HIS LAST SERMON.
Rev. Calvin Stebbins Closes His
Long Passionate.
A Small Audience Hears His Farewell Ad-
dress at the Church of the Unity.

Rev. Calvin stebbins preached his last
sermon as pastor Of the Church Of the
Unity, Sunday morning. The congre-
cation to which he preached was not
large, partly because Of natural re-
luctance on the part of many of his old
parishioners to be present at what could
only have been painful and sad occa-
sion; partly, perhaps, on account of the
stormy day.
The sermon was in no sense a fare
well sermon, 1t was to all intents and
purposes the very sermon that II years
before, Rev, Mr.. Stebbins had preached
the first day he occupied the pulpit with

you can arrange to treat it literally

it in doing SO.
While the cabbages are growing, il
they do not seem to head out properly,
loosen the roots little by pulling to

It is about this season that the
farmer who has good garden begins
to greatly enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Fresh vegetables from the home gar
den, instead of the too often long con-
tinued salt meat diet, means better
health, and good health adds more to
l1fe's enjoyment than anything else.

POULTRY NOTES FOR OCTOBER

This is the month to prepare for
winter. It is not safe to defer longer
the necessary repairs; therefore, ex-
anime carefully your roots and Win
doWs and make them all weather tight.
Ii you have not already done so,
whitewash your coops thoroughly,
adding an ounce of carbolic acid to
each pailtul of wash.
Kerosene your roosts, upper and
under side.
Gather road dust and fill dust
boxes but be sure it is very dry. Also
store UP for winter use some dry
sand
AS hens are moulting, cleaning
coops may be put off until later.
If your early matched pullets are
natured enough to lay, coop them
as you intend them to remain for the
winter, as it is not safe to move them

And moor herself right in my room,

Ring out the lovers moon!
Ring in the little worsted socks!

Ring out the muse! ring in the nurse!

Feeding Poultry.

Milk, if the vessels or troughs con-
tanning it are kept sweet and cleanly,
may with advantage be kept where
fowls can get to it at any time. Other
kinds Of food should be given ait regu-
lar times and only in the quantities
that will be then consumed, says an
exchange. 1t is simply Wasteful to
throw out to them a large quantity OF
food in order that they have it within
reach all through the day. Much of
it will be scattered about, lost, or so
filthy that your fowls ought not to eat
it. Besides this, all poultry require a
certain amount of exercise in order to
be healthy, and this exercise they will
not take unless driven by appetite to
hunt for part of their food. And it is
probable that needed quantities of food
obtained by so hunting aid in the
assimilation of the ordinary feed given
to them. The careless feeding of
unnecessary quantities at a time pre-
vents hens from laying as they would
if not overfed, and those intended for
the table or market, are fattened best
by giving to them only so much as
they will clean up at each meal.-Ex.

Sunfower Seed Food.


Sunfowers are planted and culti-
vated much as any field crop, particu-
larly corn. They thrive best in a
rich, loamy soil, but will grow well on
any good farm land. Plant in spring
about corn planting time and keep the
ground free from weeds. The
matured seed makes excellent feed
for fowls ard has given good results
when ground as a feed for other kinds
of stock. 1t is very rich and must
be fed in limited quantities much the
same aus oil-meal. Up to date there
is very little exact information avail
able concerning the value OF sun
flower seed ais a stock food. Expert
ment stations in the United States
have not taken it up and about the
only data available is the experience
of isolated growers throughout the
corn belt. The tests made by these
men have given good satisfaction and
it is to be hoped that the matter will
be more thoroughly investigated. Il
would seem advisable for every farmer
to plant a small amount and expert
ment for himself-Orange Judd Far

Keening Hillsides in Sod.

On tillable, sidehill land there is
Usually heavy loss every time the
land is newly plowed, as the rain of
even a moderate shower is not absorb
ed as fast as it falls, but by it's own
gravity rushes down the hillside car
rying with it much of the surface soil,
and, if the soil be soft, often deep gut
tiers are formed. If such slopes were
we'll seeded to timothy or clover, but
klittle injury would result, if proper
1y managed a timothy sod may be kept
in good condition ON sidehill pasture
land for many years. Usually the soil
in such places is naturally thin, hence
previous to blowing apply fertilizer in
some form, preferably we'll rotted barn
yard manure. This will keep the
timothy in good health for many
years. Should any portion becomlq
thin, let the whole grow to a height
of six or eight inches. when either
commercial fertilizers or well rotted
manure can be applied to- the thin por-
TONS Thus guarded, even heavy
rains will not carry much fertility
away, but cause it to lodge against and
become absorbed by the growing
plants. Hillsides should never be pas
tured very closely.-Exchange.
I am somewhat surprised that farm
ers are so slow to find out the value of
sweet corn over field corn for feeding
purposes. A few years ago somC
farmers made a test of it's fattening
properties and concluded one acre of
sweet corn, fed when green, was worth
two acres of field corn. 1t is the
sweetness of stalk and ear that makes
the difference. Even when it gets ripe,
the fodder is far superior to field corn,
especially for milk COWS. The ripe
corn mixed with one fifth sunfower
seed will make your hens lay all
through the winter, providing you
have warm shelter for them.-J. H.

Sailing Hides.

Hides cam be shipped green in the
winter season, when frozen, without
salting, but when warm weather comes
it is necessary that green hides be
sailed promptly or they will spoil. To
cure a hide properly for shipment it
is necessary first to trim it by cutting
off what does not belong to the hide
such as the horns, tail, bones and
sinews, and then spread the hide on
the floor and sprinkle it evenly and
freely with salt on flesh side. In
this way pile one hide on the other,
flesh side up, head to head and tail
to tail. 1t will take a week Or more
to cure hides thoroughly. When they
have laid a sufficient time in the salt
they will then do to ship, after hav-
ing had the surplus salt shaken off. A
heavy hide will require about pail
OF salt, with a smaller quantity for
smaller skins or calf skins. Greer
hides shrink in sailing from 10 to 15
per cent. and consequently sailed or
cured hides are worth from one to two
cents more than green.-Wisconsin
