CHAPTER XII.

A couple of pretty. objects the boys
looked when they entered the well-lighted
residence. Cyras smuggled Charles into
the nursery.
"Oh, my patience - uttered the nurse,
who was sitting there with her charge, a
lovely little lady between FIVE and six
years old, Gertrude Baumgarten. You
wicked boys what have you been up to
This Is your work, l know, Master Cy-
ras !"
rs It? Who gave you leave to know p
retorted Cyras. He was no more friendly
to Jaquet than he used to be, or she to
him.
Gertrude backed In fear against the
wall, her eyes, naughty and blue as were
her mothers, wide open with astonish-
ment- She did not like the appearances
Of things, and began to cry.
Now. don't be such a stupid, Gerty,''
exclaimed Cyras; there's nothing to CRY
for. Charleys nose bled, and it got on
to our clothes
"Yes, it's me that's hurt, Jaquet," put
In Charley, remembering his grievances
and giving way again. 1T isn't Cyras."
"Of course it's not" Indignantly re-
turned Jaquet, what harm does he ever
come to? you have been striking him.
that's what you have been doing Master
Cyras. You've been humping him on
the nose to make it bleed"
ITS nothing to you if I have" re-
turned Cyras, in choler. You just say
it again, though, and I'll strike YOU" He
disdained to say it was not so, or to de-
fend himself; he was by far too indiffer-
ent temperament
"Oh, nurse-look look ~ screamed out
the little girl
1t was supplemented by sharp scream
from Charley; his nose had begun to
bleed again; and at that moment there
was another interruption. The room door
opened, and the dean and his wife en-
tered. The nurse, whose temper was not
remarkably calm one and who disliked
the daring Cyras, was busy getting hot
water and basin.
Look at him, my lady, look at him, y
cried she; "and it's Master Cyras' do
ings p
What does all this mean?" demanded
the dean, his eyes wandering from one
boy to the other, from their faces to their
clothes, his ears taking in the sobbine
and the crying what is it, ask" he
sternly continued. for no one had replied
How dared you hit him?' exclaimed
Lady Grace, turning to Cyras.
The boy looked at her, but did not
answer. She took it for bravado. Her
passion rose. You are growing a perfect
little savage!" And raising her deli
cately gloved hand in the heat of the mo
ment, she struck Master Cyras some
tingling blows upon his cheeks. Or

Keep tn. Hen. A. w,,,.

To prevent disease keep the hens at
work by making them scratch for their
grain food. Overfeeding is the cause
Of bowel diseases In the summer, or,
rather, too much concentrated food Is
given, and not enough Of that which is
bulky. If the quarters are kept clean
there Is little danger Of contagious dis
ease unless an addition IL made to the
flock by bringing 4 bird from some
other farm. When new blood" Is
wanted procure a sitting of eggs of the
breed desired, as it Is very important
that when the eoops are clean, and the
fowls free from disease, no fowls nom
other places be introduced. ~ a flock
may thus be stocked with lice or In
fected with disease.

Immediately after the milk is sep
arated the cream should be cooled
down to the temperature of good cold
well water. This can be done by set
ting the cream can in a tub of water
and stirring the cream until It Is of
the same temperature as the water.
The water must be changed OCCASION
ally to keep the cream at this tenn
perature until ready for shipping. 1t
does no particular good to cool the
cream and then allow it to become
warm again before shipping.

Kindly insects help In the destruc-
ton OF the asparagus pest. The lady
bug, some snake feeders, or dragon
nies, and wasps and the spined and
bordered soldier bug-all these eat the
larvae OF this beetle. Ducks and chick
ems are fond Of them. Air Stacked
lime busted on the dew wet leaves
destroys the pest, or the ends of the
branches where they eongregate may
be cut and burned. The same RENE
dies hold good for the spotted beetle,
but bis favorite place Of hiding is in
the berry, Sc these should be cut and
burned as fast as they form.

Keeninx the cider Sweet.

The keeping Of cider as sweet as pos
sible represents another Important task
In connection with this product. Sassa-
fras bark, or ground cinnamon, are
among the preservatives most used IN
rural homes. In cities the taste Is OFT
en- spoiled by too much preservatives.
Left to itself, sweet cider soon becomes
hard. Hard cider Is intoxicating, and,
on account of the difficulty In determin-
ing just when alcohol begins TO enter
into sweet cider many temperance pee-
pie are inclined to put the ban on all
cider.
Vinegar is obtained by placing bar
rels OF elder in the sun or In q warm
cellar. The bungholes of the barrels
are always left open. Mother of vine
gar Is put into each barrel In small
quantities, and helps in the transforma-
ton of cider to vinegar. A very large
per cent of the cider that comes from
the present-day cider mill Is eventually
turned into vinegar.
1t Is fact not appreciated by every
one that the quality of elder, and the
other products Of the cider as well, Is
dependent upon the kind of apples that
are used. Those people who Insist ON
using the scrubs of the orchard for
cider cannot expect the best results.
In some states apples are grown espe-
clally for cider. A ripe apple and one
that Is particularly full of juice will
make better cider, better Jelly and bet
ter apple butter than ones that do not
possess these qualities. Among the
common varieties of apples the Bald
win Is much desired for the elder mill.
Getting Down to Businsss D.,rxinm
The drst Dairy Test Association In
New England was organized a few days
ago at Durham, N. H., under direction
of the Experiment Station workers.
The membership Is made up Of pro
gressive dairy farmers. The object ia
to cooperate In getting records which
show the quality of milk In the various
herds and the cost Of feeding. The as
ISOLATION will engage an agent to do
the testing and each member will pay
bis part Of the expense. The plan has
been found to work successfully in
other parts Of the country and enabled
dairyinen to ind out just what their
herds are doing and what changes are
needed. The experiment stations Of
New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine,
1t Is understood, will encourage the
formation of these associations In all
dairy sectiona.

Dynevor, who was hand-in-glovs with
some Of the senior boys, returned Cyras'
jacket and cap to him and went away
with his friends and the two Baumgar-
lens were left alone. Charles was crying
and shaking. Charles' nose was bleeding
and down sat Cyras in corner of the
ncw deserted cloisters, and hold tho child

have done.

They hit me everywhere, Cyras," sob

years younger than his brother, was as
baby compared with him in hardihood
and In knowledge of the world. oh
how my nose bleeds !"
Cyras with his own white handkerchief
kept wiping the suffering nose, kissing
Charley between whites.
Charley, dear" he began. between the
latter's sobs, 'if l hit you sometimes it
isn't that want to hurt you, for love
you very much, better than anything in
the world. You mustn't mind my hitting
you; I'm used to hit; and it'll teach you

closer to Cyras. whom. In spite of the

AII-Around value. in Ashes.

Ashes are commonly valued by farm
ers for the potash which they are sup
posed to contain. According to recent
experiments In Europe, it appears that
the phosphoric acid In the ashes is
also more valuable than its quantity
would indicate, since even that part
which does not dissolve in water is
nevertheless easily taken up by plants.
The lime in ashes is also Of value,
more so than generally supposed, when
used on land inclined to be sour.

EXTENSION
Many improvements Being Made on
the Northern Pacific Lines West
From Fargo.

Extensive construction work has be-
gun on the telegraph system along the
Northern Pacific between here and
Jamestown. William O'ConneH, chief
iineman for the N. p, and crew of
twentyfour men arrived in Fargo THIS
morning and at once began rebuilding
the line to the west of this city. 1t is
necessary to put in NUMBER of new
cross arms and generally remodel the
entire system so that room may be
provided for the stringing of new
wires.
The quadrupleX wire which is being
laid from Tacoma to st. Paul has been
completed as far as jamestown and
from Fargo to St Paul. But because
of lack Of sufficient room on the
cross arms of the poles the wire could
not be strung from jamestown to Far
go. When the proposed Improvements
in the system have been made it will
be possible to fill in this gap. The
work planned is quite extensive and ii
will probably be fully two weeks before

THEOUTLOOKF FLOR CROPS
Snow Is Fast Disappearing in North
Dakota and Farms Ready
for Seeding.

Farmers from all over the country
report that while in the northern part
of the state there is still little snow
in places, on the fields there are great
areas of bare ground. and no water
standing anywhere. This unusual con-
dition is due to the absence of frost
in the ground. and the prospects are
very cheering for the farmers. A few
days of warm weather will put the
fields in condition to work, and with
ordinary spring weather from now on
seeding will generally be under way
reasonably early.
Seeding viii be done in the north
west this year under conditions which
have seldom prevailed Ordinarily
the earth is frozen to depth of sew
eral feet, and seed is sown on ground
which is thawed on the surface to the
depth of few inches only. With
plenty of moisture in the subsoil, there
is some advantage in this, for as long
as there is frost beneath the gradual
thawing keeps moisture coming to the
surface, and it is difficult for the earth
to become too dry near the surface

Of being absorbed by the soil it runs
off into the small streams and finds its
way down the river. Last fall the soil
was very dry and in some places even
where the snow had blown off and the

enough moisture in the earth to make
the particles freeze together This

frost in most places, has made 1t cer-

Fargo Schools.

The public schools OF Fargo are en-
gagged in a work which all agree is of
the highest Importance to our city.
This work, however, cannot be done as
it ought to be done without the i'm
teiligent and sympathetic cooperation
of all the people. The nature and ex-
tent of the burdens and responsible
ties which members of the school
board have to bear. together with the
arduous and pains-taking work of the
superintendent, principals and teach
ers are matters about which great
many of our people know but little.

interest in the work of our public

have this as the subject. Of the regulaf
