A BRITISH VERDICT.
Tom Selby laid down the last batch ,jf
| English jaipers which fcad reached us at
I Uamherhafn with a'sudden cry of stir-
I pri«e. "Charlie," be cried, turning round
j to mo, "just look over these reports and
j toll me what you make of this Grtyliamp
ton mystery."
We wire two young doctors who, anx
ious to earn a namo for ourselves in sci
enoe, had come to Norway on purpose to
study that strangi- disease tho gobaek,
said to be Induced among Norwegian fish
ermen during tho ancliovy season by ex
cessive consumption of raw salt fish. It is j
a rapid dlpcase, acting from the outset
with extraordinary vloleiice. No satisfac
tory cure, no mode o* treatment even, has
yet teon deviled f; r it.
I took up the papers and read. This
was a curious ease. Yet at lirst my lnt« r
est wuH but languidly aroused. The lnci- J
dents seemed all ef a ster. tyj'vd pattern, j
It was "variety No. 7" of the drame pf s j
slonr.el, according to Loi.ibroso'a luml ,
nou" clr.t.sldcation. You remember the eir- j
cumstances: Old Mr. Pargitcr vas a rich
hut cranky merchant at Greyh:>mptf n en

However, it w«s dw ftart bott
and Mrs. Pnrgiter were anxiously waiting
till the rich "Id hu and was safely out of
tb" way, when they projJOHtd Uj marry and
live happily and virtuously ever affr.
You will observe at once that In the
story so far there was nothing moro than
Lombroso's familiar Case No. 7 : "Wife
has a lover and a rich husband. Lover
poisons husliand. Wife remidns In Igno
ranco of the circumstance. "
But as I read on and on I camo to the
part to which Tom had so urgently oallod
my attention. It was thomedical evidence
as to the dead man's symptoms, together
with the analysis of tho contents of his
stomach.
Then my Interest deepened. Tom
watched me narrowly. "Well, what do
you make of it nil?" he inquired at last
eagerly.
I looked up from tho paper. "Why, tho
go hack, " I answered, without a moment's
hesitation.
"So I think," ho assented. "And as for
arsenic—fudge! How could a man like
Forbes-EUerby put down such symptoms
as those to an irritant?"
I read to the end of the medical > vl
dencc. "Oh, It's as clear as mud!" I
cried. "Here are the small black spots,
and tho temperature below normal, and
tho rigidity of the hands, and the final
sense of total happiness."
"Besides which," Tom put in, "tho pa
tient had been over at Lofoden just ten
days previously.''
"What did the Jury do?" I cried.
"Found the parson guilty of course,"
Tom answered.
I jumped up In horror. "When Is the
man to bo hanged?" I esclatmod.
"Not decided when the pupers loft,"
Tom replied. "But, thwn, that was more
than a week ago."
I madu up my mind at once. "Tom," I
cried, "we must =avc this jioor fellow's
life. Tho case is clear. There was no mur
der at all. Wo know every symptom. Tho
man died of go back."
"What can wo do?" Tom Inquired.
"Tako the first chance of a coaster down s
to Bergen," I answered, "and telegraph at
once to tho homo secretary."
Oh, tho long, dreary delays of that end
less sail In a small fishing smack down tho
sound to Bergen! How we tucked and
luffed I Would woevor reach our port, and,
if we did, would It be in time to save the
innocent victim?
The moment wo landed I telegraphed in
all haste: "We have been studying an ob
scure disease in Norway and can lay before
you evidence which will clearly show no
murder at all took place at Groyhampton,
thus exculpating Cill.right-. Wu implore
yon to delay execution till we can produce
our proof.!. The disease was at Is •fatten
when »'• rgite" "ailed there Wo signed I I
I wlUi our names and medical credentials.' i
A few hours later a reply came back:
"Homo secretary regrets elocution of Con
vict Gilbright. took place at Newgate yes
terday morning. Cholmondely .Tovonn, pri
vate secretary.
I was betildo mysolf with indignation. I
tool, tile flr'.t steamer anil laid the case at
once before the homo office.
, Mr. Cholmondely Jevonb received luo
ills chief was too busy. He listened polite
ly but Incredulously to my narrative. I
showed him beyond a doubt that Parglter
had died of the Norwegian disease ac
quired at Lofoden, but never till our time
investigated with oaro by any medical man,
• either Norse or English. He gazed at me
through his eyeglass, smiled and shrugged
his shoulders. "Most regretful, if truo,"
be remarked at last, with official callous
ness.
"If only I could have tx'cn present at the
trial," I exclaimed, "I might have saved
that man's life. I might bavo convinced
the Jury I"
The private secretary smiled again, an
inscrutable smile. "My dear sir," he said,
"you misunderstand the British Juryman,
and you forget Mrs. Maybriek. Twelve
good men and true found Uilbrlght guilty
of murder, not U-cause It was proved he
had poisoned the man, but because it was
proved ho had Intrigued with tho lady."—

The lato General Francis A. Walker
went Into the army a year after he gradu
ated from Amherst oollego. A pleasant
( story which he used to tell illustrates the
temper of the time and shows of what stuff
mothers wero thon made:
Ho obtained a leave of absence to go
bomo to Massachusetts and arrived there
without having notified his mother that
he was coming. When be approached the
house, it was evening. He peered through
a window and saw his mother sitting
alone, knitting.
Then he stepped softly into the room
and, standing liefore her, said suddenly
"Mother!"
Mis. Wulker started and looked up at
her son, but did not rise."
"Francis," she said severely, "have you
left the army?"
"No, mother; only on leave. Fin going
buck next week."
"Then," General Walker UHed to say,
"she Jumped from her chair and came and
kissed me. I imve always wondered what
she would have done If I had left the
army."—Youth's Companion.

Ben Brohim lived happy and oontcnted
until one dav, while passing before the
brlo a-bmc.pawn office and dry gcxids shop
of Yussuff. he saw, hanging in the win
dow, some gold watcbt«s. Then his happi
ness was gone, for one thought invaded his
mind fo completely that 2" times a day he
exclaimed loudly, "By the prophet's beard,
X must have one!"
Mohajnmed Ben Brahlin had a cousin , a
lieutenant in the txißie regiment, ifnd he
went to him and told him a .story about
his mother being sick and needy, and the
lieutenant, who loved his aunt, gave him
12 franca, with the recoinmetidntion U
Ut«- i »»• rll. a thing that tho Turoo <11:1.

shop he uppe ,red five ininntea later.
V;.S£uf? v. taalono, and, 5..-eir..j the Turco
entering his store, he arose to meet him
not through d<*f"r» no to the cailiT, but
from :i kmnvledgo that 'he Turpos are the
gr»jatesi prowlers of Africa.
"I salute jou. Rabbi YussuS," salu
touching his fei.
"I salute you, lurco, ' said Yussuf"
politely "What do y u want?"
"I conic to pay you 12 francs for the 7
you l mned m--> a fortnight, ago," answeret'
the Tureo.
"Bid Il'ian youTiionry"- Ido not recol
lect t > have seen you before."
"You don't! Will, th?n, you were more
drunk than I was when I borrowed the
money from you But no matter. 1 owe
you 12 francs, and there it is."
Then the Turco put 12 francs in tho oth
er'B hand. Yussuff t--;k it Just as :.i Arab
priest entered tho shop.
Yussuff saluted tLo newcomer with the
greatest as he was one of his best
customers, and said:
"Will yon allow mo to present this Turco
to you ati one of the few honest men wo
have in this town?"
The Arab looked with astonishment on
the pair
"Well, well!" thought ho. "What are
we coming to If u Turco turns to !x so
honest as to be praised by YussufT?" Then
ho asked, "May I inquire what this Turco
has done to deserve your commendations,
YuesuflfV"
"I loaned him 12 francs and 1 forgot all
about it. Many would ijave taken advan
tage of my lack of memory, but he did
not, for ho has paid tue like an honest
man that he is."
"My friend," said tho Arab to tho Tur
co, "will you favor mo with your company
to my house?"
Mohammed Ben Brahlm answered that
as soon as Rabbi Yussuff had returned his
pledge ho would follow him.
"A pledge," cried Yussuff, turning pale
"You have given mo none."
"What!" replied tho Turco indignantly.
"That gold watch there Is mine." And
Mohammed pointed .to a watch worth
about fOO.
"That watch was bought by mo from a
chief now dead," yelled Yussuff.
"Yussuff," interposed tho Turco, "It
seeius to me that this chief died very con
veniently for you. Will you give mo my
watch?"
"No," answered Yussuff.
"All right, sir. I will bavo you arrest
ed on thespot." And opening the door Mo
hammed went into tho street coiling for
tb« police.
The police took Yussuff by tho throat,
and the whole party left tho store to go to
the indge.
"What is the* matter?" inquired tho
Arab nngisTnte.
"Your wisdom, this man has robbod
that Turco, ' replied the officer.
"Turco, how dill the thing happen?" in
quired the judge.
" Your wisdom, this iuan loaned me 7
francs o.i mj guld tvutoh. I returned him
his money, together with E francs as In
tcrcst, and now ho refuses to glvo mo my
wale h."
"Uow did you got a prold watch?"
" Your wisdom, it Is a present from my
dying father.
"Jin.any one seoyou paying the money?"
"Your wisdom, this holy Arab was pres
ent."
"Arab, is is true wbat the Turco Is eay
lng?"
" Yourwlsdom, he basspoktn the truth,"
replied the Arab. "Yussuff introduced tiio
oomplainant to me, with the remark that
he was one of tho fow honest men wo ha\o
In this town."
"Yussuff, do you deny the accusation
made against you?"
" Your wisdom, I do deny it."
"Bid you take la francs from tho com
plainant?"
"Your wisdom, I did."
"For what?"
"Because I loaned it to him."
"Without any pledge?"
"Yes, your wisdom, without any
pledge."
"Officers, go to Yussuff's houoo and

said tho judge.
The officers went and soon returned,
bringing about 30 gold watches, which
they spread before the judge.
'' liOOik and see If your tlmepieco is there,"
said the magistrate to the Turco.
The cunning Turco advanced, and, with
out any hesitation, took, not the best, but
the third from the best.
The Judge, who had eyed sharply tho ac
tion of tho Turco, seeing him discard the
costliest watch to take another inferior in
value, felt convinced of tho justice of his
claim to tho object of his selection. He
said to him:
"Take It and go. Hemember that the
present from a dying father is a sacred
thing, not to be polluted by tho hand of
the money lender, who is a thief, a usurer
and a liar. Go!"
Then the judge turned to Yussuff.
"For lying to me, for exacting usurious
rates of interest. f<tr trying to rob a jxior

A GOOD PLEA.
There came one day to an Inn near Bo
logna. kept by a widow, Madonna Lueret
ite>, three travelers. SestlDg themselves on
a bench under her vine trellis, they wero
eupplltd with a flag' n of AUatioo by a love
ly girl, her only child, tho image of her
former self. In their huts they wore a
medal, suoh as in that age was often dis
tributed lu war, nrd they were evidently
lut alterns In one of these free bands which
were always ready to serve tn any quarter,
if a service it could bo called, where a bat
tle was little more than a rnofkery, and
the slain, as on an opera stnire. were up
and fighting tomorrow. Overcome with
the heat, they threw aside their cloaks,
and, with their gloves tucked tind«>r their
belts, contlnind for some time in earnest
conversation.
At length they row; to i,ml theVene
tian thus addressed their hostess:
"Kswßrat udv, ID»>V v ■ utfl ui:«i«r

"Yot; mry," shen-;1lcd, yly: "but, re

"The money woald go ti the church, for
cone could claim it."
'■Ferbup you will favor cs with an ac
ImowWla'iient?"
! If you will wrHe i f ."
Ar. acknowledgment was written ac
cordlngly, and slie signed It bt-furti Master
Bartolo, the villagt- physician, who
jus* called hanoe l'. leai tho tews of
the day, th • gold to be delivered whun rip
plied for, but to be delivered (these v ere
the word?) not to one nor to two, but
to the three —words wisely introduced iiy
those to who!.: It belonged, knowing what
they knew of each other. The gold they
had just released from a miser's chest in
Perugia, and they w ore now on ascent that
promlr*d mora.
They and their shadows were no sooner
departed than the Venetian returned, say
ing, "Give tn<i leova to set my seal ou tho
bag, as tl.o others have done." And sho
placed it on a tablr- before him, but In that
moment fhe was called away to receive a
cavallor who had just dismounted from
bis horse, and when she came back it was
gone. The temptation had proved irrosisti
ble. Tho man and the money had vanished
together.
"Wretched woman that lam!" sho cried
as in #n agony of grief she fell on her
daughter's neck. 'What will become of
us? Are wo again to bo cast out into tho
wide world* Unhappy child, would that
thou hadst never lucn horn!" And all
day long she lamented, but. her tears avail
ed her little. The < thcra were not slow in
returning to claim their duo, and there
were no tidings of the thief. He had fled
far away with his plunder. A process
against her was instantly begun In Bo
logna, and what defense could she make;
how release herself from the obligation of
tho bond* Willfully or in negligence sho
had parted with It to one, when she should
have kept It for all, and lnovitable ruin
awaited hor.
"Go, Glanetta," said sho to her daugh
ter. "Take this vojl which your mother
has worn and wept under and Implore tho
Counselor Caldertno to plead for us on tho
day of the trial. Ik is generous and will
listen to the unfortunate, but, if he will
not, go from door to door. Monaldt can
not refuse U6. Make haste, my child, but
remember the chapel as you pass by it.
Nothing prospers without a prayer."
Alas, sho went, but in -vain! These were
retained against them. Those demanded
more than they had to give, and all bade
them despair What wa*
advocate, and the cau -o to come o:i tomor
row!
Now Gtanotta hao a lover, and he was a
student of the law, a ycung nitui of great
promise, Lorenzo Martellt. He had studied
long and diligently under tliat learned law

of stature, was great tn renown, end by
bis contemporaries was called tho arch doc
tor, ihe rabbi of doctors, tho light of the
world. Under him ho had fi-rdlcd, sitting
on the c>amc b< nch with Putrarch. and also
and t .'ils daughter, Novell , ./he • ould
often lecture to 'ho .scholar:; when her fa
thor was otherwise engaged, plncltur her
self behind a small curtain. l< --!< her beauty
should divert their thoughts, a nrcouutlon,
tn this instance ut i Mat, ui<ni-coh»ary, laj
tuatio having lost l.i.s heart to another.
To him t.io flies In her necessity, bus
of what assistance ean ho be? He has just,
tuken h'.s place at tho lar, but he has nev
er spokon. and how stand up alone, un
practised and unpropared as ho Is, against
an array that would alarm the most ex
perienced ?
"Were 1 as mighty as I am weak," said
he, "my fears for you would make me as
nothing. But I will be there, Glanetta,
and may the Friend of the friendless glvo
me strength in that hour! Even now my
heart fails mo, but, conic what will, while
I have a loaf to share yon and your moth
er shall never want. I will Jjeg through
the world for you."
The day arrives and the court assem
bles. Tho claim is stated and the evidence
given. And now th'e defense Is called for,
but none Is made. Not a syllable Is ut
tered, and after a pause and a consulta
tion of some minutes tho judges are pro
oeeding to give judgment, silonce having
been proclaimed in tho court, when Lo
renzo rises nnd thus addresses them:
"Reverend signers, young as I am,
may I venture to speak In behalf of one
who has none else to help her? I will
not keep yon long. Much has been said,
inuoh on the sacred nature of the obliga
tion, and wo acknowledge it In its full
force. Let it lie fulfilled, and to the last let
tor. It is what wo solicit, what we re
quiro. But to whom is tho bag of gold to
be delivered? What, says tho bond? Not
to ono, not to two, but to tho throe. Let
the three stan.l forth and claim it."
From that day—for who can doubt tho
issue?—nono was sought, none employed,
but the subtle, the eloquent Lorenzo.

Now, however, Barbara wai earning a

"It all seems so stri'.n^e," said Barbara,
"to thlr.k that vre ar actually engaged to
each other, and yet that we dou't profes
to love each other in v ry least"
"Yes," reepondtd her companion. Tl.en
he -..did, "Barbara, vo-jhl you not like to
know why I lirst thought ,>f tAking a truU

"Yes, certainly I should '

placed !n her hand a tiny moro.-.co case,

with tJoep blue eyo* and golden hair
She diod, aiid now, little -.voman, you
ktiuw why 11 ild you I could never make
lo\e to any woman aynin. I was nearly
mad with grief for a time after I lost her,
ar»d I went out to California and plunged
madly into work. At first, as you know,
things did not prooper, and I lost a lot of
money. Now I have regained all I lost
and am comparatively a rich man, but if
I am to succeed and take a large number
of pupils, as I hope to do, a wife is-an ab
solute necessity to me."
That same evening T-etticu arrived. Let -
tioe was 10 and had a tall, supple figure
and a face of wondrous beauty. Ilor eyes
were of that rare blue violet shade, her
hair a soft nut brown. They had finished
tea, and Barbara was seated In a low
chair by the open window, Lettlee on a
stool at her feet.
"What, Barbara—a new ring?" cried tho
younger sister, .apturing Barbara's left
hand and examining the lovely sapphire
flashing on the third finger. "Ah, you
are blushing! What have you been doing
while I havs been away? Come, tell me
all übout it."
'I have betn getting engaged,"' replied
Barbara demurely, and then, to her sister's
great surprise, she told her all about it.
Bo Lettieo was introduced to this new
brother, and the new brother and Lettice
got on very nicely together. Lattice was
just of an ago to bo fascinated by a man of
Geoffrey's ago and style rather than by
ono nearer to her own age, and Geoffrey
was taken by her fresh, girlish ways and
by her nature 1, unconventional style.
Bolt waa all mranged—a niarriago of
mutual satisfaction and esteem, but no
lovemaking.
But the little god was not to be cheated.
So two hearts, after one e< -tatio bound of
passionate joy, as they realized that they
are all the world to each other, are plunged
in anguish and desj>air a ;'J y also reali/.e
that they both are lu honor bound never
to be more than friends.
Look into Geoffrey Helhurst's room late
ono evejiing toward the end of Augustas
he paces up and down, heedleaa of the fact
that the clock Is already registcriiiK -thu
sxnntt tioriTS.
"Fool—fool that I was!" ho ejaculated
"Fool to tell myself that my heart wad
dead and burled with r».y lost love, and
now it is beating as wildly and wtth as
passionate love for another, and I may noli
claim her. I am bound In honor to her
sister.''
"Barbara shall ne\er knew It," mur
mured Lettice as she Ilea a\v< Ko in her si
lent, misery through theiong night. "I
will bear my pain alone. Her life shall
not be si -,iled."
It war the uvoniii>j bercro he wedding,
a lovely, still .Septeml. r t cnlng. Tho
thro were together ii the Maitlands' lit
tie sitting room.
"Bab, you have not tried on your wed
ding dress," cried Let;;co. "It looks love
ly. I)o go up stairs and ' it- it on. I know
tihtu lieoilrey is dying t see t."
" Yes, do," said Geoffrey. "I should llk-j
tO it."
''Very well," said Barbara, smiling. "I
wtll gratify your curiosity and my vanity.
I will run and put it on."
For a few seconds silence prevails. Then
Lottie - crosses over to Geoffrey, and, tak
ing lioth his hands, gazes at him with sor
row laden eyes.
"Geoffrey, you will never let her know,
never let her guess. You wtll be true to
her and good to her always, will you uot?"
"Lcfcriee, Lettlco, I want you! Come
and help me to put my gown on," crl<d
Barbara's voice from up stairs. "Como
and help me, lattice! Mtss Frazor has
made a mistake. My gown is much too
long and too largo. She soems to have
made it by your measurement instead of
mine. Try it on, Lettice, and let me soe. "
Lettloo consented to array herself in the
white silk and laco draperies, and very
lovely sho looked in them. Hor tall figure
easily carried off the superfluous inches
that had so distressed Barbara, and she
looked with pardonable girlish vanity as
her sister pieced her in front of the glass.
"Bid you think I did not guess what
had happened, little sister?" said Barbara's
tweet, low toned voice, while her arm stole
gently round the amazed Lettlco. "Hero
Is Geoffrey Selhurst's bride! Como and
let tue take you to him."
"But, Barbara, stop! How did you find
out? Wo never meant you to know! I
will uot take your lover from you!"
"Geoffrey is not my lover, and he is only
going to marry me because he Is too ohlval
rous and honorable to disappoint me, and,
though I like him very much and esteem
him Immensely, 1 should never fret my
heart out about him, as I know a foolish
little girl would do if I had gone away
wtth hint and left her In England."
t?lx mouths later then was a wedding
out In California, and this time the bride's
dress fitted perfectly, and even if It had
not done so she would have gono to ohurch
and bavo been married in It all the came,
for Barbara dcolanil that Hugh Denham,
the clever doctor, had won her hoart and
goul completely for himself and that not
even to make Lettlco happy would sho sur
render him.—Exchange.

opinion that t lists in regard to the

crops are wheat and corn, tbs fact re
mains that tbe trno test of any system
is its continued success. By the adop

The propt r rotation is begun liy 0,-ed
ieg fleid N'-. 1 with v.h hi-, to bo fol
lowed in Hit? pjirtng with u seeding of
one bushel timothy and eight quarts
red clover to every eight acres. Tho clo
ver ihould uot be pastured the first year
of i *> growth, except for a mifiiuient iame
for the hogs to pick up the scattered
grain after harvest The second year
field No. 1 may be pastured faoni und
after June 1, but a 6ufiioient quantity
of that in which the most timothy ap
pears should be reserved for hay.
Where one has a g( od bam t»a£> sheds
extending back from each uaA, with
eavo troughs to conduct away the water
that falls upon the roofs, a level Larn
yard having raised sides so that no liq
uid manure can escape, and the straw
stacked in the center, a large quantity
of manure can be made each year by
the Ist of August from the straw and
refuse cornstalks, together wllli the
droppings and urine orthe animals kept
in the basement of the barn und those
la and about the yard.
Now, instead of breaking up the clover
sward in August, when heat aiiddrought
prevail and the cost of tho greuarittion
of the land for a wheat crop is doubled,
adopt tho following method: Begin in
August by applying ten four norse
loads of manure to tho aero op <ftie fir-Id
where most needed, making of eaeh load
six or eight piles 12 feet apart dortb way.
Let this remain in piles until the fol
lowing .spring, then spread it lad plow
tho land to u depth of eight inches, and
plant very early to corn. In the fill- out
tho corn nearly knee high, anil shock it
in rows, which should bo as far apart as
practicable. Harrow down fbp higl,
stubbie with a heavy, sharp toothed har
row, which, preceding the wheat drill,
puts the soil in the best possible condi
tion for the quick and vigorous growth
of the wheat plants.
Rv thw £Xktiau of Hucdiug the totj
field with wheat, laLor is not only com
pletely economized, but the high cut
stalks, when harrowed down, not as a
mulch to tho wheat plants and measur
ably prevent washing on high points
and knolls, which would otherwise wash
badly during the winter if the iield
were allowed to remain in the condition
thu it ordinarily ifc. The following
spuug row again to clover and timothy.
By this plan one j.lowing serves for
three orop* —ono of corn, one of wheat
and one of clover and timothy.

A larger amount at fertility ie always
gained by sowing .some leguminous
a op, such as soja beans, cowpeas, Can
mm pejis or soma of tho clovers, rather
than by sowing such catch crops us buck
wheat, rye, turnips, rupe or slraila'
plants. Director Flagg of the Rhode
Island station calls attention in The
Mew England Homcstoad to the Impor
tance of farmers considering the ex
pense of seed and cost of seeding-for a
catch crop to be plow d under. He says:
Crimson clover may ho sown at this
time and will make a good growth for
plowing under in time to seed to grass
in September. About 20 pounds per acre
is sufficient. It is quoted by the single
pound at 15 cents, but by the hundred
pounds at I!cents and possibly may
he bought for less. Sown on a well pre
pared seed bed, it can be sufficiently
covered by harrowing with a smoothing
burrow or often with a heavy bruah har
row. As Canada peas aresomewhat lia
ble to mildew in hot, moist weather or
suffer badly from dry weather I acu in
clined to think that, taking into consid
eration the cost of the seed and conven
ience of seeding, crimson clover will be
the most desirable to use for green ma
nuring in this vicinity.

A New Jersey gardener has been ex

persons in crowded lots in cities and
towns might produce vegetables for-their
tables. As reported in Home and Farm,
he dug a hole 18 inches square and a
foot deep, and into this put half a bush
el of manuro and mixed in tho top' soil.
Here he planted a tomato plant In
bloom, a spade full of dirt being taken
up with the plant. Then tho.soil l*om
tho bottom of the bole was put In a
circular ridge about the plant, sq that
the plant stood in a shallow earthen
cup. Into this cup kitchen slope went
poured daily. The vine was fastened to
a wall as it grew. This one plant gTew
more than 100 feet of vine, supplied
more tomatoes than the averuga garden,
and yielded an abundance of fruit two
mouths after tomatoes had disappeared
from surrounding gardens. Hooluims

Aside from the marketing value
turnips, they, like carrots ana mangeUk
have an aspcrial value for winter feed
for cattle, especially young stock and
oxen. If fed to milk-oows, they shoulf
be given in;mediately after milking and
fed sparingly. The Cope also are relished
by cattle. Such foods help digest the
