BELIEF IN PRAYER.

by dSAhln LlOyu uOhSSs
l believe in prayer because 1t is in
evitable; it is the accompaniment of
life; we can avoid 1t only by vacating
our human nature Prayer is akin to
that which impels the germ to seek the
light, which bursts the bud into flower
and kisses the flower into fruit. 1t is
that which gives wings to the chrysalis
/ see 1t In the hungry eyes of the dog
as he looks into the face OF his mas
ter 1t is that which wreathes the ador
Ing face Of the babe in the mothers
arms.
believe in prayer because 1t is help
full; 1t is justified by experience. Pray
ers are answered not according to the
impatience OF the human but according
to the calm of God; we get not what
we ask but what we need. All deeds
are first thoughts Desire is the mold
into which life pours its energies. Our
yearnings are the rungs on the trestle
board according to which the structure
of our lives is shaped. God is in every
cry that goes God-ward.
I believe In prayer because it is rea-
sonable, it Is philosophic. True phil
osophy is not a scheme of thinking, but
it is recognition of the facts Of life,
a discovery OF things as they are. The
inevitable Is philosophic.

A Great Secret.

In a small town in the Midlands there
Is rich congregation which is not char
acterized by lavish liberality.
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to contrib
ute more generously to the funds of the
church. The members would, indeed,
give something, but it was nearly al
ways the smallest silver coin of the
realm that was placed on the plate.
A shrewd Scotchman who had recent
~ come to the place and Joined the
church was not long in noticing this
state Of affairs, and a remedy soon sug-
gested itself to his practical mind.
I'm tell you what" he said to one of
the officials; ''if you MAX me treasurer,
I'll engage to double the collections in
three months
sure enough, the collections began to
increase. until by the time he had stated
they were nearly twice as much as for
merly.
"How have you managed it, Mr. San
dymanp said the pastor to him one
day.
"It's a great secret" returned the can
ny Scot: "but I'll tell you in confidence.
The folk. saw, maistly gave threepen-
ny bits. Weel, when | got the money

When Casting a Bronze Statue.

Immense pains and immense labor
attend the production of a bronze statue
of any size, even after the artist has
done his work" remarks a sculptor.
'.Te begin with, the plaster model has
to be completely covered with small
Jumps of a special kind of sand, some
times as many as 1900 or 1000 of these
pieces being required. After these blocks
Of sand are dry they are taken off the
cast one at time and carefully put to-
gether to form the mold. The latter
is then filed with clay, and the same
operation is again gone through. a fac
smile of the plaster cast being thus OBJ
tanned.
Then comes the most delicate part
of the whole work. The clay model. or
core as it is technically called, has
to have a quarter of an inch taken off
its entire surface, which. as may readily
be imagined, is anything but easy, es-
pecially If the subject be at all ornate.
'4'The core is then again put into the
mold-which has, of course. TO be recon
structed once more being kept exactly
in the center by means of iron rods
s'The molten bronze is then poured in
from the top, completely filing the space
between the core and the mold After
il has cooled the latter is again removed
and the clay interior extracted, when
the statue. somewhat rough and needing
a slight touching up, is revealed. Cas-

Poultry Houses.

The essential points In poultry
house are light, dryness and good ven
tilation. The houses that have been
built warm and tight, with the idea Of
keeping the water from freezing have
the objection, that In nearly all cases
the ceilings and walls coat with frost
during very cold weather. When the
weather moderates the frost melts and
you have a very damp house. The
house smells Of chickens, or In other
words, Is poorly ventilated and, In
many instances, the chickens are I'M
healthy Sometimes they lay we'll dur
ing winter, but the eggs are very poor
for Matching purposes.
For a number of years we have been
trying to find some way to overcome
these difficulties. The best means Of
ventilating house that | know of Is
by using cloth screens, and to keep a
house perfectly dry, have found moth
fng better than a straw loft, !. e., the
ceiling is covered with straw, the straw
being placed on boards or rails which
are some six or eight inches apart
The straw should be about one foot or
more in depth. The straw, which Is
exposed to the air of the pen, will alb
sorb the majority of the moisture and
keep the house fairly dry, at least, we
have had no difficulty whatever in keep
ing houses perfectly dry by using straw
lofts. Where we have not used these
lofts, even where there was ample ven
tilation, there has been some little diff

ing more into favor. Under ordinary
circumstances house needs to be one
third of the front of glass In order to
have the pen we'll lighted There should
be about as much more of the front
OF cotton. The cotton may be put on
frames which can be closed or opened,
according to weather conditions. On
nice bright days, the cotton is either
rolled up, or IL the curtain is put on
frames, it can be hung UP. This makes
the pen very nice, bright and airy. On
nearly all days the cotton screens
should be opened for a short time. On
days which are very windy and dull,
II is advisable to only open one screen.
II more than one is opened there Is apt
to be too many draughts throughout
the pen. As far as we can tell, cotton
will keep out almost as much cold as
ordinary glass frame or sash. At
least, u the houses where we have cot
ton fronts, we get slightly higher
minimum temperature than where we
have It similar house with all glass
front and no cotton. Il must be borne
in mind, however, that In these houses
of ours where the tests are made, the
windows are not fitted extremely tight.
Where floors are made of cement,
boards, or ground; at least. four to six
inches of fresh earth should be put on
each year. Care should be taken TO
keep the floors well cleaned, otherwise
the ground becomes tainted and the
common epidemic among fowls more
prevalent. The ground outside the house
should be ploughed or spaded once
or twice year The land, too, needs
cropping and where this is impossible
the next best thing is to apply lime
and work the same into the soil.
All poultry houses should he white
washed aud disinfected at least once a
year. The present time is undesirable
for withdrawing. as it is apt to leave
the house entirely too damp for the
coming season. 1t would be better done
In the spring or summer.--W. r. Ora.

Making Alcohol ON the Far.as.

Making Alcohol ON the Farlas.
The internal revenue commissioner
has prepared for public use docu
ment giving the regulations for manu-
featuring denatured alcohol from waste
products on the farm, and no doubt the
Department of Agriculture win follow
UP the matter with bulletins in the
popular educational form. Making
cheap alucohol for fuel, power and light
is a great industry on the German
farms, and takes considerable part in
the German advance in manufacturing
and commerce. French farmers also
have made progress In the business.
Some own their own stills and others
depend on travelling distillers. The
waste Of wine, fruit and beet growing
Is chiefly relied ON, potato crops cost
ing more In France than in Germany.
At the beginning of the year tile tax
on the manufacture of denature1 al
cohol was removed, but the advantages
predicted are not yet visible to any
extent. Time is required to grasp the
practical details of the change. Ameri-
can farms raise more marketable crops
than any other and have a greater va
riety of waste and by-products Alco-
hol can be distilled from corncobs and
like material and Is said to be superior
to gasoline for fuel. The authorities
at Washington are giving thought 10
what can be accomplished in its llanu-
facture by individual farmers or groups
Of farmers, and the industry, when
fairly set In motion, will take the place
anticipated. The uses of cheap, eff
cient fuel are not In doubt. An active
campaign by the Department of Agri-
culture will give denatured alcohol the
start needed-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
