The man who heard It ( Hurled ; his eyes mut thono of Marguerite , and for some moments they remained HO each nturliiR at the other with the terror of the first Hiirpriso written on their luiRgard faces.

Slowly , with compressed lips , Mar- guorlto approached him. she went nearer and nearer ; and at laat. with a strong effort of will , laid a hand upon his arm. He stared again , and raised his face gazing nt her with a look of dumb , despairing appeal. "I wanted to see , " she said , huuklly "If yon were real , or whether you were a nightmare. You arc real you are a man oh , moat unmanly ! Oh , cow ard ! What am I to do ? Oh , what am I to do ? " "You urged mo to confess , " said a hollow voice , "but I had not sufllciont courage.

"You oh. you ! " "It was worse than Caesar's 'Et tu , Unite ! " Valdane was rallying his manhood. He had been terribly unnerved at the night of her. Dally , since ho parted from her In London , had ho haunted the old house , bond and heart filled on ly with the thought of that ono wom an. To look up and beheld her had to him only the realization of a dally dream. Now that the Unit foolIng - Ing of horror nnd Rliiiiiin was over , and bo stood so utterly condemned , It seemed as If , by comparhion , Ihoao lost few days had been full of radiant hope. It was ovor. Whnt remained lo him was the bitter humiliation of having to let Uornnrd Holwyn know of hla wrong-doing , und his exile from Marguerite forever. CHAPTER XVI. She hnd walked a few paces away from him ; now who ciuno back , and stood looking Into his face. "Oh , sny yon did not do It ! " she cried. "It would bo useless to suy so ; you know I did It , " ho returned mournful ly. "Yon remember mo ; 1 saw It In your eyes Jimt now. Yon called mo 'Val' as I taught yon to do In these old days. I stand convicted. I ask for no mercy. " "Mercy ! Did you Hhow mo mercy when I was helpless and In your power ? " she cried , a burning blush creeping Into hbr face. "Oh , to think of it all ! To think of how you used to deceive mo of how 1 used tote to " She hid her chocks with her hands. Ho wns blushing as deeply as she ; but ho struggled for self-control. "Oh , Marguerite. , you torture mo ! " ho said , with n groan. "And you nro not content that I am fallen so low ? Listen listen ! . The other day you urged mo to confess to atone ! It was not too Into for some poor sort of tonoment. I can sot you free ; and leanwhllc meanwhile" faltering thcro is something I would tell you. .Vlll . you hear me ? " "Yes , " she answered , weeping. "I vlll hear you. I do not want to bo un- nerclful. " She sat flown In the porch seat. Val- ane loaned against the pillar and bent iver her. "I should llko to toll you bore , " he aid , In a low tone "hero , where wo first met. What I want to say Is this there Is no need for you to punish no ; my punishment has overtaken me ilready. The retribution Is peculiarly ust and fitting. The woman I wrong ed so Is the woman I love. Do I In sult you by these words ? Hardly , eve is free to all. I love you as I never thought to love any woman with a love which nothing can tear from my heart. Is that not punish ment bitter enough that the ono woman I would make my wife should bo the woman whoso greatest sorrow Is the shadow tie that binds her to myself. " She shuddered. There was a fire of passion In his voice which terrified and astonished hor. "Seo , " ho said , "when I break that tie when that marriage of ours Is dis solved , I break my heart , too ! It Is a poor sort of atonement. Such as It Is , I lay It at your feet. " She could find no words In which to reply to him. A feeling of pity was stealing over hor. She knew the bit terness of a love that was not re turned. "I would give worlds , " ahe faltered presently , "for it to have been anyone ono else but you. But but " "But it was I , " ho said , "to my everlasting degradation. " There was silence , only broken by an occasional sob from Marguerite. A lark shot up into the sunny sky , and sang rapturously. The branches rus tled softly In the breeze ; and Valdano longed to prolong each minute that went by the last minute he should spend with her. At last she stirred. "I will go back again , " she said. There wore a few moments of hesita tion ; tlien wltn an effort she said "Good-by. " The pain scorned too great to bear. He leaned Imploringly over her as she sat.

There ivas no question about the unhappy hy pochondriac's jealousy.

London Ittitlrr unit CliiTsit Trade. The New Xeulnnd Dairyman pub lishes the following : During the courseof a brief visit to Now /ealand this month Mr. Gerrlt- son , of the firm of Messrs. Octzes and GurrltHon , favored us with some highly Interesting points In regard to the London trade and matters generally affecting the Industry. Mr. GorrltHon confirms an opinion expressed to us on several occasions before that the Danish butter Is not the model wo have to copy. On account of the Intense system of farming car ried on In Denmark , the consequent rich land and food produces a rich butter , which won't hold. Then the butter is dry worked , which also mili tates against its keeping properties. It goes off so quickly , Mr. Gorrltson says , that If it is held from ono week to an other it goes off In prlco at once. For this reason It is gent into the London market twice a week. The very best Danish , our readers will bo Interested to know , never competes against our own on the market as It Is all snapped up by the margarine factories , who must have the very finest article for blending purposes. It Is the second quality which goes to the market , soli ng practically on a par with colonial butter. In answer to a question whether our butter was being sold under Its true name or whether as we have been told It Is being sold as Danish or other makes , Mr. Gerrltsen says that there Is a certain amount of truth In the statement. Some New Zealand butter has been shipped home In casks and had brought excellent prices , but the cask trade , ho would remind ship pers , was only a very small one and there was not much handled In Lou- Jon. It only sells well when Danish butter is scarce , for perhaps a week or two , and then goes more to Man- cheater and the North of England , whore the bulk of the trade for Danish Is carried on. London shop keepers arc beginning to advertise colonial butter , exposing the boxes In their shop windows , and generally making what capital they can out of the Brit ish-colony sentiment. This has been mainly brought about by the keen competition on the London market. Asked as to how our butter com pared with Australian , Mr. Gerritsen said Australian was of a rather better quality , though there has been a great Improvement noticeable In New Zea land butter during the last two years. Here , Mr. Gerrltsen pointed out , wo depend too much on the weather to help us , while in Australia they have been forced to use artificial means to control temperatures , thus securing a more uniform quality. The quality of Canadian butter , Mr. Gerritsen noticed , was good , while It was a very uniform article. Only small and Irregular shipments were coming to London from the Argentine , the output from which place had not Jumped ahead as was at first expected. Mr. Gerritsen does not consider we arc cutting the American cheese out , though our cheese Is very good ; the Canadian article is certainly a fine one. American cheese Is not so good as It used to be , being generally acid cut. It is quite risky , Mr. Gerrltsen finds , handling American cheese in July and August , but their Juno made cheese Is very good and stands well. Asked as to what ho considered was necessary to secure improvement In our butter , ho replied that cleanliness In every branch of dairying from the cow to the finished article should bo the first principle , then came condition of cattle , purity of water supply both at farm and factory , scientific manufacture factureof the finished article and , a very Important point , uniformity of quality , which , Mr. Gcrrltsen believes , can only be secured by pasteurization. Greater care was necessary , he thought , In receiving milk at the fac tories , and In order that the necessary Improvement should be effected Inde pendent Inspectors ought to bo ap pointed. The condition of the milk as It was received at the factory waa a matter that should receive the strict est attention. Speaking of the far reaching effects of cattle drinking bad water , Mr. Gor- rltsen said ho had noticed In Holland , whore owing to the very low-lying land the surface water could not find an outlet , that great trouble had been caused by this stagnant water giving a bad flavor to the butter. Danish V.KK MetlmiU. Vlggo Schfartz , the Danish expert In egg packing , was some time ago taken to Ireland by the Irish Agricultural Organization Society to teach Erin's sons how to pack eggs , says National Provisloner. The Danish method of sorting and packing the eggs Is as fol lows : The eggs arc brought to the packing houses , and thcro they are graded to six sizes namely , from thirteen pounds to eighteen pounds per long hundred. It may be explained that eggs wefghlng two ounces each would scale at fifteen pounds per 120 , and this Is about the medium size. The men who are engaged In the work of packing have six boxes before them representing the different sizes. They use no board , as in France , and are simply guided by the eye. Each egg is Judged as to which slzo It Is nearest , and put into the box corresponding to the slzo. The system Is simple , and so skillful do the experts become that when 120 eggs arc taken out of the box as a test and put upon the scale they are rarely more than ono ounce out of the preaerlbed weight. If after ftie CKK nro uenled they arc much out , ho packers have to rc-aort them. Thu nolhod of packing eggs considered the lent IB In wood woo ) , and It Is nn tin- iloiibted fact that eggs graded and lacked In thla way sent from Ireland , hlcfly from the Mallow district , have boon able to oii-dlstnnco most suc cessfully eggs from the continent. MIoiMl The use of blood meal as a poultry food has received much comment of ale , but experience does not scorn to bo all one way. Recently the Farm ers' Rovlow asked some of Its readers to give an expression of their opinions ; is to Its value as a poultry food. From the repllcH received ono is naturally of the Impression that blood meal Is not ised very extensively as yet. We pub- ish the following : D. D. Oilman , Vcrmllllon county , Ill inois. Blood meal la all right if not fed too heavily. Most people overlook the fact that It Is very rich and there fore feed too much for good results. E. A. Schiller , Dodge County , Wis consin. I have fed blood meal for the last three years and It has given me good satisfaction , especially for young growing stock , If used with Judgment. S. F. Flint , Peorla County , Illinois. I have not used blood meal to any great extent , but what experience I have had with It Impressed mo favor ably with It as a convenient and use ful form of animal food for poultry. W. C. Mottler , Ford County , Illinois. I have had no experience with blood meal. The only meals that I have used arc beef meal and concentrated meal. How my young stock would thrive without It I do not know , as I have always fed It. I find It a great food for making hens lay , and my young ducks thrive on It to beat any thing. I have had them weigh from seven to olght pounds at three months old. I'lllcklllK Gceso. I consider the gathering and saving of their feathers the largest part of the profit In raising geese. I llko my geese to hatch out about the lost of April. At that time I pick the ganders of the flock ; the geese having lined their nests with feathers they are not in condition to be plucked. About the first of Juno the ganders are full-feath ered again and the geese are ready too , as you will begin to find loose feathers where they stay over night. Then In about seven weeks the gos lings are ready to be plucked with the old ones. Don't take the feathers off too bare , as the sun is hot at this sea son. By the last of September you will get a fine lot of good feathers again. If you keep the geese for the holiday market they are again ready In early November , but If the nights are cold drive them up and give them shelter. They will soon feather at this time of year , and at killing time you will get the finest crop of the year. Fasten them up In a stable having plenty of clean straw under them for half a day before you begin to pluck the feathers ; then they will bo dry and clean. Take a narrow strip of muslin , tie their feet together , lay them on their backs , tuck their wings under them , let an assist ant take hold of the head , and as soon as they are done struggling take hold of the feathers and with a quick jerk toward the head the feathers come very easily. Do not disturb the ones under the wings along the thigh , as this tuft holds up the wing , and If plucked the wings will droop. Corre spondence of Farm Journal. Illiiiit In Shut- ] ) . When sheep are first turned out on clover pasture , particularly If It is damp with rain or dow , or on rape , thcro Is likely to bo some trouble with bloating , and the first thing he knows the farmer may have fifteen or twenty sheep In a condition that demands Im mediate attention. Our manager was caught In that shape last year for the first time , says a contributor to Wal lace's Farmer. He relieved about twelve out of fifteen by making "a bit out of a limb of a tree , tying string to each end , pulling It as far back In the mouth as possible , and tying It tight over the sheep's head. It was not very comfortable for the sheep , but Ifo Is sweet even to a sheep and It an well afford to have a little un pleasant jaw exercise In order to re- ievo the stomach from a too luxurious banquet. It Is a postprandial exercise ivhlch is not so pleasant to the ordi nary sheep as It Is to the after dinner orator bloated with viands which Jaw exercise Is needed to relieve , but after nil It saves the sheep's life , and the nd of the sheep being to live until Its tlmo comes and then to dlo to the profit of Its owner , It Is the thing to : lo. Wo do not know how puncturing us in the case of cattle would work , but If taken In time and done properly this will work , and we do not care to suggest any other method of relief nt present , and the more so because wo do not care to suggest anything to the busy farmer that ho can not put Into practice immediately. Turkeys as Insect Destroyers. The natural habit of the turkey is to feed largely upon insects of Us own catch ing. We have many a time watched with much pleasure the advance of a flock of three of four old ones , and their flocks of young as they marched forward In line of battle , as is their custom , Into a pasture or stubble field where the grasshoppers had corno out in abundance. There was a beauty and a precision In their steady ad vance , and the perfection of their alignment , which was attractive to an old soldier , Independent of the knowl edge that his fields were being cleared of Insect pests , and the hoppers beIng - Ing rapidly converted Into turkey meat which would presently have a market value. Ex. T UIIM AffrlcuUunil 1'iltiMitlon 1'nyT S From Farmera' Re\lew : The col lege dairy finds that It does. Reforu the 1st of April , 1899 , the herdsman at tlio Kansas Agricultural College waa a man with no special ( .raining along agricultural lines. Ho was a good man to do what ho was told nnrt to draw his salary , but there his Interest ended. When naked how the recent snowstorm or change of feed affected the milk yield of his cows he didn't know , although he had weighed and recorded each milking. During this time the college was feeding four head of calves on skim-milk , and this herds man made them gain at the rate of 33 pounds per month per head , or 1.2 pounds per day. On the 1st of April a graduate of the college and a special student In dairying took up the work of herds man. He Is a man that is constantly on the alert for new developments. When milking a fresh cow ho can scarcely wait until the milk Is weighed In order to see If there Is a gain or loss from previous mllklngs. When the calves are weighed ho wants to know Immediatley how much they gained. With the same feeds at his command he made the four calves mentioned above gain an average of 53 pounds per head per month , or 1.8 pounds per day , an Increase of CO per V cent. This was done by carefully watching the calves ; the moment one of them began to scour ho saw It , re duced the supply of milk , gave a little castor oil , and In various other ways sought to bring It back to normal con dition. This was acompllshcd In about twenty-four hours , when the calf would keep on gaining at the rate of a pound and a half or two pounds per day.Yet Yet there are farmers who say that education don't pay , and that book learning Is a farce. There Is no pro fession In the universe that allows a greater display of intellect than farmIng - Ing , and nowhere Is It needed more in order to Increase the profits. The farmer Is called upon to solve ques tions In soil physics , In chemistry , botany any , entomology , bacteriology , veter inary siconce , mechanics and In fact can call Into play a knowledge of all the sciences and arts. To do this he must be educated. This education not only makes him a better farmer , but makes his work a pleasure. No ono who has not experienced it can ap preciate the satisfaction that comes from seeing a plant , an Insect , a birder or an animal of any kind , and to bo able to name It , tell something of Its life history , and especially to know of its economic value to the farmer. Such education helps the farmer to reallzo the dignity of his calling , and helps to place bis profession In the front rank of the world's Industries , where It be longs. Treatment of Itun Down 1'uHtiiros. Experiments have been undertaken j , by Mr. Jared Smith of the department of agriculture at two points In Texas to determine the most practical and economical manner of treating natural pastures which have become largely run down through overstocking , so as to again cover them with native grasses or better species from other regions. Plats of pasture have been disked , drflczert with an ordinary har- row and pastured alternately , allowing grasses a short period for recovery after each grazing , and compared with plats grazed in the ordinary way. During succeeding seasons experiments will be made with sowing alfalfa , sorghum , bokhara clover and other forage plants directly on the sod with out further treatment than to keep the stock off during the first year. In order to be practicable , very Inexpen sive treatment must be employed. These treatments will bo carried on at least three years , at the end of which time definite results are hoped for which will enable stockmen to decide the best method of restoring the pas tures which are now generally depre ciated. Commercial Fertilizers In Michigan. The use of commercial fertilizers is steadily Increasing In the state. Con siderable knowledge Is required In or der to buy Just such Ingredients aa are lacking in the soil and as are best adapted for promoting growth in certain plants. Their use will of necessity be limited to the older portions tions of the state for some time to . , come. Many farmers throughout the -A ' state have found the use of these fer tilizers profitable. It is a subject worthy of Investigation , and many farmers would do well to conduct ex periments of their own along this lino. Careful work of this kind could bo done with much profit at a slight cost. The per cent of farmers that use com mercial fertilizers Is , in the southern counties 10 , in the central counties 4 , in the northern counties 1 , and for the state 7. Michigan Crop Report. A Big Pig. What Is said to ho the largest pig over ralred was recently slaughtered In Now York. The ani mal was a Jersey Red boar two and n half years old , weighing nllvo 1,609 pounds. The hugo swlno measured over nine feet from tip of Its nose to the cud of its tall. It measures two and a half feet across the loin , two and a half feet across the hams , and six foot In girth. This makes the hog three foot through. It Is split at the shoulder , and to look Into the carcase Is like looking into the crevice of a cavern. National Provlsloner. Vermont Horses. For many years Vermont has taken a leading position In the breeding of line horses. Who has not heard of her Morgans , her Highland Grays aud her Dlacklmwka ? Probably no more valuable strain of blood can bo found In this country than the descendants of old Justin Morgan. Their usual lack of slzo is more than made up In quality. Ex.
