When Dale Newman left Rayfield he was all but engaged to Madge. She had every right to believe that their first corre- spondence would continue. It did not. Amid the glare and glitter of the city Newman apparently had forgotten all about his village love-

 "Then he has cast away rare jewel" spoke Violet ''When l see Madge's sad, patient face my only consolation is that he was never wor- thy of her"

 ''Too busy making money to spare us few hours," remarked Walter, and the last fond hope of Madge was extinguished

Life seemed to have brought him its full need. He had pleasant working position, many loyal friends and the home cot was veritable haven of peace.
 Walter was coming home just after dusk one Saturday evening when someone, satchel in hand. stepped from behind tree confronting him.
 "Why, Newman !" exclaimed Wal ter, truly surprised to recognize his long absent friend. He scanned New man curiously. for the latter seemed nervous, anxious, i'll at ease.

Worst Days for ApopIexy.

It is the lethargic, full-blooded, thick and short-necked subject who eats and drinks more than is good for him and who does not take suf- ficient exercise who most frequently falls a victim to apoplectic seizures, according to the New York Medical Journal. Quoting Dr. F. Barlow, 1t says 'the majority of seizures occur on Sunday or Monday, owing probab- ly to the greater indulgence in the joys of the table on the day of rest and the slight increase in excitement conse- quent on the return to business.'
 Pig eaters and cocoa drinkers are just as liable to it as heavy drinkers. "Alcohol is frequently made the scape- goat for an attack of this character, when really excessive eating is to blame."
 It is easier to prevent than to cure apopleXy. Moderation in eating and drinking and regular action of the bowels are the very best preventives.

MOVING NATAL GRASS
Harvesting Should Begin as Soon
 as Seeds Begin to Ripen.
Unnecessary Length of Exposure Bleaches Hay and Makes 1t Less Palatable and Nutritious
 Best Time for Cutting.
CBv S M TRACY)


 The moving of natal grass should begin as soon as a considerable part of the seed begins to ripen. If the weather should be unfavorable at that time it can stand several days with out great injury, as it is making q continuous growth of new shoots. When the cutting is delayed too long the quality of the hay is injured by the shattering of the seeds and by the drying-up and breaking-off of the older stems. The greatest loss from delaying the cuttings too long is the consequent postponement of the sub sequent cuttings. To secure the great est yield during the year and to make hay of the highest quality, all of the earlier cuttings should be made as soon as the grass is in proper condi- tion, though the last cutting may be delayed until a few days before frost is expected, as the grass is growing rapidly at that time and the late cut ting insures a good supply of seed on the ground for the following spring.
 The grass dries so quickly that it should be allowed to lie on the ground only short time. Unnecessarily long exposure bleaches the hay and makes 1t less palatable, less nutritious, and less salable. The best hay is that which is cured in the shortest time and with the least exposure to the weather. Exposure to rain bleaches and iniures the hay seriously, and even exposure to heavy dew deadens the color and makes the hay less at

 ally be reasonably sure of the weatn- CT several hours in advance and choose time for cutting when the hay can at least be cured sufficiently to put it in the cock before it Is wet by rain or dew.
 When the weather is favorable for curing, 1t is best to now in the morn ing, from the time the dew is off until noon, and then windrow and cock in the afternoon. The hay should remain in the cock until thoroughly field cured. The time required for this field curing will depend on the condition of the weather. If very favorable it may be safe to haul it to the barn after it has been in the cocks 36 to 4s hours, but il longer time is often neces- sary.
 Field curing may be regarded as completed when the stems 2e so dry that they will break when small wisp of hay is twisted tightly, when it does not feel cool if pressed to the cheek, and when stirring 1t slightly produces a slight rustic.
 When conditions are unfavorable i for drying, as in rainy, cool or cloudy weather, the field curing requires a much longer time and is often unsat- isfactory.
 With all the judgment which the grower may use, some hay will occa- sionally be caught by rain, and it then requires special care to cure it thor 1 oughly. If it rains on the hay soon after it is cut little harm will be done but the injury will be greater if the rain comes after it is partially dry. If the dry or even partly dry hay be wet with rain, 1t should not be touched un- iii the surface has become thoroughly dry. If it is still in the swath it will need no attention unless the crop is very heavy. when it should be tedded or turned with fork If in the wind row or cock it should be opened and spread as soon as the outside has be. come well dried.
 Much field injury from rain may be prevented by the use of hay caps for covering the cocks These caps are made in various styles, but the one most generally liked is piece of heavy cotton cloth four to five feet square, with pin of heavy wire foot in length fastened to each corner When the cap is put in place and the pins are pushed into the cock to pre- vent it frtm being blown off, the hay will stfnd heavy rain with very little injury. The hay should not be put into the barn or the stack until it is so dry that there will be no danger from heating and molding, and when the weather is not very warm and dry il is not safe to bale it until at least q week after it Is cut. In case ii must be taken to the barn, while still slight. | ly damp, dressing of salt, about five

pounds per ton, or slight sprinkling of freshly slaked lime will aid in it's preservation.
 The field curing should be as thor ough as the weather will permit, after which the hay should be hauled to the barn and the final curing completed there.
 At present q large part of the natal grass hay is put in stacks when hauled from the field. In many cases this cannot be avoided, but it is much safer to store it in barn or under a shed. When stacked. there is always consid- erable loss from teaching and bleach ing on the outside of the stack, loss which may be almost wholly prevent ed when the hay is protected from the weather The sweating and final cur ing are much more even when com pleted in a mow, and so better quail ity Of hay is secured than is possible from an exposed stack.
 The hay should remain in the mow until it goes through sweat, as this develops sweeter aroma in the hay and makes 1t safe from heating and holding in the bale. The degree of heat developed in this sweating will depend very largely on the amount of moisture in the hay. If the hay is put in the mow before it is we'll air-cured, the heat may be excessive and the hay diScolored. If 1t is only moderately Drowned its actual value is injured very little, though the hay is less read fly salable.
 While it may appear dry and well cured there is almost sure tN be mois- ure left in some of the stems, espe- cially in the joints. This moisture is often sufficient to cause heating in the bale, and when the hay reaches the market 1t will be found so damaged as to be classed as of very low grade.

Madge sat listening intently, her eyes fixed on vacancy, her beautiful soul expressed in her lovely face. Never had Walter seen her look more attractive. The man beside him must have shared the conception, for abruptly he arose to his feet. He uttered almost savage groan, like being in pain, yet Walter caught the gleam of tears in his eyes.

 This man was deeply affected. Wal ter. who comprehended the full situa- tion, half whispered in the ear of his companion.
 "The love of woman like Madge never changes"
