Simons was born in 1492 and died in 1887. Ills True Christian Belief was published three years be- fore his death. Following the death of the leading spirit the sect under went divisions and changes of creed.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

French Peasant Women Hard Worker

The French peasant woman, Ere tonne or otherwise. works hard as any man. It makes one sad to see the women working in the fields, digging and delving, carrying heavy burdens, driving the cattle, sometimes attend ing to the machinery employed on the farms. One wonders whether hus- bands and fathers appreciate 1t all, especially when you hear some of the ballads, for ballads are supposed to reveal the soul of people. I heard one the other day of which the refrain is as follows:
 Dear Is my good wife Jeanne. Her death l should deplore. But dearer are my beaves, Their loss would grieve me more! From Plougastel (France) Letter to

One of the difficulties in poultry
raising is to get the hens to molt ear
ly, so that they will be ready to lay
in the fall and winter, when eggs are
high. Left to themselves, hens will
take long time to molt, and will not
finish until cold weather sets in. They
will not then lay until early spring
and all the profits for the winter
months are lost. At the poultry in
stitute held in Denver by the Colora-
do Agricultural College, W. j. r. Will
son, poultry man of long experience,
gave his method of controlling the
molting Of hens. AS soon as the hens
are through laying he turns them on al
falfa, feeding them dry bran only, in
addition. Under this treatment they
get thin. Then he feeds them a mixed
ration of grains and meat, giving a
light feed in the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night. Under
this treatment they finish molting
quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. By October i
they are In full laying condition and
make profit through the fall and
winter.

Raising Chickens.

The greatest drawback to the chick
en- business is that there is not days

from the time an egg is pipped until
the ak closes the hens history. 1t is
natural after the pullets are feathered
out and weaned and the ROSTERS sep

is a great mistake IL winter eggs are
expected. If there is one thing more
than another that the average poultry
man is liable to err In II is lack OF

will realize that night spent under
such conditions must prevent the
steady, healthy growth necessary for
best results. This condition of affairs
Is liable to be worse with incubator
chickens, because they are raised In
larger flocks and the tendency Is to
crowd them more after taking them

TO Make the Hen, Law

If the hens don't lay, turn them out
and let them dig and hunt In the
ground for food, is the advice Of T. F.
McGrew. In the Country Gentleman.
Bury small grain where they viii find
1t when they dig, This will induce
them to hunt, and while thus employ.
ed they will find bugs and worms that
will quicken the production OF eggs. It
Is well to follow this plan as soon as
the spade will turn the ground, for 1t
adds vigor and strength to the hens
and insures strong. healthy chicks. The
lazy, Idle hen is of no use but to sit
about. eat and grow fat II she will
not work. she will not lay, II she will
not lay. her life should end, and her
frt carcass grace the table. You can
rest assured that the indolent hen Is
q nonproducer; soon she becomes too
fat to lay and too tough to be eaten.

Successful dairy farming depends d
great deal on growing the necessary
feed on the farm. City milkmen can
buy high-priced feeds and make a
profit, but farmers who ship longer
distances require all the advantage
they can get. Alfalfa is getting to be
one of the most important dairy feeds.
It can be grown in almost any part of
the country where there Is sufficient
moisture within reach of the long tap
root, provided that there Is no rock
to interfere with its growth If you
never tried alfalfa, commence now by
fitting small piece of ground very
carefully and make 1t very rich on
top. The new plants are delicate and
require careful feeding until they get
started. Most failures are caused by
insufficient preparation of the seed bed

A LIBERAL EDUCATION.
of Chaucer and Dante
Nat, Really Necessarily,

Knowledge of Chaucer and Dante
Not Really Necessary.
For moderately liberal education
man must be able fairly to appre-
bend the current history of the world.
He should first read good daily pa
per. He can skip all that does not
makes history - the accidents, the
crimes the society events, the games
and races, the actresses and divorces;
but he cannot omit the major events
the process and progress of legisla-
tion, the movements of democracy,
the conflicts of privilege, the discover
les In science, the inventions in the
arts, the diplomacy of nations and
| the general advance of civilization.
These things are of Importance to hiy
manity, and to have them foreign from
ones education leaves 1t utterly illiber-
al. Therefore, the first thing neces-
sary is not a book for the shelf, but
broad, intelligent journal for the
| table.
Then 1t is impossible to gain fairly
liberal education without the basis for
an understanding of these current.
facts of history, and this requires the
reading Of some books. What are the
important books?
Largely text books For example,
one should have read and fairly mas
tered reasonably full treatises contain
fling the latest conclusions in the chief
sciences, such as chemistry, physics,
geology, biology and astronomy, 80
that he may be able to gauge the value
of what he reads In journals and mag
azines. He will keep in touch with
new discoveries and inventions. He
viii be q man of his age, for liberal
education is the education Of this and
not of some past age Equally he will
read as good text books as he can find
on sociology, political economy and
governments. This will require read
ing of the history of the principal ma
tions, or, at least, Of a general history
Of the world. He must have read
enough on the history Of religions to
distinguish their differences and their
worth. /.
Now comes the question Of the value
Of pure literature in liberal educa-
tion, There is no doubt Of it's i'm
portance to put the polish on an edu-
cation which is. truly liberal. But pure
literature is not Of the framework,
the bone and muscle Of liberal edu-
cation, but Of that beauty which Is
skin deep. 1t. is delightful to read
