MAKING ICE AT HOME.
How 1t Can Be Done During the
 Severe Cold Weather.

Secure several vessels with fiaring sides like tubs, half-barrels or large pails and clean them thoroughly. Then when the first severe freezing wea- ther sets in place these vessels, filled with clean well water to a depth of one foot in exposed places. One or two nights of freezing will convert the water into a solid cake of ice and about 20 tubs will make a ton.
 70 secure clear ice stir the water vigorously for a while before allow ing to freezes to cause the air to leave it. When frozen solid set the tub for a moment in some boiling wat CT and the cake can be removed cas- ily. Place these blocks into storage at once and refill the tubs. few days of zero weather will in this way provide several tons of good ice. Four or five tons will supply an average family for the entire summer.
 If you have no good ice house, Farm and Home suggests the inclosing of storage bin in the corner of the barn. Build a box on the north side of the barn and protect it with a good layer of straw or hay. Provide for drainage and ventilation with an opening for removing the ice at the top. A space ten feet each way will hold eight to ten tons. Pack well in sawdust and cover the whole with a pile of hay and you will have ice all summer.

Shelter the Brooder.

When the weather in the spring has become mild enough to put the brooder out of doors, some follow the plan of protecting it with a small portable brooder house. The bad effects of cold winds and storms are thus prevented. These same brooder houses may be used later on in the season to protect the chicks from the heat of the sun. After the chicks be- come too large to stay in the brooder they will use this house for roasting. Here they will be protected from rains and from predatory rodents.

 Green cut bone is the best substi- ute for insects. and if fed properly is a fair rival. An ounce a day to laying fowls is a fair allowance when fed with proper grain and vegetable ra- tion. Green cut bone is the cheapest and best poultry food known if fresh from the butcher and full of meat and sristle. Boiled or bleached bones or those from old and diseased animals should not be used.
 The cost of a mill for grinding the bones is not great if one has use for it, and this is really the only expense, as in some localities green bones can be secured for little or nothing. In this section, we get them for one cent a pound in cold weather and for noth- ing in summer, but in small country towns they are usually hard to get. Get mill large enough for all present and possible future needs. and one that runs by power, if the farm is so supplied. If not hand cutter does nicely. Manufacturers are now mak- ing bone cutters that run either by hand or power.

 There is no single thing of such an aid to secure a satisfactory egg yield in winter as green cut bone. and it is equally valuable in aiding hens through the melting season and start ing them laying again. It is also g great aid in bringing the bullets tc maturity.

Rapid Spread Of the

preach to the world this new theory
of sound body from sound mind,
this latest development of the philoso-

Yet in giving credit for the Emman-

overlook the Anglo-Saxon world and
especially the American end Of it. In
England the great forerunner Of the
movement was Bishop Berkeley. Of
whom Byron makes facetious mention

And proves it, tits no matter what he

In spite of the Byronic cynicism it

Byron's play on words recalls an
other familiar saw, used much by the
late President Mark Hopkins Of Will

somewhat in this wise:
What is mind? No matter.
What is matter? Never mind.
In America the earliest manifesta-
tation of this philosophy was Ralph

looked in that direction. There is no

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.

II mas been only trife over two
years since the Emmanuel move
i ment started, and yet it has spread
into many countries and into
scores OF churches. Today it is a pop
ular topic in newspapers, magazines
and medical journals and for the most
part Is receiving unstinted praise. Is
It a passing fad or the beginning Of a
new era not only in the church, but in
medicine and in the health and spirit
OF the race generally? The thought
less may take the first view, but those
who look into the matter more deeply
are concluding that there is something
in the movement which is represented
not only in the Emmanuel cult, but in
Christian Science and the New Thought
that the mind does have an influence
over the body, that mental healing at
least of some diseases is a demonstrate
ed fact and that the result of all these
new schools will be to make a more
optimistic, a more healthy and more
spiritual humanity.
DR.. ElwOod Worcester, the leader of
the new departure, is an Episcopal
clergyman in Boston, the birthplace of
so many movements that have affected
the thought not only of this country,
but Of the world. Boston is both the
Hub and the incubator Of the uni

Worcester was university course in

and his pupils. A series Of recent az
ticles in one of the magazines claims
that Mrs. Eddy herself studied under
Quimby. 1t is certain that julius
Dresser and DR.. W. F. Evans, who
wrote the first mind cure books, were
disciples Of his and that the New
Thought. which is the parent body Of
spiritual healing in modern times, is
his direct offspring.
The Emmanuel movement is a more
recent manifestation of the same phi
losophy that is included in New
Thought. In principle it differs scarce
~ at all. The only divergence is In
details and methods of application
For example, the New Thought, while
It does not antagoniZe the medical
fraternity, does not always cooperate
with it, although some Of the New
IhOught healers are licensed physi-
clans, While others work with licensed
physicians. The Emmanuel movement
has its corps of doctors to whom al,
cases are at first referred. II the
osease IS organic the doctors keen
the case, and if functional the mental
healers take it. This has been CRIT
1cised as somewhat arbitrary dtvt-
sion, but seems to form a WORKING
basis OF union between probationary
and the materia medica, or, to put it
IN everyday English. between faith
cure and drugs
Another minor diffaranoo ho+-oo,
the two schools is that the New
Thought works both outside and in
side the church, While the Emmanuel
movement IS entirely inside. A third
difference is found In the fact that
some New Thought practitioners
charge, while others depend wholly on
voluntary contributions. In the EN-
manuel movement voluntary contribu-
lions are the rule.

Always Accompanies Life.

Now, this healing force ever attends
the life principle. Because it always
accompanies life it may be said to be
an attribute of life. Intelligence is
also an attribute Of life. since there is
some sort of intelligence, however ru-
dimentary, in every living organism.
Between the observation-disclosures, life
and the power of self repair or the
healing principle-there is a mysteri.
Gus bond of union since they are thus
always found together. All that men
tai healing does is to make use Of this
connection. Medicine at best works
on the surface. Mental healing goes
to the root by invoking the power OF
mind over the attendant power of self
repair inherent in the organism.
Theory aside, experiment has proved
that mental healing does cure some
diseases. Physicians admit this and
always have admitted it. The Emman-
uel movement takes advantage Of a
principle recognized from of old. It
obeys the Masters command to heal
the sick. In this work DR.. Worcester
and his assistant, DR.. McComb, are
leading the way within the church,
but marching in the same direction is
a great host confident In the faith that
this work will constitute the next great
forward step Of western civilization.
Canon Robert Ellis Jones of St
Johns cathedral, in New York, who is
an intimate personal friend Of Dr.
Worcester, recently told the writer
that the founder Of the new departure
had dreamed Of the step for ten years
before it was taken. A man who can
hold an ideal so long and has the
courage, faith and ability to realize II
is entitled to all honor when his vision
assumes the form Of q world crusade.
1t is but fitting, therefore, that this
momentous work should take its name
from DR.. Worcester's own church and
should go down to the ages as the
Emmanuel movement.

this is perhaps most important Of all

movements as wel claim to draw their
inspiration from the Christ. He heal
ed the sick himself and commanded
his followers to do So These modern
movements therefore regard them
selves as the fruit of the tree planted
in Galilee 1900 years ago.
A Personal Testimony.
As I never hide my light under a
bushel, but stand for the faith that is
in me, it is but frank and candid to
enter a personal testimony at this
point I believe in the direct word,
the sort given at the old fashioned eX-
perience meeting. I am especially in
terested in this Emmanuel movement
for the reason that I have advocated
identically the same thing for the past
seven years, or five years before DR..
Worcester started his work In news
papers, magazines and books and in
lectures delivered in Denver, New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Washington
and elsewhere I have written and
talked on this precise line wherever
given an opportunity to do So Ny
contention was that what the world
needs is to return to the fountain, to
original and genuine Christianity as
contained in the utterances and the
spirit Of the Man Of Nazareth. This
is its need in politics, in healing and
in life. Out Of the original Christian
harmony some notes have been Drop
ped, notably the healing Of man and
the brotherhood Of man. These lost
chords should be restored. The cure
Of man morally and physically is not
