Prepare for Winter Eggs.

eff we do not look ahead for these
things now, we're apt to get left at
the time when eggs are most needful."
says a writer in the Orange County
Farmer. 81 shall not ask you to do
impossibilities, but tell you how to do
these things right at home without any
extra expense. Take a good cider-bar-
rel, remove the head without breaking
it all to pieces so that you can use 1t
to put back again, then pack your bar
rel down tight with the second crop
clover hay, the younger and tender the
better. When 1 say pack it down tight
I mean it must be rammed and
damned as though you had a grudge
against 1t. When your barrel is full
put on your lid and on top Of the lid
place a stone, a good-siZed one that
takes two men to lift. You can prepare
as many barrels as you think you will
need, but I'll warrant before the next
spring comes around you'll wish you'd
had dozen. Your barrel will cost you
about a dollar and it will be well ex-
pended.
"To use it, take your barrel apart,
leaving the cheese of clover standing
in dry places, and when you want to
use it take long, sharp knife and cut
ID off in as short lengths as you can.
Feed it to your hens for a MONDAY
meal, emitting grain. 1t isn't neces-
sary to go into details and tell why all
this trouble is taken; suffice to say that
clover is a winter egg food"

POULTRY MATTERS.
Breeds That Are Fashionable and
Breeds That Pay.

Sometimes fashion determines the
profitable success of a breed of fowls
fully as much as any inherent qualities
OF the birds. 1t does not pay to force
particular breed on the market. If a
breed is not in demand, it is better to
let 1t alone, and raise q breed that is
fashionable. In this case the public
makes its selection and the poultryman
has nothing to do but follow. 1t is
true that the public often makes mis-
take, and estimates a particular breed
far above it's merits. But here again
the question is one that does not con-
Germ the breeder. Raise what the pub
lie demands and you will be more apt
to make money than by folio wing your
own inclinations. Many old breeders
can remember when the Black Spanish
fowls were very popular, and the breed
er Of Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte
could hardly find a purchaser for his
stock. Then the American Dominiques
came into fashion, and the rage was all
for this breed. But like the first these
birds had their day, and they have
passed out of popular notice, and the
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and Min
orcas are in demand. These are the
profitable breeds to-day. They have
great merits, too, independent of any
fashion, and the breeders would hate
to see them go out of vogue unless
something better was developed.
There is more money made to-day in
raising broiIers or roasters for market
than anything else, and breeds that
make the best broilers and lay the
maximum number of eggs are certainly
worthy Of our attentions. This brings
one to the question whether we VIII
ever be able to develop new breeds, or
improve the present ones so that they
will excel anything in existence to day.
There are those who think we have de-
veloped the hen as far as possible as a
laying machine. and that we will never
be able to go beyond our present at
tainments. By crossing and high. ICED
ing and good care we will undoubtedly
make progress never yet dreamed Of.
Otherwise we would have to assume
that we have attained to perfection,
which will never happen Michigan

convention has been very enjoyable
one, and has been marked with the ut
most harmony and good feeling.
The program of yesterday afternoon
was opened by song service led by
f. E. R. Miller, and devotional ser.
vice led by John Oliver. The conven-
ton was called to order at 2:2O p. m. by
Vice President Jeff III Irish.
The report of the committee on
Bible publication and Sunday school
work was presented by Chairman M.
A. Summers. An address on the sub
ject was given by Rev. Il. A. Cleve-
land.
Mr.. Dickinson, of the Standard,
spoke in behalf of the UNCONVENTIONAL
paper.
E. M, Hullett presented the report of
the committee on summer assembly,
and it created more discussion than
anything that has came before the con.
vention. An assembly was held at
Lake Minnetonka last summer as an
experiment, and proved very success
full. The financial report shows bal
ance on hand of $56SS, although the
expenditures had been limited by the
convention to $500 This was due to
the fact that the speakers offered their
services free, to help out the assembly.
The location secured was on Robin
SON, bay on account of its beauty and
accessibility. The meetings lasted
eighteen days, and the number of PEG.
pie registered on the grounds was 544,
with fully 700 visitors. Sixteen states
and over sixty Baptist churches were
represented, one half coming from the
twin cities. The people at the as
sembly had unanimously adopted a
resolution asking that steps be taken
by the state convention looking to-
ward securing permanent 'ocation and
establishing the assembly on per-
manent basis. This resolution was
read, and the committee went on to
say that it had received propositions
from various parties offering tracts of
land of from ten to thirty acres and
ranging in price from 500 to 81, 900
per acre. The committee thought that
the assembly should have fifteen acres
on Lake Minnetonka, as that lake is
easily accessible from all points of the
state. The assembly bids fair to be.
come permanent institution and
should build for the future If all of
the land is not needed some of it can
be sold to Baptists who are anxious to
erect private cottages there.
The committee recommended that a
committee of nine be appointed by the
president of the state convention,
which shall have in charge all the de-
tails of arrangement for the assembly
next year, and recommended that they
be authorized to purchase permanent
site for Baptist summer assembly at a
price not to exceed $4,000, provided
that funds be secured so that no debt
be contracted above that which re-
ceives the sanction of the state conven-
ton board.
The discussion was led by F. R.
Leach followed by eighteen others, and
was very favorable to the project.
Miss Lou E. La Tourette, of Chicago,
spoke in the interests of the Baptist
union.
