Il Bright New Year.

Very beautifully have poets
protrayed the wealth of the open
ing year, a wealth tinctured per-
haps with sorrow as the past has
been, but nevertheless, if we
grasp it truly and use it rightly,
it is a wonderful Promised Land
whose border line we shall cross
when the bells ring out the Old
and in the New Year.
When the peal sounds, how our
minds concentrate and gather up
all the many scenes of the past
year-all we have done or neg
lected or suffered. These all
crowd upon us as we hear the
last echoes Of the departing year.
But it is the New we have now to
encounter, and if we enter it de-
termined to make it a year of
usefulness, of good work and
good cheer, it will be a Happy
NewNYear.
To us as Americans it should
be a year Of hope. Centuries ago
Solomon said, ''Say not that the
former times were better than
now, for thou dost not enquire
tMisely concerning the matter. =
And in this new land there is no
place for the croaker. The past
Shas been a year great with
achievement physically and NOR
ally. The best things in the po-
litical and civil life Of the nation
have been quickened as they have
not for many years. Wrongs
have been weeded out of the body
polite and the body commercial.
1t is a time when we feel the
truth Of Lincoln's saying that il
is safe to trust the people. Wrongs
they may do and mistakes they
may make, but the wrongs will
be fewer and the mistakes les:
harmful than if we resigned our
selves to the domination Of ;
caste or ring. The honesty, en-
lightenment and virtue Of tht
people are the bulWark Of tn
Republic.
And in things material wha
promise the New Year brings
We have had financial stirring
up, but it was only a jolt in ou
progress. 1t showed us Wher

Raise Good Feed

Most farmers fail TO appreci.
ate the opportunities they have
for making money with poultry.
The whole question , 5 one OF
management. The average farm
or does not value the merits of
standard bred poultry highly
enough. The many years OF
careful breeding that has been
necessary TO establish any OF
the standard bred varieties have
put quality into the fowls. and
one who wants TO make money
from poultry should take ad-
vantage OF these im improvements
brought about by the work OF
others.
Another com mon trouble is
that farmers do not usually raise
the right feed for poultry. Corn
is too s,archy TO make young
fowls develop fas, or 10 make
hens lay we'll. When fowls re.
ccivc practically no feed except
corn. there ~ also no, enough
variety 10 their ration for good
results. kaiilr corn ~ much
better than corn for them. and
might be used IN connection
wlsh corn. The ka.hr corn
heads a be gathered as soon
as ripe and stored away where
sparrows and mice cannot de-
stroy them. Poultry will take
pleasure in picking the grain
from the heads. Soy beans are
another crop that ~ easily raised
and will be excellent for produc-
ing growth and eggs. They
also have the advantage that
poultry can run IN the patch
and cat the beans As they ma
turc from time TO time.
II is none too early to be think.
ing about what the poultry will
have 10 eat next winter. Our
domestic beasts and birds need

gcstion in good condition. lust

began to paint holy pictures when

assumed the protecting disc as an es-

earliest paintings represent each sacred

he ideaiized this into a circle, dark at
