What must not this lovely Lady Inlay here sufferel-she wine had loved blra well? She took the white, jeweled hand In her own. "I am very sorry that it has hap- pened," she said; "sorry for it ell." .

"Are you sending me back to France." site a.sked, "beelinse you want to :see him again? -because you want to talk to him?" "If you think that," said Lady May, quickly, "do not go; I have but one code of honor; it does not include false speaking." "Forgive me," said Daisy. "I think, after all I have endured, that I should be suspicious even of an angel." "You shall not be suspicious of me." said Lady afay, with a faint, sad smile. "I was just going to tell you that I shall send a message by you to your husband -a message of farewell; and that, after this, I shall never see inm again." Daisy looked up inceedulonsly. "Never see him again! I thought tiha.t you said you would be our friend?" "Not now; if I had known at first of this marriage, it would have been dif- ferent; now there is nothing for us but eternal separation." "But why?" asked Daisy; "I do understand." Lady May smiled agaim. "I will tell you why, Daisy. We are friends -I may trust you, you will not betray me; I say that I shall part etern- ally from your husband, and that, after to -day, I shall never see item again. 'You ask why, Deist, and I tell you frankly; I have loved your husband, more or less, all nay life -that is, since I was old enough to love.

The dairy cow must then be spare, depleted of all superilous liesh, in order to -be an economical and persietent ranker. In designing this score card, via have adopted the suggestion of the editor of The Dalryraan of dividing a cow into three portions by drawing two perpen- dioular lines, one just behind the wint- ers, and one In front of the udder. To the front portioa assign 18 points; to the middle, 20 paints; to the rear, 84 points, and in addition we allow 83 points for indications of a persistent milker. Many dairymen are excellent judges of dairy cows. My father used to think be could go into a neighbor's herd and pick out bis best oow. I believe he could do tbis, but I lain equally sure he never taught in. the sem et. nor was the gift inherited. This score oard is an attempt to give expression to our common knowl- edge of the dairy OM. and put in teach- able form our knowledge of the structur- al points.

I Would put the plant foga back into the soll and rurn it into something tbat would bring more doilers and take lose fertility off the farm. It Is neerly always best to feed nen the Mover hay, saving all the ,e naanuro from Iota, and. then put the manure back on the land. Wisely mile- age& one oueht to be able to get 84 a ton out of it by feeding eiertninly, and then be would have three-fourths of the manurial value at least left in the man- ure, If all farmers would deal with these matters from a onsinesa standpoint the price of hay would soon be up where it should be, Of course towns and cities must have hay, but they ought not to have it at a price that makes tbe farmer work for nothing and board himself. Surely no eastern farmer ouglat to sell hay at any such prices as given above. Yeti can do a great deal better. And you must, or see harder and border times.. , Muth of the land in tbe east has got to the point where the owner must consider what he is selling off, as it has to be put bao'k.. Feed out Urn hay, unless tbe price Is very bigh, the clover in particular. Save all the urine by having a cement floor. Don't int the manure heat or leach in the yard. Thus you will save all the nitrogen and potash, and then you can buy some prosphorio acid, which is cheap, if needed. -T. B. Terry, In Practio4 Farmer. Ridding Buildings of Fleas. A writer in The Practical Farmer gives the following method of ridding build- ings of fleas: When I was a boy, father's place became infested with fleas from pigs sleeping at the barn, and they nearly drove me crazy. I heard in some way tbat salt would kill them. I suppose I used is peak of salt, aoattering it freely about the barn and house, and at the ex- piration of a week we could not tell that is flea had ever been on the place. All gene. Since then I bage cleared our Immo of them several times. One appli- cation always does the work. Watch Tour Dairy cows.

The illustration explains the form of our grain rack for turning short The '1F• 'Wed& la beams are made closer together at the front end so the wheels ean turn under the load without locking, allowing us to turn as short as wheat the bed is on. A 2x4 scantling is lifted on the rack In front, which just fits the standards to hold the rack in place, The front cornere are rounded to keep from hitting the horse in going down hill. -Benjamin Williams, in Practiaal Farming. Don't Beep Fleecesbyer Long. Something is very often lost by keep - Ing the fleeces over too long. Wool dries quickly and then becomes berth to the hand, and thus loses something in selling value. It becomes weak and loses ha eative elasticity, and thin is another detriment. It is the moisture in it which gives strength to the fibre, and for them reasons the place and method of storing. :Would be neither dry nor wet, but 000l and will aired and is little don*.
