In a. very wet season a heavier crop may be harvested from plots drilled with a grain drill, every tube. sowing, but the greater yield of protein and other valuable nutrients was found in experiments at the Michigan station to be in the crop planted with less seed per acre. Frequent cultivation prevents the evaporation of moisture from the soil and secures its retention for the use of the corn plant. , For the silo corn niav well be planted ‘_~‘ _ v- -ulu‘pEO From the results of experiments with Swedish turnips conducted six years in succession at the Ontario station the general conclusion is drawn that as the distance between plants in the row in- creased from 8 to 20 inches the average yield decreased, but the average weight per root increased. The average yield of plants 4 and 8 inches apart was 17.26 and 17. 58 tons of root per acre respec- tively. The average results for six years showed that drills 20 inches apamave a. better yield than drills 2'6 82 inches amt - It is made in Toronto.

He remembered how he had begged her to keep out of the eating house and tried to hint to her mother that the place was full of lures. “It’s only a short step in the direc- tion of danger, †he said. “A public din« ing room, camp meeting, the skating rink andâ€â€" “Stop!†said Fanny’s mother. “I will not have you hint even that Fanny is capable of being bad. †And so the ï¬reman had been power- less to prevent the pure young girl from putting herself in this Eden so freight. ed with poisonous fruit. Promï¬tly at 9 o’clock he called for Fanny. She would be out in a. moment, her mother said. The ï¬reman went out with a heavy heart. Fanny was getting on. She had not used such language to him before, and it cut him to the quick. He had felt it himself, but to have her see it and tell him of his shortcomings to his “Then go and recep and come back for me. I shan’t leave the house before 9.

It will be 9 by the time we reach the hallff The head waitress, taking a position at one of the windows, stood looking‘at the two men, both of Whom had made love to her. She had urpo'sely seated them so as to get th 1r faces in one frame, as it were, for she had been un- able to forsake one and cleave to the other. She respected the ï¬remanâ€"she had loved him once and had acknowl- edged it to himâ€"but she was dazzled by the handsome, well groomed proprie- tor of the Mint Julep. Once or twice the ï¬reman ventured to look up, but each time he saw her gazfling upon his rival, and his heart was ï¬lled with dread. The ï¬reman frowned, but took a seat next the proprietor of the Mint Julep. The ï¬reman’s face, newly washed and hard rubbed, glistened in the glare of the electric light, and the same light played upon the jeweled hands and im- maculate shirt front of the Julep man. The ï¬reman b‘owe'd coldly, and the oth- er, feeling a certain superiority in the matter'of dress and personal appearance, smiled. 1y because her widowed mother was poor and partly to gratify a consuming desire to pose as the prettiest girl in the place, for she had been consulting her mirror. CHAPTER. I. “Sit here, please,†said Fanny, and she stood with her shapely hands upon the back of a chair that she had drawn a little way out from the table. It was the boast of the proprietor that he had the handsomest lot of table girls on the road, and the queen of the collection was Fanny McCann. That’s how she happened to be head waitress, for she could not know much of the business. She had come to the eating station part; HE TOOK THE CARD AGAIN TO SELECT A NUMBER CHAPTER II. How strangely sad the organ sounded in the man’s ears! He could scarcely iemember when he had been inside of a. church. “It’s all rot, Fanny, ole girl,†he had said. ’S’nough to give a man the jimjams.†The man turned his bloated, distort- ed face from the Window, drew a silk handkerchief from his pocket and flicked the dust from his patent leather boots. “Mother of God, †wailed the woman. falling upon her knees beside the small white cofï¬n, “take my baby, my baby!" And then she lay and sobbed above this mije of cold, cold clay. And that’s how he Mint Julep happened to hear the organ. CHAPTER III. Fanny had just returned from the little stony graveyard that had grown up with the town. The grass of tvm summers had grown green. upon the grave of her dead baby. Her husband. the Mint Julep man. was no more. His light had gone out in the midst of de- lirimn. and his body had been sent back east to his people. Tle girl twisted the little gold enâ€" gagement ring from her ï¬nger and thrust it across the gate. Now the ï¬re- man wondered that he had not until now noticed the beautiful diamond that sparkled even in the pale moonlight. “Oh, you don’t need to trust me if you don’t want to! I’m sureI never askeg you to. Good night!†from the radiance of that tinsel god Julep, I shall trust you. †“Fanny,†excluiméd the ï¬reman, stretching his arms over the gate, “is this the end of my dream?†“Do you love me?†“I have said that I did.†“And you have shown that you do not. †“Then why do you ask me?†“For your answer. If you can say truthfully that you love me now, fresh “Oh, I don’t know. Where there are so many smooth runs and smooth run- ners there must always be a. few wrecks and failures.†“Fanny,†said the ï¬reman, “I want to ask you one question before I go, and I would like a frank, honest answer. †“Well?†“Well,†said the girl, putting the gate between them, “was the ball a suc- cess ‘2†, “For some people I think it was a 'decided success.’ } “And for others?" ‘ “A flat failure.†“That’s too bad, †said Fanny, with provoking carelessness. Fanny yawned and ended it with a forced, half apologetic laugh. It was two hours after midnight when the ï¬reman opened the gite in front of the little frame cottage where the girl’s mother lived. The ï¬reman was surprised upon tak- ing Fanny’ 13 card to ï¬nd that his rival had already written upon it. A half hour later he took the car again to se- Iect a number and found he fac‘e 0f it black Wit1i‘: “Jul “111111635: “Julep.

It is the proud boast of the state of Washington that her hopï¬elds are the largest and yield the best quality of hops in the world. At all events, hop picking time is the most joyous season of labor. The bulk of the hops are picked by Indians, who have a deftness and skill never equaled by the white man. Old Indian women in their dotage and almost blind will pick their three boxes of hops a day, while the most-ex- pert white man can seldom ï¬ll two. “Now, Tim, What did you steal that fruit cake for? All of us share our good things with you, but I suppose you had rather steal them. Ah, old fellow, you are bound for the evil one!

In a well known college in one of the gulf states an old negro named Timothy and called old Tim by the students had for many years served them in the vari- ous duties of general servant. Of course the petty larceny which he steadily practiced as a perquisite of ofï¬ce was winked at by the students, who made him the butt of jest and ridicule. One day a student who had received a box of edibles from home missed half of the ponderous fruit cake which his mother had prepared especially for him He knew the thief, and when old Tim came in sight he exclaimed: With the laudable intention of mak- ing these ï¬gures look small we will merely say that the total weight of the rain that falls in one year on the Brit- ish isles is only equal to 1-119 part of the weight of one paltry square mile of the earth’s surface, from the surface to the center of the earth. When we con- sider that there are 121,000 square miles of such surface in the United Kingdom alone, one can understand what an inï¬nitesimal fraction of the total weight of the British isles the an- nual rainfall would amount to. Why, 4,300,000 Forth bridges would almost equal it. â€"Ludgate. The Weight of Rain. It is not until we take the rainfall in the bulk that we can realize what a stupendous quantity of water showers down in Great Britain and Ireland in one year, and even when we have the ï¬gures before us it is difï¬cult to realize their magnitude. To say, for instance, that 9,262,370,- 000,000 cubic feet of rain on an aver‘ age fall annually on the United King- dom conveys little or nothing, though it implies something moist, and when we further learn that the weight of the same amounts to 258,126,500,000 tons, except for a feeling of thankfulness that it did not fall on our toes all at once, we are only conscious that it makes a very pretty row of ï¬gures “I have never ceased to love you," she said, with her honest eyes upon his. “It was all a mistakeâ€"an awful, hor- rid mistake. †“Here, here!†said the doctor enter- ing. “If you’re going to cry, I’ll send you away.†“No, you won’t,†said the engineer, smiling and taking her hand in his. “She’s going to be my nurse. " He was asleep when she entered, and she sat down silently beside the little iron bed. The sight of his paIe but hon- est face so aï¬eq‘ted her that she took his hand and held it in hers. The sleep- er stirred slightly, and she put down the hand, but not until she had left two tears upon it. When he could collect his weak and wavering mind, the sick man looked upo the pale, but still beautiful face of e woman and whis- pered the one Word, the one name, that had been the sweetest name in the lan- guage to him in his youth.
