CHAPTER II.
,\1r. Bennett came in. sank in¬
to hia chair and put on the
warm slippers/a if it wasa rnat
ter of course. Bescy didu'tcare ;
Hhe didn’t do these things to he
thanked for, but b)io did tbcni
because nhe loved her papa dear
]v, and liked to see him happy
She always looked contented
when lie came, and titled
down and picked up his papers.
But that night her papa didn’i
take up his papers at all, hut
sat gazing into the glowing "
coals in the grate, and two long
wrinkles extended across Ids
forehead, and an anxious look
was on his stern, rigid face.
Bescy sat silently and still and
held her kittens. After awhile
Mrs. Bennett came and stood
by her husband’s chair, and
smoothed his black saving haii
from his broad business forehead.
No one hut Bescy‘s mama ever
<hd that. Suddenly Mr. Bennett
looked up, and said : “Well,
dear, I reckon the next thing
will ho that you and tho chil
dren will he turned into the
(streets ; the mill is gone.’
-The mill gone?” Mrs. Ben
nett asked excitedly, “ What
will vve do, Mr. Bennett i
“I’m euro I don’t know ; if 1
could have kepi the mill 1 would
have been satisfied I will nevei
tie happy without it.” Turning.
l,e said to Bescy, “You in here,
Bescy ? Run out; I’m troubled
enough tonight without having
you listen to all 1 have to say—
go oul” Betsey got out very rap
j,lly. Her Utile heart was crush¬
ed as the cruel wind will bruise
tender flower and leave it
a
withered before a scorching sun.
Hhe crept into the cold parlor,
nestled up ou the sofa and d ied
as if her heart would break. Hhe
could never recall a time when
the streets looked so lonely and
deserted, which, coupled with
tlltJ t'lUOWOll of sorrow in hei
l,eai t, made Lev intensely miser¬
able. The quiet w as linally bro¬
ken by lu roister who came in to
jiractio- her music, and found
Bescy ina helpless flood of team.
She took Urn little K‘i'1 i>do her
arms, laid her throbbing bead
upon her shoulder, smoothed oni
her nut brown curls aud quieted
her enough to get the sad stoiy
that was in the little girls heat t.
Vida’s indignation arose at once,
fur the little girl was the pet of
the household, she said, “1 think
papa might be kinder to you
than ho i * \ ho uh cross as hu
old bear tonight.” Bescy waited
to hear no more, but scrambled
down an l ran to tho seclusion of
her own room to hide her tears,
leaving Vida wondering what a
queer child she was. That night
when she went to bed she bad
two quarters—her worldly for¬
tune—iu her closed hand; the
next day she purchased a bank
aud turned miser. For weeks
after when Bescy was at school
aud would think, of her pleasant
days there, never to return, she
would cry as if her heart would
break One afternoon Vulaask
ed Bescy What she was crying
about, aud . thinking , • . - to soot lie
her, said,"Papa is as cross aa an
old bear.” Bat Bescy lifted her
tear Stained little face, and said,
“He not he , just . t-rou
s cross ; s
Lied,” and Vida never said again
that “Papa was as cross as a
bear.”
Bescy‘s bank was a standing
joke v ,kp in HI L\ie me familv family. Many Manv a a nick- nick

mama and papa were seated on
the veranda talking. It was a
lovely night in summer; the
trellises were covered with thick
rich evening glories ; the sha¬
dows of the leaves as they sway¬
ed gently in the summer breeze
drew upon the window the most
-Hiking silhouettes that one
might wish to see. The conver¬
sation had continued some time,
when suddenly that magical
word, “mill.” lloated in to Bes¬
cy. This is what she heard :
‘You know I bought the mill
back some time ago, and the
second payment and other notes
were due today, and it took ev¬
ery dollar 1 could raise without
going in debt, and that I will
never do.” Bescy waited to hear
no more ; she could scarcely be¬
lieve what she had heard. Her
papa had really bought the mill

Summary of Hrpurt, U,c,-lv„d by Com
tnl-aloner Ncliltt imrlniE Ilia Mouth.
COTTON.
This, tin most important of all our
crops, has b-en much improved by the
sunshine mid rains of the past month,
but-is still short of an acreage crop ill
size of plant- and date of blooming. The
condition Throughout the state is goo 1,
most- of the iietds being free from gra-s
aud well wonted. There has been some
damage to the staud from cool weather
and lice, but ou flie whole the stun 1 is
fair. There has been little complaint
through the mouth of too much or too
little rain, aud the inference is that ev¬
ery county in the state has so lar been
blessed with good cropmakiug weather
With everything favorable during the
rest of the season Georgia should make
three fourths of last year’s crop.
Cons.
This valuable crop prottiites well all
over the state, and with a few more
weeks of seasonable weather we will
have enough to supply all our
wants wituout buying from our
sisier states. In tho lower half
of the state tho crop, as a rule, is
“laid by,” and the last plowing will
soon be given in middle and uppor
Georgia. On the bottom lauds the corn
is still small, hut is growing off nicely
and with a flue color.
WUF-AT.
VThilo but little was planted, wheat
has done very well—20 to 25 bushels
per acre being made by many farmers. -
Little or no rust and the grain well
filled out and heavy. Many dollars
would be saved by the farmers of mid¬
dle aud north Georgia if they would
plant at least enough wheat to supply
their home wants. Tho crop has been
harvested in good condition.
OATS.
Two sowings of fall and winter oats
having been killed, there was but a
small crop planted iu the spring by the
discouraged farmers. Those planted,
however, have generally done well aud
a good crop now rewards tboss farmers

A larger area than usual has been
planted iu this "ahiable food crop, aud
prospoot at present is good for a
lar ge yield. It would be well if the
farmers would take more care than
heretomre iu saving tins crop through
the cold weather. The two essential

FRUIT.
Every section of the state lias shared
in one of the most bountiful fruit crops
ill t ie history of the state. Berries of
ch" tn enough in price to be within the
reach of all. Thu only drawback in
connection with the truit crop has been
the aonon* blighting of the pear trees
in smith Georgia and the consequent
ferions injury to that fruit. We hope
that the near growers will eventually
(ljM .,, v ,. r t „ e remedy, and having learned
to e mrrol and destroy the blight,
indti-trv will Boot regain its
magnitude.
STOCK.
Mst of the reports indicate a consul
erablo hn-r.-ase in the number of hogs
in the state, with very iittle disease
amount them. The condition of stock

Qukstion ifi fodder —Please tell me howto
cn ^ a " 1 cure corn.
Asswru lo —From the Farmer and
p-mit Grower we take tho following
excellent method:
"Cut when it begins to silk and tassel.
Do tliis early in the morning, if tavor
able, and let it wilt in the snu till
noon. If it threatens to rain, shock up
and bind tightly around the top with
corn stalks. If favorable weather,
turn the fodder and let it lie till late in
the afternoon and then shock, and be
sure to bind the top, or, better, if yon
have good shelter, where yon can stand
it up and let it cure, do so. As little as
tho refuse stuff at the sawmills will
cost, it will pay anybody to, and any
body can, make one. With a properly
prepared rack, an immense amount can
be hauled at one load. In cutting, do
not cat more than you can easily taks
care of each day.”
ENSILAGE.
Question 14.— Ploase toll me some¬
thing about ensilage. I am interested
in stock rais'ng, but have little experi¬
ence in tho management of ensilage,
which is said by those who have tried
it to bo first class dairy stock food.
Answer 14.—Ensilage has already
passed its experimental stage, and has
been . ccepted and adopted by many
dairymen and fanners, says an ex¬
change: ‘‘It provides succulent food—
a great necessity, especially for dairy
stock—during the long winter, cheaper
than can bo provided in any other way.
It is also of great importance in the
fall, as one of the laws to successful
feeding is not to make sudden changes
from green, succulent feed to dry feed
when cattle are taken from pastures.
“Ensilage bears tho same relation to
dry fodder that canned fruit does to the
dried. Is it any wonder that cows pre¬
fer the succulent article, or that the
latter is the better substitute for juicy
food and will produce more milk than
an equal amount of dried cornstalks?
Any one who has tried it knows the
difficulty of keeping vp the flow of milk
on dry feed. Good care, with early
cut, well cured hay aud corn fodder,
and a liberal grain ration will do a good
deal, but as the winter advances tho
cows will surely, though slowly, shrink
ill their flow, while they lay on flesh
instead Tho use of roots will prevent
this shrinkage of the milk flow, but the
cost of raising snol} food for stock is too
great. We must either go on in tho
old way, d ying off onr cows in tho
most important season, or else we must
make ensilage.
“The on' - bar to the universal use of
succulent food is prejudice The odor
from eusilt *e has caused many to de¬
clare that it tainted tho milk, thereby
affecting tho flavor of the butter. So
widespread is this belief that many of
the large milk dealers still stipulate In
their contracts with the farmers that
no ensilage shall bo fed. This idea
doubtless arose irom the fact thatwheu
ensilage was'first introduced, 15 years
ago, ignorance of tho proper method of
building ami filling silos caused the pro¬
duction of damaged, rotten ensilage.
The prejudice still lingers, though the
spread of knowledge has removed the
causo.
“That eusilago is a good, healthful
food is shown by the fact that cows will
eat it eagerly and thrive upon it. It is
not iu itsjlf a completo ration. It
should be fed sprinkled with meal and
bran. This makes an excellent meal.
At other times hay should be fed, or
oats, barley, peas, etc. While ensilage
should be the base, it is desirable to
feed a variety, giving the cow the
chauge she so much enjoys. Ensilage
is the cheapest and healthiest food for
stock, aud it has come to stay.”
