First—For market calve* are generally
veaJ"d before they are fully aware that
hy sin death cam* into the world. Here
however, on my place, we allow the calf
to nurse from six to seven weeks. The
last two weeks we add another cow so
that he will not be restlee* of nights.
Once I kept a calf sii years an an experi-
ment to see how much milk he would
require as he grew older. My report to
the fanners' convention of Erin rVairie,
from which I quote, shows that ut the
end of the sixth year he had closed up
the cheese factory at Hudson and had
diverted the output of the Stillwater
dairy entirely in his direction.
But he ww a hi;*, hearty fellow, with a
joyous, curly face and a voice that shook
our apples off the trees prematurely.
I never knew a calf that could neigh
so freely as he could. When he had
sipped a couple of washboilers of fresh
milk and cleared his voice, you should
have heard hiiu sound "A."
We had htm for tea at the close of the
sixth year, just rs he Ismail to get cuu-
uing. We hail a veal symposium with
green peas raised on tho place. Thc-y
grew in rows alum; hy the mortgage. 1
trit-d to raise them together, the jx iis and
the mortgage, allowing the jieas to clam-
ber up tho snlo of the mortgage, but
could not raise them both together.
We gave the symposium just as 1 was
leaving the farm to lnu k and work oti
a salary again. Tin- name of the vt*al
was Florence— Florence Nightingale. He
was nauied t>y a ]"wtic lady from Paris,
aged t>N years, and 1 hadn't the heart to
change his name, for she was of a sen-1
tive nature and a trifle over 3 tcet in
diameter. Living in Paris, she knew
very little of the world.
Wo missed Florence a goml deal ufter
his death, for ho loved us all. and to see

We are just learning how to keep
meats fresh in North Carolina. We killed
a large liossy calf three days ago, and
this morning we put n ]H>nnd of him at
the root of each gr.iix.vine in our little
\ineyurd
You ought to have seen those grai>e-

"Why mall the past? Why revive

Then the way they Srgan to go up
their trellis as far as they could!
It was an idea of my own "All the
meat that iloes not keep perfectly fresh
in onr ne r refrigerator," 1 exclaimed,
shall be put on tho crops."
Every one remarks. "How well every-
thing is looking on your place!"
Fanners used to come .juite a distance
to talk with me regarding my methods.
At first they often remained to dinner,
but tho roast and remove (which 1 had
happily combined) seemed too much for
them.
Souie of onr friends suggested that we
keep our fresh meats at tlie bottom of the
well, but wo might have guests come to
see us. and their time might Ve limited,
so we do not kt*p these things in the
well now.
Life in the country here in North Caro-
lina is full .4 excitement.

"Tho*e," said I, "you metropolitan

Becond—The farming" lands of North
nakota are the richest wheat lands on the
face of the earth. The Red river valley,
so often referred to as the Nile of th«
western continent, is overflowed each
year, millions of acres being covered
with water and debris, which enrich the
deep black soil to a remarkable degree
The author visited the state of North
Dakota in April of this present year and
can truly say that this rich valley of the
lied river overflows each spring unless
this seasou wus unusual this year.
This makes the wheat land very rich,
but has an opjiosite efftvt on railroads.
The hotels, too. suffered a great deal.
And so did the guests. There were two
or throe cities where the be-t hotels had

l»<T came ui> stair-* ami otsMie.1 n sam.
pie room, ihenthe electricity, and the
h. at. aud the elevator gave up the ghost,
and the billiard balls could lie heard
knocking against thefloorof tlie office as
the water rose. The weather was in-
tensely cold, and even the clerk had to
live by an oil stove and make change
with a pair of yarn mittens on. Guests
ate their meals in their ulsters and then
went out around town to loaf at the
stores where there were coal stoves.
But this does not interfere with agri-
culture. If tho river goes down early
•nough to sow and plant, the soil will do
its jiart Hailstorms sometimes destroy
crops m certain localities, but the legis-
lature votes i»K.re sis-d to these counties,
atid they try it again.
Cyclones sometimes cross Dakota,
spreading desolation everywhere and set-
ting at naught the works of man, but
the-soil remains rich and full of vigor.
Schoolboys even are aware that the
cause of all this is the fact that tho Red
River of the North runs into the arctic
regions, and the mouth of the stream
does not open till Decoration day. Thus
the great valley is flooded, and the allu-
vinm for centuries has made an almost
bottomless bottom, if 1 may lie allowed
to use this seeminganachnmisni.
It is a strange land, full of atmospheric
and |>oliiical surprises. The horticultural
exhibit at tho legislature this year was
remarkable.
Pomology does not do well, as a gen-
eral thing, owing to the cold of winter.
The Siberian crab apple, of which jelly
is made, grows here, and the Kamchat-
ka!! watermelon. Grain, however, is the
natural product of the country, and in
good seasons it might feed the world.
With cracked wheat from Dakota and
oranges from southern California and
Florida, steaks and chops from Texas
and tho west. French fried potatoes from
Ohio and the middle states, corn bread
and bacon from Illinois, Iowa and the
Carolinas, and coffee made from the split
1 eas of New Jersey, what a breakfast we
could give the world!
Guinea eggs fried on one side could be
obtained from my farm. The guinea
< gg is destined at no distant day to be-
come the universal remove for breakfast.
If better known, there would be a great
scramble for this egg (sic).
Tho guinea hen lies never pushed her
eggs as sho might have done, and other
fowls have thus crowded out her handi-
work., but I can truly say that it is one
of the most durable hard boiled eggs for
those intending to visit the ojien polar
sea and carry their victuals with them of
which I know. -
With tho guinea hen herself I have
nothing in common. Our paths are
widely divergent. She can go her way,
and 1 can go mine, but her egg if prop-
erly and promptly collected can be ma<le
into a light, spongy wedding cake for the
table of wealth, or boiled hard by a well
trained cook may surprise and delight
the maw of the peasiu.\
Tho yolk of a hard boiled guinea egg
powdered in a deep soup plate makes a
good relish when covered at once with
three or four inches of hot green turtle
soup. I am trying this on my farm-
bauds this year to make an agricultural
life as attractive for them as possible.
Yon ask me what I put on my aspara-
gus bed during the summer, but that is
hardly necessary if yon will pause to think
of tny justly celebrated refrigerator.
I have an ice box, too, that I made my-
self when I was at home during tho holi-
days. I did not do as well as I can do
now. Still it keeps the largest and
coarsest pieces of ice from coming out.
It also keeps cows and grownup cattle

Casa Grande, tho mansion of the
Iturbi y Moncadas in Santa Barbara,
stood at the right of the presidio, facing
the channel. A milo behind, under the
shadow of the gaunt rocky hills curving
about the valley, was tho long white
mission, with its double towers, corridor
of many arches, and sloping roof cov-
ered with red tiles. Between was the
wild valley where cattle grazed among
the trees and tho massive bowlders. The
red tiled white abode houses of the
presidio and of tho little town clustered
under its wing, the brown mud huts of
the Indians, were grouped in tho fore-
ground of the deep valley.
Tho groat house of the Iturbi y Mon-
cadas, erected in the first years of the
century, was built about three sides of a
court, measuring one hundred foot each
way. Like most of tho adobes of its
time it had but one story, and a wide
pillared corridor, protected by a sloping
roof, faced the court, which was as bare
and hard as the floor of a ballroom. Be-
hind tho dwelling were tho manufac-
tories and huts of the Indian retainers.
Don Guillermo Iturbi y Moncada was
tho magnate of tho south. His ranchos
covered four hundred thousand acres,
his horses and cattle were unnumbered.
His Indians, carpenters, coopers, sad-
dlers, shoemakers, weavers, manufac-
turers of household staples, supplied the
garrison ana town wiui tne necessaries
of life. He also did a large trading busi-
ness in hides and tallow.
Rumor had it that in the wooden
tower built against tho back of the house
lie kept gold by the bushel basketful.
uia toaay. i tie nose rose suddenly from
the middle of his face; it might have
been applied by a child sculpturing with
putty; the flat bridge was crossed by
erratic lines. A bang of grizzled hair
escaped from the,black silk handker-
chief wound as tightly as a turban about
his head. He wore short clothes of dark
brown cloth, the jacket decorated with
large silver buttons, a red damask vest,
shoes of embroidered deerskin and a cra-
vat of fine linen.
Chonita, in a white gown, a pale green
reboso about her shoulders, her arms
crossed, her head thoughtfully bent for-
ward, walked slowly up and down be
fore him.
"Holy God!" cried the old man, pound-
ing the floor with his stick. "That they
have dared to arrest my son—the son of
G-niilermo Iturbi y Moncada 1 That Al-
varado, my friend and thy host, should
have permitted it!"
"Do not blame Alvarado, my father.
Remember, he must listen to the de-
partmental junta, and this is their
work." 'Tool that I am!" she added to
herself, "why do I not tell who alone is
to blame? But I need no one to help me
hate him!"
"Is it true that this Estenega of whom
I hear so much is a member of the
junta?"
"It may be."
"If so, it is he, he alone, who has
brought dishonor upon my house. Again
tliey have conquered!"
"This Estenega I met—and who was
comjiauro with mo for the baby—is very
young, my father. If it bo ho who is a
member of tho junta, he could hardly
rule such men as Alvarado, Jimeno and
Castro. I saw no other Estenega."
"True! I must have other enemies in
the north; but I had not lniown of it.
But they shall learu of my power in the
south. Don Juan do la Borrasca went
today to Los Angeles with a bushel of
gold to bail my son, and both will bo
with us the day after tomorrow. A
curso upon Carillo— but 1 will speak of
it no more. Tell me. my daughter—God
of my soul, but I am glad to have thee
back!—what thoughtest thou of this son
of tho Estenegas? Is it Ramon, Este-
ban or Diego? 1 have seen none of them
\ since they were little ones.
' 'I remember Diego well. He had light-
ning in his little tongue and the devil in
his brain. 1 liked him, although ho was
tho son of my enemy, and if ho had been
, an Iturbi y Moncada I would have made
a great man of him. Aye. but he was
j quick. One day in Monterey he got
under my feet and I fell flat, much im-
periling my dignity, for it was on Al-
1 varado street, and 1 was a member of
the territorial deputation. I could have
| beaten him. 1 was so angry, but he
scrambled to his little feet, and helping
me to mine, he said, whilst dodging my
stick, 'Be not angry, senor. I gave my
promise to the earth that thou shouldst
]«.ss her. for all the world has prayed
; that she should not embrace theo for
i ninety years to come.' What could I
| do? I gave him a cake. Thou smilest,
my daughter; but thou wilt not com-
! mend tho enemy of thy house. No? Ah,
: well, wo grow less bitter as wo grow old.
aJid although I hated his father I liketl
Diego.
"Again I remember I was in Monterey,
and ho was there; his father and I were
both members of the deputation. Caram-
ba! what hot words passed between us!
But 1 was thinking of Diego. I took a
[ volume of Shakespeare from him one
day. Thou art too young to read such
books,' 1 said. A baby reading what
j tho good priests allow not men to
read! I have not read this heretic book
of plays, and yet thou dost lie there on
thy stomach and drink in its wicked-
ness. ' 'It is true,' he said, and how his
6teel eyes did flash, 'but when I am as
i old as you, senor. my stomach will be
flat and my head will be big. Thou art
the enemy • ' my father, but—hast thou
noticed?—thy stomach is bigger than his.
and ho has conquered thee in speech and
in politics more times than thou hast
found vengeance for. Aye—and thy
ranchos have richer soil and many more
cattle, but he has a library, Don Guil-
lermo, and thou hast not.' I spauked
; him then and there, but I never forgot
j what ho said, and thou hast read what
, thou listed. 1 would not that the chil-
dren of Alejandro Estenega should know
more than those of Guillermo Iturbi y
Moncada."
"Thou hast cause to be proud of Rei-
naldo, for ho sparkles like the spray of a
' fountain, and words to him are like a
shower of leaves in autumn. And yet—
and yet," sho added with angry candor,
"he has not a brain like Diego Esteuega.
Ho is not a man, but a devil."
"A good brain has always a devil at
the wheel; sharp eyes have sharper nerves
behind, and lightning from a big soul
flashes fear into a little one. Diego is
not a devil. 1 remember once 1 had a
headache and ho bathed my head, ami
the water ran down my neck and gave
me a cold which put mo to bed for a
week, but he is the devil's godson, and
were he not the son of my enemy I should
love him. His father was cruel and
vicious, but smart, holy Mary! Diego
has his brain, but he has, too, the kind
heart and gentle manner—aye, holy God!
But come, come; here are the horses.
Call Prudencia, and we will go to tho
bark and see what tho good captain has
brought to tempt us."
Four horses led by vaqueros had en-
tered the courtyard.
"Prudencia," called Chonita.
A door opened, and a girl of small fig-
ure, with solemn dark eyes and cream-
like skin, her hair hanging in heavy
braids to her feet, stepped into the cor-
ridor. draping a pink reboso about her
head.
"I am here, my cousin," she said, walk-
ing with all the dignity of the Spanish
woman, despite her plump and inconsid-
erable person. "Thou art rested, Dona
Eustaquia? Do we go to the ship, my
uncle, and shall we buy this afternoon?
God of my life! I wonder has he a high
comb to make me look tall, and flesh
colored stockings? My own are gone
with holes. I do not like white"
•nusc tny cnatter,' said her uncle.
"How can I tell what tho captain has
until I see? Come, my children."
We sprang to our saddles; Don Guil-
lermo mounted heavily, and we cantered
is«w &HT tiaSe's gen-
erosity would mfcsjMT own. "Look
how theae little diamond* flash! And
the embroidery on this crape!—a dozen
eyes went opt, aye! yi! This satin is likd
a tile! These fans ware made in Spain!
This is as big as a windmill. God of my
soul!"—she threw a handful of yellow
sewing silk upon a piece of white satin—
"Ana shall embroider this gown—thi
golden poppies of California on a bank
of mountain snow." She suddenly seized
a case of topaz and a piece of scarlet
silk and ran over to me—I being a Mon-
terena, etiquette forbade me to purchase
in Santa Barbara. "Thou must have
these, my Eustaquia. They will become
thee well. And wouldst thou like any
of my white things? Mary! but I am
selfish. Take what thou wilt, my friend. ^
To refuse would be to spoil her pleas-
ure and insult her hospitality, so I ac-
cepted the topaz—of which I had six sets
already—and the silk, whose color pre-
vailed in my wardrobe, and told her that
I detested white, which did not suit my
weather dark skin, and she was as blind
and pleased as a child.
"But come, come," she cried. "My
father is not so generous when ho has to
wait too long."
She gathered the mass of stnfiE in her
arms and staggered up the companion-
way. I followed, leaving Prudencia
raking tho trove her short arms would
not hold.
"Aye, my Chonita!" she wailed, "I can-
not carry that big piece of pink satin and
that vase. And I havo only two pairs
of slippers and one fan. Aye, Cho-n-i-i-ta,
look at those shawls! Mother of God,
suppose Valencia Mendendez comes"
"Do not weep on the silk and spoil
what thou hast," called down Chonita
from the top step. "Thou shalt havo all
thou canst wear for a year."
She reached the deck and stood pant-
ing and imperious beforo her father
"All! All! I must havo all!" she cried.
"Never have they been so fine, so rich."
"Holy Mary!"' shrieked Don Guillermo.
"Dost thou think I am made of doub-
loons, that thou wouldst buy a wholo
ship's cargo? Thou shalt have a quarter;
no more—not a yard!"
"I shall havo all!" And the stately
daughter of- the Iturbi y Moncadas
stamped her little foot upon tho deck.
"A third—not a yard more. And dia-
monds! Holy heaven! There is not gold
enough in tho Californias to feed the ex-
travagance of the Senorita Dona Chonita
Iturbi y Moncada."
She managed to bend her body in spito
of her burden, her eyes flashing saucily
above the mass of tulle which covered
the rest of her face.
"And not fine raiment enough in tha
world to accord with tho state of tho
only daughter of tho Senor Don Guil-
lermo Iturbi y Moncada, the delight and
tho pride of his old age. Wilt thou send
these things to tho north to be worn by
an Estenega? Thy Chonita will cry her
eves so red that, she will bo lunmn oc tim
ugly witch of Santa Barbara, and Casa
Grande will be like a tomb."
"Oh, thou spoilt baby! Thou wilt
have thy way"— At this moment
Prudencia appeared. Nothing whatever
could be seen of her small person but
her feet; she looked like an exploded
balo of goods. "What! what!" gasjied
Don Guillermo. "Thou little rat! Thou
wouldst make a Christmas doll of thy-
self with satin that is too heavy for thy
grandmother, ami eke out thy dumpy
inches with a train? Oh, mother of
God!" Ho turned to the captain, who
was smoking complacently, assured of
the issue. "I will let them carry these
things home; but tomorrow one-lialf, nt
least, comes back." And he stamped
wrathful] v down tho deck.
"Send the rest," said Chonita to the
captain, "a- d t'aou shalt have a bag of
gold tonight."

the poor ran in a body to the courtyard

which sat motionless on the placid chan-
nel. The captain greeted us with the
lively welcome due to eager and frequent
purchasers.
"Now curb thy greed," cried Don

of my soul! If a bark came every day
they would want every shred on board.
My daughter could tapestry the old house
with the shawls she has."
When I reached the cabin 1 found the
table covered with silks, satins, crape
shawls, combe, article* of lacquerware,
ieweis, silk stockings, slippers, spangled
tulle, handkerchiefs, lace, fans. The
girls' eyes were sparkling. Chonita
clapped her hands and ran around the
table, pressing to bar lips the baaatifnl
white things she quickly segregated,
running her hand eagerly over the little
■Uppers, hanging the laoe about her
twisting a rope' of
"1 wonder if I can?" she said to mc.
Tho next morning Chonita, clad in a
long gown of white wool, a silver cross
at her throat, her hair arranged like a
coronet, sat in a large chair in the dis-
pensary. Her father stood beside a
table parceling drugs. The sick poor of
Santa Barbara passed them in a long
line.
The Doomswoman exercised her power
to heal, tho birthright of the twin.
"I wonder if I can," she said to me,
laying her white fingers on a knotted
arm, "or if it is my father's medicines. I
have no right to question this beautiful
faith of mv country, but I really don't
see how I do it. Still, I suppose it is like
many things in our religion, not for mere
human beings to understand. This
pleases my vanity at least. I wonder if
I shall have cause to exercise my other
endowment."
"To curse?"
"Yes; I think I might do that with
something more of sincerity."
Tho men, women and children, native
Californians and Indians, scrubbed for
the occasion, filed slowly past her, and
she touched all kindly and bade them bo
well. They regarded her with adoring
eyes and bent almost to the ground.
"Perhaps they will help me out of
purgatory," she said, "and it is some-
thing to be on a pedestal; I should not
liko to come down. It is a cheap vic-
tory, but so are most of the victories
that the world knows of."
When she had touched nearly a hun-
dred they gathered about her, and she
spoke a few words to them.
"My friends, go and say, 'I shall be
well.' Does not the Bible say that faith
shall make ye whole? Cling to your
faith! Believe! Believe! Else will you
feel as if the world crumbled beneath
your feet! And there is nothing, noth-
ing to take its place. What folly, what
presumption, to suggest that anything
can—a mortal passion"— She stopped
suddenly, and continued coldly, "Go,
my friends; \v
me today. Go, and Cod grant that you
may be well and haj
