that 373,000 tons less of beet root has
been grown In the beet nxt growing

amounts in each country to about 100,000

rirliinir the land and increasing its prod
ucts. An advantage frequently results
from alternating the clover crops with
rye and buckwheat, and when used for
this purpose tne rye suouiu oe lurueo

3. A constant attention to clean seed
and in nrocurinv and improving the va
rieties will sometimes make an tne uu-
rence between encouramng profits and
iscouraninir failure. Various graces ol
success will result between the two.
4. Convenient tools and convenient
buildings will be essential in all good
farming. The lalior of horses will be
better and cheauer than hard work by
hand. Costly and. complex machines are
not wanted; a few simple and ellicient
innli'inenta mav accomplish a great
deal, A spacious toolhonse and shelter
for all when not in use may keep them
in smooth running order and double
their durability. 1'lows, harrows, culti
vators, harvesting implements, seed
cleaners and variot 1 hand tools will often
make the difference between clean, met
low land with growing, luxuriant crops
and weedy, slipshod premises.
fv llompstiR Animals. rne most Drot-
itable breeds or grades are obviously ol
much importance, the rapid increase of
one animalB ot late years giving oppor
tunities all through the eountry for se
curing what mav be desired. Poor ani
mals are not wanted by purchasers, but
good ones pay better in several ways.
6. Raising Fruit. The fanner who has
established a good routine of work for
the season cannot have tins series uronen
in upon by work of a different character,
which the marketing of perishable small
fruits would require. It he carried on
his thriftv larm work efficiently, he wouiu
be led to give imperfect attention to the
berries and not attend properly to the
work of cultivating, picking, assorting,
selecting market and other essentials ;
and it is this attempt to carry on at once
two unlike kinds of business that has
given the copious supply of poor fruit in
the markets ol the country at large, ur
charding winter apples, however, is not
liable to same objection, where the delay
of two or three days may not destroy the
chances of a whole crop, as with perish
able fruits. The farmer may make the
raising of winter apples a part of his
farm routine. Tbe required pruning of
the trees need not check his other oiera-
tions; the application of fertilizers to
the sou need not tnterlere with their ap
plication to other crops, ami the spray
ing of the trees would be a" easily done
as the work on the potato bugs. The
careful assorting of only the best for bar
reling and shipping might properly lorm
apartol the autumn work, iiiiscxciu
sion of perishable fruits from the bus!
ness ot marketing should never prevent
the moderate farmer from raising a fam
ily supply, requiring but a small portion
of the care and labor of select market
ing. Strawberries, cherries, raspberries
and currants, which would do their own
marketing on the farmer's table, and a
sufficient supply of peaches, pears and
grapes neea not require any suennce 01
j 1- - -
the growth 01 other crops.
7. Vigilance, temperance 'and estab
lished order will be absolutely necessary
to make farming pay in the best manner.
The farmer must not spend his hours in
idle talk at the blacksmith shop, tavern
or saloon, nor make his reading of frivo
lous publications. The young farmer
who has not succeeded in making farming
pay to his satisfaction must not expect
to accomplish his desires at a dash in a
single year. A steady, onward progress
will reach a great dea'l in the end. The
business will become attractive to him
aa he succeeds, in the same wav that fail
ure wonld render it repulsive to him and
tend to drive him to other operations to
which greater- objections would be
found.

Meg wheeled the carriuge close to tnesnow
window and fastened tne wneei wnn
atone so that it couldn't roll off.
Julia sat still, gazed with attention at
the resoleudent advertisements of Jenk'a
soap and Tompkins' ginger, although she
must have known these placards oy ucaro.
Babies have to endure so much which they
do not understand that tt is not surprising
that the become Dhilosophers.
Hurd's was crowded, as It always was in
tbe morning, but Meg did not object to
waiting. She chatted with Katie Allen and
Lou French, and even .drew out ner uuy
and did two rows before the salesman bad
time to attend to her.
Then she ordered sugar and tea with
s-rand an air as that worn by Mrs. Pouson
bv. who "resided" In a lour story Drown
stone bouse oa a styiisu avenue, wnue
Meg lived in a "third Hat." ,
"Wait for mel" said Katie Allen. "I've
got to go to the butcher's."
"All right," answered Meg.
She waited, and when Katie started she
walked with her, talking briskly, down the
street almost a block before she suddenly
cried, "Oh! I forgot the babyl"
"What baby r" asked Katie.
"Why, I had our baby with me, and I've
gone and left the carriage outside the
store!"
"There wasn't any baby at the door when
we came out," replied Katie.
"Sure enough," said Meg, "there wasn't!"
She gazed in bewilderment at Kate's
round eyes, and then cried:
"Ob, I know! I came in at the otner
door that's it She's round on Harrison
street."
Tbe girls ran laughingly liuck.and turned
the corner. There was no baby nor car
riage there. , '
They stared nt each other, and Katie
would have laughed, but that Meg looked
so solemn.
"Perhaps you didn't bring her."
"Yes, I did! I left here just here. I know
I did!"
Could the carriage have rolled down the
street!"
Meg looked up and down tbe street in
vain, tio carriage waa lu signt.
Perhaps a policeman thought she was
lost and took ber to the station house,"
suggested Kate.
Meg began to cry. Kate s words seemed
cruel.
"Run home quick and tell your mother
about It!"
Meg took Katie's advice. She ran fast,
for she waa fiighteued. Mra. Sackett heard
ber story, and gave ber a severe scolding
for carelessness.
Some boy took it to scare you. It must
be about tbe neighborhood. Go and look!"
She ordered. She was a bard workiug
woman, and treated things iu a matter of
(act way.-. . 1
Rut when Meg came back to report that
no one bod seen bnby or carriage any
where, Mrs. Suckett became alarmed. She
forgot to scold this time. She put on her
bonnet and seurcheil the street thorough
ly. She inquired at all the stores, and
even went to the police station. .
Coming bock from her fruitless expedl
tlon she dropued wearily into a chair by
the door. Meg amid not bear to see ber
mother's white f iice. She picked up her
bat and crept down stairs.
An orgau man was playing a lively tune,
and Lou French's little sisters were dano-
lug to the music, , Tbey came up to ask
Meg "If tbe baby was found," and Meg,
without looking nt them, choked and
rushed down the street. She walked on in
a breathless state for several blocks, and
happened to pause for breath just where
there sat, on a doorstep, a boy about twelve
years old, with a woebegone and tear stain
ed face.
Meg looked at him and asked abruptly,
"What's the matter! Have you lost
baby!"
Lost a babyl" shouted tbe boy indig
nantly. "You clear out of this!"
He seemed to look as if be thought she
was making sport of him.
Meg waa glad to "clear." She bad only
spoken out of the abundance of her
thoughts. She walked along, surveying
absently the windows she passed. She
wondered if all the babies who lived in
those houses were safe, or If their parent
were bunting for any of thera In grocery
stores and police stations.
At the next corner she stopped again.
Three women stood there talking. Said
one of them, a small woman:
"I told her, any I. 'Mrs. Smith, yon'd
better report it at tho station house. It
belongs to somebody that's looking for it,
of coarse!' says L" , - . .
"She wouldn't take the trouble. She's

sarcastically. '
