A clover sod on a- mod- erately light clay or sandy loam makes an ideal .,seed-bed for corn. We draw the manure right from the stable in winter and spread it on the corn and root ground,-at the rate of from 12 to 20 loads per acre accord- inn` to the richness of the. soil. Should the snow get too deep or the eld be a hillside `and liable to wash, the manuring part is deferred until the spring, when it is completed. By about the 15th of May there will be a nice rowth of grass on the sod eld. is we plow under, along with the manure about .four or live inches deep. This warms up the `soil, and gives the corn a good start. I ' ' V ' . If the `season is dry the ground is rolled with a heavy roller, and disked both ways until we get 3.

' 1 D An- what can you know of All- port? he asked quickly, thinking he could score a`. point by the question. More than you think. There's a subtle something in a woman's nat- ure a man can never understand, a something that enablesvher to under- stand the true feelings of her own heart. Up to a certain time in her life shemay believe that she is in love; then suddenly she awakens,- as it were, from a sort of dream state and realises that she has been amus- ing herself with_ shadows. Forgive me, Carl dear, if I have done you a wrong. Remember I was a 'rl-I am only a girl yet,--but some ow I seem to have come to a clearer under- standing of things, and! tell you again you and I would never be hap- py together. You- will soon meet some one elseyou will like far better than you have ever liked me. All this is mere.sentiment, he retorted with some warmth, and though it's far from my wish to of- fend you, I cannot help adding that it's twaddle. It's the sort of argu- ment that a woman always uses when she wants to throw over the man whose love she has won for the sake of another whom she thinks she likes better. But in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred she's wrong. I love you, Olivia, on my soul I do, and I ask you, plead to you, pray to you, to be true to me if ,you don t wish me to go to ruin.
