Sage can be picked as soon as the

I do not think a man with one

You should expect to cultivate at
least ten to twenty acres in addi-
ton. This land should be devoted
to corn and other grain crops which
will help provide the necessary con-
centrates for your hogs, for your
mule, and a cow or two which you
should keep on your place as well.
In. your situation we would not
be disposed to extend the farming
operations materially, therefore, un-

pleasure into her life, ) there was
Dick, too, to be considered. Isolated
as he was on his plains, and seeing
Jean daily, knowing her thoughts
and sensing the sweetness of her,
and with that nagging certainty in
his heart that she was not happy, a
vague plan was beginning to take
for min Dicks mind.
AS yet the plan was very hazy,
but 1t had something to do with
bringing Jean happiness, of taking
her away from all this, of playing
the knight errant to princess in
distress. AS yet Dicks thoughts
were not personal, but one day when
they were riding together, Jean sud-
denly suggested that they race to a
certain tree that doomed up stark
and dead on the rorizen.
He reached the goal first, ana
refining up, waited flushed and
laughing, for her to come up to him.
"A forfeit" he called laughingly,
"a forfeit for the delinquent one"
All right Jean returned merri-
ly, what shall it be?"
He looked at her suddenly, and
saw her in a different light. She
was not the Jean of long, happy
rides, and careless badtnage, she
was a woman, and a woman very
sweet and desirable. He looked at
her mouth, sweet and proud, and her
eyes, gray as the sea under curved
brows and heavy lashes. Suddenly
he thought of how sweet it would
be to hold her close in his arms,
and a madness was in his blood.
"A kiss he said and his voice
was hardly audible.
Into jeans eyes there flashed a
hint of something like fear, but. it
was gone in an instant.
She held out her hand like a
princess turning the seriousness of
his request into a joke.
Very well, my lord" she Knocked.
you may salute your queen"
1t was her very unconsciousness
of what had been in his thoughts
that brought Dick to a realization
OF himself, and he took the little
hand humbly, bending his crisp
blonde head over the slim fingers
and touching them lightly with his
lips.
But the quick desire that had
leaped into his heart could not be
downed SO quickly and with such
ease. He thought Of Jean constant
~. and his thoughts were personal
now. If he had seen her happy
with her husband, he would not
nave dreamed Of having her for
himself. but with the conviction that
she was not happy had come the
impulse to watch her when Mark
was present. He saw that she never
addressed any remark directly to
him and that she avoided his ewes
whenever 1t was possible

a Letter From Parkway Ru1nania
Being so fortunate as to have an
interesting and obliging neighbor-
whose husband was selected as
ago for Bucharest, capital Of the
kingdom of Rumania, was very de-
lighted to receive a letter from TINS
charming neighbor, who is enjoying
tho trip and sojourn abroad, and who
is also a splendid letter writer.
The letter was written on May 81
and made it's way to, me, on July Z:
it could speak Of its travel as an in
dividual. 1t has on it two foreign
stamps-likely the picture OF the
reigning king Of that country, IS the
imprint on the stamps.
1t was placed in an official pouch
and most likely the pouch also con-
tanned reports and letters from the
consul to the secretary Of state in
Washington city. Our Country Home
readers understand that all foreign
letters, reports, dispatches, etc, go
through the offices Of the secretary
of state, Hon. Charles e. Hughes
who was selected by President Har-

ton.
This letter from Bucharest, was
stamped in Washington city on its
arrival there. with the following in
scription on the envelope:

This article was originally mailed
in country indicated by postage.

Corning Beef in the Summer
S. w. J.. Chattahoochee. Fla.
writes: Is. there a successful
way to pickle beef? If so, please
tell me how it is done.
Beef can. of course. be picked
successfully. AS a rule it Is best
to do work of this character in the
cool weather. To make corned beef
one should proceed as follows: Select
the meat primarily from the rump
or Drlsket. Other cheap cuts can be
used. The pieces should be cut into
sections about six inches square. 1t
Is or the utmost Importance that the
meat be thoroughly cooled before the
corning process begins. 1t should
not be frozen. however. There is d
great difference between the COM
plete. chilling of the meat and freez-
ing it. Take s pounds of salt for
each 100 pounds of meat you expect
to corn. First place a layer of the
meat, at least one-fourth inch deep
on the bottom of the container. AS
a rule a good tight. clean barrel
should be selected for this purpose.
Proceed to put in alternate layers
of salt and meat. reserving enough
salt to cover the top layer. This
should be allowed to stand over night
in a cool place. Then add for each
100 pounds Of beef pounds of
~ y" II SuSdAS = OdllSCS OeIhAAlS SOOA'
and ounces salt peter. Dissolve in
one gallon of lukewarm water. The
meat must be weighted down so as
to keep all of it under the brine.
The water used for making the
brine should be boiled very thorough
1y and then cooled. 1t is difficult to
corn beef in warm weather. so the
utmost cleanliness and circumspec-
ton must be exercised In handling
1t. Examine the meat each day. If
there is any evidence of the brine
becoming sour or ropy it should be
drawn off Immediately and new
brine provided. 1t takes from 70 to
20 days to corn beef satisfactorily.
Treating Q Horse with Tender

it is almost impossible to keep

and it is IA inches high. When
should it be picked?
The feet of some horses are very
tender and it is difficult matter on
that account to handle them salts
factorily. A horse with feet of the
character you mention should be al
lowed as much freedom of the pas
ture as possible and kept in stall
