HOW TO GROW HoRsERADISH
Crop Is Cut in Fall, Small Roots Re.
moved and Arranged Into Sets
Four to Six Inches Long.

Horseradish is commonly grown
from sets, and not from seed. Some
claim they have best success growing
it as a second crop after the early
cabbage, beets, etc. The crop is dug
in the fall, the small roots removed
and cut into sets four to six inches
long.
The top end is cut square and the
bottom slanting, SO as to make no
mistake in planting. These are tied
in bundles and kept over winter in
sand.
In the spring, after the cabbages
are set out, row Of horseradlsh is
set in between the cabbage rows.
Small holes are made with a light
o-owbar or long stick and the sets
dropped In and covered two or three
inches deep, so that they do not come
up until July first.
Any deep, rich soil, well drained,
VIII answer for horseradish.

GRADING AND SORTING EGGS
Every Year There Is Loss Of Millions
OF Dollars In Product Because OF
Haphazard Methods.
NV M. HAsTINGs.)


Eggs are among the most difficult
OF food products to grade. This is be.
cause each egg must be considered
separately, and because the actual
substance of an egg cannot be ex-
amined without destroying the egg.
From external appearance, eggs can
be selected for size, color, cleanliness
of shell and feedom from cracks.
This ie the cons orSmethod OF grading
in early spring when the eggs are uni
formly Of good quality. Later in the
season the egg candle Is used. While
any kind of light may be used, 16-
candlepower electric lamp is the most
desirable. The light is inclosed in a
box or tin cylinder, in which are made

Fruit and poultry raising go we'll to-
gether.
Every owner Of a colt should look
well to the care Of the feet.
Selling the choicest of the wheat is
poor way to select seed grain.
Bees wintered out of doors should
be where the sun will shine on the
hive.
Bad shoeing causes many horses to
travel badly, but shoeing is not wholly
to blame.
Late chickens sometimes do very
well, but they require more care than
early ones.
The poultry that is having the run
Of the orchard now is serving well
their day and generation.
The foal that is being weaned
should be watered twice each day.
Horses of all ages must be watered
frequently and regularly If they are
to do well.
Before the snow falls, It is good
plan to go through the orchard, and
with a coarse rake, gather up all dis
eased or rotten apples or other fruit
left on the ground, and destroy them.
In planting fruit trees for family
use, select the varieties that appeal
to the palate of the home folks, but
for the markets select those varieties
that keep best, and are in greatest
demand

Using rough stones as filler in solid
concrete construction is similar to
laying brick or stone in mortar. The
only difference is that forms are
used, and that the stones are all hid

him. Mon Dleu, but 1t would be no
sin to kill one with mouth like
that!"
Philip was conscious of the hot
blood rushing to his face as he bent
over his bunk. The depths of Pier
rots faith shamed him, and ho
crawled silently between the blankets
and turned his face to the wall.
Pierrot extinguished the light. and a
little later Philip could hear his deep
breathing. But sleep refused to close
his own eyes, and he lay on his back,
painfully awake. In spite of tho
resolution he had made to think no
more of the woman at Lac Balm. his
mind swept him back to her ire
sistibly. At last he rose silently
from his bunk, filled his pipe ,and sat
down in the darkness beside the
stove. The storm had increased to .
gale, wailing and moaning over the
cabin outside, and the sound carried
him back to the last night in the
cabin far to the south, when he had
destroyed the hyacinth-scented letter.
The thought of the letter moved him
restlessly He listened to Pierrot's
breathing, and knew that the half
breed was asleep. Then he rose to
his feet and laid his pipe on the
table. A curious feeling of guilt
came over him as he moved toward
the box in which Jacques had placed
the silken scarf. His breath came
quickly; in the dark his eyes shone:
a tingling thrill of strange pleasure
shot through him as his fingers
touched the thing for which they
were searching. He drew the scarf
out, and returned to the stove with II,
crushing It in both his hands. The
sweetness of 1t came to him again
like the woman's breath. 1t was the
sweetness of her hair, Of the golden
coils massed in the freight; part
Of the woman herself, of her glorious
eyes, her lips, her face. His heart
seemed bursting with new and ter
rible pain, and the truth at last
seemed to rise and choke him. He
loved her. He loved her as he had
never dreamed that he could love q
woman, and with the scarf still
smothering his lips and face he stood
for many minutes, silent and motion
less, gathering himself slowly from
out of the appalling depths into
which he had allowed himself to
plunge.
Then he folded the scarf, and in
stead of returning 1t to the box, put
It in one Of the pockets of his coat
"Pierrot won't care" he excused
himself "And it's the only thing,
little girl-the only thing-Ill ever
have-of you"

M'sieur, II could send you down to
the woman who helped to kill you"
He stopped, and his eyes leaped
with sudden fire. "By George!"
he exclaimed, under his breath. His
pipe went out; for many minutes he
stared with set face at the skull, as
II it had spoken to him and Its voice
had transfixed him where he stood
Then he tossed his pipe upon the
table, collected his service equip
ment and strapped 1t in his pack
After that he returned to the table
with pad of paper and a pencil and
sat down. His face was strangely
white as he took the skull in his
hands.
It'll do 1t, 80 help me all the gods,
I'll do I'll" he breathed ,excitedly.
"M'sieur. a woman killed you-as
much as Bucky Nome, woman did
II. You couldn't do her any good
but you might-another. I'm going
10 send you to her, M'sieur You're
q terrible lesson, and may be
beast; but you're preaching pow
erful sermon, and guess-perhaps-
you may do her good. I'll tell her
your story, old man, and the story of
the woman who made you so nice
and white and clean. Perhaps she'll
see the moral, M'sieur. Eth? Per-
haps!"
For long time he wrote, and
when he had done he sealed the
writing, put the envelope and the
skull together in box, and tied the
whole with babiche string. On the
outside he fastened another note to
Breed, the factor, in which he ex-
planned that he and Bucky Nome had
found 1t necessary to leave that very
night for the West, And he heavily
underscored the lines in which he di-
rected the factor to see that the box
was delivered to Mrs. Colonel Becker,
and that, as he valued the honor and
the friendship of the service, and es-
pecially of Philip steele, all knowl-
edge of it should be kept from the
colonel himself.
1t was eight o'clock when he went
out into the night with his pack
upon his back. He grunted approval
when he found it was showing, for
the track of himself and Nome would
be covered. He moved silently away,
and turned his face into the thin
trail that buried itself in the black
forests of the West

it will be fine travelling. Eh-you
have not heard? l wonder why they
are firing guns off toward Lac Bain!"
Philip jumped from his bed, and
his first look was in the direction OF
the box. He was criminal enough to
hope that Jacques would not discover
that the scarf was missing.
"a moose-probably," he said.
There were tracks close up to the
post a day or two ago."
He was anxious 20 begin their
journey, and ass!sted Pierrot in pre-
pairing breakfast. The sound of guns
impressed upon him the possibility
of some one from Lac Balm calling
at the half-breed's cabin, and he
wished to avoid further association
with people from the postal least
for time. At nine o'clock Pierrot
bolted the door ana the two set Off
into the south and west. On the
third day they swung to the east
ward to strike the Indians living
along Reindeer Lake, and on tho
sixth cut a trail by compass straight
for Nelson House. A week later
they arrived at the post, and Philip
found a letter awaiting him calling
him to Prince Albert. In way the.
summons was a relief to him. He
bade Pierrot good-by, and set out
for LIE Ras in company with two In
dians. From that point he took the
work train to Etomami land three
hours later was in Prince Albert.
REST up for a time, Steele" In
spector MacGregor told him, after
he had made a personal report on
Bucky Nome.
During the week that followed
Philip had plenty of leisure in which
to tell himself that he was fool,
and that he was deliberately throw
ing away what a munificent fortune
had placed in his hands. Mao
Gregor's announcement that he was
in line for promotion in the near fu-
ture did not stir him as 1t would have
done a few weeks before. In his lit
tie barracks room he laughed ironi-
cally as he recalled MacGregor's
words:
"We're going to make a corporal
OF sergeant of you"
He-Philip Steele-millionaire, club
man, son of western king of finance
"a corporal or a sergeant! For the
first time the thought amused him,
and then it maddened him. He had
played the part of an idiot, and all
because there had been born within
him love of adventure and the big,
free life of the open. No wonder
some of his old club friends regarded
Eim as scapegrace and ne'er-do-
we'll. He was glad when word was
sent to him that Inspector MacGregor
wished to see him in his office. The
hig inspector was pacing back and
forth when Philip entered:
"Sit down. Steele. sit down." he
said. Have a cigar"

he left Lac Balm behind him. Half
mile from the post he stopped under
shelter of dense spruce, and stood
listening as there came to him faint
ly the distant bowling of a dog. After
all, had he done right? He laughed
harshly and his hands clenched as
he thought of Bucky Nome. He had
done right by him. But the skull
Mrs. Becker-was that right?
Like flash there came to him out
Of the darkness a picture of the
scere beside the fire-of Mrs. Becker
and the colonel. of the woman's gol-
den head resting on her husbands
shoulder, her sweet blue eyes filled
with all the truth and glory of wom-
anhood as she had looked up into his
grizzled face.
And then there took its place the
scene beside the fire in the factors
room. He saw the woman's flushed
cheeks as she listened to the low
voice of Bucky Nome, he saw again,
what looked like yielding softness in
her eyes-the grayish pallor in the
colonel's face as he had looked upon
the Irritation. Yes, he had done
right. She had recovered herself in
time, but she had taken a little bit
Of life from the colonel, and from
him. She had broken his ideal-the'
ideal he hal always hoped for, and
had sought for, but had never found,
and he told himself that now she was
no better than the girl of the hya-
cinth letter, whose golden beauty and
eyes as clear as an angels had con-
cealed this same deceit that wrecked
white skull and the story of how and
why Msieur Janette had died would
not be too great a punishment for
her
He resumed his journey, striving
to concentrate his, mind on other
things. Seven or eight miles to the
south and west was the cabin of
jacques Pierrot, half-breed, who
had sledge and dogs. He would
hire jacques to accompany him on
ulb potiots AL piuSC Vi buChy INoilics
Then he would return to Nelson
House and send in his report of
Bucky Nome's desertion, since he
knew we'll enough after the final re-
marks of that gentleman that he did
not intend to sever his connection
with the Northwest Mounted in the
regular way. After that-he shrug-
ged his shoulders as he thought of
the fourteen months of service still
ahead of him. Until now his adven.
ture as member of the Royal
Mounted had not grown monotonous
for an hour. Excitement, action,
fighting against odds. had been the
spice of life to him, and he strug.
gled to throw off the change that
had taken hold of him the moment
he had opened the hyacinth.scented
letter of Mrs, Becker.
you're fool" he argued. you're
as big a fool as Bucky Nome. My
God = you-Philip Steele-letting a
married woman upset you like this!"
1t was near midnight when he
came to Pierrot's cabin, hut light
was still burning in the half-breed's 8
log home. Philip kicked off his snow
shoes and knocked at the door. In
moment Pierrot opened it, stepped
back. and stared at the white figure
