Improved Fowls.

Texas Rarm and Ranch says: The
greatest improvement that can be made
in chickens is by careful selection and
breeding from those specimens which
possess the qualities desired. We hold,
in the interest of utility that the best
fowls Of all are those which possess the
best table and laying qualities. Next
TO these come general uniformity in ex-
ternal appearance, which causes them
10 sell to better advantage, but add
nothing to the value Of the fowls in the
hands Of the consumer. This improve
ment requires only common sense and
care. No technical or scientific knowl-
edge is required. Let the hens be care
fully watched and their laying habits
carefully noted; from the best layers
save breeders, male and female, reject
ing those that are badly lacking in
color or form, even IL excellent layers.
This is merely a concession to buyers
who prefer uniform lots. II any mani
fest superior table qualities note
whence they come, and watch with
view of duplicating these qualities.
Commence always with an established
breed, but give eggs and flesh prefer
ence over standard points, unless you
wish to compete for prizes in show.
In that case everything must give way
to a consideration of standard require
ments. Eggs and flesh don't count in
poultry show. In this way every
farmer can improve his fowls and make
them more and more profitable as the
process continues. Every year or two
years a fresh cock of the breed used
should be introduced to prevent weak
ening by inbreeding. This advice will
give some of the poultry writer's an
attack of cacoethes scribendi and they,
notwithstanding they know that this
theory of Improvement is sound, and
that they apply it to the development
of standard points, will denounce it,,
misrepresent it, and become as mad as
a sitting hen, because ii does not suit
their views, nor promote what they
consider their interests.
Butter for Britain.-Last year the
Omitted Kingdom imported butter to
the value OF over S5,000,000 per month.
For the first eight months Of the year
her exact expenditures for butter were
SAG ,043, 57212. OF this amount the
United States received the magnificent
total of less than l per cent, exactly
$685., 97053. When it is remembered
that we are within seven days of the
English market and have low rates and
refrigerator facilities in the steamers,
this is poor showing.

But we must admit that 1t is a hard
gate to push back. Millions of hin
hands have pushed at it without maxi
ing it swing on its hard hinges. 1t is
gate made out Of empty flour barrels,
and cold fire CRATES, and worn out appar-
ell, and cherries homes, and unmedicat-
ed sickness, and ghastliness, and horror.
1t is a gate of struggle. A gate Of
penury. A gate of want. A gate OF dis
appointment A red gate, or what
Isaiah would have called a gate of car
buncles.
Now, as I have already suggested. as
there are obstacles in all our paths, we
will be happier If We consent to have
our life struggle. do not know any
one to whom it is not a struggle. Louis
the Fourteenth thought he had every
thing fixed just right and fixed to stay,
and so he had the great clock at Bor-
deaux made. The hours of that clock
were struck by figures in bronze rep
resenting the kings of Europe, and at
certain time of day William the Third
of England and other kings were made
to come out and bow to Louis the
Fourteenth. But the clock got out of
order one day and just the opposite of
what was expected occurred, as the
clock struck a certain hour Louis the
Fourteenth was thrown to the feet of
William the Third. And so the clock
of destiny brings many surprises and
those go down that you expected 10
stand, and at the foot of disaster most
regal conditions tumble. In all the
styles of life there comes disappoint-
ment and struggle. God has for some
good reason arranged it so. If it is not
poverty, it is sickness. If it is not
sickness. it is persecution. If it is not
persecution, it is contest with some evil
appetite. If it is not some evil appe-
tite, it Is bereavement. If it Is not
one thing it is another. Do not get
soured and cross and think your case

A friend told me the other day of
shoemaker in a Russian city whose
bench was in the basement of a build
ing, and so far underground that he
could see only the feet of those who
went by on the sidewalk. Scented en-
his bench, he often looked I'D, and
there went the swift and skipping feet
of children, and then the slow and
uniform step of the aged, and then feet
with shoes old and worn out, and .hen
crippled feet, and he resolved he would
do a kindness to each one who needed
it. So when the foot with the old and
WORKOUT shoe was passing, he would
hail it and make for it a comfortable
covering, for he had the hammer, and
the pegs, and the shoe-lasts, and the
lapstone, and the leather to do 1t. And
when he saw the invalid foot pass he
would hail it and go out and offer
medicine and crutch and helpfulness.
And when he saw the aged foot ;jass
he hailed it and told the old man Of
heaven, where he would be young
again. When he saw the foot Of child
hood pass on the sidewalk he would
go out with good advice and q laugh
that seemed like an echo Of the childs
laugh. Well, time went on, and as the
shoemaker's wants were very few, he
worked but little for himself and most
of the time for others, and in the long
evenings, when he could not SO well
see the feet passing on the sidewalk
he would make shoes of all sizes and
stand them on shelf, ready for feet
that would pass in the daytime. OF
course, as the years went on, under
this process the shoemaker became
more and more Christian, until one day
he said to himself: Il wish among all
those feet passing up there on the side
walk / could see the feet Of the dear
Christ passing. Oh! if could only see
His feet go by, would know them, be-
cause they are SCARED feet" That
night the shoemaker dreamed, and in
the dream he saw the glorious Christ
and he said 30 Christ! have been
waiting for Thee to pass on the side
walk. and / have seen lame feet, and
wounded feet, and aged feet. and poor
feet, but in vain have / looked for Thy
SCARED feet" And Christ said TO the
shoemaker, Man! / did pass on the
sidewalk, and you did see My feet, and
you did come out and hail Me, and bless
Me, and help Me. You thought it was
the foot of poor old man that went
shutting by; that was My foot. You
thought it was the foot of soldier
that went limping past; that was My
foot. You thought that shoeless foot
was the foot Of beggar; that was My
foot The shoes, the clothing, The
medicines, the cheering words that you
gave to them, you gave to your Lord.
Tnasmuch as We have done it unto one
of the least OF these, We have done it
unto Me-" My hearers, with the
humble spirit of that Russian me-
chanic, let us go forth and help others.

A story Of the First Blillard Player
A letter has been discovered In the
British museum which gives the Or
igln Of this game. It was invented by
London pawnbroker whose name was
William Kew. Kew not only lent
money but he sold cloth for the latter
purpose and had a yard measure with
which he used to compute the amounts.
One day, TO distract himself. he took
the three round balls which are the
emblems OF his trade-they may still
be seen in front OF certain shops-and
placing them on his counter began to
hit them about with his yard measure.
He found II made pretty game. He
got kind OF skill In making one ball
glance OF the other and his friends who
saw him thus employed called the game
"Bill's yard" II was soon shortened
into billiard. But the yard was the
instrument with which the balls were
knocked about and the difficulty arose
what to call II. They called II after
the name OF the pawnbroker-a kew
