Farm and Home.
Clean a plain wooden kitchen chair
thoroughly, and then turn it, legs up
ward, on kitchen table. Tie clean,
single or double piece of white
cheesecloth securely by the corners to
the chair legs, being careful not to
allow too much fullness to prevent too
much sagging. Place a bowl under
meath the bag on the under side of
the chair seat, and then pour some
boiling water from the kettle into the
bag. When it has run away, and the
cloth is still hot, quickly remove full
bowl and put another in its place, and
pour the hot fruit to be strained into
the jelly bag. Again change bowls
and pour the first juice back into the
jelly bag. Then throw a clean, white
mosquito netting over the chair and
leave the jelly juice to strain all night
OF course chair, table, floor and every
utensil used, as well as the cheese
cloth and mosquito netting, must be
scrupulously clean.

different farm homes last week, writes
a correspondent of Indiana Farmer,

needs and the live stock. These wells
were located where they were most
convenient for the stock. That is 3

chance for seepage or surface pollu

possible, and then pipe the stock sup

THE SIN OF LAND.MURDER.
Seriousness of the Situation Not Gen.
orally Realized.

The deterioration of fertility under
cultivation that is lacking in care for
the future is far more noticeable In
some portions of the south than in the
middle west. The Progressive Farm.
er, recognizing the seriousness OF the
situation, speaks as follows:
THE truth is, that 1t is time now to
see that man who wears out a piece
OF land sins-just as a man sins who
wcGrs out human body with drunk
enness or dissipation. We are coming
TO the time when a man will be as
much ashamed of owning quilted
hillside as of owning skin-and bones
horse. AS James j. Hill, than whom
there is hardly a greater American
living, declared in Washington:
North Carolina was, a century
ago, one of the great agricultural
states of the country and one of the
wealthiest. To-day as you ride through
the south you see everywhere land
quilted by torrential rains, red and
yellow clay banks exposed where once
were fertile fields, and agriculture re-
duced because its main support has
been washed away. Millions of acres,
in places to the extent of one-tenth of
the entire arabic area, have been so
injured that no industry and no care
can restore them
And the seriousness of this land
murder is not appreciated by one man
in thousand. You see an acre of
land ruined and you say: Well, there
is $40, $40, or $50 loss, according to
the price of land in your community.
But the truth is, that the merely tenn
porary estimate put opon land values
as indicated by present prices, does
not indicate at all the far-reaching
extent of the damage. Three hun
dred years ago you could have bought
that land from the Indians at ten
cents an acre, but if an acre of it had
been ruined then, would the damage
as we see it now, have amounted to
only ten cents? A hundred years ago
the same land may have been worth
only a dollar an acre; but we know
now that to have ruined an acre
would have meant more than a dol
lars loss. And so the price of land
today is no criterion by which tc
Judge the damage and the sin against
posterity wrought by the man who
murders an acre of Gods heritage to
the human race-a heritage he meant
to last as long as time itself. The ma
ton does we'll to give the matter seri

CHAPTER VII.
NV Lord Hears III Tidines.

The morning sun was streaming
brightly through the windows when
Darlington glanced at his watch as he
opened his eyes, and was startled to
discover that it was already seven
o'clock And he had meant to get
up early that day to prepare himself
the better for that interview with his
wife. Hastily arising, he stole soft
ly to the door opening into her bou-
doir, tried the knob gently and found
that the door was locked. He lis
tened, but could hear nothing. Imag-
lining that she was still asleep, he sum-
moned his valet, bathed and dressed
himself with unusual care for the op-
erations of the day, and then returned
to the door of the boudoir. Again ne
Knocked and more loudly. Receiving
no answer, he fairly Numbered upon it
with his feet, to be met with the
same silence as before.

thin on the ground, it is there the best
berries are always found. Many plans
of placing or spacing runners have
been tried, and nearly every grower
has his own distinctive way, which he
varies from time to time when he
thinks he has discovered something
better. 1t really does not matter so
much what arrangement of the run
ners is made, provided they are given
plenty of room. Next to spacing them
is the labor of cutting off the surplus
ones that are not needed. An early
set, vigorous plant will send out null
titude of runners during the growing
season and keep it up till freezing
weather has stopped growth. Pinch
ing or cutting them off with a knife
or scissors is slow work and requires
constant STOPPING, which is relished
neither by old nor young. This work
may be lightened as follows:
Take a worn-out hoe, says Orange
Judd Farmer, and have the blacksmith
straighten the blade on line with
the shank. You can have it any width
the hoe will admit. For cutting around
single plants a narrow blade is best;
for narrowing in the side of row the
wider the blade the better. For mar
rowing the row an ordinary plow
counter may be used. 1t may be fas-
tened to the cultivator or 1t may be
attached to handles, whetted sharp
and trundled along by hand.
After the raspberries and black
berries are through bearing is the
best time to cut out the old canes. An
other simple instrument is also made
out of an old hoe for this work, only
in this case the hoe blade IS turned
in a sickle shape, so as to catch firmly
around the cane. This allows the man
to do all the cutting while standing
erect. His left hand should be pro-
vided with a strong glove to hold the
canes and pull them out The illustra-
ton shows how the cutter looks when
completed.

just following the revolution, in Caring

DOUBTFUL OF THE GUARANTEE.
Specific Clause Caused Increase In
Price of Cloth.

The Arabs, and, indeed, all Mos
lens, have the practice Of reinforcing
promises by adding to their word OF
honor the Arabic phrase, lnshallah-
please God" How much meaning 1t
conveys in some lands of the east is
told in the pages of In Moori2h Cap
tivity."
The pious proviso is very useful
formula to the Moors, and is frequent
ly used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever of keep
ing, as they can then take refuge be-
hind the Almighty when they are
taxed with their breach of faith.
There is story told of man who
kept shop in Gibraltar, and who
knew the ways of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was desirous of buying some cloth.
On being informed that the price was
two dollars a yard, payment in 60
days, he replied:
"All right. | will take so much and
will pay you in 60 days, Inshallah."
NO" said the vender, the price ia
two dollars, payment in 60 days. For
60 days, Inshallah, the price is two
dollars and a half."-Youth's Com
panion.

FARM NOTES.

Cultivation should be mostly to
keep down weeds.
Stock barns should be light, dry and
well ventilated.
Molasses is proving to be good
feed for farm animals, including dairy
COWS.
Dairying is the one branch in which
no man should engage who has not a
real liking for COWS.
Weeds are not an enemy. They take
possession of waste places and often
plow up the soil and make way for
the coming of grasses.
When the potato vines are half
grown they have filled the ground
with lateral roots. Cultivate over the
roots and not through them.
The dairy COW requires five times
as much of the carbon in her food as
of the protein because she must from
that produce both heat and energy.

The road from the lodge gate ran
for about half mile through the park
until it Joined the main road. Ports
mouth lay to the eastward, to the
westward was Plymouth. Having
passed the lodge successfully, Ellen
raised the blinds of the carriage and
looked out upon the familiar scenes
flying swiftly by them, for Strathgate
had put the bays into fast trot and
the light carriage was going forward
at a rapid gait. In a short time they
came to the main road. Now Ellen
knew the way perfectly. She was
greatly astonished, therefore, to see
Strathgate turning to the right. She
lowered the window and thrust her
head out once more.
MY lord!" she called.
Strathgate scarcely checking the
pace of the horses leaned back to
listen.
1--WE wish to go to Portsmouth"
so you said" returned my lord.
"Well, Portsmouth lies to the left
and you are taking us to the right"
you will be safer at my castle in
Somerset than at Portsmouth, l think,
my lady"
but | don't wish to go to your cas-
tle," cried Lady Ellen angrily.
And do you imagine, my dear Lady
Darlington" chuckled Strathgate, who
was greatly amused over the situation,
that l have run away with you from
your husbands house to defend you if
need be by sword and pistol from your
husband, for the sake of handing you
over to some American sailor at
Portsmouth,"
MY lord!" exclaimed Ellen, thun-
derstruck by this open intimation of
the earls feelings.
You must have seen that | love
you," continued Strathgate coolly
enough, "and in short l am taking you
to my own house. l shall know how
to hold you safe there"
You villain!" cried Ellen, while
Deborah, overwhelmed with the horror
of this revelation, for the conversation
was quite audible to her, nearly faint
ed within the carriage.
Ellen had been fumbling at her belt
while this was spoken and in fit of
passion she suddenly reached up her
arm and discharged her pistol full at
the earl, He had just time, catching
a glimpse of the shining steel of the
barrel in the waning moonlight, to
throw himself aside when the bullet
whistled by his ear. The startled
horses bounded into a run at once,
and for few moments Strathgate had
all he could do to control them.
He succeeded In quieting the horses
somewhat, but did not dare to bring
them to a slow pace lest Ellen should
escape from the carriage. To attempt
to jump from it, which, indeed, she
had thought upon, was too great risk
to life and limb, and, beside, it in
volved leaving Deborah behind. There
was one thing she could do, however.

to stop. Ellen and Deborah were
thrown against the front of the car
riage, but beyond a severe shaking and
some bruises, sustained no injuries
Surmising what had happened, FL
len tore open the door of the carriage,
seized Deborah by the hand, dragged
her out and ran desperately down the
road. She did not see Strathgate;
she did not know where he was; she
did not care.
With all the strength of her stout
young body she ran down the road
She did not turn back toward Ports
mouth, for she OWNED that if Strath-
gate recovered consciousness he would
Immediately imagine that she had
gone that way. She was unfamiliar
with the part of the country in which
she found herself, but she had a gen
eral idea that the roads in either di-
rection led to the sea, and her hope
was to reach the shore. There was
sail. If she could get boat, she
could make Portsmouth harbor with
out danger of pursuit.
The dawn was gray in the east.
Ellen judged it was about half after
four o'clock. They had been gone two
hours from the castle and half hour
from the carriage when the road
swerved to the southwark and led from
the forest to a little fishing hamlet on
the shore of Lyme bay. Nobody was as
yet stirring in the town, although
lights twinkled here and there in the
windows, indicating that some of the
fisherfolk were making ready for their
days labor
Ellen was too desperately anxious
to get away to stop to bargain with
anyone for a boat She ran down to
the little wharf jutting out into the
small inclosed harbor and rapidly Sc
lecting the best of the little vessels
tied there, she hauled in the painter,
drew it alongside the wharf, made
Deborah get aboard, laid five guineas
down on the wharf where the boat had
been secured, i'll the hope that the
owner of the boat would receive the
money which was full value for the
vessel, hoisted the sail, showed away
from the wharf, and under the influ-
ence of a gentle breeze ran rapidly out
of the harbor.
Il would Sir Charles Seton were
here!" cried poor Debbie, who had
not the advantage of Ellen's exten.
sive and intimate acquaintance with
the male sex, and who, therefore, did
not share her detestation OF it.
And what is he to thee, child?"
asked Ellen gleefully.
"He said he cared very much for
me-" returned Deborah, 'yesternight
in the library over the good book Of
Master Baxter"
"'Tis a gallant gentleman, Debbie,'
returned Ellen. But they are all
that before marriage. My lord Of
Darlington / once thought was we'll
nigh perfect" n
But what did he" asked Debbie.
that you leave him thus?"
And this heroine who had schemed
and fought like a man for her lib
erty bowed her head upon the Purt-
tan's shoulder and wept like any other
woman.
Deborah consoled her as best she
might, and in turn Ellen assured her
that if Sir Charles really loved her
he would follow her wherever she
might go. Who shall say in that as
surance Ellen was not persuading her
self that if Bernard Darlington really
loved his own wife he would not be
far from Charles Seton on the chase
across the sea?
