Every poultryman should give the
henhouse a periodical coat of lime
wash and the oftener he does it the
better. The matter is very simple
one. If the house is small all you
may want is a limewash brush and
bucket of water into which a few
handfulls Of quicklime have been put,
well stirred together and allowed to
settle. The stun when put on should
be about as thick as cream. A hand
full of common rough salt will help

shot him. The wounded dog crawled

side the package. The late George T.
Angel told in the Children's Friend a
story related by friend which adds
force to the thought: Think before

But Just then a neighbor came by.
He said, There is something wrong
here. Let him get up, and let us find
out what is the matter"
He patted the colt, looked at his
harness, and then said, Look at this
collar. 1t is so long and narrow, and
carries the harness so high, that when
he begins to pull it slips back and
chokes him so that he can't breathe
So it was and but for that neighbor

AMERICAN wAsTErrLNEss.
We Act as If We Thought Our Re-
sources Were Inexhaustible.

Instances of American wasteful-
ness abound on every hand, but
there is no better example than is af-
forded by the devastation of the for
ests. says the Colorado Springs Ga
zette. Untold millions of board feet
of timber are left every year by lum-
bermen to rot on the ground or in
stumps, and quantities almost as
vast are destroyed by forest fires.
II was scarcely decade ago that
the forests of the United States were
believed to be inexhaustible, but
now everybody who knows anything
of the subject is aware that they are
going so rapidly that their complete
extinction is matter of only a few
years.
This fact is realized by the rail-
roads, the great numbering concerns
and other extensive users of timber,
and some of them are taking steps to
replace the forests already Destroy
ed. But from the planting of the
seed to the cutting of the matured
tree is a long time to wait-from
twenty to thirty years-and in the
meantime where is the country to
look for its lumber supply?
The deposits of minerals and met
ais are going the same way. In an
address to the Columbia University
graduates in science the other day
DR.. James Douglas said that the
"monstrous wastefulness" of the
mining methods in vogue in this
country would soon bring about the
exhaustion of those resources which
we have fondly regarded as mex
haustible."

TO MARKET GEESE.
An Unwise Policy TO Sell Without
Fattenine-How They Should be Fed.

An Unwise Policy TO Sell Without
Fattenlne-How They Should be Fed
II is well known that geese are
often picked up and sent to market
In very poor condition. We find two
or three weeks of good feeding, away
from disturbing influences, make a
good deal of difference in the weight
and quality OF the flesh. Besides, the
market wants the heaviest and the
fattest geese, and it is surely a poor
salesman that does not supply the
kind of goods the market demands.

ing geese sell usually at 1S to "a

The first week in December is soon
enough to begin getting geese in con.
dition for market. No use confining
them during the fattening period
oOlut say, Dul huOW IudI any lOWl,
except turkey will fatten better in
a clean pen. with just room enough
to move around. If you try to fatten
them all together in the pasture, as
some do, your breeders will get too
fat for best results in the spring. So
even If it is a little trouble better

where they will not see or hear the
rest of the flock, and away from

ten them to top weights. Ground
oats and corn, half and half, moisten
ed with skim milk, is fine fattening
ration, and one that ducks or geese
relish. Boil their corn if you can find
the time, and remember if too much
grain is fed they lose their appetite
for green food, and the green food is
needed with the grain to put them in
the best condition for market.
A large drinking trough is a neces-
sity, and it must be kept clean and
well filled with fresh water. Stats
over the top of the trough help to
keep the water clean. The pen where
geese are confined soon becomes
filthy unless given daily attention. 1t
Is no small task to feed and care for
geese or ducks properly during the
fattening period, but it is work that
pays, so We can't afford to slight it.

makes him clean or unclean, as the
case may be.
1T is all very we'll" he said. to
say that people don't take bath be-

Gods Love for Us.

II ever human love was tender, and
self-sacrificing, and devoted; II ever
1t could bear and forbear; IL ever II
could suffer gladly for its loved ones;
If ever 1t was willing to lavish itself
for the comfort or pleasure of its OBJ
jects; then infinitely more is Divine
love tender, and selfsacrifcing and
devoted, and glad to bear and forbear,
and to suffer, and to lavish its best
blessings upon the objects of its love.
Put together all the tenderest love you
know, of the deepest you have ever
felt, and the strongest that has ever
been poured out upon you. and heap
upon II all the love of all the loving
hearts in the world. and then multiply

fewer than five children at different
times, covering period of nine
years" continued DR. Rogers. I'm
this case it happened that the hus.
band knew that they were not his
own, but a similar case was that of
woman who adopted three children at
different times. The husband never
knew. He was a travelling man and
away much of the time.
Again. A husband left his wife
after an alteration Of some kind and
went to indianapolis. The woman was
in despair. She wanted him TO come
back. An idea struck her and she
came to the hospital and adopted a
little boy. Then she wired to her hus-
band and told him a son had been
born to them. He came right back
on the next train and reconciliation
was effected.
These cases are just samples OF
the many which come TO our attention

the husbands is amazing, although,

ALARM CLOCK FEEDS STOCK.
When Timepieee Goes Of Oats Pour
Into Feed Boxes.

Hartford, Conn.-When an extra
cold snap came on, George Howe OF
Manchester wondered how he could
have his horses watered and fed early
IN the morning while he stayed in his
warm bed until he had to arise. He
solved the problem with an invention
which is in daily operation.
Howe rigged up an ordinary alarm
clock 30 that when its gong starts
ringing the key on the back unwinds
a cord. This releases a weight. The
weight slides several quarts OF oats
into each stall and removes the COW
ers of the water pals.
Howe sleeps until he wishes to get
up, while at $50 a. IN. regularly his
horses hear the breakfast bell and find
their meals awaiting them.

Invention of ReIls.

Paulinus, Bishop of Nola in Cam
pania, invented bells about the year
400. Originally they were used in
churches as a defense against thun-
der and lightning. The first bell in
England was hung in Croyland Abb
hey at Lincolnshire in 945.
About the eleventh century it be-
came a peculiar custom to baptize
bells in churches before they were
used. Musical bells and chimes were
invented in Belgium in 1907. The
curfew bell was established in 1868.
