"It is not the less true that the box has been stolen, and doubtless by those whose measures you ap- prehencL" "True; and I was wrong not to render •an aceou nt of the affair to those who have a right to know. I had reasons for acting thus, which I will explain presently. - May 1 ask by whom the chiefs have been eo well instructed?" "You do not suspect? There is, however, a French proverb which asserts that one is never betrayed but by his own." Betrayed by my own ! I here here neither friends nor relatives." "Yon have an intendant, my dear Alexis Stepanowitch," said the en- voye,laughing., "Vacili l what; this knave has been acting the spy on me and cor- responding with the department!" "He was authorized to do so, thateI can inform you. .You must be aware that, in foreign parts especially, each one is watched,— sometimes by a comrade whom he is himself charged with overlooking. It is a system of mutual observa- tion, against which} it is useless to recriminate. And I enjoin you vary earnestly not to let• fail your anger upon} this subaltern who was, after all, simply exercising lux func- tions." "I will beware of doing so. He would be capable of inventing ca- lumnies on me to avenge himself. Perhaps he has already done so, for I suppose he was not satisfied to narrate the story of the casket?" "He wrote that instead of open- i+,g' an intelligent inquest „you haci set to work very clumsily." • "Then he has stated that I have laid hold upon a young man who. seas suspected of being the anew - pliers of the thieves V' "He has told all.

"C1iticisln is easy, but I should like to know what the rascal would have done in my place. It is true that, despairing of extracting any- thing from , this earned, I had thought of sending him to Siberia, but I have abandoned the idea. 1f you could indicate to ire a method of disposing of him without coin - premising. anything, yon would oblige me infinitely." "Well, we will talk over 'all this at dinner. And after dinner, if you wilt; we will go to the opera." "I the with pleasure, my dear Ivan Ivanovitch," 'said the colonel, laughing, "that business does not hinder you from thinking of plea- sure while, in Paris." "All goes together perfectly.

My appetite is voracious, and I mean to do justice to the cuisine and wines. el France." Whilst talking they. had reached, the fashionable cabaret recently opened on the Avenue de l'Opora. Borisotl desired nothing better than to enter, for he was greatly annoyed by thisbonebshell that had fel en. into his life, and this desul- tory conversation unnerved him. Wine unties the most discreet tongues, and he hoped that at table this representative of the great chief world unmask his real pure, pose. Ivan Ivanovitch spoke french ea fluently as Inc own tongue, and or- dered his repast with an ease which. gained him the esteem of thee wait - e1•S. No one supposed hint to be' a Russian until the end of the first course, when the'colonol, who had hitherto confined hitnself to cur- rant trivialities, in endeavoring to lead the conversation back to the interesting topic took the precau- tion to return to his native tongue. He first questioned Mouriatme adroitly with regard to the chief.' and certain employes sof the"Third Section, and if there had still lin- gered any doubts as to the authen- ticity of the mission with which said Mouriatine declared himself charg- ed, they must have been dispelled by the first replies of that person- age.' The envoye was thoroughly acquainted with the 'nest secret machinery of the administration which he represented. Evidently lee played an important role in the political police. It was the new -comer who took up the thread of conversation where it had been dropped on the boule- vard.

Maxime Dorgeres, whom chance lead led there, true to his promise to the countess, was net thinking of 'resuming with the colenol the stormy conversation of the day previous. He did not look toward ]lorisoff, nor the latter to- ward hila. But the companion of the colonel had attracted his attention from the first, and whilst affecting to be absorbed in the menu, ho cast sto- len. glances at Mouriatine. "It is strange," he said to him- self, '`surely I have seen that Pace somewhere—and that nut long ago either: T hiuve a memory for faces, and this one is not commonplace.

Bath experiments and everyday feeding practice have demonstrate tit' wisdom of malting reasooalie effort to feed approximately' l,al- anted rations, :purchasing, when necessary, feeds rich in pretrial, such as bran, oil cake, gluten meal, cottonseed meal, or peas. The writer recalls hearing his grandfa- ther remark once, years ago, hang before balanced rations were talked about, that he had never had tet tet results in milk production than when he fed a few peas. He rridn't know why, but if he could haat c' salted Henry, heetvoeld bave loam - ed that peas contain 18.8 per ant of digestible protein. as cotnp•lree with about 8 per cent. in corn, 8.7 in barley, and 9.2 in oats. Oil,ake meal carries 29,3 per east. of diges- tible protein, and cottonseed meal 37 2 per cent., while wheat bran, (a much less concentrated feed) p^:- sesses an average of about 12.2'pee cent. As the average ration of farm grown roughage is more or less de- ficient in protein, it is usually pro- fitable to purchase feeds containing; a high percentage of it, or be tier still, to supply it by growing el•+vtr an I alfalfa, the former contai.ti,tq 8.8 per cent. of protein, and the late ter 11. per cent., or about num- tenths as much as wheat bran. Al- lowing for the greater percentage of crude fibre, and for the fact t Bret it is not always possible to cure the alfalfa into first-class hay, we aro still safe in calling it worth prow' ably throe-gle.arters as much per ton as bran for feeding along with corn silage. Indeed, many dairymen ob- tai n excellent results from corn si- lage, alfalfa hay, and very little of anything else. Just by way of convincing skeet} cal readers that we are not talking or writing "hot air" when advising the use of balanced rations, we ap- pend a note received the other day from a Lambton County Subscrib- er. Early be the year be had writ ten us, propounding this query: "Having on hand abundance of corn, barley and oat straw to feed mileh cows, evil? it pay me to set, the barley and.buy bran, in order to have a more balanced ration 1" In reply, we advised him to sell the barley and buy bran and oil -cake meal, and suggested a ration de- vised according to las probable needs. Writing a month 01 so later, when his cows might naturally be expected to have shrunk in their milk flow, he says: "1 have followed your advice, and, as a consequence, my cows are now giving about ten pounds more milk per day on cheaper feed than they formerly bad.' --Farmer's Ad- vocate.
