But our text speaks of men as wolves
Human wolves act the same way. When in
packs they go I'm the courage that the howl
gives them, otherwise they do their work
with cunningness,
Christ says to all young ministers OF
Omaha today In the words OF the text;
Go your way; behold l send YOU forth as
lambs among wolves"
The human wolves are getting so reduced
in numbers compared with the better peo-
pie that they must about all do their work
in the cunning nature Of satan. They say
TO the lambs and sometimes even to those
who stand guard over the lambs, Come,
let us play together l mean you no
harm" Here is a game, innocent in itself,
come let us play.
Here are the long, paved streets, the
oiled and bordered boulevards. connecting
into one vast whole the many parks of a
great city all calculated for pleasure. And
In play and pleasure there is no neces-
sary evil. The whole face OF Gods creation
smiles with It, The birds sing 1t from
the tree tops, the bonnles play il in the
grass, e. &. A favorite bird in Australia
is called the bower bird, because 1t builds
many beautiful bowers out of twgs for
its play houses. The little spotless lambs
skip it on the hill sides, but all the while
the cunning wolf lays in wait for he
feeds on these joyful creatures.
Where satan brings in the cunning danger
of the wolf is often hard to see. Some
people today cannot yet see how he tried
to ,iay It on Jesus as he tempted Him IN
the wilderness. And where he plays the

is by his telling them that they may have
the Lords day for pleasure. Some play
with the wolf all of the Lords day. Some
after early mass, play with the wolf the
rest of the day. Some, after morning
service, perhaps holy communion, play
with the wolf all Sunday afternoon and
night.
My dear friends, as you cross the
threshold in leaving Gods house today

you forth as lambs among wolves" Blu
He also says, II will not suffer you t

ing, chickens can be made to lay
eggs the year around. June
weather is the best for chickens,
and any system that permits the
warmth of the chicken house to
fall below that level will cut down
egg production. Damp, infre-
quently cleaned quarters breed
diseases. The roosts should be
whitewashed and the interior Of
the chicken house cleaned regu-
larly every month. Some chickens
are raised under very primitive
conditions and do well, but best
results are obtained by best han1-
ling and by constant attention to
the fowls.
1t is said by authorities that
wading in the snow will set back
hens egg producing powers For
several days. 1t is certain that
cold weather will do this if the
fowls are not kept sheltered.
A chicken shed should front
south and the ground should slope
southwark, and the slope shoul I
be sufficient to insure the ready
running off of water, so that the
fowls will not wade about in the
mud.
Millet or ground corn and
wheat makes good feed. Fowls
should be encouraged to scratch
for their living, and where they
cannot be turned out on the
range the feed should be widely
scattered to make up for the loss
of exercise in hunting their food,

EGGS AT $1.OO EACH.
]. H. Swindler, The Poultryman,
to Hatch 0striches in
Mexico.

The following dispatch appear
ed in the metropolitan press
Monday of this week:
Mexico, Mo, May although
he paid $12 a dozen for ostrich
eggs, this is not bothering j. H.
Swindler, manager of the Central
National Poultry Experiment
Station of this city, half as much
as what he will do with the birds
when they are Matched. The
station is only partially com
pleted.
The immense incubator house
was the first building constructed
and already is filled with a lar ye
number of incubators, containing
several thousand hens eggs and
300 pheasant's eggs.
The latter are to be distributed
when Matched, to farmers in this
county to stock their farms.
Mr.. Swindler says it will not re
quire very much trouble to care
for the young ostriches when they
are first Matched, but when they
reach size larger than the or
binary turkey he either will have
to have an unusually strong wire
fence built for their corral or
dispose of them to farmers who
would like these monster fowls to
supplant the mule in drawing
the pillow and doing other farm
work.
Ostriches grow rapidly and Il
few months after they leave the
eggs they are almost as strong as
the ordinary horse.
One or two farmers in this SEE
! ton have expressed a desire t.
take one of the birds and break
it to harness. Such a thing ha
been done, and the ostriches have
pulled sulkies, and heavier We
hicles with ease and developed
some degree of speed when placed
upon a race track
Whether or not these birds will
be used, on the farms here is still
matter of conjecture, as those
who think they want them pre-.
fer to wait until they reach a
growth near maturity before they
decide. The sale of plumes is
another point being considered.

"TA.RA-RA-BooM.DE-AY'
The Death of Lottie Collins Re-
calls the History of the
Nonsensical Song.

Ta.ra-ra- boom-de-ay''-- made
famous by Lottie Collins, who died
the other day, and which in turn
brought fame and cash to her
was one of those songs you could
write your own words for. There
were about forty yards of verses
to the nonsensical thing which was
whistled and hummed everywhere.
Natives in darkest Africa jungles
beat it on their tomtoms and the
Llama of Lhlassa considered his
rendition of it on a jewsharp one
of the best things he did.
A complete copy of it probably
never was published. In the lead
ing music stores of Kansas City no
copy Of the song, in any form, was
available this morning, although
there is published version that
had wide circulation.
Lottie Collins was a London
music hall serio-comic. The song,
which had its origin in st. Louis
many years ago, was introduced
by her in the Tivoli, London
music hall, after it had been cen
sored and properly fumigated.
There was a swing to the song
that proved contagious. All Lon
don began to hum it and Lottie
Collins, who was a performer of
only ordinary standing up to that
time, became a sensation. Her
salary was increased from about
$50 to 5000 a week and in 1893
Charles Frohman brought her to
America Her salary was adver-
tised at $1,000 a week, figure
that was enormous in 1898. In
America she made an even greater
success with her foolish song AMI
eccentric dance that accompanied
it, and Lottie Collins returned to
England in 1894 richer and more
famous that ever.
1t is asserted that Billy Woods,
a variety actor, discovered eta,
ra-ra-boom-de-ay" as far back as
1879. He heard it played while
Summing one night and the fol
lowing night repeated it on the
cornet in his act at variety
theater. By degrees the tune went
to England and after several years
good words were written for il
and Lottie Collins introduced it
Up to that time the music never
had been published.
The history of this song va,
similar to that of "Pas-ria-la, ,
written by the late Ernest Hog III
a Kansas City negro. who, wl:el
he composed "Pas-ma-la" wa
piano player. "Pas-ma-la" "a
just as nonsensical and as ines
cusable as the Lottie Collins song
but somebody picked it up, too

vaude' lille houses and the SON
proved a big hit. The assertiO,

RAISING CHICKENS.
The Amateur is Taught TO Keep
Fowls For Profit.

|
skyscraper if the requisite con
ditions of sunlight, fresh air,
shelter, proper food and exercise
were met Do you banker after
fresh eggs and tender broilers
when the prices SCARF Are you
bothered with the poultry bug7'
Raising chickens for your own
table needs is a growing fad, and
any one with average intelligence
and piece of ground that is dry
and healthful can do it. A subur-
ban home is best, but on a more
limited scale fowls thrive
wherever they are given proper
attention and care and comfort.
Bulletins are issued by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, by the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture, by the Uni
versity of Missouri, and by every
state agricultural college in the
| United States, telling how to raise
chickens. A course in poultry
:. husbandry was recently given at
the University of Missouri, the
first course of the kind ever given
in the state, at which $50 students
attended day classes and over $50
attended night lectures on poultry
raising. Farm papers of all kin'l
conduct poultry departments "
Such a formidable array IF
scientific information is liable to
discourage an amateur, who may
feel, like the average farmer, that
"the way to keep chickens is just
to keep EN-" Many farmers
however, who have adopted sug-
gestions from the scientists, let
their poultry keep them, instead
of keeping the poultry. A few
chickens will prove profitable ii
properly looked after.
Eggs and dressed chickens are in
constant demand, are staple
articles of diet everywhere, and
can be depended upon to sell for
cash anywhere in Missouri.
The beef cattle marketed by
Missouri farmers last year did not
bring, by thousands of dollars, the
amount received for poultry pro.
ducts.
} 1t requires year and a half to
put a beef steer on the market,
while good marketable chickens
are a question of five or six
months.
Advancing prices of beef AMI
pork products have added to the
demand for poultry, so that chick
ems and eggs are at higher price
level now than ever before and
are a paying crop.
What sort of chickens shall ]
raise? is the first question the be-
ginner asks. 1t depends on
whether he wants to produce
r dressed chickens, sell eggs, or pat
, broilers on the market.
/ There are eleven leading
varieties Of chickens, which can
be grouped in four classes, the
egg breeds, the meat breeds, gen
e eral purpose breeds and Orna
, mental fowls. The European and
S Mediterranean breeds are the big
e gest egg producers. They are
I small, light feathered birds, ma
ture quickly, and lay early. They
have large wattles and combs anC
e are sensitive to low temperatures
The Asiatic breeds are the mea'
g producers; they are easily con
! fined by low fences, and are per
/ sistent settlers. The American
| breeds are a combination stock
{ adapted to egg production, with
out sacrificing weight. Orna
mental breeds are of little interes
