Do Bone Cutters Paw?

One pound Of cut bone for dozen
hens once day, which should not cost
over cent a pound, will produce more
because the cut bone IS complete in
egg making substances, while the grain
Is largely deficient in many respects,
says the Mirror and Farmer. Some
persons affirm that it does not pay to
procure n bone cutter for small flocks
That Is mistake. Bone cutters are
now cheaper than many ordinary gar
den tools and are strong, durable and
efficient. The cost of the bone cutter
Is soon regaincd in the increased num-
Der of eggs laid.

Pastor Thompson was little
late getting to his service Sunday
evening. The people Of Lyons
school house neighborhood are re-
sponsible. While he was in the
school house Sunday afternoon,
some member of the congregation
at that point slipped out and loaded
his buggy SO hevaily with vegcta-
bles, canned goods, meat, lard,
honey, butter, eggs and other
things that he had to drive more
carefully home than usual. But if
the congregations at both ends of
the road could have witnessed the
iov in the home when the cargo
was unloaded they would forgive
their late pastor.
