the castle to the house party. M,
| lord and my lady both had grievances
which each was eager to present fol
the calm and dispassionate Judgment
of the other.
First in Lady Ellen's mind was
Lady Cecily Darlington, a cousin sew
eral times removed of my lords. The
relationship was not near enough tc
render my lord immune nor was it re
mote enough to warrant indifference
Indeed Darlington had had a rather
difficult part to play. Ellen had dis
covered that an ancient love affair
had subsisted between her husband
and Cecily and she imagined - not
without cause - that Cecily, a repre.
sentative product of the vicious soci-
ETY. of her time was endeavoring to
fan the embers into a flame. Nor
could she detect in Lord Carrington's
method of handling the situation any
very pronounced desire to quench the
fire, and his conduct toward his fair
and, if reputation did not too greatly
belle her, frail cousin, was not distin-
guished by seli-restraint. In Ellen s
eyes Darlington manifested a very
catholic taste in the eternal feminine,
for he gave much unnecessary atten-
ton to Hon. Mrs. Monbrant, a wild
ow putatively at least, for no
one knew where Hon. Mr.. Mon
that he was dead, but that testimony
was not of great value. At any
rate if he lived, he was wise in his
generation and he kept under cover
In the house party there was an
other eternal-in more senses than
one!-feminine in the person of the
ancient and imperious duchess of Dull
ward. Her great age precluded the
possibility of jealousy of Darlington
in Ellen's mind, but the chatelaine of
the castle did not like the ponderous
and vicious dOwager any more than
the younger pair who were making
the running apparently for the affec-
tions of her husband
There was only one woman in the
castle whom Ellen really did like. and
that was Mistress Debbie Slocum of
Massachusetts, In making up the
house party Ellen by freak of cir
cumstances had desired to include
some one from her own land. AS for
tune would have it, a ship opportune-
ly arrived in Portsmouth bearing Mis-.
tress Deborah Winthrop Slocum as
passenger, consigned TO her kinswom-
an and friend, the chatelaine of Car
rington. Deborah was the exact an
tithesis of Ellen, quiet, stad. prim
little Puritan, with all the character
istics of the Massachusetts branch of
the family, utterly out of place in

Cultivate the Onions,

The most important essential in
onion growing is thorough cultivation
at the right time, which means that
we must keep down the weeds and
grass and keep the soil loose around
the plants while they are young. This
requires careful work for the first few
times, but if well done one will feel
we'll repaid when the harvest comes
The patch should be gone over as soon
as the ground is dry enough after each

KEEP ORCHARD FREE OF TRASH.
The Only Safe Way to Keep Trees
from Injury by Rodents and Insects.

In regard to the protection of fruit
trees from rodents, my experience
has been that most people neglect to
do anything for the protection of their
trees until it is too late and then get
discouraged and do not try to raise
their own fruit, being more interested
in the production of a good hog or
calf than in the comforts of their fam
lily (until the agent comes along again
and sells them some more trees)
Well, | have known of one instance
where certain neighbor sowed his
orchard to wheat. Just before the
wheat was ready to cut the rabbits
barked almost every tree. This was
in June, mind you. They must have
had queer constitutions to have need
ed thesbark at that time of the year.
These trees, think had been set out
two or three years
My experience is that the rabbits
prefer the very small trees, al
though they will sometimes gnaw
quite large ones. But there is no
limit to the size of tree that a mouse
will try his teeth on. While examin-
ing trees for borers have found
trees from 25 to 80 years old that had
been gnawed by mice. | would con-
slider the surest remedy against them
TO be to keep your orchard so clean
of trash, grass, weeds, etc, as to leave
no hiding place for them.
l should say that most rodents pre-
fer the apple, pear and ounce to
most other kinds of trees; but | find
that rabbits will invite their friends to
a picnic whenever they happen to find
rose bushes unprotected. use chicken
wire netting to protect my trees in
the nursery. Three feet high is suf.
fcient provided you stake it down

man, Is also school teacher, and not
being at home very much when the
time came for protecting his nursery
by putting up his fence, he entrusted
the job to his hired man. He put uI
the fence; he put it high enough, but
failed by about six inches of getting il
low enough. The consequences were
that one bunny fixed hundred or sc
of his trees before he found him.
| prefer veneer wrappers to any,
hting else for protection, because they
can be left on the trees two or three
years without the least injury being
done to the trees. They are a great
protection against borers also. l once
examined a 30-acre orchard that they
had been on for two years and only
found one tree with borers in it in the
entire orchard We have tried the
veneer. OF course, we do not recon-
mend any paint that has grease or oil
In it. l know of parties living near me
here that bought trees Of agents of
certain nurseries and then the agent
would sell them enough paint to kill
them, and there you are.
Finally, dear friends, concludes the
writer in Farmers Review, if you
have neglected to protect your or
chard otherwise and Brer Rabbit is
cutting up capers try this: One part
sulphate of strychnine, one-third part
borax, one part sugar syrup, ten parts
water, mix and paint small twigs with
this and scatter in their paths, and
that will be the last of Brer Rabbit.
