Tlio applicant was dressed neatly

pairing eyes to tho farmer's face with
a look that at onco appenlcd to his heart.
"Did you ever work on tho farmr"
nsked tho kind-hearted Mr. Miles.
"Hut cry little sir. I cm soon learn

"Havo you long been seeking em-
ployment?" "JTes sir I havo been traveling from

Preston Flat wan a strip of country
lying on the cast sldo of Preston creek
about a dozen miles in oxtent anil
four or live miles in width. It was a
bcttlemcnt completely shut In by sur-
rounding hills and bluffs. Tho valley
was undulating and very fertile.
Tho valley had n small village at tho
head of It under tho Mgnlficant name
of Itushvlllo. In Freston Plat tho un-
ambitious farmer was born grew old
nnd died littlo knowing or caring
about tho great conflicts which ngitated
the otiUitlo world.
Ho raised his corn oats and wheat:
ho fed his com to his hogs horsos cat-
tlo and sheep; his wheat was ground
into flour by tho miller at Utisliville
and furnished him bread.
Nearly every farmer's wifo wns a
weaver and tho bang of looms and tho
whirr of wheels could bo heard from
on end of tho valley to tho other.

Tho farmer then stralihlvrittd him-
self up and leaning n hfi nxo began
to put what In his estimation wero
some asluto cross questions.
"When did you loavo QuconstownP"
"About ten days ago."
"What havo jou been doing slnccf''
"Traveling nbout Hid VJOlintry and
looking for worki"
"h this the ilrst llmo you ever played

ly put nnd mado tho cheeks oi tho
young mnn tlnglo with shame.
Poverty ami hunger had subdued to
a gront extent his onco proud spirit
Hint a few weeks ago would not havo
borno such nn Insult. In a tono both
sad and truthful ho answered!
"Yes sir it is."
"Whnt buMnuj havo you been en-
gaged In In Qitcenstown?"
'lhls question mado the young man's
heart leap.
Ho had both expected nnd dreaded It
from tho beginning.
Looking tho farmer In tho face ho
answered without tho slightest hesita-
tion. "I wns a clerk sir."
"hi what?"
"A store."
"What kind?"
"(enoral relnll tlry-goods store."
"Why did you quit It?"
"I suddenly found myself thrown
out of employment by n business
chango in tho lirm."
This answer was all truth yet Wal-
ter felt that ho wns tolling nfalsohood
In kccilliiff back a part.
"Why did you not seek employment
In some other store; thcro aro plenty of
them In QuecnMown"
"There arc" admitted tlio vouth
"and I applied to all but thov did not
want clerks. Times aro hard on mer-
chants and at laut I resolved to. go to
tho country and seek labor on a farm.
I need the exorcise and don't feci my-
kolf abovo work."
Tho last expression ploased tho prac
tlcal fanner who held in contempt the
man or boy who shunned manual toil.
That is sensible young man and I
believe that In epito of your soft white
hands you will succeed. Wo have not
inucn to no lor winch It Is necessary
to cmnioy n nanu but thero is corn-
cuttln and It will soon bo gatherin'
time. Tho sorghum's to grind and
make and plenty o' chores I 'guess to
keoo all three o' you boys busy"
He paused abruptly as though ho woro
again debating tho question In his
mind.
Walter fearing that ho might niter
his resolution and send him on as so
many others had dbnc said:
"I assure jou sir I shall do my best
to please you I only ask you to gio
mo a trial and If 1 fail you can then
dlschargo mo."
"That's fair but I declar' there's not
much to do" said tho farmer.
"Then sir tlio wages can bo fixed to
rorrospond. I am fired of tramping
about tlio country" said Walter al-
most despairingly.
"I II tell yo what I'll do" tho farmer
at last said. "I've not got mueh to do
but if you'll work hore ntflv dollars a
month its nil right. If tho work'll jus-
tify it I'll raise your wages."
Tho prieo was n mere pittance but
learning thatitineludod his board Wal-
ter accepted rather than trudgo fur-
ther. Tho farmer then told his youngest
son. n strapping youth of seventeen to
carry the young man's bundle ipto the
house whilo John tho older son. and
Walter wont after a load of rails to
mend tho fence. It wns thus that Wal-
ter Hrownlield commenced ns a hired

Mr. Mllos' family consisted of ids
wife two sons and a daughter who
wont by tlio name of "J'lnkoy." Mrs.
Miles wns n good-natured motherly
dame who was at homo only with cows
nun poultry.
Tho sons woro robust young mon
who had Inherited their father's consti-
tution and their mother's good nature.
Kach to ue his own expression "was
as strong us an ox."
Thero is no moro beautiful specimon
of God's handiwork than tho hardy
sons of the soil whom wo lind In tho
rural districts. It is these same farm-
ers' sons of tlio soil who not only fur-
nish tlio muscle of our country but the
largest amount of liraini.
It Is those robust inrm lads who

who doubt our assertion to juut think

Hut wo bog pardon we aro wander-

The morning after Walter Drown-
Hold's engagement to Mr. Miles ho
was aroiiHxl at early dawn by John
Miles ntulging him lu thu side saying:
"It is ntout tinin farm mon wero up.
Wo must git out nnd feed."
"Yuti mean go to breakfast?" asked
Walter rubbing hli oyea sleepily nnd
contrasting this early rising with tho
ploasant morning nap he was permitted
to tako in the city.
"Dreakfnei no!" said John in a
tone of some contempt "D'jo Vpoio

snappishly. "Den's beon gone for un

Ir. Mllos.
"How long has that youngchap been

kins reverting to tho subject which
teamed to Interest him.
"About two weeks or ten days" was
the answer.
"What Is his-name?"

to a much greater extent than is gen-

the best result. It Is not necessary to
sow different plats for this purpose as
the application can bo made to small

Considered the moro ancient and aristo-
cratic of the two. It Is said that
sorghum which is the ffHrrrt of tho
Kast was tho plant originally used by
thu Chinese in making sugar. The
iIIITcrcnees between the two plants aro
many and vital despite their botanical
grouping. The sugar-cane (Sarchnrum
ojjirinarum Linn.) Is n perennial plant
growing In favorable localities tomo-
tlnios for lifty years from tho same
roots propagated nut by seed but from
cuttings of slow growth and requiring
in tho ttoples often from fourteen
months to two years for its develop-
ment. Tho sorghum (Sorjlnim
vnlanre Pcrs ) which Is really a cereal
and much moro like mttlzo than like
sugar-cane is nn annual grown from
seed nnd maturing often within three
months. Tho sugar-cane is of thick
and sturdy growth with n great deal
of woo.iv fiber in its outer envelope
nnd with a tough nnd dense internal
.structure. Tho sorghum Is taller and
moro slender of n softeroutcrstriieture
nnd Ios dcno pith. Tho sorghum un-
like tho sugar-cane Is crowned with n
cluster of edible seeds tho "seed-
head" ticd as food for men as well as
for cattle. Thero aru a number of
specios of sugat-canc although all are
supposed to hare developed by cultiva-
tion from a Mnglo progenitor whoss
habitat is unknown; the varieties of the
sorghum aro less marked and aro all
delluitoly within ono species.
Sorghum sugar making Is In this
country rather a matter of prophecy
than ut experience yot thcro seems to
be no good reason why tho work of tlin
Department of Agriculture of which
this industry is a net nursling should
not result in dcvoioping an important
i'lier.'st.
The sugar sorghum is planted from
seed lu April or May and at lirstgrnws
slowly cry like Its cousin tho broom-
corn sorghum. Tho botanists distin-
guish only ono species but the farmer
finds a good deal of dillVrunno between
the "Karly Amber oane" which Is tlio

and other kinds which ripen later than
the Karly Amber nnd arutheroforo less

plant gets its real start. It grows won-
derfully nnd with rcmnrknble Inde-
pendence of season and climate In wet
fimos or dry tlmos when Indian corn
would be drowned out or burned up
and from Minnesota to Texas where It
has been known to devolop a second
crop from the slubblo after tlio first
lias beon cut Pr illtablo growing for
sugar Is however confined to lower
latitudes than nt first supposed and
tho Isothermal lines of secnty degrees

thought by the best authorities to mark

profitably mado further north. This
includes Missouri Tiuinessco Ken-
tucky Illinois which lad In sirup pro-

Western farmers who grow mostly for
sirup report a yield oi from one hun-
dred and fifty gallons of sirup per acre
up costing about twenty-four dollars
per acre to raise In addition to use of

gallon this would give a profit of about
thirty dollar per acre; but the trouble

than to declare that Thcosophy holds

masses of mankind to bo 'pious frauds.'
On the contrary It recognizes the
truths inherent In thoso faiths and
only denies tho claim of any ono creed

poso of Thcosophy to look for tho good
