Food for Young Chicks.

Although the old hen has not thought
much OF breeding. yet the time when incu-
batOrs are Smelling out the little downy
beauties is fast approaching, and by March
a lot of marketable broilers should be ready.
The food for the young Should be varied.

Young chick. Raw corn Is very irritable

must be thoroughly cooked. Feed in clean
dish or trough, never a dirty one; the inn

food for Young chicks is an equal amount OF
corn meal and bran, with little salt, mix
soft with skim milk and bake in pan over
not too hot fire. This can be used steadily
with good results, with oatmeal now and
then az a change. A little meat cut very
fine mixed in is also good IN a limited quan-
tity after week cid.

Profitable Currant Growing.

To diversity farm interests as much as

ing than the common red currant. owing
IN attacks by the currant worm, the price

remain in, This year fruit OF most KINDS
has been exceptionally scarce. and cur
rants have sold higher than usual. EXten-

Mound. and at this rate 500 to $500 per
acre have been realized. Ii is evident that
AT mitch lower prices than this the crop
must prove a most profitable one!

Feeding Coarse Food.

IL seems that the hen is a creature that
does not want highly concentrated food, for il
fed with such il will lay on too much fat and
become unpr0ductiye. This is law OF ma
ture. Nothing produces more dyspeptic peO-
pie than fine and highly concentrated food

variably advise you 10 eat coarse food. The
stomach seems 10 need a csrtatn amount Of
"huss~ intermingled with the food. A
number OF teamsters who went to the Black
Hills a few years ago came back In the
middle OF winter. They had plenty Of oats
10 feed the horses, and 80 long az they were
able TO mud dry grass on the prairie the
horses did well. But heavy SHOWS came, so
that they could not get at the dry grass, and
having no hay the horses were fed all the
oats they wanted; they sickened and died.
The veterinarian said it was from eating
TOO highly concentrated food.
A bushel Of wheat contains sixty pounds
of food. but that does not prove that il is
the hest food. Sugar is highly concen-
trated food. but everyone knows that IL Is
moi the best food. Graham and rye bread
are much better than tine cakes. The food
which will give strength TO the body and Is
best suited TO the workings OF the digestive
organs must be a good food.

Po!nta on Ducks.

Ducks do not need as much water as many
suppose, and they may be raised on larms
where there is no pond or running water,
saws Annie {. Webster in the American
CIiltlyator 4 good substitute is to build a
system Of wooden trOughs, which should be
kept full Of water at all times. Let the
ducks have free access TO these troughs ana
they will never suffer from the lack oil

wide enough for the birds TO swim about,

be attended to regularly, and besides ami
NAL and green food they should have worms

also be given to them with their food TO pre-
serve their health.
The best way is to let the ducks forage
for themselves in the daytime and teach
them to come 10 their own pen at night.
Treat them kindly and they will soon do
this. The ducklings need great care and
attention, and as they grow faster than
chicks they are ready for market in eight or
ten weeks. Aquet mOtherly hen should be

The FIRST eggs from pullets should not be
used for Matching If hens eggs can be con-
yeniently obtained. This is not an cid nor
silly notion at all, for the objection 10 their
use Is based on physiology. Ii il therefore
accepted as a fact, experience confirms this.
After young pullet puts on her adult
and increase in size until she has fully de-
yeioped and reached the age Of maturity.
The first eggs never are as large as those
laid at maturity. They therefore lack the
elements Of full growth which ripper age
produces. This point worth considering
in your selection Of laying stock.

The Doctrine of Immortality.

The revelation of Immortality through
the gospels was the emphasis Of fact or
faith In fact that already existed, II III
did not dominate, in the thought OF man
kind. Until recently the great religions
that antedated Christianity were supposed
90 teach the doctrine of future lie ana
mans responsibility 20 the Supreme Power.
Professor Max Muller has ably shown that
Buddhism il pregnant with this teaching,
but his position is challenged and his proofs
are put to the test. The Dharmaptda
must be read again, and more carefully
than ever for a strateg point 10 ut stake
In the discussion. Perhaps some one VIII
appear who Will dispute the claim that
Brsminism is specific in its utterances OF
immortality; even Soroaster may be
INTERPRETED SIS ambiguous or silent
on, the momentous theme; and We
may finally learn that no
pagan religion is illumined with fore
shadowings on future existence. The
doctrine of immortality was made manifest
by the great Teacher because IL was but
dimly indicated by the sayes OF the ancient
faiths; because even Judaism was almost
quiescent respecting IL; because the human
mind but vaguely proclaimed II, and be-
cause a knowledge OF IL is an inspiration TO
live according TO the best standards and
thd conditions Of progress. In an intellec-
tual poiut Of view II is well 30 ascertain
the extent of the spiritual barrenness of the
old-time religions, for they We're spiritually
aimless aud non-productive OF an orderly
aud progressive life. But IL is equally well
20 remember that they had proyidential
relation 20 the final religion and served
propedeutic use in history. Judaism was
not the only preparatory religion Tor Chris
tianitv. PaganIsm, though idolatrous. was
sign-board pointing % Calvary. With It's
ipcarnatiOne sacrifices, systems OF dutis .,
despsiring ethics and groanings for new
conditions, II meant more than II pro-
claimed, and voiced the want OF redemp-
ZION and Immortality. The weakness Of
present-siay criticism Of the old system is
that Il applies the Gospel standard 10 them.
whereas they should be interpreted from
their own standpoints rather than from
ours. This the critic declines 10 do, and
