TO the soul Of man that II he 5oes not

power Of the Son OF God Is not felt. If
His life is not flowing through the
human life that that life is dead and
withered as far as the eternal and en-

That flower is the glory OF the plant,
and God has declared that He has
created man for His glory. But how
could the lily apart from the plant re-
veal the glory of that plant. and how
can man apart from God and out OF
fellowship with God manifest and re-

came into the world to reveal God to
men. TO manifest forth His glory. and
lie accomplished His mission only as
He faithfully and persistently kept His
place in the Fathers will. He bore
the beautiful fruitage OF God-like
character. And tho only way for man
to grow the fruits of Cnrist-like

Handling Breeding Ducks,

The breeding stock, to begin with,
should be a sturdy lot brakes should
stand up well-be lofty fellows. with
deep keel Ducks should be broad and
deep, rather than long, but have length
of body if you can without detracting
from other qualities When I want
them to begin laying / give extra grain
rations of corn and wheat with their
everyday feed Of cooked potatoes. made
stiff with bran and shorts and a little
salt added For a change raw carrots
and cabbage are excellent.
Always have water and grit in a Ger
tain place easy for them to get at.
Ducks, if allowed, viii do a great deal
of forag ing if they are sure of a drink
when in need of it. In my ten years
experience with ducks I find that let
ting them have access to a pond of wa

Pigeons in state of nature build a
rough nest of twigs and coarse grass
es. In confinement they are unable to
get such material, but as a substitute
tobacco stems can be used, which not
only satisfy the natural desire to
build, but are a safeguard against YER
min, says a correspondent of Poultry
Advocate. A few of these placed in
one corner of the breeding room occa-
sionally will be quickly appropriated.
Some breeders do not believe in coarse
nesting material and in its place use
coarse pine shavings, renewing them
as often as they become foul. But this
does not satisfy the natural desire that
the pigeons have to build nest, and
so believe that they should be graft
fed in this natural instinct, although l
also think layer of coarse pine saw
dust for foundation where nest pans
are not used is a good thing. 1t pre-
vents the excrement from sticking to
the floor Of the apartment, is proven
tive of lice and is easily renewed as
soon as the young birds are taken
away

The origin of the peculiar woman's
right of leap year is said to date back
to the fifth century. st. Bridget, so the
story goes, was troubled because the
women under her charge insisted on
their right of proposing to the men
Accordingly she went to ST. Patrick
and begged him to settle the matter by
fixing certain seasons in which women
might take the initiative. ST Patrick
promised them every seventh year, but
then. pleased by the persuasive elo-
quence of st. Bridget, he said they
should have the longest year in the
calendar, and that was every fourth
year. when February had an extra day

AN ELEPHANT TRAIT.
The Animal While Busy Will Never
Iniure a Person.

AN elephant never Injuries a person
when it is. busy" says an animal train
er with big circus. 1T may sound
strange, but there is not a case on rec
ord Of one getting ugly when it was
performing or working. The reason,
think, is that the elephant is an animal
of one idea-that is, it can think of
only one thing at a time.
when you put an elephant at work
it gives its whole attention to its task.
Great power of concentration? No,
just inability to think of two things at
once. When it gets busy it takes a lot
to distract its attention, and it never
stops to think about a private griey-
ance. If we start d horse or a dog do
ing trick we can't leave it for min
ute or it will loaf or stop work alto
gether, but it is different with an ele-
plant. Once get it started, either alone
or with others, and it will go through
with its turn without another word.
1t is absorbed in its work.
'.That same trait, | take it, is what
makes an elephant such vicious ami
NAL when it gets ugly It can think of
nothing but what has made it angry,
and it will not stop until it has torn
something to pieces. Oh, yes, an ele-
plant can carry a grudge. 1t never for
gets an injury, and it waits its chance
to get even, but when it is busy it for
gets the tricks that have been played
on it. 1t is only when it has nothing
to do that it gets to brooding over it's
troubles. Human, Ell? Well, have
known folk with that sort of DISPOSE

THE USE or INcuBATORs.
The Testimony of q Man VINO Has
Learned From Actual Experiences.

The Testimony of Man who Has
Learned From Actual Experience.
The incubator has several points Of
superiority over the hen, chief Of which
is being able to set it whenever the OPP
orator wishes to. The commercial
poultry keeper who raises chickens
ard ducks by the hundreds or thou
sands could no more do without an in
cubator than he could without eggs.
In addition to being able to control
the period of Matching, the incubator
saves much labor, for it is much less
/ work to look after one machine hold
/ ing $50 eggs than twenty hens cover
ing the same number of eggs. Then,
too, the chicks from the incubator
start life without any companions in
the way of lice, and if it is their mis-
fortune to be attacked later they have
passed the most critical period of their
lives and are better able to withstand
the attack.
But an incubator will not run itself,
turn the eggs nor keep up the heat
without attention. 1t needs to be set
level in a room where a fairly even
temperature may be maintained
throughout the twenty-four hours of
day, where it is free from drafts, where
the sun does not shine directly on it and
also where there is good air. These
conditions are generally best obtained
in house cellar, but many cellars are
too damp and badly ventilated, and in
that case an upper room, even a gar
ret, is better.
/ have had good success in running
an incubator in a north room on the
first floor of the house, says a CORE
spondent Of American Agriculturist
The room was light, airy and well ven
tilated. The temperature was fairly
even, as it did not get the sun at any
| time during the day, and altogether it
| proved an almost ideal place in which
to run an incubator. The machine was
| started in March, and three matches
were run off, 1870 eggs being put in
tenth day and again between the fif-
| teenth and eighteenth and all infertile
ones removed and those in which the
germ had died The three matches
turned out 240 chicks, or CO per cent
of the eggs put in.
! The lamp was filed and trimmed at
night, for / had more time to do it
than in the morning, and the eggs
were set out to cool while doing this.
They were left out only a few minutes,
then turned and put back. In the
morning the eggs were cooled from ten
to thirty minutes, starting With ten
minutes on the third day and gradual
| ly increasing the time as the hatch
progressed After cooling, the eggs
were turned before being replaced in
the incubator.
The first hatch had come off before
I had hen that wanted to sit. Had
I depended on hens to do the Matching.
the first chicks would not have come
out before May. and by the time they
were fit for broilers the price would
be down to about 20 cents
1 set some hens, partly because
wanted some more chicks and partly
to test them with the incubator Five
hens set with seventy three eggs
brought off forty-fve chicks, or 60 per
cent The incubator did exactly the
same, but brought out 1870 chicks be-
fore the first hen Matched and 240 be-
fore the last one came off.

OYSTER FARMS.
The Natural and Artificial Beds In
Eastern Virginia.

inc NAIuEAA tAA0 AEAAMeAAE 0GO6 Az
Eastern Virginia.
In eastern Virginia there are several
thousand acres Of oyster farms where
oysters are raised by artificial methods
ON artificial beds. The natural oyster
bed is where the oyster breeds and
natures naturally There are thou
sands of acres of such beds in the
Chesapeake bay system of salt water.
In such beds the oysters breed by the
millions, and as they are too close to-
gether there they cannot all reach a
satisfactory growth. If taken when
small from these natural beds and
streWn along ON the bottoms where
there are no oysters naturally, at the
rate of 600 to 1000 bushels per acre,
such young oysters mature and ripen
off for the market, some in one and
the rest in two years.
There is a profit in such work when
intelligently managed of % to 1872 per
cent Probably more than 100000 acres
Of artificial oyster beds are made to
grow an oyster crop in addition to the
acreage embraced in the natural beds.
The area of artificial beds is increas-
ing rapidly each year.
One singular feature about the oys-
ter is this: They all look exactly alike,
there being no difference between the
male and the female externally or in
ternally. In fact, the art of man is not
sufficient to distinguish one sex from
another. Another unique feature is
this: The male oyster lays" as many
eggs as the female s.equal rights we
perceive. The eggs Of the male are
called milt, and the eggs of the fe-
male are called spawn. An ordinary
full grown oyster is supposed to lay a
million eggs year. In spawning sea-
son the water is full of these eggs,
and when the milt and the spawn
come in contact and the wafer is at the
right temperature life is impaired to
the microscopic egg, and it drops to
the bottom, where, if it succeeds in
grasping hold of something, such as
another oyster or shell or rock or any
thing to hang on to, the tiny creature
begins to form its shell and in few
weeks becomes visible to the eye

With respect to the origin of the ia

is a suggestion that it is derived from
the Norwegian .Saa laenge,D a com
