more, ONE Til/“'0 CHAPTER II. The next day was cold. dull and rainy. With the ever-varying mood of fickle spring. the weeAher during the night, had lost all the graces which charac- terized it on the revious afternoon. and all day long a ialf mist, half driz- zle accompanied by a. chilly wind. had rendered out-door life anything but pleasant. Evening settled down. more calm. but not a whit less cold and misty. The city lights, wan and dim. struggled with the choking fog as if perishing for want of breath. Here and there a straggling pedestrian hurried to and fro. from one dark shadow em- erging. in a moment plunging into an- other. Deep in the recess of some door- way. a solitary homeless news-boy feeb- ly cried his papers still. Business men darted from shop or office with a rush for the passing car. and were swmtly whirled away to their homes. glad to escape the inclemency of the night. Down a. narrow. dark. bye-street or lane. two young men. smircely on the further side of thirty ears, slowly groped their way throug the gather- ing night. One of them appeared .to be sick or wounded. for he hungheavrly on the shoulder of his companion for support. and an occasional groan of pain escaped his lips as he slowly and pain- fully dragged his faltering steps along. At last. the wear feet refused to obey. and he fell heavi y forward only b6ng evented from falling to the ground y the quick grasp of his companion. who drew him hurriedly Within an open gateway into a stable-yard at the back of some large buildiu s. “ It's no use.

The poor follows crouched in terror. and scarcely dared to breathe as the steps turned into the yard where they lay hidden. past their corner. and finally halted at the door of a small stable. scarcely ten feet from where they lay. In a moment the door was unlocked and the two entered: then a flood of light filled the stable as the electric button was turned, while its beams shot out across the muddy yard. making a strip almost as light as day. and longing the rest of the place into dar uses that seemed almost tangible. The two men who stood within the stable in the bright glare of light. plainly visible to the two crouch- ing figures tluunselves hidden by the th u‘ k dark ness wi thout. . were no others than our friends Fraiton and Bronnell. whom we heard arranging to meet at some certain place ‘ on this particular evening; and this ' is the plum a pointed.

After looking over the new horse and dis-issing him till content. l‘mston turn-‘1 to his companion and said: ".\ nd now as to this other little busi- tress!"

SODIE FAMOUS \VOMEN’S ORIGIN. Perhaps the most striking instance in history in which a woman born of low degree has risen to the zenith of popularity and fame is Joan of .Arc, who. in her younger days, fed iswine, and yet afterward through her patriot- ic zeal and inborn bravery, became the darling heroine of France and her soldiers Coming to more recent times. quite alarge number of celebrated iadiesof to-day commenced life in humble po- sitions. 'I'hat. famous society beauty, Mrs. Lungtry. is the daughter of a poor country parson. but in this case her face proved her fortune. and. she quickly rose to be recognized as one of the most beautiful ladies in society. Sarah Bernhardt. who probably draws the largest income of any‘ectress in the world, was once a dressmaker’s 'npprentice. working ten hours a day in a Parisian workshop.

To make good dairy cows calves must not: only be well bred but must be fed in such a manner as to develop their growth and a capacity for consuming a large amount of milk-producing food. writes C. P. Goodcrich. A good dairy cow always has ii large stomach. which is shown by great. depth through til.- middle of the body. The time to lay the foundation for the great depth of body is during the first year of the calf's life. Men make mistakes with calves in two directions. As it is win- for care we are talking about. we will suppose that the calves that were drop- [ed in the spring linve been well kept during the summer; but when winter wives well. feeds ’l‘imotliy hay and corn fodder for the main part of the amuse fodder, and then to make them sleek and look fine to his eyes he feeds a liberal allowance of corn and perhaps keeps them closely coufliiod'. giving them no exercise. \Vllill) is the consequence of this kind of feeding? In the spring the relives look sleek and mneoth. .Mqiuy persons think they look fine, but thhy do not from a dairy- mau's standpoint. They are stl‘night on the back. the inequalities of the bony structure being filled up with flesh. The under line is straight and the ends square. Now we have a calf started on the road towards a beef animal, and by just so much as we have changed the form by feeding toward the beef type and made it look like a beef ani- mal. we have to an equal amount re- duced the chances of' the calf ever growing up to he a. good dairy cow. This mistake in feeding the first winter will be likely to have its effect on all her after life. You have taught her to make fallowâ€"something you do not want her to know how to do. The right kind of care and feeding in after years may in some measure counteract the effects of this Imistalke. Habits fonmled in youth are hard to eradicate. "Just as the twilg is bout the tree‘s inclined." is as true a principle to be applied in raising cattle its in raising boys. There is another class of farmers that make a mistake in wintering calves which is exactly the opposite o the one I have just described. "They starve their calves olr let them take care of themselves. When winter comes they are turned into a yard that per- haps has a. shed or a straw stack in! it. Marsh hay and corn fodder is thrown over to than and this. with what straw they eat from the stack, constitutes their whole feed. The only question the owner asks is. " Will they t through the winter!" If they do ive through t'ill spring they are not worth as much as they were when win- ter commenced. ‘hey have developed immense bellies, ecousc the food on which they have been fed was so in- nutritious and indigestible that they had to eat a. large amount of it to susâ€" tain life. Their bones have notgrown a bit during the winter and the am- ount of muSCIe they carry is much less than it was in the fall. If it was not for their big bellies they would not weigh as much as in the fall. It is weigh as mush as :in the fall. It is true that b.23y are deep through the middle. 3. quality we want a dairy calf to have, but this 'large abdomen has been made with the ‘wrong kind of; food. Mural) hay. corn fodder and straw are carbonaceous foods; they distend the stomach. but thcy do noth- ing tmvard buiid’mg up the form. The ca'lf’s education had not been in the dii'e'dzion of developing a capacity for handling a. large amount of protein food. A calf that has been wintered in the manner last described is worth much less than one lfed the other way . It has been stunted and dwarfed. and the man who follows this way of win- tering calves every year will find that his cattle will ” runi out" badly and he will soon. after a. few generations. have a herd of the meanest kind of acrulbs. no matter how fine the ani- mals were that be commenced with. I have told off two wrong ways of wintering calves which are pracl iced all . too much; and now it will take but a few words tic tell what in my opinion is the right way: (live the calf good clean quarters, where it is comfortably warm. but not too close. Give plenty of bedding. which should be changed frequently. Give the calves a chance to exercise in the open air except in the worst weather. Feed with regularity three times a day on the kinds of food that will make your cows irodnce the most milk. This will be fo that has a large proportion of protein in it. I would recommend feeding clover hay. alfalfa buy or pea vine hay and corn fodder. and some good oats or wheat bran. That would make a wellâ€"balancâ€" ed mllk ration. Feed so as to make them grow and look in ood fair condition. but do not make t cm fat. HO\V \VE SPREAD MANIIRE. We do not keep 0. Timothy meadow. and consequently do not have a field poverty-stricken with Timothy. to re- juvenate with manure. 'l'he manure goes onto the clover the first summer after it is sown. the best time, or else the semnd fall and winter after sow- ing, to be plowed in for corn. \Ve do not say plowed under. because in mmâ€" ing the sod we do not turn it flat. but turn eocb furrow slice up against the preceding one. This season. says Mr. Jamison. we tap dressed a tenâ€" acre field farthest frcmi the highway and barn buildings. This is the first complete cost of manure the field has ever had. Last fall the field was sown to rye. this spring to cIove-r. As sonn as the rye was ripe we began to haul manure. and kept it up at intervals. till the field was gone over at the rate of twenty heavy two-horse 10:.qu per comes. one man anxious to feed lis\mm“" (“mung is quite "(lilt‘t‘flhlo h! acre.

The rye was a light. cmp. and was harvested by the hogs. Then came a rank growth of rag-woods. which were cut just when coming into bloom. Following this. a. rank growth of clever. All this time. probably till about the first of Seplcm- her. the manure hauling was continued. At. times. when we walked over the field. we noticed the manure was not as evenly distributed as desired. To put a man in the field with e) fork in the rank clover to complete the work. looked like an endleu job. This fall me have had the rolls and brood sows on the field. They have trod- den down the weeds. and consumed and trampled down the clever. Now. leuk- ing over the field from a distance. lbe its dark cdlor in contrast with the green sword of clover.
