YOUNG PEOPLE
At NJ. {. CHURCH
Bishop Cranston Addresses the
EpWorth Leaguers and
Endeav0r Societies.

Last night Bishop Cranston, who has
dressed the Young Peoples Society of
this city. The Methodist church was
decorated with American, Japanese
and Korean flags. The Endeavor
Union banner was given a place of
honor between the flags.
Peter Tosh was the leader of the
meeting. In his address he spoke of
the need of the hour-the advancement
of the young people into the vacancies
in the older ranks.
The Korean Epworth League had
an interesting report on their work.
The japanese leagues representative
spoke in Japanese and his talk was
interpreted by Mr.. Wadman. At the
close, a little japanese maiden render
co a solo in her tongue, which was
remarkably clear and sweet.
Mrs. Eddie Damon was next called
upon to say a few words. Although
the call was unexpected, Miss Damon's
ldlh was ilSleneu 10 with Keen interest
and much profit.
Bishop Cranston talked along the
same lines that Mr.. Tosh followed He
urged a more practical organization,
one which would attend meetings. AS

ury to do that. 1t was claimed that
ed successfully if state labor commits
sioners were willing to receive contrib
utions from private individuals. How
ever, Senator Lodge admitted that this
could be done under the provision in
the conference report and tne South
erners, although declaring that South
.ern States did not like to do business
that way, indicated that was what was
likely to happen Finally a vote was
reached, the conference report was ap-
proved, to be followed by prompt ac-
ton by the House and the sending of
the immigration bill to the President
for signature. The House promptly
passed a resolution inquiring of Secre-
tary Straus about his decision on
South Carolina immigration, but it
probably will not be heard from fur
Their for some time. There is general
rejoicing that the Japanese incident is
closed and that everybody is so well
pleased.
The Rivers and Harbors bill was re-
ported from the Commerce Committee
to the Senate this afternoon. There
was no change whatever in the text
of the House provision for appropria-
tons for Honolulu and HiIo and there
is not the slightest chance that those
items will be disturbed. If the bill
becomes law, Honolulu and Hilo will
be provided for as the House legislat-
ed. There has been some talk of try
ing to defeat the entire bill in the SEN
ate or by extended debate on the con-
ference report, but that kind of threat
is not taken seriously.

Articles describing the strong and

point, appear from time to time in
farm and poultry publications. A
majority of these articles are written
by men and women who faithfully
describe the merits and faults OF the
fowls of this or that variety which
they have kept.
Those who have had little or no
experience in the business OF poultry
raising are likely to accept these
statements as final and to avoid GER
tain breeds and adopt certain other
breeds upon the recommendation OF
the writer's of these articles. That.
however is not safe thing to do.
declares Farmers Review Because
certain man found fowls of a GER
tain variety poor layers. excellent
table fowls, slow to mature and good
foragers does not by any means
prove that all fowls OF the same vari-
ETY. have the same merits and the
same faults. IL simply means that
the few specimens of the variety
which this man bred proved, under
his treatment, to be what he de-
scribed.
There are no principal character
istics, such as the ability to lay extra
well, the trait OF maturing rapidly,
bearing confinement well. etc, which
may be put down as the exact attri-
! butes of all fowls of a certain breed
or variety. The fact is, the useful
ness Of any fowl depends upon its
| care and its breeding for generations
back. A brood of chicks hatched
from eggs laid by fowls which were
| Indifferent layers and which were in
! turn bred from Indifferent layers, can
! not by any means be made to pro-
duco high average yield of eggs. no
matter how well they may be housed,
cared for and fed.
On the other hand, flock Of
chicks bred from a long line of heavy
layers will prove good egg producers
under rather unfavorable conditions,
though one or two seasons of mis-.
| treatment will tear down the laying
tendency which has been built up by
the work of several years In select
ing the breed, therefore, take one that
best suits your fancy but obtain the
stock from breeders who are known
TO have vigorous. healthy fowls, and
who have bred them for productive
ness during n series of years with
success. Then you have only to con,
tinue their work to maintain, and per
haps improve, the value of the breed

Catch Basins and Silt Holes

The best method for conducting sur
face water to a tile is through n catch
basin. This basin Is constructed by
digging a hole In the ground and wall
ing It up with stone, brick. plank or
sewer tile. The depth varies from
four to six feet, and the diameter from
two to five feet. according to the
amount OF water to be carried away
and the size Of the tile outlet. The
tile outlet is placed two feet above
the bottom of the basin. This pro-
vides n place in the bottom for the
accumulation Of silt, thus preventing
It from being carried into the tile.
The water enters the basin through
n coarse iron crate, either at the Top
or at the side near the top. This CRATE
keeps out the trash. The mouth of the
outlet tile should also be protected
with a coarse screen to keep out trash
that may pass through the inlet CRATE.

THE IDEAL SALESMAN
BY CHARLOTTE WHITNEY.

Ideals are easy to portray. To fol-
low ideals is another matter. To talk
about an ideal salesman" requires
eloquent words and felicitous com
parisons. To become an ideal sales
man is n matter of life experience and
may be well said to begin with the
commencement of active manhood.
To tell how to become an ideal
salesman" is one thing short of the
impossible. Carlisle could call men
fools, but even his mighty vocabulary
did not tell how to become wise.
Therefore | will attempt portrayal
only and wish my pen was more skill
full and keen to show forth the
kaleidoscope virtues of the ideal
salesman"
Let me call him Mr.. Brown. Mr.
Browns identity precedes and under.

ideal man; fair and square; fair, that
is to say, without reproach, a man

is open to any who care to read

and twists, and snake-in-thegrass

Add to these fundamental qualities
certain little flnishings and furnish
ings of personality, pleasing in ad-

Successful swine BREEDING.

For successful swine breeding ! find
that the following points must be OBJ
served: Select from your young hogs
those intended for brood sows, and
feed them food that will make them
grow and that will give them good
muscles and good frame. avoiding
much food OF a fattening character.
See that the sows have ~ or II teats.
Two or three weeks before breeding
time feed heavier, so that the sows
will gain nicely. Select a stock hog
that is strong and vigorous. After
breeding, continue feeding food that
is bone and muscle-making. A few
days before farrowing time pen up
each SOW and feed moderately, giving
such food as is 10 be fed after farrow-
ing. A change OF feed may cause
scours in the pigs, Do not give too
much variety at any time. These
points are overlooked by a majority of
farmers.

A flock of young chickens is very
much like drove of pigs, when you
Jnco get them used to being fed IN

at theiI regular feeding time. A self

must be enclosed in a pen where the
chickens may get but the Old hens
cannot. First OF all, after such an ar
rangement has been made. is to get
the flock in the habit of eating there,
then all is easy. AS long as they are
fed outside, they will not usually
come TO the pen.

Give Chicks Charcoal.

When chicks are fed mashes 1t is a
great benefit to them to add a little
powdered charcoal to their food.
Have the mash moist enough 80 the
charcoal will stick. The chicks win
soon learn to like it and will eat the
mixture as readily as plain feed.
When they get older feed the charcoal
alone and see how they will eat H.
