difficulty This communication sets forth
that declarations made by laymen rela-
tive to worship are not in disobedience
to the instructions of the Pope, pro-

disturbances and admits that such
declarations do not infringe upon the
hierarchy, as the vatican has only for-
hidden elergymen to carry out the re-
ouired legal formalities. This Will per-

How tn Run an Incubator.

The average farmer. his wife, his son
or his daughter should not expect TO
learn all about the management of an
incubator from the perusal of written
pages Experience comes from the
work itself. This work Is easy, inter
esting and fascinating. 1t occupies
the mind and leads to investigation.
More than that, 1t leads to success and
profit But great results cannot be ex-
pected In the beginning. The poultry
business is a trade and must be learn
ed. Many IA person is idle today and
looking for some sphere Of usefulness
who could learn how to operate an In
cubator to both mental and financial
advantage But the work, slight as 1t
is. must be done properly and at the
right time The poultry business is
honorable and profitable, but It re-
Quires study and experience. We serve
long and faithful apprenticeship to
learn other more laborious and less re-
munerative trades. when the same
amount of application would in leas
time make us experts with an incu-
bator and give us trade in line not
affected by strikes or lockouts or liable
to be overcrowded. Richard Fl. Wood,
