The Gladwin Record gives a splen-
did view of what it regards as prob
ably the last big log rollway on
Cedar River. The long stretch OF
logs and handsome river scene make
magnificent spectacle, yet 1t can
not be contemplated without a feel
ing OF sadness in the breast of every
old lumberman who will behold in il
the passing of what once seemed a
serried and unconquerable army of
forest giants, capable OF holding out,
with petty losses, for all time,
against civilization and the lumber
barons. A scene in camp, with old
Angus Macdonald and his husky OK
team at the front, affords an inter-
esting study. Grizzled Mack, now
verging on seventy, but still as hale
and hardy as an old buck, has spent
lifty-two winters In the lumber
woods, and 1t would not be strange
II with his love for the forest 1t will
be his dying request to be allowed to
stand in the range of the last lumber
monarch to be felled on the Cedar
River, and in its crash meet a glor-
lous death beneath its sturdy trunk;

ged "Old Mack" worth while living

II is quite the thing nowadays TO
keep dry feed before chickens all the
while. Perhaps one of the best ar
guments in its favor is the opportu.
nifty it offers for the weaker or more
timid members of the flock to get
their share. Usually the dry feed"
is composed of the smaller grains,
but ground feed is excellent served
in this way, so there is a reasonable
variety. A Pennsylvania man gives
a heap of advice in the following par
agraph;
I'VE have tried all the different
methods of feeding and have found
the most successful is the dry feed
ing. We don't feed the chicks for
from thirty-six to forty-eight hours
after Matching, and then feed the
dry chick feed, many different grains
being mixed together. We feed this
the first four weeks steadily. We
also keep a box of beef scraps be-
fore them at all times after the
fifth day. We do not give them
water until the third day. BY fol-
lowing the above we can almost see
our chicks grow. Would also say
that we keep the chick feed before
our chicks at all times the first few
days, so they can eat as often and as
much as they want. BY this way we
find the inactive chicks get more,
and in short time they start off and
grow like the rest. AS a rule it is
the inactive chicks starving to death
that runs the death rate up in brood
er chicks. In regard to skimmilk I
would not advise giving it to chicks
under four weeks of age. / think
after that it can be fed to chicks at
an advantage. No doubt there are
other methods which are giving good
results for others, but the above has
proven to be the best for us after
twenty years experimenting. After
four weeks we vary the feed, drop
ping the chick feed and feeding
cracked corn, whole wheat, oats, etc,
feeding a mash (scalded) in morn
ing, containing beef scraps"

Chemical Salts in Manure.

Organic matter in manure seems
to be chiefly to make the land work
better, and in absorbing and retain
ing moisture. So many are disposed
to attach a mysterious value to the
excrements of animals, and to think
that some special properties are inn
parted to these in the transformation
Of food through the body of the ami
NAL, that they will not readily ac-
cept the idea that the manuring prop
critics of dung are confined to the
chemical salts which 1t contains. 1t
must be borne in mind that expert
mental fields receive no manure, nor
does any animal enter them, except
the horses which cultivate them and
carry off the crop. Unless, there
fore, the plants can trlve on cheml-
cal salts, they could not be there.

IA: 1924. (conseeration Meeting,

Men who will agree IN nothing else
will agree in making excuses to avoid
doing their duty.
Possessions and the care of them
keep many from God. Their possess
lions possess them.
Worldly business keeps many from
The Fathers business; 1t will prove
to be a bad business before they are
through with It.
Pleasure and social joys keep many
From the highest JOY that sweetens
and enriches all pleasures.
Suggestions.
Nothing Is really done for Christ
tin it is done with gladness.
When Christ asks MS to do a duty,
there can be no excuse: when He
does not ask us. we need no excuse.
Ii duty seems n harsh word. It Is
because you have not gone back OF
the word.

The beginner in strawberries
should consult with some experienced
grower before selecting the variety,
as the kinds used in some sections
and on certain soils may not be suit
able elsewhere. Some varieties will
thrive on heavy soils better than on
light soil, while others give the best
results on sandy soils. Some kinds
are very large, but not good in quail
ty. Never sacrifice flavor for size,
as flavor is everything in straw
berry. Many growers prefer the va
rieties that stand shipment to mar
ket; hence, for a family supply, the
aim should be to select a variety suit
able for the soil, and of excellent
quality, in preference to size and
firmness. Do not overlook the fact
that some varieties are both stamin-
ate and pisti'late, while others are
pistallate only. Should the variety
selected be pistillate, every fourth
row should be of some variety that Is
both staminate and pistillate, and
which blossoms at the same time as
the other. In order that fertilization
may result, for II not there will be no
fruit. There is no variety which can
be said to be the best, as all. vaiie-
ties will excel In some respect and be
lacking In other qualities. The prop
er method is to procure a variety
best adapted to the soil and give
good cultivation, with an abundance
of plant food, and satisfactory re-
suits will usually follow. "Potted''
plants are the runners taken from
old strawberry plants that have root
