IMPROVE BY SELECTING.
Never Sell the Best Poultry. Hut Keep
the Good Layers to BETTER
Your Flock.

All over this country farms and farm
ers have grown poorer through the
method OF selling off continually and
not bringing anything back to the land.
This same is true TO large extent with
all our live stock. poultry included. For
years the huckster has come along. and
each time he passes he selects the very
best of all your poultry To buy for mar
ket. BY the time he has bought all you
have TO sell. you will have left for your
own use the culls of all you grow. This
continues till We hear you say: The
huckster or commission man is too par
icular TO buy our stock. when the facts
are there is nothing left but weeds.
Under this way of doing the farm
goes TO weeds all the stock goes to
weeds. and the owner and his family
into rags. To avoid all this. never sell
the best OF anything unless there IL
more OF it than you need With fowls
be sure to select all the best for your
own breeding and for egg producing. and
sell those you do not want Never sell
the best. keep them TO breed from. The
best is none too good for this. BY thus
selecting, year after year. we shall soon
have flock the poorest OF which will
excel the best of former years.-The

Otter hunting has been revived In
England and there are now something
like n packs Of otter hounds in the

Hunting the otter in the spring after
the frost Is out of the ground is rare

citing and dangerous than fox hunting.

The Bible and the Empire State
EXPRESS.

A Bible student has recently been fgur-
ing on how long it would have taken the
people to make the journey from Dan TO
Beersheba II they could have had the
State Express. He figured that the train
would have made this lourney in less than
three hours. although from a reading OF the
account in the Bible one would think il was a
long journey, and il was for those days with
their limited means OF transportation.
Ezekiel, the Chaldean prophet, had in his
minds eye something like the Empire State

WANTS HEAD FOR CHURCH.

EpAscODaIian OrGan Declares That
Chief Executive In Needed.
In the current issue of the Church
man, the leading Episcopal church pa
per, published in New York city
there appears an editorial article de-
manding a chief executive for the Ep1s
copal church. The article declares that
q chief executive Is as necessary for q
church as for nation, and II calls at.
tent1on to the fact that the Roman
Catholic church has a personal head,
rapidly growing more representative In
character, to the undeniabie benefit Of
the Catholic cause. The article urges
that Christendom should be unified and
could have a head mot only without
damage to itself, but to its incalcula-
BILE help"
The general impression caused By the
article, says the New York Tribune, Is
that the ChurcHnan IL urging the ap-
pointment Of an archbishop in the
Episcopal church In this country While
the editorial would seem strongly to
bear out the impression. nothing spe-
ciieally referring to the appointment
Of such Mgnitary is contained there
in.
The Episcopal church In this country
now has no real executive head. The
Oldest bishop 10 known a. the presid-
Ing bishop and IL chairman Of the
house of bishops, but he really has no
specific executive or Administrative
functions. Each bishop, subject to the
constitution and canons Of the church,
is supreme in his own diocese, and,
though his conduct may be reviewed
and he may be tried on charges by the
house Of bishops, he is practically his
own master.
