Poultry Notes.


NEVER expect hens to pay for them
selves in winter unless YOU give them a
little extra care.
NEVER fail to have good supply Of
gravel where it is available for use when
the snow is on the ground
NEVER begrudge few dollars for some
fresh blood each year. for it will always
be worth more than it cost you if you get
the right stuff.
NEVER cheat yourself with the idea
that there is as much profit in an old hen
as there is III a Young one. An old hen
will lay quite likely, but not SO many
eggs as will young one.
NEVER feed your chickens three times
a day, twice is often enough unless it be
in cold stormy weather, when it is a good
plan to throw a handful of fine grain in
the straw and litter at odd times to keep
thc hens busy.
NEVER forget that every poultry
fancicr has his hobby and that each and
every breed has its merits, but the fowl
that can stand the test of the common
market is the fowl for the poor man.

roads. Railroad transportation rates
have been reduced until it costs no more
to carry Il buShel of grain to the seaboard
than it does TO haul it the average dis
lance from the farm To the railroad 1t
does not look very we'll then, TO be
grumbling about freight rates when
there is such an enormous waste of
power dragging loads of grain from the
farm to town over bad roads Good
roads would greatly lower the cost of
transportation, and bring the farmer
nearer the market. In no better way
can the selling value of the average farm
be increased than by good roads. The
popular way to make any expense abhOr-
red is TO show it upas tax. A very good
application of this can be made to bad
roads. Some of the taxes about which
the farmer is urged to grumbe are ut
terly insignificant i'll comparison with the
and often through-which he haulS his
products to market 1t costs money to
build good roads. but they are worth all
they cost. 1t costs a good deal more to
travel over bad ones than it does to build
good ones. One of the best things the
farmers of any community could do for
themselves and the common welfare is to
unite and thoroughly improve the high
WAYS. The best mrthods of doing this
should be discussed and decided upon at
the institutes, and organized efforts made
to carry out the improvements FuIm

confirmed in the opinion that as ruie
the man with small farm has less care

With large farm. On a large farm
there is loss of time in drawing the
crops. taking out manure, and in getting
around to feed stock. and the owner can
not give that personal attention to which
the owner Of Il small farm can. and as Il
consequence there must be innumcra bic
small losses which aggregate a large sum.

At the Gates of Damascus


Consul Gilman, of Jerusalem, notifies the

coveries have been made during the year TO

for the sewer and paving of the street rum

similar In every respect to the massive an
cient pavement uncovered two years before
in the adj 1Ding streets. Both Of these Ro-
mau paVements connect. aud the result ie
what more than two yesTs ego l foretoid
would be found to be the case, VIZ. that q
continuous Roman pavement would be found
leading from the Judgment Esll of Plate. In
the Ecce Homo Convent, to the Damascus
Gate, and through this to the place of exc
cutiop (crucifxiop) On the hill outside. This
last discovered pavement runs from the Ro.
man pavement OF the Damascus road street
past the Turkish barracks and Ecco Homo
Convent, as already mentioned, 10 the Tower
of Antonio, and have no doubt the feet
OF our Lord trcd those stones on The way TO
His cruci6xion, and back aud forth that ter
rible night before.
Two years ago my personal investigation
satisfied nee that the present position of the
Damascus Gate ie that Of the original gate.
The fact of the two Roman pavements, to
which have referred, meeting there at an
acute angle, when taken in connection With
other points, settled the question for me-.
This is smother justification OF the sssump-

cover the place of the cruo;6csion and the

found pavement opposite the convent, is e1-

simply because the pavement was to them
