Keep Male BirGs Away.

The poultryman who will keep his
male birds away from the hens dur
ing the summer and fall months will
reap the benefit of his foresight in the
extra strong fertility of his eggs dur
ing the coming Matching season. The
male bird that spends the summer
and winter months in celibacy is in a
much better condition to impregnate
the eggs than one who has run with
the hens the year round and is sexual
ly exhausted or partially so.

CHAPTER xIII-(contInued.)

Yet, to Berry, this hectic prospect
looked gray; all color seemed sucked
from IT. 1t appeared pale and alien,
its comfortable intimacy gone. She
was like a stranger walking in a
strange place, forlorn, remote land.
where she felt miserable and home
sick. The sense of being dazed was
passing from her. Walking forward
with short, careful~steps, she was
slowly coming to the meaning Of her
discovery-adjusting herself to It,
realizing its significance. She had an
uncomfortable sensation Of not being
able to control the muscles round her
mouth, SO that II spoken to she would
have had difficulty In answering, and
would have been quite unable to
smile.
An open carriage passed her, and
she drew aside, then mechanically
looked after 1t as 1t rolled forward.
There was a single figure in it-a
woman. Berry could see her head over
the lowered hood, and the little para
sol she held, white with a black lace
cover and having a joint in the handle.
Her eyes followed this receding head.

nah and Josh and Hazel. turning to
drop on them quick looks, which
seemed, from its elevated position and
the shortness Of the inspection, to
have something Of disdain in them.
AS the carriage drew near Dominick,
who walked at the head of the line
with Pearl by the hand, Berry saw the
head move, lean forward, and then, as
the vehicle overhauled and passed
the young man. turn at right angles
and bow to him. The wheel almost
brushed his shoulder He drew back
from 1t with a start and lifted his hat.
Hazel, who was walking just in front
of Berry, turned and projecting her
lips so that they stood out from her
face in a red circle, Kissed through
them:
"Old Lady Ryan," and then in a
slightly louder key:
"You take a Ratchet and I'll take a
saw,
And well cut off the head OF my
mother-in-law."
