THE AY8TEIIY UE
OR, TI.W HERITAGE OF MADAME
YALTA,
• CHAPTER VIII.—(Oont'd)
"Perhaps, But I doubt whether
may uncle will let us see iter."
"I have foreseen that, and made
arrangenm is for an interview, with
your cousin. 1 have written her
that I was in possession of the en-
tire proof of M, de Qarnoel's
Ilocence, and begged .her to oome
immediately by the little door on
the Avenue de Friedland. After a
brief interview, I will return with
her myself to her father, and he
must receive us."
Maximo would have had more
than one objection to urge, but it
was now too late, He knew Alice;
he knew that she would catch et
this last hope, would find means of
escape and hasten to the stranger
who promised to resto're
to her the
betrothed of_ her heart. He was
roused from these reflections by the
sound of a light step approaching
through the shrubbery. Madame
Yalta, absorbed in her reflections,
seemed to hear nothing. Soon a
white hand put aside the leaves,
a head appeared between two ca-
naelia , bushes, and Maxim} rose,
uttering a cry of surprise. Ile had
recognized a face which sho a sen

Madame Yalta started. Evi

But she soon recovered h' -self,

the 'countess. "Do you wish to ;e

And cutting short any further
explanations, she r':se to leave the
-conservatory. Maximo followed
without a word. He was in a state
of extreme agitation.
"Her femme de ehambre," he
thought,
"The creature who pilfer-.
ed'me of the bracelet is in her ser-
vice—like the 'gardener -like the.

.They creosol, without exohang-
eg a word, a corner of the park,
meeting with no one, and arrived
before a door of the cottage that
was unfamiliar to Maximo. The
Countess conducted him through
corridors and stairways to . the
large apartments on the first floor.
y Neither Justine nor the duenna
who had twice. introduced Maxim;
were there to receive them.
Preceded by Madame .Yalu,,, he
reached the room in which ho had
;seen her the clay before in the
great bedstead with pillars and
'canopies.
"Mlle, Dorgeres is there," she
said, pointing to• the doorway of
`Gobelie tapestry, whioh concealed
the entrance to the boudoir, "Do

He was still speaking when his
eyes fell upon an object upon a

box of peouliar shape, widened at
the top and closed with a lid.
"There, no doubt, is what Dr.

Maxime was about to cry out,
but the duenna whom he had seen
before, entered suddenly, went;
straight to her mistress, and spoke
to her in a language he did not un-
derstand. The -conversation was
very short, and the duenna went.
out on a motion from the countess.
Turning toward Maximo, she said
shortly :
"Do nob ask for explanations.

boudoir where Mile 'Dorgeres is
awaiting me, and beg her to listen

Gentlemen,—I wish to express my appreciation of the 38
h.p. Daimler which you have delivered to me. Before ship-
ping the car to Canada I made a three weeks' trial of it, cov-
ering some 1,200 miles. The car ran perfectly, and I never
had the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives
up to the many claims you make for it. The silence, smooth-
ness of running, and power of acceleration on' hills is really
remarkable.
My petrol consumption was 16 miles to the gallon, includ-
ing a great deal of driving in traffic. The tyres show no ap-
preciable signs of wear, and I think it will prove light on tyres.
I am really delighted with the car.—Yours sincerely,

WHAT MAKES 0001) OATS.
A grain of oats is made up of two
main parts; the outside or hull, and:,
the inside or kernel. Another- name
commonly applied to the kernel is
the meat. It is the kernel that we
are mainly interested in, because
We is the nourishing part of the
grain. The chief use of the hull 13

its, and to preserve the stored -up
food material for its future use,
As a food for stock, and as
article of human diet, eats take s,
high rank. Since the value of the
grain depends so much upon the.
part which is of little. use for food
consumers of oats in any form
whatever should be interested in
the relationship existing between
the hull and the meat. The oats is
always grown from for its meat;
tee hull is generally regarded as a
necessary evil by the stockman and
the miller. The range of hull in
oats is from 20 to 48 per Bent., 30
e
'
Ircent. lath
the average. Oats have
the largest percentage of hull to
kernel of any of our grains. Harley
Domes next with an average of 1G
per cent. The percentage of hull
to meat depends largely upon the
variety. For example the Jeanette
oat generally averages 23 pounds
of hull from every hundred pounds
of grain, while the Banner gives
thirty pounds of hull, and the
Fifty Pound Black 40 pounds. This
simply means that by purchasing
ere hundred pounds of Jeanette
cats the buyer gets seventeen
pcunds more of the most valuable
part of the oat grain than he
would get were he to purchase the
same weight of Fifty Pound Black
--a gain surely worth considera-
tien.
The difference in the proportion
of the two main parts of the oat
grain acco'.lnts for the fact, ob-
served by all feeders, that horses
will often do as well on three peeks
of one variety as on four pecks of
another. As a rule, grains high in
lull are such that the nutriment
hey do possess is not so fully ex-
racted by the animals. The rola
ive proportion of hull and meat-ia
ny oats can be determined rough- -
ly by removing thehull from fiftieen
r twenty representative grains
na then comparing the amount of
uli with the meat. Varieties also
ay be compared in this way.
side from the questipn of variety
the two principal factors which in-
uenee the proportion of the parts ,
nder consideration are : The time
t which the oats were sown, and
be time they are harvested. Late -
own oats are usually high in hull,
nd the same holds true of oats cut
dere maturity. Last year a plot p
f oats cut in the milk stage ran 84;:`
er cent. hull, while an adjoining
of of the same variety which has
sen handled in exactly the same
ay, excepting that it had been al -
wed to ripen perfectly before cut,
ng, ran only 29 per cent.
Any unfavorable condition of
it or season which tends to stunt
o plant or retard the proper fill
-
g of the grain will also cause a.
gher per cent of hull. From the
rce going it may appear that the
eal oat would bo the hull -less one,,..;
t you have noted that 111e hull
rves to protect the future plant
el its supply of food material.It
claimed also that there is a re-
ionship between percentage of
11 and strength of straw—a long
rcentage of hull generally going
th a fine, weak straw. This con
tion seems to be borne out in
e Jea
case of th nett&, but the
avy-hulled Fifty Pound Black is
nd to have straw which is soft
nd brittle,
We may conclude that the most:
irable oat, other things being
al, is the one with the lowest
rcentage of hull.— L. S. Klinch,

QUALITY AND COST.
There is this one striking differ-
ence between the products of the
farm and those of the manufactur-
ing establishments. The manufac-
turer governs the price of the goods
he has to sell by the cost of produa-'
-Lion. A cloth manufacturer,for,
example, will turn out several.
classes of goods which lee will sell
at several different prices and will
make the same profit from each of
them. Why? Becattse there is a
difference in the cost of production.
For instance, he can afford to sell
shoddy goods, for a great deal loss
than the genuine articles; simply
because the raw material in the.
ogre ease costs a great deal less
tha it Das in the other, and he
makes as much money in producing
Om one as the other. It is quite
different with the farmer, Go
through of gh illi 'various products of
the farm—live stock, grain crops,
dairy or fruit pre -ducts, They toll
. the same story. The test of pro -
clueing the inferior. article will ho
DS great as the cost of producing
prime quality.But the ono will
sell for very much more than the
other, It is quality and not cost
of production that governs the
price of farm products,
