And TINT is life!

And that is life.

then Christianity is established. Jesus re-.
peatedly intimated Hepwould rise from the

the grave and staked' Ithe truthfulness of

its promises shall be fulfilled. Then Heaven
is fact Then our faitit is not in vain. Then

How much hangs on Esster. The Apostles

feather above the thighs and on the back at
the base of the neck. The head, back part
of neck and wing quills are dark, rich gray,
and the breast lighter shade. In shape
they are squarely built and compact in FORM
heads large; necks, medium in length and
carried upright; legs, short, the lower parts
of the birds nearly touching the ground.
Cost of Eggs
Experiments in feeding and in computing
the value of eggs show that, if no estimate is
made for labor, one dozen eggs can be pro-
duced at cost of about six cents for food,
or about half a cent per egg. If all of the
food allowed to hens was converted into
eggs, the profit on dozen eggs would be
large, even when prices are very low; but
much depends on whether the hens convert
the food into eggs, flesh, or support of the
bodies. It is q demonstrated fact, however,
that when dozen eggs are marketed they
carry from the farm but little of the nutri-
tious elements of the soil in proportion to
their value in market, and on that account
alone they are as profitable as anything that
can be produced On the farm.
Turkeys for Breeding.
The turkeys for breeding should be Sc
lected early. If you have one or two good
hens that have been successful, do not dis
card them for younger ones, unless the hens
are not thrifty. 1t is in securing the male
that the best judgment is required. He must
in no way be related to the hens, and should
not be over two years old. One gobbler is
sufficient for dozen hens. Do not hatch
young turkeys too soon. The flock that is
Yo0sting on tree limbs will be exposed to
severe cold, and their feet will at times be
frozen. 1t is best to give them shed with
high roof, containing a high roost, and in
duce them to remain therein by c0nining
them in the shed few days, or until they
become accustomed to the new location.
For Dislnfecting.
One of the very best known disinfectants
is cld-fashioned "copperas," Or sulphate of
iron, which can be had very cheap. A barrel
of copperas would probably weigh 300
pounds. and can be purchased at wholesale
price at one and one-half cents per pound.
And every family ought, especially in warm
weather, to have supply of it on hand. A
couple of handfuls of copperas thrown into
a bucket of water will soon dissolve, and it
can then be used freely, and is a valuable
disinfectant. The best plan is TO fill half
barrel OR keg with water, and suspend within
it moderate-sized basketful of copperas
In this way it dissolves more rapidly than
when thrown to the bottom of the wooden
vessel, and supply is always at hand ready
for use.
Their Origin.
Of the origin of the Slver-Laced Wyan-
d0tte, it is probable that the Dark Brahma
was one part of the original cross. The
other side was undoubtedly produced from
the Silver-Spangled Hamburg. In the for
mer, the color in the wings of the male is
evidence. The occasional cropping out of

train makes the run from Chicago to Den
ver Colo, distance Of ], ,025 miles i'll ex-
actly 1869 minutes, beating all records.
In view of the fact that no special prepara-
tion had been made for the trip, and that
in exactly "A minutes from the time the
train had been leased, the throttle of the
engine WAS thrown open and it pulled out
of the Union depot at Chicago, the record
made is almost phenomenal. It has sur
prised railroad men the world over. This
special train was chartered by an anxious
father at cost of $1,000 to reach the bed
side Of his dying son. 1t was race for life.
In spite of his efforts the father arrived a
few hours too late. It is not every father
who can afford the expense of chartering a
special train for purpose of that kind,
but the feelings Of parents heart are the
same, whether he be rich or poor. No one
else can fully realize the anxiety and
heartaches which attend the sickness of q
child. How wildly 1t is brought to light
in the following letter from Mr. p. o.
Hansen, of Center Point, S. Dak.: "Our
