HPiYa'n't to know a thing abont it unlcsa tbey mis- trntt. It'a to he a real surprise," said Lon Harlow, poibiug l)frself, like one about to tako flight, in tke doorway ol Mrs. Qreen's kitchen. "Yon mnst come, Mis' GrecD. 'Twill do yon good to i;et ont. You're too mnob shut np. Unrcll will misa you if yon don't dime. Shu'll want to see ber near oeigbliors, it uobo.ly elae ia there. Qet 'Ilastus to brini; yon down."
..Mra. Oreen ret the teapot farther baek on the sturo anl murmured aa indefinite ".M'm." The inilk bonie door opened with a rattle of paile. Ijou'a eyea tarned slightly ia thnt di¬ rection aa she talked on persistently. "Brother Ed waa going to stop Yes¬ terday aod iuTito yoa, bat he had to go another way, ao I atopped in new. It'a rather late to he giviog inrila- tiona, I know; hut it'n all becu planned in sneh a hurry that we aru out an.l ont fluatercd. I thoaght, too, that I might atir yon up to cuming hotter than Ed could. It does seem too bsd not to have a lot of folks at a tin we 1- ding surprise party.

Tbe kitcheu dour timed ita cloaiug with mathenatioal accnraoy to the issuing of a yonng man from tbo railk honse. Throngh tbe window Mrs. Oreen snw Lou's innocently surprised btart aud cordial bow, bnt thu bit of talk that followed was iosudiblo to her. She felt certain, however, that it wa'l about the surprise party.
"If those Harlows a'n't mnna:;ia' I" WAS her mental coiument, "iiut it'll take more'n a pretty pnttiu' un to make Lou ono mite cngajjin' to 'Itu- tui, I guess."
'Ksstns cnme iu presently, and.arter wa-hing at the sink, sat down to sup¬ per. He was thin and not oror lall, with a vivid boyish complexion und a chin liku his mother's, marked by a decision ihat almost severe coldness of grsy-bluo oyes accontnatod.

"Likely thov won't have moro'u seven dippers," said 'Itantns, helping himielf to it sccuud dish of apple sauce.
Mrs. Green looked disturbed,
"Well, dippers is handv, Evory housekeeper needs two, and they use up quick. Dippers nowadays ain't what dippers used to be. There's hard¬ ly one to bo got but baa a weakness in the solderin'. I don't know what's more provokin' tlisn to havo a dipper- fnl of water come splasbin' onto the tloor and leave notbin' bul a handle in jrour flngera."
The qniok, bright smile flashed over 'Bastns's face.
"Better carry a pan orsometiiingof that kind."
Hia mother took tko suggestion as profoundly serions.
"I haven't one I could spare. Can't we atop for tba Blake giils, 'Rostus? They like to get ont, aod it'a rather far for 'em lo walk now they're failin'. I deolare it goea to my heart to aeo pcxir Misa Betsey ao meeohin' lately. She doean't aeem to know whether her thinga ia on atraubt or not. Last Sanday 'twas all ^ could do to keep my mind on the aeimon for wantin' to straighten ber falae front. 'Twas twisted so tbe portin' was over one eye. And it's real pathetic to see Miss Harriet hoverin' about ber sister and fuaaiu' to make her oomforlable, when all the time Misa Harriet'a the oldest. Hise Betsey ain't bnt sixty-eighl. I ahonldn't wonder if 'twould chick 'em np oonsid'able to go to tbe surprise party this evenin'."
"Well, you can tske 'cm ; I'll walk. Twould be too crowding iuthe buggy for as all, and I don't want to get out the basiness wsgon. There's a spoko loose."
Mrs. Oreen looked narrowly at him ; the repose of his face indioated noth¬ ing.
"But. 'lUstus, I can't hitoh old Nell. Yon know how she acts the minnto we get ont—a oapcrin' and pullin'."
"I'll be on hand to look out for yon." 'Rastua pushed away his chair and the door olosed afler him.
His mother watched aa he went serosa the yard, witb alender ahoulders well thrown back. Bven in ororalU an.l eolored ahtrt he had not the slouclii- oaaa of many farmers.

It had jnst beon mad( orer, and the aize of Ihe sleevea was anpposad to offset the Boantneas of the skirt At any rato, as ahe lold tbe neigbbor dressmaker, "there wain't any more pieces, and 'twaa better tbe scrimpin' should oomo in the skirt; for one's akirt didn't ahow in one's coffin, and if she was to die audden before atylca changed, why, the waist would do niculy for her to bo laid out in.
" I'm real glad I've got tbis to wear to-night," sbe Fnid. Not that there was much oonsulation iu saying aucb a thing to 'Rastus ; hut sbe must say it to aomehoilr, Hu hear.l, however, and answeroil "yes" inau ah.acnt way, as be tilled bix chin belore Ibe small mirror thnt hiiU!; hetweeu tho win¬ dows. With a ciirion<ily nggrieveil fi-eliog his malher noticed how care¬ fully he ami lel phiviii.{ tbo down from his np|ior lip. and that he left a snaplcion of sido whiskers.
"Seems tJP'me you're prinkin' more'n usual," she vonlurcu.
Ho colored. He had a trick of blushing liko a girl.
''I haven't shaved sinco Sunday, and here 'tis Friday. G.iltiuj hard to suit, ii'n't yon, mothor?"
" .\Iebhe." she soid, lacouieally, A moon in its secun I quarter was showing ahuvo the eastern h.irizon as 'Rastus nalked across tbo lota after helping his mothor off. Afllew oriok- ols vibrute.l frum the grass; sweet¬ ness burn of tho first October frosts lent to the air a subtle exhilar<tiug quality whioh gave him on added hiioyauoy. Life seemed on this even¬ ing to open heforo him ra.linnt with hope. When hu leapt a wall ho was in a wheel-worn lano lea.ling fron the main road tu the Harlow House.whose windows were hospitibly alight. Bo- yon.1, at the end of the lane, was aa¬ other hoase, old-fasliioaed and yellow- painted. Tuere livod Mr, and Mrs. Eu<;1ish, two childless middle-aged people, 'i'hey were coming up from ttieir house nun-. As hu waited by tbe fence in the xhrnlow uf a lilac hush hu could see them di-stinctly in tba clear moonliglit—twu somewhat bent fig¬ ures, stepping irregularly. Between tbem walked another figure, with youthful puise nf heud aod shoulders, niiil his heart gave a queer little jump at tho sonnil nt a girl's laugh.
" If I hiiveu't stove my thumb into thia cake," Mrs. English waa saying. "Never mind, nin. Turn it 'lother sido tu when you hnnd it in, and noho.lj'11 uet'o^'i" snggostod her bus- hnml.
The musical girl laugh sonnded again.
"Let mo carry it. Aunt Marlha." With a thrill of satisfaction 'Rastua saw tbo napkin-covered plate change hand«. The alim, quiok atepping liguro was ahead of the others now. As she reached the gate be soi/.ed tbe coveted upporlnnity, and moved for¬ ward, awkwardly snatching ofl bis bst. "Oood ovening, Miss Holland. Let mo open tho gate for yon."
Never did gale latoh so long refuse to lift; and when aho had .puGSod through waa it not to pau^e and turn hack with a protty "Oh dear I" How ho blessed thc rose hrauoh that oangbt her skirt, and eo held her fur his ro- leasiu;;. "Tbank you," sho aaid, de¬ murely, looking uthim with the moon¬ light in her eyea Old Noll oame np at a brisk trot, hut bia mother was niono, sitting vory eroot and holding the reins far apart.
"The Bluko girls couldn't como. Miss Betsey bad a bad turn lost night, and Miss Harriet didn't wnnt to leave her. So yoa see yon oould bavo roJe down well enough. I know you've spoiled your now shoos a-trottiu' throngh the wet grasa 'oroi>s lots."
"Well, yuu won't have to ndc bomo nloue," said 'Rastus, happily, ox he helped her out. Whnt were new shoes iu cumparisua with that ioterch'inge of ginno'j I'rom a girl's eyes? "I don't hcliuve the Harlows wero very muoh surprised after all, mother. When I got here overy window was lighted. We're early, too."
Ooo hy oue, in twos and threos, and merry family loads, tho guosts arrived ; and there was talk and laugh and in¬ terchange of kisses among the women ; au awkward standing aloof or scraps of neighborly ohafl among tho mou, until tbo elder masouline elemont drifted lo Iho kitchen, the younger to the loug hall anil the sitting-room circle was strictly feminine.
With the first clatter of cnps and plates, hernUlii^ oomiug rufresbmeut, the company'a attitude of constraint leasenod; biscuits aud proaervea and as mauy kiuds of cake as there were housowivos present, proved a wouder¬ ful impetus to sooiahility; and when coHee was served, steaming hot and de¬ liciously fragrant, tho last stiff noes was swept away. Some of the mirried men even wandered into the aittiug room and looked. rospeotfolly at Iho tableful ol snob tiu articles as go to fill ths shelves of a well-stocked pan¬ try ; the younger people iutetmiugled freely; games started ; a girl with an untrained, linnet-like voice seated her¬ self at tho atshmatio melu.looo and sang from tho "Gospel Hymns." Tho Harlow's "tin wedding sarjp riae" was a social success.
Lou Barlow, bustling about among the guests, was moro busily hostess- like than Mrs. Harlow herself. "Sarell uever mislruHted until the last min¬ ute," she ws'i tolling everyuno. "When wo snggested her fixing mure'n usual for tbe evening, she said sbo jast knew sometbing was np."
"Yes, it was a real surprise until tben," corroborated Sarell Harlow, her usually qniet face very animated. "I didu't suppoae anyone wonld re¬ member that Will and I had been mar¬ ried ten years to-day. It's real pleas¬ ant to havo ouc'a friends su remembsr- inpt."
.Mrp. Greec, taking inventory ot the tin things ou the table, smiled bouig- oantly upon the speaker. She bad found bnt une dipper among the pile, anl naturally felt the prestige of be¬ ing the only p.rsun who had given an unduplicateil article. Mra. Doilgson, tbe local merohant'i. wi/e, began talk- icg at brr elbuw.

A correspondent of tho Rural New Yurker aays : I have bad uo oxperience with shredded fodder, hut last fall I threshed my fodder, which, for all practical purposes, amunnts lo the camo thing. I husked my corn by hand, then bad the fodder run through nn old wheat soparator. It was very dry, when run throngh, and it was stored in the mow. It kept nice nnd bright, nnd horses, cattle and sheep ate it with apparent relish. I am just now feeding the last uf it tu tho horses, giving it to thom only nt night. It IS a cheap juid aatiifactory feed. I do not think I shall over ieed whole fodder another winter, Thc threshed fodder can be atorcd in about oae- tliird the space it would occupy if left whole, a much Inrgcr portion of it is catou by tho stock, and what ia not eaten is in a condition lo make excel¬ lent bedding.

Yet tbero are aoores and hunlrods uf fnrmora who tbrow Mil curn, aud coru alone, to tbeir t6wlt from December to April aud Iheii de¬ clare that "bens eat Iheir beads ofl every wiuter." Thia omnivoroai quality of fowls gives the ponltry- keeper the opportunity of making np a ration ol tbe foods at his command thnt will pro.lnce tho' result sought.
The fnr-hnck parents ol our domestic fowls mixeil tbeir moat aud vegetablef OS gathered on tbu rnnge; tbe sno- cessful puultry-kceper of to-day mnsI mix tbem fur his fowls to reach the ond Rought at tho least cost.
Variety is tho "spice" in n fowl'c food. In selecting and mixing tbr "variety" we are goverued more bj our surroundings than by choice. Tbe farmer of tbo West will continue to use all tha cnrn he oan eonaiatontly with a good rntion, while the New Euglander near the acaboard will feed all the fish consistent with good re¬ sults.
Whatever the ration, wholesome- ness mast he kept in miud. Moldy corn, rotten potatoes and pntrid flesh ore not wholesome, altboagb fowls will cat tbem. Perhaps tbe theory advanced by some that tha gizzard removes tho ohjectional features cf such feed ia correct, bat our experience teaches ns the flavor, color aod qn.ility of eggs aro aflected by feed. This being the case it doei not seem reasonable that all im- puritiuH are removed from food by beiug passed through a heu'a gisiard.
Experience alau toaohea that fowla have sickened aud died whon uo cause hut improper food oould be fonnd. It is safer not to take chances anyway, and it is much pleasanter, to say tbe least, to ent eggs and puultry not pro¬ duced from uffiil, carriun or rottou graiu.—Farm, Field and Fireside.

It hns been fonnd thai five ainglo ncro plots will feed ono-tliird more sheep tban a single five-acru field will. Aud the benefit thns realized has fnlly repaid the cost of fooeing in ooe year. Tho figures given of oourse apply to larger fields ns well aa to  small ones.
It is the imperative duty of the goo.l Hhephord tu save hia flocks irom tbuso fxasperating flics, which tor¬ ment tho sheep by Iny ing eggs on the nostrils. These pruduoe the grain which are fouud iu tbo nasal sinuses, often killing tho sheep by the irrito- tiun tbuy cauae. Tbe simplo remedy is to keep the noses ol the sheep tarred in any possihlo way.
Alfalfa needs good managoment to make hoy. The leavea ore ao apt to drop oil', leaving merely a meaa ol hard, wuo.iy stalka of littlo value, that muoh care is ueedod. Tho crop iibould be out hofore Ihe stalka are bitrd, and gnthored into cocks befuro tho boy is dry. Tbou thero is loss risk of break¬ ing oft' tho lenves nud the curing in the cock toughens these stalks.
If 0 crop of mixed peaa and onts has not been put in for the shoop this year it shunid uut ho forgotten next. It is tho best green or dry fodder crop for tho fluok, either for summer or win- tor feeding. If one has no othor grain than theso two, mixed and ground together ralher cuarsely, for the sheep, ho will hnve nu reasun to cumplaiu, und tho dried fodder is entcii not uuly with greut relish, but it is the must uutritiuus of all rongh- uebs.

Thu greatest fear of tbe ahepberd at this timo is Ihe etagunnt woter by which the sheep are infected by tbof« injuriiiiis worms which produce tbe two most serious diaordera of tbe flock- the throat thread worma and thu Iivor riukoa For the latter, aail is 0 true apociUo, alwaya preventing this disease.
MnuAtIs never yet hurt a aheep; on tbu cuutrnry tbey will be helpfnl to Ihem. Tbese routs are nut only digea- tihle, fully and wholly, being all digested and assimilated by tbe sheep, bat Ihis digustibility helps to digest other food. It is now too late to sow a crop of IbcBo ruots, but tbe next best thing to he done is lo sow white turnips uuy timu this month, and r.ntlii'r them before tho bard frusta nccnr.
