Runs a Crow Incubator

Farmer Billings, of Brookdale, Pa,
has taken a contract to furnish a New
York millinery manufacturer with
crows heads at 25 cents apiece. 1t
costs something to get a dead crow.
Alive it is an elusive bird and ammu-
milton is expensive, but Billings is an
enterprising Spectator. He has set I'D
a chicken incubator in which is placed,
as fast as laid, the eggs of about 100
hen crows that have been trapped and
confined with perhaps a dozen cock
crows. Within Is days the little crea-
lures are Matched and a fortnight later
they are ready to be beheaded. 1t is
understood that the head of a crow
chick is worth just as much as an
adult Of the same species. At the uni
form rate of foul for a dollar. dead.

has the only crow hatchery in the

A UsEs FOR TIE LEAVES.
They Should Be Raked Up and Used
in the; Hen House to Keep
TT Warm.

One OF the best methods of ma ling the
poultry-house warm in winte1s at q
small cost is to &eep the floor well lit
tered. When the floor of a poultry
house is covered to the depth of from
two to six inches with litter-$uch as
dirt, cut straw, refuse hay or leaves
there is not only p protection agains'
loss of heat and the prevention of colo
currents from below, but the drafts Of
air which flow across the floor are pre-
vented. The additional comfort of the
poultry-house by the..use of such litter
will be appreciated by the hens, They
will be more active, and will also keel
busily employed in working in the litter
Experienced poultrymen give more at
tention to keeping the floor Of the poul-
try-house clean than they do ITO the
food, as no amount of food will enable
the hens to lay If they are not keptiwarn
and busy, while if warm tn y will some
times lay even if the food is-only of the
ordinary kind. Litter is cheap, and
there is no reason for neglecting it's use
A strawcutter should be kept. not only
to cut straw for litter, but also to- cut
clover for the fowls. If the straw lis Gu,
in lengths of about six inches it lis all
that is required, but leaves are superior
to any other material.-Farm and Fire.

o slLACE MILK.
Prejudice Against Product of Silage.
Fed Cows Is Declared to Be
Unjustifable.

A writer in Health Culture disposes
OF the question of feeding dairy COW
as follows:
"She should be kept in a very clean
stable and be well groomed; have
plenty of light, fresh air all the time,
eXercise-at the risk of less produc-
tion-pure water and pure food, free
from brewers waste, distillery refuse,
and alcoholic ensilage. These fer
mented foods permeate her flesh and
give an .odor and taste to her prod
ucts, and the odors arising from these
foods poison the atmosphere she
breathes-in fact she is an inebriate.
and cannot produce normal milk on
such abnormal food. So important is
this matter that the ~condensing fac
tories refuse to use milk from COWS
fed upon these fermented foods, as it
will not keep when condensed and
canned. Such milk sours more quick
ly and is not fit for infants, indeed, it
makes them sick, and dairymen will
not feed their own children with it.
and will furnish milks for infants il
requested"
1t is true, says Prairie Farmer, that
some misguided officials of certain
milk condensing factories have OBJ
jected to receiving milk from ows fed
upon ensilage, but this prejudice has
been demonstrated to be entirely
without foundation. There are other
condensing factories that use ensil-
age-made milk right along and have
no trouble with it.
A few years ago we ran across a
cheese factory in southern Wisconsin
that had refused to receive milk dur
ing the summer from a given herd.
because the COWS had been fed ensil-
age the winter before. This simply
illustrates the ridiculous extremes tc
which such things are often carried.
The cheese factory had experienced
some difficulty in the manufacture OF
it's cheese and, not being able to dis
cover the cause, had loaded the blame
on to the silage, although none haC
been fed for weeks.
oucn attempts as the ABOVE, Oh tne
part of ignorant persons. to discreGit
with consumers the milk made from
ensilage, is a great injustice to the
producer, as it tends to debar him
from the use of one of the best forms
of feed for milk production. 1t has
been amply demonstrated that gooC
ensilage, properly fed, imparts no in
furious effect to the milk. Silage is
one of the most healthful foods that
car be used during the winter, wher
otherwise the COW would be on dry
feed, and there is no question but that
the most healthy COW will give the
most healthful milk.

Suggestions for the Construction Of
an Underground House Where
Frost Cannot Reach.

Whatever may be its disadvantages,
the farm cellar is about the only place
on the farm where a temperature above
freezing can be maintained throughout
the winter, and as the pit cannot or at
least should not be disturbed during
the winter, we may expect the cellar to
be the chief storing place for apples for

ship in need, for the men going down
to death in the black waters. They need
the vision of the lost ship and the per-
ishing souls to make them forget ev-

their errand of mercy.
ND the Christian needs the vision of
n a world perishing in its sin to be
aroused to the work OF rescue. He needs
to turn his eyes from the direction OF
the shore where all is safe and secure,
and look out upon the enguling waters
of sin, he needs to see the shipwrecked
souls tossing helplessly about and going
down to death; he needs to behold the
lowering clouds of Gods judgments
upon sin. to feel the fierce blasts of His
wrath against all ungodliness. All, how
complacently we view life. the world and
the men and women in the world! We
have the narrow, limited human vision
of things. We blind the eye and steel
the heart against the true vision which
God gives us in His Word. God says:
"a world dead in trespasses and sins"
We say: "A world SO alive, and pro-
gressive, and good" God says: There
is none that doeth good, no not one"
"All have sinned and come short of the
glory of God" We say: What an ex-
cellent record man has written. How
proud God ought to be of him." We view
human life with complacency and salts

Quaintances, friends, loved ones, and

all of life to live or death to Gle. We
forget and are Indifferent while the
whole world is a vast graveyard, with
perishing, lost souls masquerading in
the bright, attractive covering OF the
human life. Oh, for the vision that will
help us to see as God sees: A lost world
instead of the attractive world in which
so much of our thought and desire n
ambition are centered! A sin-rulned

which man can cunningly devise. But we

THE burden for souls rested SO
| heavily upon Paul's heart that he
had reached the superiative degree of
Christly love. He felt as though he
would gladly surrender . his hope in
Christ if thereby his brethren might
be saved. Death that there may be
life. 1t is the order established by
God. Except a corr of wheat fall
into the ground, it abideth alone, but
if it die it bringeth forth much fruit"
This was the expression of Christ's
love for the world. A dying that there
might be life, a sacrifice that there
might be a cleansing from sin. 1t is
the law which must govern the Chris
tan life if it is to be fruitful for the
Master. The burden for souls must
lead down into the grave of a dead self.
We must be wiling, yea anxious. to
die in order that out of the grave of a
dead self may spring the fruitful
branch. Have you loved so as to go
out and seek? Have you loved and
then eagerly and gladly told the story?
You must love yet more. The burden
for souls must rest upon you so heavi-
ly that you will be willing to have self
die with all it's desires and ambitions
and have only Gods perfect will ruling
in the life. Such conservation of self
will bring new power into the life,
and result in blessed fruitage of souls
for the Master. God grant that the

the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
may bring its burden Tor souls that
shall have its fruition in Christlike
love, which is eager to seek, bold to
tell and willing to die, that souls may
