CHAPTER V.
After the explosion that followed
ve1
the inconsiderate visit of Maxima
Dorgeres, Col. Borisoff quickly re-
turned to calmer sentiments. His
fits of anger did not last long. where
'grave interests were at stake, and
such was the case now, for he hacl
to determine a delicate. question on
which he felt himself very much in
;the dark. The proceedings of this
:hare -brains ax'n
d M h ton roved no -
'thin unless ass it were that an a1-
most idiot bey affirmed that K. de
Carnoel was retained by force in a
house in the Rue de Vigny. The
supposition was so unlikely, it
could scarcely gain credence any-
where and need not give him very
serious concern, and: the, seconds of
young Dorgeres not having shown
themselves at twelve o'clock next
day, there was no longer reason to
,expect them.
But concerning his prisoner, M.
Borisoff's anxieties were great. He
could not keep him indefinitely,
neither could he eele:zse him with-
out exposing himself to the danger
of a publicity which he greatly
dreaded. To send him to Siberia,
the order for which had been given
as a last resource, did not remedy
anything. It was to cut the difficul-
ty. not, to resolve it.
Besides, in his last interview with
hire, Robert de Carnoel had spoken
with so much energy and earnest-
ness that he srtceeecled in casting -
doubts
in the mind of his jailor.
In the capacity of secret agent,
this Russian was 'accustomed to look
at affairs from all points, and to
change itis batteries as often as
necessary. He possessed a marvel
boas suppleness in turning when
once 'he discovered himself to be on
the wrong track. And lie naw• be
.gan to ask himself if he would not
da well to search elsewhere foe the
acccmplioe of the thieves. That
some one in the banker's house was
in league with theta was certain,
but what proved this to be M. de
Corneal? Why not some other?
Suspicion might rest upon the cash-
ier himself as well as upon: the sec-
retary.

The Haver af.oggs is influenced

Uairyhnen who . cannot patronize

The time is soon' to come when
farmers will be utterly dissatisfied
with present yields of crops, It
should be no difficult thing to dou-
ble the present average, and when
this is accomplished, it will be due
very much to the use of labor-sav-
ing apparatus for waking and ap-
plying manure, and to the practice
of increasing the supply by making
oompost heaps, which will be easily
applied to the land,
The Colorado station authorities
have been experimenting with ce-
ment fence -posts. Tests proved
that the life of the best wooden
posts is from twelve oto fifteen
years. In the making of cement
posts the following conclusions
were reached: Poured posts are
easier to make than tamped °nes,
but are more .expensive, because
one mold will make but one poured
post per day. Poured posts are
more than 25 per cent. stronger
than tamped ones, beside being

NOTES.
LIVESTOCK '1
I Work, rest and food, enough of
Ieach. and pure air for 24 hours in
1 each day, are the laws of perfect
horse management.
Hogs hate suffered no depression
in the last two years, and in view
of present conditions, there is lit-
tle likelihood of the market being
overstocked with swine for the next
eighteen months. Indeed, one was
never surer of good returnsfrom
swine -breeding and feeding than
to -day.
There can be no doubt that the
larger combed birds are the better
layers, and there would appear to
be a distinct affinity between the
cosnb and the egg organs, but when
the size of comb is carried to an
extreme, we find this reaction, and
the result is that the excessively
heavy -combed birds are worse lay
ers than those with medium comb's.
We should not fear for bad re-
sults from a heifer turned on heavy
pasture and becoming fat on the
same, or from the use of oats, bran
and ensilage for winter feed. Some
feeds, like corn, that appear to
retard the development of the nlhidi-
ing organs, we should avoid.
SLOP V. SWILL FOR HOGS.
There is a wide difference ba _.•' --- —
tweets slop and swill. Slop is relish,whiIo swill is pro-
perly a hog's
too frequently nothing more than
water polluted with unhealthful .
refuse. The term swill may em-
brace a wide variety of feed or
drink, ranging from ordinary dish-
water .to a mixture of milk, table
scraps, soapsuds and other kit-
chen refuse while slop is a combin-
ation of aground feed or feeds,
with water or milk. A supply of
whclesome swill in connection with
other feeds may be extremely val-
uable, but in a condition of decay,,
rarcicl, and mainly filth, it may re-
sult 10 a loss of high-priced animals.
Slop, however, may be considered
as always in order.--Cobnrn'a

ANIMAL FOOD FOR HENS.
If heavy winter laying is to be
