September is a good month to look
about for stock, and if one has not al
ready settled upon a particular varie-
ty, hint in that direction may be Of
some use. Unless a woman can afford
to keep plenty of help she should not
keep over fifty fowls. l feel that / am
writing for the woman who takes care
of her chickens herself, and to her
would SAY that If she shas the room it
is a good plan to keep a small flock OF
two varieties-one for broilers or
fricassees and one for laying eggs, and
when it comes to the genuine bust
ness, then give me the Black Minor
cas-. The eggs are large and pure
white. The hens are almost perpetual
layers and do not make good moth
ers. The eggs will command the high
est fancy prices, and if your stock is
pure you can sell the eggs for sittings
at prices according to the stock you
keep.
The Plymouth Rocks or the Wyan-
dottes are suitable breeds for broil-
ers or for home use. l think there is
more money in the selling of eggs to
private customers, or even in the mar
kets, than in broilers. There is less
work and less worry. The latter fowl
is a good layer II she does not get too
fat, but when this occurs make a pot
| pie of her.

Rosnlie Spohr - Figure In BerIfnN
Musical and Social Life.

One OF the most interesting charac-
tsrs In the musical life OF Berlin Is
Rosalie Spohr. the harpist. who is
Spohr, an exchange says. She made
her first appearance In public on Dec.
10, 1919, at a concert given by Jennie
Lind. She attracted attention first be-
cause OF her distinguished musical de-
scent, but after the world had once
heard her her art made her famous.
There are few women before the pub
lie to-day who play the harp as vir-
tuosi. although one sees them occasion
ally in the opera orchestras. So 1t is
difficult nowadays to realize that Ro-
salia Spohr toured Europe in triumph
She found In Franz List devoted
friend and enthusiastic admirer and
he was proud to play with her at We'll
mar as well as give her the benefit Of
his artistic advice. Her career as
public performer ended after about
six years Then she became the wife
of Count Saurma and the stage knew
her no more. She still lives in Berlin.
more than 80 years old. but enthusiast
tic in her devotion to the instrument
with which she won the triumphs OF
her brief professional career. For three
hours every day she practices the harp
and her technique has for that reason
remained very complete for one OF her
age. Her talent was in a measure her
editary. since her aunt was a we'll
known harpist In her day. 1t was
through her playing that Rosalie
Spohr, who had begun her musical life
as a pianist, turned her attention to
the harp.
A widow for more than twenty years.
1t has been her devotion to her art that
made life interesting to her during all
this time Her education was sound
in the first place. for she studied fol-
two years under the harpist Grimm
who allowed her to play in public al
the end of that period. although 1t was
one of his principles that a harpist
should study for ten years. Countess
Rosalie has been an intimate friend OF
the German royal family. and both
Friedrich and the empress were de-
lighted to hear her play. Nowadays
she is a unique figure In the musical
and social life of Berlin and an in
SEPARATION to the younger students, who
see what a Joy and consolation an art
may be to one who has acquired II
faithfully.

CHAPTER VI

There was no mistaking those fea-
lures they belonged as unquestionably
to the man in tweeds as did the locket to
Barbara Graham. Moreover. the photo
graph did him Justice and showed an ex-
tremely progressing, slightly smiling
face. and that considered added insult
to the injury.
l snapped the locket together and put
1t In my breast pocket; then l hurled the
cushions down the cabin-steps. pulled
over the matches. and left the Ship. l
was In a very different humor from that
of an hour before.
All the way down the beach l pondered
the matter. How came the locket to
have dropped from the chain, how came
it to have fallen open when the catch
seemed so strong2 But these were petty,
trivial questions, the merest introductions
to the great, all-absorbing question-how
came Rodney Islip's picture there?
Alas, there seemed only one plausible
explanation, and l remembered the slight
air Of proprietorship, the amused smile
as though at some hidden joke. that had
struck me when Islip had come upon us
drinking tea. So they were In all like
lihood to be married, and l q poor joke
that had been batted back and forth like
shuttlecock between them. l tried to
laugh as one should who sees a clown
head in air, stumble over a broomstick
but the laugh was not even a passable
imitation.
The storm was coming, and | was glad
Of It. l wanted no more Of this fine
weather when a man was led to lapse into
rose-colored dreams and fancy himself a
prince with the world as his realm.
The rain began to spin against my
face. The storm was coming fast, ant

hounds yelping. But / would not run.

and let myself be soaked, for the poor
muddle-brained idiot that was.
Buts what Of herr Barbara Graham
looked to me like a consummate hirt
playing with me when she was trifl
weary Of the company of her accredite,
admirer. l knew that women sometime
did such things; did not consider tina
she was the worst Of her sex, but merely
striking instance Of the sex's lnsincerity

sunnowers are grown by many
poultrymen and farmers. The seed
make an excellent feed for poultry
and can be easily and probably pro
duced. The seeds can be sown in
rows and the crop cultivated the same
as corn. When ripe the seed is thrash
ed out and fed to the poultry either
whole or ground. II the sunhower
heads are thrown into the chicken
yard, the birds will thresh the seeds
out themselves with no expense to the
grower. 1t is an excellent fattening
food, and when fed with cracked corn
gives good results
II is too late this season to SOW the
sunhower seeds. but it is a good thing
to keep in mind for another year

Reports come from Ontario that the
perennial SOW thistle has gained a
firm foothold, making 1t the greatest
weed enemy with which the farmer
has to contend. 1t has been spread
from one farm to another by the
threshing machines, the numerous
seeds being easily carried. One meth
cd being advocated for it's eradication
is to SOW winter rye in September and
pasture 1t the following spring. This
can be followed in June by rye. tur-
nips or buckwheat. In this way crops
are secured and the SOW thistle
fought at the same time.

Fowls and Eggs.

Farmers Bulletin No. 12S, United
States Department of Agriculture,
says: 'aThe eggs of different kinds of
domestic poultry vary in size as well
as appearance, and there is also a con-
siderable range in the size of eggs of
different breeds. Thus, hens eggs
range from the small ones laid by ban
tams to the large ones laid by such
breeds as light Brahmas On an av-
erage a hens egg is 2.27 inches in
length, and 1.72 inches in diameter or
width at the broadcast point, and
weighs about ounces. or eight eggs
to the pound az pounds per dozen).
Generally speaking, the eggs of pullets
are smaller than those of old hens;
those of ducks somewhat larger than
hens eggs, while those of turkeys and
geese are considerably larger. Guinea
eggs, on an average, measure 11sx1 "a
inches, are rather pointed at one end,
and weigh about IA ounces each, or
II ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs
weigh about 5.5 to 81 ounces each, or
about pounds to the dozen-that is,
more than three times as much as
hens eggs. The eggs of wild birds are
said to be smaller than those of the
same species when domesticaeed. Wild
ducks eggs are said to be, on an av-
erage, 1877 to 2.17 inches in diameter;
domestic ducks eggs. 2.36 to 2.56

School Contest
 Recommendation

Having recently witnessed the "Gold Medal Contest" of Prof G NJ. Caldwell's ciass of pupils, it gives me pleasure to sdd my testimony to the value of his methods as displayed in the results achieved.
 am sure it must have been both . surprise and delight to the audience assembled to hear girIs and boys O. ages ranging from to l2 years-for an entire hour and with the greatest readiness solving examples in mental arithmetic. and percentsge-st the came time giving de6nations, analyiz ing processes. and explaining the principles involved in very clear lang. uaze Some of the work done in this line would have severely tested the s,t of pupils in the hig hest grades of our high schools. A like proficien- cy was shown in their spelling, reAd- ing and dfening.
 Prof. Caldwell impresses one as . natural born teacher-of ready sym psthy, patient and of magnetic en- thusiasm-s master of both the sub jects and of correct pedagogical method. His own extensive training under those great teachers, Dr. Dodge and Dr. Patton st Princeton, N. J. ,, and Prois. Mears and Frink at Hsmil- ton college, New York, hae furnish ed him with unusual qualifications for his work.
 Observing the enthusiastic reepons- iveness of his rupils, one could not but feel that the principles enuncist- ed in his books on "Chiid Culture and Natural Expression" were being s,rssdy written insHsscsb.y on the minds and hcarss Q: sbose under his tuition.
