Lord Harecastle sat by his fa,- ther's bedside anxiously awaiting the doctor's arrival, Soon after the servant's departure Joel came hurriedly into the room, "What is the matter 7" he asked, and his manner told of his pertur- bation. "I hope you are satisfied with your work," Harecastle said cold - "Certainly," Joel replied, "I am in no hurry for bed," Harecastle tenderly' led his fa- ther to his room. "Don't worry," he said sooth- ingly. "Perhaps we shall find a solution." "You do forgive me, Cyril' I have brought you this terrible trouble," ho asked appealingly.

"I don't deserve such kindness, "I think that his state is grave, niy lad," the Earl said huskily. Then Harecastle slid a thing that he had not done for years. He bent down and kissed his father's forehead. A convulsive sob broke from the Earl, and ho silently pressed his son's hand. Harecastle felt that tha coming interview was a forlorn hope, but he .could not miss the faintest chance of moving the Jew. Joel was pacing to and fro, and be smiled genially when Harecast,e made his appearance. "I am glad to see that the Marl is inclined to view things sensibly," he remarked pleasantly, "Take a cigar, and a whisky and soda.' "No thank you, sir," Harecastle replied coldly, "I am here to make one last endeavor to save my fa- ther, Be generous, Mr. Joseph; He is an old man, and very frail. He cannot live very long, and I pray you not to embitter his last days." "You have said al] that before," Joel said quickly, "and if that is all, you may as well be silent." "I cannot, T must, try to per- suade you. I am sure that my fa- ther will not succeed in persuadiog your daughter. I can do nothing to help him; she had suffered enough on my account. Do yuu realize that it is your own flesh and blood that you are torturing? She will feel the blow as keenly as we shall. You love her, although it must be a curious kind of affec- tion.

She .may find one that can give her the love she deserves." Harecastle spolce simply but with great feeling. Joel listened with a whimsical smile. "But here we have a marriage at hand that is in every way a fit and proper one. What is thereto prevent it? She loves you; you never loved her, but still you agreed," Joel said with a sneer. "She did not then know that I cared for Miss Fetherston," "That is unfortunate, but it will not be the &ret marriage where the love is all on one side, But I am getting very sick of this talk. Bring your father to the scratch in the morning, and 1 warrant that Rebekah will give in gracefully. Good night and pleasant dreams." Harooastie walked moodily up- stairs. The Earl was not yet asleep and he looked up eagerly when his son entered'. "Is he still of%stinate l" he asked quickly, "Asthe pig, to which his race ob- jects," Harecastle said with a sneer, of which he was immediate- ly ashamed, "I am afraid that he will do What he sayS," "Will it please you if I send this to the papers?" he asked impati- ently. "Yes; father. It is only right that it should be done at once," she replied, and her thoughts turn- ed to Ethel. Fetherston, The days passed, and still Ethel made no move. Rebekah deter- mined to write, and she did so at great length. "Do write to him," she wouad up. "He is sorely in need of com- fort, and who but you should be near him in his trouble." The answer she received was cold in the extreme, and it caused her great distress. One day she broached the matter to Lord Harecastle. "Why do you not run up to towi and see Ethel? It is only a mis- understanding, and a few words would put an end to it," she said wistfully. "But I cannot say those words. You do not understand her.

Rebekah wrote to Ethel that evening, and on the following day drove in her car to Eaton Square. Ethel Fetherston received her kindly "You must come back with me,!. Rebekah began impulsively. "I want you to make it up with Cyril," "I cannot do that." "You must. I told you that you had misjudged him, It shall be proved to you," Rebekah said eag- erly. "But how?" Ethel asked tremb- lingly. "I would give my soul to know that Cyril is the man I thought him to be when I accept- ed his love." "You shell know all that, and you will blame yourself for your folly. It will be your turn to ask pardon on your knees of the man you have wronged." "I will name with you, but who am I to see ?" "The Earl," Rebekah replied, "He will tell you all.

Even if it were only to be plowed up, with- out taking off a crop of hay, the sav- ing in fertility and increase of nits ragen would usually pay for the' cost of seeding. In the majority of oases, however, particularly in the corn &cations, matters could be so arranged as to perrnit of leaving the seeding for one or two .crops of hay, then breaking for corn, roots, potatoes or pease, to be fol- lowed by .grain aeeded•down. This system will enrich a farm amazing- ly in ten years, providing stock is kept, and the manure carefully saved and applied. We have seen it tried, with surprising results, on many farms in at least three Prov- inces. Under such a system, clovers should, constitute, the major pro- portion of the seeding mixture, timothy being added chiefly as a precaution, so that, in case the clover should fail, there will be a growth of grass, and the rotation thus not interrupted, Clover adds nitrogen to the farm, particularly when the hay is fed at home; its roots are first-class subsoilers; its growth and decomposition enrich and mellow the soil, and well -cured clover hay is the best kind of fod- der we have, next to alfalfa.

Nevertheless, we are convinced that, for almost any progressive farmer, from On- tario to Nova Scotia, who is wil- ling to adopt a modern short ro- tation, otation, the best plan is to sow much clover and little timothy. It is unwise to be sparing with. clover seed.

Bare spots in the seeding not only waste ground, but afford a splendid chance for weed seeds to obtain a foothold. Economy of clover seed consists in seeding liberally with good seed, sown under the best conditions possible. A widely -favored mixture is 6 to S pounds red clover, 1% to 2 pounds alsike, and 4 pounds tim- othy, per acre, If the clover "catches" reasonably well, the first year's cutting will bo nearly all clover ; otherwise, more timothy will be in evidence. The second year's crop will generally contain more timothy than clover. The alsike thickens the stand, adds va- riety to the hay, and insures a catch on some spots where the red clover may fail or die out. On level - clay or not -too -well -drained lands, alsike is particularly valuable. Where pasture is wanted in the sec- ond year, it is well to add four or five pounds of orchard grass or meadow fescue, or a little of each. With spring grain, the clover and timothy should be sown with a grass -seeder attachment to the grain drill, so arranged as to drop the seeds in front of the grain Hoes, shoes or disks, as the case may be. On fall wheat or rye, the timothy will usually have been sown in the fall, and the clover may be sown by hand on a still morning, or with one of the patent clover seeders on the market. 0,pinion differs as to when is the best time to sow clover on fall wheat. The common practice is to sow it in late March cr early April, on some wind -still morning, when the ground is cover- ed with a light snow or honey- combed with frost, thus affording crevices into which the seeds drop, and beconesubscquently covered. Others contend—and in 1006 a num- ber of them reported very favor- able experience, extending over fifteen years or so—that it is best. to wait until late April or early May, when growth is starting, and then sow the seed and harrow it in, in some oases following with the roller. This, although it seems like destroying the wheat, really ap- pears to benefit that crop, and the effect on the clover seeping is de - glared to be altogether favorable. What effect it might have on tim- othy seeded the previous fall, is an unsettled question. Probably, where this system of clover seeding is adopted, it might be better to defer the timothy seeding until spring, also,---le`arner's ,gdvesate, Penny Savings Bank least year.

When- a mother and daughter stand on proper terms with each other there is a firm friendship underlying the natural love. Tho mother, with the memory of her own girlhood days in her mind, is not too severe on the faults and mistakes that the young daughter is sure to make. And the daugh- ter, sure of a ready sympathy and comprehension, is not afraid to confide in her mother, The same rule applies with father and son. Most fathers lovo their sons, but they forgot that they were once boys themselves, and that youth cannot be staid and wise, and never kick over the traces. Perfect con- fidence between father and son is quite as important es it is between mother and daughter, and the ex - perinea of the parents can often save the young people from many Book Canvasser—"Good morn- ing!
