CHAPTER III.
SERVICE is ROYAL,


The Ward pew in the Marble Square
.hurch was about half way down the
aisle and in the body Of the house. As
Barbara walked down the aisle she was
conscious OF feeling of eNcitewent
hardly warranted by the event. As
she passed into the pew first, leading
Carl after her, as the arrangement OF
seating had been planned by Mrs.
Ward. she noticed Mrs Wards face.
1t was very grave, and there was again
present in il that uncertain element
which had set Barbara 10 guessing
once or twice how far her mistress
would venture 10 cooperate with her
in the matter of solving the questions
belonging 10 housekeeping.
But Barbara was a young woman
with a good reserve of common sense,

meet Miss Barnes, who is helping Us
az present
She introduced the young woman
who was standing behind her, and
Barbara somewhat shyly shook hands
with a heayy-faced girl, who. how
ever. smiled n little. Barbara was
astunished at Mrs Nane, and instant
" concluded that she was "A character
i'm the Marble Square church and in
Crawford, as indeed she was.
"Mv father and Mr.. Nane were in
college together" Barbara said, as
they moved down the aisle.
Are YOU sure?" The sharp eyes
seemed TO look barbara through.
Eyes, ma'am. have heard father
speak often of Thomas Nane. Before
he mentioned the fact Of your living
in Crawford"
"Mr. Vane would he glad to see
your father again. Ask him 10 call"
Father died last winter" Bar
bara answered i'm a low voice. The
tragedy of that business failure and
sudden shock which resulted in her
fathers death was too recent to be
spoken of without deep feeling.
Dear met II is strange Thomas
never told me. Perhaps he did not
hear Of il. Is your mother living?"
Yes Barbara told her the street.
"She must come and see me after |
have called She is alone, you say?'
And again the sharp eyes pierced Bar
bara.
They had reached the door and
Mrs Vane tapped Mrs. Ward on the
shoulder.
Mrs. Ward. you see that Miss
Clark comes 20 see me. | want long
talk with her. Don't be afraid, my
dear. | don't want 10 know any more
.han YOU are willing 10 tell me. But
I'm interested in you. and perhaps l
can do something 10 help"
She hurried out, leaving Barbara in
some uncertainty as 10 what kind of
help she meant. Would this woman
Of wealth and social position help
her in her plans for solving the serv-
ant-girl problem?
The Wards were still standing near
the door. and Carl was pulling Bar
bara's dress and crying TO her "a
hurry home for dinner. when the
young minister came up and shook
hands heartily with Mrs. Ward. Al

Horses Have Long Memories

That horses remember their rae
Ing days is evidenced by the per-
formance of Rachel B., 2,2sH, by AL
lie West, at the Meadowlands farm
one day last fall. After she had
weaned her first colt by Wood Boy,
1t was decided to turn her out In
the infleld of the farm track. It
was expected that the old mare
would cross the track to the tract
OF clover in the infeld, but instead
she went to the sand, took the QUE
sids Of the track and logged around
1t three times, and then, turning
above the wire, took the pole and
went around. She kept going until
stopped by the men. The next day
when turned out she went through
the same performance, and she made
1T necessary for the farm to find a
new paddock for her. Rachel B. is
ed years old, and has not been raced
Ia II years.

NEST BOX FOR SITTING HENS.

and allow the broody hens to sit on
having proved reliable, the china eggs
were removed and replaced by the val
liable ones. In the morning the doors
of the nest boxes, which had been
closed from the previous Gay, were
opened and the sitters allowed oppor.
tunity to get out for food, water and
8 short run. In early spring, when
the weather is likely to be cold, tn
sitter should return to her nest inside
of ten minutes. The foregoing details
are al important in the successful
Matching of chickens by hens.
Late April and May hen-hatched
chickens did the better at the Cana
dian farms. In the case of hen-hatched
chickens the latter were permitted tc
remain in their nest for "a to Sc hours
when, with the mother hen. they were
placed in Slated coop on the grass
outside. The coop was so arranged that
it could be securely closed at night.
while ventilation was secured.
Through the Stats the chicks could
run on the grass outside, while the
hen remained inside. On the floor of
the coop was sand to the depth of two
inches On taking the mother hen
from her nest she was given food and
water. She would be more likely to.
brood the chicks contentedly after be-
ing fed than if hungry or thirsty. How
important it is to have early chicks
carefully brooded is well known to all
experienced breeders. The rations
adopted werestale bread crumbs, fol-
lowed by stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed dry; this for a day or
two. Crushed corn was not given I'M
til after eight days, and whole wheat
was not fed until the twelfth or four
teenth day. AS the chicks grew,
mash composed of shorts, corn meal,
stale bread and a small quantity of
prepared meal was mixed with boiling
skim milk, allowed to cool, and was
given three or four times per day. Milk
and water were both furnished for
drink.

until the hens have had run outside,
and as result their eggs will hatch
better.
In connection with the second meth
cd unless the farmer has brooding
house, which permits of his being in
dependent of outside temperature, he
will have to content himself with in
cYbator and outside brooder. His out
side brooder is placed on the rapidly
growing grass, and with proper care
and food the young chicks will be found
to make famous progress.
AT the experimental farms when the
hens became broody they we're set in
wooden boxes placed IN vacant pens in
house. The wooden nest boxes con-
tanned no bottoms and had a hinged
door in front. The nests were made
of dry lawn clippings, which were
found to answer the purpose much bet
ter than cut straw. Grain, grit and
drink water were constantly before
the sitters. On being made, the nests
we're thoroughly busted with a disin-
fecting powder, and so were the sitters
before being put on the nests. 1t was
found beneficial to place two or three
nhina eggs in the nests as arranged

We name farm animals as a matter
OF convenience. So should we name
farms. The farm with a name has
q handle. The owners of farms
change. Some die, more sell out and
move away. 1t is hard to identify
farms by the names of their owners
or tenants. What was the Jones
Farm ten years ago may be the Smith
farm to-day, and will be the Brown
farm ten years hence. Very often
indeed lawyers and others would be
assisted In their work, misunder-
standings and mistakes would be
avoided, vexation would be escaped.
1t farms could be identified by per-
manent names-names that belonged
to them and not to their owners. If
farms were named, it would be easy
to give preciseness to legal docu-
ments, advertisements, directions
about routes, etc., that is impossible

IMPROVEMENT
HIGHWAYS IN FRANCE.
Fhe1r maintenance Is Reduced to @
System Which Is Worthy of
Praise and Emulation,

Nations which possess vast terri
tories and which are in the habit Of
undertaking vast enterprises are apt
to overlook details. And yet, when
we stop to think, the perfection of
anything and everything lies in the
scrupulous attention that is to be
given to details. Instruments of pre-
cision only differ with ordinary in
struments in care given to details, to
small PROJECTIONS. An invention
which is success Is the one in con-
irving which the inventor has given
the most time to smallest particu-
lars. The French have applied that
principle to the administration of
the maintenance Of roads The great
est attention has been paid to the
smallest thing that contributes to
the simple mending of rut. The
cantonnier who does the work is one
of an administration that includes
and employs the most skillful scien-
lists and engineers in the world. The
simple stone that he lays to help
mend the rut has perhaps occupied
100 minds before it is put in its place.
useless trouble" you may say. Not
at all.
The object In the maintenance of
roads Is to have them all kept in
such state that carriages will roll
upon them In the best conditions. It
Is, then, Of the greatest Importance
to obviate all obstacles, all sources
OF resistance to the circulation, and
to prevent or stop from the begin
ming all defects to which roads are
liable.
This can only be done by constant
overseeing and with perfect or
ganization Of resources at hand, con-
sisting OF materials and manual la
Dor.
