Not yet had he learned the lesson of the hills, though he drew a little nearer to the secret. when he told Miss Manesty of his disenchant~ canva “Why, Cap’n Dan,” he cried, “it’s nothing like what I thought it; would be. Skiddaw's not a bit bigger; in fact, it’s less her than at from ms gripped him “Why, Ca mcr “Not so big, eh?” she dryly reâ€" marked. “Look bigger at Alle_r~ dale, do they, laddiel Wait till you are as old as me and you’ll learn that mountains are very much like'men, the nearer you got to them the smaller they look. I_"ve known lots of men in my time who’ve been tremendously fine fel~ lows at a distance, but close up they’ve been parched and poky bits of skin and bone, things with gristly hearts and brains that wouldn’t Weigh. Here and there’s an odd one you can stand up to without losing a bit of your faithâ€"and Dav~ id, your father, ’11 be hurt if your not one of that brand.” The boy nodded his head thought fully, and again glanced critically at the mountains, and just at that moment a vast fleecy cloud trailed across the blue and dropped its shadow on the turf and crag, where upon David clapped his hands in ecstasy. “Oh, look, 'Cap’n Dan, look; old Skiddaw seems bigger at Allerdale, but it never shows its shadows to us there.” “Nor its great bonny patches of heather flowers,” Cap’n Dan com- pleted the picture. “Mountains and men again," Miss Manestv moralized. and then. the boy, she added, “My father used to say that you could never appreciate a. man unless you work- ed with him, nor a woman unless you lived with her; and I often wonder how we stand to those about us, far too much shadow I’m afraid, far too much shadow.” “Don’t forget the heather flowâ€" ers, ma’am; there’s a gay lock on Skiddaw among all its shadows,” C‘ap’n Dan caustically added, and was then overpowered by the recolâ€" lection of his boldness, but the mis- tress of Sleddlemere laughed de‘x lightedly. It was seldom that any- one dared a. lesson to Miss Manâ€" esty‘ and this one pleased her. For the two elders and Margery the day provided many themes and many interests, but David passed through all its hours under the spell of the mountains. From his sense of disappointment he awoke by degrees to a realization of their stupendousness; they cried to him vuu . notes then past. the 5 ion ( veilet ly: back; best.

So vast in the distance, how stu- wndous must it be to the nearer "law? This was the thought which lominated him as he tripped over fine falls by Dan’s side; he would see the mountains grow bigger with lis approach, and a dozen times it have him hot foot in front that he night the sooner note the growth, mt nearly always when he reached in: summit of the fell he found anâ€" )thi‘ one in front, and whenever )ld Skiddaw loomed again before 1im, its stature was not a. cubit he Mountains and men again," 35 Manesty moralized, and then, aking more to the sailor than boy. she added. “Mv father en he shook his fist at the‘ main and pronounced it a often his imagination of Skiddaw's g n the distance, nust it; be to th had stood u; c and upon ‘ ginntionx painted aw's grandeur. :t-ancc, how stu- e to the nearer e thought which )m Man expansn'e Jsho st-s’ 5130! la! )n 16 Yes, Margery Manesty has gone, and Margery Manesty is here; the madcap maiden in repose; the laugh that; roused the echoes exâ€" changed for the smile of content; the riotous curls for rippling waxe- lets, not quite so rebellious, but still tempting the sunbeams to a game of hide and seek; hazel eyes serious now a, little oftener than in sting, from which it may be assumâ€" ed that she, too, had touched the edge of satisfaction. As for Margery, the world held but one David, and he was her chum. Had they lived in one of the screaming, chattering,- busy- body towns they would already have plighted their troth or else been driven apart, for there 3 man may not look upon a maid without some foolish eye drooping hinting~ ly, nor speak to her without some wanton tongue whispering of mar-- riage: but in the freedom of the land where only the mountains look on and gossip is left to the waters, the friendship of such as these two may be for more than a. day. So Margery and her chum David toyed with destiny, lending their hands to Miss Manesty as she tended the weaklings of her garden, reading together on the terraced slope of Wythop Woods, gliding over the Skyâ€"tinted surface of the great lake, or climbing to secret places of the encircling mountains. Thus, until the day of discovery when David dropped his boyhood and Margery ceased to be a girl. Upon all of them Old Time has left the impress of his fingers, not always the brand of decay, as shalâ€" low-minded people would have us think. Little Margery Manesty, the child of elfin witchery has gone, and sometimes when alone in her garden, with only the darkening shadows of the hills and the silence of the Yale about her, Nanny Man- esty yearns passionately for the bairn who laughed and romped and coaxed and teaseâ€"d, longs for the wand of the magician that she might restore the Past into the Present. Sits and longs until upon the silence there breaks the liquid notes of an _ old-world song, and then Nanny Manesty forgets the‘ past. By-and-by across the lawn the singer lightly trips, and the ris- ion of the old lady in the arbor is veiled by a mist, she mutters soft- ly: “My Margery! I wouldn't go back, not for a. day. This is the best. . . I’m a. foolish old woman~ aired and he was faithful to “bar- lcy broad an’ guid, stick-by-t‘-rib oatmeal poddish,” he would prob- ably “do.” This, for Bella, was testimony of ecstatic eloquence. Cap'n Dan, on the other hand, was for ever striving to turn his thoughts into words, and for ever failing in the effort. Once he ad- vanced so far as to inform Miss Manesty that her “polish was showing fine,” but was straightway silenced by an assurance that “polâ€" ish never showed until grey hairs came,” and theraftcr he contented himself with a. wink, an expansive smile, and an occasional boast among his sea-going cronies that on the whole of Solwayside there was no such head for shipping and book learning as Davie’s. Miss Man~ learnmg as Dame’s.

If, when you open the barn door on a cold morning, the steam pours out, you may know that your barn is not properly ventilated. How was it with you last winter? If it was not properly ventilated, then your cows have not been comfor- table. If the steam, which is the breath of the cows and their perâ€" spiration, has made the atmosphere so damp that it becomes a good conâ€" ductor, your cows have not been as comfortable in a well made open shed open to the south; You do not feel so comfortable on a foggy day as in one clear and cool. Do you want your cows to continue in that condition this winter and thus make an insufficient use of grain and ‘CIOâ€" ver hay that you are feeding? Moreorer, your cows will be breath- ing vitiated air heavily laden with carbonic acid gas, which is injuri- ous to them, air which is deficient in the oxygen which is absolutely essential to her making proper use of the feed.
