Al feel very dignifiedg so t h walked
ihtQ ;thfr n ettJaor, where, curled up
a lrge chair she soon became ab
sorbed ia her. story.
Mrs. Weeks and Ant Kate, sitting
in the back parlor, never dreamed of
.his, so tbsey talked together very con
'tlwil ally, as mammas and uuntiea
usuahy talk when they consider them
selves qiite.:alone. . It Was not until
Alice ;opped to turn a leaf that she
tot:.ecl .what they were saying, Then
ishohe'i d Aunt Kate say:
"I'wlslh you would let me take Jenny
home with me. ' I will take the entire
care of her clothing for the summer."
"If you will take Alice instead of
Jenny, I will willingly consent,- re
plied Mrs. Weeks, with a sigh Alice
distinctly heard.
Aunt Kate hesitated.
"Alice is a dear little girl," con
tinued .mamma, but she is very wild,
Jenny is a help to ie. I hardly know
what "1 should do without her."
"Well," replied Aunt Kate, not. en.
thusiastioally, "I will take Alice."
Alice left her chair very quietly; but
before she reached the' hall she heard
mamma say:
"She will give you trouble, I fear;
her mending is quite an item in my
week's work. She is very careless."
Alice could hardly control her.gobs
until she reached her room.
"How could mamma say such things
about me? Nobody cares for me.
K.Mamma wants to send me away, and
=fat J.ato don't wAut me. I shall not
go with Aunt Katel"
Alice's tears flowed freely for a
time, but soon her sensible little head
conquered, and she felt that mamma
was right. bihe remembered the new
d oss she tore at school ,the cloak, apron
and stockings that had been mended
only yesterday, and she now knew why
poor mamma sighed. She would go
with Aunt Kate, but she would not
be a trouble.
"I" won't tell mamma now that I
heard' what she said; I'll wait until I
come home, but I'll never, never be a
trouble to her again," declared poni
tent Alice, as she wiped away her
tears.
When Aunt Katie asked her if she
would go home with her and be her
little girie for the summer, Alice gavo
a ready consent.
"You don't seem a bit glad," said
Hal.
"You can't look into my heart," she
said, but her pleasure was lessened by
the thought that she was not her aunt's
choice.
Soon after her arrival at her aunt's
house, Alice one day asked:
"Will you teach me how to mend
- and darn, A unt Kate?"
"Mend and darni Why, yes, child,"
replied her aunt.
"I want to learn to do all kinds of
mending-stockings, boys' clothes
white aprons and everything."
"A very sensible idea. What has
put it Into your little head, my dear?"
asked Aunt Kate, in great surprise.
Then Alice told lher of the conversa
tioni she had overheard.
"I didn't mean to listen, auntie. I
Went otvery soon, blit I think I shalt
n6tEMakeyouso much trouble as
mamma thought," said Alice. tear
fully.
Aunt Katie kissed hEr and called her
a dear child, assuring her that she
would not have liked Jenny better,
and Alice was comforted.
The lessons in mending began im
- mediately. It was very tiresome at
first, but 'Alice soon felt pride in join
ing together suits cut in cotton or
wo(ol for purposes of practice, and it by
chance a rent was made in dress or
apron Alice noted the fact with appar
ent satisfaction.
She en.joyed her summer, and when
she wvent home her aunt sail:
"I am sorry to loose you, my darling;
you have been real comfort to me."
Alian felt sure she. had not beeni a
trouble.
Mamma thought lher little gi
greatly improved by her visit. Theiu
children were wild with delight in lher
return, and A.lice was in danger of
drifting Into her old, thoughtless,
careless habits.
"Mamma," said IIal one morning,
"I've torn my jacket on a nail in the
barn, seal"
The jacket held up for inspection
displayed a rent that drew from
mamma a afgh, as she said:
"Put it on the sawing machine.IIal;
1 will mend it this evening."
IIere was Alice's opportunity. Tak
ing the jacket she went to her own
room, where, with the door safely
locked, she began her task. IIer little
wvork basket, presented by Aunt Kate
and stocked for any emergency, was
there, andl-Alice patibntly matched the
jagged edge?, fastening them with tiny
stitches, sponging and pressing tue
rough seam as Aunt Kate had taught
hear, until dhe felt almost satisfied with
her work.
* "I'm glad it isn't lis very best one,"
said Alice, critically.
When mamma brought the jacket to
the sitting-room that evening, Alice
for a ),nomnent almost regretted liar
wvork.
"Why, where is the rent, IIal?" she
asked. "I- find none."
- 'Ial took the jacket, but was not
more successful than his mother. Mrs.
Weeks ihuily discovered the neat
*mendig wmd with much surprise in
(qnfred who~ had1 anticipated her work.
"It's Aliae's work," cried JIa.
"Lecok at liar, mamma."
Alice hid liar fae~ n mlhar mother's
lap.
"Aunt Kate taught me; I wanted to
sur prise you," she explainied.
"You .have surprIsed us," replied
liar mother, and the prals3 bestowed
upon her work more than satisfied wild
little Alice.
"I want to help you all I can,
mamima, beaside doing my own mend
inig. Aunt Kate says I can be truisted."
"Alice la a great help to me," wrote
Mrs. Weeks to liar sister. "I am
verzy grateful to you for the care you
have given liar."
lhat, Aunt Kate insiated that Alice
g'ave no trouble, and that it was a
* pleasure to teach .one so desirous ol'
learnuing and so patient in mastering
ih lid(etails of such hom?hy work.

crops are growing larger every year, so
s the average quality, and prices have
corresponded with the quality every
season. Growers who sometimes be
coine discouraged should niot overlook
the fact that population and demend
are increasing and that as buyerk become
educated to a knowledge of the best
kinds of produce thy naturally prefer
uch, and are willing to pay more for
it. There is o product for the entire
season greater than eggs, yet with im
portations from europe to assist in
mupplying the markets the prices are al
ways high in proportion to cost, and in
winter vary from 20 to 90 cents per
dozen. It is well known that those
who purchase eggs will leave a well
stocked market In order to procure
sulch 'as may be knoten to be strictly
fresh, and will not hesitate in paying
any price asked; so with milk and
butter, which command ready sale, but
for which no fxed prices are possible
owing to difference ic quality.
Though butter has competed with sub
stitutes and prices have at times been
very low, yet that of frst-grade quality
has always been sold at an advanced
price over the usual market quotation.
There ds no danger of an overstocked
market to the farmer, dairyman or
fruitrower who is willing ,to expend
the labor necesry for the production
of something that is choice and not
easily procured, 1t should be the aim
to send articles to market that are a
little better than those to be had, and
im so doing not only will the best prices
be obtained but the producer will build
a reputation for himself that will be to
his advantage the next season.
A LARGE English farmer says that
his manure which Is taken from the
stables and piled .up under a shed all
winter is worth i the spring four times
as much as that which has been exposed
to the weather. This Is undoubtedly
nearly correct if the exposure be a bad
one, such for example as throwing the
manure out of the stable window and
letting it rest in a ple against the side
of the stable exposed to the rain drip
ping from the roof. In this way most
of the ferilzing salts are drained out
of It Into the earth below the heap or
are washed away in the overflow of the
yard, and the manure is left of little
value.
Twi experience of the closest stu
dents m cairying i that less corn meal
and more comfort in the way of clean,
warm stables, to promote animal beat,
and more bran, oats, etc., are the
cheapest and best cow rations. It we
oxpect the cow to play the double part
of co andtee stelu the corn meal
into her, the more the better, and get
her to the b!ockc as quick as possible, in
order to sell the butter and l'eef at
the same time; but if she is expected
to be a dairy cow treat her like the cow
and mother; reed like a mother, and en
the foods that mothers require, not a
bullock's ration, and we may in time
become dairymen and get dairymen's
profits.
A LAOK of Lpasturage must be sup
plied in the form of some ether kind of
food. If the niumber of cattle be few
and the pasture ild large, with abun
dant growth, hut little grain will be re
quire:1 for growing stock, though milch
cows should be fed all they will eat.
W here the ehttle are compelled to for
age over the pasture a mess of grain
will be required at night in order to
keep them in proper condition and in
crease their.growth.
THE practice of giving a final culti
vation to corn and then allowing the
crop to remain until matured, whether
the field be covered with grass or not,
has in.lured many promising crops. A
field of corn should be cultivated as
often as may be necessary without re
gard to its stage of growth. it should
be kept clean and the soil always in a
loose condition, and the crop will there
by be larger and the plants better en
abled to endure drought.
THEn experiments of Dr. Veeleker,
of the Royal Society of England, prove
that manure gradually depreciates by
keeping, -even under the very best
management, it gains In water and
loses in valuable organic matter which
is spent in the fermantation. It stands
to reason, if this be true, that the old
fashioned method of turning and work
ing over manure for six months before
using is wasteful and to be avoided.
IN contagious foot-rot the following
foot-bathi is excellent: Nitrate of mer
cury, one ounce; nitric acId, five
dIrams; water, three pints. The clean
feet are plunged into this llquid for two
minutes, and then the sheep islet loose.
Two baths of this, at a couple or days
Interval, with a change of pasture from
the Infected one to higher and dry land,
Is generally suficoient to effect a cure in
the majority of cases.
A GREAT many more men can suc
ceed on small than on large farms. In
this latter ease it may be almost said
there is~ no real success, the money
apparently made being generally less
than fair int,erest on the capital inves
ted. This is proved by the fact that
those who try to farm on a large scale
on borrow ad capital are nearly sure to
fail. Men Who try to farm modem :ately
are equally sure of a-moderdte though
substantial succesg.
THmaIs' the season for hatching out
lbantams, as late hatching assists in
dlwarfing them. The most valuable
biantams are those that are very small.
They are profitable, as they lay large
eggs in proportion to their slze, occupy
b ut littie space, and give as good re
I ults in comparison with -cost as the
larger kinds.

When hens are shedding feathers they of
ten stop laying and grow fat. pgt people
consider fat a sign of health., 'Th fatten
ing of moulting hens, howetler as ith.
some people, produces debility rather than
health. avany,of the worst cases of roup
are contracted, while the hns are moulting.
The food of moulting hens,. if largely
vegetable is fat-forming, and not required
for growing - feathers. rherpfore corn-fed
hens get very fat. 'They need more nitro.
gen and phosphate elements in their food
when moulting, which if not supplied they
stop laying, because the growing feathers
have used all, and left no nitrogenous leat
ter to form eggs. At this season, killing
old hens and relying on young pullots is a
great mistake, where people have a few
hens and late pullots. Because, it properly
fed, the hens will have their new plumage
and lay well all winter; while the pullets
unless specially treated may not commence
laying.until spring, when high prices for
eggas have fallen one-half. Again an old
hen's egg will hatch at more vigorous chick
en than a pullet's egg.
John It. Jones, Suffield, Conn., a breeder
of prize winning muottled Javas, says:
"I find Sheridan's Condition Powder, fed Qne
daily in the food, very valuable for moulting hens.
I have used it two years for exhibition birds. It
assists in growinI new Ie-itters,makes the coms
a bright red ani gsves a rich gloss to the laui
age. It vill also make liens lay and the eggs
hatch well. 1 fnd when ihe other egg-foods ae
used in quantities to force egg production the
egas do not hatch."
The above Is the experience of many people in
using Sheritan's Powder. If fo,t to youn pullets
now as diroeted, they will begin to lay be ore six
nontas old. Conumenoe at once using Shoridat'd

Professor R. W. Raymond gave t6
Mrs. Ellen Richards, of the M~assachu
setts Institute .of Technology, some
somewhat broken specimen. of criogo.
nuni ovalifollum which he had exhibi
ted to the institute as a plant growing
in siver ore localhties. Most of them
lhad'rose-colored blossoms. On one or
two the blossoms were yellow. Mrs.
Richards has since reported the inter
esting results of chemical analysis.
In consequence of the views above
suggested as to the possible significance
of color, the pink floweed plants were
treated separately. The specimens
were cleaned as completely as possible
from earth; but this separation could
-not be made perfect, because the earth
adhered in -particles to the woolly
leaves,-as was proved bythe subsequent
-detection in the ash of scales of bro z za
mica. The plants lost 0 per cent, of
moisture on drying at .1000 C., and
yielded 12 per cent. of ash, of whioh
4.8 per cent, was soluble i actd. The
preseunce of arsenic was qualitatively
proved in the plants, and the earth was
found to contain a considerable portion
of it, but silver could not be found.
In the planits with yellow flowers ar
seilic was not found.
An Ausirian paper claims ihat the
first lightningr-rod was constructed by
a monk in Bohaemia. The apparatus
which he set up- In the garden of the
curate of Frenditz in 1762 was com-.
posed of a pole surmounted by an iron
rod st.ipportlng twelve curved up
branches, and terminating in as many
metallic -boxes, Slhod with Iron ore and
ciosed by a boxwcod cover traversed
by twenti)-seven sharp li'on point,
whicli plunged at their base in the ore.
All the system was united to the earth
by a large chain. The enemies of
Diwisch, jealous of his success at the
Court.of Vienna, excited the peasants
of the locallit agemnst him, pnd under
the pl'etext that it was the cause of the
gret dougt teymade him take
dontelgtning-rod which he had
utilised for six years. -What is most
curious is the form of thuis first lightn
ing-rod,-which was of multiple points
like the one which MI. Melsen after..
ward invented.
