"I shall have to send ner away," 2 she 110(01011 to think to herself that. , ingnte "1 Can't he WatehIng 1101. al- ways, and 00(111 if 31 were to tmetch her I can't waLch him, i'd lento' 07 to get her tawny.

And theh, sad at heart, and yee scieleg no other way out of her diffi- culty, she set herself to think to what pince Letty could be sent. I.etty hied all aunt on her father's side, living in Yorkshire, a poor wo- man with n large 12 3011,3'. who WaS I little likely, indeed, to be willing to', take her niece Into her house foe no- 1 thing, but who perhaps would be 1 glad enough to take her, it Mrs, leecirkhani paid for her board.

Mrs, illarIcham thought over this plan for a few hours, and the long- er sho thought of it the more feasible IL seemed to her. The Morning it had first come into her mind she secretly wrote her letter, and three or four days afterwards her heart came into her moutb as she took the (1.1101000 t.0 11 Irom the postnittn's hand. The reply came -as she had asked that it 'should come -addressed to Lotter. "Child," said Mrs. Markham. al- most. tremulously, "here's a letter tor you." "For me ?" cried Letty in sur- prise, for Leety wrote and received few letters, and she opened it with a wondering face, and read it (it 10110 1101 long) • and than went steldenly into a little quick "'How lunny sbe add.

The earthquake which recently al- most deetvoyed Ohilpaucingo, the capital of the Stripe of Guereero, illogico, and a dozen other cities and towns lasted 111531 0 trifle ewer ball a 1.1110(111e. Although of SO ShOrtl duration, the groend heaved and shook 1v1th such force that not ti., single building was left without sortie damage in the entire city. Scarcely was the tremor felt, tut- companied by a rumbling .1101se, which resembled a heavy truck drive Mg 03101. a paved street, then many f 1.1 1 111 1.110t • •ts and . plaza, fell 1111021 their knees, and their voices went up in appeals ter mercy to their CloCI, while others fled, pante- stricken, they keel? not whither. The rtenbling swelled, anti then cams clis- tinet oseillations, an upheaval, and then 1110 crash, Walls fell outward into the streets, roofs fell in and clouds of dust aseemled heavenward, amid the shrielcs of the dying, the wounded and the nettle -stricken. In. thch \talc Ent or many ilod 03101 the debris which blocked their way, never stopping- to look back itor heeding the cries of the maimed, till they had reached the open fields. As the clouds of dust cleared away, and the calmer people began to look about them, they saw the scenes of destruction in that one terrible mo- ment which no photograph clan re- , produce. I The domed roof of the principal chen•ch, in which the Mexicm De- ' elevation of Independence VMS sign- ed, and 1.11e bones of General Bravos ;repose, fell in as the walls spread, "burying in its ruins two women who were praying for mercy. Close by, : in the plaza, a, tall pedestal slip- , porting a pair of legs was all that Ironmined of the statue erected to the ;Memory of 610110011.1 :Bravos. The reat 1 of the statue lay in pieces at the ;base of the pedestal. The lielfries of i the San Prancisco and San Mateo !churches were cracked to their bases, 'as also the 100110 of the Municipal ;Palace, a one-story budding of solid , construction. 1 The greatest panic prevailed in the 'prison, where upwards of a hundred 'prisoners fought and struggled with. Ione anotber, and pulled frantically • at tho barred windows and doors to ; get one from the cracking, crumbling 1 walls. The door of the prison was !opened, and the frightened prisoners Imarched between soldiers to a. place ; of safety, where they were put ur nde la guard.

That 'the farm 16 entitled to have returned to it all the WasteS from unimal husbandry and to heve AO fertility increased and conserved 113 aatnitted by all busbantbnen, 3131- deed,.00 necessary for the successful eonduct of farming operations is the fertile soil that the prudent farmer will Make ell Ms plans embrace elle soil's ileocis. In the purchase of commercial feeds, all other things being equal, he will give preference to that feed adding to the nianure supply those elements of fertility 1005 1 desired. In the feeding of live etoek be will remember that the ex- crement 110111 the f ull grown, matur- ed animal is inure -valuable for en- 241c1:01nnent them that front the gre, owitn 0 Experienced feeders are fully aware, that often the only profit from a Season's feeding is represented hy the nianure, and as this is the fannes share of the transaction it becomes the farmer who holds it 111 trust for the farol to obseree all economy in caring for it mul applying it to the farm in the most valuable condition cold in tut intelligent manner. If 1117 effort shall be 11110de leo 'lake care pro - pet y 110 1.)1a11111'0 an sloe fnr 1110 land all its useful properties it mat- ters little whether the animal shall be fed some of the richly nitrogenous concentrates of commerce or only HOMELY CORNMEAL. In the Liquid portions of the manure aro found the excreted nitrogen from the digested food as well as 211051 of the potash. This liquitl manure holds the nitrogen and potash in a soluble condition and any admixture of extraneous water taken up by these elements, holds them in solu- tion and if allowed to leech or drain away of course filches just what it carries from the velue oE the man- ure. The preservation of the soluble manure is clesirnble not only becewle it represents fully one -hall of the manure's value but because being soluble it is immediately available for -plant assimilation. IL is ready to go to work at once to assist 111 making the new crop to bo made into more manure. This liquid is most completely saved in stables with water -tight floors or gutters, so none of the liquid may soak away In the earth of the stables. Bedding of active absorbent qualities should be used in sufficient quantities to take up all the liquid. Straw as coming from the thrasher in an un- broken condition absorbs very lit- tle. Nature made it waterproof for Re protection and tmless its organ- ization is broken up by cutting or crushing it sheds water like the pro- verbial duck's back, almost. It is understood of course that these ab- orbing agents eannot hold the soluble f art it izing elements against water dilution and loss, but if the manure shall be applied directly from the STABLE TO THE FIELD lin a growing crop or where it shall quickly be incorporated with the soil, the farmer hes discharged his stewardship Well. Odors from man- ure are always warnings of loss of the volatile 01' gaseous portions into the atmosphere. Where manure is piled and fermentation allowed to become active. decomposition pro- gresses rapidly among the soluble elements, volatilization Increases and if not arrested a very large percent- age of the worth of the manure goes into the atmosphere. To guard against this loss of volatile ammonia in the stables and at, the same thno safeguard the healthfulness of the stables and barns occupied by valuable animals, some such absorbent of gases ns land plaster or super phosphate should bo freely used in connection with the legtaci absorbing litter. ! Of course the plaster and super' e phosphate absorb liquids also and work in conjunction with the bed - cling. By taking proper care of man- ure me 'May feecl purchased couern- ,trated feeding stuffs to be fed ani - inlets at a profit with the full 100- 1 anthem that they shalt carry a sec- • oncl profit to the land in tho man - 1 ure, the latter profit being often sat- isfactorily commensurate with their first cost.. USE OP COVF.R. CROPS, Prof. L I', Roberts, of Cornell University, says ;-"Cover crops may 113 a measure, take the place of fer- tilizers and manures. They are not, however, a universal panacea for all soil deficiencies, neither are they a fbil substitute in all cases for fer- tilizers. There is always 11. Wide holcl for the profitable use of one or ttll of the concentrated forms of fer- tilizers named, and 111 many cuses there is also a special place for the use of fertilizers, therefore the 11101'e 110011 of hottest goods. Commercial fertilizers furnish evallable plant food, but no humus, 'file cover crop furnishes both, but it is only fair to say that the plant foods in the former are more available thee in the latter.

The cost of iecrertsing meditatively by extra tillage, by the use of fer- Mimes, by cover crops or by all three means, can 01119 be determined in eneh 02100 by the fariner interested.
