Dipping Fowls for Lice.

To treat number of fowls individ-
ually with louise powder is a tedious,
unpleasant task. An easier and equally
successful plan is to dip the fowls in
a reliable brand of sheep dip.
Hold the fowls by the legs, heads
down, with one hand supporting their
heads. Let the solution cover every
part of the body from the toes up, ex-
cept the head and eyes of the hen. Re-
serve this part until last, as the hens
gasp and struggle when their heads go
under Pull the fowls to and fro sew
eral times in the tub, which insures the
solution percolating through the feath-
ers and reaching all sections Of the
body.
Keep each fowl in the solution not
less than one full minute, and two min
utes is often better. Dipping should be
performed only on warm, clear days so
the fowls can afterwards dry them
selves in the sun and will not catch

REsTLEssNEss WITHIN.

BY Rev. Guy Arthur Jameson.
Oh that l had wings like g dove, for
then would I fly away and be at rest
Psalms 4 g.
The writer Of the text was a poet, and
we know the poet to be given to swift
changes of mood, flashes of alternating
pessimism and optimism To-day thrills
with the JOY of living; tomorrow he
would escape from the burden of life
While the feeling that inspired the
words of the text is peculiar to the
poet, / think upon occasion it comes 10
every one. All of us at some time have
felt the longing to escape. to fly away
and be at rest. | think it is natural.
when day after day, year after year,
we rise to the same task. must take Up
the same round Of drudgery, that there
sooner or later comes a feeling of re-
bellion, when the spirit will crave in
sistently for some change, some escape,
some rest.
The wish is one impossible of fulfill
ment in flight. If we are to advance
in life, if we are to develop in the high
er sphere of living, we will find that
what we call burdens and responsible
ties will increase. The circle of activi-
ties, whatever it may be, will widen,
will make more demands: our influ-
cree will be more potent, our life fuller,

Salon1e Dance.

The Salome dance is brilliant bad

q fascinating and enhancing appeal to
the senses. 1t is a combination of grace
and beauty. 1t is feminine loveliness
exploited in the market place. 1t is
poetry of motion in its most subtle and
form taken from the studio where it
can be studied by the individual artist

When l commenced to farm it, I

els The clover was so light on the
clay land it did not pay to cut it. I
put in good many rods of tile ditch,
FED all the grain except wheat that
grew on the farm, saved all the manure
ana spread it on the poor spots and
raised one crop Of corn, one of wheat
and one of clover in succession. I plow
eight inches deep, but never pillow or
turn stock on ground when wet.
"Now the clay land will produce thir-
ty to forty bushels and black land fifty
to sixty bushels of corn per acre, wheat
fifteen to twenty-five and clover so
heavy that all had to be stirred before
1T would cure. I have never used a
pound of commercial fertilizer. I ex-

They Could Leave.

During the Revolutionary War, the
troops under Colonel McLane's COM
mand were suffering for provisions
and clothing and Congress had been
repeatedly petitioned for that relief
which it was not in it's power to be-
stow Under these circumstances,
Colonel McLane paraded his band of
suffering soldiers, who were about go
ing into winter quarters at Valley
Forge, and addressed them as follows !:
"Fellow-soldiers, you have served your
country faithfully and truly We have
fought hard fights together against a
hard enemy. You are in q bad way
for comfortable clothes, and it almost
makes me cry to see you tracking your
half-froZen, bloody feet on the cold
ground But Congress can't help it, or
can I. Now, if any of you want to re-
turn home, to leave the army at such
a time as this, you can go. Let those
who would like to go step out four
PAGES in front But-the first man who
steps out-if l don't shoot him, my
name is not McLane!" It is needless
to add that not single volunteer for
home was to be found in the ranks.

Graft and Stock.

The question of the influence of the
stock on the graft and vice versa has
been much discussed. The experiments
recorded by NJ. L. Guignard in the
Complies Rendus were made with a
view of discovering whether there is
any migration of chemical substances
from the one to the other. Plants rich
in compounds of hydrocyanic acid were
chosen. as this is easy to detect. 1t was
found that when a plant containing a
hydrocyanic glucoside is grated on one
destitute of it, or inversed, there is no
passage Of this substance from the one
to the other. The general conclusion
seems to be that grating is a sort of
artificial symbiosis in which each spe-
ces retains it's individuality.

and If we are to be brave and faithful
responsibilities. We will have to make
up our minds to many colorless days,
TO many thankless task, to many an
unappreciated effort. We must expect
the hour of depressing mood, when we
will long to escape from the mOnotony,
the care, the task.
But how often we are disappointed
when circumstances permit of our try
ing to escape, to fly away. The care and
burden and sense of responsibility go
with us. We cannot get away from our
selves. And often the source of dissat
isfaction is in our souls rather than the
circumstances of our work or lives. 1t
is change in ourselves that is needed
rather than change in our work and
environment. We think that if we could
only get into new scenes we would find
rest and peace. If we could only ex-
change places with some one we think
very fortunate and happy we would no
longer have cause for unrest But the
Change Liz AoW SSeAeS' DetIcA nho"A-
edge Of the enyied one, only convince
us Of the groundlessness Of our griev-
ances; that the trouble is only with
ourselves and not with our work and
environment.
I think there is but one sure answer
to this longing and unrest, and that
answer is Christ. When we have come
really to know Christ, we will have
come into a spirit that will make such
radical changes in our way of thinking
Of our work, our life, our responsibility,
that we will come into that "rest''
which He alone can offer. If we have
easy, our burden light.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Character is what we make Of life's
conditions.
1t takes more than good living to
make the good life.
1t takes a lot Of piety to stand up
against prosperity.
He is a foe to truth who would try
to defend it with error.
The holy life is the one that is
healthy all the way through.
No day is long enough to waste any
Of it in nursing enmity.
The unanswered prayer finds it's
fruitage in the disciplined heart.
The man who is going to heaven
never tries to take up all the road.
Do heavens business and heavenly
beauty will take care Of itself.
There's little Of the water Of life in
works on religious hydrostatics.
There's a lot of difference between
the tongue of fire and a fiery tongue.
No man is as good as he might be
w AlO uOCS IOL II " UC OclLc1 LllGA AC
can be.
No man needs our pity more than he
who is Indifferent to the sorrows of
others.
It's always safe to deny the authority
of an opportunity that thrusts itself
in on a duty.
The steps downward are so many and
so small that men seldom recognize the
grade.
There's some moral disease present
when the sight of another's happiness
gives us pain.
It is often worth while to do an ap-
parently fruitless act for the sake Of
acquiring a helpful habit.
When people are hungry for the liv-
ing bread it's folly feeding them lee
lures on agriculture.
Too many Of us make the mistake of
thinking that the more load we can
carry the more life we will live.

The So-CaIIed "AlasEa'' Wheat.


The Bureau of Plant Industry has
prepared the following statement in
anticipation of inquiries concerning
alaska" wheat:
A variety of wheat under the name
Of Alaska" is being widely advertised
as capable of yielding at the rate Of
200 bushels to the acre under ordinary
soil conditions and even better under
extra conditions" 1t is stated that
this variety was found growing wild in
Alaska, and claims of the most ex-
trayagant nature are made for it. In
consequence of this notoriety the de-
partment is receiving many requests for
seed.
This type Of wheat has been known
for many years both in this country and
in Europe. It has been tried at several
state experiment stations in the west
ern part of the United States during
the past fifteen years, but nowhere have
the yields been high enough to merit
attention. The wheat has been grown
to a very limited extent on certain
heavy undrained soils in France for
many years. In such locations it is
said to yield rather better than ordin-
airy wheat, but as it is one of the poor
est wheats known for making -four, it
is never grown where ordinary varieties
of wheat will thrive.
