The Christmas Story.

Oh, the bells, Ger hills and dells ringing
warm from heart to heart;
Every stroke the story tells, every chime
proclaims it's part,
Pleading low with those in doubt
Sternly Gliding those about
To lose heart.
Oh, the bells, like living wells, throbbing
with the life they bear,
Softly each the story tells, eager for the
world to SHARE
Thrilling hearts that have grown cold
Pleading with the young and old
Everywhere.

CRATE TO FATTEN POULTRY
Some Farmers Follow That Method
for Quick Profits-Some Ex-
cellent Formulas.

Crate fattening of fowls is followed
by some for quick profit BY keeping
the chickens in confinement they do
not form sinew and muscle as they
do when allowed to run at large.
Some coops are divided into partitions
or stalls. each of which will hold two
or three young chicks or one full
grown fowl. They should be fed three
times day all they will eat in Is
or 90 minutes. Here are some formu-
las for fattening poultry in crates:
Equal parts of bran, corn meal and
oat meal or rolled breakfast oats,
mixed with SKINNED milk, fed three
times a day.
Buckwheat flour. pulverized oats
and cornmeal. in equal parts, mixed
with buttermilk.
Equal parts barley meal and oat
meal and half part of corn meal,
mixed with buttermilk or skinned
milk
fayorite French combination is
two parts barley meal. one part corn
meal and one part buckwheat flour.
little salt and coarse sand should
be added to their food. Three weeks
is the length of time to continue the
feeding. Chickens do not seem able
TO stand the confinement for greater
length of time. During the last week
of the fattening process five per
cent. of cotton seed meal and little
tallow may be added to any of the
above formulas
fattening crate is usually made
feet inches long. IS to 20 inches
high and 16 inches wide. 1t is di-
vided into three compartments, each
holding four to five birds, according
TO the size of the chickens. 1t is
made of Stats, except the ends and
partitions between the compartments.
which are of solid wood. The Stats
on the top. bottom and back run
