That the best results may be obtained from the use of rye es a green for- age crop, harvesting should begin as soon as the plant begins to head. At this period, the tromp is very succu- lent, palatable and highly digestible, and in the first feedings smaller amounts should be used than are suffic- ient to supply the entire needs of the animal. If the plant is left untll it is fully headed out before beginning to cut, at which period perhaps the largest total amount of food would be ob- tained, the time during which the crop may be used would be very much shortened, and the usefulness of the crop, either as a source of all of the succulent food or for the purpose of supplementing pastures; would be very materially reduced, says Dr. E. B. Voorhees. Under average conditions, when the practice outlined hero is followed, rye may serve to supply the herd with a palatable food for from 10 to 20 days, the period 'depending upon the method of seeding and the ciraraoter of the sea- son. If it is desirable to have a long period of feeding, then the crop should be seeded at different times. The first seeding should be made in the middle states in August, and the second seed - fag may be made as late as the middle of September, or October. This later seeding wilt make a much less vigorous growth in the fall, will start later in spring, and will be ready for feeding from a weals to ten days after that from the first seeding is ready, and which has been stimulated as : - out- lined. When seeded primarily for for- age, the amount of seed used should the relatively greater than when used for grain, usually two bushels per acre. COMPOSITION AND AMOUNT TO FEED. • If used when in best condition for forage, rye contains a high content of water, or an average of only about 18 per cent. dry matter. In this stage of growth, the content of nitrogenous matter is relatively large, though it is not entirely organized into albumin- oids. As it increases in maturity, the dry matter increases and the crude eddeeatbro toed nitrogen -free extract increas- ea mucti &pore rapidly relatively than the nitrogenous compounds and the nutritive ratio is widened. A yield of seven tons, would, there- fore, furnish about ldatons dry matter, which would contain about three hun- dred pounds protein, and nearly one fon carbohydrates, including fibre, to- tac protein practically equivalent to that contained in one ton wheat bran and carbohydrates equivalent to that containednearly in ea y two tons, though with a rate of digestibility much high- er than for the bran. The relatively large yield of nutrients together with the fact that it may be obtained with- out larger expense, and without inter- fering with the . growing of other crops he same season„ nmeke rye a crop wor- thy of consideration. It is desirable in the beginning, and when the plant is . in such an immature state, to .feed: about one -hail the quan- tity that the animals usually require, P. pounds per day, and by the third fay increase it to 50 to 60 pounds for R 1000 -pound cow; 60 pounds will sup- ply about ten pounds of dry'enatter, or nearly one-half of the total required in e dairy ration for a cow in full flow of milk. Larger amounts are often fed,. though not usually to good advantage. Dairy animals are very fond of green rye, and 'its feeding will always result Ire. an Increase In the flow of milk, duo both to its sucoutence and to the fact that at the right stage of growth for soiling, it is very well balanced in Its proportfons of nutrients. - THE YIELD PER ACRE, even under good methods of manage- ment, wilI vary widely according to tilleraeter of soil and season. The range tial' been shown to be from four to iweivo tons per acre. In the expert- relents at the New Jersey station, the average yield for seven years has been seven tons per acre, at a cost for seed. • ing and fertilizing of apout $5.50, mak- Ing the crop one of the cheapest el those used for soiling, Where the conditions are not favor- able for soiling, rye makes en excellent pasture, and fcwfiile but from ono -third one. -half .as much food is obtained as from soiling, it can be used through a longer period, provided itis not pie - lured too closely in its early growth, fins is a favorite ' method of utilizing' I rye in .many dairy districts, and the ere!) servos a most excellent .purpose :s a source of food, as well as to protect the regular pastures from injury from too early use. If weather conditions aro favorable later, a light, early pas- turing will not t.,etiously . interfere with the maturing of e grain crop. Another. adv,antege of the use of rye, witloh should not belost sight of, is its useful - loess as a Cover crop, not only absorb- ingg and bolding plant food, but prevent- ing the waste of soil by washing or blowing. It can be seeded later in the tall than almost any other crop, efxd starts meter in the spring than Most ottrers.

Coddling is as pernicious in the poul- try yard as in the family. A coddled bird Is as prone to disease as a neglect- ed one, perhaps even more so,, because the latter may develop a certain degree of self-reliance which the former does not. Common sense and coddling are sworn enemies. Whether the egg or the hen, Is first is of small consequence provided the stock m pure and the strain good. It is a. matter of opportunity or preference whe- ther a poultry raiser shall hug birds or epgs for hatching. The main point is to get one or the other so as to supplant poor stock or lmprovo the present t.nrk. Cement afterthoughts with fresh fore- thought when laying the foundation for a new poultry venture. Both can be se- cured from experienoo either personal or borrowed and both are always In de- mand. Nothing pays .better fore and aft than good thoughts. No poultry raiser need know anything about poultry ailments if he will secure comfort, ventilation and strict sanita- tion. The old method is safe when followed. properly; so is the new. It is the mix- ture of the two that plays havoc in the poultry yard. Hardiness is natural to fowls and contagion is unnatural. This is proved by good poultrymen; a sick fowl with. them is about as scarce as hen's teeth. If one does appear they look for and de- stroy the cause, which is generally filth, leek of sun or ventilation, or bad breed- ing. . Remove the cause of any poultry alio ment that appears. Look beyond con- tagion, microbes, bacteria, and their like.. hen the cause is not bad judg- ment in breeding it is in the manage - merit. Most likely filth or lack of sun er: ventilation. When they are correct- ed the aliment will disappear. 1 A $5,000,000 HOUSE. What would it feel like—being neither an Arabian Nights potentate nor a Rus- sian Grand Duke, but just a common millionaire and American senator—to live in a house which had cost $5,000,000 to build. This is at the very lowest the bill for the palace which Senator Clark is causing to be erected in New York for his young wife. And the architect estimates that at least another million . will have to be spent on hangings, rugs, brie-a-brae—in short, "fixin's." All Run Down S is a common rages• si4n we hear on every side.

A quarter of an hour later Guildfo. Berton was walking towards his co tage. He was burning hot, as 11 wit fever, and he took off his bat and let tl Cold evening air blow upon his. parolee forehead. Th love o of a bad raga, we are told b on L of e those philosophers o hers vh seem t p p who u know everything, is very near aloin ' halo, and at that moment Guildford Ber- ton was not quite sure whether he loved or hated Norah most, rd t - h YC d consciousness that he had been awak- ened by sone kind of noise. He sat up and listened, and for a Unto all was silent, and he was about' �o throw himself back, when he heard a faint noise, which seemed to come from the room beneath, the room in which Boma had --died. The cold w at gathered upon on xis face ✓ s e ga p ! , andsat shivering n quaking, with o hesf g and qu t g, o his ears strained painfully, tryntg to per - suede himself that it was only fancy. But as he listened with an agonized acuteness he distinctly heard the noise again. It wee the sound of footsteps, muffled and cautious of some one mov- ing in the room below. He got out of bed, and, slipping 0 some clothes, stole, to the door. Tht3 he smiled a ghastly smile of reassut anco; the noise no doubt was made 1) the old woman, who was paying a+visi to : the sideboard on the chance' of hi having left the brandy,-•. decanter no locked up. "I'll give the hag a fright," he mut tered, and he went to a drawer an took out an old-fashioned pistol, • and loading it with a blank charge, crept with It in his hand, to the head of the stairs. MI was silent again now, but he knew that he had heard the noise and no merelydreanled that he had done so, and slowly and cautiously he descended the stairs. Although he was prepared for it, the sight of a thin streak of light coming through the partly open doorway of the sitting -room gave him a start, and, will a stifled oath, he moved forward on tip toe, and softly pushed the door' more widely open and peered round it. Then be fell back and clutched the pis tol tightly, for it was not the bent, de- crepit figure of the old woman he sae within the room, but that of a man. Now, Guildford Berton was not alto- gether a coward, and the shock to his over -strained nerves, weakened by the copious draughts of .spirits, could not be set down entirelcto fear. After a moment or two he collected himself, and peered around the door again, and this time the start that fol- lowed was one of recognition. A man, was kneeling .beside the table prying open a desk with .a clasp !mite, and by the light which fell from an ordinary candle stuck into a piece of wood Guildford Berton saw that the thief was. the man with tho rugged face and bushyeyebrows he w o had fain on the bench outside the inn on the day he had been making inquiries into Becca South's disappearance. Guildford Berton drew back and pon- dered, clutching the pistol hard and fast, and holding his breath. That the man was a thtef or an ordin- ary housebreaker he had no doubt, but he was puzzled to account for his pre- sence there. No burglar worthy of his salt, he thought, would break into so mean and unpromising a place as the cottage, unless he .were sure of finding valuables, and it was not likely that any burglar would imagine that .a sensible man would trust his money or jewels.to a crazy old desk. Why he had broken into the cottage to -night of all nights—the night of the owner's return—when he might hare done so during that owner's absence? Ho could find no solution to the enig- ma. Suddenl the he suspicion swept over him lIlce a breath of.ioe that the man had come to find out something about -- Went Recce South, and the sweat broke out upon Iris forehead. But he thrust the suspicion from him. Even if he had done so'`he would not have taken the' trouble to break open a desk. What was there in it? IIe tried to think, but could remember nothing but some papers, -of no importance, • re- ferring to business of the estates, Which he had flung: in carelessly fram:time to. time. There was absolutely nothing there which could repay any burglar, however hard up, for his trouble. By this time --a period of only a few minutes had elapsed—the. man Furlong, for it was he, had'opened the desk, and was turning over the contents. They were, as has been stated, papers of no niterest to any one, least of all. to a stranger but suddenly Guildford Berton saw the man start, and, catching up something—a piece of cardboard it look- ed like -hold it near the candle. Whatever it was he seemed absorbed in It, and Berton seized the auspicious moment, and quietly slid round the door and presented the pistol at the man's hoed.: "Move a step and I fire," he said. The man raised. his head and clad not move, but his hand slid into the pothet of his' coat, and remained there as he said, quietly and slowly "Don't fire, Mr. Berton. .I've'- You got covered by a revolverin my pocket, and I'm a dead shot." The next instant he had whipped out u revolver and presented it at Guildford Berton. "Now" he said,deliberately as before, efor ,, "we are on all fours, and I fancy my weapon is rather a better one than that hore affair of yours. Shake your finger on that trigger, and you are a dead man." ... illdier Berton t d e ton low nz ed � 1�ls pistol; and confronted his adversary With u ivllite face. "What aro you doing hero?"

He could scarcely say that ria was sur- prised or disappointed by her refusal. Re had not gone so far as to hope that she would accept him, and it was some- thing oma thing that ho had, so to speak, broken the ground. "She knows now than! love. her," ho muttered, as he walked along with 'e- verish steps and restless eyes. "She will grow accustomed to the knowledge presently, and -and In , time will dis- cover that it is useless to fight against it. It is a question of will, and mine s stronger than hors. If I had only kept my temper more under control! But that look .on her face and that 'Got' It was worse"—he wiped his forehead and laughed a ghastly laugh—"it was worse than the old mans on the night he was taken ill. I wonder if he heard and un- derstood what we were saying?" and he laughed again. "If he did, I have had my revenge already. But I must be careful. My tuck has stood' by me up tilt lately, up to the night I showed the old fool my hand., Is it going to turn?"' . As he asked himself the question he reached the gate in the wall, and tool: out his key. He had not deemed it necessary to no - quaint the old woman of his intended return, and as he opened the .door and entered the silent and gloomy house she came out with a lamp in her hand, and -eyed him with dull and stolid surprise. "Is it all right?" he motioned on his fingers. "Yes," she sighed. "And no one has been here?" he esker]. "Na," she answered; "no one-." Ho nodded and signed to her that she could go to bed, and then, taking the lamp from her, went into the small sit- ting -room. He ,had no sooner. done so than back flashed upon his`'mind the remeinbranco of--Becca South! Ito had been so engrossed of late by his pursuit of Norah that he had almost forgotten the other awful thing which had haunted him, but now here it was back again in all- its potent horror. Ile set the lamp upon the table and looked around the room with a shiver. It struck cold and damp, and It was full of the terrible scene of the night of his crime. Iie buttoned his coat across his chest, and going to the sideboard, got out some brandy and mixed himself a drink, but even Elio powerful spirit could not dispel the chill which had so swiftly taken the place of the feverish heat In which ho had left the Court, and he struck a match and lit the fire ready made in the small and. Lioky grate. But the wood was .damp, and the grate would not draw, and presently the tniy, sullen flame died out. He knew that if he went to bed' cold and chilled he should not sleep, and he lit the lantern to light him to the wood- shed, But when he reached the garden he turned to the left instead of the rinht where the shed lay, and slowly! went down. the path to the heap of leaves. Holding the lantern near the ground, he peered at tire heap keenly and shud doringly. It was just as he left it, and he seemed to remember the position of every stone and protuberance. • "It is all right," he muttered between bus teeth, but he did not go immediately; Instead he stood and stared down as if overcome with a sudden stupor. Then, with an oath, he pulled himself together, turd, resolutely turning his oyes away from the heap, went to the stied and got some wood. • When he got back to the house he felt in his pocket for his .matchbox and found it, but suddenly missed his keys. This staggered him, and he stood staring at the are vacantly, • then he forced a smile. "f am a fool," he muttered. "I've left. them in the gate" With the lantern in .his hand he went. down the garden, and found' that, es he had thought, he had left the hey attach- ed to the bunch, sticking in the keyhole of the wall door.• Cursing himself for his stupidity, be looked the door,. and, with- the keys in his hand, returned to the parlor. The fire was burning up, and he drew his chair.. close and. sat huddled up over the blaze, and went over the scene with Norah. But every now and then there came a ghastly pause in his rt,flections, and in that pause, the ghost of his 011me talked across his mind, and made the sIlene° of the cold, damp little room you.

INDIA'S DIA S PROUD PRINCES THEY PAY HOMAGE TO Tf E1dt FU- TURE EMPEROR. Tour of Prince and Princess of Wales in India. a Triumphal Procession. Tho tour of tho Prince and Princess of Wales through India might almost De described as a triumphal procession, the niaharajahs, or native princes, vying with one another to make the visit of the royal couple historic from every point of view, and full play was given to the Oriental ideas of splendor in the entertainments provided for them by their generous hosts. When in November last Bombay gave rho royal visitors the enthusiastic wel- come which her citizens had been pre- paring for months, exactly thirty years had elapsed since King Edward VII. landed there as Prince of Wales and heir apparent of Queen Victoria, who only assumed the imperial title a year later. ,The great majority, of the inhabitants of India have a somewhat confused idea of the different white officers who govern them. Governors, commanders in chief and viceroys the countrymen.may have heard of, but only a very hazy idea is formed ot.what they really are, but with the sovereign and his family it is differ- ent, and it is safe to assert that there ss not a village where the Kaiser and his son, the Shahzada, are not well known and there is a clear and definite concep- tion of their personality. The idea of A PERSONAL RULER is a. familiar ane to every Indian, often, perhaps, almost inseparably from that of a beneficent deity to whom are due a reverence and an active loyalty which can hardly be felt for representatives not taken cannot include every place of in, terest, in India it was not possible to omit a visit to this historic pass. In the whole length and breadth of the heir apparent's future dominions this wild Borderland of North-western India is unique. Here Is. the sharp and striking con- trast between the orderly lines of set* tied governments and the untutored license of primitive social organisms as in this rugged belt of country comnurnl gg Y !r called the "INDEPENDENT TERRITORY," .j and which extends beyond the Limits al direct British administration t'o the southern frontiers of Afghanistan - There were many picturesque ineidontt during the visit, such as the inspecting t• of the guard of honor at Lundl Metal, which, like their Royal Highnesses' es- cort; was furnished by the Khaibai Rifles, who pride themselves on being is the smartest corps among the frontlet r; levies, and a splendid piece of skirmish ing up a steep bit of cliff, which gave tate Prince an idea.of their wonderful cragsmanship. But the" most character istio incident was the reception at. M Musjid of representative Afridl blanks, the headmen of the Zakka-khels and Kukki-khels, and other warlike tribes of the Kliaibar and the surrounding moue =. tain fastnesses. They were only ten lel number, but were able together to con- trol on s' trol some 25,000 fighting men. . Each addressed a few words of royal Welcome. to the Prince, one blind patriarch' asking permission, as ho could not see hill royal master, to touch his hand, and each brought an offering of sheep as the customary symbol of tribute, which tbq': Prince graciously remitted. Altogether f; it was a .nmemorable day in the annals of the Khaibar. 411 From Peshawur the royal couple pro- ceeded to Rawal Pindl, where manoeu vre,s of a large force of l uropean- and native troop u. •ot -ilia Indian army were held.
