spying to himself that he had secured

ested in his work.
Gilbert Forrester, who had given the
name of Allan Seymour, took occasion
in avail himself of the privilege two
days later.
To his intense annoyance, he "did not
see Corine about, and determined to
h urn all that he wished to know from
the loquacious little maid of all work,
Madge, whom he could see had taken
suite a strong fancy to him since the
I:me he had first made his appearance
there.
Madge was only too pleased to talk
with the bonny new gardener, and he
was soon in possession of the family
history, how many there were In the
house, and a full account of the pretty
young girl who had been brought to
visiit the old doctor and his wife on the
nigh of the terrible storm.
Ile also learned that it was the young
girl's father who had arranged the visit
to the lonely old farmhouse, for the
young girl was terribly lonesome and
homesick. desiring to go home the fol-
lowing day, and they would have come
for her but for a most unexpected cir-
curnstance—two in the household had
teen taken with a malignant disease—
the father and a young girl cousin; and
Linden Hall had been quarantined in
consequence.
Therefore, whether Miss Corine Bar-
low liked it or not, she was thus destin-
ed to spend some time at the old Bax-
ter farmhouse.
"Miss Corine has not learned about it
yet," went on the girl. "A gentleman
has just conte over from the village
near where she lives to acquaint her
with the facts. lie went in search of
her out through the grounds just a few
moments before you came. 1 hope he
has found her—under the old apple tree
—where i directed hint. And, oh, what
a liberal young man he is,"added the
girl, shyly, exhibiting a bank note. "He
pave me this, and said: 'Look atter Miss
t Corine well."'
"Did he tell you his name?" asked
the gardener, carelessly.
"No," returned Madge, "but as he
stepped into the grounds 1 heard old
Ur. Baxter tell his wife that the gentle-
man was Mr. John Rockledge, a law-
yer. and she also added that he was one
of the noblest young men that the world
held; and he further staled that it was
the desire of Miss Corine's father that
his daughter should marry the lawyer."
The girl did not notice the cruel
smile that crept up to the lips of the new
gardener under the thick. curling. red
mustache, nor see his dark eyes, which
were at such variance with his com-
plexion, gleam with a strange light in
their depths.

THE COW FOR PROFIT.
The prune factor of successful dairying
Is a profitable cow. The market value
of her product must more than coun-
terbalance the market value of the food
consumed and care bestowed upon her.
The cow that does not manifest any
dairy tendencies cannot be depended up-
on to be profitable to her owner though
the best of feed and care be given her.
Iter natural tendencies are to produce
prime beet. She should not be directed
into the dairy channel for which she
ii not adapted.
The cow for profit in lite dairy, must
ttave the ability to convert food into
milk and not into beef. She must not
lack vigor and constitution and the abil-
ity to transmit to her progeny such
qualities as she possesses. And if her
breeding is unquestionable, the chances
are that she will have the sante ten-
dencies.
But these qualities alone will not make
the cow profitable unless the produc-
tree capacity of the farm is such as to
produce an abundance of chenp and suit-
able food for the cow. Tho unproduc-
tiveness of almost all land is easily over-
come by the application of manure or
commercial fertilizers and a proper ob-
servance of the principles of tillage.
It has been demonstrated by experi-
ments again and again that the only
reliable criterion to determine the pro-
ductive or non productive ability of the
((airy cow is tate scale and Babcock test.
The milk of each cow should be weigh-
ed and recorded at each milking. At
least once in three months a composite
and proper sample of six makings of
each cow should be tested and the re-
sults recorded. ,The annual records will
determine the profitable and unprofit-
able cows in the herd. The unproflt•
nble cows should he discarded.
Atter having eliminated the scrubs in
the herd where Is the dairyman going
to find the cows he wants to take the
place of (hose he has discarded? Shall
he go to some adjoining state, county
et town. or shall he seek them in his
awn herd? Dairying should begin at
home. He should look into his own herd
and see how ninny in the herd come
up to the standard of what a dairy cow
should be. •
The cows having these qualities should
be selected. They should have the per-
fect dairy figure and constitution. Thick

large udders. These cows should be

found. The records based on the results
