O A O of It; but I don't believe
X " K the water will get up to
JfOtf tho house."
"it may not; but If It does, whnt shnll
we do? In the nlitlit, too; If It wn In
th day, we might be able to nave our
elves." "If It doe rise so high, we will not
be the only one In trouble, for It will
cover the whole town north of the
river."
"Nelly, why can't we sell our chick
ens, and pet money enough to keep us
till the danger is over?"
"If It were not so near night, and
Sunday, too, we might; but what would
we do without them? They are al
most our only dependence."
In a short time the dark, chilly,
dismal night settled down. The dark
est night In all the twenty-two years
of Nellie Anderson's life. She and her
sister Grace aged fourteen, sat wait
ing and watching for tome sign that
the river would go down.
The house was so near the river, the
lot so low, that of all those who would
uffer from the flood, they would be
the first to face the danger; and they
were the leaRt able to do so; and It
being tbe last bouse along the liver
bank. In the city, they would be tbe
last to receive help.
"Oh, Nelly, what shall we do 1( the
water gets to the house? I wish we had
gone' away before It was dark."
"It may not reach the house; but If
It should, it must get much higher be
fore It puts us In much danger. We
can move such .things as we will need
for a day or so up stairs, and we will
be tafe there."
"If coming. Listen!"
With a rush that threatened to car
ry tbe little house away, the water
was around them, and they had no
time to save anything. They crouched
down beside tbe window In the little
chamber, trylug to see the water; but
the only thing of which they could
be sure was that It was still rising.
Nelly took the lamp and went to the
tali-way, to see if there was much
water in the lower story; she found
It was more than half way up to the
celling. It was imposiblc to get any
thing from below, now, and they had
brought no food with them. Again
they sought the window. They could
plainly bear the cries for help of those
bend abeTve thelu; and sometimes they
added their cries to those they heard;
but the entire attention of those en
gaged In the work of rescue was de
voted to saving those nearest at band.
Again Nelly looked below. The
water had nearly reached the celling
sow; in a few minutes more it would
reach the upper story, then what
should they do? Nelly tried to cheer
Grace by telling her that it surely
could cot get much higher; that a
little water in the upper story, would
pot hurt them; that in the morning
ome one would be sure to see them
nd come to their help.
With another sudden rush the water
was in the chamber, and tbe house
trembled and shook. By the light of
the lamp they could see It was nearly
up to the window sill. The faces of
both girls were pale now.
"Grace, If It rises much higher, wc
must try to reach the roof. We must
not be caught In Lore"'
"How can we get out on the roof?"
"I think I can help you up from the
Window, then you can help me."
"Let's cot try it yet; we may not
need to. Oh'."
The house gave n mighty quiver, as
If shaking itself loose from its foun
dation, swung part way round, caught
on something, and hung, rocking wild
ly In the flood. The water was not
so deep in the chamber now as it had
been before the bouse floated.
"I think we will bo all right now,
Grace. The heaviest articles are be
low, and they will act as ballast, and
keep the house right side up."
"If ths bouse stays right side up, we
Will get no deeper in the water than
we urn now."
With a sickening lurch the house
shook itself free, whirled around,
caught again, swung part way round.
came loose, and floated down with the
current. As their light shone from
tbe window they could see the trees
glide by.
"Nelly, don't you think we would
better put out the lamp? We don't
want fire as well as water."
They were soon glad they had done
this, for occasionally the bouse would
trlke some obstruction with such
force it seemed as if it must go to
pieces. They knew that they were
going down stream rapidly, for some'
times they could get a glimpse of s
tree as they swept past near it, and
when the chamber window would turn
toward the town tbey had left they
could see the reflection of tbe lights
on tbe cloud. It kept growing fainter
and farther away, and then they saw
tb reflection of the light of another

town in the opposite direction. Before
morning tbey had lost sight of the
lights they had left, but those below
were becoming blighter; then day
light came to cheer them, and how
thankful they were for it
They could now see that they were
moving rapidly, but they knew the
chance of help was not so good here
as it would have been in tbe city.
When they did see any one they would
call for help, but rescue was impossi
ble In that swift current Once, to
ward mid-day, the bouse caught ou
something, and held for some time.
They began to hope it would not re
sume its wild Journey again; but to
ward night, as tbe water continued to
rise, it floated down stream again.
The cold, tbe hunger, the fatigue, and
above all, the nervous strain was
fast telling on their strength. It was
growing darker; Monday night was
closing down on them, and no hope
of help, when they came around a bend
and saw before thera a scene which
seemed to promise them either life or
certain destruction at once. The river
was running through what seemed to
be a great city. Wreck and destruc
tion was on every hand; bridges torn
out, houses crushed, cars nnd buildings
burning, and farther out they could see
the twinkling light of a great city.
But help wo more impossible here
than it had been before, for the current
was so swift, the way blocked with so
much wreckage that no boat could
reach them, although the watchers on
the bonk could see them plainly.
Surely it was God's hand bad held
tbein back, during the day, until that
mighty torrent bad swept away the
many obstructions through which they
could not have passed earlier in the
day.
Tbey passed it all safely and in a
few minutes tbey swept out on a much
larger stream, where there was more
room, and consequently less danger.
But It was dark now and the rain
still falling, and they could see nothing
save nn occasional light In some win
dow. The house sailed along smoothly
now. the water being deeper nnd tbe
channel wider, and so their nervous
tension was somewhat relieved; but
how slow dragged the night! How
tbey longed for the light of dayl When
at last the night was over daylight
found them exhausted, scarcely able
to stand, hope nil gone, longing for
dent?!, as a relief from that awful
strain. - . ,
About 10 o'clock they were near the
left side of the current, nnd as they
swung around a bend toward the
north, they were drawn still farther
from tlio channel. A little farther
down a strong current set off toward
the left, onto the bottom, and It took
them nlong with It. As they left the
main stream, the bonso caught on some
obstruction, but did not stop long. It
floated out of the channel nnd toward
the north, caught again, nnd as it came
looso It revolved in the opposite direc
tion, and as the window came toward
the north they saw a house closo by,
and above water.
Their craft continued to revolve and
move with the stream a little longer,
then it grounded in shallower water,
nnd not over n quarter of a mile from
the house, where they could now see
a man nnd woman watching them.
The man called to them, then ran
toward the water near the bouse, and
soon they saw hi:n coming to them in
a boat.
Nc Taylor owned one of tho best
farms on tho Missouri River bottom.
The house wns on high ground, above
any high water, though still quite close
to the river. Along the south side of
the farm was a small crce'i, coming
down from the northwest.
Ned's sister, Kmina, wa his house
keeper, and like Ned bad made her
part of the domain to blossom ns the
rose; but now tho river was higher
than it had been for years. All Ned's
crops were ruined, and though the
house was still above water, and the
stock still safe, the loss would be great.
Ned was troubled more about his sis
ter's health than about his crops. She
had only recently recovered from a
severe fever, and now she seemed like
ly to have a relapse, aud it wns nenrly
impossible to get a doctor ns th? bot
toms, for miles arouuj, were uudcr
water.
Km in a was lying on n lounge, placed
In such a position she could see the
liver through the open door. Bho had
a glass In her hands, through which
she watched the wreckage coming
around tbe bend.
"Ned, there comes a bouse down tbe
river. Where could it have come
from?"
"It might have come from K
Tbls flood might easily have washed
away a small house. Let me see."
He took the glass and looked.
"It is very close to tbls side; It may
be drawn into tbe creek; there is a
strong current runulng back west
now." ,
Emma witched tbe bouse, It re
volved slowly, and after awhile it
swung around so she could tee th
window in the gnble.
"Oh,-Ned; Ned! come here nnlckH
Ned ran to hi sister, thinking some
thing bad happened to her.
"Oh, Ned! There is-some one in that
house! Two women! I can see them
at tho window! Look!"
The house had revolved o far that
Ned could not ce the window. Boon
the bouse entered the current which
ran back up the creek. It seemed
to bang on something, then' changed
the direction of its revolution, and
continued on its way; but now both
Emma nnd Ned were standing in the
door, and ns the wludnw came in sight
ngnln they could plainly see two
women leaning from it, and heard a
very faint cnll for help.
Ned replied with but one word,
"Coming," and started for bis boat;
before be reached it, Emma called to
him:
"It'a grounded out there in the
pasture. No. If loose again! Oh,
Ned, it's going Into the mouth of that
little hollow! It Is! It'a fast now!
It can't get out nowl"
Ned gave one glance and saw thnt
Emma was right, then mode every
effort to reach it as' soon as possible.
When he pulled up beneath the win
dow be saw two most pitiful faces.
"Are you willing to give up your
ship?"
"Yes. Indeed! We'll ourrender on
any terms."
They were so weak tbey were scarce
ly able to help themselves at all, and
It wn only after considerable difficulty
Ned succeeded In getting them into tbe
boat. When this wn accomplished,
and be was again at the oars, he asked
them bow long they hnd been afloat
"Since Sunday night."
"Since Sunday night! How far did
you come?"
"From T
"Is it possible! And have you been
cooped up there oil that time, without
food?" '
"yes."
"And wet, and cold! I don't see
bow you stood it so long?"
'We could not have stood It much
longer."
"Why didn't you leave before the
water got so high?"
"We had no place to go; and If we
had, we did not like to leave unless
we were compelled to."
'Aud the bouse who doc It belong
to?"
"It did belong to ns, before It came
down here. I don't kaow who it be
longs to now."
"It is Btill yours. It is on my land,
and I will buy it of you, if you wish.
But had you no relatives or friends
where you could have gone?"
"No we are alone in the world, since
father died; and the bouse was all be
left."
"Well, yon will find friends here. My
sister and I are alone, also. We will
make you welcome."
Food, warmth and a night' rest did
them much good, and the next day
they felt better. As Emma wa not
able to do her work, Nelly and Grace
wero glad of the chance to earn some
thing by staying and keeping bouse
for tbetr friends.
When the water went down, so Ned
could Inspect the house, be paid them
a good price for It, and they began to
feel quite prosperous again. Ned was
very busy those days, replanting bis
fields, and be was very glad the girls
wero there to look after Emma. Ho
soon found that this was not the only
reason ho was glad to bnve them there.
Ho began to wonder bow he could ever
let Nelly go and he determined to try to
persuado her to bo bis wife. Nelly,
too, had learned a new lesson. She
began to dread the tlmo of separation.
She found Ned ft delightful companion.
Now. don't say that three weeks'
acquaintance was not enough; but Just
remember that two peoplo living in the
same house three weeks will be better
acquainted than in six months under
ordinary circumstances.
When Emma's health wa fully re
covered. Nelly decided it would be bet
ter for them to leave.
"You will not need us now. I think
we will try to rent a houso in W ,
and move our household goods there."
Emma was startled nt this sudden
announcement. She bad not thought
of their leaving.
"Why do you want to go? Why not
make this your home? Wo would be
glad to hnvo you do so."
"I do not think It would bo best for
us to stay; though It has been very
pleasant for us here."
"Then why do you wish to go? We
do not want you to. I shall ask Ned
to persuade you to stay. I believe be
can," Nelly blushed nt this, but made
no reply, and Emma put her arms
around her and whispered, "I would
like to have you for a sister."
When she bad an opportunity to
speak to Ned alone, sbe said:
"Ned, I think if too bad. The girls
are going to leave us now, when we
were all settled so comfortably. Can't
you persuade them to stay?"
"I don't know, but I sbnll try. I
hope I can."
Ned found Nelly alone in tho dining
room.
"Nelly, why must you go away?
Don't you know bow much I want
you? Oh, Nelly, can't you love me?
I can't tell you how dear to me you
have become, how much I love you.
Won't you be my wife? Won't you try
to love me?"
His arms were around her, nnd b
drew her very closo to blm, and kissed
ber, and sbe let ber bead rest on bl
shoulder.
"Nelly, say yon do love me. Say yotf
will be my wife."
"Yes, Ned, I do love you very much.
I will bo your wife." Waverley Mn sa

Rheumatism In Swine.
'An nnusuil number of inquiries

to use two horses. The Illustration

If at Trees Par Shade.
Wa plant out almost Innumerable
shade trees that yield us absolutely
nothing beside their services as para
sols In cummer and perhaps as wind
break in winter. If nut-bearing trees
were planted in their stead they would
make as good a growth, serve tbe pur
pose of the others equally well and
field us a good supply of nuts at tbe
same time. Nearly or quite all of our
nut-bearing tree are hardy In tbe
larger sections of our country, nick
ory, walnut, chestnut, pecan and Al
berts the most common kind of nuts
we bare can be found to some extent
all over this country, and with a little
pain in planting such, and otherwise
gjrlng them due attention, could be
mado to. grow almost anywhere. Tbe
principal reason for this not being done
Is, peoplo bavo not thought of it. We
have been accustomed to buying and
acttlng out all kinds of fruit trees, but
whenever we wanted a supply of nuts
we expected to go to the woods and
gather them. No effort was made to
grow them at home.
Along the walks and lanes in pos
tures, nut-bearing trees might be
slanted either in groves or strips, and
used as wlnd-breuks for stock, the or
chard or tho farm buildings and as a
Combination of shade, protection and
fruit of tbe useful and the agreeable.
Increaie th Poultry,
The average farmer does not keep
poultry enough. A little larger invest
ment in poultry will increase the in
come of the farm and bring a profit
that 'cannot be equalled by the same
amount invested in any other line of
farming. By this I do not mean that
the farmer shall become a fancier or
a poultry specialist, but I do mean
that he usually neglects tbe faithful
hen, and if be will post up on this
branch of live stock husbandry and
take as much pains with his liens as
he does with his other live stock he
can increase his profits with very little
labor and money expended.
Tbe poultry business now is a sta
ble business. Just as much so as hogs
or cattle or the dairy. It used to be
that you could scarcely cell poultry
and eggs at certain seasons of tho
year, but that is not the case now.
There is a market for all the poultry
and eggs that can be produced, and at
fair prices. The Inrgo packers have
developed tbe poultry murUct Just tho
same as they have tbe meat market,
and our poultry and eggs are trans
ported by them to the markets of the
world. Both eggs and poultry are
preserved in cold storage and dlstrl
buted to the people as the market
(warrants.
The farmer Can produce a pound of
chicken Just as cheaply as be can a
pound of beef, pork or mutton, and it
always brings a better price, Wby,

clal Poultry,
Parasites ef Clover.
A popular edition of Bulletin No. 70
hna been issued by the experiment
station of Iowa Stnte College, on the
subject of "Some Weeds of Iowa." It
wa prepared by Dr. L. H. l'omtnel,
botanist of the station. The following
section on the dodder will be found
of interest, for this parasite weed is
found In ninny pnrts of the country.
During tbe lust few years, Dr.
rommel says, dodders have made their
appearance upon clover in different
sections of the country. Five specie
have been reported upon alfalfa and
clover. Mr. Dewey states, from bis
experience, that the dodder is rarely
found east of tbe Missouri River. No
doubt, bowever, it occur occasionally.
Farmers should, therefore, be on tbelr
guard for this plant It belongs to tbe
same family as the common morning
glory.
The dodders are leafless, except the
small scales on the stems; herbs of
yellowish color, with threadlike stems
twining around th plants upon which
they live. They pierce the bark with
small and abort rootlets, which are
called suckers, or naustorla. Tbe
seeds are small, yet there is stored suf
ficient nourishment in them to give the
embryo a start Tbe seed germinates
in tbe soil and grows suillclcntly in
length to allow It to come in contact
with tbe plant npon which it lives,
when It Immediately sends In its suck
ers, and thus becomes established up
on the plant as though it was a part
of tbe host.
The dodders contain no chlorophyll,
the green coloring matter found in
leaves, and hence cannot make plant
food; that is, make starch out of raw
material such as ordinary green leaves
do, but must derive their nourishment
entirely from the host upon which they
live. Such plants are called parasites.
The first and most important point
Is to obtain seed that is free from the
dodder seed. It is best, therefore, to
obtain the seed grown in the Missis
sippi Valley and the East European
seed should not under any considera
tion be purchased. There is likelihood
of some danger from the, East, some
danger from tbe South, and especially
from the West. Clover seed grown in
States south of Iowa is hardly suited
for our conditions, and It is not likely
that the Iowa farmer will purchase
much of this seed.
Farmers cannot too emphatically be
cautioned against sowing dodder in
fested clover seed. Tbe ultimate loss
caused by the dodder will greatly ex
ceed tbe cost of cleaning tbe clover
seed, and clean seed should be bought
at any price.
Tbe dodder may be exterminated
when once established In tbe follow
ing way: First, by the berblcldal
treatment For this purpose a solu
tion of copper sulphate in tbe follow
ing proportions will be found effl-
ALFALFA AND OLOVBR DODDERS.
cacious: Ono pound of copper sulphate
to four gallons of water at the rate
of fifty gallons to tho acre.
It Is advisable to mow the patch If
ft small one, rake the material into a
pile, allowing It to dry, and then burn.
This should be watched carefully, for
If tho seed Is formed young dodder
plants will make their nppearanco up
on the new growth of clover coming
on. So it is best to follow the mowing
by hoeing if tbe patch Is a small one,
and continuing this for several weeks
until all danger of infection is passed.
Dewey recommends keeping the soil
stirred for about two Inches, nnd that
shallow cultivation is best since the
seeds, if buried deeper cannot come
to the surface and Infect the clover

Farm Notes,
There is very little profit in feeding
an old cow grain to make good beef.

Other things being equal, the best

It is the amount digested and assim
