A Poultry Food of Genuine Merit.

The manufacturer Of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of its
preparation, being certain that only
hrst'class materials enter into its compo-
sltion. 1t is claimed for Pages Perfect
ed Poultry Food" that there doesn't
enter into its composition a single parti-
Gle OF the ordinary meat meal which is
the basis of so many poultry foods. The
nearest approach to it is what is known
as tallow scraps or cracklings, and every
grandmother who has lived on the farm
and taken care of chickens knows there
is nothing better to make hens lay than
taliow scraps, and Pages Perfected

A Remarkable Winter for Birds.

Edward Howe Forbush, agent of thu
National Association of Audubon Socie
ties has prepared the following for pub
lication:
II the reports that come in from many
parts OF New England can be relied upon
this has been a remarkable winter for
birds. The breeding season of 1908 was
unusually favorable for the birds in most
sections and this has resulted in increas-
ing their numbers The fall was late
with fine dry weather, and the flights of
small birds came in numbers and STAYED
long. The largest flight of woodcock
that has been seen foryear went through
the New England States in November.
Woodcock were plentiful for few DAYS
all along the Atlantic seaboard, as far
| south at least as southern New England,
and the flight extended we'll back into
the interior In southeastern New Eng
land most birds moved south very reluc-
family. Bluebirds and swallows were
reported in Plymouth and Bristol coun
ties, Massachusetts, late in December,
and good many robins were seen up to
the first week in January. The Carolina
wren, which seems to have invaded New
England in recent years. and which has
extended its range even to Name has
been reported in some localities this win
ter. A few king6shers were observed |
where the streams were still open, and |
wild geese were reported late in Decem- |
Der. Notwithstanding the fact that
many birds have remained with us
longer than usual, unusual numbers of |
certain winter birds have CONG down
from the north, and farmers report "lots
OF small birds in the fields and woods
this winter. Flocks of the rarer white
winged crossbill, pine siskins and red.
polls are reported, Tree sparrows and
luncos have been seen in large numbers.
| he season has been so open in Massa-
chuSetts that these birds have found a
plentiful supply of weed seeds in the
heIds. Snowy owls are reported from
along the coast
One correspondent from Maine claims
to have seen that very rare bird the
Bohemian Wax wing. Maine ornitholo-
glsts should be on the lookout Tor this
bird, Tor one is fortunate to get a sight
OF it in lifetime.
Everyone who lives in the country
should feed the birds in winter. 1t is

pirate selections of scripture and PRAYER

The papers presented by Mrs. James A.
lmpey, covering the terrible and de-
