Almost in silence the two men waded through tho deep snow towards Moose Lake, occasionally snouting, m hopes of a response. "I fear she is bur ned under a drift," said Ben at last ; but just then a loud, joyful barking from Hags attracted their attention. "I declare, if that 'ere dog ain't a diggin' at the bar-trap, and I believe there's a bar in it," and be hurried in that direction. Sure enough tho box had fallen, and Hags was scratching round it with might and main.

Daisy awoke blight and well,and so surprised to find herself out in the woods in Ogla's arms; but old Ben shook his head sorrowfully, as ho laid the still unconscious Jack' by his cabin lire, and tiied to rub a little waiinth into his stiffened limbs hut it was long be foie tho boy opened his eves, and came slowly back to life. "Another half hour and be would 'a bin fioo dendei than a door nail," said Ben Meanwhile "W'allhani was in a high tato of excitement.

This is more largely the case West than Bast, but truo in both. Foimerly it was mostly manual skill in the use of simplo implements, such as the sickle, the scythe, and the common walking plow. Xow the fauuer needs (o know how (o adjust, run, and care for machinery. Machines properly handled call for little manual expcitness to urn them. But to manago the present implements requires a degrcec of me chanical skill that a large proportion of our fanners do not possess.

In the Winter it strengthens and warms the system; in the Spring it enriches the blood and conquers disease; in the Summer it gives tone to the nerves and digestive organs ; in the Fall it enables the system to stand the shock of sudden changes. In no way can disease be so surely pi evented as by keeping the system in pci fect condition.
