TOOLS FOR A GARDEN
Implements Are Demanded for
Proper Cultivation.
OId-Fashioned Hoe and Rake VIII Not
supply All the Needs OF the uP-to-

Ones Are illustrated.
By 6. s. MILLER.)

The growing of vegetables and fruit
has become so important that inn
proved tools are now demanded for
proper cultivation. In order to get
the very best results cultivation must
be carried to the limit and the old
fashioned hoe and rake will not sup
ply all the needs of the up-to-date
gardener.
Those shown in the accompanying
picture are all extremely useful, and
as they cost but trifie nobody who
expects to do the best work in a gar
den can afford to be without them.
No. is the hoe, and is remarkable
for the great number Of uses to which
it can be put in both field and garden.
No. is especially useful for cover

No. 8 is combined hoe and rake
and enables the operator to do either
hoeing or raking without laying aside
one tool and taking up the other.

Looking to the Pedluree.

Look at the pedigree of the stallion
you patronize, and if it is not issued
by one of the recognized registry as
sociations don't use that horse. Many
farmers will contend that a grade
horse that is good locker is just as
good for a sire as pure-bred, and
expense is much lighter.
Some of the handsomest, soundest
and most perfect horses are grades,
and, while they are splendid animals
for use, they are unsuitable to breed
to. Every grade has yellow streak
in him, and this is just as likely to
show as his good qualities.

SUPPLEMENT- TO A PASTURE

pasture may be fed in the pasture or
In the barn lot but as a rule are fed
most economically In the barn. The
cows remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions
AS q rule the most economical
method of supplying feed to help out
the short pastures of midsummer and
fall is to feed corn silage. Silage viii
keep in good condition for summer
feeding with no loss except on the
surface. II 1t is not needed during
the summer, 1t may be covered with
the new silage and kept until wanted.
Corn furnishes a larger yield OF dry
matter per acre than any crop that
can be ordinarily grown for summer
feeding, and has the further advan-
tage of being on hand as early as
wanted.
1t is handled more economically also
than soiling crops since it is cut all
at once and not every day as is neces.
sary with soiling crops.
1t should be remembered that 1t is
only possible to feed bunch Of cows
economically when they are fed as
individuals and not as a herd. A
too common practice, even in the
otherwise well conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
Of grain, regardless OF the time they
have been in milk or the quantity OF
milk the individual cows are produc-
ing. Such feeding always lacks econ
omy, as the high producing cow does
not get enough, and while she may
milk very well for time, she soon
comes down to lower level. while
the lighter producing COW usually
gets too much feed and accumulates
fat.

with a semicircle of faces round the
blazing logs.
On the afternoon of the sixth day
Dominick made his first appearance
down stairs. He achieved the descent
with slow painfulness. hobbling be-
tween Perley and the doctor. The for
mer's bath-robe had been cast aside
for a dignified dark-brown dressing
gown, contributed to his wardrobe by
Cannon, and which, cut to fit the burly
proportions of the Bonanza King,
hung around the long, lank form Of
the young man in enveloping folds.
The parlor was empty, save for Miss
Cannon sitting before the fire. Dom
mick had ceased to feel bashfulness
and constraint in the presence of this
girl, who had been pushed-against
his will II not against her own-into
the position of his head attendant.
The afternoon when they had sat to-
gether In his room seemed to have
brushed away all his shyness and self
consciousness. He thought now that
It would be difficult to retain either in
intercourse with a being who was SO
candid, so spontaneous, SO freshly nat
ural. He found himself treating her
as IL she were a young boy with whom
he had been placed on sudden foot
ing of careless. CHEEKY intimacy. But
her outward seeming-what she pre-
scented to the eye-was not in the
least boyish. Her pale. Opaque blond
ness, her fine, rich outlines. her soft
ness of mien, were things as complete
ly and graciously feminine as the
most epicurean admirer of women
could have wished.
Now, at the sight Of her bending
over the fire, he experienced sensa-
ton of pleasure which vaguely sur
prised him. He was hardly conscious
that all the time he had been dressing
and while he came down stairs he
had been hoping that she would be
there. He sent quick glance ahead

artificial laughter behind her.
For the next week she waited for
news from Dominick and none came.
1t was trying seven days. Added
to her embarrassment of mind. the
loneliness of the fat was almost un-
endurable. There was no one to speak
to. no one to share her anxieties. Her
position was unusually friendless.
When her marriage had lifted her
from the ranks of working women she
had shown 80 cold face to her old
companions that they had dropped
away from her. realizing that she
wished to cut all ties with the world
of her humble beginnings. New friends
had been hard to make. The wives
Of some Of the bank officials, and odd.
aspiring applicants for such honors
as would accrue from even this re-
mote connection with the august name
Of Ryan, were all she had found where
with to make a circle and visiting
list.
But she was intimate with none of
them and was now too worried to seek
the society Of mere acquaintances.
She ate her solitary meals in oppres-
sive silence. feeling the Chinaman's
eyes fixed upon her in ironic disbe-
lief of the story she had told him to
account for Dominick's absence. Eat
as slowly as she would. her dinner
could not be made to occupy more

was a great reader of newspapers.
and when she returned from her after
noon shopping she brought bundle
Of evening papers home in her hand.
She would read these slowly, at first
the important items. then go over
them for matters Of less moment. and
finally scan the advertisements.
At the end Of the week she felt that
she must find out something. and went
to the bank. 1t was her intention to
cash a small check and over this
transaction see If the paying teller
would vouchsafe any Information
