Her shoulders were heaving, but not with emotion. The warmth of Merritt's admiration had moved her to silent laughter, and she had macre the exact Impres- sion that site had desired.

"Mr. Merritt, I have made up my mind: if I had not-er-borrowed that star, it would not have been lost, and you would not have found it, and there would have been no trouble. AMy conscicuco would nc't rort if I allowed you to bo dragged back into the old life again. I am going to save you -I am going to tell the police that you pawned that star for mo at my instigation."

Although wo shall treat separately we do not: mean that they should he fed Huts, for all of them are best fed in connection with other rough- age as well as with grain. Wo place silage at the head, for of all the coarse feeds for the dairy cote this seems the most ideal. The cow likes it, thrives on it, keeps healthy. and yields a libereI supply of milk. This is all that could be asked. Silage is rich in carbohy- drates hilt not in protein, hence it Is best fed with clover hay, which is a protein food. Though the cow which is used to silage sloes well when fed no it alone she will do bettor if other dry fend is fed with it. The amount to be foci depolids upon the maturity ot the corn when put in the silo, well matured fodder allowing of a smaller feed, Thirty to forty [boldiellt. daily per cow shauld be suf- (ics Tests at the Vermont and Wiscon- sin experiment stations show that while silage contains the same amount of nutriment as (try fodder more of it seems to bo digestible and the milk returns from its use were invariably higher. The belief that milk from silage fed cotes is inferior in quality has little foundation. True there Is a slight odor to milk from silage fed cows but it is not objectionable. The but- ter mado from it is not tainted and of goof] quality. 00111 stover, or the matured stalks is becoming more and more esteem- ed as a feed for dairy coins. When shredded, a great part of the mater- ial which was fo1111erly wasted is fatten. If the small and imperfect eer5 are left in the fodder' when husked by hand its feeding value will be mucin increased, in fact many suc- cessful growers of beef cattle fend the corn tnbusked. Tho sowing of corn so thickly that it will not ear and culling it while green and juicy for fodder gives a tender food much relished by the dairy cow, The fodder may be put le the silo or cured in the shock, but in other case it isdoubtful If as ub much nourishment is secured as if 1,!80 crop were sown thinner and left teeth the cars were nearly matured. Ten to fifteen pounds daily is a good ration. Clover hay has much to commend it as a food for the dairy cow, and es yet nothing has been found to fully take its place. lleiug very rich in protein It is the best rough ma- terial to feed with silage or • %odder known. The dust which is objection- able for (horses is not noticed by cows. Its being a legume and hav- ing a largo root system gives it au ad,lional value 415 a fertilizer. 'rimolhy hay can not be recom- mended as a dairy food, Its nutri- tive value is testi than that of clover, while its cost is greater. It would better be sold to buy clover where the latter will not grow, or grain of some kind. • Alfalfa snakes very palatable hay if rightly curer!. It is of consider- able nutrient value and (deli in pro- tein. Enormous crops aro sometimes raised but the plant is difficult to cure properly, and will hardly stand tho northern winter several years in succession. !loots are less desirable for the feeding steer than for the dairy cow, as they tend to form a more watery carcass. This is - not so detrimental to the daily cow as good results from their feeding in Jersey and ling - land attest. A root ration takes the place of silage where the latter Is not to bo had. It is probable, however, that iho silage is more economical. ' Mangels aro the most economical root to raise for tootling, 'B'hcy should always be sliced or pulped. Ruta- bagas, carrots and sugar beets aro richer and 11111011 relished by the dairy cow, FARM NOTES. ia OR THE FAMII 1)4 is stated to be very difficult to differentiate between butter contain- ing 11111011 incl little moist05e.

The methods employed .in growing crops for the calming factory aro essentiality the same as those prac- ticed by the market gardener and the fruit grower, The preparation of the land must be thorough, the ap- plication of forlillzot's should bo heavy and the constant 111118(; of the soil with cultivators and 110es during the growing season is never to be neglected by the man who la- bors to real) a good return. 001111E111 butter makers lisle a pro- test of glazing butter with n. coat of melted sugar.

More intensive farming and a more exact knowledge and practice of the best methods in every branch are needed. Thin can be obtained by watching the agricultural papers which are al- ways ready to give the methods fol- lowed by the most successful farmers and by the specialists in each branch of the business, and by studying re- ports of the agricultural colleges and the experiment stations, which are sent free to all who ask for them. We say study them, and we do not mean that all that they contain is to he accepted as a guide for the future work, Think about them and see whether they are adapted to the soil that yoea are working or the crops you are growing. LIVE STOOK NOTES. By keeping your horses shut up in a dark stable you may permanently injure their eyesight. Experiments have made clear that it is not necessary, to grind grain for horses having good teeth. When animals are worked hard and have only a short time in the middle of the day to feed, ground grain will prove advantageous. It is just as necessary to give pro- per attention to the keeping of poultry, to the growing of grain or the caring for and handling of a farm as it is successfully to run a business -house, a grocery, a dry - goods establishment or a hank. Those who succeed best apply the ne- cessary ability, caro and attention to supplying the needed wants, so as to have profitable returns. Tho foods fed Sens during the winter should be an assortment of grains hest calculated to invigorate and provide for au egg yield. The best of these seem, to be oats, wheat and corn. Tho bulk of all winter grain food should be oats and wheat. if hulled oats can be provided, they are butter. If a liberal supply of wheat, oats and corn is furnished, not more than ono fourth of the whole ration corn, and fed to the hens among the Litter, it will pro- vide a good. egg ration so far as the grain supply is concerned. If they are not properly housed, such a grain ration is not likely to bo warm enought for them. More corn or heating grain of some kind must bo provided to make up for the lack of comfort and shelter. —4 --^-- GAMBLED IN MANSIONS. American Adventurers Under Ar- rest in Ireland.

The eyes seemed to fasten on the congregation with a glare and a grip. I heard a collier describe the same impression thus: "He looks that Axed on you, and never pulls bis eyes off yo,')." After reading a short passage froth the Bible he be- gan his address. It was all simple and subjective. Be hail prayed, he had seen visions, the "call, ' clear, and commanding, had come to him,; He had spoken about ten minutes,, and suddenly a wave of excitement like an electric shock :came upon the people. While he was still speaking they burst forth -apparently without lead or concert, but all and at once -into singing. It was a familiar Welsh hymn -by the way, everything was in. Welsh -"Dyna garlad fel y mor- oedd" ("Here is love vast as the ocean"), and again and again they sang the same hymn. The address was resumed amid cries of "Amen'- and 'lDiolch iddo" (Thanks be to Him"). Presently a young man pushed his way through the crowd and, kneeling in the rostrum, began a fervent prayer of penitence and fon pardon. Once again, in the midst of his prayer, the whole congregation break forth into a hymn, repeated with amazing fervor and vigor Dight times. THROUGH THE NIGHT. The hours creep on. It is long, past midnight.

"Succession" was nob always an adequate description, bee cause several tinges during the night, when the exciteneut was at its high- est, the outbursts were not successive but literally simultaneous, These cross -currents were confusing, and once or twice one felt as if the whole scene was a dream or a nightmare.. BACK TO WORK, - Most amazing of all was the em durance of the men and women There they were, through all these long hours, eager and earnest to the last, as if wrestling for life with an unseen power. At 3 o'clock the "hooter" sounded from some distant colliery. Whether this or the mere physical exhaustion brought them back from the world of tirelessness, I could not toll. Soberly and rever- ently they wont out into the morning air, eager as themselves. Many of the colliers, I know, had "only time for a wash and breakfast," and were at the colliery' to join the morning "shift.'' EFFECTS.
