in horses when over
worked. The horses employed in the
service of the National Military Col
lege in transacting the business of the
establishment are exposed during the
rainy season to great strain and con-
sequent exhaustion as result of Slip
perry roads and the increased amount
OF transportation due to certain con-
ditions then prevailing.
For this reason many horses in past
years have succumbed to the excessive
strain, very many become sick Path
ogenic microbes found in the prevail
ing conditions favorable fields for their
development, and fatigue caused great
loss of appetite, loss of flesh, pulmon-
ary LESSONS, cardonic disturbances,
etc

Fred was right" she said to her
self. Il am living on the husks. Home

any home to keep"
just as this moment tall figure in
an immaculate gray suit came around
the corner in front of her.
IL Was-yes, it was actually Fred!
A little joyful cry burst from her lips.
lie came up and held out his hand. And
1or the first time in her life the girl
Ielt proud of her big blue-eyed sweet
heart. And there was no mistaking
the look that flashed into his eyes as
ne smiled down on the face before
him.
How are you, Amy?"
"Oh, Fred, I'm miserable. and YOU
ought to know it without asking me.
If wasn't so happy at the sight of
you ! feel sure I'd cry this minute
Poor little girl! I thought you
would miss the home people and the
trees and birds and all the green out
of doors. I had to come in ON busi-
ness today, and I have brought you
basket of purple figs. They are ripe
now. and remembered how many
you could eat. I left them at your
boarding place. I had no idea that
l would be fortunate enough to see
you this afternoon, but I was going
to see you before left if had to stay
here a month";
While he talked they had walked
slowly along. Suddenly the girl STOP
ped.
Fred, are you through with the
business?"
'Why, yes"
There is train that leaves for
Riverdale in thirty minutes. l don't
want to see the boarding house any
more. I'll phone to Miss Kenneth that
the figs are for her. Poor little thing.
they will be such treat to her. Then
she can have my trunk sent down to
the station"
Fred was listening, not quite sure
what she was going TO do or say.
She looked down at her sleeves with
rueful smile
my shirtwaist isn't quite clean,
Fred, but won't you please take me
home?"
The mans eyes sparkled with salts
faction and amusement.
II will take you if you'll promise me
one thing-never to come back until I
tell you you may"
"But, Fred, isn't that taking ad-
vantage of the homesick?"
He shook his head solemnly.
You haven't left me any other
way
"Oh, Fred, I'll promise if you will
only take me home''
A half hour later she looked back at
the city from the car window.
"Good-by, you great, heart-breaking
place, good-by. You have taught me
how to appreciate love and home.''-

Buy Brood Mares.

Never has there been such a demand
for brood mares as there is this spring.
Here is just one instance Of how farm
ers are buying up good mares that
will breed. At the Chicago Stock
Yards recently, = fine Shire mare was
offered for sale for $3.50. She had been
injured in car smash up, and it was
uncertain whether she would breed or
not. The farmer was willing to chance
$3.50 on 1t. and took the mare home.
The demand is largely for heavy draft
mares. and prices are running from
5000 to $3.50. When such prices are
paid one should get good, sound ones,
those that will weigh from 14OO to
1000 pounds. Then breed only to the
best draft stations. With right care
a good mare will raise good colt
every year, and do her share Of the
farm work.-Indiana Farmer.

Good Tools Needed.

A good farmer needs good tools, and
good tools deserve a good tool house,
which means one with plenty of room
to use the tools as well as to keep them
mandy and safe. A large, well-stocked
tool house goes far to solve. the rainy
day problem. If the farmer and his
men are handy with tools there will
be plenty of work for all weathers and
at all times of the year. Almost any,
body may easily become q good enough
carpenter, blacksmith, painter, harness
maker and plumber; that is, good
enough for farm emergencies and for
use OF time that would otherwise be
wasted Lack of convenient tools and
place to use them is all that prevents
saving many a dollar.-American Gull
tivator.

Methods Of Milking.


Milking must be regular and fre-
quent If the flow is TO be long sus-
tanned. A doe giving a large quantity
should be milked three times day, to
prevent wasting, as the milk easily es-
capes from too greatly distended ud-
der.
A mich goat has two teats and is
MIXED in the same manner as a COW.
Ihese animals are very gentle and can
be MIXED by children, especially when
iced is given at milking time, and they
are extremely easy to manage in every
way.
. The young are ready to breed at
one year of age. They should have a
tolerably rough range, and not be
Kept too fat.-Farm Journal, Philadel-
phia.

Duchess Paints a Siqn.

The signboard of an inn at Rose.
meath, on the Clyde, was painted some
time ago by the Duchess of Argyll to
while away period of tedious waiting.
The Duchess is, of course, well known
as an artist, and has for many years
had a studio in Kensington Palace.
where she spends many hours in paint
ing and modelling. AS sculptor shs

late Sir Edgar Boehm, thought very
highly of her kill.-London Reader.

LOYAL Bob White

-OJds 0OO WnIIee
We have always sounded the praises
| OF that farmers friend, the Bob White
and we are always glad to quote any-
thing in confederation of our state
ments. A writer in Successful Farm
Ing says this about him:
''The ornithologists of the denart-
ment Of agriculture have been making
an investigation of the economic valne
OF the bob-white as result of which
1t is announced that the bird is prob
ably the most useful abundant species
on the farms.
Field observations, experiments ana
examinations show that it consumes
large quantities of weed seeds and de-
stroys many OF the worst insect pests
with which farmers contend, and it
does not injure grain, fruit or other
crops. It is figured that from Septem-
Der l to April 80, annually, in Virginia
alone, the total consumption of weed
seeds by bob whites amount to SGT
tons. Some of the pests which it also
destroys are the Mexican cotton boil
weev1l, which damages the cotton crop
upward of $15,000,00O a year; the DO
tato beetle, which cuts Off $4,000, 900
from the value of the potato crop; the
cotton worms, which have been known
to cause $4,000, 900 loss in a year: the
ch1nch bug and the Rocky Mountain
locust, scourges which leace desola-
ton in their path and have caused
losses of $1OO,00O,OOO in some years.
Certainly measures should be passed to
preserve this valuable Bird
1t is to the best interest of the farm
ers to afford this valuable bird ade-
quate protection from the inroads Of
the merciless pot hunter. No farm is
complete without the presence of Mr..
Bob White.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

Begin early in the life of the tree
to shape it. A young tree should con-
slst OF central leader with the main
branches distributed evenly about it,
forming well-balanced head. On no
account should tree be set with de-
clded fork in the trunk. The point at
which limb should be removed is
just at the upper part of the shoulder,
which will be at the base of each limb
where 1t joins the main trunk. If we
cut closely, the size of the wound is in
creased without in any appreciable ex-
the cutting is further from the tree,
the scar is still the same size, and a
long stub is left over which it will take
tree years to grow.
II possible, avoid removing large
limbs; and the best way to do this is
TO begin when the tree is young and
prune 1t Systematically and carefully.
II 1t is necessary to remove a large
llmD, use saw, cutting it short dis
tance from the bottom first, then saw
down from above, and the limb can
be removed without fear of splitting OF
below. Large wounds should be re-
moved without fear of splitting of
below. Large wounds should be
smoothed over with a knife, then COW
cred with gum shellac dissolved in al
cohol
In general way, summer pruning
promotes fruitfulness, while If wood
growth is desired, prune in winter. The
explanation of this is that great growth
and great fruitfulness do not go to-
gether. A plant must reach a GER
tain degree of maturity before it will
produce fruit, and an abundance of
plant food at the time the buds are
forming is desirable for best results.
Now, If by summer pruning part of the
branch is removed, the growth is
checked, and as the part removed les
sens the demand for plant food, it can
be devoted to the production Of fruit

Green Food for Chicks.

Green Food for Chicks.
An excellent green food for young
CHICKS can easily be provided through
the expenditure of few cents for oats.
A nalf bushel of oats should be placed
IN shallow box so that the entire
mass is two two four inches deep.
Ihls should be sprinkled with water
daily until the seeds have become
saturated when they will sprout and
continue to send up tender green
shoots. Very young stock may be fed
the shoots only, while older chicks
can be given seed and all.-Farmer's

duties per 220 pounds are: In boxes,
$780, common, in bulk, $2.s2; for pa

restricted. The high duty of $17.37
per 22O pounds for first grade, 1881
