I made no answer to this observation, and we trudged along for a time in sil- ence, keening well down .to the water's edge, where the sands afforded a good foothold, The sand dunes which lined the 00a'et formed a continuous ridge upon our left, nutting us off entirely from all human observatioa, while on the rigbt the broad Channel stretched away with hardly a sail to break its silvery uni- formity.

I could not help reflecting that if he wore really the dangerous man that the mate affected to consider him, or that might he in- ferred from the words of General Heath- eretone, I had placed myself completely in }lie power. Yet snoh wee the majestic benignity of the man's aspect,and the unruffled serenity of his deep dark eyes, that I could afford 111 his presence to let fear and suspicion blow past me es lightly as the breeze which whletled round us. His faro might be stern, and even terrible; but I felt that he could never be unjust. As I glanced from time t,^,. time at his noble profile and the sweep of hal let black beard, his rough -spun tweed traveling Vett struck me with an almost painful sense of inaongrnny, nnoi 1 -re -clothed him in my imagination with the grand sweeping Oriental costume which is the fitting and proper frame for suoh a picture -the only garb which does" not detract from the dignity and grace of the wearer. The place to which ha led fie was a small fisher cottage which • had been deserted 00me years before by Re tenant, but still stood gaunt and bare, the balls being turned upward beneath the lids. In front of them upon a small mat lay an earthenware pitcher of water and half a loaf of bread, together with a sheet of paper inscribed with certain cabalistic charactore. Ram Singh glanced at these, and then, motioning to mo to. withdraw, followed me out into the gar- den. "I am not to disturb them until ton o'clock," he amid. "You have now seen 1n. operation ono of the grandest results of our oerult philosophy, the dissociation of spirit from body. Not only aro the spirits of these holy men standing at the pre- sent moment by the banks of the Ganges, but those spirits are clothed in a mater- ial covering so identical with their real bodies that none of the faithful will ever doubt that Lal Hoomi and Mowear Khan are actua117 among them.

Nothing is better for them than good, well -got flay.. Ewes should never, under any oiretlmdtances, be allowed to have roots alone, nor should they be fed on roots and - grain or grain and cake. These who feed this and omit the I11ty are spending money in waste. A judicious combination of all these rTot;ld form the ideal food and give the lith$ results alike to t11`8 clam and its offspring. The lamb must not bo neglected. Provision must always be made, too, that a dry'lslIr-ago can bo se- cured with good shelter from the wet and wind, and a separate pen be provided in which specially pre- pared food suitable to the palate of the young lamb should bellplaced, care being taken that only a'•small quantity at a time should he pas d in the trough and that any left orb should be removed before a fresliy lot is given. In the flocks where there is any signs of lameness in the owes at- tention -should at once be given. No matter how slight, the ailment should be immediately removed from the flock and not. allowed to run with them again until a cure. hasbeen effected. Lameness among the ewes means lameness among the lambs, and there is probably no greater source of loss among young Iambs than this. • Supplementing the Pasture. Green crops fed as a supplement to pasture may be fed in the pas- ture or in the barn lot, but as a rule are fed most economically in the barn., The cows remain ineide long enough at milking time to eat their portions. As a rule, the most economical method of supplying feed to help otit the short pastures of midsum- mer and fall is to feed corn silage. Silage will keep in good condition foe summer feeding with no loss except on the surface. If it is not needed during the summer, it may be covered with the new silage and kept until wanted. Corn furnishes a larger yield "of dry matter per acre than any crop that can ordin- arily be grown for summer feeding and has the further advantage of being on hand as early as wanted. It is handled more economically also than soiling crops, since it 1s cut all at once and not every day, as is noeessary with soiling crops. It should be remembered that it is only possible to feed t1 bunch of cows economically when they are fed as individuals and nut as a herd. A too common practice, even in the otherwise well-conducted herds, is for all :animals to be fed the same amount of grain, regardless of the time they have been in milk or the quantity of milk the individual cows are producing. Such feeding always lacks economy, as the high- prodttcing cow does not get enough, and while she may milk very well for a time, 811e Boon COMBS down to a lower level, while the lighter producing cow usually gets too much feed and accumulates fat. Treating "Lumpy Jaws." Speaking of lumpy jaws in cattle, G. G. Graham says." The most satisfactory way is to remove the gfowtll with the knife when in the tissues only. The animal is thrown; the head then liokl in a favorable position, the slain is cut over the tumor and the swelling removed by entting around it in the healthy tis- sues. • If hemorrhage is large tire' vessel may be tied` or taken up with the forceps'; bleeding from smaller vessels may be seared.with a red hot iron.
