Wentworth locked the door of the office, sat down in his big chair, and picked up the manuscript.

"Good morning," There was a sur- prised glance on Enoch's face while he spoke. Andrew nodded a response, then he drew a package of manuscript from his pocket. Wentworth's eyes turn- ed on him curiously while he flattened it °tat on the table before him. No unnecessary courtesies passed be- tween them. "I rewrote the scene as you sug- gested," said Andrew carelessly. "That was good of you." In his sur- prise Wentworth showed an impulsive friendliness. He stretched out his hand for the manuscript. There was no cordiality in Merry's face. He glanced quietly through the written sheets. "You caunb this change in the play a necessity?" he asked brusquely. "I guess that's what it might be ealled.' Wentworth's voice was impa- tient, and, )frown chaseli across his face. "Oswald's been asking for ib this morning. When a quiet fellow like him makes up his mind to have a thing, he's apt to be confoundedly in- sistent.» "Then you want it?" "Certainly."

Before 1 hand it held Merry's writing and touched the paper with a match. It leaped into a red blaze. He watched - it care- fully, poking the sheets over with a paper knife until each one fell away into a shivering back ash. When every spark had. died he turned on a faucet, and the light ashes were swept down the waste pipe. He rubbed a speck of grime from his hands and opened the box office door. Oswald sat on a high stool beside the window. "Here is the second act," said Went- worth brusquely. "I imagine it will suit you. The changes are exactly what you suggested.' - "Oh, splenh.iid!" Oswald's voice was cordial. "I'm ever so glad you felt like it. You will say yourself it is an improvement." "I hope so." Enoch spoke listlessly. "And, Dingley, while I think of it send a' message bads, to Miss Paget. Ask if a can see her now, in her dressing room for a. few minutes." He turn- ed to Oswald. "I must explain to her the change we're making. - Bet- ter have the part copied at once;' it must be put into quick rehearsal."

Pure illiik For Butter -Making. It is most essential to use only pure uncontaminated milk for the pro!luc- tion of butter when the finished pro- duct is to be of prime quality. In a great many cases where butter has an objectionable flavor it is due to the milk employed being badly contain- mated with undesirable bacteria,. Cream is ripened by bacteria, and it is only when the right species of germs predominate in the cream that • it will ripen properly. The germs which produce ladle acid, and thus ripen cream, have the power of over- coming other species of bacteria un- less the cream is very badly contam- inated, in which ease the eream- ripening organisms could not perform their functions. -- Why Milk Sours.

An 'official British photograph taken "somewhere", along the region of the Di ngitsli drive showing a British company lined up for roll -call in one of the advanced trenches after the gruelling battle of July 14th. The items other than feed are as follows: Value at birth, $5, labor $11.50, bedding $4.50, service fee $1.50 tools, etc., $1.50, shelter $4, interest and taxes $4.68, or a total of $32:86. Nine dollars is credited for manure, leaving the net cost $23.68. To this must be added the feed cost. The total cost of raising the Jersey heifers to two years of age was $78.10, and the Holsteins $81.80, the difference being due to the larger animals eat- ing more feed. They were charged 30 cents a month for pasture the first year, and 90 cents the second. The pasture had to be supplemented with grain in order to keep the heifers growing properly. The heifers were bred to calves at twenty-six and one-half month of age, anti at calving time the cost averaged $91.39. • The high cost of heifers as brought out by these' different studies, clearly shows the folly of raising inferior in- dividuals. It costs just as much to feed a heifer sired by an inferior bull as one sired by a high class bull. The figures also show why dairymen are justified in asking good prices for well-bred dairy stock. As a dairy farmer recently stated, they -cannot afford tosell really good heifers for $60 or $70. The dairymen who insist on buying only cheap stock will get only culls, and would - be - better off without them. They 'must expect to pay good prices for well-bred heifers that have been properly grown and developed. The economical thing for the dairy- man who is just getting a start, is to give the most careful, attention to the feeding of his heifer calves, saving only those having the right kind of parents. Even though the cost of bringing a -'heifer up to calving, time does seem high, it is the safest and most reliable way of adding to the herd and is cheaperr in the long run than to depend on buying. , Z$ose Bacteria cause the souring of milk. Bacteria usually gee into milk in uirt and the bacteria develop fart when the milk is warm, To keep the bac- teria out, keep dirt out of the milk. This means care in milking and care to have the milk utensils clean. Keep- ing the milk cool will retard the de- velopment of the bacteria, that dpi get into the mill.. Gans or ,vessels that have hnd milk in them should be rinsed in cool water first, as hot wat- er hardens the albumen of the milk and makes it hard to remove. - W. t'.

Bran is not especially good for the young calf because it is too laxative. The grain mixture should be fed immediately after the milk, and neither should be fed too liberally, or scours may result. S'roRMs HIS MOTHER'S HOME. Son Knew Germans Had Driven Itis Parent From It. The Chateau La Maisonette, France, so often named in recent bulletins on the Somme fighting, is the property of Mme. Fernet who has lived there for many years. The property is close to Biaches and Peronne. The owner was there in August, 1914, when Von Kluck's forces passed through during their rush upon Paris. She remained. in her house and for months after- ward no news was beard of her. One of her sons, Victor Fernet, son-in-law of Gen. Boisdeffre, although free from military obligations, volunteered at the beginning of the war, and the hazards of war sent him recently to the Somme front, where he has shar- ed in all the attacks made. A letter from Germany had inform- ed him that his mother, who had re- mained until a short time ago at La Maisonytette, had been sent away with almost all her aged servants, so that he was able to take part in an attack which meant the destruction of his home without the fear that his mo- ther was still there, The Germans made six desperate efforts to retake La Maisonnette be- tween 11 p.m. Sunday (July 16) and Monday afternoon. Each was made by at least a battalion, but each was defeated. 3000 SHIPS UNDER JELLICOE. Tightness of the Blockade ' Sur- passes Expectations. In an article in the current number c- "Cassell's Magazine of Fiction" on British effort on land and sea, Mr. Frederick Palmer, the well-known American journalist and war corres- pondent, tells that "including the re- gular naval and the auxiliary vessels, soine 3000 ships are under Sir John Jellicoe's command. Success in keep- ing tight the blockade between Ice- land and the North Sea surpasses ex- pectations. - • It was feared that. a number of raiders might get by, and, considering that the fog in the North Sea is often so thick that a man can hardly see his own hand held out -be- for e' him, it is amazing that only one . raider has got through at the time of writing. The fuss made over that single one is proof of the pudding to naval experts, who realize' the diffucil- ties if the layman does not It was as unusual as in the saca of the man biting the dog."
