Tho Domlnlo used to complain some
times about tbo character of tho storloa
tho rest of us told. Ho said thoy wore
too economical In their uso of tho olo-
ment of truth. And truth was bo
cheap, and also bo Interesting, he
would say. Wo wero always ready to
admit that It was interesting, but were
not so free to acknowledge) its cheap
ness. Llko otlior exotics It seemed to
us expenslvo. Fiction, being so much
raoro easily produced, appeared to be
tho truo mental provondor in tho Corn
Cob Club, a social institution whero
wo decided questions of great pith and
moment by the aid of tho civilizing
and ennobling Influcnco of tobacco in
cinerated In cob-pipes. Tho Dominie
had quit smoking when ho entered the
ministry, but he always said tbo cobs
smelt good, so we bad hopes of his
reclamation; besides, tho air was usu
ally so thick that ho absorbed enough
to bring him up, in a largo measure,
to tho high philosophic pluno occupied
by tho rest of us.
It happened on Christmas Evo that
somebody told a story appropriate
enough to tho season rar aa tho sub
Ject went, but palpably lmpossiblo con
tildernd as a happening. At least tho
Domlnlo snld It was, and threatened to
toll a Christmas story himself; and
" being counseled by tbo Professor, who
was classical in bis Inngungo, to "blazo
away," tho good man compiled as follows:
Thero used to bo a young man
named Stanwlx who was rector of a
church at a little town in Now Jersey
called Appleburg. Very nmlablo young
man, not long in tho ministry, and un
married. Nice-looking chap, too, and
a bright fellow, but bo had his trials
at Appleburg. Mainly it was tho wo
menthey thought bo ought to marry,
and of course they wero right But
thinking so wasn't enough for those
dear Appleburg ladles; with tho truo
feminine dcslro to help they resolved
to sco that ho did marry. But hero
ugaln they showed a universal femi
nine trait by refusing to comblno and
work together. Thoy all labored hard
enough, but Independently, and each
with a view to inducing tho minister
to marry a different woman.
It had been going on thus for somo
months when Christmas approached.
Now of courso there isn't much you
can glvo any man for Christmas slip-
"WHY DON'T YOU GET MARRIED?"
pers and pipes and shot-guns and slip
pers. And in the caso of a parson it's
still worse you've got to drop off tho
pipes and shotguns, leaving only slip
pers and slippers. Of courso thero aro
book-marks and easy chairs, but tho
first aro trivial and tho latter expen
sive; besides, if bo is unmarried ana
you arc of tho opposite sex, and In tho
samo stato, yon will sco that you ought
to give him something made with your
own fair hands, and you can't make an
easy chair. So slippers it had to bo
for tho Rov. M. Stanwlx, especially
after his landlady bad been sounded
on tho subject and reported that tho
poor man didn't havo a slipper to hla
namo.
Well, tho result was, of course, that
the wholo hundred and thirty-six mar
riageable ladles at Appleburg went to
work on slippers; and a fow of tho
flock who already had husbands also
began slippers, out of tho goodness of
their hearts, probably, or maybe think
ing that they might bo widows some
day and might as well havo a pair to
their credit. Tho slaughter of plush
and embroidery materials was some
thing cyclonic, and tho local shoo
makcr had to sit up nights pegging on
soles. Even unfortunato Uttlo Jano
Wilkinson wont at a pair hammer and
tongs, though overybody said she
hadn't n ghost of a show. In tho first
place Jano was too young her older
sister Katharine was conceded to have
a right to enter for tho contest, but it
was universally held that Jane had no
right to compete at all. Besides bo
ing too young sbo wns really nlnetcon
or twonty Bho was also plain. She
might have a certain girlish prcttlness,
but not tho beauty which tho wifo of
so bandeomo a shepherd as the Rev.
Mr. Stanwlx should have. Further
more, Jane waajn no other way adapt
ed for tho position she had been a
good deal of a tomboy, and was yot, for
that matter; she was frivolous and
careless, and was always putting her
foot in it. The first tlmo tho pastor
had called at the Wilkinson house,
and while Kathorlno was entertaining
him in tho parlor in the most ap
proved and circumspect manner, Jano
had blundered In, and insido of five
minutes asked him wh'y ho didn't get
married all tho girls said ho ought
to. Jano had explainod to overybody
that sho meant it as a Joke, but it haa
generally been pronounced ill-timed
and In bad tasto.
But poor Jano kopt working away on
her slippers regardless of tho talk
Everybody said that Jano's slippers
wouldn't fit, or that thoy would both
bo for one foot, or that Bho would get
tho hoels sewed on, tho toe end, or
something. Jano Anally put on tho
finishing touchM andthen packed them
In a pasteboard boi and tied it with
plnl: ribbon. v
Then she got her pthcr Christmas
presents ready, Sho had a lot of hsnd
korcnlcfs for an aunt, and, a shopping
bag for a married sister, and a Uttlo
knit shnwl for her grandmother, and
a pair of skates for a boy cousin, and
various other things for divers other
persons, including a flno meerschaum
pipe and a pound of bis favorite smok
ing tobacco for her brother who was
at college and who wouldu't bo homo
till Now Year's. Each thing Bho care
fully put up in a box or bundlo and
laid it awuy.
Tt.o day beforo Christmas was n
novur-to-bo-forgottcn tlmo for tbo
Rov. Mr. Stanwlx. Slippers Just came
down on him llko an Egyptian plague.
Along about four o'clock Stanwlx
got crowded out of bis room slippers
piled half way to tbo celling and had
to put n chair out In tho hall and sit
thoro with an atlas of tho world in his
lap writing his Christmas sermon on
it Mighty tough sermon it was, too,
and got tougher as the slippers contin
ued to arrive. Fact is, ho was getting
pretty mad; and every new pair sent
his tompcrature up flvo degrees. Con'
sequcntly, nt ten o'clock ho was just
boiling. Of courso he couldn't swear,
but tho way ho tramped up and down
that ball and ground his teeth really
amounted to tho samo thing. Tho
arriving slippers now bsgan to fall oft.
For ten minutes nothing camo, and ho
was just starting down to ask tho
landlady if sho couldn't put a cot In
tho hall so ho could go to bed, when
in camo another box. It was from
Jano Just her luck, of course, to bo
lato and strike him when ho was all
worked up to tho bursting point But
let us draw a veil over tho sccno right
hero and leave tho poor man alone as
ho opens Jane's box.
It was not moro than bait-past nine
the next morning when the Rev. Mr.
Stanwlx mounted tho Wilkinson steps
and tugged at tho door bell. Ho asked
for Jano. It seemed rather queer, but
thoy ushered him Into the parlor and 1
sent Jano in. Well, to mako a long I
story short, it wasn't ten minutes
until ho bad tho thing all fixed up. Ho
had bis chair drawn closo up bcsldo
her end of tho sofa.
"Jane," ho was saying, "I've loved
you ever sinco tho first day I saw you,
but I never knew it until I opened
your box."
"Then you liked them, did youT.
I'm so glad," murmured Jano.
' "I should say I did! Why, It's one
of tho finest meerschaums I ever saw,
and that tobacco used to be rayfavor
lto brand at college But, Jane, bow
did you know I used to smoke, and
was dying to begin again?"
Jane had stopped breathing at tho
word meerschaum. Now she caught

her breath, and for onco in her life
rose to tho occasion and didn't put nor

blm and smiled demurely.
"Oh, I guessed It," Bho said.
"It was tho best guess you ever
mado. I should havo died last night
amidst that awful landslide of slippers
If I hadn't smoked about half of that
tobacco. I mesn to keep on smoking
now that is, if you don't object,

In tho various books of veterinary
medicine published In this country wo
iro told that "flukes" nro a rnro occur
rence in tho livers of our animals. In
ICuropo flukes nro often bo common In
tho llvi rs of sheep as to product) a fa
tal dlsiaso known as "rot" or "liver
tot" and tho disease sometimes deci
mates 1,'rcnt Hocks. Tho llukn Is a par
tislto of tho trcmatodn family and hns
ono of tbo most Interesting life his
tories known. It pnnses out of tho
body of the sheep In tho form of nn
egg which, nftor dropping upon tho
ground or Into water, tnkes on a now
form termed a "ciliated ombryo." This
form hns hairs which cnablo It to
swim about and look for Its next host,
which Is tho water slug or snail, Into
tbo body of which it penetrates by
means of a special apparatus Intended
for boring. Should It not find a snail
within two days after leaving tho
sheep It dies. On gaining access to a
snail It takes on a now form in tho
respiratory organs of its host. It be
comes encysted, contracting into nn
oval mass which grows rapidly. At
this stage it is called a "sporocyst"
This sporocyst splits up Into from flvo
to eight bodies, called "rcdlac," which
aro of small sizo and lcavo tbo cyst

of them, develop within thomsolvca fif
teen to twenty "corcarlac," which aro
thrust out In turn through nn orlflco
under tbo neck of tbo rcdlae. Theso

wanderings. After a short tlmo they

nlmal, the gastric Julco acting upon It

uung flukes in tho stomach and duo
cnum, from which thoy reach tho bl-
pry ducts and pass up them to tho
ver whero thoy grow into adult hor-
aphrodlto parasites ablo to give orl-
n to another generation of young. At
llast soventy-flvo young flukes under
Giltablo circumstances may develop
f Am a slnglo egg. Tho technical name
ol tho fluko 13 "dlstoma hypatlcum"
and It la shaped llko a leech or small
leif. In this country we begin to And
thtrn and it will soon becomo appar
ent that they are not so raro as the
boiks would mako It appear. Tho wrl
tonrccently received a number of speci
mens fijom Mexican sheep and the gov
ernment inspectors find them now and
then J tho lungs and llvors of Texas
and other southern cattle. It is
claimcj that the fluko Is not a native
of thu country but that whero It Is
found t has como to us In sheep from
other countries. This is erroneous, for
the flop of tho Mexican shcop Is much
smaller than that so commonly found
In theshcop of Great Britain. Wo bo
Hovo that tbo flukes found In our
Bhceparo originated in this country
and Ud not como to us from abroad.
Wo 'Jtko this ground for tho reason
that .a few days ago wo mado a post
mortem examination of a deer shot in
tho Aroods of northern Wisconsin, and
to ojr surprlso found a number of very
large flukes encysted in tho liver. On
inquiry wo found that tho liver of
ovcijr adult deer shot In Wisconsin
contains these flukes which tho hun
ters call leeches. Unliko tho flukes
of sheep they aro fpund not In tho
ducts of tho liver but In colonies of
two to four located In cysta which sep
arate them from tho tissues of tho liv
er. The cysts are filled with a dark,
offenslvo smelling liquor which ren
ders tho liver unfit for uso although
most hunters havo failed to nottco tho
flukes, hence uso tho liver for food. It
may bo added that after tho flukes
wero pointed out and set freo from
their surrounding filth that spectators
vowed thoy would never again cat tbo
liver of an adult deer. Thero Is no
danger of sheep becoming Invaded by
this giant fluko of deer, which Is two
and ono-half Inches in length and
known aa "faclola hypatlcum," or "f.
maqua." Deer apparently suffor Uttlo
from its prcsonco and do not show
signs of It until at least ono year old.
Whero flukes aro found In tho liver of
sheep not Imported from Europe wo
think tho variety present Is "dlstoma
lanceolatum," and this fluko is less
harmful than "d. hypatlcum" of Brit
ish sheep. Tho latter lluko may bo
present in thousands in tho ducts of a
slnglo liver and in that caso sots up a
dlseaso of tbo liver which at first leads
to rapid fattening and later to as
speedy emaciation.

This year ronowed interest has been
shown in tho growing of alfalfa in
Illinois. Hero and thoro aro farmers
that Bowed alfalfa seed In tho spring
of 1000 and this year mowod three and
even four succcsslvo crops, gottlng
from four to eight tons of alfalfa bay
per aero in tho aggrcgato. Of courso
this yield really represents tho prod
ucts of two seasons tho season of
1900 and 1901, and tho tonnage will
havo to bo divided by two to get the
annual yield. This will glvo from two
to four tons as tho annual yields per
acre. Thero aro somo farmers that
seem to hold tho opinion that tho fow
marked successes this year prove con
clusively that alfalfa is tho coming
great hay crop for this section. This
opinion may provo to bo correct, but
ubout two moro years will bo required
to demonstrnto it Judging tho future
by tbo past tho second year's crop of
alfalfa In Illinois is not so uard to
got as tho third and fourth years'
crops. About a dozen years ago a
farmer living in tbo edgo of tho city
of Champaign succeeded admirably In
growing alfalfa. Ills second year's
crops totnlcdMip olght or ton tons
to tho ncro. Ho wrote cxtonslvoly of
his alfalfa field and thereby stltnulttcd
others to bow alfalfa seed. Ho bad
unbounded confldonco In It hlmsolf.
Later ho coasou to write, and his al
falfa field dropped from public notice.
Last week nn old resident of Chnm
palgn told tbo writer tho Boqucl to tho
alfalfa story told bo long ago. In tho
third year only n fow Bcattorcd tufts

falfa wns "as pretty a blue grass pas

nlfalfa Holds In Illinois havo gone tho
samo way. In tho case of tho crop In

All peach lovers who have tho ben
efit of Chicago markets know that a
treat has arrived when tho Georgia
peaches como, for tho orchards of that
stato furnish fruit that Is unexcelled
by tho product of any other Btnto. Fow

I dustry. It began about twenty years
ago in tuo experimental orchard of
Mr. Rumpt of Marshallvllle, Ga. The
success that attended his venture at
tracted tho attention of Northern fruit
growers, among othors Mr. J. II. Halo
of Connecticut, who invested on his
own account with such prolltablo re
turns that ho has extended his orch
ards until ho has bocomo n king in
pcacb growing. Tho smnll farmers of
Northern Georgia havo profited by tho
lesson and taken up commercial peach
growing to supplement tho returns
from their field crops.' Theso small
' growers havo benefitted by the trans
portation rates wTtlch tho largo grow
ers havo combined to sccuro, and are
ablo to dlsposo of their comparatively
small output to good advantage through
the brokers that havo been attracted by
tho big orchards. It Is ploasant to
know that tho peach kings display a
friendly and helpful spirit towards the
small growers and assist them In all
reasonable ways. Tho small orchards
average from 2,000 to 5,000 trees.

At most farmers' conventions during
recent years, the permanent pasture
has been cither Ignored or condemned.
Tho pasturo that can tuko lta placo
In tho rotntlon has como to bo, quite
Hcnornlly coufildercd aa tho only prollt
nblo ono for tho advanced farmer.
Somo of our best dairymen dcclaro
It does not pay to pasturo land worth
T100 per ncro, nnd that tho returns
In feed from tho pormunont pasturngo
nro too small to .bo considered. Mr.
(lurlcr, who raises' enough food on ono
aero to moro than Biipport a cow a
year certainly nconm to have tho argu
ment on his ctdo when ho declares that
ho cannot afford to pasturo his land.
But nt tho convention of Illinois
Llvo Stock IJreedoru last wcok, Pro
fessor Curtlss.of tho Iowa Agricultural
College, declared very emphatically In
favor of tho permanent pasture. Ho
declared that boot could bo mado
cheaper on grass than on anything
else, Tho pastures should recolvo reg
ular attention ovory yenr, as hluo graou
pastures havo a tendency to run out
If grazed constantly. Tho best pas
turo land Is that that haa novor Boon
a plow. Ho recited tho fact that Eng
lish pastures nro allowed to remain
In grass for hundreds of years. Ho
ronows his pastures by disking and
harrowing whenever tho land seems
to roqulro It Thin work Is dono In tho
spring as soon an tho front Is out of
tho ground.
It was urged by other men present
that theso old pastures sometimes got
too rich with tho droppings from suc
ccsslvo gonoratlona of animals. Mr.
S. N. King said that ho bad a pasture
that had not bcon disturbed for thlr-ty-flvo
years, and during thnt tlmo has
received tho nmtiuro from cattle, hor
ses, Bhoop and swine. In somo places
now tho grass Is left untouched, and
tho cattlo will not cat it oven if it la
cut and dried. Ho hnd formed tho
opinion that tbo land la too rich and
should bo plowed up. Mr. McCutchon
said ho had had a pasturo that acted
that way, and ho had ovcrcomo tho
difficulty by going over It with a disk
nnd harrow.
Iowa conditions mny differ osson
tlally from thoso In Illinois, but such
Is probably not tho case. Whether
tho pormnnont pasturo bo profitable
or not, It is certainly In ovldonce on
every hand. For tho most part, the
permanent pasture is tho most neglect
ed lnnd on tho farm. Professor Curtlss
could not havo had tho avorago pas
turo In mind when ho declared It prof
itable. Doubtless tho permanent pas
turo that makes part of his theory
is ono bo well cared for that each acre
will glvo 3G5 days' feca In a year. Such
a pasturo may bo profitable, even on
hlgh-prlccd land.
