The architects both had hot temper's! The building shrewd every likelihood of advancing with the orthodox rapidity. But Elsa's snood to -day was antago-. nistie to probabilities. Her excite- ment, whatever its cause might be, drove her in quick rushes from ex- treme to extreme. She was not con- sistent even in her ;burst of temper, for her mental vane veered round from stormy to dull in one quick swing, and her temper died at the first sign of the awakening of his. Though in the wrong she did not attempt to justify herself; and this is an omission which in itself inch - cotes, in a woman, a sweet reasonable- ness, which is neither normal or healthy. "I- am sorry, Horace," she said, "I didn't mean to be horrid. I suppose I was?" Scarborough's reply was a laugh. He had not the mental adroitness to follow the suddenness of her changes of mood; and his temper, less easy to rouse than hers, was harder to calm. He was still inclined to be angry. :1: sec "I said that I did not know Mr. Var- f ney," she went on; "and that is true. 44- But I do know who he is, and though he is your chum, I won't be introduced to him," "Do you know anything to his dis- credit?"

Our clever crops are becoming more at ! and more of an uncertainty. In the re proper rotation of crops there is a ce place for them that is hard to fill with e an efficient substitute. There is to - at ; day scarcely a more ticklish problem h, i before the fanner. CB! Clover crops are hard to grow, but e they are hard to do without. Gener- g a11yk,. when a poor catch is the only n,'result obtained, there is a tendency e • to Iay the blame upon the land. Prob- majority of cases. But in placing the d blame there is another matter quite t often overlooked, and a very import - d ant one at that. It is the matter of `leaving and sowing only the best seed. d 1 To -day our ablest authorities are ' generally convinced that the hest seed Y to sow is seed that is acclimated to e the locality; the climate, and the soil, d Other' things being equal, this is the e seed that should give the best results. "Bu Other things being equal, seed that is grown from plants acclimated to a warmer climate than our own are apt to be the most uncertain. In such a • year as the present one, when home - e, grown clover seed is scarce, there is some possibility that such seed may e be .offered for sale. It is a matter for which the farmer should be on the lookout. Inferior seed, no matter where grown, is a poor investment. In • grasses the seeds are small, and the • amount of natural food available for the sprouting plant is not big. A shrunken seed possesses very little of p j this, and is apt to possess little vital- th ity or vigor. Good, plump, well-de- veloped seed is the best. When buying grass or clover seeds, • the farmer should take -care to ascer- a- , tain that the seed is free from weed seeds, especially the more trouble- 1 some kinds..

(To be Continued.) teesseeessesesoosleleswwiris on the Farin "Get Rid of That Little Oat." Smith and Jones were neighbordnt: farmers in one of Ontario's banner oat -growing townships; who had en- tered their fields in the standing grain competition. A dozen others were contestants along with them, but by " early harvest it was generally con- i ceded that these two competitors were ' so far in the lead that the prizes Were sure to be awarded their field:;;. In- terest was keen, and finally it was agreed that Jones was to be the win- ner of first money, writes Mr. John Kyle in Canadian Farm, Imagine the consternation when the judge gave the award to Smith! An _indignation meeting was held, a letter expressive of the popular indignation sent off to the Department of Agri- culture, declaring that that particular neighborhood was ,done with all simi- lar competitions. The Department immediately sent a copy of this letter to the judge. The judge knew that he had done his simple duty. There was no doubt in his own mind that he had given a just decision, and he re- solved to investigate. Accordingly, he asked the farmers to have the fields threshed, at his ex- pense, and to have the actual yield of grain and straw decide the matter. To the surprise of everyone except the judge, Smith's field was the win- ner by several bushels. Apologies were made and another letter mailed to the Department, malting amends for the injustice done to an efficient public servant. "But how did you detect the differ- ence in the yields?" was the puzzled query put to the judge. "Simplest thing in the world," he explained. "I noticed that in Jones' fiekl that there were a number of heads that had few light kernels in them, but the rest of the head con- sisted of something that while it' re- sembled grain was really chaff: There were scarcely any of these grains in the other field. It was the resence of these poor heads that made the difference. I have got into e way of looking for these heads." And how do you account for them ?" was the next question. "These men will tell you. • Mr. ones when you cleaned your grain you got out all the weeds and all the ight oats. But you didn't set your creep to get rid of the little oats. hese little oats germinated all right, ut they hadn't vitality enough to en- able them to head out with every ker- nel well developed. Those seeds fail- ed at the very point where their strength would have counted most for filling your bins." "On the other hand, I,tr. Smith either hand-picked his grain or set his screens to get ries of those little seed oats," the Neapolitan clown who scored verbal victories (in French) over a heavy -faced, sullen -looking ring- master (who answered in English, coast town Spanish, or Anglo-Saxon French impartially), was under the circumstances somewhat unintellig- ible; the Japanese juggler was cle- c ver, but rather belied his profession cognomen of the Marquis Qui-Quis, a by swearing in unmistakable Cockney g at a clumsy assistant who spoiled one of his best tricks; and the performing mule, for this occasion, refused to per- form anything—possibly to prove, be- 11 gond all chances of doubt, that he real- di ly was a mule. On the whole, ther fore, Scarboeough voted the show a hi dull one, and wondered whether Elsa was enjoying it. It seemed that she was.
