NEED ROOF GARDENS
Evangelist Moody Suggests Them
for New York Churches.
Believes They Would BE Means oi
Saving Sou1s-Would Have Them
aa Attractive as Theafer
Roof Gardens.

1T is no use talking" said Evangelist
Dwight L. Moody, but things have got
to be reyolutionized in New York be-
fore We can reach the masses. Some
people may be surprised, and even scan
1alized, but unhesitatingly state that
every church in New York should have
roof garden" Mr.. Moody, who has
been doing evangeistic work in New
York during the last two days, went to
Brooklyn and preached there Sunday
in the Church of the Pilgrims.
81 am convinced he said, that We
must do some hard work in New York
and other great cities during the sum-
mer months. The talk about every
body going out of town during the hot
weather is all bosh. Just because you
see a few brown stone mansions in the
neighborhood of Fifth avenue boarded
up in the summer, you must not imag-
inc that New York leaves New York
and goes into the country.
Il say that the summer is the best
time to reach the people. You do not
then have TO go into the house TO do it.
You can find them outside, whole fam
lies sitting on the stoops. In the win
ter you have to go inside TO rout them
out.
Every church in New York should
have roof garden. The thing is per
fectly practicable, and there is no rea-
son in the world why we should not
convert as many sinners in roof gar
den as in a church.
Il would make the church roof gar
dens as attractive as the theater roof
gardens. The services would be the
same as in the stuffy churches, and
there should be plenty of good singing
and good preaching.
Sell lemonade Why, certainly. l
would sell all kinds Of temperance
drinks
Over in Liverpool we have hundreds
OF little coffee places where man can
GO and treat his friend. There is no
reason why we should not do the same
thing here. and do it in proper and we'll

WATER BARREL SLED.

such as is shown in the accompanying
illustration. all lifting is avoided The
sled is about four feet wide and the
runners about five long. The cross
pieces are of two-inch boards and should
be mortised into the runners to give
strength. To keep the barrel from
sliding of the sled when passing over
uneven ground, blocks cut from a 2x4
are hailed down to the cross pieces of
the sled in such way that they will
fit snugly about the bottom of the bar
rel. The longer blocks should be hewn
out. With these blocks there is little
danger 6f the barrel upsetting. This
sled being small and light is useful

Cause of Leg Weakness.

Now that the young roosters are run
ming at large they viii grow rapidly if
properly fed, but should the weather
become damp they may suddenly show
weakness in the legs. If they eat and
seem well otherwise they will soon
come in proper condition. as the weak
ness is caused by the birds growing in
height rather than in breadth, the legs
seeming to grow longer. Such birds
show the effects more on a sudden
change of the weather than at any other
time, as if rheumatic. Keep them in a
dry place, feed plenty. of bonemeal,
and they will not only easily get over
it. but will eventually be the largest
ones in the fiock.-Farm and Fireside.

In wheat-growing localities it is al
ways noticed that young chickens
around the barns are always-unusually
thrifty during the wheat harvest. They
pick up the scattered wheat grains and
soon get to the stage where they will
acquire a full suit of feathers. There
is no better material either TO make
growth ~ feathers +lan wheat IN the

must be cracked, but they soon become
able TO swallow whole wheat grains,
which is a better whole feed for fowls
than anything else.
