I was happler in my new cccupation than 1 remembered . to have been before, and as I saw spring oapprouching, i regretted the short days, which had been brighter to me than midsummer. "L musta‘t keep you indoors so long now, Babiote,‘" I said to her one alternaoon in the first days of April. "I have been making you work too bard lately, and you must go and get back your roses on the hills." The collie wagged her tail violeatâ€" ly, taking this little bit of affectionâ€" ate conversation as a welcome reâ€" lief to the monotony of our studies.

I began to smile to myself at the remembrance of her preternatâ€" ural gravity, and ‘Caâ€"Ta put her foreâ€" paws on my knees and wagged her tail for _ sympathy. I thought it rery probable that Mrs. Eilmer would Interfere to prevent the girl‘s coming again, or that Babiole‘s enthusiasm for learning would die out in a day or two, and I should be left waiting for my pupil with my grammars and dictionaries on my hands. However, she reappeared next day, absolutely porfect in the verb avoir, the months, the seasons and the pages out of the phraseâ€"book. When I praised her, she saic, with much warmth : 1 saw the light come over the girl‘s lace as she looked out of the window, and, with a pang of sellâ€"reproach, I felt that, in spite of herself, the earnest little student had been waitâ€" ing eagerly for some such words as these.

I thought it was a great deal more but did, not like to discourage her by saying so. I had much doubt about my teaching, having been plunged into it suddenly without having had time to formuâ€" late a method ; but then I was conâ€" vinced that by the time I felt more sure of my powers my pupil‘s zeal would have melted away, and I should have no one to â€"experimentâ€" alise upon. As soon aqg I had assured her that she had done quite enough: for the first lesson, Babiole rose, colâ€" lected the formidable pile of books, her exerciseâ€"book, and the pen I had consecrated to her use, and asked me where she should keep them. We deâ€" cided upon a cornmer of the piano as being a place where they would not be in my way, Babiole hbaving a charmingly feminine reverence for the importance of even the most frivolous occupations of the stronger sex. After this she thanked me very gravely and prettily for my kindness in teaching her, and hastenâ€" ed away, evidently in the innocent belief that Imust be anxious to be alone. mars and other elimentary works.

Then she wrote out the verb "To have" in French and English ; and her appetite for knowledge not being yet quenched, she then learnt and wrote down the names of different objects round us, some of which, I regret to say, her master had to journey to Aberdeen to provide myself with a whole m"rlino‘ Frepnch gramâ€" mars and other elimentary works.

But when the days grew short again, the home hunger grew irresistibly strong, and I went back to the Highiands as a gambler goes back to the cards. Of course I knew what took me there, just when the hills were growing bleak, and the deer had gone to their winter reâ€" treat in the forests. I wanted to see that girl‘s face in my study again, to hear the young voice that rang with youth and happiness and every quality that makes womanhood sweet and loveworthy in a man‘s mind. She might conjugate Latin verbs or tell me her young girl love affairs, as she had done sometimes with ringing laughter, but I must hear her voice again. Before April was over I had inâ€" stalled Mrs. Ellmer as careâ€" taker at Larkhall, and, with Ferguâ€" Buéon at my heels, had set out on my wanderings again. CHAPDER XL If I went away to appease the restlessness which had attacked me so suddenly to persuade mysel{ that the secret of happiness for me lay in never remaining long in the same place, I succeeded badly. 4 My heart went out to the child. Witlhh a passionate joy in the innoâ€" cent trust one little bhuman creature felt towards me, the outcast, I was on the point of telling her, ascareâ€" legsly as I fould, that I had not quite made up my mind yet, when #he broke the spell as unwittingly as she had woven it.

There was a period of each day which I found it vyery hard to get through ; whether in Paris, emjoying _ coffee _ and _ cigarette at a calfe on the boulevards, or in Norway, watching the sunset on some picturesque fiord, when the day began to wane, 1 grew restâ€" less. and, réferring aimlessly to my watch again and again, could settle down to nothing till the last rays of daylight had faded away. . % My four friends, when they join»d me for our yearly holiday, all de-l cided that something was wrong, but that was as far as they eould | agree.

In 1902 the highest average yield was obâ€" tained from sowing on September 2, 1901. pied one hundred anda eightyâ€"eight plots at the College, and six hundred and three plots throughout Ontario in 1902. On the whoe, the wheat came through the winter well, and the yield of both graim and straw was satisfactory. The weak strawed varieties were baily lodged, and, owâ€" ing to the wet weather, some of the grain was sprouted before it was harvested. The damage done by the Heesian fly was very slight, the plots at the Colloge being practicaliy Iree from the ravages of this insect in 1902. t Methods of Sowingâ€"Winter wheat which was sown broadcast by hand gave practically the same results as that which was drilled in by a machâ€" ine in the average results of tests made in each of eight years. The land was in a good state of cultivation in every instance. Varietiesâ€"Ninetyâ€"live varieties of winter wheat were grown at the Colâ€" lege this year. The ten varieties givâ€" ing the greatest yield of grain per acre, starting with the highest, were as foilows : Extra Early Windsor, Dawson‘s Golden Chaff, Imperial Amâ€" ber, Pedigree Genesee Giant, Prize taker, Economy *‘New Columbia, White Golden Cross, Early Ontario, and Johnson, The lxtra Early Windsor very closely resembles the Dawson‘s Golden Chaif rariety. Those varieties possessing the slilfest straw were the Dawson‘s Golden Chalf, Extra Early Windsor, Clawson Longberry, and American Bronuze, Quantities of Seedâ€"From â€" sowing one, one and oneâ€"half, and two bushâ€" els of winter wheat per acre for each of six years, average yields of 40.2" bushels, 43.3 bushels, and 43.9 bushâ€" els per acre, respectively, were obâ€" tained. _ As itwo varieties of wheat were used each year, these averages represent twelve distinct tests. The Copper Sulphate (Bluestoas) treatment consisted in soaking the soeed for twelve hours in a solution made by dissolving one pound of copâ€" per sulphate in 24 gallons of water, and then immersing the seed for five minutes in lime water made by slacking one pound of lime in 10 galâ€" lons of water. The hot water treatâ€" ment consisted in imme «ng the wheat for fifteen minutes in water at 132 degrees fahr. After each treatment, the grain was spread out and stirred oceasionally until dry enough to sow. Experiments have shown that the sprouting of wheat greatly injures it for geed purposes as well as for flour production. All of the varieties at the Coliege this season were more or less sprouted before they could be harâ€" vis.ed. Those varieties which sproutâ€" e the least were the Red Cross, Mcâ€" Pherson, Wisconsin Triumph, and Reâ€" lialle, and those which sprouted the most _ were the Pedigree Genesee tGlant, Early Arcadian, and Oregoun. Filtyâ€"zseven varieties were sprouted more thain the Da wsou‘s Go‘:den Chaff. The varieties without beards were sprouted as badly as those with beirds, anod the hard wheats were sprouted s@lightly more than the softer varieties The white wheats, as a class, bhowever, were aprouted much worse than the red varieties. A depitation of ten persons from the Dominion Millers‘® Association visâ€" ted the College during the past eumâ€" mer, and, after examining the differâ€" ent varieties ol winter wheat, reâ€" commended that the fo.lowing variâ€" eties be grown extensively in Ontario:; Red wheat, Michigan Amber and Tarâ€" key Red, and white wheat, Early Genâ€" esee Giant and Bulgarian. Selection of Seedâ€"The average reâ€" sults of six years‘ experiments show that larg», plump seed yielded seven bushels f ftyâ€"on> pounds of wheat per acre more than the shrunken seed ; and six bushels thirtyâ€"three pounds more than the small, plump secd.
