You see, he got ra- ther a horrible death, as his horse first threw him, and then almost trampled him beyond recognition," "How dreadful!" murmurs Miss Mor - daunt,: with a little shiver, and wonders how . Mrs. Leyton could ever have smiled afterward, "Yes; wasn't it? She took it so much to heart thatfor years after she could not bear the :eight of :a horse, though she had the best seat in the regiment -among the women, I mean -and could not be in- duced to take a ride. Before leaving In- dia, she sold, er gave away, every one of her horses." Here Cissy beeomea intensely interested. "To whom did she give them?" sheasks, indifferently.. "I hardly know -I was up country at the tine -but to her most intimate friends, i suppose. By the bye, Halkett was an im- mense crony of hers." Indeed?" "Never out of the house," says the eas- ier, thinking it a good opportunity to im- prove his own chances, though really only giving voice to what had been the com- mon report iu•, that part of India where the catastrophe had o$eurred. "After Tom Leyton's death, he would have mar- ried here like a. shot; but. she would not hear of it. She is a very handsome wo- man, you know, and tremendously admir- ed by some fellows, though for my part I don't altogether see it: "Don't yon? I think her wonderfully pretty. Perhaps she will relent, and mar- ry him now; who knows? Certainly his constancy deserves some reward. Was it Mrs. Leyton gave him the mare?" "Don't know, I'm sure, but think it very likely, now you mention it, as he sets such uncommon store by her: Sow very well Mrs. Leyton is looking jest .now?" says the major, adjusting his eyeglass with moth care, and glancing significant- ly at the other end of the: room, where sits the widow .in earnest conversation with Prank Halkett.

(OntiicFarm FALL OAS, + OF TRU EWES. A flock -of ewes lust l waaning. lambs and in thin flesh at the tim0 of conception are ' apt to be very poor sub •sots for maternity in the sring. ^Na matter now well the ewe may be fed just previous to the time of lambing, she will not be in her best condition to nourkih king offspring unless ,she it; in fair eons dition at the time of relating, writes Mr. Ehler lienderseff, The reason is at-onoe apparent. If a ew© is thin When she is bred the burden of growing the young is too much of a.straizt upon her to allow of her gaining much flesh. This brings us to what is known. fi,s flushing among old shepherds. Flushing may be defined as puts ting the ewe upon highly a icoulenb and nutritious feeds previous to mating, 1 have said before it was neces-., sexy to have the eye inrood flesh This is 'just at the - hating season... ,j the object sof flushing. It has been found by a13 preoil. cal shepherds that a pint of grain in September is worth a quart lambing time. The reason is that the ewe fed grain in the fall has very little burden to bear in the shape of the. growing young while in the case sef the ewe heavy with lamb all the food eaten: goes most- ly to nourish the kettle. It will be inferred that if grain will make the difference in the condition of the ewe,rass will do the same thing g and this is just what happens. The ewe that has plenty of good nutria efa :isalmost -i th 1 t1011S grassesn sure to -come to lambing .time in good heart and raise a good, 'lusty\ itthe reverse is -true of lamb, while t the ewethat its not given a, good chanes. Flushing is especially, desirable. h ng P 5� in large flocks where it ass desirable to have the ewes all lamb at nearly the same time. With many •-flockmasters it is con sidered - desirable to have the ewes bxed as early as possible so as to have the lambs ready for the. early 'and, .therefore, best market. It has been found that by flushing the ewes they may be made to breed earlier than they would otherwise, and most. of them will lamb in a comparatively short period. It is well -known that ewes come in heat with the coming of cool weather, and it is probably true that the fresh, palatable grass, by cooling the system and invigorat- ing the ewe by a fresh flow of blood infuses. into her new vigor tivhich puts her in much the sante condi- tion that she is in the advent 'ef cool weather. Whether this is the reason or not does not matter to the. farmer if he knows whether this or some other reason applies, he gets the results looked kr, which is of vastly more importance. Oftesitiines themeans nearest at hand are the best and this is, true inour particular case, The mea- dow is always , at hand and could easily be used for fall feed for the ewes. The aftermath that springs up in the fall` makes good growth and furnishesa very nutritious and highly' palatable''food. tf there is some clover in it so mush the bete ter, as there is no food better for _sheep. Rape ma vy nt food and I am very partial to it. A small patchakes: of rapeersowexcellen in. the summer, by this time is large enough to make a lot of good feed. Another .day is to sow rape' in the corn at the last cultivation and turn the cheep in the corn. If a few sheep are turned into a lot of rape and corn they may be allowed to run there for some time before they will in any way damage the corn. Then, .too, this furnishes fine feed' for the lambs after the ewes are taken out. They may be allowed to run here all fall and evill live on the rape and lewerrblades of corn, and if the .corn is not down too much they will riot *bother the ear. Where t i' intended to make i s rape and corn serve this double purpose of pasturin§ the ewes and the weaned lambs.it is well to plant a lot of pumpkins, for feed for the lambs later in the .fall. They will do their own gathering and they - are the best possible vermifuges,, However well your fall pasture is it is always well to remember that a littlegrain will not come amiss, and I believe it would pay everysheep owner to feed a half pound of oats to . his sheep every day during thefall and winter, ever though they are on luxuriant pasture. There are many other ways of caring for the ewes than the ones 'mentioned, ' The only point of great give illlportanet; is to g1t e g"tsod, green food and lots of it. What the kind of. food will be, every farmer a'a n best deckle for himself, but this r o All lab much is certain lIl Aextra, with the ewe flocks at mating tele will be repaid mane times over at. the lambing period', It takes a brawn man io face a little: women at the bo.ed of the stains at two a.m.
