A Eob.n and Its nor.e

A correspondent whose hone is an
Ayrshire, Scotland rectory gives some
interesting particulars of robin
which made a temporary home in an
ivy plant at the entrance to the house.
Visitors to the house had to pass with
in few feet of his perch, but he took
little or no notice. Next winter he
returned to his old quarters. Ee ar
rived in December and left about the
beginning of March.
He did not come this winter" says
the writer, lin spite of hard weather,
though he was frequently seen in the
church and hall when doors and win
dows were opened on fine days. Last
week, when the frost was at it's keen
est, was returning home one evening
at sunset, and on approaching the
front door of the rectory a robin flut-
tered down toward me and then
perched on the church porch a few
yards away. purposely left the front
door open, and on returning a little
later great was my joy to find that
robin had come back to u.s.

MISS Tie L.o... a. Nose:
Peculiar How Sore f-cp'e Used TO
BustIe. Are Unhappy Arid Quiet
Surroundings

The necessity which some people
feel for noisy surroundings was men
toned by famous specia list in giving
medical explanation of the case OF
little Horace Collins, the heroic mes
senger boy. The lad, although able
to crafty every wish as the guest of
Lord Lansdowne, at Bowood house,
has mastering longing for the bus
tie and light of the London streets.
1T is very clear cose of nostalgia"
said the doctor. "A person suffering
like that has lost two everyday
friends. as it were-nose and light. 1t
is entirely due to the nerves. Our
nervous system gets into pro-
nounced groove in accordance with
the everyday condition under which
we live. sudden change in living
throws the nervous system out of
gear. Both light and noise are nerv-
Gus stimuli to people who live amid
noise and light. Take away the COM
radeship of noise and light and the
nervous system loses two stimulants
| necessary to it's well-being and suffers
in consequence.
With the boy Collins the fact that
he does not see policemen troubles
him, because policemen to him have
become an important part of the ma
tural scheme of things.
"A very similar case occurred with
a London housekeeper of mine. She
was sent away to the country, and
simply couldn't endure to live there.

The Cost Of Horse Labor.

The Investigations carried on for
six years in three districts In Mime
sofa show that the horses on these
farms worked an average of 3.15 hours
on every week day of the year No
Sunday work was counted. The aver
age total number of horses on these
farms during the six years was 42S.
The cost of maintaining them varied
somewhat in the different localities. At
one point the work horses cost an av-
erage of S64,9S per year, at another
$55.45. and at another SALTS. This
represents the cost of grain and hay
only. No labor, straw or pasture was
charged in this. Prices for grain were
those ruling in local markets, less the
cost OF hauling it to market.

the woods back OF the church, where
Griswold began to exercise his rea-
soning powers.
Some one must have come in from
this direction and freed the man and
taken him away" he declared.
He knelt and marked the footprints
where Appleweight had been left tied;
but the grass here was much tram
pied, and Griswold was misled by the
fact, not knowing that news of APP
pleweight's strange disappearance had
passed among the outlaws friends by
the swift telegraphy of the border,
and that the whole neighborhood had
been threshed over hours before. 1t
might have been some small consola-
ton to Griswold had he known that
Appleweight's friends and accom-
plices were as much at loss to know
what had become of the chieftain as
the men who had tried SO Intellectual
ly to kidnap him. From the appear
ance of the trampled grass many men
had taken a hand in releasing the
prisoner, and this impression did not
clarity matters for Griswold.
where does this path lead?" asked
Barbara.
This Is Ardsley land here, this side
OF the church, and that trail leads on,
II | remember. to the main Ardsley
highway, with which various other
roads are connected--many miles in
all. It's inconceivable that the de-
liverers of this outlaw should have
taken him into the estate, where
sort of police system is maintained
by the forestry corps. don't at all
make 1t out"
He went off to explore the heavy
woods on each side of the trail that
led into Ardsley, but without result.
When he came gloomily back he found
that In his absence Barbara had fol-
lowed the bridle-path for consider
able distance, and she held out to him
diminutive pocket handkerchief,
which had evidently been snatched
away from the owner-so Barbara ex-
plained--by a low-hanging branch of
an oak, and flung into blackberry
BUSH where she had found it. 1t was
a trifie, indeed, the slightest bit of
linen, which they held between them

NEW IDEA FOR FALL FLOWING
important That Land Be Thoroughly
Turned and Sod Thrown to Bot
tom OF FurroW.

We have seen lot of bad blowing
this season. especially on new
land where the breaking Is done
by contract. 1t is very important
that the land be thoroughly turn
ed and the sod thrown to the bot
tom of the furrow When the land
is plowed the surface should be
partly fined 1t should not be
worked down as fne as for seed
bed but the larger clods should
be broken up, which, OF course, Is a
mean Job on heavy soils In this avn
full dry season II the surface
we're made too fine the land would
crust and also might not be suffi-
ciently uneven to catch drifting SHOWS.
The partial filming Of the surface
should be done at once, writes j. ID.
Tinsley in Field and Farm. The best
rule is to work down what has been
plowed in the morning before going
to dinner and the afternoon blowing
before going to supper. Never turn
land and leave 1t rough to be fined
when the breaking has been finished
or to be weathered as in the humid re-
gion.
Observations for the past three
winters on land broken and left
rough have shown quite conclu-
sively that land so treated was as dry
If not drier In spring than unoroken
sod. In the early deep breaking the
sub-surface packer may be run after
the pillow, but the soil would prob
ably settle without 1t and its use Is
not so essential as In the case OF late
breaking The disk Is probably the
best tool for the partial filming as 1t
not only cuts up the clods but also
packs the soil considerably. If a
disk is not available the ground should
be gone over with spike-toothed
drag harrow, or with some form OF
drag. The land may be allowed to
stand in this condition until spring
and then worked to a seed bed.
The method Of early deep break
ing that has been described requires
heavy teams and considerable labor.
but will pay. When deep breaking is
impossible, the sod may be turned
three inches or more and allowed to
lie over winter. This will be better
than not breaking at all, provided the
sod Is turned fiat. Where for any rea-
son 1t is impossible to break the
land early much good may be ac-
complished by disking the soil, es-
pecially If 1t be double disked.
with the disks set to lap one-halt.
In many cases this double disking will
do about as much good as shallow
breaking. 1t partly opens up the sur
face to let in water and produces a
partial mulch. This blowing can be
kept up in most parts of the arid rl-
gion until the first of January and may
be continued all winter if the frost is
not too deep.

as this edge is the least bit out of
drawing from careless ironing"
And / should say, from a certain
crispness it still retains, that 1t hasn't
been in the forest long 1t hasn't
been rained on, at any rate" added
Griswold
But even the handkerchief doesn't
tell us anything" said Barbara,
spreading it out, except that some
woman visitor has ridden here within
few days and played drop the hand
kerchief with herself or somebody
else to us unknown"
she may have been a scarlet fever
patient from Ardsley; you'd better
have a care" And Griswold's tone
was bitter.
I'm not afraid; and as have never
been so near Ardsley before, | should
like to ride in and steal glimpse.
There's little danger of meeting the
lord of the manor, suppose, or any
of his guests at this hour, and we
need not go near the house"
He saw that she was really curious,
and it was not in his heart to refuse
her, so they followed the bridle-path
through the cool forest, and came in
due course to the clearing where Jer-
ry had first confessed herself lost,
and thereafter had suffered the cap
tured outlaw to point her the way
home.
The timber has been cut here

The path he chose had really been
beaten into better condition than
either of the others, and they rode

grassy slope raised its head and
stared at them, and fox scampered
wildly before them. 1t seemed that

sooner than Griswold had expected.

sized offspring.
Clean up the weeds and rubbish
outside the houses and there will be-
fewer insects inside.
A few hens carefully watched and
literally fed are more profitable than
large number forced to forage for
their living.
Too much onion, fish scrap and
stale bread often causes eggs to have

tuberculosis in chickens has been

Imported Insects.

1t is said that some of the insects
imported into this country do more
damage to crops here than they do
to crops in their native countries. The
reason assigned is that the parasites
which are their natural enemies were
left behind. consequently the insects
are kept in check in their native To-
calities and have greater opportunities
to multiply in our country. The de-
structive cabbage worm has a para
site In Europe which prevents 1t from
doing great damage. The Hessian fly
parasite, however, has been imported
to this country, and it has done much
to keep the fly in check.
