The message to the outgoing girls was given in Mrs. Beech CTS own delightful manner, with so much charm of that charming woman's earnestness that the young women of the school indeed all present carried away the determination for a greater and a more definite purpose in life.

UNIVERSITY CLUB
 READY FOR OPENING

The University club, which is to be formally opened Friday evening with a
 reception, has undergone a transforma- tion in the past few weeks which takes from it. forever the aspect of private res- idence, and makes it a big, stately, hos pitable club home for cultured, comfort loving men. The change was marked when the two big pillars, surmounted by clus- ters of globe lights, were raised at either side of the entrance, and will be more pronounced when the veranda, which passes across the front has been changed to twice its width, as 1t will be before much time has passed. For progress is evidently the slogan of the Univer- sity club. The changes which are so cleverly going forward are forerunner to

REAL BLESSING TO MANKIND
Easter Observance Means Much For
the Welfare of the Christian
World.

This is the tins of Easter, the NOV
able feast of the church by which all
the other movable feasts are arranged
in the calendar, the accepted anniver-
sary of the central fact in Christianity
and 'Christendom, the most joyful of
all observances to the pious heart.
To understand it's spirit and the
nunlberless customs and usages that
have grown up around it notice must
be taken of its origin and character.
The crucifxion of Christ plunged his
followers into despair, and this de-
spair heightened their joy when he
rose again. In like manner ever since
the self denial of Lent and the solem-
mites of Good Friday, increase the
cheerfulness and gayety of Easter. In
some countries and at one period of
the church's history this revulsion of
feeling took the form of extravaganza
and even levity.
Not only were the ceremonials and
music Of the churches sublime and

a crumbly state with cornmeal and
given on the board once day. Other
wise dry milk, albumen or finely
ground beef scrap can be given. After
the first day in the brooder fresh wa
ter should be given and renewed
often. Use a good drinking fountain
that will keep the water from getting
foul. Skim milk in a sour or clob-
bered state is good for fowls or chick
ems to drink, but do not give too
much. Every other day is sufficient.
Too much will cause bowel looseness.
Fine cracked corn and whole wheat
can be fed in place of chick feed after
four weeks old, but the latter is far
the best to use for young chicks, as
it is always convenient and ready.
Though a little more expensive, the
real difference In cost amounts to
comparatively nothing, as young
chicks cannot consume enough to
make the difference appreciable. The
old idea that chicks require a Gull.

or other "specialties" Modern chick

magnificent, but the day was ushered
in with the firing of cannon, and peo-
pie formally congratulated each other
on the resurrection. Then, carried
away with the excitement of the occa-
sion, there was much buffoonery
which perhaps 1t Is just as well not
to recall.
One of the pleasantest usages of the
day was the donning of new clothes,
as a symbol both of the renewal or
nature and of the new hope created
by the resurrection of Christ.
There were long ages in which the
observance of Easter was confined to
the Catholic and Episcopal churches,
while other Christian bodies viewed it
with dislike or on principle condemned
il. The Puritans in particular abb
horred it as something idolatrous and
sacrilegious But little by little this
prejudice has faded away until now
some respectful notice of the day, If
nothing more, is almost universal. So
be it; everything that promotes joy
fulness in the human heart, beauty
and decorum in human life, and
thoughts of the love and providence
of God in the human mind is bless
ing to mankind.

For the man disbursement, inertia,
despair, then uselessness; for the ma
ton disintegration. How much farth-
er reaching in its effects for i'll is a
hopelessness that this rough earthly
path leads to eternal life.
Are we discouraged today? Have
the worries of the money-troubled
winter hit us hard? Have we trials
that none but ourselves may know,
the more bitter that they must be
hidden? Are we bowed under
weight of illness, of morbid dread of
the future, that will not lift?
Let the joyous message of the Eas-
terrible bring healing Hope is being
voiced on every side today, in the
swelling notes of the organ, in the
soaring voices of choir and chorister,
in the inspiring message that Is pro-
claimed from every Christian pulpit
In the land.
The joyousness of Easter. Alas, for
the woman who cannot feel it; who
Is not lifted out of herself today.
What though the old gloom returns!
Is it not something to have stood on
the heights and sung aloud with the
JOY of living; to have seen the sun
piercing the clouds, to have caught a
glimpse of the radiance beyond? New
er again will the blackness be SO
dense, for is there not the hope of
that Joyous day when the sunlit
heights will be ours. to inspire us to
keep on climbing.
Let us not be content to keep the
seasons joy in our hearts. Real joy
BUSINESS must find an outlet, in CHEEKY
greeting, in forgetfulness of old grud-
ges, in taking brightness into the
lives of those who may be shut out
from it. Wear your Easter flower,
typical of hope, be heartened by the
Easter message, but share both flower
and message with those whose need of
cheer may be greater far than yours.

Success With the Chicks.

The most important thing in start
ing young chicks is to refrain from
feeding them single atom of food
for at least 36 hours. Nature has
filled their little stomachs before they
left the shell, and If they are stuffed
as soon as they appear many will die.
Give them plenty of water and after
SO hours feed them lightly on fine
rolled oats or coarse cornmeal, then,
just as soon as they show strength
and vigor, let them run on the ten
der, short grass for little while
every day.
Watch for lice from the start and
IL any are found on the heads or un-
der the wings touch the spots lightly
with lard or vaseline. Having started
right by following the above direc-
tions, success depends upon the fidel-
fly with which you manage the flock
until they become full-fedged or are
ready to be sent to market.

Ground Floor Plan of Barn.
The plan shown in the accompany
NO Ger.,r0 So fO,. - 11a,.,, Oc-cn 90 TT

The plan shown in the accompany
ing figure is for barn 36x60 feet. 1t
will accommodate IA horses. BY In
creasing the length twelve feet 1t will
accommodate eighteen head. 1t has
two feed rooms, safe and conven-
lent place for harness, two box stalls
and twelve open stalls.
The barn may be sided with 16-foot
stock boards with battens or with
shiplap. By making the caves higher
than 16 feet there will be more room
for hay, but barn of the dimensions
given will contain all the hay required,
as it will hold about forty tons. In
stead of chutes or the regular man.
gers to feed hay there is a feedway
three feet wide, with perpendicular
sides three feet high from the floor of
the stalls, and it is fioored on level
like this is better than managers or
chutes, as it allows man to pass
along the entire length of the barn in
front CT the horses when feeding;
there is absolutely no waste of hay,
as the horses stand with their heads
over the hay while eating and do not
pull it out and drop it under their feet,
and the chaff is not constantly falling
down In their eyes, as when a manger
is used that feeds from above.
The feed rooms are situated on each
side Of the driveway and are each d.
vided into two compartments and an
entry SO as to allow variety of feed
to be kept and to be easy of access.
The barn should be lighted with ten
windows on each side, two to each
box stall, two to each feed room and
one In front of each single stall. Com
mon barn sash should be used, having
six Sx10-inch panes to each sash, a
single sash to each window, with the
longest way of the sash UP and down.
They should be put In on top of the
grit, about four feet from the bottom
of the sill, and should be arranged to
open by sliding to one side.
Feed rooms should be sided with
hard pine flooring with the smooth
side next to the stalls and driveway.
Instead of harness room hooks can
be put up along the sides of the feed
rooms next to the driveway, which will
be found to answer as well as regu
lar harness room and more conven-
lent, as it will be more accessible.
The box stalls should be sided per-
pendicular, inside and out, from
floor to ceiling, with hard pine floor
ing, except the front, which can be
sided up four feet high and left open,
unless stallion is to be kept, In
which case the front may be finished
out to the ceiling with half-inch rods
set four inches apart in the top of the
partition or the regular box stall wire
work may be used. No manger should
be used in the box stalls, the hay be-
ing fed on the floor. None will be
wasted unless more is fed than the
animal should have.
The floor Of the hay NOW should be
not less than nine feet from the floor

Of the barn, though ten feet or even
twelve feet would be better for sani-
tary reasons. The NOV should be
floored solid, except over the feedways,
which should be left open to throw
feed down. The roof should have
from one-third to one-half-inch pitch,
and should be self-supporting, SO as to
do away with all cross ties in the
now The driveway can be foored
with two-inch plank and clay floors
used in the stalls, but that and many
minor details must be governed by the
individual taste and requirements OF
the builder. This barn was built for
about $1,O00.-Farm Buildings.

For Kingdom of Peace.

The mortal life of our Lord and
Savior was one long trial from the
rude manger-cradle, where, God omni-
potent, he was held helpless babe
against woman's heart-to those last
awful hours of dereliction, when. love
sacrificed, he hung bleeding, thorn
crowned victim upon Calvarys height.
Yet his mission among men was to
bring unto them peace; his earthly
existence, the very purpose of his COM
ing, was that by the great atonement
the kingdom of peace might be set up
forever among the creatures of his
hand.
