LADY NARROW will be as glad as
any of u.s." said Jordan, with a broth
erly smile. ?
Sylvia entered at this point. She
swept a glance of her lovely eyes
round the group, let 1t rest for a mo-
ment on Neville, then. with "A bow and
a smile t4as Ec!yassa,t4 them ALL went to

No" said Jordan; 81 have not yet

Of her from Audrey and the signorlna,
and hope that | am soon to see her
restored to health. She must be q
good woman to have secured the in
estimaDlc treasure of the signorina's
friendship and he bowed to Sylvia.
The lunch proceeded. 1t was a
strange meal. and all of them had the
air of persons sitting over n volcano
and pretending that they did not know
it.
II was saying last night that we
ought to have a fete," remarked Jor-
dan. 1--WE can't let so joyful an Oc-
casion as Neville's return pass as If
it were Of no account. What do you
say to Il big garden party, with tents
on the lawn and n luncheon and dane
ing for the %tenantry, and, in fact,
everybody? 2" and he smiled round upon
them all.
THE very thing said the viscount.
That's a capital idea, Jordan; ell, Au'

yes" faltered Audrey.
"Then it shall be done.' said Jor-
dan, nodding brightly. Neville is SO
modest that h would like to avoid the
fatted calf, but he must not be al
lowed to do so. Let me see; shall we
say this day week. ',..
He stopped suddenly, and the rest,
looking to see what had accustomed tire
break in the smooth voice, saw him
staring at The French window oppCs-
site which he sat, his face suddenly
grown white to the lips, his eyes fiSed
with what looked like terror.
"Eh? What's the matter?" demand
ed the viscount.
Excuse me-" said Jordan hurried |
", and he took two OF three steps to-
the window.
But before he could reach it 1t was
burst open, and u man appeared on
the threshold. Sylvia uttered a cry of
terror, and turned to the viscount as
lie for protection |
"I4avarick!- broke from NGvilie's
lips,, and he sprang to- his feet.

Water and Solids in, Milk.

~ When the cream or fat is removed
every 100 pounds of skim milk contain
about 90 per cent of water and 10 per,
cent of solids. The solids contain
about 3.5 percent; Of casein and 45 per
cent OF milk sugar. with small proper
tons of fat. and albumen as the fat
cannot be entirely removed. The milk
sugar remains 1.-THE whey when it sep
arates and the caseln In, the curds or
cheesy matter, though both contain
small percentages of fat, albumen, etc:
The whey will promote the formation
Of fat, while the curds supply the ele-
ments for growth and muscle. Tt will
be an advantage to feed the two sub
stances together, adding bran and sea-
son lightly with salt. IF the skim milk
becomes very sour and begins to fer
ment it should not be used at ali. The
proper plan Is to use the skim, Eailk
when fresh or but Slightly sour.

Working Poultry and ~ravvberri
When one speaks of poultry in n
nection with any low-growing plant
most people can see only the scratch
ing birds and the ruined plants, but the
combination has been and is being
protitably carried out. If one selects
one Of the larger breeds of hens TOT
this combination the scratching part
of the proposition will be u TO Il
minimum, and if h fowls are not re-
quired to obtain their entire living
from the patch of strawberry plants,
they will do comparatively little dam
age. 1t Is, Of course, understood that
the fowls are not allowed on the patch
until after the fruit has been gath
cred, but from that time until they go
into winter quarters they will be ex-
ceedingly useful, for they Will take
good care of all the insects, do little
damage in the way Of scratching which
can be readily repaired by going over
the plot each day, and their ~droppinss
will add materially to the richness OF
the plot. If the plantation covers 81
considerable area it will be a good plan
to have several small colony houses on
he plot SO that the hens may nave
their own quarters and tlus work over
~ smaller area. The profit from this
combination is good, and neither will
interfere with the other, especially If
the fowls are saised for egg produc-
ton. Try it on a small scale and in
as experience proves 1t pays.

If those who have shrubbery on their
grounds would but remember the SIM
pie facttof' the period OF. bloom n THAT
blossoms come on the new growth they
would remember when to prune: The
blossoms or the spring-DiooInlng shrubs,
are formed on the wood that was
grown after the blooming. season OF a
year ago. hence if these shrubs are
pruned in the spring we simply cut off
the f~ower-bearing shoots and nc" flow
ers are had. The time to prune' spring
Towering shrubs Is Just after they have
stopped blooming, SO they may have
the rest of the summer in which to
grow the flower shoots for another
spring. The. fall-blooming shrubs.
should be ,pruned in the spring; for
they, will then grow the flower shoots
for the coming fall period of bloom
One can see how simple it is IL they.

Grasx Of the Lawn.

! Where Ia is desired to thicken grass,
or increase the variety in lawns or
dooryards, much may be done by sim
ply sowing seed The sprousing will
be favored by the shade of the grass.
and the growth of the youn. plants by
a frequent clipping. SO that by late
summer or before a good sod will be
established. The principle IS that cut
ting prevents shading the young grass
and supplies it with sun and air. thus
giving 1t an equal chance with the old
grass, if the ground is rich enough, as
it generally Is in lawns and dooryards.
