Edith was the first to catch sight of hire. She sprang forward and cried with an impulsiveness that showed how deeply her quiet na- tore had been stirred. "Oh, Mr. Brett, I Cannot tell you how grateful I am to you! ,Here is my brother l" The two men shook hands and looked at each other with ana- tural curiosity, for seldom had an aequaii_ntance been made after mare exciting preliminaries. "I am indeed glad to see you," said Brett, 'shaking Talbot's hand with more demonstrativeness than was usual to one of his quiet tem- perament. "Then bow shall I find words to express myself?" was the reply, "for in my case 'there, is joined to the pleasure of making a much- desired acquaintance the knowledge that to your efforts I am indebted for my liberty and possibly for my reputation." "We have much to say to each other," said the barrister. ;; "I sup- pose you have secured rooms in the hotel?" he continued, turning to Miss Talbot. "Oh, :yes, everything is settled," she cried.

If you will watch closely at such a place where the roadside has been burned in the spring you will see thee insects, coming out of the ground very thickly on the warm days. This proves that the ,insects were not killed, ¥ost of theme are in the greened and the heatof the fire passing over them does not harm them and the trash burnedfrom above them makes it ail the easier. for the insects to come forth. While ne doubt a few of them aro killed the majority of them are until -d. The right time to burn these road- eidea to elo etffeetit'e work is in the laid fall of the year, after the cold. weather has already set in and all the tender vegetation is dry. Then, if the roadsides are burned, the insects in such places trill be killed by heavy freezing, as they usually do not go eery deeply into tbe ground, but semi, to dope nd. urs the eovering of trash to protract thein from the gold, This is a great bit more effective in the killing of lite insects titan the spring burning, Not early does the fall burning a"f the roadsides do good by the kill- ing of the insects that winter there, but it also helps to keep the road in better shape by allowing ` less mow to eollect in the drifts as it usually does in places where there is `touchgrass and weeds. 3bik get muddy and dirty, but retained, their vigor in the stud until an ad- vanced age. The, brood mares and colts of all ages were kept in good condition by lacing allowed to run around in paddock or field, gaining strength and vigor, all the time. The farmer's team needs the same recreation as does the race- horse and will not be ready for the heavy spring work unless he has the proper care and attention dur- ingthe winter months. In the Far West or North there are, no doubt, days when the farm- ers' teams must stay in the barn. Let them be as few as possible. Remember that an hour's exercise, turned loose in stable lot, paddock or field will start the blood to coursing, take theswelling ut of out stocky legs, fill the lungs with pure, fresh air and in the end save vet- erinary bills.
