AS to feed l give corn, oats,
and wheat for evening meal, and
a bran mash containing cooked
Irish potatoes or any scraps of
vegetables that l may have. l
use poultry food in mash in
spring.
In caring for young fowls the
main points to be considered are
to keep them warm, and not to
overfeed. Young chicks are
easily chilled and when thorough
ly chilled, / do not believe they
ever fully recover. Bowel trou-
BILE is the result of either being
chilled, overlooking or from lack
of grit.
For the first week after
hatched, l feed corn bread
baked in pones or cakes. l cut
the top crust off, and put the
cake down and let them pick it,
as they do not get too much that
way, and are kept busy. After
the first week or ten days, feed
cracked wheat and corn, and as
soon as possible begin feeding
whole wheat. Wheat and pin
head oats should be the princi-
pie feed Of Young fowls. I give
plenty of grit, breaking up bits
of crockery or limestone rock
Keep your houses clean, your
fowls free of lice and give plenty
of grit, and you will not have
much need for poultry remedies

Lesson Thoughts.
Nothing else could do so much to
increase the material prosperity of
the world as the universal acknowl-
edgement of the kingdom of God.
Missions have moved more rapidly
at some times than others. but they
have always advanced; they have new
er gone backward.
Missions. to be sure. have the world
against them. but all heaven is for
them.
Selections.
Where is your heather brother? From
his grave
Near thy own gates, or meath a for
eign sky
From the thronged depths of oceans
murmul-ng wave
His answering blood reproachfully
doth cry.
Blood of the soul. Can all earth's
fountains make
Thy dark stain disappear? Stewards
of God. awake!
Success is as certain as the prom
ise of a faithful God can make it,
said Judson. after tolling for years
without visible fruit of his labor
Men are more ready TO go than ever
before. When Hobson called for n
few TO accompany him on his perilous
expedition, the entire ships company
stepped forward So it is when
Christ summons to Il dangerous SER
vice.
Missionary success Is the flame of
Christian love catching" in other
lives. II Is the spirit of self-sacrifice
seizing upon pocketbooks. 1t Is cap
ture of intelligence with the needs of
the world. 1t Is patient waiting, sure
Of harvest in Gods best time. II is
Willingness to 90 wherever God wants,
suffer whatever God permits, fail as
long as God finds failure necessary
for final triumph. 1t Is nvincible
courage, uncOnquerable truss, un-
quenchable ardor. And II is victory
ut the end whole round world for
Jesus.
All of Gods processes are quiet,
majestic, serene. and those that ex-
pect missions TO go with u rush" are
expecting God TO change his methods.

A problem that has engaged the at
tention OF the legislative bodies OF
most American cities is what to do
with the garbage--how to get rid OF
1t at the least expense to the public.
The city Of Washington so disposes
OF its garbage that profit is got out
OF It, while most other American cit
ies--being less carefully governed
have to pay largely for its removal.
There is contract with company
which collects the garbage and dis
poses OF II. The garbage is kept sep
arate from ashes and other refuse. In
iron tanks 1t is taken by rail thirty
miles down the Potomac to the reduc-
tion works. Here 1t Is sorted. Tin
cans. bottles, etc, are removed. The
rest is placed in a close iron vessel
and subjected TO steam pressure, after
which it is pumped into tanks and al
lowed to settle. Oils and fats rise to
the surface and, being skinned on
are sold to soapmakers. Under pres
sure more oil is obtained. to go the
same way. The caked garbage, after
pressure. is pulverized and sold fol
fertilizer, Incidental profits aris'
from the sale OF hides Of horses ant
other animals and the manipulation o.
their carcasses along with the gar
bage. The horse hides make good rus
set leather. A good monthly profit Il
said to be realized
