" Bat I oaa help yon in the even- ing you know " Grace Craxall's propheoiea proved oorrect. Aunt Ddbby'a delioions home-made bread whiter than powdered Uldes, awe«ft as am- brosia, soon acqaired a reputation, and the old Udy could soaroely bake it fast enough. People came half a dosen blooka to buy the yellow pumpkin pies and delicious apple tarta; children brought their hoa^d pennies to invest inohooolate sweetmeats. Taoilla caramels, and oteam oakes with paffy abells and delioious oentrea of aweet- n«8. The little money-drawer grew fat with coins, and Aunt D.-biy's dim eyea grew bright and hopeful again. And one day Mr. Hetbsrt Yalanoe, walk- ing by with Medora May, stopped and Ipak- ed in. " Isn't that your cousin Grace." saiu ha. " behfaid the coantar ' Medora tamed crimson with vexation. "My ooasin Grace!" she said. "No. indeed We are notâ€" in trade;" What possspsed h-r to utter this deliber- ate falsehood Medora oonld not afterward have told. Partly the sting of false shame, partly a disinclination for Mr. Herbert Valaace to know tha^ her relations were, to use her expression. " not ladies and gentlemen." Mr. Valance looked up at the sign over the door. "The name is May," he remarked in- differently. " 7ea," said Medora, angry at herielf blushing so deeply, "bat we are no re- lation." Mr. Valance thought over the matter he afterward met Miss May at a party given by a friend, where pretty Grace Craxall was a' BO! present he had taken rather a fancy to the bright blue eyes and delicate bio'^He beauty of.the former. Valance Hall, on the hill just out of the city, was solitary enough, now that his sisters had all mar- ried and gone away, and perhaps a man might find a less attractive and graceful wife than Medora Majr, But he could not be mistaken, he thought, in Grace Craxall's Identity. And so the next evening, about the same time, he sauotered into thu shop. Grace was behind the daintily-clean little coanter, taking soma newly-baked maple caramels eft the pan. She looked up with a smile, "Good eveli'ng, Mr. Valance," said she. "So," he thought, "I wasn't mistoken after all. And the little olua-eyed seraph is mortal enoagh to tell a lie in spite of her angelic appearance " But he looked serenely at Grace. "I didn't know yoa were in tr»de," said he. " Didn't you Well," retorted Grace, " 1 am my Aunt Deborah's shop-girl at present. 1 always come here in the even- ings to help her, because," she added, with a sweet shade of seriousness coming over her face, " aunt was old and poor, and she didn't quite know how to maintain herself in independence and. unfortunately, my wao'ss at the factory a^a not enough for us both. So I advi.-t.i 'erto open this business, and she did, and she a doi"g well and she bakes the in et deiiuious bread and pies you ever ate, so, ' with a saucy twinkle under her eyelashes, " it yoa know of any custom- ers, will you please recommend our firm " " 'To be sure I shall," he answered in the same spirit. "And I am very glad. Miss Craxall, to see that you are not ashamed of being a Working girl." "Of course I am not," "Why should I be!" "Bat your cousin Medora is." Grace gave a litUe shrug of her shonlders. " Very Ukely," said she. " Medora and I differ In many things. ' Mr. Valance bought a pound of caramels, and went away. ,, " She is a beauty, ' he said to himself "And she is a sensible beauty Into the bargain. One of those rare creatures In our country, a thoroughly well-balanced glri-" He must have been well pleased with his purchase, for he came again the next even- ing, just In time to walk home with Grace •Craxall. And they talked over Aunt De- borah's a^Taira, and concluded as flour was low last then, it would be a favorable op- portunity for the old larly to Uy in her winter stock through Mr. Valance, who was acquainted with one of the great To- ronto grain mercliants. Only a few weeks had elapsed when Me- dora May was electrified to learn that her cousin Grace was engaged. " To some master baker or journeyman confectioner, I suppose," she said Jon- temptuoualy. "No," said Grace, with eyea roguishly sDarkllng, " to Mr. Herbert Valance." â„¢I__don't-bBiieve-lt." said Medora, Krowing red, then pale. .. j " But itlTreaUy so," said Grace. " And we are to be married in three rnoaibB. And Aunt Debby is to oome to the haU and Uve withmeas'soonas she «« «^n«^»*j!' business to advantage.

First ia the Uttla things about tne oua wd maaagwnent of poolcry. which, if tended to pmperly. keep the f owU in buoh good oondttion and thrift. Above M things do not negieot deanli- ness; for fowls will keep haaltbitr and in better ooi^tion on mt agar qoantitiea bf ooanw food with "'â€"-iHnf. than if fad on tha beat and moat noariahing food if an- tambed In flthy qnwtera.

Care bestowed upon poultry ia not loat by any meana, aa soma paraona aeem to thfaik, for the fowls appreoiato kindneaa Md ean very quiok in retntidng favors ia the ahape of nloe freah eggs. The better the care and tte more varied the food, the bettor will be â„¢, Jesuits, and the more profitable they wHI be to their owner. There Is at present a great deal of intar- eat manifeatad in the rearing of Bantams. The smallest spedmens are oonsidared the beat, being the hardest to obtain. The praotioa forowed by most breedera seems very cruel, to say the least They do not aatthe hens until very 1 «te In tha Kaion, ao that thachioka will omy be partly grown when the cold weather oomes. TlUs will serve to stunt their growth more or leas, and this Is just what the breeders want to aooom- pUsh. Beddeathis, they are oftentimes very scantily fed for the same reason, it be- ing very deairable to have them as small aa poBsible. They make beautiful little pets, and ate muoh more profitable than moat of our ornamental fowls. The time for selling ohioks is now at hand. They are now of a large size and the best breeders can be easily picked out Now ia really the time to start into the poolti^ business, for good s'ook can be purchased at reasonable pricea, and by changing location now they will become accustomed to their new quarters, and be In exoellrat breeding condition in the spring. If they are bought in the spring at breeding time, the change will oftentimes break up their laying, and it will take considerable to recover and get hi good breading condition again. And, as time is so valuable in breeding season, it is sometimes quite a seriona loss. Experience is a vahiable teacher. The reader should look over the past seas jn, and see wherein'he has made mistakes, and try to Improve the next seaaon. Experience teaches that the best way to ship eggs Is in baskets, and never in boxes. There is al- ways more or less complaint about eggs be- ing received in had order; and anything that can be done to avert this should be carefully attended to by the reader. The trouble with shipping in boxes is, that they are handled tos rougn but the instant an expressman sees a basket with cloth cover sewed on, he knows immediately what it cent ins, and ha::dl?a ltac;ordiog)y. Woen shipped in a box, the chmces are that they wiU le handled as ordinary frdght, no mat- tor how many special warnings may be writ- ton or parted on the box, for the expressman dose not take time to read them the na- tural consequence Is that they get well shak- en up before they reach their destination. There is a great deal of talk and writing about the " best kind of fowls" and whicn breed brings the best returns. This Is most of It guess work more than anything else, as there i« no one variety best for all par poses. They nearly all have their special points of exceUence,and breeders should first determine qualities he wants best developed in his fowls, and select ac.ordingly. He should fuiiy decide whether he wants Of^ga alone, or a good market variety, or simply an ornamental variety that makes a nice appearance on the lawn. No matter what quality Is desired, it cm easily be found, as we have so miny varieties of fancy fowls, that It is bat a simple.matter to get the right bird If the breeder knows just what he is desirous of obtaining. Parm Pences. Perhaps no bettor treatiee apon fenres cin be given than a fanner's reason for seek- ing a ditferent fence that those already in use. Every year upon my farm I usually divided one or more gass fields, so as to mow one portion, and pasture the other, or to keep different kinds of stock by them- eelves, which 1 consider desirable, espe- cially in the case of milch cows and sheep. I found It a great job to move the necessary amount of rail fence to accomplish the de- sired pnrpjse, and when built such tempo rary fences were blown down In places by every heavy Wi'nd that came stock, espe- cially hones, were constantiy knocking it down, coles, fintiiwe it one of the finest of paatlmes to tee bow many rails they could knock 'clown In a day, till there was no rest for the weary old farmer from rebuilding hence he thought. In his weatiness, eannot this be changed CaAnot some device be made that can b i moved with ease, that will not blow down, that colto will let alone, that Is a good sheep and hog fence Such a fen e must be high aa poaJble, therefore let us use all the wire we can, forma bridge to keep it tteht,-pat the wire at the top so that the wind will not blow It down or cattie press it o^er, with boards at the bottom to form the bridge, also to make a fence against sheep and hogs. It must be made in lengths so that It can be moved apart at any time (14 feet proves the beat length;) we want it straight, to let ui couple it together end toeiid. Theoouplers must allow the fence to follow the uneven surface of the ground tiie npper confers will spread going over a hOL Oe lower through a hollow, haw» it wUl leave no hog holea nndw the fence. Thie ooupler makaa the test |»int from whioh to support tiie lengtiis. What ^aU I anohor it with was the next question An iwm rod can be driven easily; being of onlformsizeit can be drawn eadly ah^. â-  TAm AUOVV WILL BOBIHC ClKlMHAS CAIKS BT MAIL A Isss tbsn Whelssils friesa.
