An AdamIess Eden In England.


The English peeress who has given
her name to the Lady Warwick hostel
believes that a certain, though moder.
ate, means of livelihood can be OBJ
tanned by women In dairying, the
growing and marketing OF flowers and
fruit, the cultivation Of tomatoes and
mushrooms and the keeping Of bees
and poultry.
This Is the first section Of her agri-
cultural scheme; the second and ul-
terror object Is the formation Of set
Elements of women in different parts
of the country to carry out in practice
what they have learned at the hostel
and thus infuse new vitality and inter-
est In rural districts.
Adamless Edens these settlements
will probably be characterized, but as
a surplus million of women will ap-
pear in the next English ISL some
Ewes must be Adamless, and surely
they will be happier in communities
than alone.
Lady Warwick's Nuns" is q title al
ready bestowed upon the prospective
agriculturists.
The leading characteristic Of the La
dy Warwick hostel is that it gives
practical training. At the dairy insti-
tute, Reading, students will learn all
about the treatment Of milk and
cream, the making, packing, preserv-
ing and marketing Of butter, the max
ing Of lard and soft cheeses and the
treatment of byproducts Of the dairy.
The same plan precisely Is followed In
poultry raising.
Horticultural students will each have
a practice plot" in the garden, also a
piece of wall and a portion of green
house, and they will cultivate, on a
small scale, vegetables, salads, cucum-
bers, tomatoes and mushrooms. Bush
fruits and orchard trees will also come
in for a share of attention. Neighbor-
ing fruit farms, market gardens and
seed grounds will often be visited, as
well as the museums at Oxford and
London, the latter for the purpose Of
acquiring knowledge in horticultural
entomology or the Identification Of in
furious and other insects.
Bees are kept In the hostel gardens
for practical object lessons in the
study Of agriculture, with demonstra-
tons by experts and visits to their e.
adjustments.
The students will also learn all about
the chemical character Of soils, the
properties Of good and bad drinking
water, the composition Of sandy and
clayey rocks, drainage, weather and its
relation to crops. Bookkeeping, too, Is
taught, with due attention to the
preparation of the profit and loss ac-
count and the balance sheet.
The hostel Is a charmingly commo-
dious and spacious dwelling, with q
large refectory, library, drawing and
common rooms, dormitories divided
Into cubicles, and bathrooms. Students
can have separate bedrooms by the
payment Of an additional fee. A well
built iron room, about 40 by 20 feet, In
the garden Is fitted up as a gymna'
sum-, ana there are a grass tennis iaWn
and a field Of one acre, with an asphalt
| tennis court.
The fees, inclusive of board, tuition
and residence, are $3.50 a year. Four
hundred dollars to 5000 a year is paid
BY those who take special courses and
occupy separate bedrooms. There are
three terms In the year Of ten weeks
each.
