The eNarne; Or, The Adventures of Captain Fraser CHAPTER III.--(Cont'd), "Very likely both," said Fraser, cheerfully. "Is this Mrs. Church good-looking?" "1 can hardly say," said Flower, pondering. !'Well, good-looking enough for you to feel inclined to take any notice of her?" asked the mate. "When you .can talk seriously," said knickerbroker for the worst. "They've never shrunk like that?" said Mrs. Wheeler, starting up. "They have," said her husband, by itself," he added, in hasty self-de- fence. "You've had it in the soda," said Mrs. Wheeler, disregarding.

They went downstairs in single Me, : the' builder of the house having left no option in the matter, while the small Wheelers, breathing hard with excitement, watched them over the I balusters, Outside the h:ause the two I ladies paired off, leaving the two men to follow behind. The mate noticed, with a strong sense of his own unworthiness, that the two ladies seemed thoroughly en- grossed in each other's" company, and oblivious to all else.. A suggestion from Flower that he should close up and take off Miss Wheeler seemed to him to border upon audacity, but he meekly followed Flower as that bold mariner ranged himself alongside the. girls, and taking two steps on the kerb and three in the glutter, walked along for some time trying to think of something to say. "There ain't room for four abreast," said Flower, who had been scraping against the wall. "We'd better split up into twos," At the suggestion the ladies drift- ed apart and Flower, taking Miss Tyrell's arm,, left the mate behizid prepared with Miss Wheeler, nervously wonder- ing whether he ought to do the same. "I hope it won't rain," he said, at last. "I hope .not," said Miss Wheeler, glancing up at the sky which was absolutely cloudless. "So bad for ladies' dresses ," con- tinued the mate, "What is?" inquired Miss Wheeler, bhe skipper, in a great wrath, "Ill be emend "I'vegot thetwo tubs who had covered some distance since y v pleased to answerer you.

Seven different kinds of mechanical milkers have been operated under varying conditions for periods of from six months to five years by Prof. Larsen, of the South Dakota Experi- ment Station. The results of his experience are summed up in the fol- lowing nine points which contain many valuable suggestions, both for users of the milking machine and for those who contemplate installing them, ants, and then, leaving his hat on the seat, walked back in perplexity to the door. "Never mind," said Miss Tyrell, quietly, as he came back. "I dare say they'll find us." Fraser bought a programme and sat down, the brim of Miss Tyrell's hat touching his face as she bent to peruse it. With her small gloved finger she pointed out the leading "Got some dye on 'em at the docks," i characters, and taking no notice of said Wheeler, glibly, "I've 'ad 'em ; his restlessness, began to chat gaily in soak," about the plays she had seen, until a Flower nodded, and after a brief ex- tuning of violins from the orchestra change of courtesies with Mrs. Wheel_ g er as he passed the door, led the way up the narrow staircase to Miss Tyrell's room. "I've brought him with me, so that he'll be company for Emma Wheeler," said the skipper, as Fraser shook hands with her, "and you must look sharp if you want to get good seats." "I'm ready all but my hat and jac- ket," said Poppy; "and Ernma's in her room getting ready, too. All the chil- dren are up there helping her." Fraser opened his eyes at such a toilet, and began secretly to wish that he had paid more attention to his own. "I hope you're not shy?" said Miss Tyrell, who found his steadfast gaze somewhat embarrassing. Fraser shook his head. "No, I'm, not shy," he said, quietly. "Because Emma didn't know you were coming," continued Miss Tyrell, "and she's always shy. So you must be bold, you know." The mate nodded as confidently as he could. "Shyness has never been one of my failings," he said, nervous- ly. Further conversation was rendered difficult, if not impossible, by one which now took place outside. It was conducted between a small Wheeler on the top of the stairs and Mrs, Wheeler in the parlor. below. The subject was hairpins, an article in which it appeared Miss Wheeler was lamentably deficient, awing, it was suggested, to a weakness of Mrs. Wheeler's for picking up stray ones and putting therm ht her hair; The coliVirsatioh ended in.

Before the milking machine is installed, cull 'out the cows having very uneven quarters, and teats that are extremely small and extremely large. Even though the milking ma- chines may have a large range of adaptability in this respect, uniformly shaped udders and teats are advant- ageous. 2. The operator should know how each cow in the herd gives down her milk, and how she milks mechanically, and adjust the work of the milking machine according to the individual cow. - 3. The cows that gave only a small amount of milk and habitually re- lease their milk little by little are not best suited for mechanical milking. 4 .Breed and raise cows that are adapted to mechanical milking by, first, selecting a herd sire that comes from ancestors having good udders and teats and that milk well, or select a tried bull that is known to put good udders and teat's on bheir daughters; secondly, by not raising the daughters of the cows that have abnormally shaped mammary organs' and that are known to give down the milk irregul- arly. 5. The operator of the milking Ma- chine should understand, how to ad- just the parts and the workings of the milking machine to the different cows. He should have a mental picture of how each cow in the herd releases the milk, and how the work of the machine and the cow must work together and not at cross purposes. 6. The operator should take time to prepare the cow. Hes hould see that the teats are all in normal condition. With most cows, the machine should not be attached until the cow has giv- en down her milk, 7. With some cows, and near the end of the milking process, the teat cups will climb upwards: The low- er part of the quarter is thus wedg- ed in to the upper part of the teat cup. This may shut off the flow of milk. The operator should gently pull down on the teat cups to release this grip or pressure before the machine in en- tirely detached. If this bothers much, a weight may be suspended from the lower part of the teat cup during milking. By gently lifting and pressing the halves of the . udder in the latter- stage of milking just pre- vious e- vious to detaching, it will help the ma- chine to milk the cow dry. 8. If the above points are observed,. many cows need no stripping. The operator soon learns from the amount of milk, and from the looks of the cow's udder whether the cow is milked clean, However, to be sure, the opera- tor should try every cow by hand. This should be done at once after milk- ing. It may be accomplished by shutting the vacuum off and stripping directly into the teat cups, holding the cups in the left hand and stripping with the right; or it may be done by stripping into the pail. 9. The different parts of the milk- ing machine should be kept sanitary by thoroughly cleaning, and by keep- ing the parts in a disinfectant solu- tion between milkings such as pre- viously described, Deep Stirring v.

In order that the live stock which have been doing well on pasture dur- ing the summer months may maintain their gains, and for the sake of sav- ing the pasture for another season, the farmer should take care that his ani- mals are brought in and . started on winter feed before the season becomes too late.

The important thing to avoid,, and which proved the undoing of the deep fur- row theory, is the transposition of top and under soils. As far as prac- ticable the latter should be kept at the bottom of the tilled stratum until it is improved mechanically and che- mically through bacterial action, promoted by tillage and judicious manuring. An example of the room that ob- tains for discretion in regarding the depth of furrow is provided by a simple experiment carried out in Morayshire in connection with the Ab- erdeen College of Agriculture. A field that had been two years in grass, chosen for its suitability for the pur- pose, was plowed at depths of 41/2 in., 6 in., and 7% -in:, and sown with oats, the treatment in every other way be- ing the same throughout. It is in- teresting, and may even be a little puzzling, to note the influences of the varying depths upon the crop. The best return both of grain and straw was obtained from the 6 in. furrow, the deeper furrow being a good sec- ond, while it was evident that 41k in. was an insufficient depth for that field. The only point in favor of bhe shal- lowest furrow was that the crop rip- ened rather earlier than on the other portions. This advantage, however,. was gained at too big a sacrifice of caused her to lean forward, her lips pasted and her eyes beaming with anticipation. "I do hope the others have got good seats," she said, softly, as the overture finished; "that's every thing, isn't it?" "1 hope so," said Fraser. He leaned forward excitedly. Not because the curtain was rising, but because he had just caugit sight of a figure standing up in the centre of. the pit -stalls. He had jest time bo call his companion's attention to it when the figure, in deference to the threats and entreaties of the people behind, sat down and was lost in the crowd. "They have gob good seats," said Miss Tyrell. "I'm so glad. What a beautiful scene." The mate, stifling his misgivings, gave himself up to the enjoyment of the situation, which included answer- ing the breathless whispers of his neighbor when she missed a sen- tence, and helping her to discover the identity of the characters from the programme as they appeared. "I should like 'ib , all over again," said, Miss Tyrell, sitting back in her se't;. as the curtain fell on the first act. (To be continued), quantity and quality of yield. All the samples gave the same weight per bushel, 44 lbs. of dressed' grain. The returns of dressed grain were seventy- one bushels, 8 lbs.; eighty-five to retire every night wearing a beauty mask made from the hot bread and milk provided for her supper.

During some recent heavy route marching in Aldershot an Irish rifle- man, called Pat Doolan, was admitted into the hospital suffering from rheu- matism. Pat would have enjoyed his new quarters very well, only he was debarred from sending for or receiv- ing intoxicating liquors. One day, however, Pat determined to proach the subject to the surgeon, and, accordingly, when the latter visit- ed the wards and inquired if there were any complaints, our hero in- nocently asked for a change of diet. "What change of diet would you like?" asked the surgeon. "Sure," says Pat, "Oi'd loike a bot- tle ay shtout, sox•, as Oi'm feelin' morthal bad, and Oi think the shtout would do me a power o' good."

Few people, not even the French, fully realized previous to the war the extent and value of French colonial possessions. An editorial writer in a French newspaper recently admitted that his government would have been. completely self-supporting in the mate ter of materials for munition fac- tories if it had organized and develop- ed the mines in its colonies., As a matter of fact, the war, which arous- ed the hearty co-operation of the col- onists, has convinced France that she is a richer and more important na- tion than she thought she was. Even a brief resume of French col- onial aid is impressive. The ranks of the army have been reinforced by hundreds of thousands of Algerians, Tunisians, natives of Morocco and Senegalese. The war factories em- ploy 15,000 natives, from North Africa and an equal number of skilled An- namites from Cochin China. Eight thousand Annamites are working t the Red Cross organization. Natives of Madagascar are enrolled as en- gineers and New Caledonians are at work in the mines. Indo-China recently added more than $2,000,000 to its budget for send- ing foodstuffs to France. North Africa has sent 1,000,000 tons of cer- eals to Franke and also to Great Brit- ain and Italy, Algeria has supplied 2,500,00 sheep and 60,000 cattle. Mo- rocco has contributed a great number of eggs. Madagascar has sent meat and tpreserves, St. Pierre and Mique- lon salted fish, the Antilles and Reunion more than 100,000 tons of sugar, Wool, rubber, graphite, nit- kel, chromium and many other use- ful materials have been obtained from French colonies.
