THE SECRET OF YOUTH

De Soto looked for the secret Of
youth in a spring Of gushing, life-giv-
ing waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. Alchem-

but It is only found by those happy
people who can digest and assimilate
the right food which keeps the phys
ical body perfect that peace and COM
fort are the sure results.

This Woman Had Nerve.

Hurrying across Broadway at Cham
hers street at noon recently, young
woman tripped and fell directly In
front Of team of big draft horses
There was chorus of screams and
yells from the crowd on both sides Of
the crossing, but quick as wink the
young woman rolled herself from be-
meath the bobbing heads Of the moving
horses and regained her feet with the
cpl ing of trained athlete. She darted
to tho walk and then-she cried Other

Not now a recreant servant Of his
Master, he returned to the church, and
went down its narrow nave. Why
should he not pause and even stand
where she had stood? She had left
her prayer book, and that also was
noble of her. All the other books had
been taken away to that garish little
gem of new church. Only hers re-
manned.
He kissed the book and replaced 1t
reverently. In week 1t would no
doubt be with her in that other church.
So much the better for that other
church, and none the worse for him
or for her. And here he locked the
door sadly, yet with firm hand, and
removed the key. Tomorrow Mr.. Mel
ton Hassell might triumph over the
key if he pleased; it should be his to
do with as he pleased.
But on the west side of the church,
whittier he turned to reach the par
sonage in which Delmain had lived
for more than two centuries, he saw
her.
She was standing by the large, white
marble cross which marked where her
mother lay. Mr. Melton Hassell had
lost his wife in the first year of his
greatness as master of Drelling. 1t
was before the discord between him
and the vicar of Drelling, and, well,
of course, she lay in the old church
yard.
She looked up, and at once moved
toward him, and there was that in her
face which constrained him to wait
for her. The impulse to steal away in
the other direction was instantaneous
on seeing her; but so, also, was her
movement toward him.
He waited for her and smiled.
Yes, he would give her the key, II
she would take it.
But she spoke first. Offering him her
hand.
Il want to say something" she said
rapidly; ''and l want you to believe
every word Of it. I-you may think
what you will of me, but it has got to
be said. Once you asked me If l could
love you, and II was hasty, and said
l could not. l meant would not. But

Hens on Small Farms.

The hen can be made a factor for
prom. on small farms, and indeed on
the small farm the hen is likely to re-
ceive the attention she should. On
the very large farm the poultry busi-
ness is dwarfed in comparison to the
larger scale of operations, and we
have not learned yet to manage sue
cessfully fowls when kept by the thou
sands. The small farm, too, has ad-
vantages of market facilities that the
large has not, on account of the little
farm more often being found in the
vicinity of cities or villages where the
land is high in price.

Ventilation.

Every building that is used in con-
nection with milk production should be
well ventilated. The stable in which
the cows are kept and are MIXED
should be well ventilated to keep the
cows healthy and should be well ven
tilated to keep bad smells from getting
into the milk. The rooms in the house
devoted to the care Of milk should be
perfectly ventilated, and this should
be true Of every creamery in which
milk or cream is handled. There is
now general complaint that the ven
tilation Of creameries is so bad that
are always damp. This is one of the
inevitable results of bad ventilation.

Who has not seen a horse staggering
with too greata load, whipped by a mer-
ciless driver! Very often this is the
result Of the owner of the horse plac-

Whatever kind of fruit we grow II Is
best to plant it so that II possible 1t
may get cross fertilization. We do not
know how many different kinds of fruit
need to be fertilized by the pollen from
another species, but we have learned
enough about it to know that as a gen.
eral thing the fruit is surer If cross
pollenated. l could tell of pear Or
chards that bore little or nothing for
years till they were grated with other
varieties to give them the pollen.
There is the Keiffer that has so often
proved fruitless till 1t was grated with
CARRIER. The same is true to a consid-
erable extent with apples, and it is
notorious that plums will sometimes
not bear at all unless cross fertilized
Now when 1 plant n pear, apple or
pun orchard l put more than one va
riety in the same neighborhood. The
planting of many trees of one variety
in block operates against the pollen
ating Of the blossoms, and this is
shown by the blossoms falling without
-ruit setting, or. if the fruit sets it
falls off before it is very old. This is
one cause, l believe, of the great fall
ing of apples we have every year. 1t
simply means that some of the bios
sons were not pollenated and would
have no seeds in them il they grew.
In most cases the seedless apple does
not mature, though there may be n va
riety that will mature its fruit without
seed.-Bradford Haight, Belmont Coun-

HER SECOND THOUGHTS.


The young vicar of Drelling came
out of the vestry, and, very straight
and very white-face and gown-knelt
for few moments, and then rose to
begin the morning service.
1t was a tiny, unobtrusive old
church; a mere dot on the territory
of the great house whose pinnacles and
windows and turrets and fretted bat
tlements-the work of many genera
tions of architects-commanded it at a
distance of about three furlongs like
a TERED battery of money bags.
For the first time since the trouble
he had not rung the bell. There was
no one else to ring it, and he-it had
come to this-didnt think it worth
while.
He was no coward, but he was tired
of 1t. Life seemed too complete mock
cry this morning, this fair July morn
ing, as he walked up the avenue to-
ward the great house from the lodge
which still had his family's escutcheon
in stone over the door. He had met
no one except the lodgekeeper chill
dren ait a window Of the lodge, and
they had been pulled down by invisible
hands as soon almost as he had noticed
their staring eyes and parted lips.
The stone label to that escutcheon
bore the words STAND firm" There
were five broken-nosed Delmain monu
ments in the church, and to each of
them was that same escutcheon, with
that same motto.
But he wasn't sure that he could do
It. Even while he faced his congrega-
ton he heard the sweet chimes of the
new church which the new owner had
had built with the forceful haste of
Pharaoh, on purpose to compel him to
