He had longed to be alone, and yet the moment be had got his wish the most crushing sense of de- solation overwhelmed him. Me- chanically he drew down the blind, struck a light, and noticing that an. the disordered bed there lay the crumpled pink paper which had brought hint the bad news, he pick- ed it up, smoothed it out, and read it once more. There was still something which be had not seen in the first horrible shock of realizing his father's death, With darkening brow he read. the words which ;Herr Gronvold had weighed so carefully and -counted ae often. "I will provide for your sisters till you can, Impossible for you to return in time for funeral. Afy ad- vice is try for work in London.

And yet it was out of this very torture of realization that his com- fort at last sprung—such comfort at least as he was at present cap - a ' able of receiving. The name of Feick s should yet be redeemed; and a - glow of returning hope rose in his heart as he remembered his father's parting words, "I look to you, Fri- thiof, to carry oufthe aims in which I myself have failed, to live the life I could wish to have lived," Yet how different all had been when those words had been spoken! The recollection of them did him good —brought him, as it were, back to life again—but at the same time they were the most cruel pain. Perhaps he perceived this, for he raised himself, banished the mind pictures which had absorbed him so long, and began to think what his'. first practical step must be. He would lose no time, he would begin s i that very moment.

Tho much importance can no# lie given to the selection of pure grass seed, for there is no greater fail- ure or disappointment in farm man- agement than to fail to secure a, good stand if grass or clover,. Every year I am becoming more and more favorably impressed with the value" of a€sike clover, although wehave used it for a number of years in all of our grass and seed mixtures, writes 'a correspondent. We have repeatedly failed to se- cure a favorable stand of comznton. red clover, and to our surprise the alsike would come along and make a good stand and we would be en- abled to harvest a very profitable grass crop. Many times red clover will not thrive for the reason that the soil has become somewhat acid, but the alsike will make a very good crop notwithstanding the acid con- dition of the soil. r o f. Another valuale characteristic alsike clover is the fact that it will stay in the soil several years, and if permitted it will reseed itself, Al- sike clover grows rout little after snowing andno second crop can lee expected from it, Both in this re- spect, as well as the longer time it requires to mature its maximum crop, alsike clover stands after red clover, Its great and -undeniable advant- age, on the other hand, lies in the fact that it is more handy than the common red clover and can be, suc- cessfully cultivated on moist soils and land that is flooded at certain times during the year on which red clover will not grow, If alsike clover seed is mixed with pasture grass mixtures, it yields rieh and certain grazing crops, and when cultivated; on arable land red clover seed should be sowed with the mseededixture with which the field is . In this way a great advantage is gained in the fact that the first year after sowing the fodder may be har- vested chiefly consisting of red clov- er and in the following years after] the red clover begins to deteriorate the alsike comes in, in its place, and yields rich and certain crops, with the timothy and other grass seeds with which the meadow as seeded. On our farm we follow the same general methods of culture that we. practice in growing rock clover, with the addition of tho following As the alsike has a tendency to lodge when it is in full vegetation, we,find that it is advisable to sow it with other grass seed, by preference with timothy and red clover. The crops by this means are very rich and the timothy supports the clover, so that it does not fall to the ground and rot. While alsike does not yield as Iarge crops to the acre as common red clover of equal stand, yet it is very profitable, and in actual feed- ing value I have found but little difference ton for ton when it was being fed to a herd of dairy cows, and for feeding horses and all kinds of y oung stock I have found it greatly superior.

I have found in actual practice that it is a better business preposi- tion to sow a mixture of grass seed that will make a certain stand un- der the usual conditions than to spend :large amounts of hard-earned money to experiment with a crop uncertain nce i rte as red., clover, any e on r n . ...... y field where w ere itnot practically is r Il a �. sure "make a geed stand.

Not often fe a book review the means of clearing up a misunder- standing between sundered lovers, butthis s iovful sequel followed upon the publication of a review in a London (England) paper of a novel called "He Who Passed," The story is by a woman who de. scribes how and why she refused to marry the man she loved. The ob- stacle was an incident in her past life, and rather than confess it she allowed him to 'pass out of her life, As the book bears the stamp of an authentic experience, and is a thrilling human document, it sold widely, and in course of time a copy of the review,` giving a syn opsis of the story, fell into the bands of a, man living in the tropics,. He was profoundly affected by what he read, and secured, a eopy of the book at the earliest possible moment, to find that he was the man deseribed in its pages, as well as to discover why his offer of marriage had been declined. The sequel comes oft early in the fall when "He 1,Vho Passed will marry the 'wo- man who suffered so bitterly from his passing.
