Poultry and Bee Notes.

Nitrogen may be the costliest or the
cheapest element of fertility, as you
like it.-C. T.. T.

an addition to the looks of the farm

Scratchivity is a virtue to be en-
couraged in the hen because upon II

what most of us want.

orIeIn O, Term "croeer.w

According to etymology, a "retafi
grocer" is as absolute an impossibility
as a weekly journal" A grocer, or
"grosser" as 1t used to be spelled, Is
really a trader "in ,gross"-that is to
say. In large quantities, Wholesale.
Englishmen of other days spoke Of
"grossers of FISH" and "grossers Of
wine" and an act of Edward III. ex.
pressly mentions that "grossers" dealt
in all manner OF goods. In those days
"spicer" was the word for grocer" in
the modern sense. But It happened
that the Grocers' company, founded in
the fourteenth century. specialized In
spicery and so grocer" gradually took
the place of "spicer."

Our Domestic Turkey.

While there are differences of opin-
ion regarding the origin of our domes-
tic turkey. 1t is currently believed that
1t came directly from the wild turkey
of the United States and Canada. One
writer expresses the opinion that the
original variety imported into Eng
land in 1920 came from variety that
formerly existed in the West Indies
and was afterwards exterminated by
the natives. This is guesswork There
is apparently no good reason for go
ing out of the way to hunt for any
other origin than that currently ac-
cepted. What is known as the domes-
tic turkey crosses freely with The wild
variety. thus establishing a close rela-
uonship as having existed in the past

LANepoN AT HOME.

I entered, with an amused glance at
he butler, who was giving over his
heavy countenance to delightful ex
hibition of disgust and discontinue.
1t was Langdon's sitting room. He
had had the carved antique oak in
terror Of room in an old French pal
ace torn out and transported to New
York and set up for him. had made
a study of that sort of thing, and at
Dawn Hill had done something toward
realizing my own ideas of the splen-
did. But a glance showed me that l
was far surpassed. What had done
seemed in comparison like the compo-
sition of a school boy beside an essay
by Goldsmith or Hazlitt.
And in the midst of this quiet splen-
dor sat, or rather lounged, Langdon,
reading the newspapers. He was
dressed in a dark blue velvet house
suit with facings and cords of blue
silk shade or so lighter than the
suit. | had always thought him hand
some; he looked now like a god. He
was smoking cigarette in an orien-
tai holder nearly foot long; but the
air of the room, SO perfect was the
ventilation, instead of being scented
with tobacco had the odor of some
fresh, clean, slightly saline perfume.

subtly fiattered him, for, when |
looked at him, he was giving me a
look of genuine friendly kindness.
This is-perfect Langdon," said l.

Glad you like it," said he, trying to
dissemble his satisfaction in so strong
ly impressing me.
"You must take me through your
house sometime" / went on. I'm go
ing to build soon. No-don't be afraid
I'll initiate. I'm too vain for that. But
want suggestions. I'm not ashamed
to go to school to a master-to any
body, for that matter"
'Why do you build?" said he. "A
town house is a nuisance. II could
induce my wife to take the children to
the country to live, I'd dispose of
this"
That's 1.-THE wife," said l.
But you have no wife. At
least"
NO" replied with laugh. Not
yet. But I'm going to have"
Suddenly my mind reverted to my
business How do you account for
the steadiness of textile, Langdon?" I
asked, returning to the carved sitting
room and trying to put those sur
roundings out of my mind.
IL don't account for it," was his
languid, uninterested reply.

ket?"

I pretended to object, my vanity fairly
purring with pleasure.

a form and not for information: for
