A"', But Jaziet"s sharp eye had dis- covered behind a pile of papers, rags and dried herbs, a tumbler of current jelly, which Hannah had secretly made and hidden away for ‘her own private eating. Hannah's first impulse was to snatch the jelly from Janet's hand, but feeling in, tuitively that in the resolute Scot<rlr. woman she had a mistress, and fearing lest Maude should betray her to the doctor, she exclaimed, "li that ain't the very stuff Miss Ruggles sent in for Miss Matty! I forgot it till this blessed minit!" And shutting the cupboard door, Everything was ready at last; a clean towel covered the server, the fragrant black tea was made, the boiled egg was laid upon the toast, and then Janet said, “She ought to have a relish-preserves, jelly, baked-apple, or somethin'," and she opened a cupboard door, while Hannah, springing to her feet, ex- claimed, "Quit dat; thar ain't no sich truck in dis house.” "Ole marster be hanged!" mut- tered Janet, breaking not one, but three into the water, for her own stomach began to clamor for food. "Biled eggs will be good for her digester, and if I only had one dropped in water," she said, and quick as thought Maude brought her one, while Hannah growled again, "Ole master'll raise de, ruff, case he put 'em away to sell." The hearth was swept, the tea- kettle hung in the blaze, and then, with a look of perfect delight, Ja- net sat down tc make the toast, fixing it just as she knew Matty liked it best. "I ain't afraid of your old mar- ster,” answered Janet, and in a moment the board, which Dr. Ken- nedy would not suffer John to use,' because he might want it for some- thing, was crackling on the fire. "Toast and tea," answered Maude, and casting a deprecating glance at the fire, Janet continued: “You can’t make any toast fit for a heathen to eat by that fire. Ain't there any dry wood-kind) nor nothin' I" and she walked into the woodshed, where, spying a pine board, 'she seized the axe, and was about to commence operations, when Hannah called out: "Ole Marster’ll be in yer har, if you tache that." "What a hole!” was Janet's in- voluntary exclamation, to Whi3h Hannah responded a most contemp- tuous "timph," and thus. was the war-cry araised on either side. "What was you goin' to git your mother?” asked Janet, without deigning to notice the portly Afri- can, who smoked on in dignified si- lenoe. . "You don't like him," continued Janet, i‘aud I knew you wouldn't; but your' poor mother, I pity her. Didn’t you say you was gettin' her something to eat? She's had a good time waitin', but I'll make amends by seein' to her dinner, my- self," and spite of Maude's endea- vors to keep her back, she follow- el on into the disorderly kitchen, from which Nellie had disappeared, and where old Hannah sat smoking! her 'pipe as leisurely as if on the table there was not piles of un- washed dishes, to say nothing of the itnsTept,f1oor and dirty hearth. l "But what of that doctor-do you like him l" she said at last, and Maude answered: "Never mind him now; let {is see mother first, IH', ra- ther let me see to her drauer," and she arose to leave the room. After a little her mind came back from her lamented husband, and she gave Maude a most minute ac- count of her tedious ride in a lunr. ber-wagon from Canadaigua to Laurel Hill, for the stage had left when she reached the depot, and she was in too great a hurry to re- main at the hotel until the next morning. . a year," adding, in a whisper, "but there's one consolation-he willed me all his property," and she drew from her belt a huge silver time- piece, which she was in the habit of ponsulting quite often, by way of showing that "she could carry a, Watch as well as the next one." But the quick-witted Janet knew there was something more, and casting a scornful glance around the room, she said: "You are a good girl, Maude; but you can't de... ceive an old girl like me. I knew, by the tremblin' way you writ' that somethin' was wrong, and started the first blessed morning after get- tin' your letter. I was calculating to come pretty soon, anyway, and had all my arrangements made. So I can stay a good long spell - al- ways, mebby---for I'm a widder now," and she heaved a few sighs to the memory of Mr. Joel J?lod-i, gett, who, she said, "had been deadl CHAPTER v.--dCont'd) Maggie De Vere; CR, THE NEW MISTRESS AT LAUREL HILL. Ina Need we say those flowers were dearer to Matty than the wealth of the Indies would have been! They had blossomed on Harry’s grave--- his dust had added to them life, and as if they were indeed a part of him she hugged them to her heart-kiss- ing them through her tears and blessing Janet for the priceless gift ".Don't tell him, though," she whispered, and a deep flush mount- ed. to her cheek, as on the stairs she heard a heavy footstep, and knew that Dr. Kennedy was com-l To the last question, Janet did not reply directly, but faking some excuse for leaving the room, she soon returned, bearing in one hand ‘a box in which a small .rosehud was 'growing.' In the other hand she held a beautiful 'bouquet, which, having kept moist, looked almost as fresh as when it was first gathered. This she gave to Matty, saying, "They grexf‘on Harry's grave. I picked 'em myself yesterday morn- ing before I leftrand this," point-, ing to the rosebud, "is a root tl took from there last spring on pur- pose for you, for I meant to visit! you this fall." Many questions, too, did Matty ask concerning her former home-,-- her friends-her flowers-and Har- ry's grave; "was it well kept now, or was it overrun with weeds 'l" “I’m able now to live as I please, for I've got property," said Janet, again consultingthe silver watch, as she usually did when speaking of her husband's will. Then followed many mutual in- quiries, during which Matty learned that Janet was a widow, and had really come to stay if necessary. Louis was by this time awake, and taking him upon her: lap, Janet laughed and cried alternately, mentally resolving that so long as she should live, she would befriend the little helpless boy, whose face, she said, "was far Winsome? than any she had ever seem" "No, honey, no," answered Ja- net, "I'll stay till one or t'other of us is carried down the "Valk and across the common, where them gravestones is standin', which I noticed when I drove up." -“It will be me, Janet. It will be me," *said Matty. "They will bury me beneath the willows, for the other one is lying, there, oh, so peacefully." ' "You won't leave mb, will you ?” sobbed Matty, feeling that it would not, be hard to die with Janet standi'fxg near; It would be impossible to describe that meeting, when the poor sick woman bowed her weary head upon the motherly bosom obher faithful domestic, weeping most piteously while Janet folded her lovingly in Her arms, saying to her soothingly, "Nay, now, Matty darling-nay, my bonnie bird--take it easy like--, take it easy, and you’ll feel all the, better." ts l Through the door she had caught sight of the mistress, whose white, wasted face wrung from her that cry. Stuffing her handkerchief in- to her mouth, she waited until toast, tea, egg, and all had disap- peared, then, with the exclamation, 'fShe's et 'em all up slick and clean," she walked into the room, lug sound, which Matty thought was the wind, and which Maude knew was Janet. _ "It tastes like old times -- like Janet," said the invalid, and from the room without, where. Janet watched, there came a faint, ohok, . "Eat first, and then I'll tell you," answered Maude, propping her up with pillows, and setting the. server in her lap. "Look, mother," she cried, "see the nice dinner!" and her own eyes fairly danced as she placed the tray upon the table before her mother, who, scarcely less pleased, exclaim- ed, "A boiled egg-and jelly, too! --I've wanted them both so much. Bow did it happen l" a crevice in the door, entered alone into her mothers presence. Mrs. Kennedy had waited long for Maude, and at last, weary with listening to the rain, which made her feel so desolate and sad, she fell asleep, as little Louis at her side had done before her; but Maude's cheering voice awoke her. This see/hed reason/lie to Made, who, Leaving Janet to look through "Mothor has not had a feast like this-and she'll enjoy it so much," said Maude, as she started up the stairs followed by Janet, who, ere they reached the chamber, sudden.. ly stopped. saying, “I tell you what 'tis, if she knows I'm here she won't eat a mou-ful, so you say nothin' and when §he’s through I'll come." she stood with her back against it lest Janet should discover sundry other delicacies hidden away for a like purpose. 00d?

This kindness was duly appreciated by Hannah, and that night, in speak- ing of Janet to her son, she pro- nounced her "not quite so onery a white woman as she at first took her to be." Meantime, Mrs. Blodgett had wended her way to the kitchen, meeting in the way with Nellie, 1:around whose mouth there was a 'substance greatly resembling the yolk of an egg! Thus prepared for the worst, Janet was not greatly disappointed when she found that her eggs had been disposed of by both the young lady and Hannah, the latter of whom was too hysy with her dishes to turn her head, or in any way acknowledged the, presence of a second person. i "Joel Blodgett’s widow ought tol be above havin' words with a nig-l ger," was Janet's mental comment; as she contented herself with a slicel of bread and a cup of tea, which, bv.this time, ‘was of quite a reddish} hue. l Praise. Poet-Did she think my led..', A,r.ierrd----Bhe must hm There was something in the tone of her voice far more convincing than her Words, and when she ad- ded, "8he does not expect wages, for she has money of her own," Dr. Kennedy yielded the point, prophe- sying the while that there would be trouble with Hannah. There were tears in Matty’s eyes, and they dropped from her long eyelashes, as, taking the doctor's hand, she said: “Husband, you know that I'm going to die-that ere the snow is falling you will be a second time alone. And you surely will not refuse me when I ask that Janet shall stay until the last. When I am gone you will, perhaps, be happier in the remem- brance that you granted me one request." l “How should I know she had come to stay. y,)yrp-l-'-ytrhee-rd-)rv- thing about it,” was the dopto'r's reply; and then in no mild terms he gave his opinion of the lady--- said opinion being based on what old Hannah had told him. For an instant Janet's face was crimson, ‘but forcing, down her wrath for Matty"s sake, she an- swered, “I shall probably stay as long as that," and slamming to- gether the door she went down- stairs, while Matty said, sadly, "Oh, husband, how could you thus insult her when you knew she had come to stay awhile at least, and that her presence would do me so much good?" Just as she ‘reached the door, the doctor called after her, saying, "Mrs. Blodgett, I observed a trunk or two. in the lower hall, which I presume are yours.» Will you have them left there, or shall I bring them up to your chamber? You will stay all night with us, of course !" ' Mrs. Blodgett didn't think any- ,thing save that he was a most dis- [agreeable man, and as she could (not say this in his presence, she lmade no particular answer. Glanc- ‘ing toward the empty plate which stood upon the table, he continued, "Hannah telly me, my clear, that you have eaten three boiled eggs. I wonder at your want of discre- tion, when you know how indiges- bible they are," and his eye rested reprovingly on Janet, who now found her tongue, and starting up, exclaimed, "One biled egg won't hurt anybody's digester, if it's ever so much out of kileer--but the jade lied. Two of them eggs I cooked for, myself, and I'll warrant she's 'UZ"; zled 'em down before this. Any- way, I'll go and see,” and she! arose to leave the room. We had been in the kitchen, de- manding of Hannah. "Whose is all that baggage in the hall?” and Hannah, glad of an opportunity to "free her mind," had answered, "Some low lived truck or other (that they called 'Janet,' and a ibody’d s'pose she owned the house, (the way she went on, splittin' up Iyer board for kindlin', makin' Mis- sus' toast swim in butter, and a bil-i jin’ three of them eggs you laid away!

If she stays here, this nig- fger won't---that's my 'pinion," and, (feeling greatly injured she left the kitchen, while Dr. Kennedy, with a dark, moody look upon his face, started for the sick room. He knew very well who his visi- ytor was, and when his wife said, :“Husband, this is my faithful Ja- net, or rather Mrs. Blodgett now. Wasn't it kind in her to come so far to see me I." he merely nodded cool- ly to Mrs. Blodgett, who nodded as coolly in return, then turning to his wife, he said, "You seem excited, my dear, and this ought not to be. 'Tis a maxim of mine that company is injurious to sick people. What! do you think, Mrs. Blodgett?" rouse: I name Roam. (To be continued.) She f "The cows are seldom turned to pasture in Denmark, but tethered by means of a halter on the head and a. rope or chain 12 to 20 feet long, which is attached to a. ten- inch pin driven into the ground. The cows are moved five times a day, from three to six feet, depend- ing upon the amount of feed. In this manner the crops are grazed off without waste from tramping. The great advantage of this system of tethering is that the crops can be allowed to grow two or three feet high and yet be eaten down with. out nesting, thus producing much (which was sown the previous Sep- itember. When this rye becomes ripe in June they feed clover and when this is mature,,about July lst, oats and peas are fed. After these, the second crop of clover is ready.) It must be remembered that in the cool European countries it requires much more time for grain to ripen after it is fully headed than in the. central states, thus making the! soiling season much longer. It is:, the general rule to pasture until) short of grass, about July Ist, and) then soil until the grass is good) again. The cows are left on pas-f ture until October, the exact time; depending upon the season, thus; making the period cows receive) green feed extend over nearly six! months. ver, which by this time is from 12 to 18 inches high. Some dairymen practice partial soiling all the time, cutting green rye the last of May, "The soiling crops used are rye, oats and peas, oats and vetch, and clover and grass. These are hauled to the barn and fed green, or I0as- tured off by tethering the cows along the edge. In some sections where the farms are small all the land is under cultivation and the cows are/kept in the barns until the oats and peas are nearly ma- ture, when the cows are tethered on these during the month of July, after which they are too ripe to be well relished. The cows are then changed to the second crop of clcr, "The cows are treated with kind- ness and every effort is made to have them comfortable at all times. On many farms the cows are regu- larly groomed. Tethering the cows on grass is usually commenced the fore part of May, fof a portion of the day at least. age and if they prove to be good producers are usually kept in the dairy until 12 years old, when they are fattened for beef. In fairly good Condition cows bring 5%, cents per pound. Old, thin cows bring less. il "The million dairy cows of Den- -. mark are confined almost tpxelusive- s ly to two breeds-the Danish Red, fl of Zealand, and the Jyske; or Black and White cow of Jutland. Both , of these have been developed with- , in the last 35 years from the native t stock of the country by careful se- lection for milk production. The - Red cow is a product of a cross of - Schleswig blood on the native ra- l ther scrubby cattle. The result is , a race of fine dairy cattle weighing, , from 1,000 to 1,100 pounds. They I are dark red, with black muzzle, medium size, deep body, medium '. bone, fine skin and well developed [ludder and veins. The Black and, _ Whites of Jutland have been de-l ' veloped from the beef breed in use‘ (in earlier times. They are a larger . breed than the Red cows, resem-l bling the Holstein-Friesians in col- or and size, but are shorter in leg’ 'l, and deeper in body than the Dutch cow. Both of these breeds have a distinctive conformation and are ‘gvod economical producers. "The development of the breeds to such a high degree in 25 to 30l years has been due to the farmers' skill, intelligence and common sense in selecting and breeding for milk production alone and the ef- iii/il,,)..?:"' of these cows is a most striking example of what may be accomplished in a short time if good" systematic work is done and com- lmon sense and judgment are exer- 1iised. While many of the bulls used! are young and untried, they arel always individuals of merit andl from cows with large records.} Only the best heifers are raised and with the record of the dam (ii)', the qualities of the sire known their selection is comparatively simple, and no better cow can be , raised than can'be bought on the I open market. The price of cows is l from $80 to $90, some of the 'best-i:' averaging as high as $100, so that : it, is also profitable from the 'si'iiii"-'li cial standpoint to raise the young 5 stock to replenish the herd.

The male calves and any& heifers not needed for future covvs are sold for veal from three to four weeks old. Calves are not " lowed to suckle their dams. They are fed whole milk for the first week.
