Kyng gk med raske Skridt tilbage mod Diet hemmelig-
hedsfulde Sted; men jo mer han nermede sig Diet, jo
langsommere blew hans Gang. Gamle, langst forglemte
Sagn faldt ham ind, og de Begivenheder hans Liv, der
med en- forbigaaende Cru havds bersrt ham, traadte after

tese, han for tyve Aar siden havde maattet oververe for
at oplese Dsdsdommen paa Retterstedet for en- Barne-

at efterstrabe hendes Uskyldighed. Kort efter havde
han forladt sin Faders Illus for at drage til Universe

Dorthe, som hin Pige kaldtes, var bleven tungsindig OF
f~orsSmmelig, hvorfor hun havde mistet sin Tjeneste.

hende, som han ferst sdv havde maattet anf9re i den

SAVING Waste Land.

The people Of Denmark are fast re-
claiming their waste land by the labor
Of convicts. In Jutland there Is a
large undeveloped territory Of almost
barren waste covered with tough,
healthy underground. The government
,ets the prisoners at work breaking up
the tough surface and putting 1t into
shape for farming. Even then the land
is at first of very low grade. and 1t Is
given away to settlers who care to
lake possession.
Through their efforts many farms
have begun to dot the Jutland land
scapc, and trees are seen where for
nerly were unbroken stretches of bar
Ell land. Many acres Of good grain
hearing land have been built up by the
oalient toll Of the Danish settlers.
The experiment may he valuable

present period OF hard times. which

follows:
AS calf he sucked his dam for
seven months: then we put him on
nurse COW. which he sucked twice
day until the close Of the international.
lie was fed roots during the winter
and spring Of 1867, with as much
chopped feed rs he would eat up clean.
This wax composed Of oats three parts
and peas one part together with clio
yer hay. This feed was continued up
to the time he was finished for the
show. He was also given little fax
seed meal after the root crops were
exhausted and a little bran when he
was at the fairs. But he was never
given a handful Of corn or oil cake.
He was kept In the stable throughout
the summer Of 1907 and turned into
the herd once day for exercise"
High Finish In Baby Beef.
The value of high finish IN all classes
of beef Is too little needed. but In some
|classes Of beef II Is not nearly 50 i'm
portant MS In others. 1t will not pay to
spend very much food on some ami
mails with n view to giving them a
high finish for the reason that they are
not susceptible OF taking such finish
readily and when put Oh the market
will not bring top price. But 1t IS
different with baby beef. The animals
IRE young ard are usually susceptible
Of taking Oh a high finish II they are
fed right. OF course some steers will
not take so high finish as others.
Unless a steer is possessed OF high
type OF quality lie will not take on the
highest class of finish. The same finish
cannot be given to an open ribbed
steer that Is given to one close ribbed.
Dehorned Cattle.
Writing Of dehorned cattle, Maine
breeder says: My first experience with
dehOrned cattle was back In the early
fortics, when an eccentric old doctor In
our vicinity brought the practice to our
attention. In 1900, having become dis
gusted with the fighting propensitles
OF our animals and the consequent bro
ken horns, l made clean cut Of the
entire herd and later on destroyed the
embryonic horns when the calf was
three or four weeks old with caustic
potash. The horns Of the young calf
can be cut out with knife. ! have
noted no Ill effects from the removal
Of horns Of all stock. big and little,
and now would not have herd with
horns. no matter what the breed. 1t is
all right to let the bulls horns remain,

To keep tomatoes pick the largest
specimens that have begun to show
color as soon MS the vines are cut by
frost, but before the fruit Is frosted.
Handle carefully to prevent bruising.

HEALTH OF SWINE.

Charcoal and Other Cerreetives Need.
ed to Ward or Disease.
Under some conditions swine show
a DECIDED craving for such substances
as charcoal, charrcd corncobs, soft
coal. wood ashes, soft sandstone, soft
bricks. bits OF mortar. rotten wood
and soapsuds; also earth. Such n
craving when markedly present is evil
dence that the swine are not getting
IN the food all the elements that they
need. In order to meet this need 1t is
recommended that some Mt least of
these substances shall be given to
them artincially. Those most COM
monty recommended are charcoal.
charred corncobs and wood ashes.
These are put In self feeders and are
made accessible to the swine.
A writer In the Breeders Gazette,
Chicago, tells how to make one Of
these self feeders. as follows:
would suggest box with frame OF
4 by 4 inch pine, strongly braced with
. by inch pine. set inside shallow
box with faring sides. us Indicated in

shaped center. The corner posts of the
box should be toe nailed to the bottom.

America. OF late years, however. the
insects destructive to this admirable
fruit have become less plentiful, and
now there have been introduced SO
many kinds that are proof against the
ravages Of the plague that the plum
Is fast resuming its original inpor-
lance as a garden and orchard fruit.
Plum culture has already reached a
high stage Of development on the Pa
ciiic coast, and since the new varie.
ties from Japan made their appear
ance the number Of growers all over
the country has increased greatly.
The modern plum Is a great improve
ment over the old fashioned fruit OF
half century ago. Some OF the
hybrids recently brought to public no
tice by American growers bid fair to
become prime favorltcs. Among the
most promising Of these Is the Waugh,
plum which has stood the test re-
markably we'll and Is in every respect
desirable acquisition.
