should always be kept before fowls Of
all ages.
In an egg of 1000 grains, 600 belong
to the white, 800 to the yolk, and 100
to the she'll
put her in small coop and feed her
plenty of fattening food.
Do not forget that it requires four
weeks to incubate duck eggs. One
week more than is required for hens.
Pigeons will not thrive unless they
are kept in comfortable, dry, clean
quarters, and are given plenty of room
to work and exercise.
Goslings and ducklings should be
fed damp mashes only, for the first
few weeks. They do not seem to be
able to do well on dry grains.
A mixture of lard and sulphur ap-
piled once a week is a good remedy
for scaly legs. The fowls legs should
be scrubbed before applying it.
The eggs from pullets are seldom
satisfactory for setting purposes. They
are often infertile, and If they do hatch
the chicks are small and sickly.
In 100 parts of the white of an egg,
about eighty-four per cent is water,
1914 pere cent. is albumen, one per
cent. mineral, and 21a per cent. sugar,
etc.
After killing the insects with any
strong solution, whitewashing will
sweeten the room and stop up the
cracks so that they will not have so
many hiding places.
Select hens little over size for the
cockerels that are up to standard
weight. and for the old males select
large, well-developed pullets. This
gives strength and vigor.

THE ERRORS OF
MODERN TIMES
By REV. FATHER CAMPBELL
Pastor of Church of Gesu. Montreal
Canada !

Can a man be free-thinker? Hard
ly, because his mind is not his own.
The mind was only lent to man, and
he might lose 1t, at any moment. Nor
was it always available. He could
not use 1t when carried away by pas
sion, or under the pressure of physical
pain. Only after some years was he
regarded as at the age Of reason, and
he then begins a career in which h.
frequently refused the commonest die
tates Of reason, and often arrived at
the end to find that his senses were
deadened by drugs or disease, and his
mind crazed by suffering.
Thus the amount of time which the
average man could devote to free
thought was to say the least, very
inconsiderable. When he did think,
he found his liberty restricted by
many laws. If he were a moral man,
there were many things on which he
could not mediate, unless at heart
criminal; If he were an intellectual
man he would observe the rules of cor
rect thinking, If he did not want to
modest man he would not claim omni-
science in anything at the risk Of be-
ing absurd.
Man could not manufacture new
truths by imagining or desiring
them; nor could he set aside old ones
because they were irksome and imply
moral obligations. The universe did
not depend upon what he thought of
it, and his intellect was always under
the necessity of fitting itself to the
eternal realities. A free thinker pro-
fessedly ignored spiritual things
which were nevertheless the greatest
factors in the development of the
to memorizing and repeating what he
sread or heard about the material uni
verse. He rarely examined for him
self, but pinned his faith to systems
and theories which were continually
shown to be false and were mostly
what conspicuous atheist said Of
Darwinism "fictions;" poetical accum-
ulations of probabilities without
proofs, and of attractive descriptions
without demonstration.
The free thinker denounced all sub
mission to authority as derogatory to
the dignity of the human mind, al
though the admission Of testimony
whose truth was vouched for was a
most rational act, without which hui
man society could not subsist for a
moment. He was particularly antago-
nistic to the testimony Of Christ,
though no reasonable man could pos
sibly reject it. He thus restricted his
field of knowledge within the narrow
est limits and built fence around it
over which he refused to look.
Faith, the free thinker regarded
as intellectual stagnation, though
nothing had so fostered intellectual
growth as Christianity. The blind
man who had recovered his sight did
not shut his eyes and go to sleep;
nor did the cripple who was carried
to the summit Of mountain avert
his gaze from the scene before him.
The rejection of Christ was the re-
lection of the eternal and infinite
truth which the finite intellect of man
was intended in it's own limited way
to reflect. The mind that did not do
so was defective.

The Bath as a Tonic.

Some women say that they have not
the vitality to withstand daily bath.
That Is usually the case when the bath
is considered a bother and too much
strength is expended in the scrubbing
and rubbing. The most beneficial bath
is the quick one that is over within
three minutes. Such bath is a tonic
1t is not necessary to get into the
tub. Merely go over the body speed
lily, bathing away the dust and secre-
lions of the skin, rinsing quickly and
rubbing briskly until the skin fairly
tingles. If one is nerve-tired, hot
bath just before going to bed will act
as a soothing, restful comforter.

Contrary to general belief, the appe-

People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.

There is no blessing in mere knowl-

The more we know that we do not

CLASSIFY THE YOUNG CHICKS
Most Successful and Satisfactory
Method Is to Bring Them up in
Batches, According to Age.
(By w. r. GILBERT.)


In nearly every instance of chicken
rearing there are birds of different
ages. There will be weeks and some
times months between them, and to
bring them up in mixed lots is not the
best treatment they can receive.
1t is a kind of process of the sur
vival of the fittest, as the older chicks
dominate the younger, and the latter
generally come off badly. They have
to take back position in all things,
as the large and stronger select the
choicest and most of the foods and
the most favorable positions in the
runs and houses.
We often hear Of early chicks do.
ing well and late ones not succeeding
SO completely. This is wondered at,
and few may attribute it to the cause
have pointed out, but it is very often
the case.
It is good plan to classify all
chickens as far as possible according
to size and age, and bring them up
in patches. This is a most successful
arrangement, and far more satisfac-
tory than mixed rearing.
The smaller chickens should al
ways have the best attentions in Sc
lection of the purest ground, the most
sheltered positions, and the sunny
spots.
Their food should be more adapted
for juvenile requirements than that
required for the larger specimens, and
when all are about the same size. none
experience those aggressions which
often occur in the poultry yard, and
always to the disadvantage of the
young and weak
In small yards each lot may be kept
in wired runs, but on the farm all re-
quirements are met admirably by
placing the coops or houses here and
there in different fields and positions
some distance apart.
How much better they all do by this
arrangement than any other, will, very
soon. be gratifyingly apparent.

No Cosmetic Like Water.

miration of all, washes her face with
lukewarm water, the best toilet soap
and piece of soft flannel each hight

she sips a cupful of hot water. In the
morning she dashes cold water over
her face and neck and pats 1t dry with

hot water again. She has never used
a cosmetic, and attributes the beauty
of her skin to the generous use of wa

MADE STRONGER BY SORROW
Lesson to Be Learned In the Song Of
the Psalmist: "My Heart ls
Fixed, o God!"

tu0 TSdtHtISIs WY Is
Fixed, o GodI"
my heart is fixed, o God, my heart
is fixed. will sing and give praise"
Psalm 57:7.
It is easy to say such things when
life goes smoothly. but this psalmist
said and meant them when things
were dark with him. He sang himself
into confidence and good cheer. In
the dark he believed in the dawn.
Like flowers that give their perfume
after sunset and are sweetest when
the night dews are falling, this sing
er's religion became more fragrant
and stronger in the night of sorrow.
The repetition of the phrase, "My
heart is fixed" with its direct address
to God, adds emphasis and leads up
to the unalterable determination, 81
will sing and give praise" in spite of
everything that might cause sobs and
tears to choke the song
For fixed hearts we must have fixed
determination, not fiuctuating and
soon broken intentions. We must
have steadfast affections and not flut-
tering love that like butterfly alights
now on this, now on that blossom, but
which flies straight as a carrier
pigeon to his cote and bears us direct
to God. We must also have continu-
Gus realization Of our dependence on
God and of Gods sweet sufficiency,
going with us through all the day.
Fixed determination, steadfast love,
constant thought-these, at least, are
elements making up the fixed heart OF
the psalmist.
We should not trouble ourselves
with the question whether the ideal of
the psalmist can ever be completely
realized. We are long way on this
side of such realization and need
not be inquisitive as to the final
stages which may or may not be pos
,sible, until we have advanced at least
a few stages further. Let us pray.
Unite my heart to fear thy name;"
make the resolve, my heart is fixed:
will sing and give praise" and listen
obediently to the command, HE ex-
.horted them all that with purpose of
heart they should cleave unto the
Lord."-Alexander Maclaren, D. D.

Raised Eyebrows.

There is little use to massage for
wrinkled forehead when lines are con-
stantly formed from the habit of rails
ing the eyebrows with every word.
Often one is unconscious of this trick
and should ask to be reminded. This
may provoke unpleasantness, so a
safer way is to use adhesive plaster
Whenever one is to stay in the house
for several hours at a stretch paste
lengthwise strips of adhesive plaster
at outer corners of eyebrows and just
above the nose. Paste with face in re-
pose and each time the brows are ele-
waited the drawing of the plaster joys
the memory.

Wavy Locks.

Even the straightest locks in the
world can be made wavy by the SIM
pie process of wetting the hair with
alcohol and pinning it in little loops
tight down to the head Do not put
the alcohol on your hands or brush,
but use a little wad of absorbent cot
ton and dab the alcohol lightly over
the hair Then, taking a strand at a
time, pinch it into loops about two
inches apart and pin each loop snugly
down. This can be done across the
back of the head as we'll as on the
top and sides, and the hair will wave
and be perfectly dry in about half an
hour, especially II thin piece of veil
ing is tied all around the head as
tightly as possible.

Death Among Chicks.

The trouble which causes the death
of many young chicks is commonly
known as white diarrhoea. Different
breeders have different theories as to
the cause of this trouble, among them
being lack of vitality of breeding
stock, improper feeding and poor ven
tilation. Lack of sunlight and imper-
feet sanitation cause the death of
many chicks. The diet should contain
a sufficient quantity of animal food
and the chicks fed often and not al
lowed to get so hungry that they will
devour large quantities at times and
then fast for long intervals.

watermeIons at christmas.

A farmer of Fairview, Kentucky,
sold a wagon load of watermelons the
day before Christmas. They brought
from 35 to so cents each, and from all
indications were just as palatable as If
they were being sold in the good old
summer time. The dry weather of the
last summer and fall was responsible
for the melons at that time.
