Outing . ot, primarily, a thingto stare at, but a place to live in. The lawn immediately about thehouse is cropped close, and in earlyspring it is abloom with thousands ofvaricolored crocuses, followed later bypoets narcissus, planted with a lavishhand. Beyond, the fields are undis-turbed and until haying time the sun-light chases the soft shadows across broadacres of waving grass, purple clover, ox-eyed daisies, and golden buttercups. Mr. Kennards hobby is ornithology,and his love for and knowledge of birdsare everywhere apparent. Among thebarberry bushes near the house you willsee an artistic food house for featheredguests, and sharp eyes can discover scoresof inconspicuous bird houses fastened tothe trees in woodland and orchard. Andnot the least of the delights experiencedin walking through this estate is in see-ing how heartily the birds accept the hos-pitality extended to them. Some of the houses are occupied bybluebirds, others by chickadees, crestedflycatchers, woodpeckers, and screech.
