Bono and Meat for Poultry.

The development of the poultry and
egg business is something simply won
derfnl. The fact is coming to be known
that if poultry can have a clean, warm,
well ventilated home, with plenty of
sunshine and the right kind of food,
they will usually lay. During the ex-
tremely colds months it is very essential
that they have the stimulating, strength
giving nourishment afforded by green
cut bone. Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park,
Vermont, is probably the largest pro-
ducer of green cut bone and meat in the
United States and he will send POO
pound barrel to any one on receipt of
$3.50 and will prepay the freights to
any railroad station in New England or
the Middle States.

Hens Pay If They Lay.

What Is more aggrevating than the re-
fusal of the biddy to lay when eggs are
high?
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on poul-
try until every hen is eaten forgetting
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She
likes to lay and then talk about it after
she has done the job, but she does not
like to work when she is cold, chilly and
poorly supplied with warm, stimulating
food. If she could speak good English,
she would tell you that she would like
few rations each week of green cut
bone and meal; that she would like a
warm, clean home to live ina home
with plenty of sunshine and southern
exposure, Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park
VT, supplies fresh green cut bone and
meat at $3.50 for a 2OO-pound barrel,
freights prepaid to any station in New
England or the Middle States, and the
money may be sent at his risk in regis
tered letter, postal money order, express
money order OF check.

THE WATER CLOCK.

this last piece of cork to float in the
water of the can, which is to be open
at the top. lie bit of cork at the top,
which is to act as a pointer, can also
help to steady the wire by having two
needles inserted so that they will move
up and down in the groove, being fixed
crosswise.
One of the needles will thus serve as
a pointer, and to mark out the hours
on the cardboard one simply lets the
water run out for an hour from the
opening at the bottom and, going to
the cardboard, makes mark. The
other hours are determined In the same
way.-St Louis Republic.

THE WHIRllNG OERVISH.

Nearly every circus or wild west

and they are certainly wonderful crea-
lures. | wonder if all of you know
where they come from?
They are Mohammedans from Persia,
a set of men who devote or are sup
posed to devote their entire time to
religion and are perhaps as nearly like
monks as anything else. Fasting for
days at time with continual prayer,
at last affects their minds, and they
see wonderful visions which they dis
close to their superstitious brothers,
over whom they have great influence.
They are always miserably poor. living
on charity and earn what little they
have by being hired to mourn at fu-
nerals or to conduct religious ceremo-

Some of these men perform most
wonderful tricks, such as fire eating.
Juggling and walking on broken glass.

FOOLISH GIRLS.
Those Who Deliberately Walk Into
Matrimonial Failure.

1t is enough to make ones heart ache
the way foolish girls will pass by splen-
did, Woodworking men and choose in
significant little nobodies for their
llfe's partners, and all because they
won't take the trouble to look below
the veneer OF fine dress.
The man who has an aim in life can't
spend all his time in running after
girls and going to dances.
He has something better to do. He
has to make name and place for
himself in the world.
The young men who are lounging
around street corners and saloons will
never be anything better than they are
now. The chances are they will be
much worse.
Look around at the married women
of your acquaintance. Some Of them
married honest, Woodworking men.
Others married loafers. Some of them
are happy wives, others miserable
wrecks.
Look forward a few years and i'm
agine yourself in the place of either
and then marry a good for nothing
loafer If you dare.
Marry the worker and help him
build up a successful career. Let him
come home at night and find a cheer
full home and happy, smiling wife
who is proud of his successes and
sympathetic in his reverses.
But don't deliberately walk into
life where failure is bound to come.

one of the boys working for him on a
large stock farm says: "If more of the
"Kurn Hattin" boys could be employed
on the farms of Vermont, farming
wouldn't be as great problem as it is
today"
Eight young men were sent out from
the Homes to fill good positions during
1906 and most encouraging reports are
received from their employers.
The great aim of Kurn Hattin is to
make practical, self-supporting citizens
out of the unfortunate homeless boys,
who if left to themselves in their natural
environment, would in many cases, be
incrimin9ted.
Kind friends when you consider this
work in all of it's broadness, you will
agree with the statement, that its value
is estimable and it's influence far-reach-
ing, for who can know the amount of
good accomplished when even one home
less boy is helped to noble manhood?
Sixty-four applications for admission
to the Homes had to be refused during
1906 on account of insufficient room and
money. Thirty of these applications
came from Vermont.
"Kurn Hattin's" latch string is being
continually pulled, and those who have
the work seriously at heart are grieved
when the doors are unable to swing wide
open, giving a ready welcome to all
needy applicants.
The property is free from debt. Enough
money for needed repairs and additions
to the buildings was given last year.
These improvements will be made in the
spring; then the equipment will be ade-
quate for the care of more boys if the
contributions to running expenses can
be enlarged.
The average annual cost per boy is
$3.50 in addition to the farm produce.
The Homes are dependent entirely upon
public charity for this cash.
Our appeal is not for help to pay debts
but for help to sustain a noble Christian
work which is thoroughly established in
the confidence of people and Incorporated
under the laws of our State; and for help,
also, to guarantee its enlargement.
"Kurn Hattin" workers are glad to
say that as the knowledge of their work
is spreading, public and individual in
terest in it is increasing.
Miss E. Eliza Sessions of East Mid
dlebury, who is spending all of her
time and best thought in endeavoring
to create new and deeper sympathy for
''Kurn Hattin" throughout Vermont was
greatly gratified recently with specific
evidence of success in her own town.
She was invited to call at the home of
one of the old residents of Middlebury
who is long time friend of her family
and of herself, as well. During the
call $50 check was given Miss Sessions
for "Kurn Hattin." This is a great en-
couragement to her as she is anxious to
gain the support of Middlebury people in
her efforts.
Will not this gift serve as an incentive
to others in this vicinity to give what
they can to help advance a cause that
is doing so much in the preparing of
neglected boys for noble manhood?
Miss Sessions wishes here to publicly
thank the above donor and all others
who have in any way aided her in the
"Kurn Hattin" work.

Special Correspondence.

The New England Kurn Hattin Homes
for boys are situated at Westminster and
Saxtons River, Vermont. The name
Kurn Hattin is a Hebrew name mean
ing Horns of Hattin. The Homes are
given this name on account of the re-
semblance of the great hill on which the
home at Westminster is situated, to the
Horns of Hattin of Palestine.
These. Homes were opened thirteen
years ago with four boys. They are
sheltering, yes more than that, provid-
ing Christian farm home for fifty
homeless boys today two-fifths of whom
are Vermont boys, two-ffths Massachu-
sets boys; and the remaining one-flfth
are from New Hampshire. Their ages
are from eight to nineteen years. They
are largely orphan boys; entirely home
less boys.
A boy, to gain admission to the Homes
must be from eight to fourteen years old;
normal child mentally and physically
not vicious. Applications must be made
to the superintendent and board of
trustees by some one interested in the
welfare of the boy. This is occasionally
done by a relative but more frequently
by some charitable person who knows
of the boy and his environment and
knows also of ''Kurn Hattin.'
A good farm is connected with each
Home from which enough farm produce
is raised for it's consumption. This not
only provides occupation for the boys
but greatly reduces expense.
Beside being taught labor in various
forms, the boys are given the very best
school advantages. A teacher is en-
ployed in the Home at Westminster and
the results of the school work in its va
rious branches are sufficient proof of the
good work done in the school room. The
boys at Saxtons River attend the graded
school and Vermont Academy
A great deal of thought is given to the
home training. "Kurn Hattin" believes
in the old-fashioned New England home
where the day was begun with family
ing predominates in all the departments
of the Homes and almost unconsciously
the boys are led step by step to realize
the highest ideals of home-life and their
duty to the All-wise Father Nearly all
of the young men unite with the church
before going away from "Kurn Hattin. "
The work is inter denominational.
A position is found for each young
man when he is sufficiently developed
to care for himself. Even after the boy
Is self-supporting "Kurn Hattin' is in
touch with him and is to him a home
always welcoming him to the family
circle for vacations or in case of sickness
This is very great comfort to the BOYS
and helps them to be much stronger to
resist temptation.
The strong words of commentator
from employers of "Kurn Hattin" boys
are great testimony of the genuneness
OF the work done at the Homes. The
Superintendent of the Davidson Rubber
Co., Somerville, Mass, who las had one
of the "Kurn Hattin" boys in his en-
ploy for four years, writes: IF your
Home can turn out such boys as William.
don't for one moment get discouraged. "
William has had several promotions. He
