along the road. At Nest Sly Karl :mid
but little, the bappmoss of being with
Dolores was so jyreat. He talked to
the Squire, and knew instinctively that

deughte-r who loved 'him so well. At
length the calm gentle beauty of the
scenery began to make its influence

seemed inclined to sleep, Sir Karl
placed au easy -chair for him, and ask-

smile—
"I should like it very much. Ihave

"You will not be told 1" he inquired
anxiously.

" Yea, very much," she replied ; and
they went through the woodland un-
til they reached the water.
For yearn afterward the scene

not a sign of fife near it, mysterious,
weird.

Sir Karl, suiting the cation to the
word, " it eeelna ti make no sound,

turned away with a rudder. " 11 is

away from it, Miss Cliefden."
A curious sensation, for which she
could hardly have accounted, took
possession of Dolores. It seemed to
her as though this Bleak Pool had sud-
denly become part, of her life, as
though she had seen it before, and
should see it again—a nurious feel-

KING EDWARD AS A FARMER.
Becomes the Peoprtelor of Two Famous
7saallsh farms.
The Lntereet which the Xing has
always taken in agriculture will no
doubt be increased by his coming in-
to possession of the famous Windsor
farms, which the Prince Consort re-
modelled. nese are now two in
number—the Shaw farm, a short dis-
tance from the castle, in the direc-
tion of 01d Windsor, containing about
720 acres; and the Flemish farm,whieh
covers some 400 acres of the outly-
ing neighborhood.
The Shaw farm stands first, its mag-
nificent model buildings, and the fact
that it is the home farm of the historic
home of the Sovereigns of England,
marking it out for this position. It
is the latest acquired of all the Wind-
sor estates belonging to the Crown,
having been purchased two hundred
years ago from a Frenchman, M. de
Shawe, from whom the name is de-
rived. It was merely an appanage of
Frogmore, till 1849, when the Prince
Consort took bold of it, and since 1863
the late Queen Victoria was the ten-
ant.
The Flemish farm is situate in
Windsor Great Park. It received its
name at the hands of Ring George
IV., anti consists of 2.10 acres of arable
and 100 of pasture land. The great
feature of the farm is the homestead
which was erected of a cost of 830,000,
of which over five -sixths were paid by
the tenant, and which at the time was
regarded as the most complete set
of farm buildings ever erected. Many
homesteads have been modelled after
it. Tho farm is noted for its pure
bred herds of Herefords and Devons,
and Berkshire pigs.
CANADA'S TRADE' FOR A YEAR.
Experts and lntperis Have Increased

A despatch from Ottawa says :—Tia

1899; and the. exports $101,894,723, as
against 8158,896,905, a total increase of
Imports and exports of $$59,856,023, The
percentage of increase is much the
same in the imports and exports, thus
indicating a general and healthy
growth, rather than being nue to any
special cause."
As regards imports entered for cou-
sumplion from Great Britain and the
United States, the increase shows a
little higher percentage from Great
Britain and a slightly lower ono from
the United States, as compared with
the previous years, the combined im-
ports from the two countries being
nearly 80" per cent. of the total im-
ports.
The percentage of exports to Great
Britain, as compared „with the total
exports, is shown to have fallen off
about 51-3 per cent„ and those to
the. United States to ;Wive increased
about 61-3 per tent., the oombined
exports to the two countries aggre-
g4iiing over 91 per tent. of the total
exports. The statemeut of the aggre-
gate trade by eonntries shows increase
with nearly all countries, only a 00.1'
few inconsiderable decreases appear-
ing.
The usual statement Showing trade
figures, unrevised, up to the latest

ment amounts to $211,852,23(3, as

FEEDING FOR BUTTER FAT.
A. fat animal contains within its
own 'body the material for creating
heat. If the food given is not suf-
ficient for this purpose, it can feed
upon or absorb and assimilate the
fat of its own body, if the digestive
organ$ are in condition. But when
more heat is not needed, it has the
same power to convert this fat into
the butter fat of the milk. The fat
will produoe milk with mine fat in
it than the lean cow when both are
receiving rations not euifioient in
quantity or no to her requ]reiments
in quality, but she will lose flesh in
doing eo. When we put fat on a
cow the are: feeding fat into Ler
milk that will be shown when she
is on short rations', ane, we never
claimed that we could btorease the
butter fat in the milk in any other
way unless we had a mow that
would not fatten when giving milk.
In that case fat -producing food will
show its results in the milk if the
animal can digest it. If she cannot
it must pass olff Ln same olhe,r way.
The often -quoted tost of feeding
tallow. to a cow, and finding that her
milk had no more fat in it, does not
naive anything. The cow is not
a meat -eating animal, and we have
no reason to believe that she would
make. any more tallow or bnitterifat
if she was given suet, lard or castor
oil in, her food. But give her fat -
producing food that she can digest
and assimilate into her system, and
the fat roust go to milk, flesh or tal-
low, and when in either of the latter
she can draw Ipoin it to and, it to
the milk.
SPREADING MANUREt IN WINTER.
After 56 years' experience I think 1.1
is best to draw manure out and spread
it as fast a; made, whites a subscrib-
er. I have had better crops from
land where manure had been spread
om a foot of snow than on adjoining
laud whore the manure was not
spread until spring. Where the av-
erage farmer makes his greatest mis-
take is in not saving liouids. Wo
are told that liquids are richer in
plant food than solids and yet 75 pee
cent of the farmers lot all liquid go
to waste and then wonder why their
farms grow poorer every year. For
saving the liquids nothing will equal
swamp muck, as it will soak up more
than six times as muoh as sawdust
or Loam. It is useless in its raw state;
and sltoOld be dug in the fall, drawn
to the high lands and spread two ;feet
deep whose it will freeze. In. the
spring it will be a fine dust and will
soak up its awn bulk I would have
it if I had to cleaw it five miles. A
load of it soaked with liquids Is PC as
much value ea a load of the best sta-
ble manure.

WONDERFUL CLOCK.

Finishes a 31o31 Ingenious Thtte Piece
After two and a half years of steady
labor, William Janlrowsky, a young
carriage builder of !Brooklyn, N. Ye
has completed a huge clock filled
with all sorts of odd attachments.
Not only does this clock keep cor-
rect time, but it has several sets of
chimes, electric lights, a phonograph'
a mnsta box, a procession of eccles-
iastical figures, a couple of miniature
breech loading cannon, a gas warm-
Mg device, an electric fan and at
alarm.
It took the maker just a year to
collect all the materials he desired,
and to draught his design and ,out
out with a ecroll saw the btndredd
of pieces of wood. The whole affair
stands eight feet high, ie four feet
in width clad three feet deep. The
wood's used ' making it were ebony,
