brain. 1t was not only pain. but a
painful desire to understand, which
moved her. Why did he do it? What
did he mean by it? 1t seemed almost
impossible to believe that 1t was only
the familiar childish effort to clear
himself by blaming her: "It's Janet

in the nursery days, "It's not me

"Well!" he said. 1T was you--you

BENEFIT OF STOCK.

The real benefit derived from keep
ing stock may always be traced to7the
management. Good blood is essen-
tial, but no animal can thrive that IL
compelled to depend upon itself.
Pure-bred stock demands the best
care, but the same may also be said
of common stock. The food is the
important factor in the production Of
meat or milk. but some animals can
make better use of food than others.
The farmers attention, however, is
necessary for all kinds Of live stock
if the animals are to give profit

HILLSIDE LANDS.

There are thousands of acres Of
hillside land that are not utilized. yet
the hillside is an excellent location
for an orchard. Some of the best or
chards are ON land that cannot be
plowed. Where the land can be
titled it is an advantage, but hillside
land win not only permit Of fruit
growing, but can also be utilized for
sheep, especially the merinos, which
are hardy and active, foraging wher.
ever they can climb. Wherever por-
tion of the farm is too hilly for cultis
walton it can be given up to sheen.

CHAPTER TX. II
Continued.

Janet stood In the hall when she
had managed to twist out of her
mothers hold. Her eyes had a wild
sparkle in them, dazzled from the
might: her hair was hanging dank
about her shoulders; her hat tied on
with Mr.. Blackmore's handkerchief.
She looked dazed, speechless, guilty,
with fear in her face and in her soul.
She looked as if she might behave
mad the habit of being struck and
beaten. standing trembling before
her mother, who had never harmed "A

was to drive me home"
Well, and that was all? God be
thanked there has been no accident.
But where is Tom?"
Mr.. Tom is just coming up the
avenue, my lady," said one of the
men.
Then all is right, and there was
really nothing to be afraid Of" said
Lady Car with an agitated laugh.
Was Janet to be let Off so easily?
She stood watching her mother with
uneasy suspicion, while all attention
was diverted to Tom, who jumped off
his horse in similar pale suspicion
and fear. but with brows lowering
and eyes half shadowed by the eye.

Janet stood aghast with her mouth
open, taking in every word. A cry
Of protest rose UP in her breast, which
she had just comprehension enough
to stifie. Never mind just now, my
boy" said Beaufort; "all's well that
ends well. but you have given your
mother great fright You can tell
me after how it was"

CoRN-AND-CoB MEAL.

Several of the State experiment sta
tions find that corn and cob meal fed
to steers has an equal feeding value
of corn meal, counting the pounds in-
cluded in the ground cobs, and that
by grinding the corn and cob meal to-
gether from twelve to fourteen
pounds more food can be obtained
from a bushel Of corn than is obtained
from a bushel of corn when the corn
is shelled and used whole or shelled
and ground. A food cooker can be
used to great advantage in connec-
tion with feeding corn and cob meal
to hogs. If it is made into the form
of slop and then brought to the boil
ing point, after adding about one
pound of oil meal or tankage to every
twelve pounds of the grain mixtures
very palatable food will result.
Such a mixture can be used once
day to very great advantage, and, iI-
deed, many successful men feed such
a ration night and morning with a
little dry corn at noon and get good
gains as result.
With corn at high price this mat
ter of corn and cob meal is well worth
considering as saving of corn and
many farmers are turning their at
tention to it.-Indiana Farmer.

TEMPERATURES OF WATER.

We are often asked to name the
right temperature of the well water
when given to dairy cows. The am
swer to this question depends on the
cows, the manner of stabling that
they are receiving and whether the
water is given to them out of doors
or in the barn. The warmth of the
stable and the feed that they are re-
ceiving would also in great measure
determine the temperature of the
water they should receive. The deli
cate Jersey seems to relish warm
water. The cows that are fed chiefly
on corn and other carbonaceous foods
relish cold water. While taking into
consideration all kinds of cattle, un-
der all manner of conditions, we
know of no better temperature than
that of the water as it comes direct
from the well. Some dairymen claim
that their cows always select their
water closest to the tank heater, and
consider this as evidence to prove
that they relish warm water; while
other dairymen claim that cattle, like
human Delngs, rellSn tnelr water cora.
Taking all kinds of cattle into con-
sideration with all kinds of feeding
and all manner of stabling, it is in
deed impossible to give an exact tenn
perature to suit all conditions. How
ever, for the average COW, under av-
erage conditions, we would say about
fifty degrees r. The more delicate
cows. under the most artificial con-
ditions. might do better with their
drinking water at higher temper
ature. On the other hand, the cows
that are under the more natural con-
'ditions, or, If you please. that are kept
nearer average conditions, might take
their water at an even lower temper
ature.-Weekly Witness.
