LOST WILL Monica, having thrown aside her huge white hat, is sitting on a little around, with her back against a beech - tree. She has taken her knees into her embrace, and just now is looking at her cousin from under heavily lash- ed lids, that seen barely able to sup- port themselves, so languorous is the hour, and so contented her spirit Her companion can scarcely be said to. 'be looking as free from care as she is; there is a slight suspicion of wear- iness in his eyes, his manner is some- whattinged with a depression very foreign to it, which as a rule, is of the debonair order. "Anything the matter withou ?" arks Monica at last. y "Yes, any amount of things." "Weil—go on --say them all over -- it will do you good," suggests she sympathetically. "Not for worlds—at least, not for. many reasons. It would bore you; it wouldn't cure my ease, and besides," with a half laugh, "my worries are of the kind difficult to put into speech." "That means they are nothing but fancies." "Does it?" Then Ieaning back, and placing his hands behind his head, he turns his eyes slowly upon hers. "I wish I had neiref come down here," he says deliberately. "What!" cries she, leaning toward him. "Has Julia proved unkind? or. is it kind— Won't she marry you? Or will she?" "Nonsense!" said Mr. Norwood, ;ruffly. "I wasn't thinking of Julia. "No?" Then why are you sorry you! came to the Court?" i Norwood at this regards her fixedly. "I wonder," he says, in a curious tone, "whether you really don't know, or whether you are an accomplished coquette!" p th "Don't know what?" asks Monica opening her large, earnest eyes to a their fullest, and. looking at hint with? h such sweet and honest surprise as awakes within his breast the deepest self-contempt. How could he have s doubted her, for even one short mo- ment? "To be a soquette," she says in a little dignified;tone, "requires, I believe, practice. There is nobody down here except the, rector and Sir John Frere." "Sir John Frev'e?" apprehensively. "Yes. He is toothless and seventy- five. The rector is hairless, and sixty- one. With, this she very properly turns her back upon him. "Thank goodness!" says Mr. Nor - I wood devoutly, He feels affect- I tionate toward- both these old men -in spite;, of their ` abbreviations, and in spite of the fact that he' has never I seen either of thein.: "I beg your. pardon . very humbly," he says, after a pause, full of eloquence. No reply. "Monica—speak to me. 'T will net," says Monica, giving herself the lie direct. "Oh! but you are speaking," de- clares he. "I'm awfully sorry I said that, because it was as absurd as it was unpardonable.' "As you acknowledge it to' be un- pardonable, you can't well look for nay forgiveness." - "Nevertheless, I do," exclaims he boldly.. "Well, then, say at once, I am not a coquette." t "`Certainly you are not. You 'are an ang- You are all you ought to be, You are—" "That will do," says Miss Monica, 1 with a mischievous glance; "you` will s overdo it if you _go on any further. And now don't let•us quarrel any niore. Tell me what you were doing all the morning." "Lounging after Julia." "Happy enan! I do so love that old Court, and''I suppose she took you rough the gardens. If only my grandfather hacl behaved properly, nd left' it to papa! Instead of which ere we are, playing second where we should be first." "Well, it's nearly'as bad for me," ays the young 'man,, moodily;' "I was brought up in the belie!, that, as your father was not in it, I was to be the. heir, And see now where 1 mn." "You will be ell right when you Inarry Julia," says Monica, with 'the .friendliest encouragement, "Oh! Idare say," says Mr, Nor- wood) ungratefo ly, and with inei ees- flag gloom. ` y .Q . w p ��11tw+Yr "'hut you can't be ball oft' ' You � - �.

Some would feed twice a day, so r three times daily, others would g o the regular daily allowance in fo a different lots.

The nature of the hors digestive tract i5 such as to indict that smaller feeds and more fr•eque would but always . given with regularit be move desirable at more wit' ly separated intervals. On the ave age farm during the winter seas the feeder does not rise very earl land it is sale to eay that the hors in the average farm"s' g their first feed before seven o'cloc in the morning; get their second fe around about twelve, and either or or two other feeds later . in. the day Where three feeds a day are relie upon, we would favor giving one -hal the hay in two feeds; one soznewher around six or seven o'clock - in th morning, the other at noon, "the" othe half of the hay to be fed when chorin up for the night, which may:be don some time between six and eigh o'clock. The; grain ration. could very well be divided into two feeds; on in the morning after watering, and th other at night, after watering. A noon a turnip, a couple of carrots, or a inangel might be given to good ad- vantage. But we believe there is a better. method of feeding than this. Where the horses get their morning feed about seven o'clock and a noon feed about twelve, both representing fair- ly small quantities of hay, and where they are watered in the 'afternoon around four or five o',clocic, t is usual on these short days, we believe they wound do better to have a very small allowance of. hay just after this evening watering and °sufficient to keep them quiet until seven or'eight o'clock at night, when they can be very we1I fed a regular night feed of hay, composing the bulk of the hay ation for the day and their oats, and be bedded down for the night. The horse is a restless animal, and the ureter he can be kept the better. We would favor this latter systemoffeed- ng, with the roots at noon as pre- viously mentioned. We' would water vice a day,; and the late feeding at night takes the attendant to the barn where he can "see that everything` is all eight, and tends to keep the horses quiet until morning:-Farmer's:Advo- cate. toward "ensuritrg tut even appearance rho of the orehard when the work is Iris aeC; With !!!free or rnora3 waren it • ve pays rave e ass ou t e ground le all the time, so that he can see that - is •a -era ideas are introduced by c:. the workmen. � A reasonably fine sew, in good shape to and of the i•eg'ular carpenter style„ t. with a handle that will not cramp the. y, hand of the worker, is about the only e. tool needed except eheru's, which can be carried in a on pocket.
