In Christian work, l naturally asked
what was being done from a religious
standpoint to reach and influence
these young men. found that at
that. time there was no Y. M. c. A.
movement for them, that they did
not attend. as body, the established
church, that there was, in fact. no
effort being put forth to reach and
influence them. Moreover, was told
that any such attempt would be re-
sented by them. was assured that in
Upsala the students reigned and woe
be to anyone who offended them.
Tales followed of pranks and practical
jokes which told the old story that
boys will be boys, and added to it the
fact that when wildness of life and

about the matter and the more I
prayed about it. the stronger became
the conviction that God had sent me
there for purpose and that l had a
mission to perform. Consulting with
some earnest men among the student
body, found the opinion divided as to
the probability Of undertaking a
course of meetings in which I could
reach these young men, Some said
that should regret it if l made the
attempt; that they might come down
in full force and create a riot Others
thought that my announcements Of
meetings for students would be abso-
lutely ignored. and that they would
allow the effort to be laughed at as
a failure. We realized that it was
necessary to do two things if we were
to succeed. First, we must arouse
their interest, secondly, they must be
assured that this effort was for them
exclusively and that the general public
! would be shut out. To meet this need,

and yellow ribbon. Looking over
them, through the open window of the
car, l saw a sea of upturned faces,
and above the faces a mass of white
caps waving wildly. I heard a cheer

again the train moving slowly out,

swiftly under brilliant blue sky,

Of lakes and forest. The passing blue

the large public halls, and it was to
me but one of the interesting foreign
cities of my trip through Sweden. Not
so long before, had been through a
good deal of religious persecution in

we composed poster in Latin and
one night 1t was placarded conspicu-
ously all over the city. The following
day groups OF students could be seen
reading 1t and soon it became the CON-
mon talk of the university. We knew
1t had produced a sensation, but we
had no inkling of what the result
would be. So we waited with some
perturbation of spirit for the appointed
hour. Never shall forget my feelings

l could hear the rapping Of many
canes, the hum of many merry voices
as they called for my appearance. I
was told that in the hall 1000 of the
1000 students had already assembled.
and an almost overwhelming realiza-
ton of my own youth and weakness
beset me. l was only twenty; was
a young girl, these were young men.
My heart was full of desire to talk
to them on the most sacred and most
intimate things of life. l felt myself
called to warn them, to plead with
them. and yet how would they receive
the message from such a messenger.
I realized that I was but the voice,
but could they be made to forget the
speaker,-her youth,-her sex, and
hear and receive only the message.
Then there came to me with a sweet
ness unspeakable, the realization that
God was near me, that he had prom.
ised that his Word should not return
unto him void, that must absolutely
forget myself and remember only the
need and the promise of divine help
and guidance.
l cannot give in detail the story of
what followed. For two hours, I
talked to an audience that listened,
first with smiling interest, then with
breathless attention, and later with
tears. as another voice, more far-reach-
ing then mine, spoke clearly to Sleep
ing conscfences and touched hearts
that had been growing calloused and
hardened through reckless living. One
of the most impressive moments was
at the close Of the meeting when some
OF the boys dropped their heads on
the seats in front of them and audible
sobbing could be heard amid the other
wise almost painful silence. l was

ADVICE TO BEGINNERS.
BY FRED GRUNDY.

I would advise every man who is
thinking of throwing up a paying job,
because he does not like it, and going
into the poultry business to get rich
to just hold his job little longer. Hold
your job and work into the business
gradually. You can make money from
poultry when you learn how, but until
you fully catch on it is best to operate
it as a side line have known a large
number of men to make mighty good
thing out of it as side line, as soon
as they learned how to manage.
A man cannot tell what is inside
house by looking at it from the street.
Neither can he learn to be a success
full poultryman by reading a book and
looking at a flock of hens. He must
learn them. AS he learns he begins to
make something, and as soon as he de-
cides that he must give them more of
his time, because they are paying right
well, then is the time to throw up his
job behind the counter or on stool
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

for themselves, and the range and ex-
ercise should be increased. Stretch out
your retaining poultry wire fence, and
they will stretch out physically, and to
your great satisfaction. At five or
six weeks of age the feed will be little
different least what they require
than what is fed the grown-ups, with
possibly the exception of one more meal
each day than the older flock.
AS soon as the sex can be d1scerned
the cockerels should be separated from
the pullets, and the cockerels made ready
for market, such as are not intended to
be kept for breeding. Equal parts of
barley or oats, corn-meal and bran, with
enough skim milk to barely hold the
mass together only in crumbly form
is a fine combination for the morning
meal. At noon give alfalfa meal, or
some other good green food Use very
little hard grains in fattening. In three
to four weeks they should be in condi-
ton for sale From thirteen to seven
teen weeks of age is the most profitable
time to sell cockere1s for table use.
July or August matches should be i'll
fine trim for such use during the
THANKSGIVING and Holiday season.
If your flock is sufficiently large to
spare the broody hens during this month
for setting and Matching, or at any time
for that matter, and incubators are also
used, I find it a most excellent plan to
set the different hens as they desire,
and at the same time divide up the eggs
in your incubator, setting at the same
time. This gives a supply of little
chicks which you can bestow upon the
hens as they come off with their own.
brood, and relieves from artificial care
and rearing just that many chicks. It
is always safe to count on a loss of
from three to five chicks, by the hen,
whether her brood is fifteen or twenty
three. I had a star mother last year
that nurtured twenty-seven, losing only
four up to the time of her dismissal of
the whole tribe. This year she deter
mined to beat me, so commenced set
ting before the incubators were started,
hatched out thirteen from fourteen fer
tile eggs, suffocated one, reclined upon
another, killing it, and is proudly rails
ing the other eleven, defying me to in
crease her family without notice.
