strongly tinctured with a look of re
lief. "I can't tell you how much obliged
I am, Mr. Reame," the young man
said. "I couldn't help but feel that
now this trouble has come you wouldn't
.want me around."
'I've lived right here on this farm
for fifty-six years," replied Beame,
"and there's no one above ground who
can say that I ever asked man, woman
or child to take part in any of my
quarrels."
The young man nodded. "There lent
many men who can say that'
"It isn't that I've anything against

Eeame. "But for nearly sixty years
I've watched the birds build their
nests in those trees. I climbed those
hickories for nuts when I wasn't big
ger than a pint of cider, and It's been
to those maples that I've looked for
the first signs of sap. Maybe they're
not mine. I don't know. I've always
supposed they were, and they shan't
be cut down without a fight to save
them."
Out from the house down to the gate
Where the men were talking came a
girl, dressed all In pink, a soft, fluuy
pink which reminded one of a cloua
at sunrise, while her cair lay puea
nhovi her head in a treat mass or
golden light. She gave the young man
simple nod of greeting wnue passing
hand throueh her iatoers arm. tier
presence seemed to bring a constraint
npon the recipient of the nod, for he
spoke with a diffidence not noticeable
before.
"We supposed when we bought our
place that the trees belonged to us,
and when yon said they were your
property father had the land surveyed.
The decision was that the trees were
on our land or. of course, father would
never have touched them. They are
grown eo large that the field la practi
cally useless because of their shade.
Nothing will ripen there."
- Tve had surveys made myself,"
came Beame's ready response. "It has
been done three times to my certain
knowledge and each time in my favor.
Besides, i offered to buy the field of
your father, not because I cared for
the Ufid, but to preserve the trees."
-He doesn't want to seir-tbe eyes
of the young man were on the girl In

She did not wait for an answer, but
with head high in air and a poor at
tempt at a dignity which had no exist
ence she turned and left them. They
watched until the shrubbery hid her
from sight, and then Reame turned to
Ben, with a smile.
"I didn't think she'd take it quite so
much to heart," he said, "but she's
pretty hard hit Those trees hare
been her playmates for a good many
years now."
"If we had only known," said Ben,
"perhaps it might bnve been avoided,

be has a right to do as be pleases with
his own. It's making it nrettv hard
for me, though. I didn't think Vlnnie
would turn me down as she has."
"And she'll persist You're between
two fires now." Beame paused, glanc
ed around and continued:
"The air Is hotter than boiling oil.
and unless I'm mistaken we'll get
regular northwester before dark.
There's some tools down at the ex
press office I must get up before It
reaches here, so I'll go along to your
place with you, Ben."
They walked slowly on in the after
noon sunshine. The air was hot and
the sun beat down with a fervor
which was almost overpowering. Away
to the west a cloud was banging, low,
black and ominous. Not a breath of
wind was stirring, and the leaves of
the maples bung wilted from their
stems. The birds barely skimmed the
earth in their flight, and the crows
were keeping up an incessant cawing,
while a peacock on the rail fence
which separated the Holcolm garden
from tbe barnyard was filling the air
with Its discordant cry.
"We are to have a storm, and that
before Beame gets home again," mut
tered Ben after his companion had
left him. "No matter. It can't be any
worse than the one we stirred up
when we chopped that maple down
Who'd have thought It would have
brought on all this trouble? Who do
those trees belong to, anyway? Beame

be was standing on sure ground.
He stopped at the fence and looked
at the sky. The cloud In the west
was no nearer, tbe air was stifling,
while a mutOed grumbling kept sound
ing away off where the cloud hung.
"I'll eet tbe cattle under cover," he
said to himself. "When that cloud
gets to moving there'll be something
doing, or I'm no Judge."
A half hour later the cows were
housed, the chores well under way,
and he was In the mow of the barn
throwing down bay, when there came
a sound like the roar of a breaking
dam, a crash that deafened, and all
was black as mid
night. Tbe rain
came In torrents,
beating upon the
roof like pebbles
thrown from a
thousand slings.

Alfalfa Feed.
The Bouthern Agrlonllratt.
During the past few years the
increased number of mixed feeds
put on the market has been no-
tinahlA Thia in dim tn ati nffort,
on the part of the manufacturers
to meet the demand for a balanced
ration. These various kinds of
feeds differ in the materials which
they contain. The poorer mater
ials are always treated with mo
lasses to cover up their poor qual
ity and make them palatable to
the stock. One of the best grades
of mixed feed now on the market
is the alfalfa.
Of late the grinding of alfalfa
feed has become quite an industry
in the middle West. The growth
in that section is due to the fact
that alfalfa is quite a staple crop.
Alfalfa meal is being put on the
market under various trade
names. The various brands have
been found, on examination, to
come up to their guarantee in
every case. No manufacturer has
made any attempt so far to adul
terate or misrepresent them. This
fact has brought alfalfa meal very
much in demand in the middle
West.
From tbe experiments in a num
ber of stations it has been found
that alfalfa is a most valuable
food for all classes of farm ani
mals. In sections where a large
number of cattle and sheep are
fitted for the market it has be
come indespensable to the stock
man. Alfalfa, as the analysis
shows, contains a high percent of
protein and carbohydrates an d a
low per cent of fat. To make up
this deficiency in fat and produce
a balanced ration various mater
ials are mixed with alfalfa meal.
Dlgestation experiments have
shown that the nutritive consti
tuents of alfalfa are in a highly
digestible condition. It is claim
ed that the digestibility of the
hay is changed less by curing
than that of any other forage
plant. -In addition to this good
point, It is highly palatable to
farm animals at all times. This,
of course, adds materially to its
value. '

Grape Cream of Tartar
Who Introduced the English Spar
row.
A correspondent
Philadelphia Press
asked the
who intro
duced the first English sparrows
into America and received this
answer:
"The first English sparrows to
be brought to this country was in
1850. when Nicholas Pike and
other directors of the Brooklyn
Institute imported eight pairs.
These did not thrive and others
were brought in 1852 and a num
ber of subsequent dates. By the
end of 1800 the sparrows had
spread over the greater portion of
the United States east of the
Mississippi aud North of Florida.
Just how much territory the
sparrow covers now is not defln
itely known, but scarcely any
district in the north temperate
zone seems to have escaped its
unwelcome encroachments. 1 1
was the belief of those who im
ported the birds that they would
exterminate the destructive in
sects. So far from this being
true, they themselves have been
particularly harmful to grain and
many other products, and have
become greater pests than the in
sects it was hoped they would de
stroy."
The introducers of this greatest
of all pests among the feathered
tribe doubtless did not realize the
serious injury they were doing
the country.
