H. llinds, Stanton, Mich” who is selecting the Shorthorns for the dairy cow demonstration at the St. Louis Exposition, is desirous of getâ€" iting in communication with the own- ers of the best dairy Shorthorn cows in Canada, and for that purpose has written Mr. F. W'. l-lodson, Live Stock Commissioner,-Ottawa, for information regarding the best method of achiev- He writes: “I am ex- ceedingly anxious to locate some of. the best specimens of dual purpose Shorthorn cows in existence for the purpose of securing them to enter in the dairy demonstration to be held at the St. Louis \Vorld’s Fair of next year. I am aware that our Canadian friends have many specimens of this type of Sliorthorns, and am hoping and expecting to receive very valuâ€" able assistance from our friends across the border‘. At the Columbian World’s Fair of 1893 we had some very fine ‘cows from Canada that were selected by a committee of your Shorthom Breeders’ Association, and were brought out under the auspices of the Canadian Government. I am opening correspondence with many of your breeders, and desire your very able co-operation and assistance in securing a few cows for this demonstration from the Dominion. I think the committee of the Canadian Shorthorn Herd Boojk iAssociation is already moving in this matter. Of course. should we secure some cows from Canada, and I think no doubt we will, the record of their performance would go into the aggre- gate of the very creditable showing that the Dominion will undoubtedny :make in the live stock exhibition at; St. Louis next year.” Breeders who have cows of the sort described by Mr. Hinds, and who are willing to allow their animals to go to St. Louis. should at once open cor- respondence with that gentleman at the address given above. Effect of Mulching Vegetables. Mulches cause some vegetables to mature later, while with others no de- Tlay was noticed. Late spring and early; fall frosts injure mulched plants more than cultivated ones, making it inâ€" advisable to mulch very tender vege~ tables that require the whole season for " proper development. Early spring vege- tables, Which require only a few eul- tivations, can usually be grown more cheaply by cultivation than by mulchâ€" ing. Furthermore, very early mulch- ing, before the ground has become thoroughly warm, is apt to retard the growth of vegetables. Summer and fall vegetables, on the other hand, which require frequent cultivation throughout the season, are grown more cheaply by mulching than culâ€" tivation. Moreover. the yield and quality of vegetables are often im- proved by mulching. Many vegetables cannot be niulched until they have become well establish- ed and the weather has become warm, thus requiring some preliminary cul- tivation. Such cultivation as is com- monly givenfarm-gardens is better for most vegetables in early spring than mulching. but mulching is just as surely better in midsummer than the neglect which is the common thing in‘ farm gardens at that time of year. The Nebraska Experiment Station tests have, indeed, shown mulching to be better in many cases than the most thorough cultivation throughout the summer. Results very favorable to mulching have been secured with cab~ liage. tomatoes, beans. cucumbers, poâ€" tatoes and sweet potatoes. In all these cases the yields have been in- creased, on the whole. quite decidedâ€" ly by mulching, and the required la- "lmr decreased at the same time. Mulch- ed cabbage produced larger heads than cultivated cabbage, and there was less injury from rot. The vigor of tomaâ€" to plants was decreased by mulching, but the yield of fruit increased. The fruit was also cleaner and less subject to rot. Mulched cucumbers produced perfect fruits duringr dry periods, when the fruit from the cultivated plants were small and imperfect. The quali- ty of potatoes has not been hurt by“ mulching, except in wet places. In case of transplanted onions. salâ€" -sifv, beets, carrots. parsnips, peas and melons the results are not decidedly in favor of either of the two methods, 'lioth the yields and the required labor being about the same. From recent it is thought unwise to mulch drilled onions. lettuce and sweet corn. "‘uVith drilled onions, the stand 05 plants is usually hurt by mulching. ‘Wirh lettuce it is also difficult to spread the mulch without injury to the stand, nail the crop is harvested so early that it is not worth while to mulch. With sweet corn the yields are about the normal season whether 'rnulchcd or cultivated. but ihi» crop requires so few cultivations that ‘Ei‘llcll- ing is hardly profitable.

Young and bashful Hen Jenny Hicks were stun pg on 913' posite sides of the fence that 911'- closed the Dem farm. Jenny‘s elboWs were on the top rail, and her chin was in the palms of her hands. Henry was standing 3. little off, wistfully but mod- estly contemplating his pretty little neighbor. “Jenny,” he said, "have y’ heard y’re pap say how his potatoes air comin’ out this car?" “T e ’1‘e all little and mighty few in a. hill, enii'y." Henry put out one hand and rested it on the top rail very near Jenny’s elbow. “Ours is retty' good,” he said. “‘Reckon we’ll' ve a fair crop of ’em.” «I hope y, will.” Henry put. his other. hand on the roll. His position was face to face with Jenny, his hands enclosing her elbows. "Air y’ afcerd of fallin’ backward?" she asked. "Wall, dt/s kind 0’ hum y underfoot here. A plowed field’s no place to stand ’thout holdin’ on tor somep’n.” Notwithstanding Jenny’s covert. int‘l. motion that: Henry was edging rather close she stood her ground. “ ey say Mabel Haines is argodn’ to be married,’ she remarked. ‘ “le, that’s naterl.

Henry continued to pull himself for- wardnt in't-enrals, each time drawing a. trifle nearer to Jenny’s face. “Y’ better stop that,” she said. “Why?” “'Oa’use'II Although Jenny spoke very mildl , she frightened the bashful swaini. e leaned as far back as his arms would let him and looked at her dubiously. He saw no encouragement It did not occur to him that Jenny might stand further from the fence. But. Jenny’s. mild ad- monition was her only effort to prevent him touching her rosy lips with his whenever he had mustered the necessary courage. "Jenny," he said, “I b’lievo y’re “1 g cte-erd I oin’ to kiss y’.” “No, I ain’t. Y’ wouldn’t dare do that.” “Would y’ mind?" “Henry Dom, y’ jis‘t stop talkin’ ’bout sich things.” Henry started. He wondered how he could have been so bold. He let, go his hold on the fence and stood back. “Our Ibrindle cow,” he said, “had a. calf last night.” To this bit of information Jenny made no reply. She dropped her arms on to the top rail and looked far beyond the easily discouraged Hem-y. “Y’rc mad at me fer talkin’ about kissin’ y’,” be said. “I ain’t m'ad about, y’re talkin’ about kissin’ me,” she replied. “Y’re mad from somep’n. I reckoned that. was it.” “What y’ say 7” Henry repeated. “Oh, y’re standin’ couldn’t. hear y’.” Henry pondered upon this remark, and a. glimmer of encouragement peneâ€" tiiated his sluggish brain. He approached the fence, and after a few irrelevant re- mm‘ks put his hands on the rail again, enclosing Jenny’s round arms, though his were unbeut, keeping him at a dis- tance from the lips lie coveted. “If y’ think y’ kin drive me away from. this fence,” she said, “y'-re mighty mistaken.” “I ain’t a-tryin’.” Henry began a process of swinging backward and forward. Several times Yic approached within a few inches of her lips. She neither moved nor spoke. Finally the temptation was too great for him, and as a bit. of metal placed too close to a magnet will suddenly click ig'ainst, it, he got. within an irresistible rttraction and their lips met. Henry so far away I drew back, abashed. “That was an accident,” he said. “I wouldn’t ’a’ done it. fer a quarter sec~ tion 0’ land if 1 could ’a’ helped it.” “And I wouldn’t. ’a’ had y’ done it for another quarter section,” replied the girl, coloring. “D’ye think I want any-t body to kiss me as feels that a-wa-y?” “Air y’ goin’ to: forgive me, Jenny T” «No.13 The word was spoken in a very non- coniinit-tal tone, but Henry did not so understand it. He stood very near the pout/ing lips that had tasted so sweet, and a bit of recklessness came to him. “Jenny,” he said, “I reckon that if y’ air not goin’ to fergrive me fer takin’ one, I might as well have a dozen.” To this Jenny made no reply. She looked out. toward a barn that loomed up on the crest of a. distant hill and waited. “How much madder would y' be. if I took a dozen than if I took one?” he asked. “Lots.” . Henry was beginning to discover that the penalty he must pay for a kiss was not very severe. Jenny’s lips were still pouting within a few inches of his, and he was thinking if one kiss had been so sweet that a dozen mus-t be twelve times sweeter. He slowly drew nearer and nearer, giving her plenty of time to draw back. She did not move. and at last Henry was reveling in another kiss, , though whether it was one long kiss or 1 a. dozen short ones, he never afterward ‘ l‘ecolleete-d. That was the way it began.
