Making Poultry Profitable.

Being practical men, farmers and
others who keep poultry on limited
scale want to know whether it is profit
able. To large class OF rural residents
there is very little doubt that it does not
pay to the extent that it might be made
to do. To many the keeping of poultry
is merely matter OF convenience, in
stead OF a source of revenue. and MANY
times the conven ence is an inconveni-
ence. for when eggs are wanted they
seem to be scarce. in winter, espec al
ly. they are very scarce. as the rule To
obtain eggs plentfully in winter we
must obtain and prepare the stock, and
bring them into laying condition. Hens
Will not lay unless kept in good order
any more than cow will give milk
without suitable food and care. They
should not be too fat. but active; combs
bright red, eyes sparkling; feathers close
and glossy; in short, their whole ap-
pearance should be lively and healthy.
These essentials are best found in Young
stock. | imagine that the matter OF
what particular breed we keep has less
to do with the question than the fact of
care, if they are hardy and healthy. AS
stated above the secret of winter Law.
ing lies in getting hens up in good con-
dition first, and then caring Tor them
properly. The. practical man can tell
at glance the exact condition of his
stock, if he is fit for this business.
Fresh air is important. The house
should be well ven lated at all times,
and in warm days thrown open, for a
time, TO give all the air poss:b BILE. The
matter or ventilation is cutie important,
and the best models yet to be found. A
good way is 10 have openings at, or
near the top of the room. and 10 keep
some OF them open, more or less, at all
times. When the wind blows hard,
causing a strong draft through the
building, those openings to the wind
ward side should be closed tight.
Cleanliness is most important consid-
Grafton in keeping many fowls. If the
hens are confined to the house the drop
pings should be taken up cry morn
ing. hoe, or scraper and shovel will
be needed, and then broom to sweep
the floor Keep barrel near at hand
in which to deposit the manure. which
is best kept dry till used. After clean
ing the DOR scatter a very light coat OF
dry loan or earth over it. In the alb
sence of this little short cut hay or
sweet litter answers. Very important
essentials are feeding and watering in
such a manner that the food and water
shall not get any filth in them Have it
so arranged that the hens cannot either
step into or roost on or o er them, or
scratch dirt into them. iced regularly
and careiully.-C0r. Country Gentle

The GLOBE cordially tenders to its tens
of thousands of readers on this Christmas
morning the Joyous salutations so common
and appropriate on this return of the
divinely allotted anniversary of the Re-
deemer's birth; wishing that Joy may
reign unconfined in every happy house

childhood and their ecstatic delights; and
that the interchanges of social life, and
the graver exercises of devout religious
services, may gladden. and strengthen in
Vulnerable hearts with rational enjoyment
and satisfaction.
What an suspicious moment was that.
now long centuries gone by, when the
glory of the Lord shone around the
Judean shepherds, who were abiding in
the field keeping watch over their Hocks
by night, when the angelic song burst upon
their astonished ears echoing from earth
to heaven, Gear not, for behold I bring
you tidings of great joy, which shall be
unto all people. For unto you is born
this day in the city of David Saviour
which is Christ the Lord.''
Thus a new era burst upon the world
The prefgured types and shadows of the
old dispensation had reached glorious
fulfillment, prophetic economy had been
accomplished, and life and Immortality
was to be brought to light in the glorious
gospel of the worlds Redeemer.
It is not thought that the birth
of Christ was celebrated in
the first centuries of the Christian church
nor is it believed that the 25th of Decem-
Der is the true day of the divine nativity.
Among the early churches the festival of the
nativity was celebrated, sometimes in jan
uary, and other times in April, and in
May.
In the 9Th century, the Western church
ordered the birth of the Savior to be eel
ebrated forever ON the day of tie old Ro'
man feast of the birth of Sol, on the 18th
of December, though no information of
the day of Christ's birth existed. It was
known that Christ was born during the night
and therefore divine service was performed
in the night of December 24-2t, from
