The simple fact was; that their sympathies were enlisted! in a cause exclusively their own and5 they kept at work as diligently .as if they expected to get rich by it.

I talked the subject over with my husband and we decided on pigeons. We had none on‘ the farm and we reasoned that some- thing new would be more interesting to the boys and we were right.

I do not wonder at his attitude for no pains had been taken to encourage him in individual effort. We are the owners of a hundred-acre farm, yet neither of the children own- ed a plot of land or an animal.

The powder should be dusted in liberal quantities into all locations in the house frequented by the insects, especially in pantries and under sinks.

They are night prowlers and usually remain hidden during the daytime. ‘Roaches may be recognized by their brown or black color and their size, which is usually a half inch or more in length. Their‘ flat bodies are well fitted for hiding away in cracks under baseboards. Roaches reproduce by means of eggs and the young roach is similar in ap- pearance to the mature forms, except- ing in size and in the absence of wings that indicate the full grown insect. They are probably the most an- noying of common insects, according to Mr. Webster, and some time in the history of nearly every home they make their appearance and cause the housewife no end of trouble. “In towns roaches may move from house to house," said Mr. Webster. “They have even been known to leave one house in large numbers and mi- grate to another. But whether they enter in bands or singly they are a pest that is especially repulsive.” That roaches have a gypsy nature is declared by R. L. Webster, ento- mologist. Rhubarb Conserve is delicious. It requires three pounds of rhubarb cut into pieces, three oranges, three pounds of sugar, three-quarters of a cupful of water, one pound of raisins, one-half pound of shelled nuts (if de- sired). Wash and slice the oranges, including the rind, wash the raisins and seed, then chop the nuts. Mix1 the ingredients and boil slowly for about three-quarters of an hour. Pour hot into jars and seal at once. Strawberry Rice requires one~half cupful of rice, one and onequarter cupfuls of butter, two cupfuls of milk, one box strawberries, one-half tea- spoonful of salt. Wash rice and cook in the milk until soft, adding one- quarter cupful of sugar and the salt. Remove the cover and allow the mix- ture to thicken. Pick over, wash and mash the strawberries. Add one- third cupful of sugar, and set in warm place for a couple of hours in order to extract the juice.

As John Brayton recited the details of the old grievance his voice rose in indignation. The minister had heard the story a score of times. Pete: Brayton had rehearsed it only the week before. The minister's heart was saddened because of the quarrel which had occurred between the two brothers, who were influential men in his parish. He had tried ineffectually to smooth out the difference between them, but it seemed a hopeless under- taking.
