One afteinoon sno came and tO(d in the door of her house, with bare head and arms akimbo. She list ened, muttering to lit" self; lor .she fa let! to hear a certain dull roar that till the nioinmg had reverberated through the woods about her lrnne. It -was m the month ol June and at the hour of MinsHt; but neither significant fact could make this person or place cliainiing. Kven in a, ro3' light, tho hens that scratched about the ileseiled jiegio quarters were disicputnhlc-look-111'' old fowls.

She put it on at once ami struck oil into the woods, at fir.st following a beaten path, then, halting at the sound of voices that hcenicd to be approaching, she strode ofl" azam at a cross-cut through the uu deibitish. Her ga't was like a man's, and no feminine finery impeded her limbs. A scanty, dark skirt cleared her ankles and showed her strong, leather Bhoes; a small shawl was crossed hand-' kerchiof-wise over her breast and tied behind, loaviug her arms free to hold back the bushes that came in her wa3. She continued muttering, and the words uudibic now and then wcic lough ones; the mildest were of "Yankee cusses;" the harshest well.

Tom. the old negro, hidden in the woods, had limped back nnd forth to brTTI5-ier reports, always con ucd and contra-Peton'. Not that she cared much, in one way, how mat- tcrs went. The worst had happened for her: that six-foot Virginian llich was her country, her wor.d: and she had lost him! Her passion for ven- ceance was not crcater than her grief: although it was a certain satisfaction to . . . . ...-'? her to know that scores of Northern mothers' so?s lav dead. On she went through the woods, out on a lonely road, a mile or so along it, across another patch of forest, then along its edge where it skirted the highway. The sun was now down, but it was 3 et light. She saw many strag glers, heard there had been a brief, indecisive fight, with small loss on eilher side. She did not show herself. Indeed, she had no definite object in view: she had not thought to find her son among the dead. Sometimes she . C . - questioned wounded Uontederate sol- diers. hoping for news of him or his comrades: but to-day she heard that the woncded had been carried away off vthe field. Stopping in the thicket, a "art distance from the s?ene of action, felt no curiosity to go further. The ii' nfitaiis were familiar bv 1 bliitfffrirti PCS' 1M 03 BEAST. I A MONTH!

She brought from the house a flask ; of brand v. aud finally drove awav. I'iking off tho negro in a state of aston ishment no words could describe. She chose a short cut b- a near and not frequented lane toward the highway. Yes she answered, grufllv. 'Do I 'pear to be h'ing?" The task she had undertaken might not be cas3. but difiiculties made Deb deliant. At the first jolt of the old cart the vonnir man ceased to speak and soonceased to groan. Thev met sev I eral people along tho road, some known ' to Deb; thev talked together of tho , day's events, and Deb's own rhetoric , was variegated to correspond with tneir profamtv'.

That it is not universu'by proporly understood is shown by tho doubt sometimes fxprc-sed by dairy 1 men of long experience that the food i lias aii3' effect upon the qua'itv of milk. a statement who.-e erroneousness can j be eisily established. Nature, in the i construction of an animal, mu-t lay the foundation for a hue quality of beef. I We cannot make a spring chicken out of an antiquated rooster, whatever wo niav fet.(l im ,n aud wc canm-t ma'-.o sweot, juity beef out of an annual that nature never in'ended to produce such meat. Hut, with a good foundation and with good feed, wc accomplish ihe de sired result. In the selection of tho kind of lood its digestibilitv is tho fir-t thing to be taken into consideration, the reasons for wh eh wo need hardly stop t ) explain, simpiv ! iting that the "ore digestible a food is. the better it is. In the next place it will be neces- san to remember that cnaree fodders, roduced under dilTorciit circum stances and in dil!crcnt locations, are not always chenrcnllv the same. Soil of natural qualitv and fertility, for instance, will have a very marked influence upon the chemical properties of coarse fodder. Tharaud made an analysis of hav- from a ma nured meadow, and of tho same kind of hay from one ha was unmanured, finding in the first, twelve per ctnt. of protean and from the second only nino ner cent. Moekorn analyzed rank plants of wheat, bar.cv, oats and ive at the beginning of Towering, ami found J to COUCllitie mat o uo lliass, ui uuit-i, or anv other y.iriet3' is the mo-t perfect kind of coarse tood, simplv be au-e they are what thev are. The conditions tin der which tluy arc grown must bo taken into coiiidciation, and the lesson learned that the. most j erfee' grasses arc produced upon the best soils. Un der such circumstance-, all of the grass es commonly crown are g od for tho production of beef, and if some am superior to others but will not do well on our SOlI or III our climate is is others, wo must adopt the best under the circumstances and submit to tho disadvantages. The mode of curing hay has a vast deal to do with its digestibility and nutritive properties. 11 Mweciy neeu be sngcosted that the younger and moro tender a fodder ik, the smaller general Iv is the percentage of crude fiber, and tho more digestible the crude fiber is. This certainly appeals to the judgment, and if it d d not. experiment has dem onstrated it. Yet it is a lact that ninny persist in cutting grasses long after they have obtained a reasonable ma turity, and, what is more. the3' argue that it is host to do so The same proc ess of reasoning would otabl sh in a dying tree more vitiditi' than athrift3, growing tree i obsesses. After cutting, the grass is frequently cured to death, a large portion of its value dried and burnt out of it. Grass never should bo allowed to dry a moment longer or to a degree further than is absolutely nec essary to insure its preservation. It is not only a waste of time to do more than this, but it is a waste of nutritive ' material. Western Jlttrul. Fruit Trees for Ornament- Can any one tell me why a grape vine is not a suitable ornament for a front porch, or what would be the ob jection to a fine standard pear or grand wide spreading apple tree in the lawn? Was ever a blossoming shade tree more beautiful than either of thess when the flowers come out? and is not the r.ch green of the leaves a thing of beauty a.l Thc tpvon' AVhen tho ournlo clusters 1.1c season, iv nintnc purpie ciusurs hang thick on the vine, and the red ao- files and juicy pears shine through the caves in autumn, it certain'y could not ta-e anything from the beauty of the ' scene. Whea one has but little space, ! a3 in a village lot, could not the use.'ul aad ornamental be prcfitablv combined S by putting in handsome fru.t trees in the place of those designed on'v for shade? and a pretty dwarf pear or two 1 yvould look well among the shrubbery, j A row of vounc cherries beforo a fine t house with a mrmr-iiillnrvjl mirch ?

It is asserted that much of the failure in securing uniform crops of wheat i as often the result of too deep dn'bng in the seed as from other causes Thc what plant has two sets of roots, one at the turface or near it. and nnothei at ihe grain. If these roots are at a distance apart, as they must be if thc grain is deep sown, aud light spring rain are followed 13' .sudden freezes a not uncommon occurrence thelift-ngof thc plant b3 thc soil will sever the connec Hon between the two roots, aud the wueat plant dies. Long cv-permieut has seemed to settle two thing, that wheat ground must be made vey line, and verv solid, to prevent as far a possible this heaving of the soiL This solidity acts in two ways, keeps the drill hoes from running too deep and reta'ns moisture longer than loo'e s iil. So far as the preparation of the soil in fluences thc grow th of the wheat, it is upon the side of deep breaking of the soil and thorough pulvcr zation. But two things must be avoided in even this, theihrow:ng of thc raw, tinwork ed earth from below oa top; and when fined and made thoroughly mellow, again compressing it so as to hold moisture. The old idea of plowing deep for corn and shallow for wheat is radically wrong, for the roots of each do not mar the surface, an J at th":? Sioint the fertilizers should be applied, mt at the same time thc stirring of the soil should be ibep to hold and retain moiture. Iep breaking of thc soil not ueen plowing reduces the water level of "plow lanls and in part arts as nrd,.i-drain-io-e without wh-ch in some "CU(-u'n'l2e; wur.otii wn en. in somt. farms the cultivat.on of wheat must often result in failure. - Ckcvcland BeraUl.
