Dinner was.ovei, and every one was scattered about the grounds and lawn. She could just catch a glimpse of her father' lying back serenely asleep in his cosy chair.

The strict old gentleman of the story was esteemed and loved by all, -- says his son -in -law, --despite the fact that he commanded' his ship and his household in much the sallpe fashion. Writing about my father-in-law, Lord Hardwicke, has reminded me' of what was told me by one of my Beast -guard men attached to a sta. tion I once commanded on the south coast. I had driven my wife out with me to inspect this division, and soon after the inspection was over a gray-haired old man, one of the crew, asked to be allowed to speak to me. "Certainly," I said, "but what about?" , "Please, sir," he replied, "that 'ere lady as was along with you this morning—I am sure I knows her 'face. They tells me, sir, as she is your good lady-" "Yes," I said, -"what about her?" "Well, sir," he went on, "as sure as my name is Johnson, I was bow- man of Lord Hardwick's,galley when he commanded the Vegeance op the straits.

Preserv- ed fruits are imported into the United States to the value of about $2,000,000 per annum. British marmalade is produced from sour oranges and sugar. The best known 'firms use almost exclu- sively the Seville (Spain) bitter orange, which has comparatively little pulp and consists mainly of rind, the substance most desirable for the making of good, marmalade. Messina and Palermo bitter or- anges, although not considered as good as those of Seville, are also used, but command a much lower price. Oranges being perishable and their attractiveness and freshness continuing for so short a time, the brokers accept the highest bids made on the day of sale and never reserve the fruit for future offer- ings. The sales are held regularly on what are known as market days.

If you are satin fieri with the mixed breeds, good, bad and indifferent, we can give you very little' advice as to their management, If you propose to raise good :thickens, fowls tbitt will make a maximum of the greatest number of eggs, or produce the greatest pounds of meat, select'. your breed and then buy pure bred eggs. You can only get these by buying from breeders whose integ- rity is unquestioned and who aro ready to guarantee that their eggs. will produce birds true to type. Insist upon having eggs from hens and not from young pullets. Eggs from a hon that is fully grown and matured will naturally pockets more birds and stronger birds than eggs from pullets .who are still in a state of growth. Sometimes; it is true, that pul- let eggs hatch out well, but they do not produce birds with the vigor and stamina that come from ma- ture eggs. And you will find that the chicks from pallet eggs will bo more subject to disease and more will die. If you have a good breed and raise your own eggs, separate the best hens of your flock and seleet the best eggs from these. Never set an egg from a hen that is puny, or that has had a touch of disease at any time or that is in any way deformed, no matter how slightly. POULTRY NOTES. A good ,remedy for feather pul- ling hens is said to be a piece of tough meat or bone with lean meat clinging to it. They will pick at the meat instead of pulling fea- thers. In setting hens, or in incubating artificially, the Minnesota experi- ment station has found best results by selecting eggs of a uniform size, with smooth shell and as perfectly formed as possible. Keep the brooder perfectly clean, and always feed the chicks in a clean place if you want them to live. and thrive. When the chicks can get away from it at will, plenty of heat un- der the hover is a good thing. Just one setting of thoroughbred eggs may be the means of working a revolution in your poultry busi- ness. usiness. Plan to raise a fine flock of gen- eral purpose standard bred birds this season. They will yield much more satisfaction and profit than a mixed flock. A writer in an exchange says that all the eggs put into an inoubator must be of one color, or "the game is a losing one." Also that "it won't do to put white shelled and dark shelled eggs together," State- ments like this make the experienc- ed poultryman smile. HINTS FOR THE DAIRYMAN. The best thing for any dairying locality is the organization of cow test associations. The animal that pays the best is bound to be in evidence as dairy- men become better informed. It is a mistake to suppose that a good cow of inferior breeding is qualified to drop a good calf. Never feed hay, or sweep or in any way stir up dust just previous to milking time, for this will con- tribute to the introduction of bac- teria, which contaminates and in- jures the quality of the milk. Dirt always contains germs. Therefore wipe all dust from the cow's udder and flanks with a wet cloth before milking begins and :fee that no dirt has gained entrance to the milking pail. Separate the cream while the milk is still warm and in cold weather first run hot water :through the separator to warm it. Strain the milk into the separator through a wire gauze. KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS. The growing of hoed crops, corn, potatoes, etc., upon the land infest- ed to the greatest extent possible. The growing of clover and alfal- fa whenever practical, because these crops occupy the soil well and may be cut several times a year, thus preventing seeding to a great ex- tent. The growing of soiling crops, both because of the fact that they may be cut at almost any time and because of their smothering qua- lities. Keep the land constantly at work growing some crop. Avoid fi111,"re When OHO eon comes off start another' immediately, for you may be sure if you don't start one Nature will. Stimulate the soil to a vigorous production by means of thorough cultivation and liberal use of fer- tilizer. If the cultivated plants make a vigorous growth, there will be less room and less chance for the weeds. England has ono thing to be thankful for. Ise pictures post card is dying out there.
