A grip of her hand that almost
hurt her ; a light in his eyes which

and he echoed her final words—

Poftness in both their voices, in
their whole manner. A reciprocated

So they parted.

CHAPTER IX.
Miss Mivvins was very full of
thought of the man who had left
her ; he was full to the point of
aver -brimming of thought of her.
They were soulful thoughts, which
lasted them both till sleep closed
1 hn windows of their souls.
In the case of the man the eye-
lids remained wide open till the
giey dawn flashed rosily before the
rising sun. Even then he dreamt:
of her.
Later, when he awoke, it was evi-
dent that a halo of success would
surround his weather prophecy.

DOES POULTRY FARMING PAY 7
This question, very commonly
asked, is not very easily answered.
Like all other kinds of business,
poultry keeping without proper su-
pervision, will not pay ; neither will
any other business that 1 am ac-
quainted with. Under an efficient
system of management, however,
poultry farming can be made to
yield very satisfactory profits.
No ono should attempt to keep
poultry with a view of profits and
the rearing of a large number, who
is not prepared to bestow a consid-
erable amount of caro and atten-
tion upon the charge he is under-
taking. By a system of thorough
routine, the necessary trouble and
pains necessary in properly caring
for poultry become simplified. The

Cheese making is one of the old-

an article of diet back in the hazy
times of history, and has never lost
out with changing fashions. It is
found in the plains of South Africa,
on the shores of the Mediterran-
ean, in the passes of the Alps, on
the banks of the Rhine and the
Rhone, on the steppes of Eiberia,
and in the cottages of the pea-
sants, in the palaces of princes,
and on lunch counters of the civil-
ized and serni-eivilered world. Age

the infinite variety of cheese. There
are cheeses in existence and grow-
ing stronger every day that are
older than any existing Govern-
ment. One particular cheese is
mentioned as being over two hun•
dred years old, and reflecting great
credit on the family that possesses
it. Over in Switzerland they have
a pleasant custom of making a
cheese at the birth of a child and
eating it, at his funeral feast or at
the funeral of his son or grandson.
